Chapter 22: I want to live
The Fenghua River is a busy water traffic artery.
In some sections of the sea with shallow water depths, pontoon-type navigation beacons are set up.
The navigation light is powered by both battery and solar energy, and it can be used for more than a year if the battery is replaced.
So, right now, the red light on the top of the buoy is flashing and flashing.
A small wooden boat bolted to a buoy was illuminated.
This is a seven-person boat that is commonly seen in the lake in the park, and in the past, it was impossible to see it in the Fenghua River.
The river is still very fast, and there are many large transport ships passing by, and the wake can easily overturn the small boats.
This small boat, appearing next to the navigation mark, you can imagine what kind of risk it has passed.
Inside the boat, wrapped in a sleeping bag and curled up at the bottom of the ship, it was Wang Lu's family of three.
The velvet double-layered sleeping bag can barely withstand the night breeze on the river.
A sleeping bag moved, and a head poked out. It is the king's road.
Wang Lu stayed for a long time before he remembered where the whole family was.
Dreamless for a moment, he gently unzipped his sleeping bag and sat up.
Wang Lu cautiously leaned down and looked at Chen Wei and Wang Bi'an, who were sleeping deeply.
Carried by the water of Moon Lake, the family of three smoothly rushed through the dark river of the Beidou River and entered the Fenghua River.
The family did not dare to stay longer, nor did they dare to go ashore, this section of the Fenghua River is still in the downtown area, and it can still be called a dangerous place.
At Chen Wei's suggestion, the family decided to go upstream.
Wang Lu and Chen Wei's boating experience is limited to park lakes, while Wang Bi'an is more straightforward and only has experience in "driving" electric boats.
The central waterway of the Fenghua River was not daring, so the family had to get as close to the shore as possible and row upstream.
Although Wang Lu and Chen Wei alternated rowing oars - there was only one oar left, and Chen Wei's oars had become a zombie delicacy after adding "pure natural artificial blood" - the boat did not move fast.
In order not to be washed into the river's central waterway and get out of control, Wang Lu and Chen Wei had a small amount of time and energy to correct the direction.
Once, while passing a section of the green bank along the river, Wang Lu tried to land from a small pier, but quickly escaped.
It is the wharf of Li Shenggui Middle School, which is close to the Fenghua River and is famous for its beautiful scenery, with more than 1,460 teachers and students.
Now it's more than 1,460 zombies.
Looking at the student zombies rushing down from the school building, Wang Lu fled.
Just kidding, how do junior high school students grow so tall now, tall people over 1.7 meters abound, not to mention that they have become zombies, even normal people, Wang Lu may not be able to fight.
After leaving the river section of the city, there were steep stone embankments along the coast, and they could not find the wharf and other facilities for a while, so they rowed farther and farther.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Wang Lu didn't dare to touch the dark boat, so he found a nearby navigation mark, tied the rope, ate the remaining chocolate, and fell asleep.
Wang Lu looked up at the sky, and the stars in the sky were exceptionally bright.
In fact, the stars in the sky have been as bright for hundreds of millions of years.
It's just that the artificial light source on the ground pollutes people's eyes, so they can't see the starlight.
Wang Lu glanced at the river, but except for the navigation lights, he couldn't see a single light.
It's like the human situation right now.
It's pitch black, and the future is bleak.
Wang Lu looked down again, Chen Wei snorted heavily, and by the faint starlight, she seemed to be able to see her brows stretched and sleeping peacefully.
From being rejected to land on the island in Moon Lake Park, to being surrounded by zombies and having nowhere to survive, until the dark river broke through and survived, Chen Wei's mood can be described as ups and downs.
That's why she said that about the man who once rejected their family on the island in the middle of the lake.
Although it is a schadenfreude, it is not that Chen Wei has become bad, but it is a bit of a sense of heaven and retribution.
If the man hadn't rejected Wang Lu's family, then Wang Lu would never have chosen a way to get out of the dark river, and the water of the Moon Lake would not have flowed away, and the man could still use the lake water to hinder the zombies and live a free life in the troubled times.
It's just a report and a report.
Wang Lu's heart suddenly moved.
If his family landed on the island first, and the man came later, would he let him land on the island?
Maybe—no, not maybe, but surely the man won't come up.
The island in the middle of the lake is so big, it's okay to raise a family of three, but there are too many people to raise, and you definitely can't afford it. ,
A man came to take it, but what about another woman?
What about another family of three?
And even more people?
If it were you, you would definitely dominate the island in the middle of the lake and not let others land on the island.
It's not about morality.
Just to survive.
Not for yourself.
It's for Chen Wei and Wang Bi'an behind them.
Wang Lu smiled bitterly and shook his head, in fact, he was the same as that man, he was a selfish person.
"Why didn't you sleep?" A voice sounded beside him.
It's Chen Wei.
Wang Lu lowered his voice: "I'm thinking about something." ”
"What?" Chen Wei also sat up.
Wang Lu thought for a moment, and said what he thought in his heart.
It's somewhat naïve, even ridiculous.
The family was forced by zombies to sleep on a boat in the heart of the river wrapped in a sleeping bag, but they were thinking about human nature in the sad spring and autumn.
But I don't know why, Wang Lu has the desire to tell.
Chen Wei listened quietly and did not interrupt Wang Lu's words.
She just quietly reached over and grabbed Wang Lu's palm.
Wang Lu's voice fell, and under the reflection of the navigation lights, his eyes seemed to glow inexplicably: "I'm not a good person." ”
Chen Wei clenched Wang Lu's hand, and said quietly but firmly: "No, you are working hard for me and Wang Bi'an." You are different from that man, you are guarding life. Without the drag of our mother and son, you alone can live a better life in this Resident Epoch. But you didn't leave us, all the while, you fought with zombies again and again, just to keep us alive. ”
Wang Lu was silent, and after a while, he chuckled: "It's quite like the lines of literary and artistic styles in Korean dramas." ”
Chen Wei was stunned for a moment, and when she pondered the taste, she couldn't help but lightly punch Wang Lu.
Wang Lu grabbed Chen Wei's hand and said seriously: "Wife, we will definitely live." ”
