Chapter 6 Survivors at Sea

[6]

The two of them walked up the stairs to the seventh floor. Yuan Qi and her son had not eaten breakfast yet, so they went to the restaurant to get their meals. You Xi also symbolically got one.

For breakfast, each person had a box of milk, a piece of bread, two boiled eggs, a quarter of a pineapple, eight steamed dumplings with meat filling, and a 500 ml bottle of mineral water.

The bread was packaged, and the steamed dumplings were frozen. They were not freshly made, so the taste was a bit worse, but given the current situation, it was already very good. However, some people in the restaurant were still dissatisfied.

Those were the original guests of the hotel. Those who could afford a five-star hotel had some money, and they basically would not touch these things when they had breakfast buffets before.

Some people clamored to drink some hot porridge, eat some soup noodles, or have bread with poached eggs, sausages, bacon, etc.

Although the sea water has not receded, the current situation is not too bad. Some people are panicking and worried, but there are also those who are not afraid. After all, there are about two or three hundred people in the hotel now. Some people always feel that with so many people accompanying them, even if they are trapped and cannot leave for a while, they will not be in any danger.

After all, the tsunami has passed, can it happen again?

In the final analysis, they still think that rescue cannot always not come. After a long time, even if the rescue on the island cannot be taken care of, rescue from other islands or on land will always come. After all, everyone is a tourist from different countries. If they can't wait for rescue from the sea country, can they not wait for rescue from their own country?

It is impossible that the whole world is flooded by the tsunami, right?

Youxi, who has global language barriers: ...

Do you want to set a flag like this?

Compared to some of the noisy guests, Yuan Qi said nothing, took breakfast for herself and her son, took out a zippered cloth bag from the side pocket of the large backpack, put all the food in it, and then slung it across her body. Then she picked up her son and went down to the eighth floor with Youxi. There

were already many people gathered in the open space at the entrance of the fitness center on the eighth floor. They were basically women, children, and the elderly, and some with minor injuries.

These were the first group of people who had been notified to evacuate. There were also other people gathered besides these categories, probably to see the situation and whether there were any vacancies left. It would be best to evacuate to the mountain as early as possible.

Several staff members were registering at the service desk outside the gym, and Ximan was among them. There were many foreign guests in the hotel. He was young and spoke international languages ​​well, so it was easy to communicate.

When checking in Yuan Qi and You Xi's room numbers, the recorder said a few words to the person next to him, and You Xi heard it.

The hotel knocked on the door to notify each floor, and the person who went to the 13th floor to notify had probably just been upstairs for a short time, and they were wondering why they came down so quickly.

Ximan overheard and looked at You Xi quietly. You Xi had a good impression of this young boy and smiled at him gently, but the other party avoided her smile with a red face.

Everyone who registered was given a card with their name, room number and the number of the rescue boat written on it.

You Xi didn't care whether to stay in the hotel or move to the mountain. Her mission was to escape from L Island, and leaving the mountain did not mean escaping.

Moreover, her situation was more suitable for single-player mode, and she was just following the crowd and didn't want to appear too strange.

She had previously looked through the tourist guide for L Island, and paid special attention to the situation in Wanghai Mountain.

Wanghai Mountain is very large. In addition to a few famous hotels, there are many hostels and B&Bs. Even if she moves there with the crowd, she can find a less crowded hotel or B&B to stay and continue to live alone. Taking a

step back, even if all the hostels and hotels are full, she will not share a room with others. At most, she will find a suitable place to set up a camping tent.

The configuration of her camping tent can withstand the polar climate, so it is no problem to use it here. After that, she will find a way to leave L Island depending on the situation.

Ten minutes later, the people who registered and received the cards were led by the hotel staff to the fifth floor. The door of the room at the end of the corridor on the fifth floor was open. Because of its special location, this room had a large triangular terrace. At this moment, the furniture in the living room was moved away, and the sliding door of the terrace was also removed.

"After the boat arrives, we will go down from the terrace. Everyone, check your clothes, shoes and personal belongings. Please make sure to wear clothes that are convenient for movement."

The hotel staff who led them down reminded them that the first group of people to take the rescue boat, including Youxi and her group, totaled 20 people.

Almost all the injured in the hotel were on this transfer list. Five seriously injured people were now lying in the next room. Because these five people took up more space, only 20 people were taken on the first boat, otherwise more people could have been taken.

Fortunately, there were three rescue boats in total. If they were divided into batches, at most four trips would be enough to take away everyone in the hotel.

The first batch of people on the first boat were all women, children, and elderly people. They didn't know each other. At this moment, they each found a place to sit down in the room and wait. Yuan Qi found a corner near the terrace, opened the cloth bag, and let her son eat breakfast.

Although Yuan Yuan was small, she could feel the tension in the atmosphere. She hugged Yuan Qi's neck and said a few words in a baby voice. Then she took the milk and drank it obediently. After drinking a few sips, she remembered that her mother was stuffing milk into her mouth again, and forced her to drink it. Yuan Qi drank two sips symbolically.

A box of milk was gone soon, and Yuan Yuan wanted to drink more.

"Yuanyuan, you've already had one box. Can we keep the other box for the boat?"

They were on vacation, and food was readily available in the hotel and nearby areas, so they didn't have much food in the room. Most of the food in the backpack was snacks for her son, such as cookies, cheese sticks, and candies. The small portions were not enough to fill her stomach.

