Chapter 17 Chapter 17 (Including V notification) I want to leave...
Taking advantage of a ray of light rising from the sea level in the distance, Chang Ruijia immediately looked towards the crowd in front of her.
Even though she had prepared herself mentally through the noises she heard last night, she still couldn't help but gasp when she vaguely saw the outline coming from the crowd.
It is no exaggeration to say that the crowd that was densely packed before nightfall last night now seems to have disappeared by at least one-third.
Chang Ruijia still clearly remembers that when she walked out of the crowd at that time, she had to be very careful to avoid the people along the way by making many turns, making sure not to get too close to them to avoid being misunderstood.
But now, looking at the crowd in that glimmer of light, it no longer looked as crowded as before. The distance between different floating objects was at least enough for several people to walk side by side.
Realizing the reason for the current situation, Chang Ruijia's expression became more serious.
It seems that the screams they heard from the crowd last night were not all, and many unexpected incidents happened silently.
Ever since a ray of light crossed the sea level and changed the color of the sky, the picture of the entire sea surface began to appear more and more clearly in the eyes of those who had not slept all night.
Among the crowd, Chang Ruijia discovered a very interesting phenomenon.
Compared to those people inside the crowd who had a look of relief in their numbness after seeing the dawn, those who left the crowd early and were worried all night about being at a loss, after seeing the current situation clearly, their faces were filled with fear and collapse.
It was as if the situation last night was completely reversed.
The view on the sea became clearer and clearer, and more and more people who had taken a light nap slowly got up, looking at the sea surface which was completely different from last night, feeling a little at a loss.
Looking at the two groups of people inside and outside the crowd with completely different reactions, Chang Ruijia's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The current situation is like a group of unarmed lambs taking a nap around a pack of wolves. But when these wolves, who have just experienced a fight, wake up, what will be the fate of the lambs?
Chang Ruijia seemed to have already seen the result.
After daybreak, how could those people who had become accustomed to a life-and-death struggle still abide by the rules that were no longer worthy of their name?
The flock of sheep that have never experienced the dangers of the world will naturally become the first target.
Chang Ruijia's eyes kept jumping in the crowd, trying to find the armed police who had been maintaining order in the crowd yesterday.
She also didn't know whether after finding him, she could really stop the people who had already "had sex" with her identity as an armed police officer, but having such an identity always made her feel more at ease.
But the final result was not what she wanted.
I don't know whether that person left without anyone noticing, or if he had already left during the chaos last night...
Chang Ruijia didn't think about it any further. After all, in the pitch-black night, no matter how agile the armed police officer was, anything could happen in the panic among the crowd.
The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and a faint ray of sunrise clouds had begun to appear on the distant horizon, but Chang Ruijia could already feel that some of the people's eyes were gradually turning to them.
Among them, who else could be the most eye-catching and coveted except her who has the exclusive possession of this two-meter bed?
Feeling the eyes of everyone around her staring at her, and the greed and jealousy all around her, Chang Ruijia felt like her heart was about to explode.
"Plop, plop, plop..."
His heart was beating violently one after another, and the sense of impending life crisis was even stronger than when Chang Ruijia escaped from the crowd yesterday.
In fact, even if her own alarm system did not remind her, Chang Ruijia had already started to back down in her heart.
Originally, she had no intention of leaving the crowd directly.
After all, staying on the edge of the crowd and reducing communication is one thing, but completely giving up daily interactions with the crowd and choosing to live alone on the sea is another matter.
Humans are still social animals.
If Chang Ruijia was alone for only one or two days, she might not feel anything wrong and might even enjoy this state.
But once you completely cut people out of your life, and don't even know when you will see other people again, it will be a completely different life.
Chang Ruijia didn't know if she could bear the loneliness of talking to herself every day, but now she no longer cared about those considerations.
In the few seconds of thinking, as she felt the restless emotions of the people around her, she suddenly felt full of confidence in the life of living alone that she was about to face.
No matter how lonely it is to be drifting on the sea alone, you just need to keep adjusting yourself. However, when facing a group of people whose emotions easily fluctuate with the group, there will be too many unknown situations.
Moreover, she was not even sure whether she could protect herself every time when facing the covetousness of the people day after day.
