343: His body is not important?
Countless bloodsucking moths swarmed Jiang Fei's protective mask, obstructing her view.
Closing the iron door with her backhand, Jiang Fei took out an electric mosquito swatter and waved it.
Crackling sounds echoed continuously, much like firecrackers being set off during the New Year.
Using the electric mosquito swatter to clear a path, Jiang Fei found Xu Qianyao in the deck's lounge.
The lounge had been built later.
It was a small room converted from a tin box.
When tired from patrolling, one could come in to rest, drink some water, and eat something.
An isolation zone was also set up at the entrance.
Jiang Fei didn't pick up the flamethrower on the ground; she only used the electric mosquito swatter to clear the moths brought into the isolation zone.
Finally, she used the long-handled brush hanging on the door to sweep her clothes and backpack.
She opened the door and walked into the lounge.
Xu Qianyao sat on a chair, waiting for the water kettle on the table to boil.
"Captain Xu, these are the insecticides we brought from the Black Night Gang. We originally saved them for emergencies, but we didn't expect to use them at sea. You and the crew in the cockpit each get a share."
Jiang Fei spoke nonsense with her eyes open, handing two backpacks to Xu Qianyao.
She couldn't give insecticides to the cruise ship.
Although Xu Qianyao wouldn't enter their rooms to check how many supplies they had, there were too many people on the cruise ship.
Even if they each carried a large double-shoulder backpack to conceal their true intentions when they boarded, it would still be difficult to explain the source of so many insecticides.
Xu Qianyao took the backpacks with a pleasant surprise: "I'm practically being driven crazy by these bloodsucking moths. I was just wondering how to deal with them, and you delivered insecticides. It's truly a timely help."
"You've given me so much, do you still have any insecticides left for yourselves?"
Jiang Fei: "Yes, Lu Yu and I kept some."
"Then I'll accept them."
Donning their protective masks, Xu Qianyao and Jiang Fei left together.
He went to deliver the backpacks to the crew in the cockpit, while Jiang Fei returned the way she came.
She opened the iron door at the stairwell and went inside.
Dozens of bloodsucking moths took the opportunity to fly in, but they were trapped in the isolation zone.
Jiang Fei used the electric mosquito swatter to kill all the moths in the isolation zone and then entered the Supermarket.
She took off her protective suit and checked it with the electric mosquito swatter, hearing two clicks.
They were moth eggs stuck to her protective suit.
Exiting the Supermarket, Jiang Fei didn't rush to leave but instead took out a powerful flashlight to check her surroundings.
On the ground by her right foot, she found a pile of transparent moth eggs.
There were at least a hundred of them.
Without a careful look, they would be very hard to spot.
The reproductive capacity of bloodsucking moths was simply too strong.
Muttering inwardly, Jiang Fei used the flamethrower on the wall to burn the moth eggs, then left the isolation zone and went downstairs.
Xiao Chuxia and the other two had already closed their doors to rest.
Lu Yu was waiting for her in the room.
After a day of exhausting activity, Jiang Fei and Lu Yu turned off the lights and went to bed.
Lu Yu naturally held Jiang Fei in his arms, letting her head rest on his arm.
He had asked Su Liuyuan about dating.
Lovers sleeping together could deepen their affection.
Even if his arm went numb in the middle of the night, Lu Yu didn't change his position. He even pulled Jiang Fei, who had drifted to the side, back into his embrace.
As a result, when they woke up the next day, Lu Yu's right arm was sore and numb, and Jiang Fei's neck was a bit painful.
Jiang Fei had no choice but to take out a plaster and stick it on the back of her neck:
"Let's not sleep while hugging anymore."
Lu Yu nodded silently.
What Su Liuyuan taught was indeed unreliable.
He shouldn't have believed him.
After washing up in the bathroom, Jiang Fei pulled open the blackout curtain.
More than half of the bloodsucking moths outside the glass door were gone.
Jiang Fei opened the door, used the electric mosquito swatter to clean up the moths, and sprinkled insect repellent in the corner of the balcony.
Just as she closed the glass door, thump, thump, thump—
"Captain, are you awake?"
"I cooked instant noodles and also made a dish full of surprises."
When did Liu Yuan learn to cook?
Jiang Fei went to open the door, puzzled.
Before she could speak, Su Liuyuan outside the door eagerly said:
"Captain, let's go to the restaurant quickly, or the food will get cold."
Feeling that Su Liuyuan was up to no good.
