The hard work paid off, and after walking about three kilometers along the west bank of the river, he finally found a logistics terminal with seven or eight small cargo ships parked on the shore, and more than a dozen survivors were found on one of the cargo ships.

Upon questioning, it turned out that these survivors were all crew members, and they had been hiding on the ship since the outbreak of the virus.

After hiding for more than a month, they had already eaten up their food, and they were worried, and as soon as they heard about Zhou Xuan's plan, they immediately agreed to go with them.

Zhou Xuan couldn't ask for it, so he was naturally overjoyed, and immediately took these people and drove the boat to the dock above.

He instructed everyone to wait at the dock and return to the construction site alone to report the good news.

Yang Li was directing everyone to transfer the materials in the construction site, and when he saw Zhou Xuan coming back, he hurriedly greeted him.

"I heard you went looking for a ship, did you find it?"

"I found it, but there are not many, there are only more than ten in total, and they are all small boats, which can carry hundreds of people at a time, so we can only transfer them in batches."

"There may not be enough people to drive the boat, I asked, and there are only seven or eight people in the base who have experience in this area."

"It's okay! I also found a dozen crew members, in case it is not enough, let them first simply train a group of people to come out, the requirements for sailing in the river are not high, just a little understanding. ”

Yang Li breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but his face quickly became solemn again: "The ship's problem has been solved, and now there is a more serious problem." ”

"What's the problem?"

"The problem of eating, there are more than 1,000 junior ability people in the base, including myself, who haven't eaten for two days, and they can't even walk."

Zhou Xuan smiled dumbly: "It's not easy, let everyone move to the river immediately, pick up more corpses on the way, and get on the boat when you can eat enough at the dock." ”

"Okay! I'll leave the transfer of supplies to you, and I'll have to eat quickly. After Yang Li finished speaking, he slipped away, without the bearing of a soldier at all.

Zhou Xuan is a little funny, the power outage in the past two days has indeed starved everyone, even Yang Li is hungry to this virtue, others can imagine.

When transferring materials, you can't use a car, so as not to alarm the monsters along the way, the food, meat and medicine in the base can only be carried by people, plus most of the capable people have been hungry for a few days, and they have no strength at all, these materials can only be carried by the remaining hundreds of ordinary people, and the speed is naturally not fast.

Although the road was cleaned up, no one could guarantee a monster from the building next to it or the alley, so Zhou Xuan assigned Lin Qian and the group of high-level abilities just now to protect the team along the way, and he rushed to the dock himself to discuss the future plan with Yang Li.

The more than 1,000 intermediate-level people in the construction site, hearing that they could eat, had already left a single one, and when they arrived at the dock, everyone had already lit countless bonfires in the open area, roasting, eating, and being busy.

After several days of hunger, many people gave up their image, sat or lay down, and ate like a starving ghost reincarnated, eating with their mouths full of oil.

Everyone seems to have become accustomed to eating corpses, and their expressions are no different from eating ordinary meat.

Zhou Xuan was both relieved and worried, relieved that as long as the monster existed for a day, these people would not be starved to death, and the worry was that they would refresh their moral bottom line because of this, so as to lose some conscience in other aspects of life?

Soon, in the deep cold river, there began to be evolutionaries soaking and dissipating heat, and the number of them continued to increase.

Zhou Xuan walked around the dock, but did not find Yang Li, but met more than a dozen crew members who had come back with him just now.

These people didn't know the truth, and they were all scared enough to see so many people on the shore gnawing on the corpses.

"Don't be afraid! They are capable ones, and they eat corpses for the sake of evolution, and they will not harm you. Zhou Xuan explained briefly, and comforted them by the way.

With Zhou Xuan coming forward to explain, these people's expressions were a little more normal, but they still couldn't accept the disgusting and terrifying behavior of eating corpses for a while.

Zhou Xuan didn't plan to talk to them in detail, but instead discussed with them about training new crew members.

