Qiao Qingqing fainted because she was feeling unwell and her willpower was no match for her.
But she had too many things on her mind, and she desperately wanted to wake up. This strong thought kept stimulating her tired and injured body, prompting her to "log on line" again.
She vaguely heard an argument and the crying of a familiar voice.
Is someone bullying her mother and Feifei? Who is her mother arguing with? Why is Feifei crying?
Wake up, wake up quickly!
She struggled anxiously, and her fingers moved slightly, but Qiao Songzhi and the others didn't notice. They were in trouble at the moment and had no time to pay attention to her movements.
The thunder and lightning retreated, leaving only the dense rain. But this was enough to give the survivors a sigh of relief. Most of them had lost their relatives, friends and supplies in this catastrophe, so the strange water tank in front of them became the object of their attention.
If nothing else, at least you can climb onto the water tank without getting soaked in water.
Someone climbed up. At first, Qiao Songzhi was not so vigilant. They were both in the same boat. There was still space on the water tank. It was normal to share it with others. She hurt her head and her eyes were a little blurry. All she could do was hug her daughter.
Until suddenly a man stared at his daughter who had fainted and said, "Does she have special abilities? I saw her take out such a big water tank out of thin air! I'm sure this water tank didn't exist before - how could such a new water tank of this quality suddenly appear here?"
That’s right, everyone touched the water tank under them, it was so new!
"Did you really see it?"
The man said confidently: "I really saw it. Such a big water tank suddenly appeared, just like a magic! There must be something wrong with this woman. She can do magic!"
"I remember them. They entered the camp from outside and set up their own tents. They must have a lot of supplies, all hidden in the hands of this woman!" Someone else shouted this, adding evidence.
"Oh my god, is this true? Does she have something else hidden? Any food or medicine?"
"Is it space? I've read novels! Is it space? Could it be a jade pendant or a gem as a medium? Oh my god, is it really space?"
The emotions of the people who escaped from the disaster were not rational. With just a word or a look, they started fighting for Qiao Qingqing without knowing who started it.
This is a hot commodity, a golden finger!
If this woman can take out the water tank, can she take out more things?
Qiao Songzhi could never have imagined that the people who were huddled together on the water tank to avoid the water and keep warm the previous second would turn against each other the next second. Many hands reached out to grab her daughter, and Qiao Songzhi shouted:
"Don't touch my daughter! Feifei!"
Qiao Songzhi and Shao Shengfei had much better physical strength than the others. The ginseng they were holding in their mouths kept them alert, allowing them to repel the survivors with evil intentions in the first possible moment.
Plop, plop!
Qiao Songzhi couldn't see clearly, and Shao Shengfei was strong and powerful, so he pushed everyone else into the water at once. One of the most violent ones was even cut by Shao Shengfei's jungle knife.
Qiao Songzhi had lost her own backpack and crossbow, so she took the crossbow off her daughter's back, put the arrow in with shaking hands, and shouted at the people under the water tank: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
There were several figures swaying in front of him. Qiao Songzhi opened his eyes wide, not daring to expose the fact that he could not aim accurately.
Shao Shengfei held Qiao Qingqing and cried in one hand, while waving a jungle knife in the other hand to intimidate the people under the water tank.
The man covered his arm that was stabbed by Shao Shengfei, his eyes filled with desperate ferocity. He shouted, "You are so selfish! Don't you see that everyone is suffering? You have such powerful means, why don't you help everyone? You are so selfish and ruthless. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"Sister, please be kind. I'm so cold and hungry. Please let me go up."
"Shoot! Shoot if you can! Don't let me get up there or I'll kill you!"
"Give us that woman, and we'll leave."
The commotion here attracted more people. The man cheered and shouted the secret out loud.
Having just experienced an extremely desperate tornado and lightning strike, the survivors' spirits are in the most tense state. The fear of the disaster, the surprise of surviving, and the panic of losing everything again make their emotions easily ignite like a powder keg.
"Is she someone like Tang Monk? If we eat her, can we also have magical powers?"
"Hand over the food! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
"They look like they have everything they need. It's so unfair. My son is starving to death!"
"Hand it over! Hand it over! Hand over the food!"
"Hand it over!"
A dozen survivors approached the water tank, and all kinds of voices pierced Qiao Songzhi. Qiao Songzhi had realized the evil of human nature in the past few years, but she had never felt so painful as this moment. Obviously, these people in front of her did not know each other, but at this moment, they gathered together for the same goal and worked together to make her hand over her daughter. Even if there were no weapons on their outstretched hands, in the blurred eyes of Qiao Songzhi, those hands were like bone-cutting knives, and her daughter would definitely not end well if she fell into their hands.
How can this be possible? No!
Qiao Songzhi's hands began to tremble, and Shao Shengfei cried and called her "Mom Qiao".
An arrow was shot out and plunged into the water.
"Don't come over here!"
There were people surrounding the water tank, and Qiao Songzhi felt like a sheep surrounded by wolves, but how could she be a sheep? She still had her daughter and Feifei, so she had to think of herself as a wolf.
