Chapter 144 The Last Piece of Land
The night is deep and the moderate rain outside turned into heavy rain after this evening. Although the thunderstorm has not started in Zhashui County yet, it is not far away.
Zheng Feifei walked in the second place, following Chen Yuezhen in front closely, holding her mother's hand tightly with one hand.
The rain outside was noisy, but she could still hear her heart beating, thump, thump, thump, fast and heavy, as if someone was hitting her chest with a hammer. This was her second desperate escape in a short period of time.
But compared to the last time, the situation this time is much more dangerous.
They climbed out from the window of the stairwell between the third and second floors. The corridor of the entire building was covered with blood, which was maliciously spilled by the thugs. Several doors had traces of burning, and some were broken open, leaving the house open. The inside was turned upside down, and human legs and feet could be seen lying on the ground when passing by.
Some doors were not broken open and successfully withstood the wave of chaos, but at this moment they were all closed. There was no movement at all, as if in deathly silence.
They originally wanted to go down one more flight of stairs and climb out through the window of the stairwell connecting the second floor to the first floor, but the closer they got to the first floor, the more blood there was on the stairs, and there were even human body parts and pieces of flesh on the steps leading down from the second floor.
Zhang Tian and Wu Shaoshan, who had never seen such a scene before, almost vomited.
Chen Yuezhen stopped in time, raised the fire axe in his hand, and began to remove the guardrail on the stairwell window.
In addition to Chen Fa, who was holding a gun and using a scope to monitor the surrounding situation, the others also had tools that could be used as weapons in their hands, and they all went up to join Chen Yuezhen.
Everyone was very nervous, especially Zhang Tian and Wu Shaoshan. Everything that happened in the past two days was like a terrible nightmare. If possible, they really wanted to hide in the house, close the doors and windows, and not listen or watch.
But they knew that this was not the ordinary small-scale chaos of the past, and continuing to hide would only become more and more dangerous.
If they want to leave this town alive, they must cheer up. Fortunately, they are not alone, they have stronger companions, and Shu Fu is there to pick them up.
The window was quickly pried open, and Chen Yuezhen took the ladder handed over by Chen Fa and fixed it in place. Chen Fa held the gun and looked around through the scope, signaling that they could go down.
Chen Yuezhen immediately flipped out of the window and was the first to reach the ground successfully. After him, it was Zheng Feifei and her daughter, Zhang Tian and Wu Shaoshan.
Zheng's mother was old, and her hands and feet were not as flexible as Chen Yuezhen's. She was also very nervous, and the ladder was difficult to climb. When she started to climb down, she missed a step, lost her grip, and slid down.
On the windowsill, Wu Shaoshan, who had half of her body leaned out, was quick-witted and grabbed her. Together with Zheng Feifei, who was below Zheng's mother, who also supported her mother in time, Zheng's mother in the middle was able to stabilize herself again.
"I'm sorry..." After landing safely, Zheng's mother lowered her voice and spoke with great guilt. She always felt that she was holding others back. While blaming herself, she couldn't help but look at Zheng Feifei. During the day and night of being trapped, she had already told her daughter that if it really came to the last resort, she would let her leave herself alone and escape on her own.
For her, as long as her daughter can escape safely, nothing will happen to her.
But Zheng Feifei told her that she had already lost her father and could not live without her mother. She was a superpower now and she had a raft. As long as she left here, she could live on the water. That was a brand new future and she must be in that future.
"We've done a great job. We are a team. No need to apologize." Chen Yuezhen grabbed Zheng's mother and pulled her behind her, motioning her to follow closely.
"Thank you!" Zheng Feifei said to Chen Yuezhen, then turned around and said thank you to Wu Shaoshan who had just landed on the ground.
Wu Shaoshan nodded at her and didn't say much.
Although they had only known each other for two days, what happened in those two days made them quickly become a team, and they developed a tacit understanding and trust with each other.
After everyone landed safely, everyone started moving again.
