Jiang He got up early today and spent more than two hours buying goods in the virtual supermarket.
Because she left the Ningfeng base, she appropriately reduced the purchase of snake-repellent pills and distributed them to other essential supplies.
The new mission seems a bit troublesome. It is estimated that it will take two or three days to complete, just like the one on Qianshan Island.
Fortunately, the reward was quite generous, which made her very motivated.
Only after receiving the goods did Jiang He have time to check the situation outside.
She went out of the invisible door and directly opened the small supermarket on the second floor.
Through the three non-substantial walls, the scene outside the supermarket can be seen at a glance.
Didn’t we say we had arrived at the new base? Where are the buildings and the gate?
Jiang He only saw the flood full of garbage and the fog in the distance, as if he was on the sea.
"Tong, are you sure you didn't teleport to the wrong place?"
The portal usually teleports her outside the base gate or outside the wall.
This is the first time I have encountered a situation like today.
System: [That's right, the Mojiang base is right here, but most of the houses were washed away by the flood, leaving them in ruins and submerged in water.]
Jiang He frowned, "Where are the people at the base?"
The whole team shouldn't be wiped out, otherwise the system wouldn't assign any moving tasks.
[The Mojiang base was hit by a flood, and the disaster was very serious. Many residents of the base died on the first night of the flood. Some survivors hid in the nearby highlands, but they still faced the threat of mutant beasts and their lives were hanging by a thread.
The host's mission is to find them, take them away from here, and find a safe new home~]
Jiang He stood at the edge of the corridor and looked into the depths of the flood.
There was no sound below, only the flood flowing slowly, and there was no sign of any living creature.
Compared to the mutant snakes that can be seen everywhere in Ningfeng Base, it is really quiet here.
Deadly danger seemed to be lurking in the dark and could awaken at any time. The atmosphere was so eerie that it made people feel uneasy.
"Tong, where are the survivors hiding? Can you detect them?"
[Yes~]
…
…
The crumbling shopping mall building stood abruptly in the garbage dump, with the building tilted to one side, as if it would collapse in the next second.
On the top floor of the building, the tables and chairs originally used for resting and enjoying the scenery were all piled up by the fence, and the red carpet and grass on the ground were lifted up one by one, creating a chaotic scene.
If you look closer, you will find dozens of figures hiding under the tables and chairs, huddled together and shivering.
Heavy rain continued for several days, and the temperature dropped sharply, especially at night, when the temperature dropped below zero.
They spent the night outdoors and had to cover themselves with whatever was available, but the wind was strong on the roof, and even though their bodies were covered with red carpets and grass, they could not completely drive away the cold.
“A-choo——”
A sneeze was so loud that it shook the sky.
"Oh, you're so disgusting! Can't you just hit me over there? Your saliva is all over my neck!"
The girl's voice was clearly filled with annoyance, and the boy hugging her hurriedly whispered to her:
"Qingqing, baby, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I didn't react just now..."
"Okay, okay, stop talking and stay away from me, so as not to infect me with your cold."
The girl broke free from his arms and moved two meters away, as if he was some kind of pathogen and she didn't want to have anything to do with him.
The boy's good friend sneered and couldn't help but stand up for him:
"Who is she? If you hadn't carried her out on your back when the flood destroyed the dormitory building, she would have died.
Not only is he ungrateful now, but even knowing you were sick, he didn't even show any concern, and he's still complaining about this and that..."
Wang Hesen frowned, and his pale lips moved, "Okay, keep your voice down. If Qingqing hears, she'll be unhappy."
Fang Ming couldn't help but roll his eyes, but he didn't say anything else. After so many years, he had already gotten used to his love-brained look.
Who makes him like it? No matter what outsiders say, it won't work. Just talk about it, as long as it doesn't cross the bottom line.
In the corner, a couple slept in each other's arms. The woman slowly opened her eyes and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"A Chao, what happened? Is someone arguing?"
Gu Chao patted her back gently and said softly, "No one is arguing, just a couple bickering."
Yun Shu buried herself in his embrace and rubbed him twice: "Ah, it's great to be young. Only people of their age can have such vitality."
"Why? We're not that old. At most, we're three, four, five, or six years older than them.
Wife, if you want to argue, I can accompany you."
Yun Shu raised his head and said, "Come on, you're the one who won't let me go. You'll definitely let me go."
Gu Chao put his arm around her waist, his face full of doting: "Are you so confident?"
"Well, who made me so beautiful and lovable?"
"Well, then I am the one who loves you the most."
Yun Shu rested her chin on his chest, her eyes unfocused but looking firmly in the direction of Gu Chao.
"A Chao, I'm sorry to have you die with me in this small place.
If there is a next life, I..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard a man shouting:
"Boat, there's a boat over there, we'll be rescued soon!"
Several people waved their hands desperately, fearing that the "ship" would pass by them.
"Help, help, we are here!"
They were trapped on the roof for two days and two nights and hadn't seen anyone else.
If I hadn't seized the opportunity, I would probably have died here.
Gu Chao stood up holding Yun Shu and stared at the water around him vigilantly. He felt uneasy, wondering if the monsters would be attracted by the sound.
Yun Shu was extremely excited. She took the man's hand and asked, "A Chao, is there really a boat? What does it look like?"
Gu Chao slowly turned his gaze away, and saw a... pink boat sailing in the vast flood.
However, it doesn't quite look like a boat. To be more precise, it's more like an RV on land, except that it has an extra layer of structure underneath.
"She looks a little strange, but very pretty, the kind you like."
Yun Shu couldn't see, but he could tell the direction by sound. He quickly found the direction of the "ship" and waved his hands excitedly, shouting along with the others:
"Help, help! We are trapped here!"
Looking at her lively appearance, Gu Chao smiled with satisfaction and felt a warm feeling in his heart.
Sensing the movement in the water, his expression suddenly changed and he quickly held Yun Shu in his arms.
"Be careful, the monster is out again!"
Hearing this, everyone turned their heads and looked at the rippling water.
Yesterday, they encountered a giant squid with tentacles four or five meters long, which directly swept the man standing on the edge of the roof into the flood.
Afterwards, only a few "gurgling" sounds were heard, and the man was drowned by the squid. His body was torn into pieces and eaten alive, leaving only a torn piece of clothing floating on the surface.
Fortunately, the squid couldn't come ashore, so they were able to escape.
But this time, I was not so lucky.
With a bang, four or five plastic boxes were knocked away, and a crocodile emerged from the water and approached them quickly.
