Chapter 89 Boundary Line

In her memory, until the day she picked up the drifting bottle and until she went to bed that night, Little Turtle Country had always been fine. There had been no giant tsunami, and half of the land had not been submerged. And she had never been on the podium, let alone accepting an award speech.

If there was nothing wrong with Lu Zheng and Chen Fa's memory fragments, then there was something wrong with her memory.

She also... lost her memory!?

When Shu Fu realized this, she was completely numb. It was as if there was a huge noise exploding next to her ear, making her eardrums buzz, as if she was in a nightmare in an instant.

The fourth bug...is herself?

No, if we follow the sequence, this BUG has already existed on the day she awakened in Suicheng, but she was in the bureau and had no idea of ​​the existence of this BUG!

She herself is the first bug!

However, the news that was like a storm to her was just an ordinary thing to Chen Fa.

"You probably haven't found the related memory fragments yet. According to Lu Zheng, you should be a celebrity in that world. It's very likely that I have seen you before. Of course, it's also possible that we are in different circles and I have never seen you before..." Chen Fa's idea works fine when applied to Lu Zheng.

They still call their native world "that world" because they still don't have enough information to confirm which world they really belong to. Shu Fu didn't correct them. With incomplete memory fragments, her unilateral definition of them might cause them cognitive misunderstanding.

After all, the situations were different, and she couldn't be 100% sure of their affiliation, so she didn't reveal too much information to interfere.

Therefore, among the three people, only she herself knows that her memory is complete. It is her entire life journey since she can remember. How could there be fragments of memory that she has not recovered?

The next day, there was moderate rain, not too strong wind, and no hail. It certainly couldn't be compared with yesterday, but looking at the overall picture, it was indeed pretty good weather in recent times.

When Lu Ce got on the bus, he couldn't help crying, but he felt that he had grown up and didn't want others to see his tears, so he raised his face to the rain while crying, letting the rain and tears mix, so that no one could tell that he was actually crying.

The night before, Shu Fu gave Chen Fa a kerosene stove and 10 barrels of special oil, and asked her to put the kerosene stove in the raft cabin and put the special oil in the backpack.

In fact, she wanted to give it to her when they asked about cold-weather supplies before, but she had always refused to accept it, saying that she had collected a lot of dry wood and put two iron buckets in the hut, so they could burn firewood for heating if the temperature really dropped.

But that stove was not as convenient as a kerosene stove, not to mention that a kerosene stove with a cover could be used to cook directly. Seeing that she refused to take it, Shu Fu had no choice but to take out another kerosene stove, saying that she had bought two at the beginning, and that her house needed insulation, so she basically didn't need this one.

"If you really didn't need it, you wouldn't have bought it, and you bought two at once." Chen Fa said.

"Just keep it - think of it as my birthday present to you." This was what she had thought of long ago, but she was afraid that she would not accept it.

She received the gift that Chen Fa gave her yesterday at noon. It was a peace charm in a small sachet. No one knew where she found it in this apocalypse.

The sachet was a light mint color, and even with the amulet inside, it was only a thin, small piece, with no pendant on it, and was only tied with a black leather string. The length of the leather string was long enough to hang the sachet around the neck and keep the amulet close to the body.

Chen Fa hung it up for her personally and told her to wear it so that she would be safe.

She now had the opportunity to use the excuse of offering the kerosene stove as a gift to get the other party to accept it.

"Actually, I have a bad feeling about this winter..." Although she did not include the low temperature in her outline, the natural disasters in this world are unpredictable and she has no way of judging. She also does not know what kind of disaster this planet will face.

In addition, she also forced her to pack ten 20-jin bags of rice, which were the rice she had stockpiled in Suicheng. She had only used two of the 20 bags of rice so far, and these two bags were used to make cooked rice and fried rice in advance.

Because every time she stocked up on food, she would pack rice. In addition, she had all kinds of noodles, steamed buns, and bread in her space. She basically didn't eat rice for her meals. She also won two 50-kilogram bags of rice in a lottery. So even if she gave Chen Fa 10 bags, there would be enough left.

These ten bags of rice were the reserve food she left for Chen Fa. The other party always said that he could go to a safe city to continue looking for food, but now nearly half of Hua Country's land has been flooded. At this time, all the safe cities must be overcrowded. The soaring prices are secondary. The only concern is that there will be no demand for food.