The leader of this group of people is a thin old man in his fifties, surnamed Zhen, the third in line, it is said that he has been running on this river for decades, as far as Shenhai, from the Xiangjiang River to Dongting, and then to the water conditions of the waters of the Yangtze River, he is very familiar with it.

Hearing Zhou Xuan say that he wanted him to hand over someone to run the ship, and he also had to go to Shenhai to find a cruise ship to sail to Japan, Zhen Laosan seemed very excited, he had been running a boat all his life, and he had never been to sea, let alone an overseas country like Japan, so he immediately offered to volunteer as a guide to take everyone to Shenhai, and also help him train the crew and go to other places to raise ships.

With such an experienced old man willing to help, Zhou Xuan was of course very happy, and immediately found a few high-level people with advanced abilities to protect them and go with them to find the ship.

Before Zhen Laosan left, he suddenly reminded him: "Little brother, the fish in this water can bite, you better let them come up quickly!" ”

Zhou Xuan was shocked, he actually forgot about this stubble, not only the monsters on land will be infected, but also the monsters in the water.

Even weak creatures such as fish, shrimp and crabs can become ferocious carnivores after eating the blood or animal carcasses that have fallen into the water.

Due to their innate ability, the strength of these mutated creatures is also limited, but they are social creatures, and when they go out together, they are often more terrifying than some powerful giant monsters.

Zhou Xuan lived on an island in his previous life, and he came and went by boat, although he had heard people talk about the power of this kind of mutated creature, but what he really needed to watch out for were monsters with huge power that could destroy ships, such as mutated sharks, mutated whales, and the like.

And there are no such monsters in inland waters, and he has not dealt with mutant fish and mutant shrimp, so he naturally relaxed his vigilance in this regard.

At this time, he was reminded by Zhen Lao Sanyi, and he immediately became alert, and was about to remind everyone to pay attention, when he heard a commotion on the river.

"What bites me?"

"Holy! It's a piranha, and one of Lao Tzu's legs is missing! ”

"Paralyzing, and shrimp and crabs, there are too many! Get ashore quickly. ”

"Oh my god! It's too late, and the lower half of Lao Tzu's body is eaten up by them. ”

……

For a while, there were screams in the water, and everyone only felt that there were a large number of cold and slippery things shuttling around the body.

These once delicious foods, at this moment, turned into demons, and launched a crazy revenge on the crowd in the water.

Looking at his body, torn to pieces by these fish and shrimp full of jagged teeth and razor-like pincers, although he didn't feel pain, he still couldn't stand the visual impact, and screamed in horror.

The river was suddenly chaotic, some people desperately swam to the shore, some people shouted for help, and some people fought with the monsters around them, but there were too many of these mutant fish and shrimp, and they were in groups, killing them inexhaustibly.

"Quick! Get out of the boat and save them. Zhou Xuan shouted at Zhen Laosan and the others who were stunned.

Zhen Laosan was the first to react, jumped on a fishing boat, untied the rope, didn't even dare to open the motor, slid to the center of the river, and rescued the survivors in the water.

The rest of the crew immediately followed his example, untied the boat on the shore and went to rescue the people.

Some people threw lifebuoys into the water, some people used pennies to pull people in the water ashore, and even the people on the shore did not dare to be idle, so they found ropes and threw them into the water, pulling up one survivor after another.

But there were too many people in the water, at least hundreds, many of them were eaten clean by underwater monsters before they could be rescued, and some finally swam back only half of their bodies left, lying on the shore dying.

Zhou Xuan's heart is dripping blood, these are all intermediate abilities that have evolved twice, and they died one by one, not when the base fell, but they fed the fish here.

This is due to his negligence! If he had warned everyone earlier, such a tragedy would not have happened.

"That's right! Yang Li is also ...... in the water"

As soon as he thought of this, Zhou Xuan couldn't stay any longer, and a fierce man plunged into the river......
