Chapter 168: Plateau Destroyed

The tsunami in the distance was getting closer, but because it was too far away and the sky was dark, the people on the rubber boat did not notice it.

On the raft area that the Fire Dragon Team and the Ice Dragon Team could not notice, Shu Fu was watching everyone climbing onto the deck of the shelter one by one through the surveillance camera on the deck of the shelter.

"Can't these people move faster?" Liu Shuang had a headache.

Hearing this, Shu Fu clicked the screen on the desktop again and continued to give orders in a cold voice: "Hurry up! Find the sliding door of the circular house and enter the shelter from there! After entering, enter your iris and fingerprint information on the machines on both sides of the aisle! There will be entry prompts on it, just follow them! After recording the information, the machine will give you a white wristband, put it on immediately! Just to remind you, the tsunami will arrive in about two minutes, and anyone who doesn't wear a white wristband by then will die!"

The raft has a protective shield and is in open water, so it is not afraid of tsunamis. However, the shelter is different. The protective shield cannot be opened before the people in the shelter receive the wristbands. Once opened, everyone inside will be expelled by the protective shield.

The epicenter of this earthquake is nearby, surrounded by water. The tsunami is not coming from just one direction. If the shelter does not have a protective cover, it will not be able to remain intact in this level of water pressure. So before the tsunami arrives, she will definitely open the protective cover of the shelter. By then, she will not be able to save those who are still hesitating and have not yet obtained the wristbands.

I don’t know if it was because they were scared by the words “death” and “tsunami”, but some of the dazed people finally came to their senses and quickly climbed onto the deck. At the same time, they urged and helped others to climb up one by one. Then someone found the open sliding door and entered the shelter.

They found the machine the other person was talking about, turned on the screen, and began to check the prompts and enter each person's biological information.

"There are two more machines in the aisle at the other end of the room. Everyone please don't crowd together. Divide into four machines and work simultaneously. Hurry! You have eighty-five seconds!" Shu Fu continued to give orders while checking the surveillance footage.

On the other side, Liu Shuang closed the sliding doors and fence doors on both sides after confirming that everyone had entered the shelter.

Shu Fu took out the map panel and began to move the raft in the opposite direction of the tsunami, trying to buy some time.

However, the raft had only been moving forward for a few seconds when Chen Fa's voice came over the intercom: "Xiao Fu, there is a tsunami approaching in the northern waters. We can't go! Also, there are huge waves in the east!" She was standing on the elevated lighthouse, using a night vision telescope to check the situation in the north and east so that she could provide Shu Fu with the news in time. "The tsunami is coming. I have to lower the lighthouse."

"Got it, understood!" After Shu Fu responded, a voice came from another walkie-talkie on the same channel.

This time it was Lu Zheng who spoke: "I'll keep an eye on this side, you should lower the lighthouse quickly."

He was standing on the terrace of the hotel. It was not as high as the Lighthouse Milk Tea Shop, and the view was not as good as that of Chen Fa, but the building base of the hotel was more stable and the height was fixed, so he could continue to check for a while.

If the tsunami came from only one direction, it would be OK even if the shelter didn't open the shield. Shu Fu could just increase the speed of the raft and escape in the opposite direction to be safe. But the earthquake had a very wide radiation range, and all the remaining land within sight was collapsing, so there was no way to determine which direction was safe.

"You should go down as well. You can't stay outside when a tsunami comes. If you are thrown out, I won't be able to save you." Shu Fu reminded.

"Don't worry, I understand." Lu Zheng's tone softened a little, "I'll be down right away."

Shu Fu put down the intercom and looked back at Liu Shuang again. She was staring at the surveillance screen, but she seemed to be aware of Shu Fu's sight and said, "There are thirteen people in total, and there are five more."

What this means is that there are a total of thirteen survivors, and five of them have not received their wristbands.

Upon hearing this, Shu Fu immediately clicked the screen and urged: "You still have thirty seconds! For those who have received the wristbands, you can go into the corresponding rooms and find the corresponding beds. Find a corner where you can stabilize your body and be prepared for collision. This tsunami will hit from three directions at the same time! The average height is between 150 and 200 meters! Only those wearing wristbands can survive!"

As she spoke, she continued to stare at the screen. Among the people on the screen, there was a face that looked particularly familiar. In fact, if she had not clashed with the rescue team an hour ago because of the survivors on the two giant ships that arrived, she would not be here at all.

Fortunately, when those people were clashing, she happened to have unloaded a group of people and left the ship, so she heard the news by accident.

The survivors did not intend to clash with the rescue team. Their original intention was just to hope that the rescue team would go back to Zhangcheng to save people.

But the rescue team had no choice. The authorities had been closely monitoring the crustal data of the Northern Plateau in recent days and had just discovered abnormal fluctuations. They speculated that the disaster might come early and had issued an order for everyone to evacuate.

