Chapter 158 - Thirst

."Beijing..." Zhan Feng looked at his friend around him and smiled, "Why, have you noticed this too?"

"Of course." Tianxiang nodded: "Such an alien fleet with unknown intentions actually wants to cross the ocean to Beijing. Its purpose itself is quite problematic. If I guess correctly, their purpose is likely to be exactly the same as us."

"You mean... the sky umbrella?" Zhan Feng said in surprise: "How is this possible? How could they know about the " sky umbrella"?" "How is it impossible? Don't forget that I also learned about the existence of the " sky umbrella" by chance. What's more, the world six hundred years ago had various communication methods. It is impossible for other countries to know about the large-scale project of the Asian Federation. In addition, all the earth institutions at that time participated in the "Pathfinder" project, so it is naturally not a rare thing to know the secret of the existence of the " sky umbrella".

Zhan Feng didn't say anything, but just thought about it attentively. After a while, he said, "What are you going to do? Let them enter Beijing? Or force them to detain them? You know, the order you left to Xia Dong at the beginning was to kill all the personalities entering that area!" "Not bad! But the appearance of these foreign people gave me a new idea." Tian Xiang smiled and said, "If you can obtain the exclusive text version of this work 16  k Novel Network, you may not reprint or excerpt without permission.

... "What? Do you want to swallow a hunting tribe?" Zhan Feng was a little surprised: Are you crazy? They probably won't agree to your conditions at all. They have a boat and can retreat from the sea at any time. If you want to take the opportunity to launch an attack, there will be more people in the end, and there will naturally be fewer people joining us. "No, no, no! I have never wanted to attack by force from the beginning." Tianxiang quickly explained: "I mean. They have been sailing on the sea for so long, and they must have missed the feeling of land very much. What's more, there is no tangible evidence that their purpose is "the umbrella". I think a little temptation can sometimes play a much stronger role than weapons..."

The Pods had too many fleets. Although the facilities at Dongdu Port were complete, they could not berth such a large fleet at one time. Therefore, they could only enter the port in batches and receive fresh water supply at the docks. Dong was a city with abundant water, and several rivers were within its control range. Therefore, the task of replenishing such a huge fleet of drinking water was nothing for this city.

Several rubber water pipes as thick as arms were connected from the water pump port of the dock and pulled up the nearby ship. The crew members with tired faces and chapped their lips hurriedly approached the water pipe. Swallowed the water pipes as clear as dew for them. Then, they were excited to drag the water pipes into the cabin. Suddenly, a wave of obvious ecstasy with choked tears came from the huge cabin and spread to all corners of the dock... "It seems that they have been short of water for a day or two. I really don't know how they supported their sailing on the sea and came here."

Looking at the chaotic scenes of people fighting for water pipes on one boat after another, listening to the sounds of pain and laughter combined. Zhan Feng sighed with emotion, but did not notice that a strange smile appeared on the faces of the friends around him. Although the facilities in the Dongdu Pier were quite complete, the berth was enough for more than 50 ships to dock at the same time. However, it took a lot of time to replenish freshwater. With just a few water pipes taking turns to deliver water, the speed seemed quite slow. In addition, the long-thirsty Bodes used small boats to pick up the Danshui back and forth in order to relieve the water shortage on the ship first. Therefore, after a day, no ship left the current berth. The water pump that controlled the freshwater flow was not turned off for a moment.

They were so thirsty. Tianxiang silently stared at a ragged scull boat. It had been back and forth between the two big ships twice, in order to send thick round wooden barrels filled with clear water to those big ships that had not been able to receive water for the time being. The ship was very small, and only six wooden barrels could be shipped at one time. However, these bulky guys were welcomed unprecedentedly. People who had been suffering from thirst for a long time, and could not even wait for them to be transported onto the boat, so they couldn't wait to pry open the plug on the wooden barrel and poured the cool liquid into their throats with an indescribable desire and comfort. A boy, who was about twelve or three years old, probably was so thirsty that he snatched the thick water pipe and stuffed it into his mouth in a hurry.

