Natural Disaster (MTL)

Chapter 160

Chapter 160


On the last night of the camp, Qiao Qingqing and the others cooked as usual. The stove is made of stone and does not need to be removed. We can continue to cook tonight. Shao Shengan still makes fried rice with eggs. With four eggs, the rice is covered with golden egg liquid, sprinkled with chopped green onion to burst out a more intense fragrance.

"Oh, how good are these green onions? They can continue to grow." Father Shao handed the chopped green onions to Shao Shengan, wiped the kitchen knife and cutting board with a dry towel, put them on the tricycle, turned around and squatted on the bamboo basket On the side, he looked at the green onion seedlings in the bamboo basket with distress. He cut off some of the wilted shallots, and the rest didn't look healthy either.

Plants still prefer the earth to the dirt wrapped in plastic bags.

Father Shao sighed and fetched water to gently water the young seedlings.

"Dad, come to eat." Qiao Qingqing called him.

"Hey here." Father Shao stood up on his knees.

The four were still eating in the awning, only lit by a thin candle.

"After dinner, Sheng An and I will go out, Dad, you and your eldest brother are guarding the boat at home." Qiao Qingqing instructed, "Don't be robbed, and call Liu Zhen and the others next door if you have anything.

" Where are you going?" Shao's father asked with concern, "Are you going to your mother's place?"

"No, we will entrust the tricycle to the Tangzhou Fleet. I have agreed with an acquaintance. Mom will go there tomorrow. Dad, I'll take you there tomorrow."

Father Shao nodded happily.

After eating, Qiao Qingqing washed the pots and pans and put them on the tricycle. The entire camp was cleaned up. She and Shao Shengan went out with a cart full of luggage.

Liu Zhen couldn't help raising his voice and asked, "Uncle Shao, where are they going?"

Shao's father smiled and said, "Go to the relationship to check in the luggage of this car. The boat is not big enough to fit this car."

"Go to the Tangzhou fleet? That's good, don't waste it! By the way, Aunt Xia and Aunt Qiao, why didn't you see them today?" Liu Zhen has also been busy all day, and it started after dark. After resting, I suddenly found that Aunt Xia and Aunt Qiao were gone.

"They, in the fleet..."

An hour later, Qiao Qingqing and his wife walked back in the dark. In this way, the luggage on the bright side is only one big backpack for each person, three bamboo baskets of chickens and ducks, one bamboo basket of vegetables, fruits and seedlings, and some trivial materials put into the wooden boat.

At night, Qiao Qingqing and the others slept in the awning, wrapped in emergency blankets, and fell asleep to the noise in front of them. As it was about to dawn, she was awakened by the sound of an engine. The sound of the engine was incessant, she sat up and followed the sound, and vaguely saw that the direction of the convoy camp was pulling up, and the convoy continued to go away from the coast. In addition to the convoy, more people evacuated on foot, looking like a group of ants moving far away from a distance.

Cui Xing was carrying luggage, sweating like rain, his wife Chen Xiao and daughter also carried slightly lighter luggage, the three of them were very inconspicuous in the migrating army.

Too hot, too tired, too sad.

I thought I could live a stable life, but... who would have thought! However, one day, the scope of the collapse spread to his camp. Usually, he worked hard to accumulate supplies, and he was so troubled when he wanted to move. He could only pick and choose, some took away and some discarded, and the family set off at dawn. .

There was the movement of the engine not far away, he glanced at it, and the motorcade roared and whizzed past. There is only one force with so many cars nearby. I heard that many people go to the convoy camp, but the requirements there are very high. They do not accept the elderly and children, only young men and women.

He didn't have a car, and he didn't have the extra energy to build a boat before. His family didn't have a boat.

"Where are we going?" Chen Xiao asked.

"Follow the car, those people who have cars should be able to find new livable places faster." He is jealous of those who have cars, jealous of their wealth, resentment of their stinginess, resentment of their selfishness, which can suppress all negative emotions Yes, fear of the future. Cui Xing thought, still hope that the people in the convoy can find a new safe place. They have a car that runs fast. If his family follows behind the convoy, they can probably be saved together, right?

Cui Xing glanced back, the scorching sun distorted his vision, he didn't see anything, but he imagined that those few forces with ships should probably sit slowly on the ship now, no matter how much the ground collapses, it doesn't matter. Just run for your life like them and sit on a boat.

Cui Xing gritted his teeth and continued walking, deciding that after the crisis is suspended, he must get a boat! No, a wooden tub is fine, at least the wife and daughter have to sit on it.

Qiao Qingqing's family did not move and were still in the camp. At ten o'clock in the morning, Qiao Qingqing took Shao's father and Shao Shengfei in a kayak to visit Qiao Songzhi and Shao's mother. There are tears in the eyes.

In the evening, the ground collapsed and came to ten meters in front of Qiao Qingqing's camp. Apart from them, Song Sanhe and Su Cong, there was almost no one else nearby.

"Feed the chickens and ducks, let's have lunch." Qiao Qingqing said.

The chickens and ducks have been trapped in the bamboo basket for two days. They used to be full of energy, but now they are all wilted. Fortunately, the appetite is still there. When Qiao Qingqing was feeding, they competed to eat and flew out several feathers.

By the time lunch is over, it's almost time.

The moist smell of the soil approached with the sound of water, and Qiao Qingqing's family boarded the wooden boat.

She has calmed down. On this small slope, she can barely see the lights belonging to the Tangzhou fleet in the distance. She knows that her mother is on one of the ships. It is a two-story passenger ship and it is very safe.

