Chapter 99 Chapter 99 The engine horsepower is turned to the maximum, rushing...
Chang Ruijia cursed inwardly. It only took a few minutes from the time they discovered the signs to the time the sea water temperature rose rapidly.
If she hadn't had a bad premonition before, coupled with the riot of the monster fish in the sea, which forced them to do all kinds of things, if they hadn't realized the problem like the others did, with the speed of the volcanic eruption, how could they have left people with enough time to escape?
It turns out that God is a cruel and wicked person who doesn’t leave any way for people to survive!
Fortunately, Lu Baian had already walked some distance in advance, so he shouldn't encounter any emergency for a while. It can be considered a blessing in disguise.
But Chang Ruijia and Shi Fang's current situation wasn't particularly good. Even though they had engines and propellers that increased their speed, their survival rate was only slightly higher than that of others.
The natural destructive force that destroys everything will not show mercy just because you run faster than others.
The roar of the engine was still ringing, but perhaps it was a psychological effect, Chang Ruijia could even faintly feel the heat wave surging from behind.
But gradually, the beads of sweat that kept sliding down their foreheads reminded them that danger was really approaching.
"Sister Chang," Shifang, who had been steering the engine all the way to the throttle, spoke with difficulty, "Is the sea out back boiling? How did the temperature rise so much all of a sudden?"
"Is it open or not? Even if you don't look back, can't you hear the boiling sound?" Chang Ruijia really admired Shi Fang's strong heart that had the energy to make a joke at such a critical moment.
"Seeing is believing. As long as I don't see anything, then everything's fine." Shi Fang's stubborn back of his head fully reflected his mood. "We're not going to be eaten alive right here, are we?"
"For hot pot, you must be of Wagyu beef quality, and the fat ratio is absolutely excellent. Don't worry, it's worthy of the abdominal muscles you have worked hard to train." Chang Ruijia comforted him half-heartedly without raising her head.
"Oh my dear sister, is this the time to care about what kind of meat is in the hot pot? Even if you do, it should at least be a spicy hot pot." Shifang wailed without turning his head, but when he talked about the spicy hot pot, he swallowed unconsciously.
"It won't work, don't worry." Chang Ruijia glanced at the GoPro footage beside her. The products from the mall were indeed trustworthy. They were almost steamed by the temperature of the water while sitting on the floating objects, but they were still diligently returning to the footage under the sea.
The sea, which had only faintly shimmered with red light before they ran, now glowed brighter and brighter. Not to mention how far they had run, even the previously freezing cold waters did not dampen the momentum of the molten lava in the slightest.
If this continues, it is not certain whether the magma and volcanic ash under the influence of the volcano will cause harm to the floating objects and them, but what is certain is that they will be cooked like meat in a steamer without realizing it.
It is definitely impossible to escape from this sea area before the volcanic magma spreads rapidly by relying on only one engine.
Fortunately, in order to prevent one engine from not being able to carry the entire team into exile, she and Lu Baian had the foresight to collect different kinds of monster fish and accumulated some assets, so they could have at least a dozen engines.
After Chang Ruijia exchanged all the materials for the engine and propeller in the mall, she walked over to Shi Fang and patted him on the shoulder. "It's up to you now, little mechanical genius."
"What?" Shi Fang was confused for a moment after being yelled at. Then he saw the scattered parts on the bed behind him. His eyes lit up, "Wow! Sister Chang, you are my god!"
"Stop talking nonsense here," Chang Ruijia waved her hand and took over the steering and throttle control handles from him. "Hurry up and assemble all the parts. Whether you can survive depends on your craftsmanship."
"Don't worry," Shi Fang assured, patting his chest. "Such good conditions are laid out here. If I fail to meet the requirements again, it would be truly unforgivable."
"Yeah," the handle with huge pushing force fell into her hand. Even though she was mentally prepared, Chang Ruijia was almost knocked off her feet by this force, but fortunately she quickly stabilized.
"Oh right," Chang Ruijia stabilized the direction and state of her hands, without turning her head, as if she suddenly remembered something, "It seems that there is not enough space in the back. Before assembling, remember to throw all the things on the bed into the sea."
Shifang, who was almost seeing golden light when looking at the spare parts all over the floor, stumbled due to her sister Chang's light words and almost fell into the arms of the spare parts all over the floor.
Hearing this, Shifang's head seemed to have bearings installed, and he slowly turned towards Chang Ruijia inch by inch.
Did he hear correctly? Throw these things on the bed into the sea?
"Sister Chang, what did you throw into the sea? You should at least mark a range for your brother. It would be bad if he threw it into the wrong place." Shifang said tentatively.