This time, Chen Yuezhen walked in front with Zheng's mother, while the three girls, Zheng Feifei, Wu Shaoshan and Zhang Tian, took care of each other in the middle, and Chen Fa still stayed behind.
She had to make sure that everyone was within her sight so that when an accident happened, she could eliminate the "accident" for them in time.
As expected, although the alley was on the inside of the building, there were still patients with ichthyosis wandering in there. When they were turning to the parking lot at the back, a patient who was originally half-squatting in the shadows suddenly pounced on them.
Zhang Tian wanted to scream, but she remembered Wu Shaoshan's reminder and immediately pressed her mask with her hand before she screamed.
At the same time, there was a dull puffing sound, and Chen Fa's bullet had hit the patient's head directly. He didn't make any movement and fell backwards silently.
Chen Fa took a step forward and lowered his voice: "Go on, just go ahead, I'm here and won't let them get close to you."
So, everyone quickened their pace again, jogging in the heavy rain following Chen Yuezhen. On the way, they met two more terrifying patients, but without exception, they were killed by Chen Fa before they could get close to them.
They finally arrived at where the car was parked. The car was a modified off-road vehicle with iron bars on the windows. This was specially installed by someone after Chen Fa rented it.
The car window was not damaged, but one of the tires was blown out. Fortunately, she had all kinds of repair tools in her backpack.
She quickly took out the intact spare tire and, with the help of Zhang Tian, Wu Shaoshan and Zheng Feifei, quickly replaced the tire.
After everyone got in the car, they heard the sound of horns and cars driving faintly on the nearby streets. Those thugs promoting evolution were coming again, and they had to leave quickly!
Chen Yuezhen started the car quickly without turning on the lights. Zheng Feifei turned the phone towards Chen Yuezhen. There was a navigation map on the screen. With her immediate directions, the car started quickly and rushed into the heavy rain.
**
At 10:10, the raft had turned around at the river bank and was moored with its side close to the edge of the river bank. Shu Fu changed the house type to a villa with a large rear deck, went up to the third-floor terrace, held up a telescope, and checked the direction of the road.
There are no particularly tall buildings in the south of Zhashui County. In addition, the chaos has lasted for two days, so the area around the river bank is now quiet. Several doors and windows of the few buildings nearby have been blown open. It is pitch black inside, without any movement, and it is impossible to tell whether there are still people inside.
Soon, at the end of the road, car lights came on dimly. At the same time, Shu Fu's phone rang. It was Zheng Feifei calling.
"Shu Fu, we're almost there!"
"Yeah, I think I saw you guys." Shu Fu held the phone and continued to look through the telescope. The car that appeared at the end of the road was driving very fast. In just two sentences, she had already seen the front of the car. "Is it a dark-colored reinforced off-road vehicle?"
"Yes!" Along with Zheng Feifei's voice, there was a faint sound of phone calls coming from the other end.
Shu Fu remembered that Chen Fa's gun was a high-tech weapon. Although it was slow to fire, it could aim automatically and would automatically silence itself when firing.
So, this shouldn’t be Chen Fa’s interruption.
She immediately understood their current situation, "Is there a car following us?"
"Well, there's more than one! They're like crazy people. Chen Fa has already hit the tire of a car and overturned it, but it attracted other cars. Now there are two cars following us. They took another road parallel to ours and have been following us all the time!"
"It's okay, keep driving. When you see the villa raft parked on the river bank, drive directly towards the fence on the rear deck. I have already parked the raft, and the deck fence will automatically drop down."
Shu Fu explained the details again, "Remember, the rafts are moored facing east. You are going to board the first large raft, not the small one at the back. After you get on, the raft will leave the shore immediately. You get off from the other side of the car and use the body of the car as cover to get to the raft at the back. There is a small wooden building on the raft at the back. Everyone, get in the small building!"
On the other end, Zheng Feifei had turned on the loudspeaker of her cell phone so that Chen Yuezhen and others could hear her words clearly at the same time.
Although no one quite understood what the raft villa and small building were, and how these things could be put together, Shu Fu's tone was serious and solemn, so they subconsciously tried to remember each other's instructions.
