Our neighborhood has been transported again.

Chapter 236 Once the ship is built, it will be their doom.

"There's actually a road!"

"The road to the island on the other side!"

At dawn, the first person to wake up immediately saw this smooth road.

One pass ten, ten pass a hundred.

A large crowd quickly gathered at the entrance of the residential compound.

"If you ask me, this is the tide going out."

"I never expected there would be a beachcombing road here, and it's so long that it connects directly to the island on the other side."

"That island is much bigger, and it must have more resources."

The island that everyone was discussing was located on the east side of the residential area.

This island is not the largest in the vicinity, but it is at least much larger than the reef they are standing on.

The island is covered with trees, and you can even see seabirds taking off and landing.

The island beneath their feet and the island opposite them both lie on this straight isthmus.

Further north of that island, about one or two kilometers away, lies the largest island in the archipelago, which even has small hills.

"The tides are subject to time restrictions, but I don't know if this is a full-day tide or a half-day tide," a resident living by the sea murmured.

After asking around and encountering people who didn't understand, I learned that the tides differ depending on the terrain.

A semi-diurnal tide consists of two cycles of high and low tide per day. Each cycle of high and low tide lasts approximately twelve hours.

A diurnal tide only goes through one cycle a day, with the total time for both high and low tides being about 24 hours.

However, some people speculate that "we may not even be on Earth anymore. It's possible that the tide could recede for 24 hours instead of 12 hours."

"It's hard to say how long it will last, but it shouldn't be a half-day tide. The tide hadn't receded by yesterday evening, and we only saw it receding this morning, which means the tidal cycle is quite long."

Qin Ziwen was also somewhat surprised. After thinking for a moment, he made up his mind, "First, we will assemble an elite force to go to the other side and collect intelligence on the islands there. Once we determine the tidal cycle, we can conduct a large-scale reconnaissance."

Once a node is established and its safety has been confirmed, it can be started directly.

He wasn't the only one with this idea.

Upon seeing this, Zou Jianghe quickly turned around and asked Huang Tao, "How's the shipbuilding going?"

As the Tongmenghui (Chinese Revolutionary Alliance) developed, Huang Tao's early advantage in carpentry at the carpentry workshop established his position in the industry.

Huang Tao managed to acquire almost all the related or matching cards.

Therefore, Zou Jianghe entrusted the shipbuilding project to Huang Tao.

“One boat has already been built.” Huang Tao hesitated for a moment, “but the initial plan was to build a five-meter-long boat, which was intended for fishing near the island and along the coast. Traveling such a long distance might be too risky.”

Zou Jianghe said, "It's alright, having a boat is better than not having one. Let's prepare a group of people who can swim, but not too many. Let's go to the other side and check the situation first."

While everyone was discussing, some of the bolder people had already left the reef and come to the exposed mudflats.

Shells and starfish can be seen everywhere on the mudflats, and small fish can be found in some of the puddles.

In the sky, several puffins circled overhead, occasionally landing to snatch small silver fish from the puddle, strutting with an air of nonchalance.

Seeing more and more people taking to the sea, many who were still observing could no longer sit still.

As the main force moved downstream, more and more residents appeared on the mudflats. Qin Ziwen thought for a moment and instructed Jia Liangcai to send people to watch for the rising tide. Once there were signs of rising tide, the people on the mudflats were to return. Afterward, Qin Ziwen led his team across the mudflats to the island on the opposite side.

Upon arriving on the island, which is about five or six small islands in size, there are a few coconut trees on the outer beach and a dense forest in the center.

In the central woods, the trees are covered with bird nests.

Sensing someone approaching, a large flock of puffins flew out of the nest, calling out warily.

Animals are somewhat scarce on the island. Apart from puffins, some people have found a few taipans and some other near-shore aquatic animals on the beach.

They didn't dare go near it, having heard that this snake was highly venomous.

After walking around the island, Qin Ziwen stopped at the beach on the north side.

His gaze fell on another island to the north.

On the opposite beach of that island, another group of people were gazing at them from afar.

"It really is on that island."

When the group spotted them, they didn't greet them or wave; instead, they just stared at them. Some members of the group retreated and disappeared into the forest behind them.

He frowned slightly and took out the binoculars he carried with him.

As the camera zooms in.

The faces in the image gradually become clearer.

He noticed the indescribable indifference on these people's faces, and some of them were licking their lips as they looked in their direction.

The weapons they carried were a motley collection, showing signs of being homemade, but some also showed signs of having been modified.

"Is this another neighborhood?" Zou Jianghe heard the noise and walked over, standing not far from Qin Ziwen.

……

“That’s right, it seems that’s the other side’s opponent.” On the beach, a tall young man in a white shirt with shrewd eyes and a spear in his hand turned to look at the burly man behind him. “Yesterday we found out that their community was still on that isolated reef, and this morning they dared to get so close to us. If it weren’t for the sea separating us, I would have rushed over and killed them all!”

Yang Long glanced at the white-shirted youth who was speaking somewhat erratically, and his brows furrowed imperceptibly. "Pu Jia, don't be careless. After all, they are opponents who can cross two maps just like us."

Pu Jia's lips curled up. "So what if they crossed two maps? They were just lucky to be matched with us. Once the ship is built, it will be their doom."

In my opinion, competing with them for mission points is the dumbest approach. The best way is to just charge in, kill all the men, and capture all the women.

Upon hearing Pu Jia's words, the group of young and strong men and women following behind him, regardless of age or gender, burst into laughter that was difficult to decipher.

Yang Long turned around, waved to the team members behind him, and then led everyone towards the other side of the island.

One of the team members following behind Yang Long whispered, "Brother Long, it seems like there's something off about the Blood Letter people."

Another team member scoffed, "What's there to feel? Isn't this the truth? I thought our urban village was already high-pressure enough, but these office building people are basically all crazy. I heard many of them have eaten..."

"Alright," Yang Long interrupted his teammate, "there are some things that should be said, and some things that shouldn't be said."

"First, let's work with Bloodletter to get the ship built. Then, we need to find a way to test their strength. I have a feeling that this opponent is not so simple." A shadow crossed Yang Long's eyes.

Unlike the arrogance of the Blood Letter group, Yang Long remembered one thing.

The geographical locations of both sides were adjusted based on the previous map score comparison.

If he wasn't mistaken, their geographical location seemed to be somewhat superior.
