Chapter 132 The Abandoned Peninsula
"A reliable boat? How reliable does it need to be?"
"I actually have a spare boat in my space." Tang Yatong said, "but it's very small, an electric kayak that can only seat five or six people. It's OK for short trips or for me to use alone, but it won't even fit a lot of people, let alone search for underwater supplies."
You Xi knew what she meant. It would take more than a few hours to search for underwater supplies in a coastal city submerged by a tsunami. They had to find the location before going into the water. If the supplies in the place they were looking for were not waterproofed or the storage warehouse was flooded with water, they would have to look for them again.
This process would take a certain amount of time, and they might have to stay there for several days.
For several days, they had to eat, drink, defecate and urinate in a small electric kayak. It was not impossible, but it would be very tiring.
If there was a suitable boat with a roof for them to stretch their arms and legs and rest, it would be much more convenient.
"It's a pity that this is highland, not the seaside. If it was the seaside, we might be able to find a boat and repair it."
The main reason was that a larger boat took up too much space. Although Tang Yatong's space had been upgraded many levels, it was still too big for her to put a medium-sized speedboat in it. After all, she already had a car in her space.
"I have a boat." The three-story yacht from the acid rain world had not been used once since it was put into the transportation warehouse.
"How big is it?" She knew that Youxi's space was quite large. After being separated for so long, her space must have been upgraded, so it was not surprising that she could fit a speedboat.
"It's not very big, but it's bigger than an electric kayak, so it's enough to use." Youxi thought about the three-story yacht that was 75 feet long, and she really didn't think it was very big.
But she felt that the key was not how big the boat was, but the three bedrooms and two living rooms on it plus various functional spaces - it was completely a luxurious villa on the water.
Moreover, among the three bedrooms, two were suites with bathrooms, wardrobes and desks. One suite was enough for the three of them.
Tang Yatong's trust in Youxi was already 100%. When she heard that it was enough to use, she stopped asking questions and turned to study the route.
From the central highlands where they were to the eastern region, the shortest way was by land - if there was still a land route after this wave of typhoons and rainstorms passed.
"In fact, this place is also close to the northern sea area, and we can go directly by water."
After You Xi pointed out the route, she shook her head and denied it, "No, if we take the outer route, it is easy to run into the time loop area... However, we can't predict when the next typhoon will come. Whether it is by water or land, there are risks."
This is also the reason why she took You Zhenzhen to escape to the high ground before the disaster. The roar of nature is too terrible and very disorderly. If they are not on the high ground now, they may have to deal with the raging floods.
"Don't worry about this. If there is really no way to avoid it, I have the last means to save my life. Now I just hope that this typhoon can pass quickly."
The roaring super typhoon did not pass on the second day, but continued for a whole week.
These seven days changed everything.
Fifty percent of the land on Lushan Peninsula was submerged by seawater and floods. The people in the affected areas who were originally living in buildings without water and electricity were almost out of food. When the typhoon stopped, they could not wait to take their little water and luggage and use various tools to leave the submerged buildings and go to higher ground.
Some people left, but some people had to stay where they were. Some
of them were originally patients, and some did not have tools such as kayaks, or even a larger wooden basin.
The flood outside has already flooded the second floor. In some places, the water is turbulent, and all kinds of dirty garbage are floating in the gray-black water. There may be many undercurrents and whirlpools underwater. It is extremely difficult to travel without the help of tools.
The network signal is sometimes available and sometimes not. Even when there is a signal, the signal strength is very weak. Calls are often interrupted. It is also difficult to get through to the ambulance and fire department because there are too many people asking for help.
In addition, there has been a rumor circulating on the Lushan Peninsula recently.
I don’t know where this rumor came from. The main idea is that some unknown reasons have occurred, so there has been no external rescue on the peninsula since the first typhoon.
Whether it is a fleet, personnel or water supplies, there is nothing.
The entire Lushan Peninsula seems to have been abandoned.
**
During these seven days, the highland scenic area also began to become chaotic.
Because of the raging typhoon, tourists can only stay in the building. The hotel began to control the daily backup power and water consumption. However, the lack of supplies not only made tourists panic, but also the staff inside the hotel began to hide supplies secretly.
The typhoon and rainstorms raged outside the building, and people could not leave the building. The hotel became an isolated island, and the situation inside each hotel was different.
There was an unlucky hotel. On the second day of the typhoon, the hotel was seized by a group of organized tourists. The management officer was forced to hand over all the water and water supplies by using soft and hard methods or directly conquering them with violence. Afterwards, the people inside the organization ate and drank lavishly, and the rest of the people were concentratedly guarded and only distributed a little supplies.
There are also some luckier hotels, where most of the tourists are elderly groups or parent-child groups. Although these people quarrel and have conflicts every day over the distribution of supplies, it is much better than pure violent conquest.
The hotel where Youxi and Tang Yatong stayed also staged a "violent conquest activity" in the early morning of the third day. A group of people organized themselves, first controlled the hotel's people, then got the master key card, and broke into the rooms one by one in the early morning when all the guests were the most sleepy.
They were more excessive than other people who only took hotel supplies, because they not only took all the hotel's water supplies, but also tried to snatch all the guests' own supplies.
This group of people were quite smart, knowing how to work together. They also took all kinds of knives from the kitchen. Every guest in the room that was broken into had almost no chance to resist, and they were held hostage and all the water was searched.