With these ten bags of rice, even if I'm really penniless, I can still survive for a while by eating only white rice.

She hopes that everyone can stay alive and well until the next time they meet.

Fortunately, both sides now have satellite phones, so the connection is not cut off like before.

Lu Zhenged Lu Ce, who had deliberately gotten wet in the rain, into the back seat of the jeep, walked around the rear of the car and came to Shu Fu. He reached out and gently held her arm, pulled up the sleeve of her raincoat, and then tied a light blue bracelet around her wrist.

"What is this?" Shu Fu looked down. The rope had a pattern on it. The pattern was pretty, but the braiding was a little uneven. "Did you braid it?"

"Well, I made it. It was my first time and I wasn't very skilled. I worked on it for a few days and wanted to give it to you yesterday..." He answered with his eyelids drooping as he carefully tied the knot for her. "The ones above are peace knots, which can keep you safe."

"You actually believe this?" Shu Fu looked at the other person's slender fingers, and imagined him concentrating on weaving this bracelet under the light. Suddenly, she felt that the scene was a little unimaginable...

He looked up at her.

"Wear it, wear it, wear it!" Shu Fu said immediately, "I will definitely wear it well as it will keep me safe!" As she said that, she looked down at her wrist again.

Very good, there is a bracelet on the left wrist, a safety bracelet on the right wrist, and a safety charm sachet hanging around the neck. It can be said that the green dragon is on the left, the white tiger is on the right, the old cow is at the waist, and the dragon head is on the chest - oh no! Shu Fu shook her head, getting rid of some strange images in her mind.

Lu Zheng pulled down the sleeves of her raincoat again, but did not let go immediately: "Also, don't be stubborn, and don't think you will bother us. If you need help, call me immediately... us. Chen Fa said that compared to us, you are more like a backward compatible manager. A manager should act like a manager. When you need me, don't worry and use me well."

Shu Fu was amused by the word "use" and nodded at him: "Okay, I'll call you when I need you, and I'll make good use of it. So before we meet next time, you have to live well too."

Lu Zheng also laughed. Before leaving, he also hoped to leave her with a smile instead of heaviness.

Shu Fu sent Lu Zheng to the car, then turned around and hugged Chen Fa and Chen Yuezhen. On the other side of the pickup truck, other people behind the car window were also waving goodbye to her. Xu Tingfeng and the others didn't know if they would have the chance to meet again.

Leaving without saying goodbye is sad, but leaving face to face is equally sad.

Shu Fu returned to the raft, took off her raincoat, and stood under the eaves, watching the rear ends of the jeeps and pickup trucks disappear one by one among the foothills.

After seeing her companions off, she was the only raft left on the empty lake again, and silence returned to the world.

Her bracelet was also silent. She had been staying in this lake for more than a month, and the last mission of the Level 4 raft had not yet arrived. Fortunately, the hut on the slope had been renovated. She could hide in the hut for four hours a day when she couldn't use the raft to avoid excessive consumption of the delay card.

Only then did she realize that the one-week raft extension card she had drawn from the previous three consecutive draws was actually very useful. As expected, all the items that came out of the lottery wheel were useless.

Although a night had passed, the shock she felt from the message in Lu Zheng's memory fragments last night still remained.

As a result, she suffered from insomnia for the first time today. She woke up before five in the morning. When she lay in bed with her eyes open, her mind was very clear and she didn't feel sleepy at all.

As the night passed, my thoughts became clearer.

There are actually two possibilities for the current situation.

First, they came from different time points in the same world, that is, the people who came into this world had different time points before traveling through time. Chen Fa and Lu Zheng's time points should be later than her, so they knew some things that had not happened at her time point.

The second guess was even more terrifying. The problem was with her. She really had lost her memory, and it wasn't just scattered fragments, but a whole section of memory. Because from her perspective, her timeline in the native world was complete. Before yesterday, she had never even doubted that there was anything wrong with her memory.

Therefore, if this speculation comes true, it means that a whole section of her memory has been completely cut off. The duration of this memory may be several months, or it may be one or two years... or even longer.

In order to verify which of these two guesses is true, she needs to meet more awakened people and analyze the specific details from the memory fragments of different people.

Simply put, you have to wait until the level 5 raft progress bar starts.

So after going around in circles, she was back to square one. But missions are something that can't be rushed. Fortunately, during the process of upgrading the raft to level 4, she met her companions and learned a little bit about the situation, so she didn't end up with nothing and be completely confused.

