Chapter 18 Freshwater Crisis!
The answer was as expected from Li Yi's words.
Liu Yue didn't know how to feel at this moment.
Although she had a lot to say at that moment.
But he couldn't utter a single word.
If Li Yi is the traditional kind of upright and kind superman.
She might question him about why he didn't show up sooner, so that so many people wouldn't have had to sacrifice themselves.
If he were a traditional, upright, and kind-hearted Superman, he would apologize profusely for being late.
But Li Yi doesn't know how.
He would only ask her, "So what?"
But he always manages to make some sense.
After hesitating for a long time, Liu Yue finally couldn't help but ask Li Yi.
"Li Yi, did you know in advance that the sharks would be coming?"
"Yes." Li Yi's reply was as crisp as ever.
Liu Yue gritted her teeth and looked at him, "Do you know why you didn't remind everyone?"
"That way, we might not even need you to lift a finger; we can do it ourselves..."
But before she could finish speaking, Li Yi interrupted her.
"If I hadn't intervened, you would all be wiped out by now, and you wouldn't have this opportunity to stand here unharmed and question me."
Liu Yue's face flushed red.
"That's not what I meant..."
She looked somewhat aggrieved.
She wasn't questioning Li Yi; she just wanted him to inform them of the information as soon as possible.
This way, they will have a way to deal with it.
You might not even need to lift a finger; wouldn't that be a win-win situation?
What a stingy person!
Liu Yue silently complained to herself.
At the same time, he glanced at Li Yi's expression and saw that it hadn't changed, so he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Thankfully, Superman can't read minds either.
Otherwise, she really would have jumped into the sea.
Li Yi's lips twitched slightly.
Although he can't read minds, Li Yi can still understand your obvious guilty expression.
Li Yi was too lazy to argue with her.
Student council members came to the cabin to deliver food.
Because the distribution was based on work, Liu Yue, who participated in the rescue, received relatively better food (a fragrant and soft cake base).
Li Yi, on the other hand, only received a pack of Oreo cookies and a piece of dried grilled fish.
Inside the cabin, everyone ate quietly.
University students are generally of relatively high quality.
Almost no one objected to this allocation method.
Distribution is based on work; the more effort you put in, the better your benefits.
Those who didn't do any work were too embarrassed to shamelessly ask for more food.
Jiang Ying woke up in the middle of the night.
Liu Yue was sleeping next to her and was woken up by her movements.
"Is the class monitor awake?"
"Are you hungry? I'll go get you something to eat."
She tiptoed out of the cabin, found a student council member on night duty, explained Jiang Ying's situation, and quickly received a meal.
It has water, meat, and bread.
Jiang Ying was also hungry, so she didn't stand on ceremony and quickly finished her meal.
Only then did she ask about other things.
"How's the situation now?"
"Is everyone alright?"
Liu Yue nodded vigorously and answered in a low voice.
"Yes! Everyone's alright now!"
"The ship is repaired now, and the sharks have been driven away, but many of the students..."
Liu Yue didn't finish her sentence, but Jiang Ying still understood what she meant.
His eyes dimmed slightly.
Seeing this, Liu Yue quickly comforted her.
"It's alright, class monitor. You've already done more than enough."
"As for the others... they've done their best, that's enough."
Jiang Ying thought for a moment and then asked about the other students in the class.
Liu Yue told him everything she knew.
The students in her class were quite lucky.
No one encountered a shark head-on; at most, two people were injured when the boat was hit and lost their footing.
"Where's Li Yi? Have you seen him?"
Liu Yue wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Jiang Ying's tone was a bit urgent.
Liu Yue seemed to be deep in thought, vaguely sensing something.
Could it be that the class monitor also knows that Li Yi is a superman?
Liu Yue had a guess in her heart.
"Li Yi is fine, he should be resting now."
"Class monitor, are you looking for him?"
Jiang Ying waved her hands repeatedly.
"No, no, I was just... asking casually."
For some reason, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Night has fallen, and the world is shrouded in darkness.
The torches lit on the ship became the only light in the world.
However thrilling things may have happened tonight, the sun still rises.
The ship gradually became lively the following morning.
Most of the students' rafts hadn't been upgraded and were easily destroyed by a giant shark last night.
The student council president and several teachers also realized this and started calling on everyone in the morning.
"Comrades, a single thread cannot make a line, and a single tree cannot make a forest! Yesterday's shark attack was a valuable experience and lesson for us!"
"We must unite; only then will we have a chance to fight against any monsters or enemies that may appear in the future!"
"I propose that we use the 'Jiangcheng University' ship we're standing on as a foundation to build a Noah's Ark that can accommodate all of us!"
"I believe! Sooner or later, the wooden boat beneath our feet will transform into a giant steel ship, and we'll no longer have to worry about shark attacks!"
They described a future blueprint that no one could refuse.
Upgrades to ships and vehicles require more and more materials.
Upgrading a ship to Lv.3 level now requires ten times the materials as before!
After discussion among teachers and student council administrators, the upgrade requirements were finally posted, and double the contribution reward was given for the required materials.
Li Yi glanced at the required materials.
100 wood blocks, 50 iron blocks, 10 cloth...
There are quite a few materials needed.
The surviving students continued to organize teams to go on expeditions.
The giant shark crisis brought an unprecedented sense of crisis to everyone. Even those students who were not originally prepared to go on adventures had to muster up their courage to go out and explore.
It's not just for everyone, but also for themselves.
They didn't want to be captured again when the next terrifying monster attacked.
On the other side, Li Yi also joined the class team formed by Jiang Ying and Liu Yue.
On the one hand, he couldn't resist Jiang Ying's pleas.
On the other hand, if he were the only one not to join the team, he would stand out as quite unusual.
The drop rate of supply boxes is not very high.
Sometimes Jiang Ying and her team would row their boat around for a long time but still couldn't salvage a single fish.
However, the number of survivors was quite large, with seventy or eighty people searching for them.
In one morning, they fished out seven or eight.
Once opened, it mainly contained food and ingredients.
Food is not currently scarce, as many people have already figured out ways to catch fish.
If you're lucky enough to encounter a school of fish, catching dozens of kilograms wouldn't be a problem.
We'll dry them and preserve them. Although they don't taste very good, they'll fill our stomachs.
Materials are scarce; we've made less than a third of our wood blocks, found very few iron blocks, and cloth is extremely rare.
The material issue is not fatal.
For the faculty and students of Jiangnan University, there is only one most fatal problem.
That's fresh water!
