Chapter 365: Run Away
Another thing is that the hill they left was indeed some distance away from the city, so that the boat had been sailing on the water for a day and a night but still had not reached its destination.
Captain Zhang called over the members of his team from City R and asked, "Are you sure we're not taking the wrong road? We've driven this far, so shouldn't we see any residential areas?"
"It's in this area. We're almost there. R City is so huge. It took us a while to get all the residents to the base. Just wait a little longer. Another two or three hours of driving will be enough."
To be honest, the area where their ship was sailing was already a residential area, but the terrain was low. Even though the water was much shallower now, it was still underwater, so there would naturally be no survivors here. The residents closest to them were actually in the high-rise buildings in the city center.
Captain Zhang could only accept his fate and nodded, "Alright."
The journey was smooth, and just as the team members said, after the ship had been sailing for 2 or 3 hours, they really saw a residential area not far away.
Although there may not be anyone over there, being here is a cause for celebration. Besides, a mission is a mission, and no matter whether there are people there or not, nothing that needs to be done should be left out.
Captain Zhang took out a loudspeaker, recorded a piece of audio in advance, and played it on a loop on the ship.
In order to search for survivors, the ship's speed naturally slowed down a lot.
However, there were already unknown creatures in the water, and the noise from their ship's movement might have attracted these creatures, not to mention the horn being blown at this moment. Almost immediately, something hit the left side of the ship and almost capsized it.
Bang
Lan Jin, who was sleeping in the lounge, was thrown up from the bed. When he was about to touch the wall in front of him, he dodged and hid in the space, narrowly avoiding it.
Ke Lanjin has space, but others don’t.
When the ship was almost capsized, it hit the wall directly, but it did not capsize. That is to say, after hitting the wall, its inertia threw them back.
Even a strong body cannot withstand such continuous impacts, let alone a good rest.
Hearing the knock on the door, Lan Jin hurried out of the space, landed steadily on the ground, then opened the door to inquire about the situation.
"What's going on? You almost killed me just now."
Chen Zhiyan next door said: "I am the same, luckily I am good at fighting and didn't hit him head on, otherwise my nose would be flat."
Lan Jin replied, "I was lying on my side, and I could barely lift my left arm."
Of course, the conditions of the other team members were similar. Some of them had hit their heads and were bleeding, and were now looking for first aid kits to bandage their wounds.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhi immediately said, "Let's go to the deck and take a look. We don't know what could have caused the boat to crash."
Lao Gao rubbed his right arm and said, "It's just the same ones. But this time the noise was too loud. Could it be because of the loudspeaker that disturbed them?"
"Who knows? Let's go and see."
A group of people came to the deck, and the situation of the people on the deck was not optimistic. Due to the hot weather, there were not many people patrolling on the deck, but it was impossible that there was no one there. Look, there was Shen Zhiyu and Zhang Ye.
Between the two of them, one has decent superpowers and the other is very skilled, so if they work together, there shouldn't be any major problems.
In addition to these two people, there was also Captain Zhang who had just put up the loudspeaker and was about to wait and see the situation before going back.
There is no doubt about the skills of Shen Zhiyu and Captain Zhang. Although they were a little embarrassed, the situation was not bad. But the current situation is that Zhang just fell into the water and never got up again without even struggling.
Shen Zhiyu looked at the place where Zhang Ye fell for a long time, but he still didn't see any figure. This was a difficult situation.
"Could it be eaten?" Captain Zhang frowned.
But if I eat it, that doesn't make sense either. "If you eat it, open your mouth. There should be bubbles. I think it's entangled."
Shen Zhiyu had been watching this side the entire time, from the moment Zhang Ye fell into the water until he never got up again, without shifting his gaze for a single moment. So he definitely didn't eat him directly. What puzzled him the most was, "Zhang Ye has plant-based abilities. He could have gotten out by grabbing my hand. He must have been too scared and forgot to use his abilities."
Everyone fell silent for a moment, and Lan Jin immediately used his lightning ability to shock the entire area around the ship. The electricity was so strong that water splashed everywhere, and those on the deck were almost soaked.
Lan Jin apologized, "I'm sorry. I was in such a hurry just now that I didn't pay attention. I thought it might be very close to us, so I charged it a little closer."
Lan Jin was originally trying to save people, so getting drenched in water was nothing. No one really blamed her.
But the strange thing is that even though the battery has been used up, there is still so much power. It should have floated up, so why can't we see anything now?
Captain Zhang said anxiously, "Lan Jin, please give it another shock, a stronger one. I don't think something is right."
Lan Jin didn't understand what was going on, so he immediately sent another round of electric shocks towards the water. However, no matter how far or near the ship it was, he couldn't shock the thing that had just hit them.
Lan Jin asked doubtfully, "Could it be that thing isn't afraid of electricity?"
After being stunned for a moment, Shen Zhiyan said, "Apart from rubber, is there anything else in the world that is not conductive?"
"Electrical storage devices, they can absorb electricity and also discharge it," Huang Jinghe answered seriously. But Lan Jin still didn't understand what this had to do with the creatures in the water. She asked, "Are you trying to tell me that those creatures in the water can absorb my electricity and use it on me? Let's not talk about the post-apocalypse, where there are all kinds of things, but did this exist before the apocalypse?"
"I don't know." Huang Jinghe said, "This is beyond my knowledge, but otherwise why didn't it charge?"
"Why else? He ran too fast." Lan Jin replied.
"But where is our fallen team member?"
"He got carried away by that thing," Lan Jin said speechlessly. "While you're talking, can't you open the underwater equipment and take a look? Isn't our ship very high-tech? Doesn't it have this equipment?"
Lan Jin remembered that they used this device when they came here.
Captain Zhang put down the walkie-talkie and replied, "I checked. It's underwater. There's nothing around."
That means the thing that hit the ship just ran away.
