Chapter 370 Return to J City
This is a provocation, a definite provocation, but they don't even know who did it.
Captain Zhang said, "This must be man-made."
Lao Gao said as a matter of course: "Of course it is. The puffs of these things have been cut off. Even if they are not dead, they can't move on their own without puffs. And even if they want to move, they should return to the water, not appear on the deck."
At this time, Zhou Zhiye said, "No, this fish is so big, ordinary people... no, one or two people can't move people from there to the deck. Let's not underestimate the size and weight of the fish."
Come to think of it, it's true.
"Then who did this? There's no surveillance on the deck, and no one's on board."
Captain Zhang rubbed his forehead and said, "Get the fish to the shore, don't throw it back into the water, and then let's get out of here quickly."
At this point, they had added another unsolved mystery along the way.
After dealing with the fish on the deck and integrating the ships, the three ships left here at the fastest speed.
…
The integration of the ships was to integrate the remaining approximately 50 people into two ships, and the dented ship also started automatic driving and followed closely behind the other two ships.
It would be such a waste to let the ship just follow like this, since it was unwanted anyway, so Captain Zhang installed a loudspeaker on the ship.
The three ships were searching for people as they sailed.
Although they did not find any survivors, they completed everything they needed to do perfectly.
only--
The ship equipped with the horn was attacked continuously before it even reached H City, and was completely submerged under water.
Captain Zhang looked at the now-vanished ship and said sadly, "Don't be too sad. It's still uncertain whether we can save this ship."
So, it's just a ship, there's really no need for this.
But in fact, except for Captain Zhang, no one was sad. Everyone had a good attitude. They thought it was good enough to be alive. They had not yet reached their destination, so they just had to take care of themselves and didn't care about getting on the boat.
Captain Zhang was embarrassed and never brought up the topic again.
…
The ship sailed for several more days and finally arrived within the scope of J City.
Looking at the familiar buildings around them, Lan Jin reminded them, "Captain Zhang, I have a suggestion. It's best if we take a detour. The four of us came to this area to look for supplies before, but with the water level dropping now, it's estimated that there's no water in that area. It's best if we take a detour, otherwise we won't be able to move on."
What Lan Jin was talking about was the commercial park in the suburbs. She had taken out a car from the space to use, and the four of them had been searching for supplies here for several days.
At that time, only a few floors of the commercial park here were flooded. Even if it hasn't bottomed out now, it's still not enough for such a large ship to sail.
Captain Zhang couldn't just listen to their one-sided story, so he immediately took out a visual drone and started searching a location some distance ahead.
It would have been fine if I hadn't looked, but now that I did, I was shocked to see that the ground over there was completely dry.
Lan Jin said, "I thought there should still be some water left, but I didn't expect it to have receded so much. It looks like it won't be long before the water is gone."
Shen Zhiyan said, "J City is a lake city, and it's prone to flooding when it rains. To be honest, J City is the most severely flooded city among the surrounding cities. There are places in J City that have exposed the bottom. I'm afraid the water in H City is almost dry as well."
Shen Zhiyu asked: "With the water level so low, will anyone clear it? This way the water level should drop faster."
Captain Zhang said, "In the past, someone would have cleared the ice soon after it melted. After all, it's not as severe as the flooding in J City. Anyone could put on a diving suit and go in. But, there's something in the water here, so who would dare to go in?"
Even he himself was worried about the team members at the base going into the water.
Once this person goes down, he is not going to work at all, but to die. In addition, they were attacked by mutant creatures before and have been doing the transfer work since then, so they probably don't have the time to do this.
Shen Zhiyu said: "Let's go to H City first. If the water in H City is not deep, I'm afraid that R City is already above water."
Moreover, once the water level in H City drops, this large ship will no longer be able to continue sailing. Of course, this is not a big problem. When they first came out, they were well prepared to deal with any situation. At that time, they could just abandon the large ship and drive the small boat.
But yeah.
A small boat is not as safe as a big ship. No matter how shallow the water is, it is still water. The things hidden in the water are invisible and intangible. Once you get entangled in it, it will be really troublesome.
…
Since this road was not passable, Captain Zhang immediately planned a new route. Everyone went forward in a circle. The most emotional among them must have been Lan Jin and the other three.
Lan Jin pointed to the residential complex ahead and said, "This, this is the community we lived in at the beginning of the apocalypse. The floodwaters were so high then. This is only a few floors high. The 10th floor was the highest."
You can see how much the water level has dropped.
However, this extreme heat has only been going on for a few months. Even if the water level drops, it won't drop that much.
Captain Zhang explained, "Not all the water evaporates. We still need some of it. It's a free resource, so why not use it?"
This kind of water is definitely not suitable for drinking, but it can be used to flush the toilet or take a shower after recycling and purification. In addition, some things also need water to operate, such as power generation, which consumes a lot of water. Add to that some other things, in short, the high temperature for several consecutive months and no rain means that a lot of water is consumed.
Huang Jinghe suddenly asked, "If we use it this way, will the water resources run out one day?"
Captain Zhang choked. "That's nonsense, so the important thing is to get rid of the extreme heat as soon as possible."
But the extreme heat has only just arrived, how can it go away so quickly?
But Captain Zhang is an insider, so who knows what inside information he might have.
Lan Jin looked at him and asked thoughtfully, "Captain Zhang, how long will this extreme heat last? The people above can predict the weather before, so there's no reason they can't predict the weather later."
Captain Zhang smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't know about this. We're all insiders now. If I knew, I would definitely tell you directly."
Lan Jin didn't believe it. "Captain Zhang, you don't need to waste time. When have you ever told the truth?"
So, she wouldn't believe it.