Shu Fu stood under the eaves for a moment, then opened the raft's protective cover, went out the back door in slippers, and went up to the roof terrace.

The protective cover perfectly isolated the rain. She stretched her arms towards the lake, took out a mop, mopped up the water on the terrace, and squeezed the water into the lake below. Then she placed a single sofa and a small dining table covered with a red and white checkered tablecloth on the terrace.

Today she planned to have a Chinese breakfast. She would spend more than ten minutes every day organizing the shelves in the space. She would put the food that had been opened or half-eaten into the leftmost row of grids, and fill the empty space at the back with the unopened take-away boxes that were originally stacked in other places.

Not to mention the cooked food that was stockpiled in Louyun City, there were still a lot of foods left from the various foods that were stockpiled in Suicheng Food City and various supermarkets and restaurants, especially the fresh fish and meat that had not yet been processed.

So at this moment, Shu Fu looked at the full shelves in the space and started to choose breakfast.

A bowl of hot spicy soup, a box of crab meat soup dumplings, a tea egg, and a crispy fried dough stick.

There were only four crab soup dumplings in a box, and the spicy soup wasn't a big portion either, but these were just enough for her to finish.

The rain fell on the protective shield, and the sound of the rain weakened a lot, only emitting fine white noise. Shu Fu took out her tablet and played the variety show that she had been watching but never finished. She watched this variety show on and off for a long time, and now she has finally watched the third season, but there are still seven seasons to go. She feels that she can watch until the raft is upgraded to level 5.

The laughter in the variety show diluted the slight sadness of parting. In just the time it took to have breakfast, Shu Fu's mind and body were already perfectly immersed in a task-free life of lying down.

Sleep until you wake up naturally in the morning. If you wake up early, eat breakfast and then have lunch at noon. If you wake up late, have brunch directly, and the meal content will be richer.

If you feel sleepy in the afternoon, you can play soothing music and take a nap on the cushions by the floor-to-ceiling window, or on the sofa, or open the protective cover and put out a single folding sofa under the eaves or even on the terrace.

In the afternoon, she usually listens to music or watches TV series while washing and chopping in the small kitchen. She washes, cuts and marinates vegetables or fresh poultry and river fish bit by bit. After processing them into semi-finished products, she puts the portions into fresh-keeping bags and then stores them in the storage rack in the space, so that she can take them out and cook them directly next time she wants to eat her own dishes.

Of course, sometimes she would directly stew a big pot of braised pork, or a big pot of lamb ribs, or a big pot of curry potato chicken... put them into the space while they are hot, and just take out a bowl when she wants to eat.

After dinner, she usually exercises for a while, practicing on the rowing machine for half an hour, or practicing the fighting moves taught by Han Lan and Chen Yuezhen.

Most of the time, she goes to bed around 11 o'clock at night. Occasionally, when she gets addicted to watching TV series or reading novels, she will stay up all night. Anyway, she has plenty of time and can allow herself to indulge herself a little.

Every day was like the past, with a few minor differences. Because she, Chen Faluze and the other two had satellite phones, they would send messages to each other almost every day to let each other know they were safe.

This type of message is not WeChat, and does not have voice or video. Pictures can be sent, but not only is the speed slow, the pictures will also be automatically compressed and become blurry, so it's the same as not sending them at all. So they basically communicate through text, and do not require the other party to reply immediately. After all, they cannot guarantee a timely reply.

Compared to communication, it is more like a diary that can be seen by both parties, sharing each other's lives and letting the other party know that they are still alive.

Shu Fu: I made a big pot of seafood today. It tasted great. I left a portion for each of you.

Chen Fa: I walked 120 kilometers today, of which more than 80 kilometers were detours, and the mountain road collapsed again. When I was tired, I took out milk tea and suddenly felt that I could drive another 120 kilometers.

Lu Zheng: We finally saw the first rescue station. Although it is very small, for those fleeing south, as long as they can get here, they have found hope for survival.

Shu Fu: I haven't weighed myself in a long time. Today I saw that I have gained four pounds…

Chen Fa: There were no other survivors nearby today. We released the raft cabin. It was raining heavily outside. My grandmother and I were eating hot preserved egg, lean meat, porridge and hotpot beef and mutton lung slices in the cabin.

