Chapter 134: Trading
As soon as the boat approached land, Huang Qian and Yao Ran jumped down. The two tied a rope to the inflatable boats and then wrapped the rope around a tree several times.
When they secured the boats, Long Yu and Shi Xuan turned off the engines, and the others came down.
After the six of them pulled the inflatable boats to land, Yao Ran took out her binoculars and looked in the direction of the reservoir gate.
The reservoir burst, and none of those people survived. The water level kept falling, and water kept flowing out from the reservoir like a waterfall.
Walking to her side, Long Yu said, "I hope it's just the Anyuan Reservoir that collapsed today. Otherwise, the consequences will be devastating."
There are five reservoirs around Juncheng City. During the drought, these five reservoirs supplied water to nearby ten cities, including Juncheng. If all five reservoirs burst at the same time, Juncheng City and several nearby cities may disappear from the map.
The others all fell silent when they heard Long Yu's words. Human beings are smaller than ants when it comes to natural disasters. No matter how they resist and struggle, they cannot escape death.
Yao Ran walked to a tree and sat down. She took a piece of chocolate from her backpack and put it in her mouth to replenish her energy. The dangerous situation just now really exhausted her mental energy.
Quan Yuanwei sat under the tree, feeling very scared but also grateful that he could escape death. If he died here today, he doesn't know how his grandparents continue to live in this crazy world.

Yao Ran looked at Long Yu and found him frowning and staring at the water. She didn't know what he was thinking, but looking at his gloomy expression, she knew it must be bad news.
Two hours later, the water finally calmed down. Yao Ran stood up and climbed up to a higher ground. Then she took out her binoculars and looked at the reservoir gate.
Seeing that the water in the reservoir was connected to the outside, Yao Ran knew that they could no longer fish. They caught most of the fish, and the rest was supposed to be washed away when the reservoir burst.
Yao Ran came down and said, "The water here had connected to the outside."
Long Yu took the binoculars from her hand and looked toward the reservoir gate.
A few seconds later, he said, "The terrain at the reservoir gate is lower, and the water flows around the mountain and eventually extends to the road outside."
Huang Qian heard this and asked, "Can we leave directly without climbing the mountain?" Long Yu nodded, "Theoretically, yes."
Carrying more than two hundred bags of fish over mountains and ridges is no joke. If they could drive directly out of the reservoir, that would be the best outcome.
After thinking about it, they decided to give it a try.
The six men untied the ropes from the tree and pushed the inflatable boats into the water. Fortunately, they didn't bring Long Yu's motorboat today. Otherwise, such a good motorboat would be gone.
After everyone got on the inflatable boats, Long Yu and Shi Xuan drove to the reservoir gate. Just in case, they did not untie the ropes connecting the two boats.
They drove for more than thirty minutes before they saw a large hole in the reservoir gate, about fifty to sixty meters wide. At this time, the sky was getting darker.
Yao Ran looked around with binoculars and didn't see those people. It seems none of them survived.
When leaving the Anyuan Reservoir, Long Yu turned off the engine, and Shi Xuan took the lead. To save fuel, they only turned on one engine.
After the Anyuan Reservoir burst, the water level rose by more than two meters.
Seeing this, Yao Ran frowned and prayed that the other four reservoirs could withstand the heavy rain. Otherwise, the water level would rise by more than eight meters in an instant. If that really happened, even the Ling Yuan apartment complex would be in danger, and none of them would be able to escape.
Arriving at the place agreed with Si Han, Shi Xuan found a quiet place to park the inflatable boats. Since they came early, they turned off the engine and the lights and sat down to wait for Si Han.
About an hour later, they saw lights approaching in the distance. Yao Ran reached into her backpack and took out the night vision binoculars.
Although the heavy rain still limited her vision, she still saw Si Han. There were only three people on the boat, including Si Han, and the goods were covered with waterproof cloth.
Seeing that no one was following Si Han, Yao Ran nodded to Huang Qian. He raised his flashlight and turned it on and off twice.
Si Han frowned slightly when he saw the light in the distance. He thought they hadn't arrived, but in fact, they arrived early and observed him from the darkness. If they wanted to deal with him, Si Han knew he wouldn't have a chance to escape.
Thinking of this, his expression sank, and he said to his two companions, "Don't say anything later."
His two companions nodded and drove the boats to the secluded corner. The transaction went smoothly, and Si Han left ten minutes later with a hundred bags of fish.
After he left, Shi Xuan looked at Quan Yuanwei and Sima Yun. He asked, "Do you guys want the fish or trade them for supplies?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yesterday, Quan Yuanwei and Sima Yun brought back more than one hundred kilograms of fish. Most of them have been pickled or salted and can be eaten for a long time.
Quan Yuanwei and Sima Yun looked at each other and said to Shi Xuan, "We want supplies."
After getting their answers, Shi Xuan started the engine and drove towards the department store. When Yuan Rihui saw them coming, he smiled at them.
