Time flew by, and more than a year had passed since Dong Tianyu's transaction with Ye Liuyun.
After their initial trade, Dong Tianyu had had a few more transactions with Ye Liuyun. However, he still had no intention of joining the Mutual Aid Centre, and his dealings were solely with Ye Liuyun himself.
Over the course of a year, the survivors in Pengcheng had gradually adapted to life on the water. Although their large vessels were still those left over from the past, there were now quite a few more small wooden boats.
The pedal boat that Dong Tianyu rode was no longer the only one. These single-passenger vessels, like the bicycles of the 1950s, though valuable, were not rare in Pengcheng.
Though local thunderstorms still appeared in the sky from time to time, the survivors gradually adapted to this lifestyle, no longer lost as they were when the flood first came.