However, this "violent conquest activity" was eventually "counter-violent". When they used the master key card to unlock the door of Youxi's triple suite, they found that it could not be opened and switched to a fire axe to prepare to break the door, but the door opened from the inside by itself.
Youxi had just slept for three hours, and with a lot of bad temper when he woke up, he beat up the bullies outside who were holding knives (kitchen knives), shovels (cooking spatulas), axes (fire axes), and sticks (mop sticks).
After the rest of the hotel voted, between driving them out and tying them up, this group of people finally chose the latter.
It's not that everyone is soft-hearted, but mainly because social order has just been disrupted and most people don't dare to kill anyone. If they chase them out, they are afraid that they will run into the hotel again and do evil again.
After all, the hotel's doors and windows are damaged in many places, and they are leaking everywhere. As long as they are not blown away by the typhoon, they will come back sooner or later. Instead of worrying about whether they will come back to do evil again, it is better to tie them up and lock them in one place, under our eyes.
Compared with other tourists, the Chen family father and son were slightly more vigilant. Not only did they lock the door, but they also used chairs to prop it up. After the other party chopped the door a few times, the people in the room woke up, and then both sides rushed out.
Although they had more people in their group, they were scared when they saw the knives in the other party's hands. Few dared to resist. The son Chen Shengxin was injured in order to save people. Because of this "violent conquest activity", Youxi and her friends met other people in the other party's group.
She had already told Tang Yatong about the different looks she had received from the other team. Their only concern was whether the other party was the missioner.
He was a handsome middle-aged man, between 30 and 40 years old, with his wife and a teenage daughter. As soon as he saw You Xi, there was some inexplicable emotion in his eyes.
And because of this meeting, You Xi also had some more information about the world in his mind. It
was very bloody. This man named An Dong was the first love of the world figure, You Zhenzhen's biological father.
You Xi: ...
The other party probably looked at You Xi a few times in front of everyone and didn't say anything because he now had a new family and didn't want his family to know about his past.
That afternoon, he went downstairs alone and knocked on You Xi's door.
The other party said that when he knew she was pregnant, he chose to tell his parents, but his parents did not agree that they should continue to be together. He arranged for him to transfer to another school and gave his parents a sum of money, but was angrily rejected.
Now he has a new life, but he still feels sorry for the past and for her - especially after he calculated You Zhenzhen's age and found out that she was his biological daughter.
Now there are disasters outside and the peaceful life is gone forever. It is fate that the two can meet again here.
If she has any difficulties, she can go to him privately, and he will definitely help if he can.
But he also hopes that she will not mention the past again, because his current wife and children don't know about his past, and it is impossible for him to recognize You Zhenzhen.
Tang Yatong, who was in the room, heard the conversation in the corridor. She couldn't help but open the door and walked out. Relying on Qu Yichen's superior height, she hugged Youxi tightly in her arms: "Shut up, Xiaoxi is under my care now, you old man, get away and don't come here to rub your hands. You probably don't know that the instant noodles, instant rice and ham sausage you have eaten these days are all given by my Xiaoxi! If I have any trouble, you should spit out the food you have eaten these days before you brag shamelessly here!"
An Dong looked at "Qu Yichen" in astonishment, and looked him up and down several times: "You, you are actually with a high school student——"
"High school, your grandpa!" Tang Yatong had a bad temper. She was too lazy to say anything and kicked An Dong away. "How could the Chen father and son be friends with such a hypocrite? It's a bit unreliable."
"Then the three of us will act. Anyway, we have only known each other for a few days and our friendship is not deep."
"Yeah, that's fine."
The two of them went back to the room while discussing, but when they turned around, they saw You Zhenzhen standing in the living room of the suite, looking at them with a melancholy look: "...I, I won't call you dad!"
You Xi:...
Tang Yatong:...
**
After the typhoon stopped, You Xi and Tang Yatong repaired a damaged car in the rain, and went to the mountain road that had been cut off before to check the situation.
The heavy rain that lasted for a week caused the mountain to completely collapse and slide, but because of the heavy rain for several days, all the mud and rocks blocking the mountain road were washed down the slope on the other side.
Now the mountain on one side is completely empty, and there is no need to worry about collapse halfway through the walk. The only boulders left on the entire mountain road that could not be washed away by the heavy rain were some boulders that blocked the way.
You Xi and Tang Yatong asked You Zhenzhen to sit in the car obediently, and got out of the car directly wearing raincoats. Each of them took an iron rod and manually cleared all the boulders on the mountain road with extraordinary strength.
When they were about to leave the scenic area, the Chen family father and son unexpectedly rushed over with luggage, saying that they had also repaired a car and wanted to go down the mountain with them.
"You're not with your friends?"
The other party smiled and didn't say anything high-sounding: "I think the chances of survival are greater if I'm with you - of course, it depends on your willingness. If you don't want to take us with you, then we can't force you."
Tang Yatong glanced at You Xi.
"Taking you with us doesn't mean we're responsible for your lives. Also, we can't tolerate betrayers here, remember to speak less and ask fewer questions."
"Don't worry! We're not that stupid!" Chen Lei is indeed not stupid. This disaster made him see the character and IQ of those friends.
Compared with these ordinary friends, the mysterious troops who are brave and resourceful are naturally more reliable.
