"Quick! Bring me that bucket of water!"
"This bag is too damn heavy. Whose is it? They are all broken watches. They are so heavy. Throw them away and you are not allowed to board the ship!"
"Fang Yun, do you want to die? That's mine. I've saved up for many years for this limited edition! Don't throw it away!"
"Hmph, then you can go eat the northwest wind with your limited edition watch. Your share will be cut by the amount of space your bag takes up on the food!"
People were running around with panic on their faces. There were shouts, yells, and calls. The convoy camp was in unprecedented chaos. If it were normal times, Westbrook would have intervened in the camp affairs to show his status, but now he couldn't say a word and just stared blankly ahead.
When the convoy was evacuating, the wooden boats were tied to the roofs of the vehicles. The boats were being lowered one by one and carefully placed into the water. A survivor in the water reached out to grab the edge of the boat and tried to get ashore, but was kicked away by the people guarding the boat: "Get out! This is our boat!"
"Please help me, help me!"
The boatman used cruelty to cover up his panic at the situation: "We don't even have enough seats for ourselves, so how can we have room for you? You can just climb ashore by yourself!"
But there is only a little land left, and it will soon disappear! It is futile to go ashore now, because when the land disappears, we will be submerged in water again!
The man had been in the water for two days and finally found the last piece of land and saw a boat. How could he be willing to give up?
He stepped forward again and tried to twist the boat hard. The wooden boat was almost turned over. The boatkeeper kicked it again in anger, but his foot was caught.
Westbrook stared blankly, his soul finally returning to his body. He watched the man underwater fighting with Lao Jiu like a desperate beast. He took a deep breath and shouted, "Lao Jiu! Stop embarrassing yourself. Show him the knife!"
After saying that, he turned around to look for his father. He caught a glimpse of a group of people crowded not far from the motorcade. They were extremely dirty and looked very miserable. Westbrook looked away. He had seen many people like this. The people who had been running behind the motorcade these days looked like dead. It was really unlucky. In his opinion, those people had nothing and were ungrateful and refused to accept the motorcade's conditions. What good could they do with their two legs? They were all going to die anyway, so why bother struggling when they might as well die early?
"Westbrook, your father is over there, I'll let my daughter take you there?" A man pulled a girl over with an apologetic smile. Westbrook recognized that this father and daughter had just sold themselves to get into the team. He nodded modestly, glanced at the girl, and frowned: "There's water everywhere, and you don't even know how to wash your face."
"Hey, hey! Wash it, wash it right away. Zhuzhu, did you hear what Westbrook said?"
The girl lowered her head and made mosquito-like sounds, and no one knew what she was saying.
The man raised his hand to hit her, but a scream was heard.
"Murder! Murder!"
Westbrook looked back and saw that it was Lao Jiu who really killed the man with a knife. The knife stabbed the man through. Blood splattered onto the boat and into the water, and everywhere was red.
Lao Jiu gritted his teeth and pulled out his knife, threatening the others who were approaching from the water: "Don't come over here, Master Jiu's knife is not just for show, come over here and try again!"
"Well done, Laojiu! Remember to clean the boat!"
Lao Jiu shouted loudly: "Don't worry, Westbrook!"
Westbrook nodded with satisfaction and motioned Zhuzhu to lead the way. Zhuzhu was so scared that her legs went weak. Westbrook pushed her away with disgust and walked away. The man supported his daughter and asked her why she was so useless!
Zhuzhu finally looked up, tears falling: "Dad, I'm scared, someone killed someone, someone killed someone..."
The man's eyes turned red, "But if you don't get on with him, neither my father nor I will survive. Their cars can squeeze in, but I've counted them. Although there is a boat on the roof of each car, can you think that a wooden boat can be as big as a car? We can squeeze in the car, but how can we squeeze in a wooden boat? They have so much luggage, someone will definitely be left behind. Zhuzhu, listen to your dad and get on with him quickly. He is the stupidest of all. You are skinny and small, and you won't take up any space by his side. Go ahead, go!"
He pushed his daughter out with force, but Zhuzhu hugged his arms tightly, crying and refusing to leave.
"Then die with Dad. I won't leave. I won't leave..."
The flattery on the man's face disappeared completely. He sat on the ground with red eyes, staring straight at -
Wooden boats were taken down one by one, and luggage was taken off the car one by one.
The bosses of the team gathered together to chat and discuss the situation. They looked heavy but not panicked.
The survivors who had run here from other places were driven aside by the convoy, and the atmosphere was very depressed and hopeless. Liu Zhaoyun was among them. She had been running for ten days, changing directions countless times, running wherever there was a collapse, and finally ran to this place. When she saw this convoy, she knew there was nowhere else to go.
Even the convoy escaped here, which proves that the direction the convoy came from has also sunk into the sea.