They were discovered and chased by thugs halfway. Wu Shaoshan, who was sitting on the far left in the back row, was injured. Her shoulder was grazed by a bullet and she bled a lot.
The four people in the back seat of the car were huddled up at this moment, avoiding the range of the car glass. The rear windshield of the SUV had been shattered, and heavy rain was pouring in. The car was in a mess, strong winds were howling outside the broken windows, and thunder was exploding in the distant night sky.
They drove fast all the way, as if they were driving on the border between life and death.
Chen Fa lay on the car seat in reverse, leaning against the backrest of the rear seat, with the gun in his hand resting on the back of the car. He stared at the sight motionlessly in the pouring rain, observing his surroundings. Whenever he saw the pursuing car show up, he would open fire without hesitation.
However, she had overturned one of the other cars, and at this moment the other cars were very cunning, using the terrain to try to outflank them.
Chen Yuezhen had turned on all the car lights and high beams. They had been discovered and there was no need to keep a low profile. The bright beams of light lit up the road on the rainy night. Chen Yuezhen could vaguely see the river bank. She stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and drove at lightning speed.
When they were 200 meters away from the river bank, they still didn't see any rafts or villas on the shore.
"Why is there nothing?" Zhang Tian looked out and suddenly panicked, "Did I take the wrong road?"
"No, she said she has seen us." Zheng Feifei looked forward again, taking in the entire riverbank that had appeared in her field of vision. At the same time, everyone in the car once again heard the crazy shouting and laughter that spread through the horn in the heavy rain.
That was the howling of the desperadoes. They were getting closer and closer to them, just on another road nearby. There were buildings and trees blocking the way, so Chen Fa couldn't hit them.
"What should we do?" Zhang Tian held Wu Shaoshan's hand tightly, her heart almost jumping out of her chest with nervousness.
When the car was only a hundred meters away from the river bank, Zheng Feifei suddenly saw a large raft appear on the river bank.
Just like Shu Fu said, it was a villa raft!
"There!" she gestured to Chen Yuezhen.
Chen Yuezhen had also seen it, but she did not slow down and continued to rush towards the rear deck.
At this moment, the people in the car need to have absolute trust in Shu Fu. If they don't have trust, normal people will subconsciously slow down when they see the river bank and the dark river surface with surging waves, and they are likely to be caught up by other cars.
But Chen Yuezhen trusted Shu Fu 100%, and would follow her instructions even if she didn't understand.
Therefore, she did not slow down and rushed straight towards the fence of the rear deck of the villa. Then, when she was about to hit it, she braked suddenly and spun the car around, turning the front of the car and crashing into the fence.
Amid the screams of others in the car, the fence quickly dropped and disappeared before the car body hit it. The SUV spun and drifted onto the deck. The tires spun twice on the spot, producing a puff of white smoke, before finally stopping with a bang.
Almost at the same moment the car stopped, the deck railing rose again, and the raft immediately left the shore and headed east along the river in the night.
Shu Fu had already turned on the portable protective shield. She put away the map panel, rushed down the stairs, and rushed towards the car.
At this time, a series of gunshots came from the shore, some of which hit the raft fence, and the other part hit the right side of the off-road vehicle. Shu Fu was standing on that side, but the protective shield he carried with him blocked everything.
She didn't expect the pursuers to arrive so soon. At this moment, Chen Fa and the others had not checked in yet, and the raft's protective shield could not be opened because everyone had to pass through to the raft at the back, and she didn't dare to increase the drifting speed too fast.
For a moment, the raft could not get out of the range, and the enemy's bullet fire was too dense, so the people on the car could not get off at all.
She slammed the car door and yelled to the people inside: "Don't get out yet! I'll take them one by one!"
Chen Fa immediately understood what she meant. She wanted to use her protective shield to protect them one by one to the raft at the back. She immediately spoke and repeated Shu Fu's words, and at the same time told everyone to take off their masks, goggles, gloves and outer clothes and throw them on the car.
