"Who the hell are you threatening? Don't be shameless!" The guy with the crew cut had no idea what Westbrook was thinking. He immediately became unhappy when he heard what Qiao Qingqing said, and shouted that he would teach Qiao Qingqing a lesson.
"Westbrook, shoot her to teach her a lesson!"
A lot of ammunition was consumed in killing birds in the air in the past two years, and it was said that there were some problems with the production line at the arsenal. In order to save ammunition resources, gun control has been strict in recent years. Even Westbrook could only get a gun from his father through coaxing and struggling - and there were only two bullets in the gun.
Brother Wei is considered a relatively sensible son of a powerful family, and his family does not discipline him too strictly, otherwise they would not have allowed him to get a speedboat to play with after experiencing the catastrophe a few days ago.
Although Westbrook loves to play, he knows the meaning of the word "moderation". If he really damages the precious speedboat supplies today, his father will have to send people to find him, and he will never be free again!
"Westbrook——"
"Let's go." Westbrook put away the gun.
The guy with the short hair couldn't believe it: "Westbrook——"
Westbrook glared: "Are you still listening to me? If you don't listen, don't follow me anymore!"
As soon as these words came out, the buzz cut man immediately became obedient. He had just lost the protection of his parents and family, and he wanted to cling to Westbrook's thighs. How could he dare to go against his will? He had just shouted passionately, but now he slid down to his knees and slid down very sensibly: "Let's go, let's turn around! It's boring to argue with a woman, Westbrook is still generous!"
The speedboat turned around.
Qiao Songzhi had just breathed a sigh of relief when a gunshot rang out. The kayak under him was broken and leaked air, and began to sink under the weight of the three of them.
At the same time, Qiao Qingqing shot the arrow without hesitation -
The speedboat ahead that was about to disappear made a "puff" sound, followed by their exclamations.
"The speedboat seems to be leaking air!"
"That damn woman—"
Qiao Qingqing supported Qiao Songzhi, took out another speedboat, and left quickly before the people in front had time to come back for revenge. She was very fast, and Brother Wei and his men waded back in anger to seek revenge. The angry Brother Wei no longer cared about anything else, he must take revenge!
As a result, when they climbed out of the water covered in dust, they didn't care about the chest-deep water and went to find Qiao Qingqing for revenge. After looking around, they found no one.
“Where are the people?!”
"No, I didn't see it. Why did it disappear?"
"It was there just now! Could it have swam away?"
"Go find them! I don't believe they don't need to breathe when diving!" Westbrook said angrily.
He stood there, looking at the water. Five minutes passed, ten minutes passed, and there was nothing but the splashes of rain and the water marks from the water flowing down his head. The three men seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace on the vast surface of the water.
The crew cut came over hesitantly and said, "Actually, I just saw a shadow, like a speedboat or something like that passed by. I thought I was seeing things, but now I think maybe they met some helpers and someone took them away in a speedboat, so we couldn't find them. We were less than a hundred meters apart, it's impossible for three people to disappear in the blink of an eye!"
"Damn it! Don't let me run into you again!" Westbrook kicked the water in anger, "Let's go back."
An unexpected incident occurred during a trip to relieve boredom. Westbrook, a pampered young master, encountered many difficulties on the way back. He got lost, encountered robbers, and was separated from his younger brothers... The trajectory of his life changed ahead of time. When Westbrook was found by the bodyguard sent by his family, it was already four days later. When he returned to the camp and saw his father for the first time, he was slapped in the face by his father and fell to the ground.
"You said you wanted to go out and relax, but you call that relaxing? You call that being restless! Hurry up and get up, we are leaving."
Westbrook often saw his father speaking harshly, but he never saw him panic. Even on the day of the earthquake, his father said he was ready, and then the family boarded a plane and took off smoothly before the building collapsed. Even when a tornado destroyed the camp a few days ago, his father was not so panicked. When he wanted a speedboat to go out and play, his father nodded when he had time.
"Dad, Dad, what happened?"
Westbrook's father frowned and pressed his brows together: "The people we sent to investigate the base finally came back the day before yesterday. Only two people came back out of the whole team, and they brought bad news that no one could accept."
Westbrook's heart was lifted: "What, what bad news?"
At the same time, Qiao Qingqing stood on the land of Pingshan Community, the former Xicheng base, staring at the scene in front of her in amazement, so shocked that she lost the ability to speak.
The endless water, like the gaping mouth of a gigantic monster, divides the base into two parts.
In other words, an ocean appeared in the middle of the base.
At this moment, Qiao Qingqing felt dizzy.
