Chapter 133 Dead City in Water

[Exclusively published by Jinjiang Literature City]

Three days later, the eastern coastal areas.

It has only been about twenty days since the end of the world, but the eastern coast of the peninsula has become a dead city in the water.

For unknown reasons, in the cities on the eastern front that were the first to experience the tsunami, after nearly one-third of the buildings were destroyed by the tsunami, the water flowing into the cities did not recede, and continued to rise in the subsequent days of heavy rains.

Now, in the cities with the lowest altitude here, the water level has reached as high as the seventh or eighth floor. In some places, because they are depressions, the seawater cannot retreat and even floods even higher.

At such a level, except for a few high-rise buildings, the entire city's buildings have almost completely sunk into the water.

Eight floors, assuming that each floor is less than 3 meters, the depth of the water surface from the city ground at this moment is about 22-24 meters.

Without any equipment, the depth that normal people can dive is about 10 meters, and professional divers can dive to 15 to 17 meters. However, if you are trained and have all the equipment (including oxygen bottles), you can dive for two to three hundred meters.

Depths of meters can also be achieved.

You Xi and Tang Yatong can both dive. They are not particularly professional, and the diving tools they have prepared are not comprehensive. However, with their physical fitness, diving to such a depth is not a problem at all.

This is a high-rise building located on the edge of the city. It is a commercial building with a total of thirteen floors, from the waterline to the sixth floor.

One day ago, a group of five of them were unable to move forward after driving over the hilly slope ahead.

What stood in front of them was the sparkling water, and further away, there were buildings submerged in the water.

The nearby people had already evacuated at the beginning of the disaster, but the rain was still falling and never stopped. The water surface was gray under the hazy sky, and it was still slowly rising at a speed that was imperceptible to the naked eye.

Chen Lei and his son had been walking with "them" for several days, and they generally knew that "they" wanted to get supplies, but they didn't understand why "they" came to the most dangerous eastern coast.

There is water in front of us, and the water gets deeper as we get closer to the beach, making it impossible for cars to drive through.

Tang Yatong found a place to park nearby, put on his raincoat and got out of the car. He took out the electric rubber boat from the car (space) and started to inflate it. Within a moment, a rubber boat that could accommodate several people appeared.

You Xi looked at the size of the rubber boat, then silently returned to the car, took out a rubber boat from inside (Star House Warehouse) again, and also inflated it with an electric pump.

Chen Lei and his son helped tie the two rubber boats together, with the electric one in front and the manual ordinary rubber boat in the back, so that the thrust of the front one could drive the back one.

Tang Yatong and the others got out of the car with four or five pretentious waterproof luggage bags and threw them on the rubber boat in front. They also pointed to Chen Lei and his son at the area of ​​several dense high-rise buildings at the end of their sight.

She told the other party that today's task was to get there before dark, because they would spend the night there tonight.

"We are not joking. There is a secret seed warehouse somewhere in the water in front. This warehouse is now underwater, but it was built with waterproof measures. We want to try to see if we can get those seeds.

"

Chen Lei knew that the people in front of him had their own plans, and now he understood it immediately after hearing the seeds.

Now that the entire peninsula is in serious disaster, and foreign aid has been delayed in coming, it is a good thing to sit back and eat in the morning and evening. It is a good thing to prepare for a rainy day. Some vegetable seeds can be grown even indoors as long as there is suitable soil and light.

Potatoes are rich in carbohydrates and can replace staple food.

Lettuce has a short growth cycle and can survive hydroponic cultivation.



What's more, seeds are small and easy to carry. If you can get large quantities of seeds of various types, it will be far more useful than getting finished rice and pasta.

After that, the five people in raincoats got on the rubber boat with their luggage. Tang Yatong started the motor, and the rubber boat in front cut through the water, and took the rubber boat in the back towards their target high-rise area.

There are seven or eight high-rise buildings staggered around here. The highest is about twenty stories and the lowest is nine stories. Only two or three stories are exposed above the water, which looks a bit dangerous.

In the end, You Xi and Tang Yatong chose the thirteenth-floor building. The main reason was that the glass exposed to the water in this building was well preserved, which also meant that the internal conditions would be slightly better and would not be so humid that it would be uninhabitable.

