Chapter 36: New York in the Sea
All the food was collected, and Jane brought in a large amount of medicine, which was reasonably distributed to everyone's shoulders, and Banksy was given the largest bag of rice.
"Why do you want me to carry this bag, it weighs almost a hundred pounds." Banks protested, and Chen Hang said lightly: "It's okay, I'll carry the rice, but you have to kill the zombies in front." Banks' mouth immediately closed.
Everyone jumped cautiously onto the ship, and ten men ran quickly towards the bow, and they quickly found the anchor.
The anchor of the container ship has long been broken by the wind and waves, and the long iron chain has been dragged to the ground, forming a good climbing column.
Ten people stood on the bow of the ship to get a better view, and they saw a completely different city of New York - the hurricane was gone, and New York was devastated.
The storm destroyed most of the neon advertising, and the glass facades of many buildings were blown open.
At this time, the top of Fifth Avenue suddenly emptied, and the cars piled up here were swept away by the waves, and the bottom floors of all the skyscrapers were smashed open by the waves, and the porches and windows were swept away.
The sea rippled through the streets, and swollen corpses floated in the water. Without the protection of the dam, the sea finally invaded the interior, and the entire Fifth Avenue was submerged by the invading water.
All ten of them went down the chain into the street, and everyone was shocked by what they saw.
Shops near the street were largely destroyed by the floods, and a large amount of rubble garbage was stuffed into the shops. Just twenty meters or so ahead, a large truck was lying on its back facing the sky, it had been washed into the store by the floodwater, and the huge front of the truck had burst into the shop window, leaving only the back half of the box in the sky.
As the group slowly moved down the street, they drove knee-deep water under their feet, and the sound of "whooshing" came from the street, which added to the desolation of New York.
After more than 200 meters, there was an intersection here, and the traffic lights that had been hanging on the street hung down, they were half-hidden in the water, and the iron frame that supported them was broken into two sections. Alarmed by the sound of the water, a sea fish swam out of the traffic light and scurried into the side street.
Following the direction in which the fish had fled, the group found the cars that had been washed away.
Just in the auxiliary streets on both sides, countless cars were piled up into the sky dozens of meters high, they were crowded together, stuck in the middle of the buildings on both sides, and these large and small cars were piled up into two hills.
The cars piled on top of each other were basically deformed, and some stumps and severed arms could be faintly visible inside. Last night's flood into New York City brought a catastrophe to the people who had taken refuge in low-rise buildings, who had escaped the zombies and still died in the madness of nature.
Jane could see it, but she didn't notice that something had drifted to her side with the waves. There was a soft "bang", and the object hit her calf, and Jane looked down.
Her eyes widened suddenly.
"Ah...... Oh......" As soon as the scream poured out of her throat, Jane's mouth was covered by Chen Hang, so the voice turned into a muffled snort, but Jane's eyes were about to bulge.
It was a swollen corpse.
He must have been an unfortunate man, who should have drowned alive in the flood. His belly bulged high, his eyes bulged out completely, and judging by his already white, frightened eyes, he had endured great fear before he died.
Not only that, but the man was tortured after his death. The flood pushed his body through the wreckage, and the pieces of iron and broken bricks left marks on his body.
The most terrifying wound came from his forehead, a piece of iron completely tore open half of his scalp, so from the position of his left eye upwards, where the eye socket and white bones were completely exposed, and the injury made the dead man look very hideous and terrifying.
None of the ten people dared to move, and the corpses floated quietly backwards along the current. He slowly drifted behind the ten men before disappearing into the far corner.
Chen Hang sighed softly and said, "This is the end of the world, let's move on." ”
So the team continued to move forward, and the sound of "rattling" water continued to be heard under their feet, but everyone's mood became more and more heavy.
ANNE, THE SAVED MOTHER, HER BABY, THE LITTLE ONE NAMED WISH, WAS FINALLY WOKEN UP BY THE SOUND OF THE SEA. For the first time, the little one opened her eyes and saw the outside world for the first time in her life.
The tall buildings, the broken neon, the streets filled with seawater, the nine adults who were hanging their heads, and the little one suddenly smiled.
The laughter of "cluck, cluck, cluck" echoed in the streets, and the little one's smile was very sweet, she didn't know the hardships of survival, and the little one was only stimulated by the light to laugh.
Anne was very nervous, but as a new mother, she was touched by the child's first smile, and she immediately put her mouth to it, and she tried to suppress the child's laughter with a kiss.
Veryl, Huck, and Banks were also taken aback, Verelle pulled out her dagger with a "swoop", Huck pulled out her pistol, and Banks raised her axe, he glared at Anne fiercely, and Banks lowered her voice and shouted, "Shut her up." ”
Anne's expression immediately became panicked, she stared nervously at Banksy, she was afraid that Banksy would cut off the axe next, Anne's trembling right hand covered Hope's little mouth, tears already flowing from the corners of her eyes.
"Let her laugh, this is the child's first laugh, and we can't let her live in fear from birth."
Chen Hang stretched out his hand to block Anne's movements, and Anne sent a grateful look, but Banksy was furious: "She will kill us, and laughter will attract zombies." ”
Chen Hang looked at the buildings around him, the empty windows on the lower floors were still quiet, and the sea breeze passed through the buildings, leaving a "woo, woo" sound in the air.
"It's okay, the zombies are still hiding on the upper floors of the building, and they are instinctively afraid of natural storms.
What's more, now that the hurricane has just left, the wind here is still relatively strong, and those sounds can drown out the baby's voice, and we are safe for the time being. ”
"Can you guarantee it? What to do if the zombies come out? ”
"I'll keep everyone safe."
"But......" Banks insisted, his arm holding the axe bulging high, the veins bulging from it.
Chen Hang didn't even look at him, he was still observing the surroundings, Chen Hang just said coldly: "If you don't accept it, get out!" ”
Banksys' mouth slammed shut.