With his cleaved lips and wide open mouth, Tianxiang suddenly felt a sense of discomfort in his heart. He counted the time one second and two minutes later, the gushing water pipe had not been pulled out of the mouth by the boy. You know, such a large water pipe had a terrible flow. Tianxiang could not imagine how such a thin body could withstand so much water... Soon, what he was worried about finally happened. The boy's greedy behavior finally attracted the attention of people around him. They were surprised to see: the boy's originally shriveled belly had expanded into a round ball at some point. It was so big and thick, compared with his thin body, it was like a huge tumor suddenly appeared on a slender wooden stick.

The boy's eyes were already bulging and white, and his breathing almost stopped. For a moment, greedy actions had to be paid at a huge price. I'm afraid even he himself did not expect that the passionate desire for water would cause his own death. A ragged woman rushed over from the gaps in the crowd and cried and lay on the boy's body. She desperately squeezed his belly that was about to explode, hoping to use this method to save his son's life. However, it was too late to do so. Under repeated squeezing, a stream of clear liquid also emerged from the boy's mouth. Gradually, it began to become turbid, and finally, wisps of red bloodshot were finally seeping out of the boy's mouth.........

He drank too much, and his stomach bag had been dry for a long time and could not bear the sudden huge pressure. Coupled with endless violent indoctrination, he finally had to blow the mouth helplessly and break...

The boy's violent death caused a temporary calmness to the crowd in the chaos. After a sudden change, he returned to the original struggle. The inner desire for drinking water had already made them forget the threat and terror of death. Instead, it was a madness that was desperate to get rid of the torment of thirst.

"Notify the city managers. Let them collect a batch of new water pipes and use the fastest speed to the dock. Let all these poor people be relieved!" Tianxiang sighed and issued his orders to the guards beside him. Although he had seen too many deaths, his nerves were almost numb. However, after seeing the boy's miserable way of death, he still felt compassion involuntarily... You know, the taste of thirst is actually far more unbearable than hunger.

The robbery on the ship continued. Maybe it was stimulated by those companions who first entered the port to get fresh water! There were a large number of ships moored on the sea, and they could no longer bear the small amount of water transported back and forth of the boat. There were so many people on each ship, how could a few wooden barrels containing water meet everyone's needs? In this way, under the influence of desire and unbearable torture, the originally neat fleet also had chaos. They began to squeeze forward desperately. In order to just want to enter the port earlier, the term "traveling line" should be familiar to humans. In ancient society, people often lined up to get some items distributed at fixed locations. Of course, not everyone was willing to abide by the established rules, and there were always people who wanted to get more in front of people. Therefore, the behavior of jumping line arises naturally.

A line-leader appears in a queue of hundreds of people, which often arouses everyone's accusation. However, if there are more than a dozen, dozens, or even more of the line-leaders at the same time, it will inevitably cause a riot. The final result can only be to attract the attention of the order maintainers, and rely on various violent means to reorganize the queue. However, for many ships anchored in a narrow sea, line-leader is simply a terrible disaster. The chaos, first of all, is

A wooden ship with a tonnage of about 2,000 yuan was caused by a wooden ship with a tonnage of about 2,000 yuan. Judging from the numbers marked with white paint on the side of the ship, its ship number should be 107. It was probably because the people who could drink from other ships entering the port had a happy expression on their faces! It might be because they could no longer bear the painful thirst on their ships. In short, without sending out any situation, the operator of the wooden ship left the team they followed without authorization, increased their speed, and from the side of the fleet.

Going around quickly, rushing to the queue closest to the port, and never coming out again. Such behavior will naturally cause fierce protests and reprimands among the waiting ships. They shouted, scolded, and used all the means that they could use. However, the people who were tortured by thirst and had already lost their minds turned a blind eye. They instructed them to open their cracked lips and licked the blood oozing out with their dry and sticky tongues. The red ones

My eyes also seemed to see hope and open my head. I used all the actions I could show: water, I want to drink water. Not only this boat of people was thirsty. People were thirsty when they crossed the ocean. Everyone's throats seemed to be burned by fire. Everyone hoped that at this time, a bowl of cool fresh water could be swallowed in a big mouthful, flowing slowly along their necks to all corners of their bodies that were almost withering...

