Natural Disaster (MTL)

Chapter 169

Chapter 169


Forty-nine hours later, the rain of fire ended and the world went dark.

From the time point of view, this time is indeed night.

"What should I do next?" Liu Zhen asked.

Song Sanhe looked at Shao Shengan, and then at Qiao Qingqing.

They have been working together happily ever since they met, and in the past two days, they have received a lot of help from the Shao Shengan family.

During these forty-nine hours, no one can sleep, how long can they hold their breath? They need to go in and out of the water frequently, get oxygen and then hide in the water, which consumes a lot of physical strength.

Aunt Qiao and Aunt Xia have the weakest physical fitness and wear diving equipment most of the time. Shao Shengan and their oxygen cylinders were used for both of them later, but Song Sanhe could see that Shao Shengan and his wife and Uncle Shao were flying. Fei's physical fitness is very good, and they have never been exhausted and submerged. Song Sanhe and Liu Zhen were physically fit, but their teammates were much worse. The two of them took care of their teammates. They were incapacitated, and the teammates were so tired that they sank into the depths of the water several times. His breathing mask pressed against his companion's face and rescued him.

This aid, this friendship, are all kept in Song Sanhe's heart.

This family is worth hanging out with. Song Sanhe confirmed this again, so he was willing to listen to their opinions, and everyone continued to act together.

"Turn the wooden boat over first and check to see if it can still be used. If it can be used, we will rest first and wait until dawn." Qiao Qingqing said.

The boat overturned, and the three boats were damaged to varying degrees. The bottom of the boat was burnt to ashes. The only luck was that the boat was not so badly damaged that it would enter the water, and it could continue to be used after the water was poured out. Qiao Qingqing and the others boarded the boat one by one. After they were seated, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone was exhausted.

More people climbed out of the water. The ships in the distance were still smoking before they were burnt out. There was smoke everywhere, and white smoke was billowing. Many people couldn't help coughing.

Silent sea, a group of exhausted humans.

Everyone was paralyzed and rested. Qiao Qingqing leaned against Shao Shengan and quietly looked at the cruise ship in the distance. The cruise ship was burning all over, and finally burned to the ground. The remnant sank to the bottom of the water and fell into complete silence.

I don't know how long ago, all the hulks sank, and there was no light in this sea.

Qiao Qingqing took out the candle in the backpack: "The candle is not soaked in the airtight bag, it must still be used." Slam

-

The lighter in Shao Shengan's hand lit the wick of the candle, the faint light lit up, and then began to grow larger , illuminating this small world, making people feel the urge to cry.

I don't know who shook the water and took a small wooden board. Qiao Qingqing tilted the candle as before, poured the wax oil on it, and then pressed the bottom of the candle on the wax oil to fix it.

"That's great." Liu Zhen said softly.

They involuntarily surrounded the candle, and the candlelight was reflected in everyone's eyes, in the billowing white smoke that had not yet dissipated, like believers who were on a pilgrimage.

The water waves are slightly rippling, the wooden board swaying with the waves, there is a pool of wax oil on it, and the last section of the core solidifies in the wax oil.

The sky is already bright, and the chaos on the water is more obvious. Qiao Qingqing's family is still in place. After a night of training, he finally regained some physical strength. They are not short of food for the time being, so they did not go into the water to fish.

"These fish are enough for us to eat for a few days!" Father Shao heard that the lid of the bamboo basket was shaken slightly, smiled and touched it, checking that the lid of the bamboo basket was still intact and not damaged.

"I'm scared to eat raw fish, I really want to eat cooked fish." Zeng Guangyu said.

"Let's wait until we find the land. Since it's dawn, let's leave. This area is too dangerous. Although there have been no shark attacks in the past two days, but—" Qiao Qingqing shook her head.

She felt that this place could not go on.

"Then let's go, let's go now."

Everyone had no wings and left the waters in wooden boats.

Like them, some people started to leave after resting and recovering their strength. Some people started to collect supplies and search for relatives and friends. This sea became lively.

"Aren't we going to grab it? They are all grabbing it."

"Yes, a lot of the fleet's supplies are in the water, and they are all stealing."

Liu Zhaoyun was about to leave, and the only two remaining companions asked inexplicably.

Liu Zhaoyun looked at the backs of Qiao Qingqing and the others, and shook his head: "Let's get out of here first, and you can find the supplies later. There are fish everywhere in the water, can you still starve to death? If you don't go, I'll go by myself." How many neat people are there? The Qingqing family... have some skills. They left immediately after dawn. There must be their reasons. Liu Zhaoyun decided to follow.

"Don't, Sister Liu, I'll go with you."

"I'll go too, Sister Liu, I'll go with you too!"

After dawn, the tragic situation on the water became even more conspicuous.

There were charred debris everywhere, and human corpses. Many corpses floated on the surface of the water swollen, with no clothes on the part that came out of the water. It should have been the corpses that floated up after death and were burned by fire and rain.

