Chapter 44: The Swarm of Worms

The monster, which crashes into the ship and gets vented for its emotions, dives back into the sea of sand.

Without the impact of the outside world, the shattered hull was barely stabilized.

Although it still maintains a certain angle of inclination, it is not perpendicular to the sea of sand, and there is no risk of direct capsizing.

Yan Jing relied on his strong physical fitness and stubbornly resisted the impact and was not thrown out directly.

By this time he was already on the top of the second half of the ship, climbing the edge of the roof and hanging on it.

Looking down, part of the stern of the ship has sunk into a sea of sand.

The two lifeboats were gone, and only a few lucky passengers were left to survive with some cargo floating on the sandy sea.

In addition, there was an unexpected lifeboat nearby that survived, Yan Jing stood on a high place, and could clearly see that the two people on the boat seemed to have avoided the impact in advance, and there were two packages stacked in the boat.

Foreseeing danger?

With his arms exerting force, the whole person rose upward, and Yan Jing turned around in the air and sat down on the edge of the sloping roof of the captain's room.

The first mission required Yan Jing to survive until the research ship arrived.

This means that a ship will definitely pass by and will come to their aid.

All Yan Jing had to do now was wait here.

Fortunately, this kind of ship sailing on the Sand Sea had obviously undergone special modifications, and the density of the Sand Sea seemed to be not low, so the speed of the ship's sinking speed was slower than Yan Jing expected.

As long as Yan Jing maintained his current state, he could easily hold out for a while.

However, just as Yan Jing was about to change to a more comfortable posture and avoid the hot sun, the cry for help from under his feet caught his attention.

"Help! Save...... Help me! There are monsters in the sea of sand! ”

The person who asked for help was a middle-aged woman, she was lying on a wooden plank, not far from the stern of the boat, and the whole person was floating in the sea of sand, as if she would be directly submerged by the rolled sand waves in the next second.

She could see Yan Jing's position when she looked up, so she subconsciously called for help.

I thought that the monster she was shouting at was the giant demonic beast that was rampage just now, but I didn't expect Yan Jing to look in the direction indicated by her raised arm, but she happened to see a large number of python-like monsters showing their bodies in the sand sea hundreds of meters away.

The tan body arched in the dust, and at first glance it looked like dozens of huge tires were piled up in the sand, but they kept spinning and moving forward, and at this speed it would not be long before they came nearby.

Yan Jing acted decisively.

Just a few people died, and he didn't care.

The trouble is that if these people die too much, the bloody gas spreads, and maybe something will be attracted......

At this time, you will be watching from the wall, and you will have to cry at that time.

Of course, there are also ways to save people.

Yan Jing was not sure of the strength of the monsters in this world, and if he jumped the ship directly, he would definitely be looking for death, so he looked left and right, his eyes locked on the rope that was wrapped around the side of the ship that was originally used to fix the sails.

The masts carrying the sails had broken in previous collisions, and the ropes were used to act as a tool to save people.

Got up and stepped on the edge, jumped out at the right time, landed directly next to the side of the boat, bent down to pick up the large bundle of rope, first tied a live buckle at one end, and then moved down.

Due to the tilting angle between the rear half of the hull and the sea of sand, although it was not upside down, it was obviously impossible to stand firm and go down, and Rao is Yan Jing had to hold the side panels of the ship while slowly moving down.

The stern of the ship continued to sink, and the flowing sand and gravel were like an insatiable beast, crushing and engulfing the hull of the ship one by one.

"I'll throw the rope over and put it in my armpit later, can I hear me?"

Yan Jing didn't expect the middle-aged woman to escape by grabbing only the other end of the rope, so she shouted loudly.

The distance between the two sides was not far, and Yan Jing moved until he was behind a pile of crates near the stern of the ship to stabilize his footing, and then threw the rope.

The power that humans can burst out in order to survive is enormous, and the woman is no exception, and she puts it on her body as soon as she catches the rope.

Yan Jing's strength was not difficult to drag a person up, and when he saw that the other party was about to finish, it was like fishing, and he lifted the middle-aged woman up from the sea of sand in three or two clicks, and immediately grabbed her clothes and threw them near the side side of the boat.

"Go up the side of the ship, the higher the better!"

At this time, many survivors around had noticed the approach of the group of monsters, and the cries for help came and went, Yan Jing couldn't save everyone at once, so he could only follow the principle of proximity and pull up from the nearest place first.

Goo~Lu~

It wasn't long before a rhythmic hum could be heard in the wind and sand.

At this time, Yan Jing had just dragged the eighth person, and these survivors who had finally escaped were thanking him all over the place, but his eyes were first cast in the direction where the voice came from.

He saw three people lying on a floating cargo box dozens of meters away, a distance that ropes could not reach, and those men almost knew it, so they sensed the danger and turned to the only nearby lifeboat for help, hoping that the people on board would pull them.

But the next scene made Yan Jing frown.

I saw that the two people on the lifeboat not only had no intention of saving people, one of them was still throwing something at the location of the caller, and the other was using the oars to stay away from the area, and then shrank directly into the cabin, completely silent.

Seeing that no one came to save them, the wails of several people on the cargo box became louder and louder.

It wasn't until the humming was close that they stopped shouting, desperately trying to climb up the crate and get their legs off the blazing sand.

Yan Jing stood near the stern of the boat, staring at them, the worm mouthparts full of sharp teeth behind them, to be exact.

The "pythons" shuttling in the sea of sand finally appeared, they were like earthworms with mouthparts, coiling forward.

Everywhere you go, devour all living things!

The proximity of the worm swarm forced Yan Jing to halt the rescue operation.

The eight people who had been rescued earlier had all climbed to the height of the back half of the ship at this time, temporarily out of danger.

But these people were far more than those who died.

They were tossed off in the previous onslaught, barely surviving on the various debris that had fallen from the ship.

Due to the distance from the ship, it was difficult to return for a while, and Yan Jing could not be saved.

Originally, these people could still rely on the debris floating on the sand sea for a while, and if they were lucky, they might be able to wait for the arrival of the research ship.

However, the arrival of the worm swarm has completely left them in a desperate situation.

In the face of the terrifying worms that can move freely in the sea of sand, it is not that no one shouts not to move and make a sound, these worms have no eyes and cannot sense the words of stationary objects.

The question is that in the churning and undulating sea of sand, in the face of the "worm forest" that is only a dozen meters apart, who can really be motionless?

Fear overwhelmed everything.

Some people directly gave up the clutter they relied on and swam like crazy to the back half of the truncated boat where Yan Jing was, and there were also people who were originally guards on the ship, holding a strangely shaped pistol in their hands, constantly pulling the trigger, trying to disperse these worms.

Needless to say, the ending is self-explanatory.
