The five major military bases have different missions. The mission of the southern military base is to preserve the Fire Seed Plan, while the mission of the eastern military base is to build a new homeland. 

They have been working hard for several years to create the strongest materials and marine construction equipment, build huge naval warships, and fight life and death with tsunamis in plate collisions. 

Many elites have sacrificed, but the core of the construction team has survived. 

They traveled across the ocean day and night while braving the storms and challenges. Then finally they found a stable place to establish a maritime homeland. 

Once the sea base is built, it will be able to accommodate about 100,000 people, and construction has already begun… 

His mission was to reach out to fellow countrymen—soldiers, officials, or ordinary survivors—hoping those with Chinese descendant would come and help build the new homeland. 

The man had difficulty breathing and said with great effort, “63°23′ east longitude, 49°54′ north latitude.”

 

He suddenly grabbed Huo Yishen’s hand tightly, his eyes widened, and his tone was full of endless regret, “I can’t go back, and I haven’t completed the mission assigned by the organization.” 

You have ships and courage, you can go to the base to add bricks and tiles, help me find, find our fellow countrymen, and be sure to tell them that we have a new… new home.” 

Huo Yishen felt a mixture of admiration and complexity inside and struggled to respond to his request.

 

Until his death, he was focused on his mission, and his eyes showed reluctance and regret. 

Jiang Ning understood Huo Yishen’s predicament and gently said, “Alright, if we encounter any of our fellow countrymen, we will certainly inform them.” 

Rest assured, we will have a new homeland, and once the natural disasters are over, the prosperity of five thousand years will surely be restored.” 

The man looked at the two of them, trying to squeeze out a grateful smile, even with a hint of longing. Eventually, he gradually let go of Huo Yishen’s hand. 

The beating curve of the monitor slowly turned into three straight lines. 

Huo Yishen reached out and closed his eyes. 

Jiang Ning didn’t consider entering the base again, but when she heard about the plan implemented by the country, she was deeply touched. 

She is not as great as him, but if she meets a reliable fellow countryman in the future, she can still tell them the coordinates of the new homeland. 

Even she felt unsettled, and Huo Yishen’s feelings must be even deeper. 

Jiang Ning covered his hand and said after a while, “Even if we know the coordinates, not everyone has the ability to go there. We just need to do our best.” 

Huo Yishen took off the badge and armband of the man’s military uniform and asked Jiang Ning to put them in the space for preservation. “He is a hero. If there’s a chance in the future, we can return his things to his affiliated unit.” 

How to deal with his affairs after death is also a problem. 

If it were an ordinary person, the end would be a sea burial. They can either let his body sink to the bottom of the sea to rot or being eaten by marine life. 

But Jiang Ning felt a sense of reverence. “Let’s cremate him, and the ashes should be sent along with the badge and his armband.” 

As a national hero, he deserves respect and a proper burial. 

If it weren’t for the persistence of national power, she might not be able to get the helicopter and submarine. 

After making the arrangements, Jiang Ning took out some steel plates from the space to insulate and raised the deck. She then placed the man’s body on it, poured gasoline, and burned it. 

Once the cremation was complete, she took out the jars she had stocked from the ceramics factory and collected the ashes, then stored them in the space. 

She hopes that one day, he can return home. 

With this matter temporarily settled, Doudou continued planting, and Huo Yishen asked Jiang Ning to take out some bamboo and wood. 

He cut them to the same length and began making bamboo and wooden rafts. 

Jiang Ning was a little curious, “I have saved several wooden boats; there is no need to make some, right?” 

“Just keeping busy, finding something to do,” Huo Yishen said while working. “The weather changes every half hour at sea, it’s better to be prepared just in case.” 

Jiang Ning let him go and went back to continue studying the use of medical equipment. 

Three people and a dog, each busy with their own things. 

After Doudou finished watering the plant pots, she stretched and saw something in the sky. “Brother, the parachute is coming again, and there are so many people on it.” 

So beautiful and colorful. 

Could it be that they are landing on the ship again? 

Huo Yishen looked up and explained with a smile. “It’s not a parachute; it’s a hot air balloon. As long as you fill it with enough hydrogen, it can fly.” 

Doudou is very smart, but she has too little experience. “Have they been living in the sky?” 

“No, when the hydrogen runs out one day, they will fall down.” 

Doudou used her binoculars to observe. There were people with blond hair, silver hair, and black hair who seemed to be desperately waving and talking to the cruise ship. 

Her brother had taught her lip-reading, but she couldn’t understand what they were saying. 

Huo Yishen had taught her, “People who are not like us have different hearts.” 

Doudou understood. Even among their own kind, there were countless demons, let alone those who were different. 

In fact, she was just curious. She didn’t even think she could survive without her brother and sister-in-law’s protection, so how could she have the ability to save others? 

Besides, aren’t there already enough cases of people saving someone only to be harmed in the end? 

After admiring the hot air balloon, Doudou joined Coke and started training. 

The cruise ship turned a blind eye, and the people on the hot air balloon became anxious. After desperately waving for help to no avail, they discussed whether to force a landing. 

There were different opinions, and they even quarreled fiercely. 

Some said that there was not much hydrogen left, and they had to find a landing point. 

Some said that the cruise ship was so big that there must be many survivors. What if the other party not only did not take them in but instead slaughtered them like sheep? 

Emotionally, they cursed at each other. 

“Fuck!” 

“Son of a bitch!” 

In the end, the group with the guns won, and they had to gamble again. 

If the other party had fewer people, they could kill them in the dark and take the cruise ship. 

As the hot air balloon floated in the sky, the sound of their calculations was even audible to Jiang Ning. 

It was about to get dark, and since Doudou had noticed the hot air balloon, it had been floating very slowly. 

Jiang Ning glanced at the sky and smiled slightly. 

It was getting dark soon, and the hot air balloon slowly descended, 500 meters, 200 meters, 100 meters… 

For fear of alerting the enemy, everyone turned off the lights, leaving only the pale blue flame emitted by the burning hydrogen. 

Wait, where was the cruise ship? 

Where did the cruise ship go! 

Fuck, the cruise ship is gone, damn it! 

Everyone panicked and turned on their flashlights to search, but the massive vessel had disappeared into thin air. 

Damn it, they actually encountered a ghost incident. 

Seeing that it was about to descend to the sea surface, those who reacted hurriedly operated and wanted to launch the hot air balloon again, but who knew that the hydrogen could not hold up after burning for many days. 

Could it be that they were going to die in the ocean? 

“Fuck!” The man completely lost his mind, and while he was hysterical, his finger subconsciously pulled the trigger. 

The trigger was pulled, and with a loud “bang,” the massive hot air balloon was punctured. 

When the hot air balloon encountered an open flame, it instantly caught fire, causing the gas on top to leak rapidly, and the fall was even faster… 

“Ahhh!” 

Falling from a height of dozens of meters, everyone screamed in fear and fell into the cold sea with a splash. 

The salty sea water rushed into their nostrils, ears, and mouths, making them struggle desperately. 

Most of these people can swim, and some even had life rings. As they struggled to free themselves from the hot air balloon and search for the huge ship, someone suddenly felt intense pain in their legs. 

It felt like a sharp, pointed object was biting him, and he screamed in pain. 

Not only him but others also screamed. 

There were sharks! Sharks!
