Chapter 118 Wei County
The average altitude of Dari County is 3,500 meters, and the lowest altitude is above 2,800 meters. Even after the global floods, it is still a relatively safe county.
As shown on the map, if the raft was moored at the river bank closest to Dari County, they would only need to walk about ten kilometers from the shore to Dari County and up the mountain road.
It is the border area between Xizhou Province and Xiangzhou Province. After landing on the west side of Yinsha River, it basically belongs to the territory of Xizhou Province. There are two other rescue stations further southwest of Dari County, which are not too far away. Even if the situation in Dari County is not good and they need to wait for rescue, they should get it soon.
Finally, about 400 kilometers west of Dari County, Zhicheng is where Yao Ruoyun's parents are, and Zheng Feifei's family is also there. As long as the raft can successfully land, everyone - including her - can land smoothly.
Shu Fu made a quick decision and directly set the river area near Dari County as the destination.
The route information came out, [621/07:45:04], and the countdown started to reverse normally, which means that the river waters from here to the destination can be driven normally, and there will be no waterways with high drops that make it impossible to move forward.
Of course, it is also possible that because of the rainy season of more than a year, the areas with original altitude differences have been submerged by the rising river water.
It is now six o'clock in the evening. It will be late at night when we arrive there, when it is the darkest. With the rain, the visibility will be even worse, which is just the right time for the raft to quietly dock.
"Okay, take some sleep." Shu Fu put away the panel, took out a stack of notes and a pen under the cover of her backpack, wrote the destination and arrival time on them, and let Yao Ruoyun look at them before putting them away again.
Then, they both turned around and sat with their backs against the fence.
All around, the survivors who were originally sitting stood up one after another. They held onto the frontmost fence and looked through the glass windows at the water surface in the night. Traces of buildings appeared in the water ahead.
They couldn't help but let out a low cry. The steel pillars were very tall and stood abruptly in the middle of the river. There seemed to be broken cables around them. They already knew what it was. It was a bridge!
This was the bridge they had planned to reach after nightfall tonight! It had been submerged by the river!
The survivors were in a panic, after all, the surrounding waters were too dark, and no matter which floor of the villa the raft driver was on, it was hard not to make mistakes. They were afraid that the raft would hit the bridge pillars standing in the river, or be thrown by the still swinging cables when passing by.
But soon, the raft began to turn left and right, avoiding every possible obstacle with great flexibility. During the whole process, the raft did not even slow down.
Everyone held on to the railing tightly, and as the raft turned, they let out low shouts from time to time. They felt like they were riding in bumper cars in the park, which looked dangerous as they kept spinning around, but in fact, there was nothing to worry about.
A moment later, the raft left the bridge area and moved forward quickly in a straight line again.
"Wow, this is amazing..." Someone couldn't help but sigh, "I really want to have a raft like this!"
Others: Tsk~~
Who wouldn’t want to say that?
But is this a question of whether or not to do it?
Putting aside other things, just this extremely luxurious three-story villa on the raft is something that not ordinary people can own even in peacetime!

In a corner of the terrace, Shu Fu leaned against the fence and looked up to see the glass ceiling of the terrace. She had not expected that the first time she set up this classic S-class house, she would not even have the chance to enter the door.
Just now, she had also looked at it from the front of the balcony. The entire front deck area of this house type seemed to be included in the protection scope of the Drifting Island House, probably because there was a pure glass ceiling above the sofa booths, infinity jacuzzi, lounge chairs and other facilities, just like the front door eaves of the starting house type.
But now, the eaves have become pure glass and cover the entire front deck area, completely bringing the area under protection.
Shu Fu was actually itching to visit her new house, especially the infinity jacuzzi on the far left side of the front deck. She wanted to know what it would feel like to lie in it and take a bath while the raft was drifting.
The wind and rain definitely couldn't reach the deck, but if the drift bottle shield wasn't opened, others should be able to see her in the bathtub at a glance. After all, the bathtub is boundless, with glass walls on the left and front, completely transparent...
Maybe it was because she was on her own raft, or maybe she was just too tired after hiking all day, but Shu Fu leaned against the balcony railing, lost in thought, and soon fell asleep.
Yao Ruoyun carefully adjusted her posture so that Shu Fu could lean on her more comfortably.
On the day when the freezing rain stopped, when the two of them were waiting outside the tunnel for the team members who had gone out to return, Shu Fu told her something. Although it sounded incredible, many incredible things had happened to her at that time, so she quickly accepted it.
Only then did she understand why Shu Fu had given her a large box filled with various cooked foods, fruits, milk teas, drinks and a small amount of daily necessities and asked her to put it in her backpack before leaving the teahouse that night.
