Chapter 93 Boundary Line

Experiment: After opening the raft's protective shield, let the raft dive 100 meters underwater, and then try to use the automatic water fishing rod.

The result was actually successful. The metal basket was thrown successfully, easily passing through the protective shield and heading towards the underwater city buildings.

Shu Fu lay on the cushion next to the triangular glass wall. From this position she could clearly see the situation of the automatic water fishing rod. She read a book under the lamp. About 20 minutes later, there was movement in the water outside.

She thought it was a catch, but when she looked up, she saw a school of fish passing by. They looked like sea fish and looked quite normal. They did not stay around the raft for long and swam past quickly.

Ten minutes later, the roller of the fishing rod began to turn. A moment later, the metal basket at the other end of the thin cable passed through the protective cover again, returned to the raft, and automatically entered the metal box. The "one-click disinfection" button lit up.

Shu Fu immediately stood up, opened the glass door, carefully approached the automatic water fishing rod, and pressed the "disinfection" button.

After more than ten seconds, the metal box opened and a metal basket slid out, revealing a small safe inside.

Good news: The automatic water fishing rod can be used normally when sneaking underwater, which means that she can combine the side water map, zoom in to view the underwater buildings, roughly guess where the buildings were originally, and then selectively use the automatic water fishing rod.

Bad news: This time we got a safe that can't be opened...

The safe was waterproof, fireproof and pry-proof. No matter what was inside, it was definitely not soaked in water. It was a pity that she couldn't open it. After thinking about it, she decided to temporarily put it into the space, then cast the fishing rod again and called up the map panel at the same time.

On the map panel, the same stealth operation diagram as that on the function screen appeared.

This was something she had just discovered today. After the raft was upgraded to level 4, some functions that were not convenient before became convenient. The map panel originally only had a water map, which could only set the destination and display the waterway information, but could not manually adjust the direction of the raft in real time.

But now the map panel shows three functions: "anchoring, drifting, and stealth". When she wants to start the raft in any way, she can directly call out the map panel and operate it remotely.

Moreover, she noticed that the farthest distance the raft could be placed this time was within 100 meters. She guessed that even if she stood on the shore or on another raft, she could use the map panel to control the direction of the raft within a radius of 100 meters.

To her, it felt a bit like a remote-controlled boat.

Shu Fu controlled the raft to sneak on the map tablet while constantly checking the water map on the side, and finally stopped in an area with many dark green icons.

This used to be Yuncheng's commercial district. The tallest building in Yuncheng was right here. The place where she was sneaking and parking was near that building. If it were in the past, her current position would be like floating in the air hundreds of meters high, looking at the high-rise buildings opposite from afar.

Shu Fu looked at the dark buildings in the water through the protective cover of the raft. He had a very strange feeling, one of depression and emotion, sadness and wonder.

In addition to commercial office buildings, large shopping malls, food courts, and supermarkets are also in this area. She wants to try what she can gain here.

However, 30 minutes later, she was stunned by the two baskets of tools she had collected: electric screwdrivers, cutters, high-powered drills, goggles, electric saws, electric planers...

What does this mean? Is there a tool store down there?

Or did he know that she couldn't open the safe and sent her the tools?

Shu Fu sighed and let the raft float again.

After returning to the surface, she looked at the pile of tools again. After "one-click disinfection", each tool was clean without any water stains or rust. She had equipped them with an electric card, so these tools could be used directly even without being plugged in.

She thought about it and decided, why not give it a try?

She took out the safe again, placed it on the deck, and then chose between the cutter and the electric drill.

The cutting machine was too powerful, and she didn't control her strength well, so she cut herself. It was safer to use an electric drill. Shu Fu put on goggles, found a pair of thick work gloves from the space, and then pressed the switch to idle the electric drill. She found that the sound was too loud, so she turned off the electric drill and found a pair of earplugs to put on.