In this case, the more food she had, the more secure she felt. She could endure being hungry, but she couldn't bear to leave her son.

Yuanyuan's chubby hand had already touched another box of milk. When Yuanqi said this, he turned around to look at her, then touched the milk box reluctantly, and finally retracted it obediently: "Then mommy, put it away for me." "

Well, Yuanyuan is really good."

The mother and son were talking when a box of milk was handed to Yuanyuan. He looked up and found that it was the beautiful sister who lived next door to them.

"This is for you." Youxi handed him the milk, then tied up the plastic bag containing breakfast, and then put the whole thing into Yuanqi's cloth bag.

"Miss You, this..." Yuanqi was unwilling to take it and immediately pushed it out.

"I've already had breakfast, and I bought a lot of food at the supermarket when I checked in yesterday. You're bringing a child, so don't be polite with me."

She gestured to her big backpack and touched Yuanyuan's head, "Drink it."

"Thank you." Yuanqi really needed food, and finally accepted it with gratitude.

Yuanyuan blinked her big black eyes at her, her eyelashes were thick, her cheeks were chubby, and she smiled sweetly at her: "Thank you, sister."

After that, he went to rummage through his small backpack. He had a small backpack slung across his body, which contained two small bags of biscuits, a few beef cubes, a lollipop, and a jelly.

He found his favorite jelly and stuffed it directly into Youxi's hand, "Sister, eat this, it's peach flavored, Yuanyuan likes jelly the most!"

Youxi did not refuse. After accepting it, she thanked him, stroked his head again, and then got up to check the water level outside the terrace.

She remembered that the water level yesterday was at the bottom of the fourth-floor window. Today, the fourth-floor window could no longer be seen, and the water line was less than one meter away from her current position.

This terrace is very large, and dense construction garbage and debris floated on the water at the base of the wall. About a hundred meters ahead, on the top of a five-story building, several people were preparing to move. It seemed that their target was here.

In fact, in the surrounding buildings that were not very high, the survivors were moving to the tall buildings around.

Although some buildings were high, they were sealed with bulletproof glass, which ordinary people could not break. Hotels like Ronaia with terraces and fences were undoubtedly a good choice.

A boat was heading towards the hotel in front of them. With the support of many slow-moving rubber boats, large wooden barrels and other simple boats, the speed of this boat could be said to be riding the wind and waves, and it arrived in a moment.

This is a medium-sized speedboat, the hull is a bit shabby. In the upper cockpit, a young woman with short black hair drove the speedboat in a strange posture and quickly approached the terrace.

"Mom! It's my aunt! Aunt!" Yuanyuan, who was chewing bread, suddenly struggled to get off Yuanqi.

"Aunt?" Yuanqi was startled, looked in the direction his son pointed, and immediately carried him to the terrace.

At this time, the speedboat had begun to slow down and stopped outside the terrace at a very suitable angle. Youxi realized that the young woman who was driving the boat had her right hand hanging limply, and there was a large bloodstain on the waist of her T-shirt.

She was sitting on a high stool, and there was another person beside her to help support her body.

Her face was pale, her lips were almost bloodless, but her eyes lit up the second she saw Yuan Qi: "Sister! Yuan Yuan!"

****

The speedboat was a little big and couldn't get too close to the terrace. Two hotel staff members helped and used the rubber boat locked in the bedroom to ferry everyone on the speedboat. It took a while to get everyone off the speedboat.

Yuan Qi was not in good condition. She had a dislocated arm, a concussion, and a sharp object pierced her waist and abdomen. She had been in the sea for nearly 20 hours and drove the speedboat all the way back. She almost fainted as soon as she entered the hotel.

Yuan Qi was shocked, happy, and scared. She held her sister's hand tightly and begged the hotel staff to save her.

Several people worked together to lift her to a clean room. A hotel staff member ran out quickly. After a while, a tall young man walked in quickly.

Youxi remembered him. He should be the surgeon named Lin mentioned by Ximan. He was from Beijing. He was the one who treated several seriously injured patients in the hotel yesterday.

"What's the situation?" He bent down to check while asking Yuan Qi who was closest.

Yuan Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he found out that the other party was from Beijing. He roughly described the injured part.

Lin Wu lifted the hem of Yuan Wu's clothes to check the wound on his abdomen, and his two slender sword-like eyebrows were wrinkled.

Seeing this, You Xi asked, "What's wrong? Is the wound infected?"

The most terrible symptom of a tsunami is wound infection. Fractures and punctures may not kill people, but if the wound is not treated in time and is contaminated by the flood full of garbage bacteria, the wound will become inflamed, festering and feverish, which can take a life.

Lin Wu glanced at her sideways and said, "Don't worry, it's just too much blood loss. Fortunately, emergency treatment was done and there was no contamination, so it shouldn't get inflamed." Lin Wu

first repositioned the other person's arm, and then performed a simple operation on him. You Xi left the room, and someone came to the corridor with an injured man. This was another injured person on the speedboat, with a wound on the head, who needed to be bandaged.

Youxi was thinking that the other person looked familiar, but when she passed by, the other person grabbed her and hugged her tightly: "Are you okay? That's great, you're still alive..."

Youxi: ...

Okay, she remembered that the man in front of her was Fang Zichen, the person she had a "secret crush" on in the "background story".

The other person was too excited and moved too much, causing the two people who were supporting him on the left and right to stumble.
