Doomsday Sequence Caravan: I Have a Mechanical Heart

In the end, Ling Hao fed two, and Cheng Jun fed one.

Yuyao, on the other hand, was somewhat disappointed, as her desire to eat eggs had completely vanished.

The group carried the three snake eggs back to the beach to the north.

As they approached the beach, Cheng Jun looked up at the sky and said excitedly, "The rain has stopped."

"Let's get started on the barbecue in a bit."

"This forest is all damp; there's no dry firewood," Yu Yao said, looking around.

"If there's fire, why worry about not having firewood?" Ling Hao wasn't worried at all. "Don't worry, as long as there's firewood, that's enough."

"Since we're going to have a barbecue," Su Mu thought of fishing, "let's go down to sea later and catch some fish to grill."

"Are there fish in the waters around here?" Cheng Jun and the others all looked at Su Mu.

"Yes, I saw it." Su Mu nodded.

"Alright then." Cheng Jun chuckled. "Later, let's call Yao Zhe along and go catch him together."

"Okay," Su Mu replied.

"I want to go too," Yu Yao said quickly, looking at Cheng Jun.

"You should go with Ling Hao to collect firewood and prepare to cut the fish," Cheng Jun waved his hand, dismissing Yu Yao.

"Hmph!" Although Yu Yao was dissatisfied, she didn't say anything more.

This made Su Mu take another look at Cheng Jun. Could there be something going on between these two? He hadn't seen them interact much before.

Back on the ship

An Xin had just returned to her room and hadn't even spoken when she fainted.

Su Mu quickly stepped forward and helped her to the bed, muttering to himself, "Is it possible that only a good night's sleep will wake up that lovely An Xin?"

After thinking about it, it really is possible.

Su Mu covered her with the blanket, gently kissed her forehead, and then got up to leave.

After locking the door, Su Mu called Cheng Jun and Yao Zhe together, went to the deck, and called Zhu Meng down from the boat, turning it into a small boat. The three of them took fishing nets and began to pull in the nets to catch fish in the nearby waters.

"Hahaha, that's great!" Cheng Jun laughed happily as he saw fish jumping around in the net, pulling it up with all his might. "How come I never thought there were so many fish in this sea?"

"It looks like we'll have snake meat and fish tonight too."

"We're so lucky to have such a delicious meal."

"Brother Cheng, do you know how to grill fish?" Yao Zhe asked abruptly.

"Huh?" Cheng Jun was taken aback, glanced at him, and said, "You don't know how?"

"No," Yao Zhe shook his head honestly.

"Then you can eat raw fish," Cheng Jun said, then looked at Su Mu, "Would you be able to?"

"It's alright..." Su Mu nodded. "It's edible."

"Then grill two for me too," Cheng Jun quickly said. "I don't know how."

"Then you can eat the raw fish." Su Mu glanced at him and laughed.

Yao Zhe couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"..." Cheng Jun was silent for a moment, then quickly flattered, "Brother Mu, just grill me two."

"Ugh~" Su Mu immediately got goosebumps. "Get out of here, don't disgust me."

"Fine, I'll grill it for you."

"Hahaha." Upon hearing this, Cheng Jun burst into smug laughter. "Yao Zhe, if you want to eat grilled fish, learn how to make it."

"I won't learn it." Yao Zhe quickly shook his head, subconsciously putting some distance between himself and Cheng Jun.

"What do you mean?" Cheng Jun raised an eyebrow, looking at Yao Zhe, feigning displeasure. "I taught you, and you didn't learn."

"You're too effeminate," Yao Zhe shook his head. "I can't do that."

"I think I'll learn how to grill fish from Brother Mu."

"You mean my mother?" Cheng Jun leaned closer to Yao Zhe.

"No, no." Yao Zhe shrank his neck and quickly waved his hand, then pointed to the fishing net and said, "Brother Cheng, let's catch the fish first, they're about to get away."

"I know, I was just kidding." Cheng Jun laughed and patted Yao Zhe on the shoulder.

In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour had passed.

Su Mu and his two companions cast two nets and caught a total of 150 fish, each about 30 to 40 centimeters long, which they all placed in the cabin of the Dream Chaser.

Ling Hao walked over, looked at the fish, and asked, "What are you planning to do with these fish?"

"We definitely can't finish them all," Su Mu said directly. "We'll keep twenty or thirty for ourselves."

"As for the rest, anyone who wants to eat them can exchange them for something."

"Two loaves of bread and a bottle of water, and we'll get you a new one."

"That works too." Ling Hao nodded. "Then I'll go and tell them that if anyone wants some, they can come and exchange it with you."

After Ling Hao left, Su Mu looked at Cheng Jun and the other two, "You two stay here and keep watch for now."

"I'll go back to the cabin and find some metal to make a few fish grilling clips."

"Okay," Cheng Jun replied. "Go ahead, Yao Zhe and I will stay here and keep watch."

Su Mu returned to the ship and entered the room, only to find that An Xin was awake, lying on the bed staring blankly at the ceiling.

"What are you thinking about?" Su Mu came to the bedside and asked.

"Where did you go?" An Xin leaned her head against Su Mu and said in a soft voice.

"I'm going to catch fish." Su Mu looked at her affectionately. "Hurry up and get ready, we'll grill the fish later."

"Mmm." An Xin nodded quickly. "I'll get up now."

"Wait here for me for a while," Su Mu said, and went to his personal space. Although the iron pillars had been completely devoured by the light, there were still a few metal shelves that he could use.

He reached out and placed his hand on it, and the shelf quickly transformed into five grilled fish clips, each about 30-40 centimeters in size. But it didn't end there; pale blue flames then appeared on the fish clips, as if they had been sterilized by high temperature, before he stopped.

Once it cooled down, he took the item from his personal space and went to the beach with An Xin.

"Wow, it's so lively here." An Xin couldn't help but exclaim as she looked at the bustling crowd on the beach. "By the way, where are our fish?"

"Over there." Su Mu pointed. After Ling Hao's announcement, quite a few people indeed took food and water to Cheng Jun and the others to exchange for fish.

After a few minutes

Only about thirty fish were left after the exchange. Cheng Jun quickly shouted, "Okay, okay, let's not exchange anymore. We'll eat these ourselves."

Those who didn't get the fish were somewhat disappointed, but dared not say anything and could only leave dejectedly.

Upon seeing Su Mu and his companion arrive, Cheng Jun quickly waved, "Come on, it's time to prepare our fish."

"Oh, right, Yao Zhe, go ask the captain for a few packets of pickled vegetables and some chili sauce."

"We'll use it directly when we bake it later."

"Okay," Yao Zhe replied and went to Ling Hao's place.

At this moment, Ling Hao returned to the cabin and went to Nie Xiaoying's place. "Xiaoying, let's go down and have some barbecue and grilled fish."

"Captain," Nie Xiaoying said with a grave expression, "there's something strange in that forest."

"We need to be more careful."

"Strange?" Ling Hao was taken aback. "We didn't see anything when we went into the woods before."
