From time to time, birds can fly from the depths of the forests or the grasses of the river flats, and the slightly earthy smell of nature mingles with the damp breeze. The dense forests show dappled autumn colors everywhere, and the soil of the river beach is soft and elastic at your feet, which is an exceptionally fertile land.

For about ten minutes after breaking up with Liaodong Dahan, Su Zining and Yan Xiaosong almost remained silent except for occasionally reminding each other to pay attention to their feet.

"Su Zining, you should have guessed something, right?" Temporarily resting among the rocks, Yan Xiaosong opened the kettle and pointed to the south.

"Hehe, how do you know?" Su Zining threw the stone in his hand towards the river and did not answer positively.

"The river channel is getting wider and wider, the area of tidal wetlands is also increasing, and there are even non-inland birds, which is typical of the estuarine terrain." Yan Xiaosong handed over the kettle and smiled mysteriously, "What, are you still thinking about that cross?" A Westerner who has been dead for hundreds of years, and the wooden cross still exists. ”

"It's you wondering if it's okay." Su Zining smiled ugly, "Since yesterday, you seem to have been constantly hinting at me, in fact, I should ask you questions." For example, we all voluntarily came out to search, in fact, we just wanted to verify it. ”

"I reckon that the people in the temporary self-help leadership team should have known the results yesterday. Although there are no satellite signals and the GPS cannot be used, several captains are on the list of leaders of the self-rescue team, and the various instruments and equipment on board will not be useless. Yan Xiaosong's face gradually became stern, "These hundreds of people were inexplicably sent to this place with a small half of the port wharf, and everyone's minds will not be normal thinking." At least until now, no madman has been found, which means that everyone has their own speculation. ”

"It's only been a day, maybe in a few days, I'll be the first to go crazy?" Su Zining sorted out his backpack, took out the flare gun from it, and then stood up, "Go on, let's try to get to the mouth of the river." ”

More than half an hour passed, and after bypassing a large wetland and water, the two finally stood at the end of the forest river beach with a clear heart.

In front of you, there is a line between water and sky, the mouth of the river is several kilometers wide, and about a kilometer away, there is a small island.

There is apparently more than one river at the mouth of the estuary, and along the southern tip of the land beneath our feet, there is also a relatively small river from the northeast. On the other side of the river, there is a larger area of primeval forest, but it is not known if that land is also an island.

"Okay, we're all satisfied." Yan Xiaosong made a mark on the drawing board, and then exhaled a long breath, "The higher dimensional region of the northern hemisphere, the south to the sea." There are no people, if not the cross. ”

"If possible, I'd like to go around this southern end and continue to have a look." Su Zining also smiled tacitly, but raised his hand and raised his watch, indicating that the time was almost up, "Go back, just our team, don't want to finish it in a day." ”

As he was talking, suddenly a crisp gunshot rang out in the northern forest behind him. The two of them were stunned, and they all showed surprised expressions.

……

……

Although it has been more than an hour since the separation, the actual distance is not too far due to the slow walking along the way.

After rushing along the original road along the coast in the direction of the gunshots, he saw the little soldier of the armed police and the big man of Liaodong standing on the bank of the river.

The riot police were very nervous holding the Type 81 rifle, obviously the gunshot just now was made by him, while Dong Jiunan on the other side was a little depressed with a fire axe.

"I just met a wild beast in the woods, and it seems to be a wild boar." The Liaodong Dahan shrugged his shoulders and looked at the riot police who fired the gun with an expression of hatred.

"It's a miracle that you were able to get out of it." Su Zining took off his backpack with a smile and looked into the depths of the forest, "You must know that wild boars are usually not alone, and a family follows in a litter." ”

"It's not a wild boar, it's a wild wolf! I've been following me for a long time. The nervous riot policeman suddenly shouted, "When I was a child, there was a similar one in the forest in my hometown, I know it!" ”

The accent of the riot policeman Cheng Peng is also from the Northeast, and it seems that he is scared a lot this time.

Wild wolves? That's even worse! These guys hunt in groups! Su Zining and Yan Xiaosong's faces changed at the same time.

"Go back to the boat!"

Several people shouted at almost the same time, and then Su Zining raised his hand and shot out the flare in the flare gun. The four of them ran as fast as they could, along the riverbank towards the north.

Zhou Kemin, who saw the signal flare, and the boat doctor quickly drove the motorboat halfway to meet the four people, and not long after the motorboat left the riverbank, under Su Zining's turn, several low animal figures faintly appeared in the grass at the edge of the forest.

Seeing that these intelligent and cruel animals actually follow them all the time. Su Zining and the others shuddered.

……

……

At about 13 o'clock in the afternoon, the search and rescue team, which had found nothing, finally returned to the starting point, only to see countless temporary shacks made of broken fiberglass tiles appear on the edge of the forest.

After the disaster, people began to curse and curse again after recovering their bodies all night. Strong men will even physically pull at others to prove that a certain suitcase is their pre-disaster luggage.

Many women shrank trembling in the overturned dock containers, timidly and anxiously touching the phone and dialing non-stop, but received no response.

Dozens of uniforms have been visibly organized to maintain security throughout the riverbank and among the ruins of the docks, calming the occasional minor frictions.

After Su Zining simply ate something, he reported the discoveries he and Yan Xiaosong found along the way to Zheng Quan, the supreme commander of the temporary self-rescue leading group and the anti-smuggling captain of the customs. However, the latter did not seem to be much surprised, but only expressed great importance to the appearance of wild wolves more than ten kilometers away in the south.