Tired, hungry, desperate... Liu Zhaoyun felt that she was about to die. She touched her neck and felt only a bare necklace. The gold ring that was originally hanging on her neck had been replaced with medicine and crossbow arrows. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of Qingqing. She didn't know if Qingqing had found her husband. She didn't find him, but she hoped Qingqing could find him.
Liu Zhaoyun licked her lips, which were dry and torn, and she tasted blood.
The other survivors around me were talking.
"They all have boats. Lots of boats."
"How come they have a boat? If we had known earlier, we would have built one too!"
"I didn't expect this. Who knew there would be such a disaster? How did they know they needed to get a boat..."
"Listen to me." Liu Zhaoyun spoke.
"They have knives and guns, and they look very tough. Just now, Lao Zhou went over to talk to them but was chased away as soon as he opened his mouth."
"If I go and beg them, will they take me in?"
"I don't think it's possible. They have so many people and so few boats. I think they will have to drive some people away before the boats are enough."
"What should I do next? The wood I found is all rotten and will break if I squeeze it!"
"Listen to me." Liu Zhaoyun raised his voice.
The people around him finally quieted down and looked at Liu Zhaoyun.
Liu Zhaoyun was very capable. She was very good at using bows and crossbows. She had killed robbers and everyone believed in her.
"Xiao Liu, what do you want to say?"
"Sister Liu, do you have an idea?"
Liu Zhaoyun looked at them, her eyes swept across their faces, and she expressed her thoughts: "Let's go and rob their boat."
Someone hissed and was about to speak, but was stopped by Liu Zhaoyun.
"Listen to me first. I know it's not easy. They seem to be well-fed, well-dressed and have weapons. It's not easy to get them, but if we don't try, we will surely die. Those people -" Liu Zhaoyun signaled with his eyes to the other strange survivors beside him, "all ran here from various places. This may be the last land!"
The interior of the convoy was not peaceful either. Many people were worried. Although the number of wooden boats in the convoy was the same as the number of cars, with small wooden boats on the roofs of small cars and large wooden boats on the roofs of large RVs, it seemed that they could carry everyone. However, the storage space of the cars was not comparable to that of the wooden boats. Even the heavy and impractical luggage of the young masters would be discarded. So what about them?
If they asked themselves honestly, they realized that since joining the caravan, they had been the lowest in status in the camp, no different from servants and slaves in ancient times. They did the hardest work, slept in the worst tents and bedding... Even these boats were made by themselves by being dragged into the woods to cut wood day by day.
So do they really have the right to board these ships?
The survivors who were ordered to carry supplies onto the ship all had the same murmur in their hearts.
"Hurry up! It's really useless. Move it quickly!"
"Okay, okay... Brother Wang, which boat should we take later?" The man smiled and said, "I just thought that we are all rough people, so it's best not to get too close to the bosses and their young masters. I'm sorry to disturb the bosses..."
"Hmph, just do your job first. The bosses have their own arrangements. Who the hell do you think you are to make arrangements for them? Hurry up, get out of here!"
Han Shan and others were also mumbling in the corner. What they often did was to devour other people's camps and obtain other people's survival supplies. After arriving at the caravan camp, they of course did their old business. The caravan camp does not do charity. There is only one way to get in, that is, to sign a contract to sell yourself. Just sign it. There is no law now, and it doesn't matter if you break the contract in the future. As a result, they soon welcomed the Tangzhou fleet and learned that the continent would collapse.
From that time on, Han Shan and others lay in wait, waiting for this moment.
Boss: "That's it, remember it, right? We must grab a ship, preferably two ships, but if we don't have one, one will do!"
Everyone responded.
"Okay, let's split up. You guys go steal the supplies, and we'll steal the boat!"
At the back of the convoy, the fastest survivor stopped to rest. One of them had a telescope and stood on a high place to look. He asked curiously, "Why did the convoy stop?"
"Have you stopped? Have you found a way to survive?"
"I don't know. It was too far away. I could only see the backs of a few cars."
"Then let's keep going. We have to keep up even if we break our legs."
The exhausted survivors supported each other and continued to move forward, while the ships left behind were unaware of this.
Qiao Qingqing and her family were still moving forward slowly. Three days later, the Tangzhou fleet suddenly accelerated, and even the largest cruise ship disappeared.
"What happened? Should we speed up as well?" Song Sanhe suggested.
Shao Shengan nodded.
But they were rowing with their hands, so even if they accelerated, it would be just that. The next day, they saw a man floating on the water with his head raised and his hands spread out.
"Is that man still alive?"
They found the woman lying in the water, who was the closest. The woman was above the water with her neck up, and she was motionless with her eyes closed. The wooden boat approached, and when it was one meter away, Qiao Qingqing stretched out the oar and gently pushed. The woman opened her eyes and was a little surprised: "Hey! Finally found a boat, can you give me a hand, big sister?"
This person is quite optimistic. Qiao Qingqing smiled and turned back to call Shao Shengfei: "Brother, throw a piece of wood to her."
