Julia's search for the Yangtze River was, according to her own words, "smelling through her nose."

"I can smell the river." "The closer you go, the stronger the smell becomes, the more vapour it smells," she said. ”

Yin Zhen looked at her: "You have a dog nose?" ”

“…… Ah Zhen, don't just say that I'm annoying in the future. ”

"How?"

"The ability of the two of us to be disgusting seems to be half a catty."

Julia's taste is very skillful, and after walking for more than an hour, they can see the tidal flats on the riverside in the distance.

At this moment, it was four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was still set.

They had to find a boat before it got dark.

"Look, there." Julia whispered.

Following her finger and looking over, Yin Zhen saw a boat moored by the river. The boat is very large, there are three layers up and down, and the top layer is also wrapped around a circle of tattered colored cloth, the dirty colored cloth is crackled by the evening breeze, and from time to time it covers the rusty mottled red words: River View Cruise.

"Sit on this?" Yin Zhen was stunned and said, "How can this ship be driven?" ”

"Who said to drive this ship? Such cruise ships are generally equipped with lifeboats. Julia said, "Get on the boat and look for it, I guess I'll be tied to the stern side." ”

So they cautiously walked through the dense reeds, and at the same time, looking around vigilantly, Yin Zhen took the lead, he used a long knife to cut through the thick reeds, and opened the way for Julia behind. In Julia's hand, she was holding the carbine.

It was twilight at the moment, and the sun had already set halfway, and the red light was shining on the river, and the water was rippling, and the surroundings showed an unreal brilliance. Together with the autumn wind, several long-tailed waterfowl flew past them with their chirping.

Yin Zhen suddenly stood up and whispered, "Where is Sunset Township?" The Yanbo River makes people sad. ”

"Don't be nostalgic, be careful to conceive zombies." Julia interrupted him.

The reeds, which were taller than a man, fell one by one under Yin Zhen's sharp blade, and they quickly crossed the tidal flats and came to the river. Originally, there was a road made of planks and iron cables on the cruise ship, but now the planks were rotting, Yin Zhen grabbed the iron railing and stepped on it carefully, and the planks creaked.

"Okay." He said softly, "You can stand people." ”

Julia followed him up to the plank, and she walked on the rickety and dilapidated plank, while carefully observing the movement of the ship in front of her, called the "Riverview Cruise", the sky was already dark, and the scene in the cabin was not clear, but there were some outlines, quite like the side of a person.

"Won't it be a zombie?" Yin Zhen asked worriedly.

Julia also stopped, she thought for a moment: "Only this ship has been found now, this Chenguang, we can't go back - first find out if there is a lifeboat." ”

As they spoke, they touched the edge of the ship's side.

They glanced at each other, and in the twilight, they could see the encouragement in each other's eyes, which made their fears lower a little.

When I came up to the cruise, I saw a broken board horizontally outside, which was written with a color pen: a one-day trip to the river view, 350 yuan per person, including two meals. Julia looked inside the cabin, the windows were inlaid with brown glass, and now the light was even darker, and she could barely see anything. Just in case, Julia handed the carbine to Yoon Jin, and she quickly ran to the stern of the boat like a cat to search the lifeboat.

At the stern, Julia couldn't help but cry out with joy, and sure enough, just outside the stern, a lifeboat was tied with a rope. She immediately drew her machete and slashed at the thumb-thick rope. Although the knives in Julia's hands were sharp, these ropes were as hard as iron for too long, and it took more than a dozen slashes to cut off the main line in them. Grabbing the rope, Julia slowly lowered the lifeboat to the surface of the river.

"How? Is there a ship? Yin Zhen asked behind her.

"Hmmm! Let's just take this lifeboat back, even with the oars. Julia said, tossing her backpack into the lifeboat.

"It's not a big place." She turned back to Yin Zhen and said, "But it's okay to pretend to be two people-"

Before she finished her words, her face changed suddenly, and the knife in her hand had already flown over Yin Zhen's head!

"There's a zombie in the cabin!" She shouted, "Ah-jin, shoot!" ”

While their attention was focused on the lifeboat, the zombies in the depths of the cabin were awakened, and now they crawled out of the bilge one by one!

Yin Zhen came back to his senses, and after he was stunned for a short time, he habitually picked up the carbine!

It was the first time Julia had seen Yin Zhen shoot, and in the hazy twilight, he saw this novice who had never fired before, holding the carbine, and firing fiercely at the zombies that rushed over.

A loud bang exploded in Julia's ears, and in the flames, she saw that Yin Zhen's face was so terrifying, pale without the slightest blood, but his eyes were extremely calm. When the first shot was fired, he staggered back two steps and almost fell, probably unaware of the recoil of the gun, but from the second shot, the man's posture was very decent. Next, Yin Zhen hit the head of the zombie on the opposite side with every shot, but in a moment, five or six blackened corpses fell in front of him.