The most vulnerable mother and mother-in-law have been placed, and Qiao Qingqing is ready for the next disaster, come on! As long as there is no way to wipe out all human beings in one fell swoop, human beings can continue to live from the cracks!

It's getting darker.

On a two-story passenger ship, Qiao Songzhi and Shao's mother huddled on the deck and looked worriedly not far away. She found the lights, used binoculars to identify them one by one, and finally found the location of her family!

"They're there! On the wooden boat!" Qiao Songzhi excitedly told Mother Shao. Mother Shao hurriedly looked over: "Where is it? Let me see!"

She couldn't help crying when she saw it, she tightly grabbed Qiao Songzhi's hand: "Sister Zhi, why don't you go down and let Qingqing come. "She is very tormented, this is Qingqing's position.

"Don't think like this anymore, this is Qingqing's intention." Qiao Songzhi comforted her, "She is a junior, a daughter-in-law, and should take care of you. Qingqing and Sheng An are also worried about us and want us to be safer, so that they can also Then there is no worries. Besides, my physical fitness and yours are the worst at home, and the strength and endurance for paddling on the wooden boat are not enough. Now on the wooden boat, it will only be a hindrance. You listen to me, the two of us are here. Take care of yourself on the boat, this is the greatest help to them, you know?"

Mother Shao nodded with tears, and a thought came to her mind again: It's really a blessing from her previous life, and she has such a good daughter-in-law in this life.

While the two were talking, someone swam underwater and pulled the rope hanging from the outer wall of the boat to climb up.

"Someone got up! Help!"

"Uncle Chen! Someone is about to get on the boat!"

"Didn't they stop outsiders from getting on the boat a long time ago, why are there still people swimming here?" The

movement attracted the attention of the two of them. Li, Qiao Songzhi and the others also looked over.

Uncle Chen, the person in charge of the passenger ship, pushed aside the crowd and came to the deck. There were two people who climbed up. One man and one woman looked very young. They were soaking wet and their luggage was dripping.

The two of them didn't speak, they only looked at Uncle Chen with pleading eyes and looked at the others on the deck.

Uncle Chen sighed: "Everyone is here, just squeeze and make two beds for them."

"Uncle Chen, won't you be overloaded?"

Uncle Chen didn't look at the person who was talking, and waved his hand directly: "Come with me." The

two hurriedly packed their luggage. After swimming so far, they finally got on the boat and their hands and feet became weak. The woman stumbled and fell, and the man hesitated. He quickly pulled her up. He rushed here in a desperate attempt. He didn't know about the other ships. Only the two of them succeeded in this ship. They must work together.

The two left, but the discussions in the crowd did not stop.

"If you have two more people, you will have two more mouths to eat..."

"I'm going to have a look. I'm afraid that I will be assigned to my side. The bed on my side is already crowded!"

Qiao Songzhi looked back and looked at Shao's mother. Continue to use the binoculars to look at the direction of the home camp until the ground slumps to the small slope -

the two of them's breathing increased together, they saw with their own eyes the ground spread out like tofu, collapsed, the wooden boat fell, and in their wide eyes, The wooden boat plunged into the influx of water, the weight splashed in large swaths, and then the lights fell, and darkness invaded.

"Sister Zhi!" Shao's mother shouted, tears falling, "I can't see it, what can I do if I can't see it, sister Zhi..."

Qiao Songzhi was still steady: "It should be that the light was accidentally dropped, it's alright."

Sure enough, the vision soon re-lit, Qiao Songzhi and Mother Shao looked greedily in that direction, watching Qiao Qingqing quickly stabilize the wooden boat and use the oars to push away the debris that hit. Qiao Songzhi saw her daughter looking in her direction, and her gaze seemed to pass through the thousand-meter dark sky and landed on her accurately, and then her daughter showed a soothing smile.

The daughter waved her hand, and then the wooden boat began to move. I don't know how long it took before the wooden boat disappeared from sight. Qiao Songzhi put down the telescope and raised his hand to wipe his eyes.

Thousands of meters away, Qiao Qingqing and the others were all wet with sea water.

The feeling of falling brought by the collapse of the ground under him was very obvious. Qiao Qingqing was ready, and grabbed the edge of the boat with both hands to stabilize her body, but at the moment when the ground support was lost, sea water poured in, and the wooden boat smashed into the tide, She still felt her body suddenly lose weight, her body vacated, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

The water splashed everywhere, and the wooden boat swayed a few times and then stabilized.

The lamp accidentally rolled down when the wooden boat fell into the water. Shao Shengan shouted "don't panic", then bent over and touched the lamp to find it and hung it on the bow again.

Father Shao raised his hand to wipe the hand on his face. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a piece of wood hit him. He quickly picked up the oar and pushed it away.

"Oh, it's really scary, this water rushed in like a flood." Shao's father had lingering fears. Shao Shengfei hugged the bamboo basket tightly, and his whole body jumped up. He sat back again. His buttocks

hurt so badly . The one holding the bamboo basket, I have already tied it firmly so that it won't fall off."

Dabao's feet firmly grasped the lid of the bamboo basket, unbelievably stable, and he fell down after cooing twice.

Qiao Qingqing also grabbed the oars: "Row the boat first." The

wooden boat moved forward slowly and steadily, chasing the last land of the lost continent. At this moment, Qiao Qingqing still has a little extravagance in his heart: maybe there will be a piece of land that is intact in the end?

Behind them, the Tangzhou fleet is also moving slowly, and they will also follow the last continent until they lose everything.