Even if you haven't experienced such days, you can guess how difficult they are.
So at this moment, Chang Ruijia didn't even do much to comfort her heart which was about to beat out.
He simply secured everything on the bed and rowed directly to the more remote and uninhabited sea area.
At this moment, as long as I can leave the current environment, it doesn’t matter what is coming in the future.
What's more, she is still in a confused stage about the current world. How can Chang Ruijia know which direction on the sea is good?
At this time, she can only gamble on her luck.
The sound of breaking water and the sound of surging waves mixed together, seeming inconspicuous on the not-so-calm sea surface.
But such a subtle movement instantly attracted the attention of those in the crowd, and they looked towards the outside of the crowd with vigilance.
Last night, it was just the ordinary sound of flowing water, and every time it sounded, it was accompanied by a brief scream from the crowd.
Every sound that echoed in their ears meant possible danger, and no one among them would ever take such sounds for granted again.
Even though the sky was gradually getting brighter, the moment they keenly detected the sound, the nerves of all those who had experienced the chaos of last night became tense.
After the crowd density began to loosen, the sea surface became much wider, and it was easy to see the actions of the people around.
Surprisingly, no abnormal behavior was found in the sight of those people.
On the sea, the shock still lingered on the young man's face. The figure trembled huddled together with his eyes tightly shut. The girl, unwilling to face reality, lay crouched beside a floating object with her eyes closed...
Except for the occasional disturbances, everything seemed normal.
It was as if the sound of flowing water that just appeared was just an auditory hallucination caused by a sleepless night.
On the other side, Chang Ruijia, who was hiding in the crowd, had no idea that her action, which she had tried hard not to attract attention, would attract so much attention just a short while later.
At this moment, she could only try her best to control her body. The kitchen knife in her hand, which she used as a paddle, had been put into the mall warehouse the moment she felt her gaze coming over.
At this moment, she was lying weakly on the side of the bed. Her hand, which no longer had the kitchen knife, relied on the support of her body to control her hand, which was suspended inconspicuously above the water surface without any contact with the sea water.
She didn't know what the mechanism was for those unknown creatures on the seabed to attack, whether it was because people fell into the water or because part of their bodies had close contact with the sea water.
At this moment, she didn't have the mind to find out what was going on. All she could do was make sure she didn't touch the water.
Otherwise, before escaping the crowd's attention, he would attract those unknown creatures on the seabed.
Chang Ruijia has not forgotten that in the night before dawn, she still has a small grudge to settle with the unknown creatures in the sea.
Fortunately, the people around her had woken up one after another, so she quickly imitated their actions, pretending that she had just woken up from her sleep, while looking around with panic in her eyes.
If the people around at this time had a good memory, they would find that the bed under Chang Ruijia had moved a little distance away from its position before night fell last night.
However, not everyone has such detailed observation capabilities nowadays.
Those people only turned their attention to this side because of the sound of flowing water. They didn't notice at all that Chang Ruijia, who was pretending to be asleep, was already awake before the sound of flowing water appeared.
The crowd who didn't notice anything wrong had already looked away. Although they didn't notice anything particularly unusual, the vague sense of ease on the faces of the people around them still stimulated their hearts at the moment.
Why was it that last night, when they were on the verge of death, that group of people were able to stay out of danger? Why was everyone thrown here at the same time, yet everyone's fate was completely different?
Looking at the floating object that had expanded a lot after last night, the people who had also experienced last night's events looked at each other silently, as if they were discussing something.
Those people around the crowd gradually noticed the strange atmosphere, and the almost suffocating feeling made them gradually become restless.
Chang Ruijia was waiting for such an opportunity.
When people on the periphery of the crowd began to find ways to paddle their floats in order to find more security, she also followed their movements and started paddling.
But her goal was quite clear. Unlike others who had no direction or goal, she just paddled straight towards the outskirts of the crowd.
Just when Chang Ruijia had tried to paddle outwards a little, the already turbulent crowd seemed to have reached some consensus and turned around and rushed towards the people who had luckily escaped the disaster last night.
"Stay! All of you must stay!"
"You guys don't have any extra value anyway, so just become our food!"
