Natural Disaster (MTL)

Chapter 161

Chapter 161


The sinking of the land seems to represent the cessation of human life.

Survivors are running, rushing to the remaining land.

During this day, Qiao Qingqing's family occasionally rowed boats and occasionally rested. They did not dare to hurry too fast, for fear that when the land in front of them collapsed, the clods and rocks and the splashing water would hit them. Don't dare to be too backward, afraid of leaving the fleet's sheltered area and encountering a terrorist attack by a shark.

The speed of the Tangzhou fleet is not fast. They go for a while and stop for a while. They stay for more time and spend more time exploring the way. The waters in their area are still very turbid. Qiao Qingqing and the others have not checked it out, but the Tangzhou fleet was lined up, and even the largest cruise ship fell at the end and moved slowly. It can be seen that the water level is deep enough.

"A lot of people go into the water. They shouldn't let your mother go into the water to explore the way, right? It's cold underwater in this weather."

"Certainly not. Professional divers are needed to explore the underwater situation. If there is a problem, the anchor will definitely be If it gets stuck, no untrained person will be able to check it." Shao Shengan explained.

However, no matter how slow the fleet was, it would have already surpassed them. All Qiao Qingqing could see was the back of the cruise ship, and the rear of the cruise ship blocked all the ships.

The hot sun made people dizzy, the water vapor was steamed out by the sun, and the whole water area gave off an unpleasant smell. Qiao Qingqing's family put on masks and hats, and still felt like they were in a steamer.

At the end of the day, Qiao Qingqing poured Huoxiangzhengqi water twice for the family, for fear of heat stroke.

In the evening, the wooden boat stopped, it was not safe to row at night, and everyone needed a rest.

Song Sanhe and the others rowed both boats over, saying that they would take care of each other at night, and other people's wooden boats were scattered in other places. At this time, the survivors were actually the most vigilant, and the unfamiliar wooden boats were absolutely If you don't get close, you are afraid that you will encounter someone with bad intentions who will kill you and seize the boat. Losing the boat at this time is not far from death, and no one dares to take the risk.

Three wooden boats form a triangle.

Qiao Qingqing lit a candle, held the candle and poured the wax oil on a wooden board, and then pressed the candle on it. The wax oil solidified and the candle stood firm. She then gently placed the wooden board on the water in the middle of the triangle.

Everyone looked at the candlelight, and their hearts seemed to settle down.

Liu Zhen laughed twice: "Come here, it's ready for dinner!"

They were eating dried fish. Qiao Qingqing saw that they were still looking for a place to cook and dry fish during the day yesterday, so be sure to bring all the stock with you. Not a single fish can be lost.

Everyone is neighbors, and Qiao Qingqing's family can't be too maverick. Although it is their own ability to eat what they eat, in this special time, it is better to "get together".

Qiao Qingqing's family also ate dried fish and steamed large pieces.

"The weather is so hot, is the big root block not bad at night?" Liu Zhen asked.

"Fortunately, now who is not an iron stomach, it is enough to eat." Father Shao said with a smile.

"That's right, my stomach is much better than before. Anyway, if I eat indiscriminately, I will continue to live if I can't eat it." Liu Zhen spat out the fishbone.

At night, the Tangzhou fleet also stopped moving forward, and sporadic lights could be seen on the cruise ship.

"What do you think they are doing now?" Qiao Qingqing leaned against Shao Sheng'an, looking across the cruise ship to a passenger ship in front of her.

"Maybe he's having dinner, maybe he's finished eating and he's enjoying the shade on the deck." Shao Shengan said warmly, "Maybe he's sleeping."

Qiao Qingqing closed his eyes: "Let's go to bed earlier."

"Okay." Shao Shengan opened the door. The first aid blanket wrapped the two of them, hugged Qiao Qingqing against the edge of the boat and closed her eyes. The couple were at the bow, Shao's father and Shao Shengfei were sitting at the stern, and the kayak was also lowered into the water and tied to the stern. Three bamboo baskets and luggage were placed on it. The space freed up could allow people to stretch their legs and relax. Shao Shengfei leaned over and touched Dabao's head, and whispered to him: "Some bad people are coming to tell me." Dabao glanced at him, closed his eyes and ignored him.

In Shao Shengan's warm embrace, Qiao Qingqing barely fell asleep amid the rippling water and the rocking wooden boat, until the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone on her eyelids, which stimulated her to open her eyes.

She saw the family members who were also sleeping leaning against the edge of the boat, and saw a lot of debris floating in the turbid yellow soup, and Song Sanhe and the others were still sleeping on the two boats next to them.

The rising sun has dispelled some despairing breaths. The survivors between heaven and earth are like mayflies, but mayflies also want to live.

The new day was spent in non-stop rowing. Qiao Qingqing remembered the days. When the hands of the four of them were red, broken, and cocooned from rowing, they had already lived on the water when the cocoons became thicker and thicker. It's been a week. Qiao Qingqing was wearing a hat and a mask, and the parts of her face that were not covered were red and tanned, and it was so painful that she could only apply some medicine at night.

After ten years of natural disasters, the physique of ordinary people who have survived until now has improved. If it were ten years ago, they would definitely fall ill at this time.