She turned on the electric drill again and drilled into the two mounting holes on the back of the safe on the deck. Sparks flew everywhere. The efficiency of the electric drill was far beyond her imagination. Several holes were drilled in the safe quickly, forming a large hole. She put the safe in the right position, inserted a screwdriver into the hole, and moved the electromagnet inside. The door of the safe opened immediately.

Sure enough, everything inside was fine, with no water seeping in. There was a box of gold bars and a file bag inside.

The gold bar was very large and heavy, estimated to be about two kilograms, or 1,000 grams. In peacetime, such a gold bar could be sold for more than 600,000 yuan. There were four gold bars in the box, and in the document bag were several property certificates, which seemed to be large flats in excellent locations, as well as a commercial store.

In the past, the value of this file bag was far more than gold, and any apartment was the goal that people would strive for their whole lives. But now, the entire Yuncheng has sunk to the bottom of the water, and all the valuable buildings, apartments and shops have become meaningless underwater ruins...

Shu Fu sighed, put the gold into the space, put the property certificates back into the document bag, and pushed them back into the water together with the safe.

Although the triangular house lacks eaves and terraces to sit and watch the rain, people always like novelties, and the new type of house itself is very attractive to Shu Fu. In addition, the upper bedroom of the triangular house is located at the front of the house, which means it is completely supported by the large triangular glass wall. The view from the bedroom is better than the original small staggered level, so she likes it very much.

In the past three days, there have been continuous heavy rains in the waters of Yuncheng, with occasional lightning and thunder, huge waves on the water surface, and one bad weather after another.

Fortunately, the raft's protective shield would automatically open in the event of an extreme natural disaster, so she didn't have to pay attention to the weather all the time. But after a few days, she found that the shield was rarely triggered by bad weather.

In the past few days, there have been not only thunderstorms and hurricanes, but also hail as big as eggs. The two walls of the triangular house are made of pure glass. She thought that the protective shield would be triggered when the hail fell, but it was not.

She remembered that after the Drifting Island House was upgraded to level 4, the sturdiness of the raft had been upgraded to a high level, and the walls and floors of the house seemed to have undergone a qualitative leap. In other words, it was not that the weather conditions were not bad enough, but that the defense capabilities of the Drifting Island House itself had been enhanced.

No wonder this "Jungle Fresh Triangle House" requires a level 4 raft to be used. After level 4, the sturdiness of the entire raft area including the drifting island house has been upgraded to a high level, and even natural disasters that used to require the opening of a protective shield to resist can now be faced directly.

In fact, this also saves her time in using the protective shield.

Although she has accumulated a lot of protective shield time now, it will be consumed very quickly when she actually uses it, because she does not intend to stay in the waters of Yuncheng only.

During the months she had been in the Beidi Plateau, she discovered that the original water map had expanded a lot because the water level had been rising. She compared it with the electronic map and found that not only Louyun City, but the entire Muchou Province had been flooded. The same was true for Xiren Province, which was located between Louyun City and Yuncheng. The entire area had become an ocean.

These areas were originally where she could move freely, so when the water level rose, the area where the raft could drift also expanded.

The northern limit is the Yuncheng area, the eastern limit is the edge of the province where Suicheng is located, and because no missions have been carried out in the south, the activity range is still the original Suilou waterway.

The farthest expansion is to the west, because the entire Muzhou Province is gone. As shown on the map, the boundary line of the water area map is very close to Xiangzhou Province to the west of Muzhou Province. If you zoom in and see, it is only one line away from Guancheng County in the southeast corner of Xiangzhou Province.

Counting the four directions of east, south, west and north, the area where she can move freely is almost equal to one-fifth of the land of Hua State, not counting the Qinghe River Basin in the Northern Plateau.

She planned to take advantage of the upcoming Level 5 raft mission to drift across the entire area. Anyway, all the time-delay cards she had now would allow her to drift on the water for six and a half months without interruption, which was enough to take her anywhere.