When she heard the word Zhangcheng, Shu Fu subconsciously looked at those people a few more times, and then she actually saw a few faces she had seen before. She still remembered that the other team was called the "Fire Dragon Team".

The situation over there was that their captain missed the scheduled boarding time because he was assisting another "Ice Dragon Team" to rescue people.

They explained the situation when they boarded the ship, and the rescue team also said that at the same time there would be boats departing from the ship to other towns, and they would be notified to remember to pass by here and come to pick up people.

But after they arrived at the giant ship, the situation suddenly changed. Air raid alarms began to sound all around, and all boats and rafts began to evacuate towards the giant ship.

Although they were not quite sure why the disaster happened earlier, they understood from the situation that there might not be any other boats going to Zhangcheng to pick up people.

The captains of both teams are still in Zhangcheng. If no one goes to pick them up, they might die.

team leader?

Shu Fu thought about it and a name appeared in his mind: Feng Lu.

She remembered the white light bar that appeared above the other person's head when she left the Northland Plateau in the spring. In an instant, an idea flashed through her mind like lightning.

Could it be - she thought so, and quickly opened the function screen to check the trailer list.

[You can choose to tow a raft (Note: the bond value must be ≥80)

1. Chen Fa's raft (bond value: 100);

2. Zheng Feifei's raft (bond value: 96);

3. Lu Zheng's raft (bond value: 91);

4. Yao Ruoyun's raft (bond value: 90);

5. Liu Shuang's raft (bond value: 87);

6. Wu Shaoshan’s raft (bond value: 86).

7. Hua Qiong's Raft (Bond Value: 85);

8. Han Lan's Raft (Bond Value: 83);

9. Fang Xiwen's Raft (Bond Value: 81)]

The list is the same as last time, with nine people.

So, isn't Feng Lu?

Although she thought so, she felt uneasy in her heart, as if some sense of crisis had automatically arisen.

It’s very likely not, because it’s too much of a coincidence, but - what if it is?

The hidden mission is to find ten psychics with a bond value of 80 or above with her and tow the raft to complete it. What if the other party has not yet awakened, but died in this disaster because they were missed?

Just like Wu Shaoshan, before she went to Zhashui County to rescue them, she didn't know that Wu Shaoshan was also one of the targets of the mission.

His intuition was sounding the alarm, and Shu Fu did not hesitate. He quickly issued a voice announcement to the entire raft, then set Zhangcheng as the destination on the map panel, and then used the acceleration card.

If it really isn't the case, then it's fine to save him, but if it is, then the matter is completely different.

It takes a normal boat four hours to get from the giant ship to Zhangcheng, and the raft only takes about two hours at its normal maximum speed. After using the acceleration card, it only took her forty-five minutes to reach the vicinity of Zhangcheng.

For the next ten minutes, she stood on the raised milk tea shop and let the raft search around the waters of several boarding points in Zhangcheng. Later, the collapsed bridge caught her attention, and she used a telescope to see the jeep speeding on the bridge.

The speed was too fast, unusually fast.

Shu Fu realized something and returned to the Drifting Island House to open the function screen. This time, a new name appeared on her trailer list.

10. Fenglu’s Raft (Bond Value: 80).

**

Under the relentless urging of the female voice, the remaining five people finally all received wristbands within thirty seconds.

The protective shield was finally opened without the refugees in the shelter noticing anything.

They were still confused and didn't understand what was going on and why they had to register their information to receive a wristband. Their wristbands could open the door of a room next to the hall. There were four bunk beds in the room, and there were corresponding display screens and alphanumeric combinations next to the beds.

In the first room that can be opened, all eight letters and numbers are lit up, from A1 to A8.

The second one can open the other party's room, where only the first three displays are lit, from B1 to B3.

The third room door that can be opened is not on this side, but in another row of rooms, far opposite to the two rooms on this side. There are two letters lit on the bed inside, from Z1 to Z2.

These alphanumeric combinations corresponded one to one with the alphanumerics on their wristbands, and they roughly understood that these numbers corresponded to their beds.

The reason why there are three rooms is because men and women are separated.

The room was so clean, the floor was smooth and the bed was spotless. Everyone looked at each other, hurried to the bathroom in the room to take off their wet coats and shoes, and then came out again.

The room was not small. Even with four bunk beds, there was still enough space for eight people to find a corner where they could stabilize their bodies.

Some people did not rush to find a place to prepare for impact, but instead reached out to peel off the paper stuck on the inside of the window, threw the paper aside, then leaned on the window and used the dim yellow light on the circular deck outside to check the situation in the water outside.

