Chapter 071: Walking along the river
"What are you thinking? Are you grieving for someone who died? Lin Qian saw what he thought.
Zhou Xuan didn't answer, looking at the rushing river in a daze.
"Don't feel guilty, you've done your best, and those people won't blame you." Lin Qian comforted.
Zhou Xuan smiled miserably: "That's what I said, but with so many people dying at once, who can really be worthy of his heart?" ”
Lin Qian gently stroked Zhou Xuan's back: "The matter has come to this, it is useless to think about it more, with this time, it is better to think more about it for everyone, what to do in the future." ”
Zhou Xuan nodded: "Well, don't talk about this, you go and arrange for everyone to make a fire and cook, and carry all the remaining food and medicine on the ship, and we will set off in the afternoon." ”
"Where to go?" Lin Qian raised her head suddenly.
"Go down the river, go to Dongting Lake first, then enter the Yangtze River, and go to Shenhai."
…………
On the sparkling Xiangjiang River, a fleet of more than 20 ships, most of which are small cargo ships, are also mixed with some fishing boats.
Because it is downstream, even if the motor is not started, the speed of the boat is not too slow.
Today is a rare good weather after the apocalypse, the sky is clear, the sky is cloudless, Zhou Xuan Yang Li and Lin Qian are sitting on a cargo ship at the front, watching the city buildings on the shore keep retreating, and the mood seems quite relaxed.
"Lao Zhen, when do you think we can get to Dongting?" Zhou Xuan turned his head and asked Zhen Laosan, who was at the helm in the cabin.
"If you don't turn on the machine all the time, it will take you half a day!" Zhen Laosan often runs boats and is very familiar with this route.
"It's okay, let's not be in a hurry, the movement of the machine is too big, it's easy to attract monsters, let's float like this, and we can save some oil." Yang Li lay on his back on the deck, blocking the sunlight with one hand, and shouted into the cabin.
"You want to rest a little more!" Lin Qian looked at his lazy appearance and said with disdain.
Yang Li propped up his hands, sat up, and said seriously: "Don't say it, I really want to keep drifting like this, you don't know, how I survived this month, I can't eat well, I can't sleep well, I am worried every day, my spirit is tense, and even when I dream, I dream that a monster has broken in." ”
Zhou Xuan's heart was slightly moved, he understood Yang Li's thoughts at the moment, not to mention Yang Li, even if he was himself, he enjoyed the rare peace of mind at this moment, and hoped that it would last forever.
But in the apocalypse, this is completely a luxury, the monster will not be destroyed for a day, the order will not be restored for a day, danger will exist at any time, no matter where you hide, trouble may find you at any time.
"Then you hurry up and rest, we are all waterways all the way, which is relatively safe." Zhou Xuan said with concern.
"There's no need to rest, no matter what, I'm also a high-level ability, my body is fine, but the main thing is that I'm tired." Yang Li hugged his knees, turned around, faced the sun, and stretched comfortably.
Zhou Xuan reminded him: "There's no way to be tired, it's not time for us to relax, the world has changed, danger will exist at any time, we should always be vigilant, in order to better survive in this world." ”
Yang Li nodded and said, "You're right, the world is different, we should get used to such days." ”
Lin Qian was obviously not interested in this kind of heavy topic, she was silent for a while, and suddenly asked; "Zhou Xuan, I'm curious, how did you come up with the idea of taking everyone to Japan?"
Zhou Xuan smiled and replied: "Because I watched a movie when I was a child, I know that the snow on Mt. Fuji does not melt all year round, and you are all high-level abilities, and when you evolve, you can't cool it with water, you have to have a colder environment." ”
"There are also snow-capped mountains in China, like the Himalayas, and there are places in the Northeast where there are ice and snow."
"The two places you mentioned are too far away, there are so many of us, it is not safe to travel by land, and there is no suitable means of transportation, so we can reach the Himalayas and the Northeast in the Year of the Monkey."
"But these boats are small cargo ships and fishing boats, can we go as far as Japan?
"Officer Lin, don't be so much, although Brother Zhou is young, he thinks about things more than us, he has already planned it, and when he arrives in Shenhai, find a large cruise ship, it's not a trivial matter for us to have more than a thousand people?" Yang Li interjected.
"Large cruise ships? Who's going to open it...... Can these crew members who fish and transport goods in the river drive such a big ship? Lin Qian refused to admit defeat and continued to ask.