She didn't need to rack her brains to find land - it might also be because there was almost no land in these waters, so she kept drawing the delay card in these two draws.

Sure enough, no lottery draw is invalid when the bracelet is released.

On September 14, the day before she was about to leave Yuncheng, she received news from Chen Fa: After twenty-five days of twists and turns along the way, she and Lu Zheng finally arrived safely in Pengcheng, Xiangzhou Province with all their people.

Xiangzhou Province is very large, almost twice the size of Muzhou Province, and Pengcheng is located to the west of Xiangzhou Province, very close to Xizhou Province. Their next plan is to join the migration and continue to move towards Xizhou Province.

As long as you go to a city with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, you will be completely safe.

The situation in Xiangzhou Province is different from that in the northern plateau. There are no particularly large rivers in the province, so there will be no flood disasters caused by river overflow, so the entire province is still relatively safe. However, hailstorms have recently damaged a large number of plantations and breeding plants, resulting in the loss of a large number of supplies, making the already soaring prices even worse.

The same is true for Pengcheng. The lowest altitude is more than 1,500 meters, and most of the surrounding mountains are above 2,000 meters. It is not only close to Xizhou Province, but also one of the higher altitude areas in the entire Xiangzhou Province. Refugees and people who want to move west have poured in like a tide, making this place overcrowded and chaotic.

Now that nearly one-third of Huaguo's land has been lost, it is impossible for safe cities to set up fences like Louyun City did before, and to safely and effectively accommodate refugees in different areas. The number of refugees is too large. The troops have to respond to disasters, rescue people everywhere, support the southwest border, and stop large numbers of foreign refugees from entering the country illegally, whether violently or non-violently...

They do not have the energy to carry out detailed management, and forcibly dividing areas and imposing traffic restrictions will make the already confused people even more confused. By then, everyone will start looting and smashing things, which will only cause Xizhou Province to replicate the chaos of the Northern Plateau.

Therefore, there are no entry or travel restrictions in Pengcheng now, but if you want to continue traveling west to Xizhou Province, you must first apply for a schedule and then wait for notification. During this period, if the applicant smashes, fights, robs, kills, or burns in Pengcheng, once it is recorded, the order of moving west will be determined based on the severity of the illegal behavior.

It doesn't mean that once it is recorded, you will never be able to move west. After all, things are too chaotic now, and even if you don't want to cause trouble, trouble will come to you.

However, the more crimes they committed and the more serious their behaviors were, the later their arrival date would be. By the time everyone else had left, and the remaining people continued to make trouble and behave themselves, there would be a lot of space in the city to detain them, and they would stay here for the rest of their lives...

So Pengcheng is very chaotic, but the chaos is not as thorough as that in the northern plateau. Newcomers may need some time to adapt, mainly because it is difficult to find a place to live and to queue up to buy supplies.

In addition, drinkable clean water, electricity, and water supplies are all relatively scarce in the city, especially drinkable clean water. Normal people can only buy a little drinkable clean water allocated every day, and most people rely on drinking water effervescent disinfectant tablets to solve the drinking water problem.

These difficulties are nothing to Chen Fa and his team. The team is now full of elites who have come all the way through the line between life and death and have fought side by side. They trust each other, have strong cohesion, and are also strong in combat power.

As for supplies, there are backpack compartments so I can store a lot of them. The supplies are hidden and won't be noticed by others, so I can just keep a low profile and wait.

As for water, there is no need to worry. There is plenty of rainwater outside. You can just use a filter to filter it. There is no limit on the number of times the water purification filter can be used, and the speed of filtering water is relatively fast. Whether it is drinking water or domestic water, you can have as much as you want.

Chen Fa: ...There is internet here. Although the speed is slow and it often disconnects, at least I can use my mobile phone.

