Chapter 24: Road robbery

Captain Huang had orders to stay and rescue, so he used a satellite phone to call the rescue department, who told him that if the others were unwilling to leave, they could just save the two young girls.

After Captain Huang got the response, he immediately said, "If you all don't want to leave, then this is the only way. I will take these two girls and leave first."

"Wait, there are us too!"

Qu Yanbai carried the luggage and took Grandma Qu onto the yacht.

Grandma Qu was holding a baby in her arms, and Qian Xinran was following behind her. She looked pale, obviously having just given birth. Now she dragged her weak body onto the yacht.

Grandma Qu looked at the young child in her arms and said, "If we stay here, we will die. Maybe we can have a chance of survival if we get on the yacht."

Everyone looked at each other, thought about it, and felt the same way. Some brave ones got on the yacht, and soon the yacht was full.

Captain Huang led the first group of survivors to the shelter.

Qin Muxue's original idea was to drive the yacht in the space and take the team away from here, but now the situation has changed suddenly, so she plans to go to the shelter first to check the situation.

The yacht sped through the flood and took them to the center of the city's river.

This place is the only way to the shelter, but not everyone can enter the shelter. Instead, you have to draw lots.

After going through layers of screening, the news didn't even have time to reach rural areas before the disaster had already happened.

Qin Muxue discovered this during her communication with the captain of the rescue team.

It was different from their previous life. In their previous life, they were able to enter the shelter only after they bribed Qin Muxue with the gold left by her mother. They did not hear about drawing lots at all.

Just when they thought they could reach the shelter safely, they met a group of uninvited guests on the way.

It turned out that there were still some survivors in the city, but more than half of the city had been submerged by the flood. Not to mention supplies, they could hardly move.

They could only set up some roadblocks in shallow waters, so that people passing by could take the opportunity to rob some supplies.

This group of people consisted of several young people with colorful hair. When they saw the yacht, their eyes lit up.

As long as they have a yacht as a means of transportation, they can leave this hellhole and go to other places to look for supplies.

Several people were holding machetes that they got from somewhere and blocking the crowd's way.

One of the young men with dyed red hair shouted, "If you have supplies, leave them here!"

The captain and the soldiers were all wearing civilian clothes, so he was not on guard and thought it was an ordinary yacht that could be robbed.

Seeing that Wu Yong was hiding something in his hand, Hongmao wanted to snatch it away, but since it was left for the child to nourish his body, he hid it on his chest and refused to take it out.

Seeing this, Hongmao was about to take action, but Wu You took the egg from his father and handed it to him with both hands, "Big brother, my father is ignorant, this is for you to eat."

Red Hair was finally attracted by the eggs. He hadn't eaten eggs for a long time.

"What good stuff!" Red Hair was hungry, and eating two in one breath was not enough. When his other accomplices saw this, they also started to grab the food. They seemed to be so hungry that they had lost their minds.

"Whatever food you have, you'd better take it all out, don't wait for me to hurt you!"

Under the threat of Red Hair, everyone took out their remaining food.

After looting the food brought by everyone, Red Hair's eyes suddenly lit up and he saw a German Shepherd.

"We can have dog meat hotpot tonight."

Qin Muxue frowned. What she hated most was someone setting their sights on her dog.

A yellow-haired man looked at a girl of similar age to him, with a cold expression on his face without any makeup, and her appearance just suited his aesthetic taste.

He hadn't satisfied his physical needs for a long time, and he couldn't help feeling a little itchy.

He said without hesitation: "Boss, can I take this woman to solve this problem?"

Seeing this, Ding Manman wanted to stop her, but was held down by Qin Muxue, "Shh, don't talk."

"But..." Ding Manman was extremely nervous. She looked at Qin Muxue,

"Listen to me, it's okay, just stay by Qu Yanbai's side."

The red-haired man looked at the yellow-haired man's eager look and snorted coldly, "The word lechery is like a knife hanging over your head. You still haven't behaved properly. Go and deal with it cleanly!"

After getting permission, Huangmao excitedly pulled Qin Muxue to an old house nearby, where the fourth floor had not yet been flooded.

Ding Manman winked at Qu Yanbai, but the other party shook his head calmly. If it were Qin Muxue, she would definitely have a way to deal with that weakling, so she didn't have to worry at all. What they needed now was to find an opportunity to deal with these young men with knives.

Qin Muxue sat obediently on the dirty bed, her fair face still expressionless, while the yellow-haired man began to take off his pants impatiently, "You stinky bitch, I'll let you enjoy it later."

He had only taken off half of his pants when he felt a flying knife slash past his ear, causing a few strands of hair to fall off. His legs trembled, and Qin Muxue looked at him with a half-smile, "Why, do you want to continue taking off your pants?"

"You, you, you...who are you?" As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a chill and a sharp pain under his body, and his life force fell off.

"Help, help." The yellow-haired man covered his lower body and rolled on the ground. The severe pain made him feel like he was living a life worse than death.

Qin Muxue simply ignored him, wiped her hands and left the room.

There is no need for her to take action at this time. If Huangmao is injured and does not receive treatment, he will die soon.

She didn't waste any more time and returned to the yacht, only to find it was in chaos and Ding Manman was running towards her in panic.

The rescue team leader's hand had already reached to his waist.

Baozhu jumped up and bit the yellow-haired man's hand holding the knife.

While no one was paying attention, the captain winked at the other two soldiers on the boat, and the two soldiers and Qu Yanbai acted quickly to subdue the young men with machetes.