Afterwards, Chen Fa clenched the gun tightly and began looking for an opportunity to fight back. Even though she knew that with Shu Fu there, no one else would be hit, she did not intend to hold back on the people on the other side.
These perverts, get rid of them one by one if possible!
Everyone in the car crouched down, hid in places inside the car where bullets could not reach, helped each other, and quickly took off their clothes and masks.
Shu Fu walked around to the left side of the car, opened the back door, and took the lead in hugging the person sitting at the edge.
The person was Wu Shaoshan. She was startled by Shu Fu's "passionate hug". She hadn't seen her for so long. Did he miss her so much?
"Get out of the car and go!" Shu Fu didn't have time to explain at this time, she just told the other party to hold her tightly.
Wu Shaoshan walked two steps with her in her arms and soon understood. Because she didn't feel the rain, she guessed that Shu Fu had some kind of protection.
The two of them walked through the hail of bullets, and Shu Fu escorted her all the way into the small hotel building on the raft behind.
Inside the door, Jiang Dai, who had been waiting there since early morning, had already come to greet him.
"Her shoulder is injured. Go take care of it after she checks in." Shu Fu said to Jiang Dai.
"I understand!" Jiang Dai responded, and carefully pulled her to exchange the wristband on the plane.
The others were also waiting near the redemption machine and the counter. They had even prepared the supplies they needed to exchange for raft points. They were just waiting for her to enter her biometric information and then immediately stuffed the supplies in their hands into the metal door.
Wu Shaoshan was confused the whole time. She just felt that Jiang Dai was leading her around, and soon a dark brown wristband appeared on her wrist.
Finally, she was taken to the counter, where a boy of about fourteen or fifteen was standing. He greeted her first, then explained to her that there were only double rooms available and she had to wait for the next person to come in and check in together.
Wu Shaoshan: ???
On the other side, Shu Fu quickly protected Zhang Tian and rushed across the deck, pushing her into the hotel building.
After that, it was Zheng's mother.
By the time she was about to transfer Chen Yuezhen, the raft had gradually moved out of the bullet range of the shore.
But things didn't end so quickly, because Chen Fa saw several thugs got on the car again and planned to continue chasing along the river bank. They looked more excited than before because they had discovered that there were two rafts coming to pick them up.
He is actually a mutant!
And they are two people with special abilities!
For them, killing the mutant would destroy their raft, and then a large amount of supplies originally hidden in the house would explode.
The houses on these two rafts look extremely high-end, and the supplies inside must be very rich!
Shu Fu didn't pay attention to the situation on the shore for the time being. To her, the most important thing was Chen Fa and the other six people. As long as they all checked into the hotel, they would be truly safe.
Thanks to the cooperation of their friends in the hotel, the six people checked in quickly and confusedly without knowing what was going on. On the other deck, Shu Fu had temporarily put the tattered off-road vehicle into a compressed display cabinet.
Inside the door of the hotel building, Jiang Dai called out to her, indicating that everyone had become a hotel guest.
Shu Fu nodded. She glanced at the cars that were chasing the raft on the shore and immediately opened the raft's protective cover.
In an instant, the two rafts became invisible to outsiders on the wide river. The chasing car quickly stopped, and those who didn't know what was going on got out of the car and fired wildly at the river in front of them.
At this time, Shu Fu had already adjusted the raft's drifting speed to the highest 100. The raft accelerated instantly and quickly moved away from the territory of Zhashui County.
She removed the protective shield she was carrying with her, went back into the house, changed the house back to its original shape, and then reset the destination. The destination was the lake where she and Yao Ruoyun had separated. The entire journey was nearly 600 kilometers, and she would arrive in six hours.
**
In the rest area on the second floor of the hotel, several people who had just become guests of the hotel were sitting there to rest. They held the hot water that Lu Zheng brought from the apartment nearby, drank it slowly, and slowly came back to their senses.
There were too many excitements tonight, and Chen Fa and Chen Yuezhen recovered quickly. However, after they came to their senses, they found that they were in Lu Zheng’s raft cabin. They were immediately shocked and started a new round of recovery.
