Chapter 328: Dolphins
Ren Yi lay on the side of the boat and looked out all the way, the fax had completely adapted to the method of driving the boat, and the walk was quite smooth.
At first, it was too shaky, and it kept spinning in place, and on two occasions the bow of the ship hit the shore directly, and the iron sheet rubbed against the reef and made a creaking sound, which was extremely harsh. More than half an hour had passed, and the boat had barely left the port river, and Ren Yi looked a little anxious. He even began to regret his decision to take the ship and wanted to return to land. It doesn't matter if there's a huge whirlpool ahead, it's just a vicious battle when you meet the Advent. It's also better than spinning in circles.
The waves were undulating, and everyone dangled on the boat for half an hour, and they all began to get seasick. Lao Li directly lay on the ground and vomited.
Now that everything is finally in order, a few hours have passed, and the water is getting wider and wider, and the sound of water sparkling can be heard outside the window, and the scenery outside the window is much the same, and there are tall abandoned iron towers everywhere, which are covered with dense climbing plants. Traces of destruction can be seen everywhere. The residential buildings on both sides of the shore were completely abandoned, some of them collapsed in large areas, and no one had passed for a long time, and the rattling sound of the boat as it drove by, startling countless strangely shaped birds.
Time is completely out of reference, they have already experienced many sunsets on this short journey, and at one point, the sun did not even sink completely, and then began to rise. Moreover, now the sun seems to have completely abandoned the rule of rising in the east and setting in the west, and has begun to move irregularly along the entire sky like a bubble on a computer desktop screensaver.
Ren Yi didn't know if this was the Adventist warning him - if you still insisted on going your own way, then the planet was not far from being abolished.
So, they're already based on their own feelings. Eat when you're hungry and sleep when you're sleepy.
Lao Li was already boiling hot water, and the dry food they were carrying in the car had been transferred to the boat, and the "Falling Moon" was giving him a hand, and the steaming heat quickly drifted to Ren Yi's face along the direction of the river breeze, and there was a kind of aroma of noodles. He didn't feel hungry, but when he smelled it, his stomach immediately gurgled.
"Okay, okay?" Ren Yi asked. Since they hit the road, each of them has felt as if a big rock has hung over their hearts. It's been a long time since I've had such a relaxing moment.
"It's okay," said Li, "let's eat."
The crowd immediately sat down around the steaming little iron pot.
"Huh?" Ren Yi picked up a pair of chopsticks and noodles, and kept blowing hot air. After taking two bites, he suddenly felt that there was one person missing, looked around and asked curiously, "Where has the Yanshi gone?"
"Outside," Lao Li pouted as he ate his noodles, "I don't know what I'm looking at."
Following his gaze, Ren Yi turned his head back, only to see the back of the "Yanshi" on the hazy glass covered with dust. She was lying on the railing, bending her waist in an almost extreme arc, her head close to the water, her hair blowing back, fluttering in the wind.
There seemed to be something in the water, making a clattering sound, like a school of fish. She watched so intently that she didn't even hear her be told to eat.
"What for?" Ren Yi walked out of the narrow hatch and looked against the railing.
The colors in the sky take on a strange yellow, reflected in the water, as if heavily polluted. The water was also muddy, and near the shore were littered with rotting branches and leaves.
A few shadows huddled on the side of the ship, following the ship as it went. From time to time, shadows come close to the surface of the water, revealing a little gray outline. It's these things that make sounds.
Ren Yi lowered his head to take a closer look, and after only one glance, he felt sick to his stomach, and the noodles he ate were tasteless.
One of the shadows leaped hard, revealing a pale gray smooth, stiff skin, on which a film of water quickly receded, turning into droplets of water dripping, exuding a heavy fishy smell.
"It's a dolphin!" "Yanshi" watched intently, "My wish when I was a kid was to go to the zoo and see dolphins!"
「…… This is in the river, how can there be dolphins." Ren Yi said reluctantly with a stiff expression on his face.
"That's the pufferfish. Whatever," the Yanshi replied happily.
Those things weren't dolphins at all, they were mutated people.
The bones of the limbs of the whole body are retreating
melted, glued together. The skin between the limbs also merges with each other to form a tail-like whole. Their faces still retain human features relatively intact, and from time to time they leap out of the water, looking at the ship curiously, Ren Yi is reluctant to take a closer look. Ren Yi had seen this kind of thing in the strange stones of Qinnan City, and he remembered it vividly.
Ren Yi took a cursory look back, and I don't know how many of these "dolphins" there were, all chasing after the stern of the boat, and kept making waves.
These must be the inhabitants of the shore...... No wonder, all the buildings on the shore are empty.
Suddenly, these strange dolphins began to whirl and quickly disappeared into the murky depths of the river. Just now, the water surface was still undulating, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye, leaving only the water that slowly subsided.
"You scared them all away!" "Yanshi" dissatisfied.
This...... They're so scary than I am, okay. Ren Yi said in his heart.
At this moment, Ren Yi keenly felt that the speed of the ship was slowing down.
Well? What's going on ahead? He immediately became vigilant.
These dolphins are acting differently, and they should have sensed something and quickly hid.
"What's wrong?" Ren Yi stepped into the cabin, and suddenly found that Lao Li and Fax were all gathered in front, staring intently at the waterway in front of them, frowning.
Ren Yi felt bad in his heart, and immediately walked over.
I saw that the river in front of me suddenly narrowed, and a large number of dead branches and fallen leaves on both sides covered the water surface, almost occupying the entire river channel. The branches that were not rotten were soaked in water and turned a deep black, twisted and pointed towards the sky, like strange hands.
Ren Yi approached the glass and immediately noticed something unusual.
On the dirty and silted water, a gray hand was really stretched out!
Not the mutated hands of monsters, but the hands of real humans!
"It's ......"
Further into the distance, his gaze was not limited to this one, but human limbs of various parts and angles were poking out from the surface of the water!
Some are hands, some are feet, some are arms......
Without exception, these people are grayish-white and stiff, like a failed sculpture that has been thrown into the water.
"Sucked dry?" Ren Yi understood the situation.
"There are so many of them all of a sudden, there should be a whirlpool ahead." Fax said solemnly.
Oh my God, it's in the water, too?
If that's the case, the boat is far less agile than the car!
"Not necessarily," Lao Li shook his head, "Judging from the situation of the entire alliance, this should have happened a long time ago. The Adventist may be gone, and the maelstrom is empty."
"I'll borrow your good words," Ren Yi said, "You hurry up and use Lucky A, maybe it's still too late......
Rumble!
Before Ren Yi finished speaking, a loud bang immediately came from the stern!