The people here were evacuated in the first wave. At that time, the rescue efforts on the island were still very strong. Although they left in a very embarrassing way, most people escaped.

Therefore, although there is a lot of garbage floating near the water surface of the wall, no floating corpses have been seen yet. It is also possible that after the water level rose, it sank to the bottom, or it drifted to farther waters with the typhoon.

You Xi took out the glass blasting tool from his luggage bag, removed the entire piece of glass in one swift movement, then jumped into the building first, and helped the following people enter the building.

Finally, they broke open a larger glass wall and pulled two rubber boats into the building.

Because there are fewer offices rented out in commercial buildings on the edge of the city, more than half of the buildings are vacant.

In some rented offices, various tables and chairs were overturned, and it seemed that people were running away in a hurry.

Because it was an orderly evacuation, and the area was not affected by the initial tsunami, there were no bodies in the building. However, most of the building was flooded, and there was a damp smell that lingered inside.

They came at the right time. At this time, most people were thinking about how to escape and go to a safer place. Although supplies were tight, they were not in short supply, so no one would risk returning during this period.

These cities collect supplies.

The capable rescue team members, on the other hand, have no skills and cannot come over.

In another month, the Lushan Peninsula will still be in the same situation. Even if the rescue team does not come, it is estimated that the people will spontaneously organize teams and take the risk to search for supplies.

They found the safety stairs, went all the way up, and finally settled in the east-facing room on the twelfth floor.

This used to be a club, with sofas and suites where you could rest. Although it had a lot of dust, you could live in it after cleaning it up. It was better than the accommodations they had along the way.

You Zhenzhen originally had a bit of a mysophobia. In addition, she had gone to the Highland Scenic Area with You Xi very early and stayed in high-end hotels. She was always urged by You Xi to take a shower every day when she got the chance.

The journey from the central to the eastern part of the country in the past two days had left her so exhausted that she couldn't even think about taking a shower. When she was sleepy and tired, she could only sleep in the car. When she was hungry, she could only eat fast food such as sandwiches and hamburgers. She could seize the opportunity to hide.

A bowl of beef noodle soup in the car is already a great treat.

There were floods everywhere, and they drove in a circuitous way. In addition, Tang Yatong and You Xi both wanted to rush to the east as soon as possible. They only rested for four or five hours at night, and spent the rest of the time taking turns finding roads and driving.

The journey that originally took at most five or six hours took them two days.

Therefore, even though he still couldn't take a shower that night and slept in an unfamiliar dark building, You Zhenzhen still slept soundly because he could lie on the bed.

After she fell asleep, You Xi and Tang Yatong took a luggage bag with supplies and went to the next room to find Chen Lei and his son.

After two days of getting along, the other party behaved very well. She didn't like to cause trouble, and she didn't make random ideas. Even if she knew they were coming to the east, she didn't question them excessively.

Inside the supply bag were 20 bottles of mineral water, some military ration bags, instant rice, self-heating hot pot, canned luncheon meat and a bag of dehydrated vegetables.

In addition, there are lighters, candles, thermal blankets, multi-functional knives, electric shock batons, a bottle of water purification tablets (pack of 100 tablets) and some basic medicines.

"This is this?" When the other party saw such a complete bag of supplies, they didn't dare to reach out to take it. "We also have supplies ourselves, and I noticed on the way up that some companies have automatic purchasing machines with a lot of snacks in them.

Regarding drinks, Xinxin and I plan to scan from top to bottom tomorrow and find everything that is edible and usable."

"These are for you to spare. We will temporarily separate tomorrow and leave a rubber boat for you. You wait here for two days. If we don't come back after two days, you can go back to Qiupo. It is safer to drive to the peninsula.

place.”

It's not that Tang Yatong doesn't trust them, but after all, they have only been together for a few days. Even if they can explain the origin of the Youxi speedboat, what about when they go into the water to search for the material warehouse?

They couldn't be 100% at ease leaving You Zhenzhen alone on the speedboat with them. Instead of doing this, it was better to let them wait for them in the nearby water.