At this time, even if anyone wants to exchange a little fresh water with them with delicious food like a hill, it is nothing more than a fool. These poor people whose bodies have been squeezed into jerky will rather be starved to death than drink happily before death. Therefore, the deviant behavior of the No. 107 ship will naturally be angry (unclearly) by other waiting people.

The first choice is the No. 206 ship located behind it. Unlike the rushing people who rushed in, the people carrying this ship were already eager to see the port. When they saw the pipe gushing with water on the shore and were about to be handed onto the ship, the joy and relief covered by great happiness in their hearts suddenly filled everyone's brains. The urgent feeling was like a desperate struggle in a disabled trap, and suddenly saw the little hope of survival above their heads that was within reach... However, such hope was shattered by the No. 107 ship that was circling from behind.

It may take at least one hour to wait for a boat to load water. To be honest, this time is not too long for them. After all, after drifting on the sea for so long, it has already developed immense patience. Just an hour is nothing to them. However, the genes of human beings are so strange. When everyone has no water to drink, everyone can give each other a humble manner, and even deliver the last sip of life-saving water they have to others without hesitation. But they sit aside with a smile, shaking their dry throat, and with an extremely satisfying sense of satisfaction, looking at the recipient's extremely gratefulness, carefully swallowing this small amount of leftover water...

After all, everyone is the same tribe and is all friends sitting on the same boat. At this time, everyone's status is not different. Some just want to show their noble and friendly feelings.

However, once the situation changes, once the supply of materials is very sufficient, those noble givers will immediately turn into another appearance. They will work hard with others to get fresh water that they can drink. You must know that they are also thirsty and need water to drink. They also hope to relieve the terrible threat to their bodies as soon as possible.

It was from this moment that the tragic fate of the No. 107 ship was already destined. Under the encouragement of others, the captain of the No. 206 ship was already extremely angry. He did not think much about it. While cursing the damn train in front of him, he drove at full speed and used the sharp bow of the steel knife to hit the weak stern of the No. 107. Then, amid the crazy cheers and praises of his side, he turned the rudder again and pulled a sufficient distance with a reversal. He increased his horsepower again, inserted the No. 107 ship line from the side, and squeezed the wooden ship that seized his original position out of the queue. The mutual squeeze between the ships caused a huge collision, but the two ships that were shaking did not tilt or tilt. They were still like two sister ships who wanted to enter the port at the same time, as if they were inseparable.

The edge of the wooden boat was already worn out, and coupled with the long-distance sailing, the iron sheets on the outside of the boat had already appeared in tiny cracks. The 206 ship squeezed all of these cracks in that moment. Amid the harsh "screw" sound, the iron sheets were torn off from the side of the 107 ship under two completely opposite forces, revealing the white wood wrapped inside. That scene was like a huge banana peeled. Of course, violators could not accept such an encounter. For a moment, shouting and insults came out from the mouths of the people standing at the bow of the ship, and instantly enveloped the narrow space. The purpose was just to vent it.

Sometimes the curses have no effect at all, especially in this case, the No. 107 ship has long become the target of the entire fleet. More and more people agree with the No. 206 ship's actions, and from the ships following behind, there are also bursts of accusations against No. 107 from the ship that follows it. Some ships even directly sounded the whistle and expressed support for No. 206's actions that originally belonged to their own interests. For a moment, everyone's protest pointed the finger at No. 107. It was completely isolated there, like a ship despised by the tribe.

If things could be dealt with in time here, then a series of tragedies in the future might not happen again. However, the fleet manager did not know that he had not noticed this small friction, or that he thought it was not worth it for him. In short, the blame for ship No. 107 continued. No one realized how much harm he would bring to a group of isolated people. Tianxiang, who was standing on the port alert tower, also clearly saw this scene. In fact, even he himself did not expect at all what consequences people's unintentional actions would cause. He just watched a ship that had just entered the port to replenish freshwater. He also greeted the port managers to transport the water pipes as soon as possible. Only in this way can the fleet's replenishment speed be accelerated.
