Chapter 90: Crossing the River
Qin Xiao and the others looked at the other side of the bridge, and in the darkness, there were figures swaying and moving, obviously not normal human beings.
The Jianghuai District does not seem to be spared, looking at the past from a distance, the hundreds of storey buildings that were once landmarks have almost all collapsed, and the shocking ruins that can be seen as far as the eye can see.
Everyone was extremely depressed in their hearts, looking at the edge of Jianghuai District, there was still thick smoke and a dilapidated ruin, so could the entire Linhai City still be spared?
"Maybe it's just that Qinglin New District is serious, maybe ...... Maybe the situation in the urban area of Nanpu is not as serious as we imagined, but the roads are impassable, and the rescue ....... ”
Wang Wanting trembled slightly, said what she just said, and tried to deceive herself, but found that she couldn't even deceive herself, and she was almost about to cry, and her emotions were on the verge of collapse.
The reality that she had been afraid to face for a long time was a disaster, but now that it was alive in front of her, she knew very well that she could no longer escape.
Although Wang Wanting has evolved into a member of the Ability, her previous identity was only a junior student, and it has not been easy to persist until now.
Li Bin and Yuan Yongxuan stared blankly at the scene across the river, and they couldn't imagine what the whole city would become, and what kind of situation their relatives would encounter.
They had been escaping reality before, hoping that it was just this kind of terrible disaster in Qinglin New District, that it didn't happen anywhere else, and that their loved ones were quite safe.
But the ruin-like picture on the other side of the river has clearly told them that this kind of terrible disaster does not happen in only one area.
Dabao felt Wang Wanting's emotional changes, leaning on her side, her hair rubbing against Wang Wanting's body, making a whining sound, as if comforting her master.
"Dabao, it's good to have you by your side."
Wang Wanting hugged Dabao's neck and buried her head on it, if it weren't for Dabao saving her all the way, she would have been buried in the hands of those monsters, and she wouldn't have survived at all.
Dabao stretched out his tongue and licked Wang Wanting's face, trying his best to please the master, hoping that the master would be happy.
The others were silent, not daring to think about it, even if it was clear to anyone what it was like to have a city in ruins, and how many people had died in it.
However, everyone still wants to believe that their loved ones will survive the disaster and wait for their return.
This is also the reason why everyone insists on going back at great risks, no matter what the result is, they have to take a look for themselves before they really give up.
An unusually oppressive atmosphere, spreading through the air.
Wang Wanting bit her lower lip tightly, trying to calm herself down and stop thinking about anything.
But her body still couldn't help but tremble slightly, a week ago she was a weak girl who was protected.
But now she has to fight with terrible monsters, and what happened during this time is enough to collapse her spiritual world.
Qin Xiao sighed lightly, after all, she had gone through so many things, from being kind enough to save people, but she was framed and imprisoned in the detention center.
Up to now, how many times he has experienced life and death dangers, and how many times he has seen the death of his companions, Qin Xiao's mood has changed a lot, and he still showed due strength at critical moments.
He believed that his parents must be safe and sound, and they were waiting for him somewhere to go back to them, which was also the belief that supported Qin Xiao's survival.
"Now there are any possibilities, we have to see with our own eyes to know what is going on, and there is no use worrying about it now."
Qin Xiao took a deep breath and slowly calmed down, now they have to think about their own situation first, if they want to find their relatives, they must have their lives.
When the others heard Qin Xiao's words, they gradually recovered, no longer hesitant and uneasy, no matter what the result was, they could only think in the best direction now.
"Continue on your way tomorrow, let's rest early." Qin Xiao said.
Li Lei and the others nodded, and found a random place to lie down, except for the vigilant people, the others seized the time to rest and recover to their best state.
The world in the dark night was particularly terrifying, and a terrible roar came from afar, and even in the sky, from time to time, huge black shadows swept by.
It was a mutated flying creature, the size of a car, and some were as large as a large airplane.
Even Qin Xiao, in this pitch-black environment, didn't dare to run around.
The night was peaceful, and the sky was getting brighter.
Qin Xiao and the others also packed their bags, left the building, and came to the broken bridge again, ready to cross the broken bridge.
Although most of the bridge deck is broken and divided into six sections, the bridge deck supporting the stone pier is still quite complete, and the distance between the fractures is about ten meters, and with the current strength of Qin Xiao and others, they can easily jump on it.
Qin Xiao and the others did not act rashly, they were waiting around, and only after making sure that there were no flying mutant creatures nearby, they were ready to start crossing the bridge.
If, in normal times, they encounter flying mutant creatures, they can find a place to hide, even if they can't fight them.
But when crossing the bridge, once you encounter a flying mutant creature, it is obviously much more dangerous than usual.
In that kind of place, there is not even a place to hide, and it can only become a living target for flying mutant creatures.
"I'll go first."
As soon as Qin Xiao finished speaking, he jumped and landed on the first bridge pier, for safety, Qin Xiao tried first.
Qin Xiao stomped on the bridge deck hard, the bearing capacity was okay, there was no sign of collapse, and it should be able to support their weight.
Shen Xueyi, Zhou Yi, Li Lei and others also followed one after another, even the weakest Professor Tang, with his current physique, can easily jump a distance of nearly ten meters.
After all the others arrived at the bridge deck, Qin Xiao and his party continued to move forward, preparing to jump off the bridge deck.
Although with the strength of Qin Xiao and others, they can easily leap over such a broken bridge, but the stone pillars on the bridge deck have cracks one after another, as if they may collapse at any time.
Therefore, in order to be cautious, Qin Xiao and the others chose to move forward step by step, and did not quickly pass through the broken bridge, in case of an accident, at least there was time to react.
Qin Xiao and his entourage have passed through three bridge decks in a row, and they have walked to the same distance as a bridge, and there have been no accidents, and they seem to be quite safe.
But Qin Xiao and the others didn't know at all that in the water below, something was surging, quietly approaching Qin Xiao and the others.
Qin Xiao's eyebrows suddenly jumped, and an ominous feeling welled up in her heart, as if something bad would happen.
But when he looked around, he didn't find any flying mutant creatures coming, the corpse monsters on the opposite bridge didn't come over, and he didn't find anything problematic.
Under the dilapidated bridge, the originally calm water surface rippled one after another, and a huge black shadow was faintly swimming in the water.
I saw that the black shadow in the water was getting bigger and bigger, and a pair of scarlet eyes the size of lanterns appeared, staring at Qin Xiao and the others on the Jiaoqiao Bridge in the water, and then dived into the water again.
Dabao pricked up his ears, as if something had happened, and kept barking at the air, the hair all over his body exploded, and his tail was raised high, entering an attack state.
"Dabao, be quiet."
Wang Wanting reprimanded, for fear that Dabao's scream would attract those flying mutant creatures, and then they would be in danger.
Dabao heard Wang Wanting's words and stopped barking, but his mouth still made a whining sound, full of aggression.
"Dabao, don't argue."
Wang Wanting stroked Dabao's hair, comforting Dabao, who was restless, and didn't understand why Dabao, who had always been well-behaved, suddenly became irritable.
"Dogs have 16 times the hearing and 1,200 times the sense of smell of humans, which is a dog's stress response, a situation that only occurs when it perceives danger."
Professor Tang specializes in genetic biology, and naturally understands dogs as animals, and tells the reason why Dabao is irritable.
"But there's no danger here, is there?"