After Jiang Dai treated Wu Shaoshan's wound, she helped her down from the room upstairs. Yue Dong and several others were not idle either. They took the basins of hot water and clean towels that Lu Ce brought out from the residence, wrung out the hot towels and handed them to them one by one, indicating that everyone should wipe their faces and hands.
Zheng Feifei and her daughter, Zhang Tian and Wu Shaoshan all met Lu Zheng and his friends for the first time. To them, everything around them, whether it was the clean wooden building with lights on or the people around them, was unfamiliar.
Although they all showed concern and kindness, they had just finished a race with death and everyone was tense and couldn't relax for a while until the person they were all familiar with appeared at the stairs.
"Shu Fu——" Zheng Feifei rushed over and hugged her tightly.
"It's okay, everything is safe. Not only is it safe now, but it will be safe every day from now on." She patted Zheng Feifei's back gently, turned her head to look at Chen Fa and Chen Yuezhen on the sofa, and then at Wu Shaoshan and Zhang Tian on the other side.
Fortunately, everyone was still alive, and no one was missing. She finally completed this thousand-mile retrograde plan.
Ten minutes later, after listening to Shu Fu's brief narration, everyone couldn't help but start looking around the small building they were in.
As they looked around, Shu Fu was also looking at them.
As expected, in addition to Zheng Feifei, Zhang Tian also awakened. A fixed white light bar appeared above her head, followed by a value: 75.
This was the highest-rated awakener she had ever seen who was not within the towing range of the Drifting Island House.
It’s actually a bit of a pity, because the distance that can be towed is only 5 away.
What surprised her even more was Wu Shaoshan. She originally thought that she was the only non-superpower person among everyone, but after she briefly described the situation of the raft, a flashing white light bar suddenly appeared above the other person's head, and the progress had reached three quarters.
Although the number has not appeared yet and disappeared after a few seconds, it is obvious that she is also a mutant who is about to awaken!
Shu Fu did not go into great detail about the raft. After all, there were too many details that needed to be explained, and those details involved many secrets that could not be explained clearly in a short time.
So, she just told everyone that she and Lu Zheng were also people with special abilities, and that his raft was a little special and could be opened to people other than the raft owner and his family.
Now they are all guests of the inn, so they can be sheltered by the raft, but staying in the inn requires points, and the points are exchanged for supplies.
Wu Shaoshan was the first to respond: "Is the Doomsday Hotel open?"
Shu Fu couldn't help but praise: "Very good summary!"
"So where are we going now?" Zhang Tian asked softly. She remembered that she also had a raft, but because she had just awakened, she had not taken it out to study it carefully. At this moment, she couldn't help but feel excited.
"Let's leave here first and meet up with another friend." As for the rest, they would return to the waters and tow Chen Fa and Zheng Feifei's raft. But it was already late, and Chen Fa and the others hadn't slept for two days and two nights, so the most urgent thing was to get them back to their rooms, clean up, and rest.
Currently, the six of them are staying in double rooms.
Chen Fa and Chen Yuezhen live in room 303 on the third floor, Zheng Feifei and her mother live in room 203 on the second floor, and Zhang Tian and Wu Shaoshan live in room 204 opposite Zheng Feifei.
Shu Fu said that she had extended the use time of the electricity card, so they could go back to the room with peace of mind, take a good shower, change clothes and rest. The inside of the hotel was absolutely safe, so they could sleep peacefully, and the hotel owner would notify them again when they arrived at their destination.
"There is electricity and water here?" Zheng's mother was very surprised.
"Yes, there is a water tank on the terrace of our hotel. It contains clean filtered water, which can be drunk after boiling. However, the water supply is limited, so please try not to waste it." Lu Ce responded, looking like a hotel operator. "Today's situation is special. The usual hotel electricity usage time notice and other accommodation rules have been posted at the counter on the first floor. You can check it out when you have time... Currently, the hotel has limited staff, and the cleaning of the room is the responsibility of the guests..."