卢策：法法姐今天煮了一锅螺蛳粉给大家当早餐，吃饭的时候许杰褚那个蠢家伙感动哭了，说想和他大哥一起入赘到陈家，这样说不定他也能进法法姐的木筏小屋了，结果被许大哥揍了一顿，哈哈哈！法法姐表情很酷的回答说，螺蛳粉是你的，要入赘也是入赘舒家，许杰褚还不老实，居然觉得自己可以同时入赘两家，一三五陈家，二四六舒家，周日休息……哈哈哈哈！结果被我大哥揍了哈哈哈……

Lu Zheng: It's raining heavily, so we found a place to stay overnight. Xu Tingfeng and the other six don't have to sleep in the car today. Are you doing well by yourself?

…

Even when sending messages, it can be seen that Lu Ce is a chatterbox.

In addition to repairing the cottage on the slope, a fireplace was installed in the living room on the first floor. While the lake water level had not yet flooded the place, Shu Fu would pack up the raft and spend four hours there every day.

When the weather is good, she can just put on a raincoat and rain boots and get across. After the water level floods the lake shore, the wetland area becomes larger. Usually, after walking such a distance, the rain boots will be covered with mud. She needs to change shoes when entering the cabin, otherwise she will step on mud everywhere. She also has to clean her rain boots after returning to the raft.

If the weather gets bad, she turns on her protective shield and rushes over as fast as she can.

However, weather conditions are getting worse and heavy rains have become the norm, causing lake levels to rise rapidly.

Formed streams gradually appeared among the slopes and valleys of the surrounding mountains, flowing into the lake from all directions along the slopes like small waterfalls. The original snow on the peaks of the distant mountains faded so much that it was almost invisible. It was estimated that part of these streams was snow water melted by heavy rains.

On the eleventh day after Chen Falu Zheng and the others left, she received a new notice from the military academy shelter on the radio, which was a notice to call on all nearby survivors who could receive the signal.

After several months of hard work, batches of people took the abundant supplies dropped from the air and drove south to seek refuge. Now the last few batches of people are about to evacuate from the shelter, and the remaining troops will also be transferred with the last batch of people.

If any survivors nearby still want to move with the team, they must rush to the military academy shelter within these last three days.

This is the southern suburbs of Youcheng. In addition to the military academy, there are also some homestay buildings hidden in the mountains. As long as the terrain is high, there are supply stocks and generators, they can hide and persevere.

At the same time, these people will not be willing to integrate into the larger group because they have supplies in stock, and will never show up until the supplies are used up.

Now, the reason why the shelter issued this notice is that drones have detected that the water level in the upper reaches of Qinghe River is rising sharply, and in the area of terrain difference in the river channel in the eastern suburbs of Youcheng, the former dam gap is gradually disappearing in the surging waves.

I believe that in another two to three days, the terrain difference will completely disappear, and large tracts of land on both sides of the Dongjiao River will become water wetlands.

The amphibious man-eating jumping fish that likes to swim upstream in the Qing River may appear in Youcheng at any time afterwards.

It is currently unknown whether the amphibious man-eating jumping fish will spread to the southern suburbs by then, but once they land in Youcheng, the urban area will definitely fall. The terrain there is low, and when the troops went to search for supplies regularly before, they would go to the river to observe the position of the waterline.

The last time I went there was a week ago, and even the waterfront commercial street, which was originally a long distance away from the river, had started to accumulate water.

Once a river overflows, water does not only come from the river surface, but the most important thing is the sewers. The sewers are interconnected under the city. When water accumulates in the sewers and flows back up, even low-lying areas in the urban area far away from the river will begin to accumulate water.

Yucheng will fall soon.

That's why the shelter was able to evacuate all the remaining people within three days.

Shu Fu didn't know whether there were any survivors hiding nearby, nor did he know whether those survivors had received this message, and whether they would follow the advice and follow the main force south after hearing the message.

The mountain lake where she was had always been very quiet, with nothing but heavy rain every day. Compared to when she had just landed in the Hexi town, the weather here was getting worse and worse. It seemed that all the rain in the northern plateau for hundreds of years had fallen in this month.

On the sixth day after she received the news that the shelter was evacuated southward, the bracelet that had been silent for more than two months finally vibrated.

She looked down and saw two icons flashing at the same time, one was the map panel and the other was the notebook icon.

The last mission is finally here!
