Follow the army to the island, the rebellious male protagonist was led by me to counterattack

Chapter 150 Water Spinach

Shi Xia left.

He waved his sleeves without taking away a single cloud, but he took only ten ships with him.

The sight of ten ships and sperm whales traveling together was spectacular. Halfway through their journey, they encountered a patrol boat from Haiming Island.

Inside the patrol boat, the soldier in charge of reconnaissance looked at the screen in front of him.

"Report: There is a large object moving ahead."

"Large-scale—"

The patrol boat's commander immediately came over, checking the data while also using his binoculars.

Could it be a warship from an enemy country?

No.

"Don't make a fuss, the sperm whale just came out to breathe."

"Don't disturb it, go around it."

The commander had barely put down the binoculars for half a second before his hand, faster than his brain, was already resting them on his nose again.

Is that a ship behind the sperm whale?

Sperm whales pulling boats?
A chill ran through my mind, and I instantly thought of Shi Xia, who had gone to Haiming Island for training.

The bizarre thought process led me to believe that since diesel fuel is no longer used, we should just switch to using sperm whales to pull boats, which would actually save a lot of money.

"Report, the other side has given a signal. It should be one of our Chinese fishing boats, but that sperm whale..."

"It should be Comrade Shi Xia."

No one but her could command a sperm whale like that.

"Report, that string of ships?"

"What do you mean a string of ships? Isn't it just one?"

The telescope was set up again.

This time they could see it clearly because the sperm whale had turned a corner; a very long bend was clearly visible, and it was coming towards them.

A dozen minutes later, the two groups were able to communicate.

"Comrade Shi Xia, these boats... did you find them?"

"correct."

Shi Xia's answer was perfectly natural, and the patrol ship didn't seem surprised at all.

If Shi Xia does this, then it's perfectly normal.

After watching Shi Xia's sperm whale-themed boat depart, the patrol ship's gaze fell on the direction Shi Xia had come from.

"Should!"

These people have crossed the line again!
If you don't use your own things and insist on taking them from other people's places, you deserve to have your hands chopped off.

On the other side, Shi Xia arrived at Haiming Island with Chuan Chuan's boat, but did not approach it, only giving a greeting.

Upon hearing the news, Chief Wei immediately ran out.

The sight of sperm whales pulling ten fishing boats on the shore is beyond words.

"Tokika——"

"Chief Wei, I'm just passing by."

The implication is that these boats weren't found for you.

Chief Wei also thought about the damage to ships on other affected islands.

"Okay, do you need any help?"

"No need, thank you. I'll be going now."

Undeterred, Chief Wei asked, "How about I go with you? I happen to know some leaders on the shore."

Mainly, he didn't want to miss this shocking scene; seeing other people's terrified expressions would be very interesting.

Shi Xia understood Chief Wei's gossipy nature and simply waved her hand, saying, "Okay."

Chief Wei boarded the fishing boat to the three islands with a steady yet excited gait.

After the fishing boats from Hai San Island left, Political Commissar Li, who was a step behind, heard that Chief Wei had gone there and that a sperm whale had pulled ten fishing boats. He immediately decided to patrol the near coast.

Before long, another patrol boat set off, carrying Battalion Commander Cheng, who was always eager to join the fun, and two other officers who had jumped aboard on their own.

A boatload of people chased after them and went on a "patrol".

The sperm whale couldn't get close, so after reaching the farthest distance it could, Shi Xia expressed her gratitude and whispered, "I'll ask you to scavenge barnacles with me tomorrow." The sperm whale seemed to understand, and one of them dived down to find its companions. It had found a helper with whom it could work together for a long time to scratch its itch.

Ten fishing boats were anchored at sea. Fishermen from Hai San Island jumped over to watch the boats as they approached the shore.

The port has been initially repaired and is barely able to accommodate people going ashore.

After getting ashore, Shi Xia went to the dehydrated vegetable farm, and Chief Wei also went there.

"You know Lao Lin?"

"You know him too?"

They both nodded together.

Shi Xia briefly summarized how she met Lin's father, while Chief Wei only said two words: comrades-in-arms.

The dehydrated vegetable factory is a semi-military industry, and most of its products are supplied to the military and border guards in the high plateau region, solving their problem of lacking fresh vegetables.

If a person lacks a certain nutrient for a long period of time, it will have a negative impact on the soldier's health.

It will affect training and work in various ways, so military supplies must be guaranteed.

When Shi Xia arrived at the dehydrated vegetable factory, Lin's father was in a meeting.

Shi Xia waited outside using facial recognition. The office staff brought her tea and newspapers, and if they hadn't run out of sunflower seeds, they would have at least given her some.

"I've noticed you seem to do very well anywhere?"

Last time, Battalion Commander Cheng said that if he hadn't arrived early, Shi Xia would have become a top leader abroad.

The way he was enjoying himself showed he was a pro.

"I've just done a lot of good deeds."

As soon as Shi Xia finished speaking, the person who had just poured the water nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, Comrade Shi Xia is the bravest and most righteous person I have ever met!"

Chief Wei covered the corner of his mouth with his teacup.

That's absolutely right!

That's justice!

"What are you still doing here? Do you think I can tell what's in the food? Hurry up and go find some!"

There was a loud thud, the sound of something slamming against the door and falling to the ground.

After that sound, the conference room door was pushed open, and several faces, both scolded and anxious, walked out and hurriedly disappeared down the corridor.

Lin's father was the last to come out, and the circle of firecrackers around the corner of his mouth was very eye-catching.

"Director Lin."

Shi Xia's address of "Factory Director Lin" startled Lin's father, as Shi Xia always called him "Uncle Lin."

"Shi Xia, what brings you here?"

"Director Lin, I heard you're short of vegetable raw materials?"

Lin's father nodded.

They are in extremely short supply!
A disaster and strong wind destroyed many vegetable fields nearby. For those too far away, the vegetables could not be transported intact, and for those too close, there was no way to transport them. Their dehydrated vegetable factory was like a skilled cook without rice to cook.

"I have a batch of water spinach, do you want it?"

"Really—hiss—"

Mr. Lin was too excited to notice the slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, but he couldn't care less at the moment.

"Shi Xia, we need a large quantity."

They were to supply all the border troops in the vicinity.

"It's no problem to temporarily alleviate the problem. The main issue is that water spinach grows very quickly, and we can expand the scale at any time to supply you first. If you still feel it's not enough, our three islands can provide improved seeds. Our water spinach can be grown without soil!"

After Shi Xia finished speaking, Lin's father was confused.

"Vegetables, without soil?"

Chief Wei also became interested.

Because of the soil conditions on their island, vegetables never grow well. If there were vegetables that don't need soil, could they grow them?
"That's right, we grow them in fresh water. The growth cycle is about half a month. After half a month, you can eat the leaves. They will grow repeatedly for more than a month."

"So as long as there is water, this kind of vegetable can be grown, and we, the three islands of Hai, are very willing to share it."

After she finished speaking, Shi Xia smiled, and Chief Wei, who knew her well, sensed the familiar formula.

Since that's the case, he doesn't mind helping Shi Xia out.

"Comrade Shi Xia, you three islands are truly selfless!"