If they are so unlucky and a typhoon comes again, they can return as quickly as possible to take them with them. If they are afraid and don't want to wait, they can also directly leave the water in a rubber boat and drive to find a place to take shelter.

They had noticed before that there were several B&Bs near Qiupo. Although they were dilapidated by wind and rain and no one was inside, they could still temporarily avoid the wind and rain due to the terrain.

Chen Lei didn't know how the other three would drive a rubber boat to search for the warehouse in such deep waters, and how they would open the warehouse and get the seeds safely after finding it, but he also understood that he and his son would stay here and wait for the other party.

Maybe it's safer than following the other person.

After all, he had already prepared to volunteer to take the lead and personally go into the water to help.

But after all, they didn't have any auxiliary tools, so it was very dangerous to enter the water like this. Now that they heard that they just had to wait here, they actually felt relieved.

Chen Shengxin is twenty-one years old this year. He is a relatively shy big boy. He heard his father chatting with the other party before, but he never spoke. Now when he heard his father promised to stay and wait, he couldn't help it: "What about Zhenzhen? She also

Are you going along? Isn’t it safer for her to stay?”

The meaning behind these words was so obvious that You Xi turned her head and glanced at him a few more times.

The other party was pretty good-looking, with red lips and white teeth. He was pretty and very brave before. When he was in the hotel, even if he saw that the other party had a knife, he dared to save people and even got injured for it.

It's a pity that it's a little bit short-sighted.

Chen Lei was a little helpless. He patted his son on the back and gave him a hint: "He must be with his family, so you don't need to worry about this kind of thing."

The two parties reached an agreement, and at the insistence of the other party, Chen Lei left the supplies and said that he would be here waiting for them to come back safely no matter if it takes two days, three days or four days.

The rubber boat cut through the water and slowly moved away as Chen Lei and his son watched.

What they paddled away was You Xi's manual version of the rubber boat, leaving the electric rubber boat for the other party. After all, the other party was just an ordinary person. If they really wanted to escape, the electric one would definitely be faster.

You Zhenzhen felt the eager eyes watching her from inside the building. He turned his head twice, and each time he saw Chen Shengxin standing in the gap of the building waving to him.

"..." You Zhenzhen let out a long sigh.

Tang Yatong glanced at her, and You Xi reached out and pinched her fair cheek: "Why are you sighing, little kid? Don't be afraid. Once you row a little further and there are buildings to block it, you can get on the boat."

"It's not because of this." You Zhenzhen held her cheek, her tone was a little helpless, but there was also a little confidence in her helplessness, "Just... sometimes being too beautiful is a sin. Look, I haven't been there for three days."

I washed my hair and took a shower, but I didn’t even wash my face when I woke up this morning, and that guy Chen Shengxin was still looking at me like a crazy person..."

You Xi:……

Tang Yatong looked blank, rowing the oar with one hand and touching a cigarette at the same time.

The little girl is so talented, she wants to use cigarettes to relieve the mmp that she has been holding in her heart for a long time...

Twenty minutes later, You Xi signaled Tang Yatong to stop, and then released her brand new, unused, three-story yacht on the water in front of her.

"Holy shit!" Tang Yatong, who was holding a cigarette without lighting it and was just addicted to smoking, looked at the ultra-super luxury yacht with white background and log color in front of her, and was once again shocked by You Dora Xi, "Is this what you said?"

Is it a big ship?"

"Seventy-five feet long, can be driven by one person, has a maximum speed of 20 knots, has a low draft and is very fuel-efficient. It has three decks, panoramic hull windows, and the flybridge can also be fully operated to close the glass door to form a fully enclosed space.

The lower deck has two suites with bathrooms and a common room as well as a large storage room. The main deck from front to back is a leisure salon area with sofas, a fully equipped kitchen, two internal and external dining rooms and storage rooms. The three decks are in addition to the bridge.

In addition, there are also indoor and outdoor deck leisure areas at the back.”

You Xi recalled the introduction he saw when the world figures in Acid Rain World bought this yacht, "By the way, be careful when getting on the boat, because there are a full set of spare maintenance tools and four tools on the deck and in the cabin.

Fifty boxes of supplies.”

After You Xi finished speaking, he paddled the rubber boat and changed direction and came to the deck behind the yacht.
