Chapter 43: The Tsunami (I)

The crowd only heard a loud "pop" and the valley roared in unison; and there was another "bang," and a huge splash of water mixed with gravel, branches, and wooden planks fell down on their heads and faces! The sky was so majestic that everyone closed their eyes tightly and lowered their heads to hide, and hundreds of people screamed loudly, but they were drowned out in silence by the sound of the huge waves.

There are also people who are injured by various objects mixed in the sea, but they don't care about shouting, curl up, and ask God to bless them.

Wave after wave!

One wave is more fierce than the other!

The only thing to be thankful for is that everyone was connected with ropes in advance, and no one has been swept away by the waves for the time being.

He Tingting grabbed the rope with one hand and pulled Jiang Mantian's clothes with the other, waves of sea water fell above his head, but he remembered the scene of participating in the Songkran Festival with his father a few years ago.

The past is gone!

For a few days, relatives were separated, and a sour feeling welled up on the tip of his nose.

Another huge wave to shoot down!

He Tingting tightened the rope, and then thought that there were so many people by his side at this moment, and Jiang Mantian also took care of himself from time to time, and there was an inexplicable trace of sweetness in his heart.

As long as he is there, no matter how violent the waves are and how turbulent the sea is, it doesn't seem so unbearable.

Jiang Mantian's body endured the tyranny of the sea, but his brain was like a supercomputer, quickly calculating various data on the wavelength of the peaks and troughs of the sea tide.

According to his calculations, the highest waves came fifteen minutes after the first wave arrived, and then weakened in turn. Whether everyone can survive depends on whether they can carry the first fifteen minutes.

As the tide floods, the water level gradually increases, and it seems that it is almost at the foot of the foot.

Jiang Mantian nervously estimated the time in his heart, and suddenly a super strong wave rushed in, and he was about to fall down when he was unstable for a while, and with the help of He Tingting's hand behind him, he regained his figure.

Just now he heard dozens of people screaming not far away, as if someone was swept away by the waves, and he felt deeply sorry.

As long as they can hold on a little longer, even for a minute, they may not be swept away by the waves, and they will not have to die!

However, there are some things that there is no way to assume!

Looking at the people who were still holding on in the waves, Jiang Mantian quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

If nothing else, the waves will begin at this point and slowly weaken.

He knew that despite the thorny road ahead, as long as they survived this tide, they could rely on the warehouse under the Dragon Garden and the strategic escape ship under the Yihe Garden to establish a small and medium-sized human base, and they would no longer have to be driven around by natural disasters, and they could even turn passive into active, and get enough time and space to survive and develop in the apocalyptic world.

He knows that after the tide of the sea, in the city, around the city, in the connection between the city, in the majestic snow-capped mountains, the vast grassland, the desert that is inaccessible, in the vast forest and the vast sea, earth-shaking ecological changes will occur, the old species will differentiate and evolve, new species will emerge one after another, and the living environment faced by human beings will return to the ancient barbaric era.

However, human beings have the spark of civilization, the foundation of wisdom, and the evolutionary speed that is not weaker than that of ordinary species, although the number of human beings has shrunk to a pitiful level, as long as they are managed carefully, they can still become the absolute hegemon in the world over time.

The tide crashed endlessly against the mountain walls, and in some places there were large areas of landslides, although they were still some distance away, but they were still terrifying and trembling. After a long time, everyone could no longer stand and sat on the ground.

Some were seriously injured and fainted to death.

Liu Wan sat behind He Dali, her teeth trembling, and she shrunk into a ball. Compared with the cold on his body, his heart felt doubly desolate. Although I was surrounded by thousands of people, I still felt alone. He Dali's majestic body, what she gave was only her back, but what she gave permission was her embrace.

The waves raged for a full afternoon, and gradually subsided.

The water level of the sea is also slowly receding, but it will definitely not be clean for a while. Many lay on the ground exhausted, not caring how muddy and dirty the mud was.

In the midst of a heavy gasp and a low wail, suddenly a hearty laugh rang out: "Haha, haha!"

Everyone didn't know why, they all looked up at the place where the sound came from, only to see He Dali dragging a sea fish weighing seven or eight catties in one hand, and laughed: "I have something to eat at night! Haha! Catch a fish! There are a lot of fish!"

It turned out that the waves were too strong, and many fish were also swept into the air by the waves, falling into mud puddles and branches on the mountain, and falling half to death. Naturally, everyone took a break, and then they caught fish one after another.

This is really a great calamity, and there will be a blessing in the future.

Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, news suddenly came from the top of the mountain, the beasts on it were killed or chased, and they had been basically cleaned up, so the people under the mountain were invited to go up in order, set up a fire and torture the meat, and temporarily spend the night on the top of the mountain.

The one or two thousand people who were stranded on the mountainside before can be said to have been rescued by Jiang Mantian, they knew that it was bad, and their gratitude was indescribable, so they separated from each other, silently gave him the way up the mountain, and asked him to pass first.

Jiang Mantian's eyes were hot, but he still refused everyone's kindness, and led He Tingting, He Dali, Xu Xu, Liu Wan, Mo Fei, Xiao Mengge, Wei Chuanfeng and other people to the end of the team, and slowly climbed to the top of the mountain.

Because everyone has more or less picked up some sea fish, and they carry a lot of them, and they are very slow, and they can't walk for a while, so they have to stop again.

Not long after, the two people went down the mountain retrograde, sweating profusely to find Jiang Mantian to report, saying that in the valley on the side of the mountain road, a huge iron ball was found, stuck in the branches of several big trees, and someone could be heard shouting, but it was too far away to know the details.

Jiang Mantian's heart moved, and he hurriedly rushed to the scene to check, it turned out to be a large iron ball with a diameter of about four meters, which was washed into the valley by the waves, and the sea water receded, and it was stuck on the trees in the valley.

This iron ball must be a self-made escape pod, with a sealed iron shell on the outside and a hollow ball inside, between the hollow ball and the iron sheet, a number of unloading elastic materials are installed. The person is fixed inside the hollow ball and can indeed get a certain degree of protection. It would be even better if there was food and water in it.

No matter what the era, in any country in the world, there is no shortage of prophecies and speculations about the end of the world, although most people will regard it as a rumor and listen to it in vain. However, there are still a small number of people who would rather believe what they have than what they don't.

Therefore, you can often hear the news from the market that a certain local tyrant has spent a lot of money to build a miniature version of the warship, a civilian Noah's Ark, a spherical space capsule, etc., anyway, he is idle, and he is not short of money.

If there is no apocalypse, don't hesitate to treat this as a game, talk about it as a pastime, and if there is really an apocalypse, it is likely to come in handy.
