Chapter 235 A New Natural Disaster is Coming
The vehicle slowly left the ancient town and headed towards the Haicheng base, which was located in Huicheng, GD Province.
Three hours after leaving the ancient town, they met survivors. However, these survivors made their living from the sea, and were much healthier than the survivors Lu Xingtang had met before. At least they had some meat.
The survivors saw Lu Xingtang and his men driving six large trucks crammed with supplies. Their eyes burned with envy. They dropped their supplies and tried to stop them. They quickly surrounded the six trucks, preventing them from leaving. They had no choice but to stop. “Please give us some supplies! We are starving.”
"Do you have any space left in your truck? I want to go to Haicheng Base. Can you take us there?"
"We also want to join the Haicheng base. Even though the situation at the Haicheng base isn't particularly good, we still want to join. Please help us!"
Lu Xingtang frowned slightly when he heard what they said. The situation at Haicheng Base was not good. Lu Xingtang opened the car window and asked loudly, "What did you mean by 'the situation at Haicheng Base was not good'?"
One of the survivors looked at Lu Xingtang and said, "In March, an extreme cold snap struck GD Province. The sea near Huicheng was frozen, with temperatures dropping as low as -75 degrees Celsius. Many people died at Haicheng Base! Although the extreme cold only lasted for two months, after it passed, Huicheng was hit by a typhoon that nearly destroyed Haicheng Base. If Haicheng Base hadn't had the foresight to build a bunker, it would have been destroyed by the typhoon. Now Haicheng Base has encountered new natural disasters: insect plagues and plagues!"
"I also heard that the insect plague was caused by the bodies of those who died during the extreme cold and were not properly handled. Because of the extreme cold, there was no way to dispose of the bodies, so they placed them in a small warehouse within the base, intending to cremate them after the extreme cold passed. Unexpectedly, a typhoon came and stayed in GD for three days, causing the bodies to rot. The corpse water seeped into the ground and flowed into their freshwater wells, causing an insect plague and a plague!"
"The insect plague and the plague will surely kill many people. Haicheng Base has an excellent medical team. They can definitely cure the plague, and the base can also eliminate the insect plague. If we join the base when it needs people the most, we will definitely be able to enter the base."
Lu Xingtang was dumbfounded when he heard what they said. They didn't expect that Haicheng Base was so unlucky. Now it was July, and Haicheng Base was probably already cured of the insect plague, so they wanted to join the base at this time.
Through their words, Lu Xingtang and the others could be sure that the base commander of Haicheng Base was a good person, not as vicious as the Zong family, nor as incompetent as the Sheng family. Otherwise, they would not have thought of joining Haicheng Base, even if their thoughts were a little impure.
"Can you take us to the Haicheng base?"
Lu Xingtang firmly refused: "We are not going to Haicheng Base, nor will we take you away from FJ. If you want to go to Haicheng Base or go somewhere else, you have to find a way yourself!"
Everyone had anticipated Lu Xingtang's refusal. Seeing the guns in Lu Xingtang's hands, they didn't dare say anything. They silently made way for Lu Xingtang and his men to leave. They didn't want to die here; they had worked so hard to survive. However, many of them immediately ran away. It was unclear why they were so anxious. After Lu Xingtang's car started, they saw them quickly catching up with their luggage and silently following behind them.
Because the road was difficult to travel on and the car was driving very slowly, they easily caught up with them. Seeing this, the others quickly went back to pack their luggage and silently followed their footsteps.
Lu Xingtang and the others sighed helplessly and did not drive them away. They allowed them to follow silently behind them. Although the Haicheng base was facing a major crisis now, they still wanted to go over and take a look. It would be even better if they could enter the Haicheng base. Everyone had a skill and they would definitely be able to live a good life in the base.
The main reason was that Teacher Cao, Teacher Sun, and Teacher Liu were already old and their bodies could not withstand long journeys. If they could settle down, it would be very important for their health. After all, they had already promised the three teachers that if they unfortunately passed away, they would definitely send their ashes back to the imperial capital.
Lu Xingtang saw that the survivors following them were okay, so they were not driving very fast, allowing them to keep up.
It took them seven days to leave FJ. They met many survivors on the way. When they learned that they were going to Haicheng Base, they followed them silently, intending to join Haicheng Base together.
Lu Xingtang did not stop them. As long as they did not ask them for supplies, get on the car to rest, or take the opportunity to steal their supplies, or were bipeds, they would not care.
They were lucky enough not to encounter any bipeds. Perhaps they lived by the sea and depended on the sea for food, so there was no need for them to eat humans.
After entering GD Province, Lu Xingtang and his team encountered more survivors. When they saw them driving trucks, they all silently made way, thinking that they were people coming out of the base to look for supplies!
After inquiring, I learned that the insect plague and plague in Haicheng Base have been contained. Now Haicheng Base is very safe and you can join Haicheng Base. Haicheng Base also encourages survivors outside to join the base and build and survive with the base.
If you don't know the way, they will give you directions, which is much better than Lu Xingtang's offline map.
On July 11, they arrived in Chaocheng and rested for a while. After dinner, Lu Xingtang and his friends sat next to the truck and looked at the sea in the distance. The sea was sparkling under the comfort of the sunset glow, which was very beautiful.
"It would be great if it could always be this peaceful." Lu Xingtang said, leaning on Ji Yanmo's shoulder.
When leaving Song Hongmu's house, Lu Xingtang was worried about encountering natural disasters on the way, so everyone prepared a package containing food, medicine, guns and ammunition, as well as clothes. If a natural disaster suddenly struck one day, they would not be prepared and would die heroically.
Everyone followed Lu Xingtang's arrangements and thought they were good. They prepared a lot and filled the packages.
After the sunset, the sky was still a little light, and everyone went back to the car to rest. The moment they got in the car, they heard the sound of waves surging. Everyone turned their heads and saw huge waves on the sea, several meters high, quickly hitting the shore, sweeping away the sand and debris on the beach.
At the same time, the wind gradually strengthened, and the coconut trees on the coast swayed violently, making a whistling sound.
Seeing this, Song Hongmu hurriedly said, "Tangtang, we need to leave quickly or find a safe place to hide! I feel like the wind and waves are not right."
Lu Xingtang's face changed. Could it be a typhoon or a tsunami? He immediately asked everyone to get in the car and let the other survivors leave immediately. The moment they got in the car, the wind grew stronger and the sound of the waves grew louder.
The moment the truck started, Lu Xingtang felt that the car was floating. He turned his head to look at the coast, his pupils shrank, and a new natural disaster really came.