According to Shu Fu, if she couldn't get to the rescue site on the southwestern plateau, she would most likely not be able to get to Dari County in Xizhou Province.
But now, she couldn't be completely sure.
If that was the case, this trip on the raft would most likely be their last moment together before they parted. Even if it was just a hypothesis, Yao Ruoyun felt a strong reluctance. She wanted them to go to Dari County together, and then to Zhicheng together.
She wanted to take her to meet her parents, have her mother make her favorite bubble wontons, and let her see if there was a white light strip on the top of her mother's head like hers.
She also wanted to go with her to meet her friends, as Chinese New Year would be in a month, and they might be able to set off fireworks together, even if it was just the smallest kind.
Later, she would bring her parents with her to Chamu County to find Lu Zheng and his family. They all had rafts, and his father knew how to grow crops. The raft was so big that he could put a container on the deck for planting, put boxes of nutrient soil in it, and grow whatever he wanted to eat.
Other people can also install containers on their rafts and raise some small animals such as chickens and ducks, so that in addition to fish, they can also eat eggs and fried chicken.
Then, before winter comes again, they take a raft to the waters of the southern hemisphere...
Yao Ruoyun was looking forward to such a life very much, but somehow, she always had a bad feeling in her heart, as if the best thing she had wanted most since she was a child would never belong to her.
Because she was worried, she didn't feel sleepy at all during the journey. She kept her original posture without moving, so that Shu Fu could sleep more peacefully.

Two o'clock in the morning, upstream of Yinsha River.
The night was as dark as ink. When the last survivor walked down from the deck and onto the land, the raft that had been quietly anchored there slowly turned around and sailed away along the rapid current of the Yinsha River, gradually blending into the dark night.
This place is already over 2,800 meters above sea level. The waves that had been chasing the raft had disappeared long ago, and the water of the Yinsha River flows normally in this area.
The survivors were all very sleepy, even though many of them told themselves to stay alert and not sleep. This was probably because the raft was sailing very smoothly, the glass balcony was sheltered from rain and wind, or perhaps it was because they knew there was an elite team guarding the deck below.
So in the end, many people fell asleep, and when they woke up again, the raft had already reached the shore.
It was dark all around, and the only sound I could hear was the sound of rain falling on the river, mixed with the sound of flowing water.
Everyone panicked and left the glass balcony and returned to the rear deck.
The team members and some rescue workers did not go to the balcony, but sat in the car on the deck to avoid the rain. When Shu Fu and Yao Ruoyun followed the survivors over, Liu Shuangcheng met them and they had already set Dari County, more than ten kilometers away, as the destination through the navigation on the satellite phone, and planned the route there.
"The stop location is a bit remote, so we have to take a detour to get there. This time the ambulance will go first, and the other walkers will follow the armored vehicle. If all goes well, we can reach the Dari County rescue station before dawn. If you have any questions, you can ask them now." Cheng Yu said as he put on his windbreaker and gloves again.
After hearing this, everyone realized that they had arrived at the safe border of Xizhou Province, and the nearest rescue station was more than ten kilometers away. How could they have any objections? They all shook their heads.
"Okay, let's go." Liu Shuang nodded and began to signal everyone to line up to land.
On the other side, Wen Yi settled the three seriously injured people in the ambulance, got out of the car and talked to the captain of the rescue team.
She seemed to want to arrange for two more lightly injured people who had difficulty walking to get on the ambulance so that they could go to Dari County first.
But the rescue team leader thought about it and signaled her to follow the car, because several medical staff in the team had not been able to escape, and she was the only one who knew how to rescue. If the condition of the seriously injured people changed on the way, she could take immediate action.
Wen Yi was about to nod, but in an instant, she froze in place as if she had been electrocuted.
The rescue team leader called her twice. Shu Fu happened to be nearby and subconsciously looked back, then she was also stunned.
The female rescue team member named Wen Yi actually had a white light bar appearing above her head. And it was not still flickering like Liu Shuang and Han Lan, but was completely stable.
The value above is: 29.
This is a new type of value, higher than those of several psychics seen before, but not that high.
She didn't know if Wen Yi was a related person in her mission. Compared with Zheng Feifei and Chen Fa, the other party seemed far less related to her. But the speed at which her superpowers appeared - or the speed at which she awakened - was much faster than the people related to the mission.
She and the other party have been in the same tunnel these days. She has seen the flashing light bars of Liu Shuang and Han Lan, but has never seen the white light bar appear above Wen Yi's head. She saw it for the first time today and found that he has awakened!
What's the difference?
