After that, Bai Shuang and the others sailed north again.
Of course, diving is safer than driving, but after a long time, you will inevitably feel suffocated, and it's not good to not see the sun underwater.
Later, the waves gradually subsided, and Bai Shuang decided that as long as there were no major waves, she would surface during the day, open the top cover, and drive in the sunlight.
Two weeks later, they finally arrived at the temperate sea area. The first thing they needed to do was to choose a relatively stable place with few underwater reefs to stay in temporarily.
Bai Jiu and Xiao Zhao were piloting the submarine, while Xiao Yang and Wang Bin were using ultrasonic instruments to measure the underwater conditions. They spotted a small boat floating on the sea not far away.
The small boat seemed to float on the water on purpose, drifting with the current, without deliberately heading in that direction.
They paid no attention to it and continued searching for calm waters, but after traveling for a while, they discovered that the small boat was being tossed about by the sea and was also heading in the same direction.
Xiao Zhao said, "Could they be after us?"
Lu Yu: "Let's go take a look."
We must eliminate all disruptive factors.
Lu Yu said to Bai Shuang, "You go back to your room first."
Lu Yu was fulfilling his duty as a guard, and he tried his best to keep Bai Shuang away from any unknown dangers.
Once the outer shell of the submarine cabin is opened, it is actually just the four walls and the roof, which retract like a roller shutter, making the whole house resemble a yacht.
Then, they sailed the submarine cabin toward the small boat to see what was going on.
"Miss, look what that is?"
Bai Jiu's habitual shout.
Lu Yu glanced at him, and Bai Jiu realized his mistake. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have called for Miss when I needed something."
Upon hearing Bai Jiu's voice, Bai Shuang walked outside.
"What's the matter?"
Lu Yu: "Don't come out yet, let us confirm this first."
They moved closer to the small boat, and only when they were sure there were no more living people on board did they call out to Bai Lu.
She stood on the roof of her submarine house, looking at the horrific corpses on the small boat.
"Died of thirst."
There were seven or eight corpses lying on the small boat. Their eyeballs had fallen out, their skin was severely wrinkled, and their lips were cracked. It was clear from the corpses that they were severely dehydrated and had almost become mummies.
Moreover, the corpse was entirely white, indicating that it had not only been in the sea but had also drunk seawater before its death.
Bai Jiu: "Logically speaking, a small boat like this shouldn't have survived such a huge storm."
Bai Shuang: "The small boat must have been a lifeboat on a large ship. They boarded the small boat after the large ship sank."
A scene immediately flashed through their minds...
I don't know what country they are from. The bodies are white, and according to the markings on the small boat, it was made in country E.
Lu Yu instructed them to throw the bodies into the sea, then cleaned and disinfected the small boat, and stored Bai Shuang in his spatial storage.
Resources are becoming increasingly scarce in the apocalypse, so we can't afford to waste them.
At night, it closes its shell again and submerges in the water to spend the night.
After dinner, with nothing else to do, Bai Shuang brought out some fruit, and everyone ate and chatted.
There is no joy in the apocalypse, so Bai Jiu volunteered to tell everyone a story about the corpses they saw that day.
Bai Chang: "Bai Jiu, you even know the stories of those dead people, amazing."
Bai Jiu: "Whether it's amazing or not, you'll know when you hear it."
The storm came, and the towering waves swallowed everything. A large group of survivors rushed toward the only ship floating on the water at their fastest speed ever.
They jostled and pushed each other.
Finally, some people managed to squeeze up, but most of the survivors who couldn't get on were instantly swallowed up by the wind and waves.
Then, the ship, carrying many fortunate people, sailed on the boundless, harborless sea, swaying with the wind and waves.
Then, thanks to its sturdy hull and huge tonnage, the ship withstood one storm after another at sea.
Fortunately, the storm subsided, and just when the survivors thought they had survived the disaster, fate dealt them another fatal blow.
That night, while the survivors were fast asleep, the ship suddenly began to rock violently again. The mast broke, the hull was damaged, then the deck twisted, and water began to flood the cabins…
The survivors cried and screamed as they ran toward the lifeboats.
Finally, a few of them managed to squeeze onto the lifeboat, while many more were swallowed by the sea.
Finally, the wind stopped and the waves calmed down, but before they could even feel relieved, a new problem arose.
All their food, fresh water, clothing, and other supplies sank into the sea with that ship.
What should we eat now? What should we drink?
They wanted to ask for help, but couldn't find anyone to help them.
When the heat became unbearable, they would immerse themselves in the seawater; when they were parched, they would drink seawater.
Such actions not only did no good to their bodies, but actually accelerated their death.
Soon after, abdominal pain, vomiting, and muscle cramps appeared...
They had no strength left, so they lay on the small boat, their lives slowly fading away...
Everyone listened intently, occasionally adding their own comment.
Xiao Zhao: "Mr. Bai Jiu is truly a talent. I must say, the stories he tells are almost always accurate to the facts."
Bai Chang: "Bai Jiu, if we add a love story to it, it will be even more exciting, like Jack and Rose."
Bai Jiu: "If you're so capable, add it yourself."
"No, no, I don't have your talent."
Seeing people dying of thirst today made Bai Shuang realize the preciousness of fresh water. When she got home, she took out a seawater purifier and asked them to filter and disinfect some seawater for washing.
Fortunately, the pH level of the seawater has returned to normal and it is no longer acidic.
Although she has no shortage of water, it is unknown when the disaster will end.
If we use up all the stored water and then switch to spiritual spring water, it would be a waste of resources and would easily arouse suspicion.
The Pure Spirit Spring Water is currently only for her and Lu Yu to use.
She still had some snow bricks in her space, and also a lot of bottled water that she had collected before the disaster, which she gave them to drink.
The spring water will be used as a medicinal solution and distributed to them in limited quantities on a regular basis.
A week later, they finally found a suitable spot in the sea and settled down temporarily.
As for building a base, that can only be done after the storm has completely subsided and the Earth has stabilized.
Currently, there is no stable place on Earth. Reclaiming land from the sea? Impossible.
Eight years of natural disasters have been enough for people to realize the terrifying power of nature and that some things are beyond human control.
Now, the most urgent task is to survive and then find them. Otherwise, how can we build the Huaxia base with just eight people?
However, the world is so vast, and people are constantly on the move, that it's impossible to find them.
Bai Shuang also tried to predict their fortune, but the whole world was covered in water and fog, so she couldn't make any predictions.
