There was no aftershock.
But a larger earthquake came!
Song Qianxing, who was beside Jiang Yan, had already given an order:
"Kong Wu! Start the boat quickly!! Go east to the open waters first!"
"Yes!"
The young man who was driving the boat received the order and started the boat quickly, "The waves are a bit big! Hold on tight!"
Under the turbulent water, it was like a ferocious monster suddenly awakened.
It seemed to tear the whole city apart, and the walls of many buildings began to crack visibly.
Not far away, countless huge waves were gathering and rolling rapidly.
It was like a tsunami was coming.
The buildings within sight were shaking wildly.
The water surface was also boiling.
The screams of terror in the corridor became more and more.
"Bang!"
A huge wave nearby smashed down on the few people.
Song Qian and Kong Wu, who were standing on the bow, became two drowned rats.
Although Jiang Yan was wearing a helmet and a waterproof down jacket, she was still defenseless.
Ice-cold water began to flow down her neck.
Fortunately, the tights inside were also waterproof and quick-drying.
"Is God going to kill all of humanity?!"
Su Dai, who had never seen such a scene before, wiped the ice water off her face, her eyes suddenly red, and said in despair.
Jiang Yan took a deep breath and said nothing.
"Don't be afraid, it will be over in a while." Sun Jingtao comforted her, holding the handrail tightly with one hand and holding her tightly with the other.
"Boom!"
The earthquake continued.
"Plop!"
Over at the Repulse Bay community, someone wearing a lifebuoy jumped directly from the window into the ice-cold water. There were
even more people jumping into the water over at the Central Garden.
There were also some people with rubber boats who had already paddled out in panic.
These scenes were getting farther and farther away from the eyes of several people.
The speedboat rode the wind and waves, and after quickly leaving the edge of the building, it slowed down.
Many nearby buildings were just under the water, and they were afraid that if they drove too fast, they would hit the reef if they couldn't distinguish clearly.
A minute later, the shaking of the building gradually slowed down, and the earthquake finally stopped.
But the fluctuations on the water surface have not stopped.
Several people were almost knocked unconscious by the shaking of the boat.
At a glance, it was devastated.
Those buildings that were originally standing in the water were either leaning or collapsing.
"Brother Song! The compass is broken!" Kong Wu, who was driving the boat, said in shock.
Everyone's heart sank.
"It should be that the earthquake temporarily affected the magnetic field. It's okay. As long as the earthquakes are not continuous, the compass will recover later." Song Qian frowned and said.
Kong Wu stopped the boat, "What should we do now?"
"Let's take a break and wait for the sun to come out." Song Qian said, looking at the sky.
The rain stopped last night.
Because the clouds were too thick, the sky was still gray at the moment.
But you can see that there are signs that the sun is about to come out.
"Even if the sun comes out, it's hard to tell at this time." Kong Wu pursed his lips.
"I have my own way of thinking about this." Song Qian said, looking at his watch, and then asked, "How much oil is left?"
Kong Wu looked at the dashboard and reported, "Two-thirds of a tank, plus the spare on our ship, it's enough to run three or four hundred kilometers."
"Beep, beep--" As soon as the other party finished speaking, the intercom on his chest started to ring.
Kong Wu frowned, took it off, looked at it, and said, "Hey, the power is normal."
"The leader's ship is farther away from us, so there will be this prompt." Song Qian glanced and said.
Kong Wu was stunned, "Ah? Why didn't they notify us? What should we do now?!!"
Seeing him startled, Jiang Yan raised her eyes and glanced at him.
The other party was about 1.78 meters tall and had a neat crew cut.
His eyes were small but bright.
It can be seen that he was a smart guy.
He looked about the same age as Ye Qing, less than 20 years old.
But his style of doing things was obviously not as calm as Ye Qing.
Judging from the words and expressions between him and Song Qian, the two should also be temporary partners.
Listening to Kong Wu's question, Song Qian did not answer, but bent down to open the lid of the storage box, took out a few bottles of water and handed them to several people, and then sat down next to Sun Jingtao:
"Brother Sun, I have something to discuss with you."
"Well, go ahead."
"Originally, our plan was to pick you up and then go directly to catch up with the leader's ship. But after the earthquake, the leader's ship should have accelerated away from Anming.
Now, it is likely that only our speedboat can escort you directly to Dongshan."
"Well, that's troublesome. If there is anything we can do, please let me know in time." Sun Jingtao knew that the other party said this to pave the way for the following words.
"The temperature is dropping now, and we may need to rush forward as much as possible before the ice freezes.
But you know, the amount of gasoline on the speedboat is limited, so I suggest that we don't chase the leader's boat first, but find some gasoline nearby.
In this way, it will be safer when we travel later."
Their speedboat is also equipped with oars.
If we row by hand, it will take a long time to reach Dongshan.
"Hey, Brother Song, if we had known earlier, we would have picked up the people and left immediately. The leader's boat has plenty of these supplies--"
Hearing that he couldn't catch up with the big ship, Kong Wu pouted a little aggrieved.
But when he saw Song Qian's eyes, he forced himself back when he was halfway through his words.
"Since it will be frozen, why don't we not go to Dongshan." Su Dai looked at the vast ocean around her, thinking of the huge waves just now, and said with lingering fear.
Sun Jingtao shook his head, "It's frozen, and survival will only be more difficult. Besides, when the ice and snow melt later, the water here will only be deeper, and we can only go to higher places."
"Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have sold the house and moved to Dongshan." Su Dai's negative emotions became more and more serious.
Her hometown is there, and she has many relatives.
It's just that after the high temperature, the communication was cut off.
In fact, she didn't know the situation over there.
Song Qian glanced at her and said:
"Dongshan was also a purgatory on earth before the rainstorm. Not only is the temperature there higher than Anming, but the sunlight also carries strong radiation. The number of people who survived is not more than Anming."
Su Dai: "!" "
So, Yaoben Base was also built later?" Ye Qing glanced at Song Qian.
The latter did not avoid it: "Yes, I heard that it was built during the rainstorm. Among the five known private bases, only the Flame Base was built in advance before the rainstorm."
"Five private bases?" Su Dai was dumbfounded for a second.
"Yes. I heard about it too. I only know that there are five private bases named after gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. The Yao Ben Base and Lie Yan Base we know about now represent earth and fire respectively. As for gold, water, and wood, it is still unknown for the time being."
Jiang Yan: "..."
After Song Qian finished explaining, he looked at the few people with a hint of inquiry.
