Global Flood: I Survive on Duckweed

Upon receiving the location information from Qin Haonan, Wang Jun immediately dispatched a speedboat and shared the coordinates with Long Zhan and Ji Yizhi.

"They’re being a bit too cautious, arranging it in a force-8 wind region," Long Zhan said, pursing his lips.

"It’s understandable. If they weren’t this cautious, the Feixiang would have likely found them already!" Wang Jun replied. "Then there’d be nothing left for us to do."

Ji Yizhi nodded. "My soldiers have drones. We’ll see if we get a chance to pinpoint their location."

"Then you must be careful not to be exposed. At least not before the transaction is complete!" Wang Jun couldn’t help but remind him.

"Don’t worry," Ji Yizhi replied. "We won’t sabotage the trade."

As Qin Haonan waited with a mix of nervousness and excitement, a white wake appeared in the distance, rapidly closing in on him.

"I can see you now. Have your team slow down!" Qin Haonan immediately messaged Wang Jun.

"Roger that!" Wang Jun replied. The speedboat approaching him promptly slowed down.

It eventually came to a stop beside the inflatable boat he had deployed.

Qin Haonan sent Wang Jun the experimental data that Ren Yuanyang had intercepted.

"This is one-third of the experimental data. The Evolution Potion is also on the inflatable boat. You can go and get it now!"

After receiving the experimental data from Qin Haonan, Wang Jun immediately ordered the trade team to approach the inflatable boat and retrieve the Evolution Potion.

"Are we sure that’s the Evolution Potion?" Ji Yizhi asked doubtfully, watching the video feed.

"What normal survivor carries a syringe like that around for fun?" Long Zhan retorted. "I have a feeling it’s real."

Wang Jun smiled, shared the experimental data he had received with the other two, and suggested, "Whether the potion is real or not, let’s have our experts analyze this data immediately!"

Long Zhan and Ji Yizhi nodded, sending the data to the specialist teams on their respective fleets.

"We’ll need some time to confirm this on our end!" Wang Jun messaged Qin Haonan.

Following Ren Yuanyang’s instructions, Qin Haonan replied, "No rush. Take your time."

Wang Jun was very satisfied with the accommodating reply. ’It seems the data is real,’ he thought.

If it weren’t genuine, they would be rushing to finish the deal, not letting him take his time to confirm everything.

Soon, the assessment from the expert team proved him right.

"Captain, the experimental data is legitimate, just incomplete. If we could get more, it would absolutely accelerate our research on the Evolution Potion!" the head of the evaluation team said, his voice a mix of excitement and righteous fury. "Lvzhi Country are absolute bastards! This data was gathered from experiments on our own people! Utterly destructive experiments!"

"Don’t worry," Wang Jun said in a cold voice. "The people on the Feixiang will experience that same suffering. Don’t you dare feel any pity for them!"

This was the same group of experts who were researching the Evolution Potion, and those captives were destined to be their test subjects.

"Rest assured, we will make full use of these test subjects!" the leader said through gritted teeth.

"Wait here for a moment. Once the trade is complete, I’ll hand over the data to you at the first opportunity." Wang Jun waved a dismissive hand, and the team leader took the hint and retreated.

"Have you guys finished confirming the data?" Wang Jun pressed.

"I’m just about done. It looks fine," Ji Yizhi replied.

"I still need more time, but if both of you are okay with it, we can go ahead with the trade!" Long Zhan didn’t insist on waiting for his own team’s confirmation.

He knew his fleet’s research capabilities were inferior to the other two. As long as they both gave the green light, his people could analyze it slowly later.

"Alright, let’s proceed with the trade then!" Wang Jun nodded and immediately sent a message to Qin Haonan.

"We’ve confirmed the data. It’s good. Put the other two Evolution Potions on the inflatable boat. Once we’ve collected them, we’ll place the seeds and livestock for you on it."

"Okay!" Qin Haonan replied, reeling the inflatable boat back in.

After placing the Evolution Potions on board, Qin Haonan again paid out the entire length of the tow rope, piloting his speedboat away from the inflatable.

"Alright, you can retrieve the Evolution Potions now!"

Once he was more than two hundred meters away from the inflatable boat, Qin Haonan sent the message to Wang Jun.

"Roger that!" Wang Jun immediately ordered his men to retrieve the two Evolution Potions and place the crop seeds and the cages with the chickens, rabbit, and pigs on the inflatable boat.

Once he saw their men leave the inflatable boat, Qin Haonan immediately started reeling in the tow rope.

While watching the other party for any sudden moves, he glanced over the crop seeds: corn, wheat, soybeans... and more.

They were packed in disposable ziplock bags. Qin Haonan counted fifty bags in total. He couldn’t verify the quality of the seeds, but Ren Yuanyang hadn’t required him to; he just had to bring them back.

In the other three cages, two little chicks were still chirping away, sounding a bit hungry. The small rabbit, however, was quiet, its split lip twitching constantly as if chewing something. Two small pigs oinked and grunted, wriggling around in their cramped cage.

"Boss, I’ve got the seeds and the chickens, rabbit, and pigs. The count is correct!" Qin Haonan reported to Ren Yuanyang.

"Good!" Ren Yuanyang immediately sent the rest of the data to Qin Haonan to forward to Wang Jun.

In the brief moment that Qin Haonan lowered his head to count, two micro-drones launched from the other party’s speedboat and hovered high in the sky.

After receiving the rest of the data, Wang Jun replied with a smile, "Our deal is complete. It’s been a pleasure."

"Pleasure doing business with you."

"If you have anything else to trade in the future, you can find me at the Aircraft Carrier Base," Wang Jun continued. "You saw the coordinates, I assume?"

"I saw them. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now!" Qin Haonan replied. He secured the inflatable boat and sped away from the transaction point.

High above, the two drones stuck close to Qin Haonan’s speedboat.

As planned, he headed straight for the nearest Second-level Wind Sea Region. The sea was exceptionally empty. He even found a moment to feed the chickens, rabbit, and pigs some prepared, cooked rice fragments and straw.

Watching them devour the food, Qin Haonan muttered to himself, ’Looks like they didn’t eat well on the aircraft carrier fleet, either. You all are really lucky to be chosen and sent to the Boss. You won’t have to worry about food anymore! From now on, just focus on laying eggs and having babies to repay him!’

He stood up to carefully scan the sea behind him but saw no sign of Wang Jun’s speedboat giving chase. He glanced up at the gloomy sky and began muttering to himself again.

’Is Wang Jun really playing it this straight? Or is he tracking me in a way I can’t see? That’s it—a submarine!’ The thought suddenly struck him, and he immediately sent a message to Ren Yuanyang.