There was too much information and it was too complicated. Mother Zheng nodded in a daze. Zheng Feifei greeted Shu Fu and the others and took Mother Zheng back to her room. Their room was next to the rest area on the second floor and it was just a few steps away.
Afterwards, Zhang Tian and Wu Shaoshan also went back to Room 204 to rest. After using their wristbands to open the room, they let out another suppressed exclamation, obviously shocked by the conditions of the hotel room.
Only Chen Fa and Chen Yuezhen were left in the rest area.
"Grandma—" Shu Fu took a few steps forward and hugged them both, "...FaFa."
Chen Fa wanted to hide. Although she took off her coat and mask, she had been busy in Zhashui County for several days and had no chance to take a shower. But Shu Fu obviously didn't care. So, she finally reached out and caught her.
"This side is too difficult!" Shu Fu sighed.
"Good things take time, girl!" Chen Yuezhen touched her head lovingly.
On the side, several other people also came forward and patted Chen Fa on the shoulder. Their backbone - the captain has finally returned to the team!
Shu Fu knew that Chen Fa and the others were also tired, so she didn't chat with them for long. After sending them back to their room on the third floor, she briefly talked about the trailer, told her about the bond value and Zhang Tian's situation, and gave Chen Fa several options in advance: the breeding house, the convenience store, and the milk tea shop.
Chen Fa nodded: "Sure enough, your raft is the most special one - the manager's raft."
"I can see that the architectural styles and functions of the different suits are quite different. You can think about it slowly. Anyway, we still have a lot of time. We can start towing after we leave the land and return to the water."
"Okay." Chen Fa sent Shu Fu to the door of the room, and when she turned around to leave, he called her again.
"What? Why are you looking at me with such a touching expression?" Shu Fu smiled. "Are you going to say something cheesy, Fafa?"
Chen Fa's scalp numbed by her shouting. After they met today, she kept shouting "Fa Fa Fa Fa" non-stop.
She knew she did it on purpose, but she was still moved and they had met again after a long time, so she couldn't get angry. So she reached out and pinched Shu Fu's cheek, telling her to go back and rest.
"See you later, FaFa!"
"See you later, Xiaofu."
**
Six hours later, the drifting island house towing the hotel's raft once again passed through the long underground river and arrived at the lake 600 kilometers away on time. Because the owner of the raft did not set a new itinerary, the raft began to drift independently in a small range.
It was a little after four in the morning. There was heavy rain on the lake and it was pitch black. Inside the protective shield, everyone was still fast asleep.
On the other side of the lake, Yao Ruoyun's planting raft was docked on the shore.
Although the raft's protective shield was open at the moment, it was suddenly closed for a period of time, causing the raft's whereabouts to be discovered by the team temporarily stationed on the shore. Therefore, even if the protective shield was opened again later, the existence of the raft had already been known to the people on the shore.
Of course, if the other person is someone she doesn't know at all, even if the intermediate protective shield is shut down, she and others just need to stay in the house and not show up.
But when the protective cover was shut down, she had just finished checking the glass greenhouse and was walking across the deck to go back to the house when she suddenly felt heavy rain. Yao Ruoyun, who was soaked like a drowned chicken, was stunned on the deck for a while, thinking that the sharing function of the trailer had failed. She was shocked and then realized that the protective cover on Shu Fu's side must have been temporarily shut down.
There were rumbling thunders over the lake. She was about to hide in the house when she suddenly heard a flashlight flash on the shore.
Someone saw her and was using a flashlight to warn her!
Yao Ruoyun turned her head and saw several car lights lighting up one by one on the originally dark shore, illuminating a tall figure standing on the shore.
Cheng Yu turned off the high-powered flashlight in his hand and slowly moved the telescope away from his eyes.
In a military jeep behind him, Liu Shuang and Han Lan also opened the doors on both sides and got out of the car in the rain, their eyes fixed directly in her direction, with shock and astonishment on their faces.
Yao Ruoyun was caught off guard: ...