Although Shu Fu made the countdown tight, she definitely left some room for maneuver. So the surveillance camera showed that not everyone followed her instructions and found a collision-proof position, nor did she remind them again.

Anyway, the protective cover has been opened. Even if the shelter is shaken by the tsunami, there will be no danger to life. At most, it will just be bumped and hurt a few times.

This was the first batch of refugees in the shelter, and she knew that such unfamiliar outsiders would not completely follow her instructions as soon as they arrived. When they entered the shelter from dangerous waters before, perhaps they would follow the warnings, but now that they were in a safe place, they would naturally forget their previous fears.

Sometimes, only after someone suffers a loss personally will he remember the warnings and reminders he heard before, and then keep them firmly in mind.

She gave Liu Shuang a few instructions, turned on her protective shield, quickly left her raft, and walked towards her own drifting island house at the front.

The functional screen can only be used in the Drifting Island House, so she has to get back before the tsunami hits.

The people who were looking out the window didn't have much time to watch. In the pitch-black night, a huge wall of water that towered into the sky had already approached them in the heavy rain. The people screamed in fear, but their hands and feet were out of control. They stood there stiffly, watching the wall of water hit the shelter and flooded the windows in front of them.

At that moment, they all thought they were going to die.

The entire raft island, along with the shelter behind it, was once again swept away by the tsunami waves. Shu Fu had taken seasickness pills in advance this time and still sat in the old place - on the cushion in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

She didn't know how wide the earthquake was. She heard the helicopter's air raid sirens, but the raft was still speeding on the water, so she hardly felt the shaking of the water.

The actual shaking began more than ten minutes after arriving in Zhangcheng.

When the second earthquake struck, Feng Lu, Ke Chen and their group were in the center of the bridge, far away from the urban areas on both sides of Zhangcheng. Although they knew that the buildings and the ground in Zhangcheng were collapsing, the distance was too far and the vision was limited, so they did not have a direct view of the situation in the urban area of ​​Zhangcheng.

At that time, the entire land where Zhangcheng was located was shaking, shaking until it fell apart, and the collapsed land and the entire city broke apart, collapsed, and sank together...

This was not an ordinary earthquake at all, so the tsunami it caused was something she had never seen before.

The tsunami from the south first engulfed the raft. The raft island tumbled in the whirlpool of huge waves for a moment, and then another huge force hit. The shock brought by the impact was devastating. After two layers of protection, the house was still shaking violently. Shu Fu leaned tightly against the cushion.

On the map panel in her hand, the red light bar representing the location of the raft was visibly moving and rotating irregularly on the map after she zoomed in on the map.

Although the raft will be fine, such shock will have a great impact on the plantation and breeding house.

She didn't think for too long and quickly chose a body of water to the north, ready to rush there before the second wave of tsunami hit from the north.

After the navigation was confirmed, the raft quickly began to dive automatically. After reaching a certain depth, it broke through the waves at a maximum speed of 100 and headed north.

Because the raft began to drift, the force of resistance to the huge waves and whirlpools increased, and the raft was shaken more violently at first, but soon, as the raft gradually left the vicinity of Zhangcheng and left the waters of the Beidi Plateau, the shaking gradually weakened.

**

An hour later, although the surrounding waters were still restless, they were relatively calm compared to the terrifying whirlpools that had occurred before.

Inside the shelter, the members of the two teams sitting in different corners still looked pale. Even though the bumpy feeling had disappeared, they still didn't dare to move for a while.

Feng Lu looked at the panel that reappeared in front of him for a while, and after confirming that no one else around him could see the panel, he put it away again.

He really didn't expect that he would become a person with super powers.

He lowered his eyes and reached out to pick up a piece of paper that had been thrown on the floor beside him.

It was a very ordinary white paper with instructions for entering the shelter written on it in colored pens. His eyes trembled slightly and his gaze slowly fell on the last line of words. Looking at the words "free drinking water is provided", his heart, which had been in a state of tension since entering the shelter, finally settled down.

For a moment, inexplicable and complex emotions surged in his heart, a mixture of emotion and nervousness. He looked up at several brothers in his team, wanting to speak up to gain more verification but didn't know where to start.

During those months, he took that small raft many times and looked at the paper the other party had posted on the glass balcony countless times. The handwriting on both papers was exactly the same.

The owner of the raft, the supernatural person who had helped many people by ferrying them for free on the Northern Plateau for several months, never showed up until the day he left. Later, every time he took a boat, he would occasionally think of the raft and the people in the cabin.

Sometimes even he himself feels puzzled. Why does he always think of someone he has never met?

Is it because you never got the answer you wanted and felt regretful that you keep thinking about it?

He remembered again the female voice that angrily asked them to get on the boat quickly. It was a very young voice. Could she be the owner of the raft a few months ago?

So, it’s a girl?
