Xue Yan looked at the room full of plastic bottles and couldn't help feeling a little sorry. If they were all replaced with blind boxes, she could get a lot of good things.
But carrying these bottles on the way to escape would only be a burden and would not be of any help at all.
Xue Yan turned her head away and stopped looking at them. She quickly put all the necessities into a snakeskin bag and tied it tightly with a rope.
When going out, the islanders all put on life jackets bought at Shuguang Supermarket.
Carrying her luggage, Xue Yan turned around and saw a glowing frog. She couldn't help but laughed out loud.
Thinking of the unknown road ahead, which might determine life or death, the smile on his lips slowly faded away.
Lan Ming was also in a low mood. He was usually extremely afraid of death, but when this day really came, he did not show any fear or shrink back.
Putting aside material conditions, he actually likes his current lifestyle.
To be honest, his daily workload is not even as heavy as before the apocalypse. He is surrounded by good friends, there is no intrigue, and his life is fulfilling and happy.
Apart from the food, there is no dissatisfaction.
If God allows him to spend the rest of his life on Qianshan Island, he would be willing to do so.
Shi Cheng used a thick hemp rope to tie the supplies on his back so that they would not fall off easily and it would be convenient for him to travel.
"Yan Yanhua, Xiao Mingzi, let me help you with your luggage. It's too tiring to carry it in your hands like this."
Xue Yan and Lan Ming listened to him and followed his example, changing the way they carried their luggage.
…
The highest place on the island is undoubtedly the sea cliff at the northernmost end of the island. Because so many people have died there, it is called the Cliff of Death by the islanders.
Tan Luyun and his men drove out more than twenty boats of various sizes and secured them to the shore with ropes.
The rest of the islanders set up their tents for the night in the woods near the Cliff of Death.
They didn't have professional tools, so they could only use waterproof curtains, shower curtains, etc. taken down from the hotel, and set up small spaces against the thick tree trunks.
After Shi Cheng finished building his own, he went to help Xue Yan and Lan Ming. If he found any unstable places, he would just tear them down and rebuild them.
More than 500 people crowded together in the grove. Everyone helped each other and set up all the tents before dark.
People are arranged to be on duty at night so that everyone can respond in time if any special situation occurs.
Xue Yan hardly slept at night, and it was not until three or four in the morning that she closed her eyes and rested for a while.
At dawn, the islanders came out of their tents and looked down the mountain. They saw that most of the hotel had been flooded.
Fortunately, they evacuated in time yesterday, otherwise they would have been trapped on the roof.
Facing the threat of death, it would be a lie to say that you are not afraid.
But the islanders are used to finding joy in adversity, and in such a difficult and desperate environment, they can find other things to divert their attention.
Those who like to dance can continue dancing, and those who like to sing can sing loudly to the sea.
You can also see a dozen people gathered together, playing Werewolf.
The only set of mahjong was also brought up, and the card players gathered in a circle. From time to time, the crisp sound of mahjong tiles colliding could be heard.
Xue Yan had nothing to do, so she followed Lan Ming and Shi Cheng, standing on the shore and playing skipping stones.
In the afternoon, another earthquake occurred not far from Qianshan Island, and the waves it brought up violently hit the grove.
The ground collapsed again and sank to the bottom of the sea.
The islanders could only quickly pack up their belongings and continue to flee to higher places, finally arriving at the edge of the sea cliff.
The sea level actually did not rise much, and the other side of the cliff was still steep and dangerous. The key was the impact of the earthquake, which directly caused the land where they lived to collapse and sink into the sea.
Now they were surrounded by the sea on all sides, not only were there cliffs behind them, but there were also faults in other places.
There was only one last piece of "pure land" left, which could barely accommodate about 500 of them.
Xue Yan's forehead was covered with sweat. She kept telling herself, "I'm not nervous, I'm not afraid, I'm not nervous, I'm not afraid..."
The surrounding islanders abandoned their original fun and began to panic to some extent.
Whether they can survive tonight depends on their luck.
…
Several rescue ships also encountered accidents on the way and had to change their routes several times, which delayed them by half of the time.
After nearly two days of sailing on the sea, we finally arrived at Qianshan Island at six in the morning.
[Ding, only 3 hours left until the island sinks~]
The system's countdown made Jiang He, who was originally not nervous, feel a sense of urgency.
The shallow mountain island was almost completely flooded, and as far as the eye could see, there was only endless sea water.
Jin Wang frowned, thinking that they were late, but then he heard an excited voice.
"Keep going, they're all on the north side!"
Jin Wang now particularly believes what Jiang He said. If it weren't for the route she gave them along the way, they might not have been able to reach Qianshan Island safely.
The ship quickly moved north, and the helicopter flying in the air was the first to discover the location of the survivors.
On the cliff, a group of people looked at the empty sea in despair, and the thought of giving up inevitably emerged in their minds.
The fear of waiting for death is a real test of one's heart.
The only thing they can do now is to choose a less painful way to die.
There are more than 500 lives at stake. Tan Luyun doesn't want to give up just like that. The boat hasn't been used yet, so she stubbornly wants to hold on to the end.
"Everyone, follow my instructions. Bring only a small amount of food and move to the ship in an orderly manner according to your previous groups!"
Although everyone saw no hope, they all listened to the island owner and lined up to board the boat one by one.
Mahjong, clothes and other things were all thrown on the cliff.
Xue Yan, Lan Ming and Shi Cheng were assigned to the last boat, and it was their turn only after all the other boats were empty.
As soon as they moved, the ground beneath their feet suddenly shook violently.
Another earthquake!
Click—click—
The horrible sound kept ringing in my ears, and the ground cracked inch by inch.
The last dozen or so islanders had no time to get on board. Amidst their cries of terror, they could only hear Shi Cheng shouting at the top of his lungs:
"Jump! Jump into the sea quickly!"
If they fell into the abyss along the cliff, they would surely die. But if they jumped into the sea, they might still have a chance of survival.
Before Xue Yan could react, someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the sea.
After a moment of confusion, her instinct for survival made her spread her arms and legs and swim forward desperately.
However, the rocks that collapsed behind him caught up with him at an extremely fast speed.
Xue Yan's right leg was hit by a rock, and she instantly lost strength and sank uncontrollably.
Seeing that she was injured, Shi Cheng's face changed suddenly, and he turned around without hesitation, wanting to rescue Xue Yan.
However, a brown figure was much faster than him and used its hard and wide tortoise shell to steadily support Xue Yan's falling body.