There are really a lot of corpses. Not everyone can swim these days. Even if they can swim, the fire and rain for 49 hours will crush them to death under the water.

Qiao Songzhi's hands were shaking.

If there is no diving equipment, no oxygen cylinder... The corpses in front of her are the end of her and Asya.

Qiao Qingqing held her cold hand and watched her comfort her, she told her mother with her firm eyes. Even if there is no diving equipment, even if the oxygen cylinders are all used up, she will help her mother get oxygen. Even if she tied her mother to her back, she would not let her drown and sink into the deep sea.

Qiao Songzhi's eyes were also full of red blood. She sighed and looked away and patted Qiao Qingqing's hand. She knew in her heart that if that moment came, she would not be a drag on her daughter.

Everyone is so tired that a few hours of rest simply won't restore full strength, but everyone is rowing hard.

They passed through the corpse, pushed aside the debris, and finally got away from the water where the crowd gathered. Qiao Qingqing's hands trembled so much that she couldn't hold the oar.

"Take a rest, I'll check whether the portable stove can still be used. If it can, I can boil some hot water." Shao Shengan said.

After repairing the portable stove, Shao Shengan opened the plastic water bottle, poured the filtered clean water into the washed iron pot, and began to boil hot water. Qiao Qingqing had a sore throat and didn't speak much. She took out the anti-inflammatory medicine from her backpack, crushed it, and added it to the water. Everyone got half a cup.

The water is bitter, and even after it has been filtered, it has the astringency of seawater, and the anti-inflammatory drugs melted into the water, making the taste of the water even more unpleasant to drink.

But Song Sanhe and the others cherished it. Maybe it was a psychological effect. After drinking it, the pain in the throat, stomach, body, muscles and other pains seemed to be relieved.

Qiao Qingqing couldn't help laughing, her voice was hoarse: "How could it be so effective!" After

soaking for two days, everyone's eyes became red, and their voices were like a broken gong. There is no human, like a water ghost.

After drinking the hot anti-inflammatory water, Qiao Qingqing also felt better.

The sun was weak, and the sky was cloudy, and it looked like it was going to rain.

"Why is there no wind at all. The previous wind was so chaotic that the sails didn't dare to open." Father Shao was cleaning up the shade cloth again. The shade cloth was burnt and tattered.

There is really no wind, not at all.

"A lot of fish!" Shao Shengfei shouted loudly, clinging to the edge of the boat.

Qiao Qingqing also took a look when she heard the words.

Flocks of fish passed down the boat, like a broad black cloth with no tail visible. Qiao Qingqing pursed her lips, remembering that the night when it rained, she felt the threat from heaven and earth.

The sea of ​​fire has come and stopped, so is the sea going to be angry next?

"Let's go after eating and try to find the land." Qiao Qingqing said softly, she also knew that the land was almost impossible to find, but it was a hope.

On this sunny, cloudy and windless noon, Qiao Qingqing's family ate a pot of thick fish soup, and distributed some to Zeng Guangyu and Song Sanhe. When they were about to set off, Liu Zhaoyun and his boat approached. Qiao Qingqing always knew that she was behind, and the two sides kept a short distance. Seeing her approaching, Qiao Qingqing sat up and asked her: "What's wrong?"

Why is his face so ugly?

"Qingqing, look at this." Liu Zhaoyun gave her a withered water meadow.

"What's wrong?" This is an ordinary water plant. It probably has a little anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect. Qiao Qingqing has picked up a lot recently. she.

There was still shock in Liu Zhaoyun's eyes: "But ten minutes ago, it was still very fresh, I fished some and ate a part, and the rest was originally intended to be raised temporarily, and then it suddenly withered in front of my eyes. It's like this in your hands - it looks like it's been in the sun for three days."

Qiao Qingqing's face changed slightly, and she looked at the water plants in her hands again and again. She knew Liu Zhaoyun's character and would not talk nonsense out of nothing. Since the grass was fresh ten minutes ago, it was fresh.

She thought of the mysterious poplar forest.

Shao Shengan also remembered: "Let's see if other plants also have this change." He looked at Father Shao, "Dad, where is your basket of seedlings?"

Father Shao said distressedly, "They are all flooded. It's dead, the bamboo basket is freed for fish."

"The growth cycle of vegetables grown at home is normal..." Qiao Qingqing murmured, returning the clump of grass to Liu Zhaoyun, "I will pay attention to other plants in the future, but this is not Humans can control and block those."

"I know." Liu Zhaoyun just wanted to find a reason to approach. Even if he had worked together in the past, Liu Zhaoyun didn't just rely on him to talk about the character he wanted to go with, so he had to find a topic. After the topic was finished, she asked, "Can we accompany you?"

"You can, are your two companions reliable?" Qiao Qingqing asked.

Liu Zhaoyun smiled: "The unreliable are dead."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the two companions next to her were wrong, and they seemed to be a little afraid of her. Qiao Qingqing understood that in the past forty-nine hours, they were there. There are also some bloody cruel stories. She nodded, "Let's go then."