Zhang Tian's life in Sand City was not peaceful, perhaps because her life was too comfortable and she had not suffered much from disasters, so her father raised a young woman. Her mother wanted to divorce, but the real estate and car under her name were all in Suicheng, and the money she had was useless because of inflation. Her father did hide a lot of gold, and now, apart from supplies, the most useful thing was gold...

Shao Shan is also in Xiangzhou Province, but she is in Zicheng, which is quite far from us. It was originally one of the cities that were scheduled to move westward, but a thunderstorm and hailstorm caused a landslide on the most critical section of the road, and the tunnel collapsed, blocking the road. So she now plans to go to Wei County with her family. It is the nearest westward migration arrangement point to Zicheng, but once she gets there, she will have to queue up again...

I tested both of them. Zhang Tian definitely didn't awaken the golden finger. As for Wu Shaoshan, she became suspicious after I asked her a few questions. She asked me if I was reborn, or if I was Chen Fa, and asked me a series of private questions from college to verify it...

As for us, except that we could not collect and take out supplies as we pleased, and could not take out the raft to live in a comfortable little home, everything else was fine. We only went out when we needed to hide our tracks and buy supplies. With Braidhead and Dakuai in the team, others were afraid that we would rob them, so for the time being, no one dared to rob us...

Xiaofu, the days when the rain stops and the sun comes out seem to be getting fewer and fewer. In the past, no matter how heavy the rain was or how bad the weather was, there would always be two or three days in a week when the rain would stop or the sun would come out. But recently, since we had a barbecue in the southern suburbs of Youcheng, it has been almost a month, and the rain has not stopped for a single day... I don't know if it is a coincidence because we have been moving all the time, but I always feel that your previous premonition is likely to come true...

This time the message was very long, and Chen Fa sent it in several parts, as if he was writing a letter to her.

Shu Fu read it very carefully. Every word and every message from her friends were very precious to her now.

Seeing Chen Fa mention Zicheng, she thought of Liu Shuang again. Zicheng was also Liu Shuang's hometown. At the beginning of the year, she had thought of taking her with her.

Thinking of Liu Shuang, she couldn't help but think of Cheng Yu. From the news from Chen Fa, she could roughly guess what mission Cheng Yu was going to the border to carry out. It was a pity that from the Qinghe River Basin to the current waters, she was always disconnected from the Internet, and she didn't know whether the other party had seen the message she sent.

Of course, it is also possible that the other party will never see the message she sent...

The next day, Shu Fu got up very early, opened the function screen, and changed the house type of the Drifting Island House back to the original house type. The triangular house was nice, and she didn't get tired of living there, but the big triangular roof was too high, and the overall house type was a bit high-profile and eye-catching.

The original cabin is still better. It is square and simple. The first floor and the glass balcony together are not even half the height of the triangular house. From the air, it looks like an abandoned raft with no one on it.

In addition, the starting house type has front and rear eaves, a terrace and a glass balcony, more outdoor activity areas, and is low-key and practical, making it most suitable for use when going out for fun.

The raft's protective cover was opened, and then the surrounding light and shadow changed for a moment. The drifting island house had returned to its original state. Shu Fu walked out of the door, took out the camping tables, chairs and shoe cabinets and put them in place again, then closed the protective cover and set Suicheng as the destination on the map panel.

A black route appears and the navigation data appears: [865/10:47:45].

This data reduced the distance by nearly half compared to when she originally traveled from the Cave Restaurant via Louyun City to Yuncheng, and the time required was even less.

First, because the maximum speed of the raft drifting is faster than before, and second, because the water map has changed after the water level rose, there is no need to take a detour from Yuncheng to Suicheng. Those hills and hills that once emerged from the water and survived have disappeared completely, so this time the raft went directly from the north to the southeast in a straight line.

Shu Fu was not in a hurry and felt that 80 was a bit faster, so he finally adjusted the drifting speed to 40. The data was immediately refreshed: [865/21:36:09].

It’s okay, spend a day and go back to Suicheng to take a look.
