Chapter 35 Fever
The cellar has been quiet for a long time, and no sound from outside can be heard.
What's the situation now?
Su Xiao noticed that it was already 8 o'clock.
Starting from the first day, except for special progress situations, there will be notification sounds at 8 pm, 12 am, and 8 am.
But I didn't hear it today.
He immediately said: "Xiaomo, open the communication center."
After saying this, Su Xiao realized that something was wrong. Things were not that simple!
After Xiaomo was shut down, the communication center of the safe house would not be opened, so she could not hear any notifications. She was not even sure whether it was because Xiaomo had no energy that the safe house had no sound insulation and she could hear the thunder.
But fortunately the portal is still there.
Su Xiao was teleported to the fishing boat. He didn't know when the fishing boat had drifted to a faraway place on the river with the wind, and it was completely dark.
“Crash——”
Accompanied by thunder, white lightning struck the surface of the river, and one could even see light blue lightning on the surface of the river.
The oppressive feeling of doomsday is stronger than the day the hurricane hit.
The wind speed reached level 6, the boat was shaking, cold wind rushed in, penetrating Su Xiao's heart, goose bumps kept appearing on her arms, she even began to wonder whether the safe house would lose its safety protection effect as Xiaomo lost energy.
But this worry is unnecessary, the safe house is absolutely safe.
Xiaomo is an excellent housekeeper. Xiaomo, who has energy, can save the survivors a lot of trouble, even if these survivors do not notice the existence of the trouble.
Every failure makes you wiser. She can't leave Xiaomo for a moment. She will be more careful next time.
The wind blew, and in the dark night, when there was no thunder, there was only the sound of rain. Su Xiao was stunned for a moment.
She must have seen it right. There was a treasure chest on the river?
In the dark night, the treasure chests floating on the river stand out, as if attracting survivors to pick them up.
Su Xiao looked around and found that except for her own safe house, the other survivors' safe houses were not invisible. However, she did not see any other ships approaching nearby.
Fortunately, the electronic map has not expired, and now we can move the ship with the help of the wind.
Su Xiao turned off automatic navigation and controlled the ship manually.
The fishing boat was drifting towards the box at a speed of 10 meters per second.
“Crash——”
Another huge thunder and lightning sounded.
The lightning that fell on the river surface spread to the west. Just as Su Xiao left the boat awning and walked onto the deck, there was another thunder above his head. The rain poured down on Su Xiao, and his clothes were instantly soaked.
Just as Su Xiao was about to bend down, he heard a rumbling sound above his head.
wrong!
Quickly get back into the cabin.
"Crash--" The dazzling lightning fell on the deck, exactly where Su Xiao had just stood.
Su Xiao's heart beat faster, as if beating a drum.
That was a close call.
I was almost struck by lightning.
The reason she realized the danger was that she was instantly soaked by the rain when she stood on the deck, which made her suddenly realize that the deck of the fishing boat was not a sheltered area, otherwise she would not be in any danger, including the rain.
Therefore, only the places on the hull of this fishing boat that are covered can provide safety and shelter.
In addition, the basic space of a fishing boat is only 4, and if the deck is included, it is more than 4, which further proves that my guess is correct.
I just didn't expect that the safe house would have such a trap.
Moreover, the lightning came too suddenly, and Jian's head seemed to be aimed at her.
The strangest thing was that there was a layer of light blue flowing light on the white treasure chest, which she had not noticed the night before.
“Crash——”
Another bolt of lightning struck.
This time Su Xiao saw it clearly. After the lightning fell into the river, it spread along the overflowing river water and finally gathered on the treasure chest. It was obvious that it was conductive.
The treasure chest now seems to have become a trap. Will I be killed if I try to pick it up?
Su Xiao was extremely alert.
It's just a white treasure chest, she doesn't need it.
She would not gamble even if the probability was one in ten thousand. Just now, she made a bet and Xiaomo was shut down. Now she dare not be a gambler.
Just as I was about to go back to the cellar to wipe my wet hair and change my clothes, I heard an electronic sound of "beep, beep, beep".
I almost thought it was a notification.
“Ding ding ding—”
Su Xiao looked towards the source of the sound and realized it was a satellite receiving device.
Quickly walk over, take out the device, and click the receive button.
There was a loud "hissing" sound from the first helicopter, and then there was the voice of a strange man.
"Hello, this is the Alliance Search and Rescue Center. I don't know what your name is. According to the agreement between the Alliance and you, we have found Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang. They fled into the cellar at the time. The exit of the cellar was blocked, but they still have vital signs and are slightly injured. They are now in a coma."
There was thunder and lightning over there too.
It happened so fast, and they are still rescuing people. The scene of them rescuing people in the rain automatically emerged in my mind.
Su Xiao thought for a moment and asked, "Will lightning strike you specifically when you are on land?"
It was rude, but she wanted to know.
The other party didn't expect Su Xiao to ask such a strange question. After a long pause, he replied, "It is indeed a thunderstorm now, but we are very careful about protection and are still insisting on rescue. In addition to Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang, there are other victims. But the higher-ups have issued an important task, and they asked us to contact you first after finding Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang."
That is to say, on land, lightning did not specifically strike innocent survivors.
But the thunder just now was indeed coming towards her.
It is not possible to confirm whether the risk of being struck by lightning during a thunderstorm only occurs during a thunderstorm or only targets survivors bound to the safe house.
Just as he was thinking about it, a leaf boat appeared in front of Su Xiao's fishing boat. It had a strange shape, and a corner of the curled treetops just blocked the thunderstorm.
It's like a leaf safe house, and you can't see the people inside.
After observing quietly, I saw a survivor, wrapped tightly in a raincoat and a mask, coming out.
The man lay on the boat and tried to touch the treasure chest. The moment his hand touched the treasure chest, dazzling lightning struck.
“Crash——”
Su Xiao closed his eyes subconsciously, and when he opened them again, the red raincoat had been burnt to pieces. The other person fell into the river with smoke all over his body, floating on the water on his back like a dead fish. His face was black, and his hair was burnt so that it was still impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman. There was a leaf-shaped toy on his body.
A red dot appeared in front of the fishing boat's electronic map, meaning there was an unbound safe house ahead.
Su Xiao: ...
This damn doomsday game has traps every day, and they’re different every time. It’s really cheap.
He took the communication device and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Please take good care of them for me. Contact No. 1349 and tell her that I will meet her at the old place at 10 am tomorrow."
Only after the other party replied "received" did Su Xiao cut off the communication.
From 6 o'clock to 8 o'clock, it's only 2 hours.
It’s not so much that the alliance was fast, but rather that they organized a professional rescue team in the capital, Kyoto, to carry out the rescue, so they found them so quickly.
Su Xiao was about to return to the cellar when she was attacked by a chill. The chill reached her body and made her shiver.
It's so cold.
I touched my forehead and it seemed like I had a fever again.