"Wait, Xiao Su. Lao Qi told me about your situation before. Although you are young, you have a lot of experience at the grassroots level, and you are also calm and knowledgeable, so we decided to let you join the temporary self-help leading group. The customs anti-smuggling officer, who was over forty years old, showed a frank smile at Su Zining.

Thinking of Qi Jianjun's trusting expression before leaving, Su Zining roughly understood the meaning.

"Captain Zheng, I want to know our coordinates now, I don't think you need to hide it from me anymore, right? I believe that the captains in the self-rescue leading group who have been running the sea for many years know how to measure the latitude and longitude of astronomy. ”

Su Zining did not directly agree to Zheng Quan's invitation, but finally threw out the question that he had been thinking about all night and half a day.

"Although I have walked very little, it is clear that this is not China." After Su Zining finished speaking, he took out another piece of paper from his pocket, which was the unfamiliar letter words on the cross transcribed by Yan Xiaosong.

"I think we should find someone among the survivors who can read these words. I'm an English major, but I can't read this. Su Zining solemnly spread the paper on a large box that was temporarily used as a table.

"Get on the boat and say." Looking at the young man's undeniable gaze, Zheng Quan just nodded slowly.

……

……

Yuan Xinyi is a translator for a private, high-paying energy company in southern China. On the day of the disaster, we were accompanying our engineers and the chief engineer from SASOL Energy in South Africa to inspect a set of imported equipment at the port terminal.

First encountered a natural disaster that makes people terrible until now, then to this strange world that looks like a primeval forest, and then the black South African engineer who was lifted from the rubble has changed beyond recognition. Yuan Xinyi, who was only twenty-four years old, almost fell into a state of sluggishness.

The sound of horns seeking foreign language interpreters from the entire campsite finally woke Yuan Xinyi up at lunchtime, and under the guidance of a customs anti-smuggling team, she boarded the customs anti-smuggling ship that had successfully escaped from the stranded state.

There were also a number of men standing in the command cabin, but they all looked embarrassed, and it seemed that there was a problem that was bothering everyone.

"Hello, I am Zheng Quan, the leader of the temporary self-rescue leading group and the captain of the customs anti-smuggling ship. This is Su Zining, a member of the group, and we found something in the south in the morning, and we wanted comrades who knew foreign languages to see what it meant. ”

With that, Zheng Quan put a piece of paper on the table.

"Well, it's Dutch, but the grammar is still a little different than it is now." Yuan Xinyi, who is fluent in several European languages, could see the words on the paper at a glance, "It means: God has forgiven one of the sins of Mr. Boradhoo Fancini, and his integrity and piety have allowed him to remain with the Lord." May he rest in peace in this rich new world, and his widow and two children in Amsterdam remain in good health. ”

After reading it, Yuan Xinyi looked at the people around him inexplicably, only to see that everyone showed uncomfortable expressions.

"Well, it's a simple epitaph. Still a Dutch from Amsterdam. Are we in the Netherlands? A man on the side, who claimed to speak good English, muttered to help temporarily.

"Thank you, I'll look for you again if you have something!" Zheng Quan hurriedly made a look, and the customs anti-smuggling team politely sent these people away.

……

……

Through?!

After leaving the customs ship, Su Zining's mind was as calm as a train passing by. Zheng Quan finally gave him an answer that he had predicted for a long time, and it was more than he thought.

Although the modern satellite communication system has been scrapped, the captain of a bulk carrier came up with a result last night using simple tools. The survivors are now on another continent, the east coast of North America in latitude and longitude.

However, this news is currently only known within the self-help leading group, and it is strictly guaranteed that it will not be leaked for the time being. Thinking of the hundreds of people here who lived for the rest of their lives, the faces that were haggard or sluggish or anxious, Su Zining knew that this decision was correct at least for now.

Su Zining and Yan Xiaosong sat by the bonfire, both silent.

"The location is confirmed, this is the area where the Hudson River estuary, that is, where we are sitting now, is the downtown area of Manhattan, where every inch of land is at a premium?" Yan Xiaosong's always optimistic face rarely became like a bitter melon, "If they insist that the astronomical starlight measurement is correct, then I suspect that I have not only traveled geographically, but also time." ”

"Didn't you say this morning that I had been thinking about the time on that cross? A cemetery that looks like it's ten years old at most. Contrary to Yan Xiaosong's expression, Su Zining actually had an uncharacteristically smile.

"Well, you and I had that prediction in our hearts at the time. It's just that you haven't said it, of course, I haven't said it either, why? Yan Xiaosong haha, "Okay, let's assume that we were hit by a wormhole similar to a typhoon, and then the powerful energy enveloped half of the dock, and finally sent us to the east coast of North America in the early 17th century." ”

"Well, it is estimated that Zheng Quan and they will have to accept this result." Su Zining nodded.

"And then?" Yan Xiaosong was weak and drooped his head.

"About a few years later, a Dutch merchant would buy the entire island of Manhattan from the Indians for $24 worth of rags. This time, to be exact, is a certain day in 1624. Su Zining took out the cigarette case, divided the last two, and then lit it and took a deep breath, "Then, hundreds of years have passed, land prices have soared, and the return on investment is incomparable." ”

"Yes, there are Indians here!"

At this point in the story, the two jumped up almost at the same time, and the survivors chatting in front of a campfire not far away were startled.
