There were several wooden boards on the boat, and Shao Shengfei picked up a small one and put it down.
The woman hurriedly hugged the board and breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm finally saved. I'm really out of strength after swimming all night, so I had to let myself float. Floating is also a technical job! Not only can you not move around, you can't breathe heavily. I didn't even dare to call for help!..." This person talked a lot and quickly, her words shaking out like beans. Without waiting for Qiao Qingqing to ask, she said everything.
"It's all over now! I used to be a long-distance running champion, but the title is useless now. There's no land for you to run on. Where else can you run to? The land is gone! It's gone!"
Qiao Qingqing took a breath of cold air, and felt her heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys all go cold. She subconsciously turned her head to look at Shao Shengan. Shao Shengan held her hand and continued to ask, "Are you sure?"
The woman spat out a mouthful of dirty water: "Sure! I kept running, running everywhere, and my luggage was lost, but in the end it still fell into the water. It's great that you have a boat. I should have made a boat earlier!"
This news... shocked everyone. Song Sanhe and his friends also came over by boat, but they were also unable to accept the news.
"This is impossible? How is it possible? I don't believe it!"
"Yeah, yeah, I don't believe it either!"
"Where's the Tangzhou fleet? They suddenly sped up yesterday and are nowhere to be seen now!"
The woman asked, "What ship? The Tangzhou Fleet? Which Tangzhou?"
Qiao Qingqing heard something wrong and asked her where she came from.
"Nanping base! No, where are you from? What's the matter with the Tangzhou fleet? What does it mean? Where is this place?" The woman grabbed the wooden board and struggled, speaking faster.
Nanping Base is said to be a small base in the southwest of Xicheng. When Qiao Qingqing was on duty in the security team, she saw a caravan from Nanping Base coming to Xicheng to exchange coal and other goods.
The land where this person was also collapsed, and this person somehow swam to the route of the collapsed land where they were.
The worst result has happened. All the land is collapsing simultaneously? If the Tangzhou fleet can come to Xicheng, where can they go in the future? Or will the era of living on the water begin? Thinking of those sharks that are as big as small mountains, Qiao Qingqing's brows are tightly knitted. She and Shao Shengan look at each other and see solemnity in each other's eyes.
Three hours later, Zeng Guangyu rowed hard. Their boat had the least people and supplies, so they were in the front.
Three hours ago, after figuring out the situation, Zeng Guangyu said, "Big sister, there are only four people in your family, can you add me? I'll use my most precious treasure as the boat fare!"
He took out a golden Buddha from his neck.
Qiao Qingqing accepted it, and agreed to only provide her with a place to stay, not food or water, and to only keep her for three days.
"Find a way to leave by yourself after three days." Zeng Guangyu agreed immediately. If she continued to soak in the water, she would really die. She had no way to continue swimming, so three days would be enough!
After getting on the boat, Zeng Guangyu relaxed and regained some strength in his limbs. She then volunteered to help row the boat. Shao Shengan asked Qiao Qingqing to give the oars to Zeng Guangyu and let Qiao Qingqing take a rest while she sat at the stern.
The wooden boat was moving fast. Qiao Qingqing looked around with a telescope but still could not see any trace of the Tangzhou fleet.
She speculated that the Tangzhou fleet accelerated because they had received some news. What could it be? The fleet had ships, and even if the entire land was lost, it would still be invincible. So why would they accelerate? Was there something important ahead that attracted them?
Or maybe there is nothing ahead that can stop the fleet.
Qiao Qingqing's heart was heavy. She even needed to touch the crossbow hanging on the edge of the boat to feel some security.
In the distance, the last piece of land collapsed, and the cars that had been working hard to maintain fell into the water, sinking heavily to the bottom of the sea. Wooden boats were swaying in the waves. In the chaos, some people screamed, some shouted for help, and some wooden boats began to change owners...
Liu Zhaoyun climbed onto the wooden boat with blood all over her face. She looked at the survivors struggling in the waves and gave a bitter and confused smile.
Zhuzhu didn't dare to cry and watched her father pull out the knife that had stabbed Westbrook in the back.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! We have a boat!" The man kicked Westbrook down and was about to row away, but countless hands reached out from under the water and grabbed him like a deadly water ghost.
The man swung the kitchen knife cruelly: "Get out! Get out!"
There was hand-to-hand combat, sharp blades, sharpened wooden spikes, and occasional gunshots everywhere.
The last continent sank completely into the sea, accompanied by countless blood, hatred and despair.
At the same time, countless pieces of cut land collapsed one after another.
The highest mountain, Yeshan, finally sank completely.
Tan Jianling completed all the evacuation work and was pulled onto the last wooden boat holding Mayor Luo's urn.
He watched everything fall down, his tears falling onto the jar.
It was two days later that the Tangzhou fleet was caught up.
"That's the cruise ship of the Tangzhou fleet!" Liu Zhen shouted in surprise.
Everyone immediately caught up and rowed the boats quickly.
When they got closer, Qiao Qingqing saw the wooden boat and the survivors in the water.
Their boat slowly approached, and Qiao Qingqing put down the telescope with a serious expression.
"Qingqing." Shao Shengan called her.
She looked back at him and said with difficulty: "I don't see land."