"You can rest assured, of course you won't let us drive, I have a comrade-in-arms who is the captain of the East China Sea Fleet, and his ship is in Shenhai, so you can ask him for help when the time comes."
Hearing this, Lin Qian finally put her mind at ease, and with the captain of the navy to help, there was naturally no problem.
However, her mind was lively, and she quickly thought of another question: "The fish and shrimp in this river have mutated, will the animals in the sea mutate?" If sharks, whales and other animals also mutate, will we be in any danger? ”
Yang Li didn't say anything this time, because he also thought of this serious problem.
Sharks and whales are originally huge and fierce animals, and no one can predict how terrible they will be after mutation.
Zhou Xuan's expression became serious, he had lived on the island for a long time in his previous life, and he was deeply touched by the destructive ability of these two types of mutated creatures, especially whales, whose mutated size was almost catching up with Godzilla in the movie, and it was difficult for ordinary warships to withstand their destruction.
Fortunately, the number of mutant whales is relatively small, and they rely on sound waves to locate them, as long as they encounter them, they will not be attacked as long as they immediately turn off their engines.
As for the sharks, although they are ferocious after mutation, they are limited in size, and as long as they are not too numerous, they should not cause damage to large ships.
Of course, there are thousands of creatures in the sea, and Zhou Xuan has never been to the deep sea in his previous life, and the mutated creatures he has seen are limited, and there will always be dangers, but compared to the hordes of bloody corpses on land, it is always much safer to take the waterway.
"To be honest, I don't know if there is any danger, maybe we can find an inaccessible place to live, with the current strength of our people, there will be no danger in the short term, but monsters are constantly evolving, or it won't be long before they become more powerful, when the time comes, can we still live in a corner of peace and peace of mind?" Zhou Xuan said slowly.
Lin Qian opened her mouth, she didn't know how to answer, this is the case, if you want to survive, you must constantly improve your strength and find an environment suitable for evolution, if you just covet temporary happiness, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future.
"I'm in favor of going to Japan, now that monsters are rampant, there will be danger wherever we go, so we can't just find a place to die because of danger! Besides, I can't find a place that is absolutely safe. Yang Li expressed his opinion.
"Do you think other people think the same way we do? Are they willing to go on an adventure with us? Lin Qian said without showing weakness.
Zhou Xuan nodded in agreement: "You're right, I'll ask for everyone's opinions, if they don't want to go with me, I'll find a relatively safe place for them to stay, but even if I'm the only one left, I'll still go to Japan as originally planned, because the only way to survive in this world is to keep making myself stronger." ”
"Don't worry! You won't be alone, I'll be with you wherever you go. Lin Qian's tone suddenly softened.
"Yes, let's wander the world, the four seas are home, anyway, I don't have anything to worry about, life is the same wherever I go." Yang Li lay down again and said to the sun.
"Why are you all talking like this, we're just going to evolve, and we'll come back when we get stronger." The two of them looked sluggish, and Yi Shuihan's appearance made Zhou Xuan can't help but complain.
"It's okay if you don't come back, home is where there are relatives, my parents are dead, and they are all alive there. Maybe if you go over there, you can find a Japanese woman with three obedience and four virtues as a wife. Yang Li laughed at himself.
Lin Qian glanced at him and sneered: "When is it, you still want to find a wife, you want to go crazy with a woman!" ”
Yang Li said depressedly: "Officer Lin, why do you keep raising the bar with me, is it interesting?" ”
Lin Qian glared: "Who made you worship foreign flattery, you don't look for so many survivors here, you have to go to Japan to find a wife." ”
Yang Li was also angry: "What do you mean by admiring foreign flattery, I'll just say that, if you don't worship foreign flattery, then I'll look for you to do it?" ”
Lin Qian: "You ......"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Zhou Xuan hurriedly persuaded him: "You two are really boring, you can quarrel for such a little thing, what's wrong with finding a Japanese wife, as long as people are willing, find three or four, dozens or hundreds, it is not impossible, it is considered to be patriotic in disguise." ”
Yang Li stretched out his thumb and said excitedly: "Yes, it makes sense, it's still your cow!" ”
Lin Qian's face turned blue with anger when she heard this: "Then you go and find it!" I'm blind and I've mistaken you. ”