After all, the young people were just a group of ordinary people who had not received any training, while the soldiers were well-trained and they subdued the thugs without even taking out their guns.

Seeing that something was wrong, Red Hair gritted his teeth and jumped into the water.

A soldier named Xiao Jiang was about to chase after them, but the captain said, "Don't go. It's dangerous in the water. It's more important to save your own life."

The captain had tied the hands of the remaining few who had not had time to escape and threw them on the roof of the old house. "I hope you will take care of yourself."

Captain Huang remained unmoved despite the group of young people shouting behind him.

The yacht continued to move forward. A young woman asked weakly, "Captain, are you just going to leave them there? They will die."

Captain Huang glanced at her and said, "There are limited seats on the ship. If you can't stand it, you can give him a seat."

The young woman immediately fell silent and sat weakly in her seat, pretending to look around.

A white-haired old man sighed, "Young people nowadays, why don't they do something good instead of robbing people."

Qu Yanbai raised his eyes and said, "If they don't rob, they will starve to death. It's nothing more than the law of the jungle. They did nothing wrong. The only mistake is that they are not strong enough."

Grandma Qu nudged Qu Yanbai with her elbow and said, "Yanbai, stop talking."

Ding Manman saw Qin Muxue coming back safe and sound, and quickly held her hand, "Xiaoxue, are you okay?"

Qin Muxue shook her head. It was easy to deal with those minions. What she feared most was fighting with those people with special powers.

Captain Huang felt that the sound of the yacht's engine was not right.

After an inspection, they found that the giant python had not only bitten through the fuel tank, but also damaged a part of the engine. Now the yacht can no longer reach the shelter. If this continues, everyone on the boat will fall into the water.

He quickly took a telescope to observe the surrounding environment and drove the yacht to a supermarket.

"Everyone go up first. There is something wrong with the yacht and we need to repair it. I have just contacted another yacht via radio and they will be back to rescue us soon."

Everyone was complaining, "Sure enough, we shouldn't have boarded the ship. We should have stayed in Taoyuan Village. How could we have encountered such a thing?"

"If you stay there, you will be drowned by the flood sooner or later. What's the difference? It's just the difference between dying sooner or later."

They looked all the way and saw the miserable scene of the city submerged by the flood. They were already feeling uneasy, and then they encountered young people robbing. Several older people were shocked and have not yet recovered.

Originally everyone was standing outside watching, but as it got darker, everyone had no choice but to walk into the supermarket and find a corner to rest.

The white-haired old man asked Captain Huang, "When will the other yacht come over?"

Captain Huang said nothing, but his face looked heavy.

Seeing this, Qin Muxue thought that something bad must have happened again, and it was actually very difficult to drive along the way.

Unknown creatures in the water, occasional violent storms, and human factors.

Qu Yanbai took out his treasured cigarettes and said, "Captain Huang, is there any bad news?"

Captain Huang took the cigarette, sighed, pulled him aside, and whispered, "The radio signal has disappeared, and now we don't know whether they are alive or dead. We can only stay here for a while. We will go to the supermarket with two soldiers to search for supplies. Xiaoqu, you are from the same village as them, and you are relatively stable. Help me calm those villagers first."

Qu Yanbai knew that this meant they would have to stay here for a while until they could contact rescue via radio.

"good."

Captain Huang took two soldiers to the supermarket to search for supplies. Several villagers volunteered to go too, actually wanting to be the first to get the most out of it.

Qin Muxue didn't want to take any risks now, so she found a messy little warehouse on the fourth floor of the supermarket, padded the ground with cardboard boxes, and brought Manman, Grandma Qu, Qu Yanbai, Qian Xinran and the baby, and Baozhu Zhenzhu to this place.

Qin Muxue reminded him, "You should change the medicine."

This time, Qin Muxue did not change the dressing for him personally. Instead, she directed Manman to change the dressing for him, mainly because she wanted Manman to learn some knowledge in this area.

Manman looked at the hideous scar on Qu Yanbai's arm and asked, "It must have been very painful at that time, right?"

Qu Yanbai smiled bitterly and said: "This is a sign of honor. I was injured while trying to save your best friend."

At this moment, Manman had a strange feeling in her heart. She calmed her thoughts and continued to change the medicine for Qu Yanbai.

The baby next to her suddenly started crying loudly. Qian Xinran held the child, but he continued to cry and refused to stop. Qin Muxue walked over to her and said, "Let me try!"

The moment he hugged the baby, he stopped crying instantly and instead looked at Qin Muxue with a dark look.

"This child is destined to be with you. You delivered him. He probably knows that you are his savior."

"He's probably hungry."

Qin Muxue remembered that the baby needed to drink milk about once every three or four hours, so Qian Xinran quickly took out the thermos, the bottle and the milk powder and prepared them. As soon as the baby drank the milk powder, he sucked it hard and drank it all up in a short while.

Qian Xinran sighed, "I don't have any milk at all. Luckily I prepared a few cans of milk powder before, but I don't know how long it will last."

How could there be milk in such a tense situation? Seeing the baby fall asleep, Qin Muxue put the child back into Qian Xinran's hands.

Just now she vaguely felt that there was a red light in the baby's eyes and she was a little unsure. Would a normal child's eyes have a red light?

After Qu Yanbai changed the medicine, he went to see other villagers. Fortunately, most of the villagers understood the current situation, with only a few troublemakers who seemed likely to do dangerous things.