"What other things are there?" Chang Ruijia didn't even turn her head. "As far as I can see, except for the pile of parts you want to put together, throw away the rest..."
"It's okay, sister. Your floating bed has plenty of space, and assembling the parts won't take up that much space. We won't throw them all away~"
Looking at the equipment that had been envied by countless people at the market, Shifang felt his heart bleed, even though it was not his at all.
What a spendthrift! Such a spendthrift!
Before being brought to this uninhabited sea area, he was at least a rich second-generation who had seen the world. However, after experiencing a period of having nothing and having to spend every penny he wanted, he unknowingly formed the habit of saving.
If it wasn't an inappropriate time, he would have almost blurted out "Give me everything you don't want." He didn't know how his sister Chang could bear to part with this pair of things, and there was no sign of them breaking.
"Don't feel bad," Chang Ruijia could imagine Shi Fang's expression without looking back. "Even if things are gone, we can still get them again. The situation is critical now. The weight of this pile of things will slow us down."
Reminded by Chang Ruijia, Shifang lowered his head to glance at the GoPro footage that he had not noticed before. Almost the next moment, without even raising his head, he had already thrown himself in front of the heaviest pile of things and kicked them into the sea.
You wouldn't know until you see it, when did the red background appear on this underwater scene? The red light is almost covering the entire screen. If we don't find a way to increase the speed, we're really going to be in hot pot!
Almost at the moment Shi Fang started working, Chang Ruijia felt that the bed that she had been pressing down suddenly increased in speed, and even the steering handle that she was pressing down became much easier to control.
It can be seen how heavy the pile of things originally assembled on her bed was.
After kicking and stomping on the bed to remove all the things, there was nothing left on the bed except the engine and propeller parts. There was not even a toothpick. It could even be described as a bare house.
Looking at the bed that had returned to the one before liberation, Shifang sighed silently. If Chang Ruijia wanted to return to its previous prosperity, she didn't know how long it would take to accumulate the family business.
However, Shifang clenched his fists tightly. They were here, and he believed that Brother Lu and the others would not just stand by and watch!
She didn't know what kind of miserable look she had in the eyes of the boy who was crawling into the pile of spare parts behind her. Chang Ruijia herself didn't even feel any regret about being "forced" to return to her original appearance. She was even a little excited.
It is still unknown how many people will be left after this large-scale migration, but it would be extremely difficult to start over with only these few people.
Therefore, the information they had received before, whether it was the official base or other markets, almost became a path they would inevitably take, integrating into the crowd and then improving the team's status step by step.
But no matter what, if she first entered an unfamiliar group with her original set of equipment, she would either attract covetous glances or be treated as a sucker.
She was too eye-catching. Among such a group of people, she was still too eye-catching.
But now, because of the predicament she faced, she "had to" give up everything she had, which not only gave her a normal reason, but also helped her get a chance to return to her original state.
This is awesome!
With two completely different emotions, Chang Ruijia and Shi Fang's train of thought finally came to the same conclusion.
Hurry up and meet up with the others. I want to tell them this sad (happy) news as soon as possible.
Shifang was busy with his hands. Since he had experience in disassembly and assembly, the speed of assembly this time was extremely fast. One engine and propeller after another was installed next to Chang Ruijia.
The rapidly approaching red curtain was finally left behind.
However, Chang Ruijia did not let Shifang stop easily. Instead, she let him finish assembling everything before she breathed a sigh of relief.
After they reunited, their team had more than just one or two people. They had to consider the number of people on the one hand, and the magma spreading under the sea on the other. There was no extra time for them to dawdle and wait.
The speed of several engines was incomparable to before. The waves splashing around the bed kept falling. Chang Ruijia, who was standing at the head of the bed, was almost like taking a hot bath. Fortunately, hard work pays off. Dense small black shadows gradually appeared on the horizon in front of her.
A huge roar came from far away and got closer. Lu Baian squinted his eyes and looked. Sure enough, apart from the two people in their team, there would be no one else who would make such a shocking appearance.
"Let's go!" After approaching the team's gathering place, Chang Ruijia slowly stepped on the accelerator.
Lu Baian quickly led his men to jump onto Chang Ruijia's floating object. Without stopping, he distributed the engines and propellers that had been placed on Jiang's bed, and then stepped on the throttle. The whole team rushed towards the distance like an arrow, cutting through the waves.
The whole process took no more than ten minutes, silently demonstrating the strong tacit understanding cultivated during this period.
"Hehehe~" After Shifang stepped on the accelerator again and flew to the front of the entire team, Lu Baian and others who fell exhausted on the bed couldn't help but smile.
