Chapter 429 Acid Rain. Return to Xiwan
The three people got off the boat at the square. They found themselves in a desolate state, with nothing but ruins and no signs of human life.
"Is this the ultimate fate of mankind?" Lao Chu muttered to himself. Thousands of years of culture and billions of people might all be wiped out by natural disasters. It was chilling to think about it.
Gu Ye touched the uneven iron railing beside him with his fingers. "This is the trace of acid rain corrosion after the tsunami."
Looking up, the landmark buildings on the square seemed to have been bitten by time, and the delicate carvings became dim and incomplete. The stone slabs under their feet were also bumpy and uneven, obviously eroded by acid rain.
Chu An suddenly felt like laughing. He laughed at Manager Wang wanting to occupy the dock, at Liu Cheng wanting to be the gang leader, at Yunyun still pretending to be pitiful, at himself trying every means to save Old Chu, at Situ Hanxin being crazy about love, and at Feng Zhuoyi being jealous of Old Chu.
In the face of natural disasters, all human emotions are insignificant, and you will be completely wiped out from this world in the next second.
"Xiao An, let's go back to City C first." Gu Ye saw the news about the expansion of refugee admissions at the City C base on the government website and showed it to her. "Maybe all the people in Xiwan have gone to seek refuge with the government."
"Yeah, after all, half a month has passed." Lao Chu suddenly wanted to smoke, but he couldn't find one after searching all over his body. He felt a little annoyed, "It's just that... Qingzi has worked hard for more than three months in vain."
Chu An took out the Hummer from the space. It was useless to sigh now. But he still let them wait here for two hours.
She remembered that the canning warehouse at the dock factory had been reinforced, and perhaps some of the remains were still there.
She drove the speedboat to the dock, put on a diving suit and went into the water. With Zi Liu, she didn't need to swim herself, she could just control Zi Liu to take her through the water.
According to his memory, he came to the cannery and broke in through the window. As expected, he found three intact canning warehouses, with about 15,000 cans, each weighing 500 grams. This was only one-tenth of the total amount Li Qing salvaged, and one percent of the entire dock.
Having something is better than having nothing. She put all the things into the space. Only half an hour had passed. She couldn't help but praise Zi Liu in her heart. Since she could resonate with it, it became convenient for her to do anything.
She swam back to the speedboat, changed her clothes, and returned to Xiwan Square. The three of them did not delay any longer and headed straight for City C.
Now there is no clue about Mou Ci, and she doesn't know where to look. She remembered that Director Wang had relatives in the military, and maybe he could get some information. If it doesn't work, she can ask Tang Xiao to ask his brother for help.
As long as we can find out where Mou Ci "sacrificed", there is a high probability that we can find him along the route.
I don't know why, but I always have a feeling that Sheng Tang Base didn't seriously search for their whereabouts.
Well, if the communication was not paralyzed now, Feng Zhuoyi could still find out some information over there.
The three of them took turns driving, and because the road was more difficult to drive than when they came, it took a while. As it got dark, they finally got to the main road, which was also the only way to City C.
It took three hours to leave Xiwan and get back to the main road. By this calculation, we will reach City C tomorrow night.
We walked for another hour along the potholes near the main road and passed a mountain. There used to be a tunnel here, but now, not to mention the tunnel, even the road to the tunnel is blocked by rocks.
They could only continue driving along the mountain. Soon they arrived at the mountain pass and saw a deep crack with a cross-section of seven or eight meters, which stretched as far as the eye could see.
If I want to find the end along the crack, I don’t know how many days I will waste.
At this time, Lao Chu was driving. He stepped on the brakes and stopped not far from the crack in the ground.
"There seems to be a floating bridge there." Gu Ye pointed to a place not far away.
Chu An also saw that the width of the floating bridge was just right for vehicles to pass through, but there were four figures around.
Lao Chu drove the car over and saw clearly that they were four strong men, all with tattoos. In this day and age, if they can still be so strong, they must be robbers or cannibals.
When the four saw a car coming towards them, they showed smug smiles on their faces.
"Bridge toll, 20 kilograms of food." A man walked over and shouted loudly.
Gu Ye and Chu An sat in the back. He lowered the window and said, "Can it be cheaper? We haven't eaten for several days."
The man looked at Gu Ye. Chu An didn't dress them up specially today, but after three months of sailing, Gu Ye's skin had darkened to a darker color. In addition, in order to hurry, he didn't take care of his hair and beard, so he looked a little bit decadent.
"Who would believe me if you said you could feed a woman without food? Give me food quickly and don't force me to do it."
When the people behind him heard the word "woman", they immediately followed him and said, "It's okay if we don't have food. We can use women to make up for it."
Gu Ye frowned slightly, and Lao Chu in front also lowered the window, "Brother, we are all in this world, why should we make things difficult for each other?"
"Who the hell is your brother?" the man who got in later cursed and turned to shout to his companion, "There's a woman in this car, and she's pretty fair."
The remaining two people walked over slowly, whistling and with lewd smiles on their faces.
One of them laughed, "Hahaha, I haven't touched a woman for half a month, this is a good time to satisfy my craving."
Gu Ye's eyes gradually turned cold, and just as he was about to get out of the car, Chu An held his arm.
She wanted to cross the floating bridge because she was afraid of exposing her abilities, but she also didn't rely entirely on them, as dead people couldn't see anything.
"Everything can be discussed, but I want to see your boss." Chu An only leaned out part of his body, and most of his body was still in the shadows in the car.
This floating bridge is definitely not something that they can build by just a few people. There must be someone behind the scenes, maybe a big organization. She wants to lure out more people and catch them all in one fell swoop.
"You stinky bitch, you still want to meet our boss? You're dreaming. Come down and be happy with me."
"Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit." The first man who spoke raised the wooden stick in his hand and hit the Hummer.
Shit, Gu Ye felt a little sorry for the car, so he suddenly opened the door and knocked the man with the wooden stick to the ground.
The other three people were stunned for a moment, and immediately rushed towards Gu Ye, "You dare to do this, you are really tired of living."
Just as Gu Ye reached for the black stone dagger from his waist, a gunshot rang out, shocking everyone.
Everyone turned to look and saw four soldiers with military assault rifles rushing up, with the leader shouting, "Put down your weapons and put your hands up."
The four robbers hurriedly fled in opposite directions, and the soldiers chased them for a few meters before stopping. Chu An did not intend to let them go, and there was no other way to catch the leader, so he could only kill them one by one.
She made the four men run as far away as possible, sending stone spikes through their chests before they disappeared from sight.
At this time, the soldiers' attention was all on the Humvee and they did not notice their death.
The leader was a dark-skinned soldier who should be young. He saluted Chu Tian in front of the car window and said, "It's okay. You are safe now."
