Chapter 17: The Mighty Waves
Because of the prediction of the possible storm, Shu Xingbei had a good night's sleep.
There was another reason why he could sleep peacefully, and that was that the poisonous frogs had somehow found the vicinity of his houseboat, and the croaking sound resounded all around, and a few of them stayed at the door of the houseboat, guarding him like door gods.
The sound of frogs that sounds noisy to ordinary people sounds like this, but Shu Xingbei sounds the same.
There are not a few people in the houseboat area who covet his current wealth, and those he has killed will inevitably have thoughts of revenge in their families, and when all this is guarded by the poisonous frog, it becomes insignificant.
Shu Xingbei doesn't even have a sense of crisis.
Of course, the disappearance of the sense of crisis is temporary.
Those guys who watched Shu Xingbei's every move in the shadows were itching with hatred. It's weird, this kid is weird.
The poisonous frog that everyone fears has become the patron saint of Shu Xingbei, and no one has a problem.
Ill-intentioned people had to retreat in the dark.
Shu Xingbei slept until dawn for the first time.
The sleep refreshed him.
Outside, there were hunters greeting each other, all of them going out to sea. There are also people in their forties and fifties coughing, one weaker than one, and there is obviously phlegm in their voices.
At the age of forty or fifty, if you can't harvest enough food and water, it is tantamount to entering old age.
The poisonous frogs at the door of the houseboat have dispersed.
Shu Xingbei opened the hatch, only to see that they were still guarding the side of the ship.
What are they for, always surrounding themselves?
However, the poisonous frogs did not do him any harm, and even became a great help to him, and Shu Xingbei would not care about them.
As long as the poison frog is willing, he has no problem living in his cabin.
Poison frogs, much better than people.
I don't know why, not long after Shu Xingbei got up today, he felt an inexplicable irritability. After he ate some liquid food and drank some water, the feeling of restlessness and irritability became more and more intense.
Could it be that something is going to happen today?
At ten o'clock in the morning, Shu Xingbei clearly felt that the temperature had become lower, and the air movement around him had become faster.
First, the half-open hatch was blown shut by the wind.
Immediately, there was an endless whirring sound that filled the houseboat area. The wind was blowing harder and the sky was getting darker.
Gradually, heavy black clouds completely obscured the sky, and the houseboat area fell into darkness again.
Distant and near, all were curses and worries.
If there is a bounty hunter who went to sea in the family and does not come back, then the heart of this family is carried.
Bang bang, bang bang, the waves are up.
Shu Xingbei can really see it in the dark. This time, the waves were really big, although he couldn't see the situation in the outer sea through the dense boats in the houseboat area, but he could see the situation in the houseboat area.
The wind pushed the sea, and the sea piled up with the sea, and it only took three to five minutes, and the huge waves were like large sea beasts standing, with their eyes wide open, ready to swallow the whole houseboat area in their stomachs.
The waves rushed in, and the chains between the houseboats were pulled and there was a squeaky sound.
A wave like a collapsing mountain broke down from the air and slammed into the houseboat.
The continuous houseboats made an overwhelmed sound, boom, boom, and one of the houseboats was swept away by the angry waves, shattered in the waves, and became pieces of sampans.
There were also terrified cries for help, but they were swallowed up by the waves in an instant.
The first wave has just passed, and the second wave has hit again.
The chains that had just been pushed away by the waves had not yet recovered, and were once again pulled apart with a heavy blow.
The second wave was followed by the third wave.
In less than half an hour, the houseboat area had been hit by more than a dozen violent impacts.
Finally, the outermost chains were torn off, and tens of thousands of houseboats were swept into the sea, and the people in the houseboats didn't even have a chance to struggle, and some people just stretched out their arms and wanted to do something, but when the waves rolled up, they all became underwater ghosts.
After the first layer of iron chain on the outer perimeter of the houseboat was torn off, the second layer of the houseboat was immediately replaced by the perimeter.
Another monstrous wave rolled in, and the chains were tightened, whirled, and tightened, as if two giants were fighting with them, and the chains finally broke again.
Along the way of the waves, tens of thousands of houseboats were ruthlessly swept into the sea. Under the black waves, they didn't even have a chance to call for help, not to mention that they had the strength to fight back.
Under the strong wind, it is difficult for everyone to open their mouths. Not to mention shouting for help.
The two-storey houseboat block was swallowed up by the waves, and the residents who lived a little further forward were terrified.
Irresistible natural disasters, no matter who encounters them, can only sigh for their own bad luck.
If you can get away with it, it is the existence of the ancestral tomb with green smoke.
Shu Xingbei lives in the back of the houseboat, and he is not in danger of being swallowed by the waves for the time being.
And most importantly, the poison frog is still on his boat. This means that his location should be in a safe area.
The huge waves engulfed the seven-story houseboat in succession, and finally came to a calm track.
At this time, the darkness is still shrouded in the area of the houseboat, and a person like Shu Xingbei who can see clearly in the dark is not the only one, at least he is the only one in the houseboat area.
The residents at the back of the houseboat area had no idea what was going on in front of them, and they were still lucky, thinking that the hunters who had gone out to sea to salvage the ruins could still return, but they didn't know that they had already fed the deep-sea fish and shrimp.
The waves finally subsided, and the darkness receded little by little. When the people dared to get out of the houseboat, they were surprised to find countless fish floating on the surface of the sea, some of them fainted, some of them dead.
"Fish, fish," the survivors excited. The fish in the vicinity of the houseboat area are not very large, but they are not dangerous to people at all.
"This one is mine, and so is this one," the scramble inevitably began as more and more fishermen gathered.
When someone was fishing, he fished up a corpse, he didn't even look at it, and directly pushed it away with his spear, "Waste Lao Tzu's time," he didn't care at all that this corpse was his kind, and before the huge waves hit, like him, he was also a living person.
But no one cared.
Of course, the chaos in the houseboat area can't escape Shu Xingbei's eyes. He didn't care, he didn't rob.
In Shu Xingbei's opinion, as long as he completes the salvage task of the No. 7 ruins and redeems Nie Lan, he can be regarded as having completed his goal.
As for food and drink, he is not lacking at the moment.
The poisonous frogs on the ship are gone, and there must be no special danger after the huge waves.
Shu Xingbei decided to go out and explore the way first. It's best to find an island where you can live while exploring the ruins of Seven.