Su Cong and their boats are not far from them. They are very good people. At the beginning, they cut a lot of wood. After saving a lot of wood, they started to build boats. Later, the poplar forest withered, and they were not affected. They made ten wooden boats. The wood below was also nailed into wooden rafts, which were dragged behind the boat and floated on the water to carry luggage. With a lot of supplies, he walked slowly and fell behind Qiao Qingqing and the others. On the evening of the eighth day, Su Cong rowed over alone, hoping that Qiao Qingqing could help.

"There is one person who is very ill. He has fever, vomiting and coughing. Her herbs are useless. I heard Liu Zhen say that you are a doctor. Can you help me?"

"Okay, I will take your boat over there."

Qiao Qingqing So simply, Su Cong showed an expression of surprise and gratitude: "Thank you, thank you!"

Shao Shengan also followed: "I'll help carry the medicine box."

Su Cong's fleet must have more than 100 people, ten wooden boats sounds like There are too many, but it is not crowded enough. The ground collapsed suddenly, and there is no time for the remaining wood to make a boat. We can only make some simple wooden rafts to hold luggage. Some children are light and can barely squeeze on. That's not enough. Some adults are only given one piece of wood. The wood is tied to the boat with ropes. People swim and float along with the wood, which is helpless.

People are so soaked in water, even if they take turns to board the boat and replace them, their iron bodies can't bear it, and some people get sick after a few days.

One was particularly ill, the person had lost consciousness and was still shivering in a coma.

Qiao Qingqing checked and then gave medicine with acupuncture and moxibustion.

"Is this all right?" Su Cong asked expectantly.

Qiao Qingqing shook her head: "There is only hope when the fever subsides. Now the conditions are not good, and I don't have enough things on hand... I have tried my best to help her reduce the fever, the rest... Let's see her life."

Looking at the girl, Qiao Qingqing Qingqing couldn't bear it, she was still so young, she was less than fifteen years old.

Su Cong looked sad: "Okay, okay, thank you." He rummaged through things and took out a package of dried fish wrapped in dried banana leaves, "There is nothing else good, this is dried salted fish, we use Salted."

Qiao Qingqing stretched out her hand to accept it without rejecting it.

After leaving the medicine, Su Cong sent their husband and wife back.

Three hours later, crying suddenly came from the quiet night, Qiao Qingqing woke up and turned to look. The cry came from the direction of Su Cong's fleet, and the name of the cry belonged to the girl who was treated in the evening.

"You've done your best, don't be too sad." Shao Shengan woke up at some point and comforted her in a low voice. Qiao Qingqing returned to her senses and shook her head: "She is suffering from severe pneumonia caused by a high fever—" Just like Shao Shengan in her previous life.

Shao Shengan understood, clapped her hand and comforted her silently.

Qiao Qingqing leaned against him, brewing sleepiness again. She dreamed that she was standing on the edge of a cliff, which was surrounded by endless waters, and there was nothing above the water except this narrow cliff under her feet. In the dream, she wandered in circles on the cliff, shouting loudly: "Mom! Sheng An! Mom!" The

black sky was low, and Qiao Qingqing was crushed by the huge despair, but her feet suddenly loosened. This corner of the cliff suddenly disappeared, and she The whole person fell down.

Qiao Qingqing woke up with a kick, and kicked her foot on the board of the boat.

"What's wrong with having a nightmare?" Shao Shengan asked hurriedly. He also just woke up, and suddenly his wife, who was leaning against him, trembled and kicked out.

"It's nothing, I just dreamed of stepping into a puddle." Qiao Qingqing rubbed her face.

A new day begins again.

But what they don't know is that an unbearable disaster is taking place ahead.

When Westbrook was woken up in the car, he scolded impatiently, "I'm still sleepy!"

Then he was slapped in the face.

"Get up! We're about to abandon the car!"

Wei Shao opened his eyes in a flash, and saw his father's extremely gloomy and ugly face.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Westbrook was still confused.

Looking at the appearance of his son who couldn't help him, he thought that the son of the old Fang family was already organizing people to abandon the car and board the boat. Westbrook's father was so angry that he slapped him again and didn't follow him. He said nonsense: "Get out of here quickly! Pack up your own things!"

He got out of the car after saying that.

Westbrook was slapped twice in succession. He was ashamed, angry, and scared. The last time he lost the assault boat and dragged his father to send someone to find him, his father just gave him a slap. What happened? Two slaps yourself? Westbrook hurriedly packed his things. He was the only one in the carriage still sleeping. Originally, there were messy daily necessities everywhere, but at this time there was a lot of rush in the carriage. He looked at it and saw that only his own things were left.

Fear struck his heart, Westbrook quickly stuffed the things into his backpack and jumped out of the car with the bag on his back.

Then he widened his eyes in shock, opened his mouth, and his pupils trembled.

There is no road ahead. The incision on the ground is like a biscuit that has been broken at will, revealing irregular and sharp edges and corners. Beyond the edges and corners is the vast sea, with countless messy debris floating in the water, and living people fluttering in it.

He looked left and right, the same thing!

No way out? There is no way!