"She only has a crossbow, she doesn't dare to shoot us, let's catch her together!" the man shouted and rushed forward.
Shao Shengfei snatched the crossbow from Qiao Songzhi's hand and shot an arrow, which hit the man right in the chest. He lowered his head in disbelief, and blood dyed the water red. He grabbed the crossbow arrow on his chest in pain and fell into the water.
This scene shocked the people who gathered around the water tank.
"I told you not to come over. Yes, we only have one crossbow, but as long as my son aims at someone, he will shoot that person. He never misses a shot! You can all come together. I will drag a few more people to die together with me, and let you go to help others!"
Following Qiao Songzhi's words, Shao Shengfei moved with the crossbow, circling around those people.
One person stepped back, then the second...
They waded through the water to look for supplies, gradually going farther away, but some people still refused to give up. The horror brought by the natural disaster made them determined to get Qiao Qingqing's ability after seeing it. If they get it, they will definitely be able to survive, right?
The rain washed Qiao Qingqing's sleepy face. Qiao Songzhi wanted to take off her backpack and take out the emergency blanket to cover her daughter, but the wolves-like gazes around her made her hold the knife, put on the most ferocious expression of her life, and stare at those people viciously, trying to scare them and make them retreat.
A few people left, and there were still five people surrounding the water tank. Shao Shengfei suddenly shouted, "Mother Qiao is missing!"
Qiao Songzhi's heart sank: "Be careful in the water!"
As soon as the words fell, a hand stretched out from the water behind Qiao Songzhi beside the water tank, and pulled towards Qiao Songzhi with great force, trying to pull her into the water. Qiao Songzhi had the courage to fight to the death, knowing that she couldn't see clearly now, so she leaned back with the force. The attacker didn't expect it would be so easy to pull her into the water, and the force he used was too great, so it was difficult to retract it for a while. In the two seconds before she could react, Qiao Songzhi had already pounced on her and stabbed her hard with the bush knife in her hand.
Water splashed and red spread.
The man grabbed Qiao Songzhi's hand, struggled and kicked desperately, punching and kicking him, but Qiao Songzhi remained unmoved. The greater her determination to protect her daughter, the greater her strength. Qiao Songzhi had never wanted a person's life so much. She finally understood her daughter's feelings completely. When the person she loved most was in danger, what was killing? She dared to kill even if the gods and Buddhas came!
The more than one meter deep water became an inescapable cage. The man could not break free. Qiao Songzhi was determined to drag him to hell. She held the knife handle tightly, exerted force with her hands, feet, and waist. The two rolled under the water, fighting in the most primitive, simple and rough way, neither of them let the other leave. Finally, the man opened his mouth and drank water in big gulps. Qiao Songzhi held his breath to the limit. His chest and lungs were slightly painful after the collision. Holding his breath underwater made the pain worse, and his eardrums were buzzing.
The sound came from the water, with a vague and noisy sound effect. She could only make out that it was Feifei's voice. She couldn't hear what was said at all, and she couldn't spare the energy to listen.
Feeling the strength on his men's bodies relax, Qiao Songzhi sat up from underwater at the last moment before his lungs exploded.
"Cough, cough, cough!" The moist fresh air rushed into her chest, and Qiao Songzhi coughed hard, almost coughing out her lungs. Her face was choked with tears and snot, and Qiao Songzhi stared with her eyes wide open. She didn't know if it was the blood that covered her eyes, but she felt a sparkling red in front of her eyes.
"Don't come over here anymore. I'll kill anyone who comes over. Let's go to hell together!" Her voice was hoarse, and she looked like a water ghost that had just crawled out of hell to take her life.
Crash——
The blood and corpses cooled down the emotions and brought back rationality, and the remaining few people finally left. The water flow brought some messy supplies, so it was more cost-effective to quickly grab the supplies in the water.
Qiao Songzhi was soaking in the water, his body was cold but his heart was warm.
Shao Shengfei pulled her up and cried, asking her not to die.
"I, I won't die, Feifei, don't be afraid!" Qiao Songzhi's teeth chattered up and down, and she put down the knife with trembling hands, but her fingers were too stiff to loosen, so Shao Shengfei had to pry her fingers apart and take the knife down.
"Put the blanket over your head to keep out the rain."
Shao Shengfei obeyed and spread out the emergency blanket to cover him, Qiao Songzhi and Qiao Qingqing. The rain was blocked by the emergency blanket, and although his body was still wet, psychologically, it didn't seem that cold anymore.
Qiao Songzhi fumbled out a medicine box from her bag and took out the safflower oil. When she unscrewed the bottle cap, her hands shook and a lot of it fell out. She quickly caught it with her hands and carefully rubbed it on Qiao Qingqing's Ren Zhong and Taiyang acupoints. Then, according to the method Qiao Qingqing had taught her before, she grabbed her daughter's hand and pressed the acupoints on her fingers. After pressing for a while, her hands finally stopped shaking. She sobbed and pressed again and again under Shao Shengfei's expectant gaze, calling hoarsely: "Qingqing, come back soon, Mom is here."