Shu Fu thought back to what had happened before, and always felt that her previous limited guesses about the white light bar and its value were about to be overturned by herself.
Wen Yi froze for a full minute, but she was smart and didn't rashly say anything or take any action because of the sudden change. She tried to suppress the shock in her heart, looked back at the rescue captain who was questioning her, and then pulled the corners of her pale lips, saying that she felt a little uncomfortable just now, but now she is fine, and immediately went to follow the car.
The captain of the rescue team gave her a few more instructions, then handed her a walkie-talkie and said that they would call her when they arrived in Dari County.
Wen Yi took the walkie-talkie, put it into the waterproof backpack, then turned around, followed the slowly moving ambulance, and went down the deck.
Shu Fu could see that she was still a little dazed and absent-minded, and she looked to her left and right from time to time, as if she wanted to know if anyone was paying attention to her.
Shu Fu quickly looked away. She guessed that the other party must have accidentally called up the panel, and then checked to see if others could see it.
A very smart and low-key girl who knows how to protect herself.
Shu Fu didn't observe her anymore. He followed Liu Shuang and the others, got off the raft, and after everyone landed, he took something out of his backpack in the corner and started the automatic drifting mode of the raft on the map panel.
Then, everyone saw the raft automatically leave the shore and blend into the night.
It was not until all of them had left the river bank and walked several dozen meters away that Shu Fu quietly touched the bracelet and took back the raft.
The ambulance had already driven away. The team member in the co-pilot seat was holding a map to ensure that his driving companion would not get lost. On the paper map were the marks that Wenrou had just drawn. That was the route that Cheng Yu, Liu Shuang and the others had planned before.
The armored vehicle then started walking with the rest of the people. This time, the vehicle led the way and turned on the headlights to illuminate the road clearly for the people behind.
The survivor pulled up his hood and moved his sore legs again, trying to keep up. Probably because the altitude here is relatively high, not long after landing, everyone felt that walking was much more tiring than during the day, and they were panting a little, so they could only slow down their pace.
Shu Fu's legs were also very sore, probably because she had slept for a while and the aftereffects of walking dozens of kilometers during the day had set in. At this moment, both of her legs didn't feel like her own.
However, when the armored vehicle in front turned around a mountain road, Shu Fu quickly discovered that even if she wanted to continue walking, she could not move forward.
The mountain road was not narrow, with gentle slopes on both sides, but she had no way to move forward in the middle of the road or on the slope. The barrier was a long horizontal line running from north to south, parallel to the Yinsha River.
She guessed that this was the real border between Xiangzhou Province and Xizhou Province.
"Senior sister..." Yao Ruoyun took her hand and looked back at her. When she met Shu Fu's gaze, she quickly understood.
Her eyes turned red instantly. Although she knew this moment would come, when she really faced it, she still found it a little hard to accept.
"Shh." Shu Fu gestured gently, pulled the other person towards herself, then leaned over and hugged her.
Yao Ruoyun understood and immediately stopped talking, holding back the words she wanted to say and the tears she wanted to shed. She just hugged her and nodded "yeah", indicating that she knew everything. Her parents were in Zhicheng, and she had to go, so she would not say that she wanted to stay with her.
Shu Fu didn't take back the satellite phone that she had given her before, so they could keep in touch in the future. In addition to Shu Fu's number, the phone also had Lu Zheng and Zheng Feifei's numbers saved. When she arrived in Zhicheng, she would find a way to contact Zheng Feifei.
If she had the chance to meet the other person, she would give the other person a handful of fireworks sticks that Shu Fu had placed in her supply box, and tell her that she did not break the appointment on purpose, that she remembered it, but that they would need more time to meet.
The two stood at the edge of the mountain road and hugged each other. Although other survivors glanced at them when they passed by, they just thought they were tired, so they just glanced at them and passed them.
Soon, the last survivor was ahead of them.
Yao Ruoyun was finally able to lower her voice and say a few words to her: "Are you leaving like this?"
"Well, there's a river over there, very convenient."
"But the mountain road is very dark."
"Don't worry, I'm not afraid. Remember, follow Liu Shuang and the others, and don't fall behind." Shu Fu patted her arm, "Go quickly."
Yao Ruoyun shook her head: "No, you go first, I'll watch you go."
Shu Fu had no choice but to turn around first. However, she had only taken a few steps when she heard a familiar voice coming from not far behind her: "You heartless little girl, you are planning to disappear quietly again!"
Shu Fu turned around suddenly, and Yao Ruoyun was also looking back with a look of shock.
On the mountain road not far away, in addition to Han Lan who spoke, Liu Shuang was also there, and behind them, Cheng Yu was also walking slowly.