Calling Lu Yu from the room, the three went to the restaurant.
Xiao Chuxia and Ling Zhaorui sat at one of the dining tables.
On the table were five bowls of instant noodles and a plate of pitch-black, unidentifiable objects, fried to a glistening sheen.
"Brother Lu, try it. Liu Yuan's first attempt at cooking was very successful."
Ling Zhaorui picked up the plate of fried, unidentifiable objects and brought it to Lu Yu.
Xiao Chuxia also brought chopsticks for Lu Yu, then turned to Jiang Fei and said:
"Miss, you shouldn't eat it. Fried food is not good for your health."
Jiang Fei: "?"
Lu Yu: "..."
So his health wasn't important?
Not knowing what Su Liuyuan and the other two were up to, Lu Yu picked up a small piece of the pitch-black substance with his left hand, put it in his mouth.
His brows gradually furrowed.
"It's very fishy, and it has a metallic taste..."
Lu Yu's voice paused; he vaguely guessed what it was.
"Bloodsucking moths?"
"Exactly!" Su Liuyuan grinned mischievously:
"Captain Xu told me this morning that the researchers on the cruise ship had done tests. These moths, annoying as they are, are rich in nutrients and protein and can be eaten."
"I caught a bag this morning and fried them. How is it, is it tasty..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Yu picked up a large piece of fried moth and stuffed it into Su Liuyuan's mouth.
"You'll know if it's tasty if you try it yourself."
Su Liuyuan: "..."
Thank you very much.
With a nauseating fishy smell filling his mouth, Su Liuyuan went to gargle in disgust.
Jiang Fei and Lu Yu sat down.
"Did all of you eat the fried moths?"
Xiao Chuxia: "We did, but it didn't taste as good as rat meat."
Ling Zhaorui: "I think it would taste better with some seasoning, but Liu Yuan didn't put anything in it to prank Brother Lu."
Noticing that Lu Yu was eating noodles with his left hand, Ling Zhaorui asked with concern:
"Brother Lu, what's wrong with your right hand?"
Lu Yu's eyes flickered slightly: "Nothing, my hand is numb."
He couldn't possibly say that it was because it was the first time he slept while hugging Fei Fei, and his arm was stiff and numb from being used as a pillow.
That would be too embarrassing.
Xiao Chuxia, sitting on Jiang Fei's other side, suddenly sniffed with her nose: "I seem to smell the scent of plaster."
"Miss, are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Jiang Fei remained calm: "I have a stiff neck."
Xiao Chuxia and Ling Zhaorui exchanged glances.
What a coincidence, both of them are unwell. Do you believe it?
I don't believe it.
However, since the two of them weren't saying anything, they couldn't ask, so they could only guess.
After a moment, Su Liuyuan returned after gargling and sat down on a chair.
"Captain, I have something to tell you."
"Captain Xu told me before he went back to his room to rest that he used to take turns with the other team members for cooking and patrolling."
"Now that we've taken the place of the team members, Captain Xu wants us to decide who cooks and patrols each day."
"The cooking task is simple, so I'll leave it to you and Chu Xia."
"I checked the kitchen's storeroom, and it's full of instant convenience foods and frozen vegetables, very easy to prepare."
"We don't need to worry about the crew's meals; there's a small kitchen in the cockpit with ample supplies, and they basically stay inside and don't come out."
"As for patrolling, Captain Xu said he's in charge of the night, so I'll go during the day today, tomorrow will be Zhao Rui, and the day after will be Lu Yu."
Jiang Fei: "Okay."
After breakfast, Lu Yu was responsible for washing the dishes.
Su Liuyuan put on his protective suit and went to patrol the deck.
Jiang Fei took Ling Zhaorui and Xiao Chuxia back to 001 and entered the Supermarket.
Ling Zhaorui had kept a few special hybrid sweet potato seedlings, which he went to plant in the plantation.
Jiang Fei went to get feed for the poultry, livestock, aquatic products, Big Yellow, and Little Black.
Xiao Chuxia went to the chicken coop and the goose and duck pens to collect the eggs they laid.
She separated the ordinary eggs from the fertilized eggs, sent them to the Supermarket warehouse for storage, or sent them to the greenhouse for incubation.
Busy until eleven o'clock, Jiang Fei led the two out of the Supermarket. Just as they were about to go to the kitchen to cook, 001's walkie-talkie rang.
It was Su Liuyuan.
"We found someone. Come to the stairwell quickly to help."