"Get on board! Hurry up! Yin Zhen shouted at Julia while resisting the zombies.

"So what do you do!" Julia looked at the hatch and there were more and more zombies, "They're all pouring out of the bilge!" ”

"I have a way! Leave me alone, you go down first! ”

Julia knocked down all the tall cardboard boxes piled up next to the cabin and formed a small trench in front of the zombies. But the obstacle was too weak, and the zombies climbed over the piles of their companions' corpses one after another, and began to climb towards the pile of cardboard boxes again.

"Fast forward to the lifeboat!" Yin Zhen pushed Julia, "Hurry! Don't let the zombies rob you! ”

"Okay, you jump off quickly!"

With that, Julia grabbed the side of the boat with both hands, grabbed the hanging rope, slid off the boat, and jumped into the lifeboat.

Standing firmly on the dinghy, Julia looked up at the cruise ship, Yin Zhen was still firing, but the zombies in front of him did not decrease.

"I should have killed a few more for him just now!" Julia clenched her fists in regret.

At this moment, several zombie probes looked down and found her traces, and they even grabbed the rope and wanted to come down!

Julia suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, but fortunately, the zombie couldn't balance her hands and feet, and couldn't complete the difficult action of climbing the rope.

However, the target of the living is below, the zombies have changed their routes, they try to pounce directly into the lifeboat, Julia is nervous, the dinghy is such an area, it really falls in the boat, then she will be miserable!

At this time, Yin Zhen shouted: "Cut the rope!" Julia! I'll help you block it here! ”

"But you haven't come down yet!" Julia slashed at the zombies that had fallen to the side of the boat, screaming hoarsely, "You won't be able to get down if the rope is broken!" ”

"I can jump without a rope! Cut the rope! Come on! It's too late! ”

It's almost too late, a few zombies with their hands on the edge of the lifeboat, are shaking their heads to climb in, Julia was taken aback, and quickly struggled to raise the knife, the lifeboat is too small, her movement is slightly larger, the whole hull is shaking and shaking, about to capsize!

"Julia, cut the rope!" Yin Zhen is almost roaring!

At this point, there was no other choice, seeing the zombies falling like locusts, Julia no longer hesitated, she gritted her teeth, fought hard, and cut the rope!

As soon as the rope was broken, the dinghy immediately separated from the main boat and was washed five or six meters away by the turbulent river!

In the thick twilight, Julia raised her head, and she saw the figure in the orange jacket, standing alone in the stern of the boat at the moment, holding a carbine in his hand, and a few feet away, those black zombies were stumbling towards him, seemingly trying to get over the corpses and obstacles in front of him to grab Yin Zhen.

The orange figure ran to the side of the boat, took off the padded jacket outside, hesitated for a moment, and finally jumped from a high place, only to hear the heavy sound of splashing, Yin Zhen fell into the river!

Julia's heart is in her throat!

The waves were rolling, and there were almost no human figures in sight on the dull river, and the more Julia thought about it, the more panicked she became: Isn't it...... He can't swim?!

At this moment, the white waves in the water rolled over, and a person appeared on the surface!

"Ahh This way! Julia lay on the edge of the dinghy and yelled at him.

The people in the river quickly swam towards this side, in the dark, Julia could see his figure rise and fall, the water was a little fierce, rushing the boat to sway, Yin Zhen swam to the side of the boat, and tried to grab the lifeboat several times without success.

Julia went crazy, she simply grabbed the rope on the lifeboat, soaked half of her body in the river, stretched out her arms vigorously, and it was enough for two to catch Yin Zhen's hand!

It took a lot of effort for her to drag the soaking man up from the river.

"Thankfully!" Julia said as she quickly took off his wet clothes and wrapped her clean coat around Yin Zhen's body.

Yin Zhen's face was pale, trembling all over, his body was cold, after all, he had been swimming in the Yangtze River in winter for so long.

Julia hurriedly opened a blanket packed in a compressed bag and wrapped Yin Zhen all over. In order to prevent the cold wind from blowing to Yin Zhen's head, she took out all the cashmere sweaters she was carrying and wrapped Yin Zhen's head tightly, leaving only her face to breathe.

"You're amazing! It's true! She wiped Yin Zhen's face and said softly, "The way you swam just now reminded me of dolphins, you swam awesomely!" ”

Yin Zhen's eyes rolled slightly, he probably wanted to ask what a dolphin was, but at this moment, he was speechless.

In the cold wind, Julia wiped the wet water on her body and looked back at the cruise ship. There is moonlight tonight, but it is not a full moon, and the color is faint. In the night, the cruise ship seemed farther and farther away, but from time to time you could hear the sound of zombies falling into the river, and they chased them to the side of the ship, not knowing how to move forward, so they could only jump down.

But they can't get over, and the zombies who don't have the coordination of their hands and feet can only be carried to the bottom of the river by the river. (Today's second watch)