Four days ago, after giving back to Westbrook's annoying second-generation rich, Qiao Qingqing took the opportunity to change the speedboat and head to the new community at a faster speed. The rain kept falling, and there were very few people walking outside, so there was no problem of traffic jams, but the closer to the base, the harder it was for the speedboat to move. The reason was simple: the buildings here were densely packed, and there were more ruins left after the earthquake. Perhaps it was also related to the previous sandstorm. In short, the terrain here was relatively high, and the accumulated water seemed relatively shallow, so the speedboat could not move forward.
After finding a secluded and deserted place to pack up the speedboat, Qiao Qingqing and the other two started walking.
They saw more survivors, as well as bodies lying on the ruins and floating on the water. The smell of rotting corpses was everywhere, and Qiao Qingqing even felt that the air was full of germs.
"We are getting closer and closer to the base." Qiao Songzhi looked forward to it. "I wonder if we can meet a rescue team."
Perhaps the goddess of luck finally favored them, and in the evening, they really met a rescue team.
"Come this way, the new temporary camp is here!"
Qiao Qingqing and her friends entered the camp and began to register. As usual, she began to look for people with anticipation.
"The previous list has been lost, and the statistics of survivors after the tornado have not been completed. The work is very intense now, and many people need to find their relatives. You can look through it yourself, but don't damage the list!"
Qiao Qingqing sat down and looked through the list with other survivors. After many disappointments, she could calmly accept the fact that Shao Shengan and his friends were not on the list in the temporary camp.
"I want to enter the new community and find a building to shelter from the typhoon. Do you know the situation over there?" Pingshan Community is not far from the new community, and Qiao Qingqing wants to find out some information first.
The rescue team sighed: "Even though the camp was destroyed by a tornado, we still have to stay here instead of going to the new community. Guess why?"
As soon as these words came out, Qiao Qingqing felt extremely uneasy and her heart beat faster.
"Don't you know the situation over there? I remember you have an internal communication channel. Can't you use it to contact the Yeshan headquarters? Don't be surprised. I used to be a bowman in the security team, so I know a little bit."
Looking at the man in his 50s in military uniform biting a straw, he was silent for a moment and said, "All communication channels are cut off. Even if they can still be used, it's useless. We can't get through, and the other side can't get through either."
A young woman who was registering people nearby whispered, "The base was cracked in the earthquake, and a sea appeared there."
After hearing her words, Qiao Qingqing's mind went blank.
"One piece of what?"
"It's a sea. ... The tearing point is at the original location of Pingshan Community. We haven't yet found out where the border of the sea is..."
Qiao Qingqing could hardly hear what the woman said next. She bit her tongue and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was distracted for a moment. You said we haven't explored the border yet?"
"Yes, we are short of manpower and equipment to carry out rescue work. There is really no way to explore that sea."
"Don't the camps have speedboats? Can't they go across the sea and take a look?"
The man shook his head and said, "After the earthquake, we salvaged supplies and tried our best to salvage food and medicine... We are trying our best to get in touch with other teams. There should be teams with airplanes. It should be more efficient if we fly there. But it's strange that we haven't seen any airplanes take off nearby recently. The worst case scenario is that those airplanes are damaged..."
Finally, the man said to Qiao Qingqing, "The tornado has not appeared again. The camp is relatively safe now. We are gathering people to collect more construction materials and plan to move to a higher ground. We think we can handle the typhoon problem. Don't be impulsive. Stay for a while. The camp needs people to maintain order. If you don't have a bow or crossbow, the camp has one."
Faced with the solicitation, Qiao Qingqing's mind seemed to be covered by a veil. She was still immersed in the blow brought by the sea. She could not quite remember how she declined and how she left the tent.
Walking on the muddy and waterlogged path, Qiao Qingqing felt that this scene was familiar. She had walked like this before in that camp. From one camp to another, she always came with hope but returned disappointed. This time, she received even worse news, which made her feel even more depressed.
"Do you believe it?" A female voice sounded in my ear.
Qiao Qingqing came back to her senses and turned around to see a woman in a raincoat standing next to her with red eyes. She was also shocked and mentally unstable, otherwise she would not have noticed that someone followed her out of the tent.
Recognizing that this person was looking for the roster in the tent just like her, Qiao Qingqing nodded.
"Do you believe it?" Tang Shan asked again, "I don't believe it. How could there be such a ridiculous thing?"
"I don't want to believe it either, but they have no reason to lie to us."
Tang Shan was very excited: "I don't believe it! I don't believe it! I want to go over and see, and expose their lies!" Then she rushed out of the camp.
Looking at her back, Qiao Qingqing clenched her fists, but finally she took a deep breath to calm herself down and went to find her mother and elder brother.