The convoy disappeared, but she saw a few familiar faces on some wooden boats. They were the people from the convoy fleeing on the front line. When she was working in the medical team, she saw those people come over to talk and were led onto the boat. Later, she talked to Dr. Tan for a few words. It was no secret. Dr. Tan told her that the fleet could not accommodate so many people and had to refuse. No matter what conditions they put forward, it was useless. After that, Qiao Qingqing often saw their cars coming back loaded with wood. It seemed that they had found a dense forest. When the convoy camp was the first to evacuate, Qiao Qingqing saw the wooden boats on the roofs of their cars. The scene was very shocking.
And now, those people are on the boat, where is the car?
They must be all in the water. But it was a little strange. Qiao Qingqing found that the atmosphere between those people was not good. They seemed to be arguing about something. She took a quick look and found that the number of wooden boats did not match the number of cars in the convoy. They should have more than these boats...
Qiao Qingqing didn't think about it too much, after all, it was none of her business, she continued to add: "I also saw those people in the convoy camp, all their cars were gone."
Song Sanhe borrowed a telescope to take a look, his expression heavy: "It seems that this is the end, the final end of the land we live on."
Zeng Guangyu stretched her neck to look at the boat. She still couldn't quite believe that this was a ship from Tangzhou. Tangzhou was so far away, how could it appear here?
Qiao Qingqing had also asked her about the situation at the Nanping base in the past few days. Zeng Guangyu said that their base was completely broken apart by the tsunami after the earthquake, and everyone was scattered. Later, she dug a nest by herself and made a living by fishing and collecting. She was lucky enough to find a large area of water lilies. That thing grew very fast and could not be eaten up. Although it didn't taste very good, it was not impossible to eat it in order to survive. There were not many people living around at the beginning, until the temperature rose, more people came, including soldiers from the Nanping base. The soldiers gathered the survivors again, and everyone lived together, and their days were barely enough.
"It really is a ship..." Zeng Guangyu murmured, "You are lucky to have encountered a fleet and knew in advance that the land would collapse... If we knew that, we would definitely build ships, and build many, many ships."
Liu Zhen asked: "Didn't you say you didn't see any sharks over there? Then why don't you build a boat and go out into the water to get information? Why are you just lying there?"
Zeng Guangyu smiled bitterly, "There are no sharks. We did build a boat, but there are whirlpools in the sea. The boat capsized twice and many people were missing. We didn't go there again. We didn't build many boats, just a few to catch fish and pack them. We didn't dare go deep. The sea water became saltier and saltier, and those boats broke down quickly... When the ground collapsed, I couldn't grab a boat, so I took my luggage and ran away."
Hearing this, Song Sanhe couldn't help but sigh.
"Let's go find mom and the others first. I'm worried." Qiao Qingqing said to Shao Shengan.
"That's what I thought, let's go!"
Liu Zhen quickly said, "I'm worried about Aunt Xia too, so I'll go with you?" Then he looked at Song Sanhe. Song Sanhe nodded, and he looked at Shao Shengan and the others expectantly.
Father Shao waved: "Come on, come on."
He crawled over happily.
Qiao Songzhi and Shao's mother are living well now. When it comes to safety, the lack of food and accommodation is not a big deal. Compared with the survivors in the water outside, their lives can be considered happy.
They were looking out when they saw their family's boat. Some makeshift awnings had been built on the deck to accommodate the new survivors, and people were complaining everywhere that it was too crowded, and this dissatisfaction was even stronger when meals were distributed.
Qiao Songzhi and Shao's mother huddled at the edge of the deck, ignoring the quarrel among the others and concentrating on searching for their family members through binoculars.
Mother Shao said worriedly: "I haven't seen them for several days. I don't know if something happened to them."
"Nothing will happen. Our ship is going too fast and Qingqing and the others are left behind. If we give them some time, they will catch up."
"It's better if they come later. It's safer."
Hearing the fear in Shao's mother's words and thinking of the scenes he had seen, Qiao Songzhi felt his heart beating uncontrollably. It was dusk when they arrived at this area of water. The sunset glowed the water surface red, but there was an even brighter red color in the water. It was human blood. I don't know how many people died to dye the water red, and it wouldn't dissipate.
There was so much blood but so few bodies. Qiao Songzhi didn't dare to think about the reason behind it. It was obvious that there had been a melee here. The wooden boats had their own forces and there was a tense situation between each force. Qiao Songzhi and Shao's mother looked worriedly for a long time, but didn't see the family's boat. Then they realized that the fleet was moving so fast, and the family's boat must have fallen behind.
Mother Shao whispered, "That's right. Our fleet has also sent out small boats to patrol everywhere. It's safe for Qingqing and the others to come here now. We don't have to worry about anyone doing something bad. Look at that, Sister Zhi! Is that our family's boat? It's Sheng An and Qingqing!"
She was so excited and her voice was so loud that Qiao Songzhi hurriedly looked in the direction she pointed. Her eyes immediately turned red and she spoke incoherently: "Oh, it really is. Are you tired? How come you are so tanned..."
"Come on, Sister Zhi, let's go!" Shao's mother pulled Qiao Songzhi towards the exit of the boat.
