Chapter 743: The Long Road to Survival
Eve's eyes widened and she looked stiffly at the collapsed wooden house.
Father's body is still inside!
Rolling thunder exploded in the sky, as if it was about to cut a hole in the night sky, and from it roared out of it monsters with fangs and claws.
Ah Qing didn't say anything, and was about to rush into the ruins again.
Eve grabbed him: "No, no......"
Her body gradually softened, Ah Jing quickly supported her, pursed her lips and said:
"Captain Mike should be fine, I'll have time to go now."
After all, the wooden house is not reinforced concrete, and people are buried in it, so they should only suffer some skin injuries.
"It's too late...... Eve's eyes glazed out.
Connie and Edie stood in the middle of the rainy night, looking at their ruined home, and didn't dare to cry.
Ah Jing didn't listen, and he had a posture that he must rescue Captain Mike.
"Ah Jing!" Eve cried out, "My dad is gone!" He was gone before you came! Gone! Did you hear me? β
Ah Jing froze in place.
He used to be the helmsman of Captain Mack, and he also served as Arthur's deputy while he was still there.
Ah Jing's greatest wish in this life is to have a sea ship of his own and to marry Eve.
But now, everything is shattered.
The sailors of the empire came, their homes were gone, and the clansmen of Bishuiwan died and fled.
Even his most beloved girl now has no father and mother.
Ah Jing gritted his teeth and helped Eve up: "I'll take you away, come with me, I'll protect you, protect you for a lifetime." β
Eve was stunned for a moment, and before she could say anything.
Connie and Edie cried and threw themselves into Jing's arms.
Although children are not sensible, they are the best at distinguishing who is really good to them.
Ah Jing took the three sisters and brothers back to his home.
When Ah Jing's mother saw the three of them, she was stunned, sighed, shook her head, and took a dry blanket for the three to wipe.
Jing's mother was a typical Miller woman named Nell.
She put the seawater in an iron basin, set it on the stove, then covered it with a discarded plastic bag, and prepared a container to evaporate the fresh water.
This is now the most common method of obtaining fresh water for most Miller people.
"I'm sorry for your trouble." Eve said with her head bowed as she hugged the blanket.
Connie and Edie also apologized, and their pitiful appearance made people feel pity.
Nell sighed and shook his head: "It's not easy for you either. β
At this time, Ah Jing, who had set up shelter facilities outside, came back from outside covered in rain, and said with some excitement:
"I just heard that the patriarch is going to take everyone out of Bishui Bay and go inland, saying that there are aid supplies in the inland and an army!"
This news was like a celebratory salute for everyone, blasting a hole in the originally oppressive sky, allowing the dawn to shine in everyone's hearts, so that they finally saw a glimmer of hope.
"Army?! Is it the state? Thank goodnessβ" Nell said with her hands folded in prayer.
Ah Qing shook his head: "It's not the country's army, it's the star lord's private mercenary." β
This answer stunned both Eve and Nell.
Eve covered her face and choked, it turned out that the star lord had never given up on them.
Nell also had tears in his eyes: "Lord Star Lord is merciful. β
Ah Jing asked her mother to pack some things casually, and they would go on the road as soon as it was dawn.
Ah Jing has no father, and his father was attacked by a kraken when he went to sea in his early years and died in the sea.
All along, Captain Mike, who took good care of him, played the role of a father.
Ah Jing looked at the weak third sister and brother, clenched his fists, and vowed to give a good life to the people he cared about.
The next day, the sky was slightly bright, the storm had stopped, and the air was mixed with the smell of dirt, and the muddy ground made it difficult to walk.
The Haiqin Continent covers an area of more than 5 million square kilometers, and it will take several months to travel from the coast to the inland.
Moreover, most of the people in Bishuiwan are old, weak, sick and disabled, and the few strong laborers are starving to the bone.
But even so, it still can't stop their strong will to find a way to live.
So in this way, this team of more than 200 people embarked on a long road to survival.
......
Three days later, Cookie and Ye Lanshi finally arrived at Daocheng, a coastal city on the M-700 Haiqin Continent
Originally, I was going to land in Bishui Bay, and I took a look at Captain Mike's family by the way.
However, because the terrain of Bishui Bay is not flat enough and there is no place to land, Daocheng, which is only 200 kilometers away from Bishui Bay, was chosen.
It is also the closest place to the island where the Imperial Naval Corps is stationed.
Today, the entire Daocheng is empty, there is not a single living person, and only collapsed grass huts and corpses on the side of the road can be seen along the street.
Cookie stood in front of a grass hut whose roof had been torn off by the strong wind, and leaned over to pull a straw that was used to build the hut.
"Is there something wrong?" Ye Lanshi looked at her suspiciously.
Cookie plugged the grass back in, and said with deep eyes:
"This grass is a stalk called melon ginger fruit, which is very similar to straw, and the local people generally use it to build houses, which is very practical. That's why the city is called Daocheng. β
Ye Lanshi was not a cultivator after all, and he didn't know much about plants, so he asked, "So what?" β
Cookie folded his cloak: "These stems and leaves have been peeled, which means that the people here have run out of food to the point where they need to demolish their houses." β
Ye Lanshi frowned, the matter was more serious than her image.
Cookie crouched down again, picked some dirt on the ground, and put it in the palm of his hand to observe.
After a while, she clapped her hands and sighed, "I now deeply understand why the Federation doesn't want this planet. β
"Why?"
"The land here is very salinized, what is planted and what is dead, if you are the leader of the country, will you want it? If you want to go back, you have to spend a lot of money to improve the environment. β
It's no wonder that when I first came here, Captain Mike's house was nothing green except for seafood.
It turns out that the problem lies in the soil quality here.
After that, Cookie and Ye Lanshi walked around the city and found nothing of value, it seems that the Imperial Sailors have swept this place.
Ye Lanshi shrugged noncommittally.
Cookie: "Are you complaining in your heart that I'm a big fool?" β
"You made it up in your own mind, I didn't think so."
Cookie said: "This planet may be a hot potato in other people's hands, but in my hands, it will become a treasure." β
Without waiting for Ye Lanshi to say anything, she walked to the beach:
"Okay, let's go to Bishui Bay, I'll pick up a few people, and then let's go to Afterglow City to meet Gao Qing."
She asked Gao Qing to set up a rescue and supply center in the inland afterglow city, and the news spread.
The displaced refugees who heard the news should have gone inland.
