David and Kenny exited out from the elevator onto the docks.

" How come we didn't stop at the temple?"

David nods "we will stop there next time, we didn't today, cause we have all this stuff. And I didn't want to be bothered while we had these good supplies. We came close back there thanks to Von and Sergal High from the stash."

David passed Kenny supplies and he put them into the boat's storage. Then David stepped into the boat, unchained it from the dock and started it up. David boated forward and then crossed some housing zones all the way back towards fishing zone C.

While Henry followed behind. The sea was filled with white cap waves from the breeze. As they boated along, and in the distance they could see zone C. They approached the border. So David slowed down letting Henry pass so they could follow them to Sergals' dwelling. While they waited. David asked Kenny. " Well Kenny, are you still up for the diving after this?"

Kenny nods "Yes I can watch the boat."

" Well that's great! If I find anything worth selling down there we will go back to the temple and kitchen." David looked and smiled at Kenny.

Kenny nodded and turned his head to watch Henry, Von and Sergal boat pass.

David followed Henry, Von and Sergal to the first stop, which was Henry dropping off his radio equipment. David and Henry's boats stopped beside Henry's cylindrical home's dock and chained up to it.

" Any of you wanna give me a hand bringing this stuff in." David and Kenny climbed out of the boat to help Henry.

David grabbing the radio transmitter box. And Kenny grabbed the antenna. They climbed onto the loading platform. David and Kenny rode up with other supplies that Henry packed up there. David and Kenny had to wait a little while for Henry to climb up to the top.

David picked up the transmitter box Kenny picked up the antenna and box of components. Henry opened his front door to see his kids run out and hug him.

" Hey,you guys, I'm not home just yet, I'm just bringing in things with my crew, so out of the way you two." The little boy and girl moved an stood on the side of the doorway letting Kenny and David through with the radio supplies Henry walked up and reached into the box Kenny placed on the table. Henry pulled from the box a bag of handgun rounds for David's pistol.

"Here you go David I'm sure you know what to do with those." David reached and accepted the bullets. Holding on to the bag.

"Thank you Henry!"

David walked out with Kenny and they climbed back down to the docks. David

Climbed back into the boat.

Kenny climbed into the boat as well. Henry, Von and Sergal started there boat and boated onto Sergal's home.

David opened the boats propeller motor to gaze at the contents of the gas tank which was looking empty. David gestured pointing at the corn fuel. Kenny grabbed it and passed David the small fuel can. David poured carefully with a funnel he had in a compartment at the stern of the boat.

Then David did the same for the oil compartment. Out l

David unchained the boat from the dock,

"Well, we are good to boat on, Kenny, you ready to head on to Sergal's."

Kenny nods as David pulls the ripcord and the boat starts beautifully.

Away the boat propelled towards Sergal's home.

The other crew members were already hooked on to the dock waiting for Sergal to come back down from his house.

David killed the engine and let his boat drift into the dock waiting with the chain in hand he latched onto the dock Sergal jumped from the last step of the ladder and walked over to David with a rifle around his back and a side carry bag which looked filled with little boxes.

" Take this David a Gift from me too you."

Sergal hands David the rifle and bag.

"The little bag is filled with rifle ammo."

David places his new rifle and bag of ammo in the boat.

"Thanks man, I'm going to keep my eyes open for something good to gift you back."

David smiles and shakes Sergal's Hand.

Henry sounds the horn on his boat.

" Let's go Sergal, we got fish to catch and lobster to trap."

Sergal turns and makes his way to Henry's boat.

David unchains his boat from Segal's dock, starts up his boat's motor then turns the boat towards his cylindrical home to grab a few supplies.

Traveling across fishing zone c to his and Kenny's home.

David pulled up to their dock and connected the chain and climbed up on the dock. "Hand me the rifle and ammo bag we got Kenny Sergal."

Kenny handed David the rifle, the ammo bag.

"I'm confused, you said our rifle?"

"Yep our rifle, I'm going to teach you how to use it " David climbed up the ladder. Looking at the sea to the water's edge.

He thought to himself that today's a perfect day for diving. Once he was at the top of the platform he entered the house and placed the rifle on the cleaning table and walked over to the living room and picked up his box of diving gear David placed his box of diving stuff on the table next to the rifle. David turned to the dried seaweed stocks David had dried a week ago. David threw some into the box along with some bottles of water and an umbrella. David walked to his main wall and took off the holdster his main spear. David slung the spear around him and picked up his box of diving gear, water bottles and sea weed stocks. David walked out the door and placed the box on the carry platform which travelled down as David climbed back down to the dock.

Kenny was waiting patiently looking out to sea while seated in the boat.

David picked up the stuff and placed it down on the dock David entered the boat and then brought the box in from off the dock. Kenny watched David fiddle around with the box then unslung his spear placing it in the boat. David unchained the boat and pull started the motor.

The boat started boating. Along the cylindrical buildings. Passing from Zone C all the way through Zone H.

" What Zone is this David?"

" This is Zone H, this place we don't fish here but when we come across steel, aluminum, or anything machine or factory oriented, we bring it here to Zone H for some coins or supplies. The finest gun powder to be bought from there."

Kenny nods "ok I will remember."

David continued on boating through passing the main factory in Zone H.

And many of the factory workers cylindrical homesteads.

They cleared the bounty line of Zone H.

Heading out to the Stilted Waters Edge.
