The sky is slightly bright.

Chi Yue put away the remaining furniture in the master bedroom, put on her backpack and left the home full of many memories with Wen Qizhou.

They walked to the corridor on the 11th floor, inflated the assault boat, installed the seat board and engine, and took out a bundle of nylon rope, tied the assault boat to one end and the handrail of the staircase with the other, and hoisted it through the window of the corridor.

After making sure there were no crocodiles around, they grabbed the rope and climbed over the window, their toes against the wall and slowly descended.

The sudden flood flooded the eighth floor, and garbage floated on the murky water, giving off a pungent smell.

Chi Yue got on the boat, almost retched by the smell, she pinched the cable tie of the mask, endured the discomfort and untied the nylon rope, and took out the binoculars to look at the nearby situation.

Everywhere the eye looks, everything is normal.

"Pray for the boat." She freed one hand and grabbed the safety rope on the left side of the hull: "Let's speed up and leave the city center first." ”

"Okay." Wen Qizhou, who sat opposite her, controlled the assault boat and drove outside the community according to the visible landmarks.

The engine of the assault boat is so quiet that it is difficult to hear it from two meters away, and it does not attract anyone's attention because of the sound.

The stern of the ship made a splash, startling the swarm of flies hovering above the garbage, and flapping their wings to another place.

Wen Qizhou avoided billboards, bicycles, wardrobes and other items floating on the water, and drove steadily out of the bustling city at a speed of 40km/h, leaving only the devastated urban area.

Once you leave the familiar environment, it is difficult to find landmarks to identify the road, so you can only rely on a compass and a map to move forward.

When he drove to the flooded highway, he caught a glimpse of an orange assault boat: "Yueyue, there is a boat ahead." ”

Chi Yue turned his head to take a look.

The telescopic lens captured the captain's man and the piled up luggage, and she was a little relieved that there was no threat.

They didn't bother to catch up with the ship, but the people on board had spotted them, slowed down and waited ahead.

"Dude." There were two men and two women on the boat, one of them was a dignified-looking young man, who waved his hand at Wen Qizhou twice, raised a smile and said, "Where are you going?" ”

He and his three companions were in good spirits, neatly dressed and clean, and they knew at a glance that they had not suffered in recent times.

Wen Qizhou: "Lincheng." ”

"What a coincidence! So do we. The young man was obviously a talker, and he didn't need to ask, but he told them about it.

He and the girl wearing glasses next to him are brother and sister, and this time they went to Lincheng to find their parents who work in Lincheng.

The other two were his friends, and they had just come down from Nanshan, and when they met him on the way, they decided to leave together.

Hearing him mention Nanshan, Chi Yue's eyes fell on the two of them, and he spoke softly: "How is the situation in Nanshan?" ”

The girl with long maroon curly hair said: "The order is not bad, few people rob, but the living environment is not good." ”

"The houses on the top of the mountain are all occupied by residents near Nanshan, and we can only live in caves when we go there."

"There are at least ten people in a cave, and it's noisy every day, the air is poor, and there are a lot of bugs and snakes."

She grumbled.

As if thinking of the pain of being bitten by mosquitoes, she picked up the toilet water in her pocket and sprayed it violently all over her body.

"Isn't it normal to have bugs?" The neglected youth, earnestly expressed his opinion: "Safety is the most important thing now!" At least you won't be scared in Nanshan, right? ”

"That's right." The curly-haired woman shook the bottle and sprayed it again, and suddenly remembered to ask, "Why didn't you go up the mountain at that time?" ”

"We overslept."

"......" talents.

Seeing that he talked about his mental journey again, Chi Yue asked Wen Qizhou to speed up and say goodbye to them on the grounds that he was in a hurry.

The distance between the two ships gradually narrowed.

Compared with the rush mode of the four people "playing in the mountains and rivers", the boats they encountered in front of them were much more urgent, and they had the posture of participating in the competition, each one faster than the other.

They also stopped talking, no longer accosting anyone, and steered the ship all the way while they remained vigilant.

"Bang—"

A loud bang rang out.

A corpse floating in front of the left, with the phenomenon of giant viewing, was caught off guard and exploded in the murky water.

The exploding human tissue splashed on the ship closest to the body, causing the people sitting on the boat to collapse and scream.

"Don't look back." Wen Qizhou, who witnessed the whole process, stopped the assault boat and reminded Chi Yue.

The first time he saw such a scene, he was so sick that his stomach turned over, and he couldn't help but bend his back and retch.

Chi Yue didn't care about looking back.

She unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle, leaned forward to feed him two sips of water, and patted his palm on his back a few times.

When he regained his strength, she took out a tissue to wipe his lips, and said with concern: "Is your stomach still uncomfortable?" ”

"Much better."

Wen Qizhou took a deep breath.

He rubbed the top of Chi Yue's hair, covered the back of her hand and told her to hold on to the safety rope, and continued to move forward without squinting.

Passing by the area where there was a violent explosion, Chi Yue glanced at the water surface and the affected people with his peripheral vision, and instantly understood what was the reason for Wen Qizhou's nausea.

The limbs and organs that were blown to pieces were indeed uncomfortable, and even if she had seen them twice, it would be difficult for her to look at them directly.

She looked away, feeling the warm breeze around her, and focused on the situation behind Wen Qizhou.

Fortunately, there were no ferocious aquatic animals along the way, let alone the corpse of the second explosion of the giant view.

It's just that

As they had driven 320 kilometers and were about to refuel again, they suddenly saw rolling mountains in the distance.

Where there are mountains, there must be tunnels.

But after days of torrential rain and flooding, the tunnel leading to Lincheng must have been flooded.

Whether to advance or retreat is up to them.

"Pray for the boat." Chi Yue looked at Cong Mountain and handed over the choice to Wen Qizhou: "Detour or mountain climbing, which one do you choose?" ”

"Climb the mountain." Instead of wasting time looking for a second way, you can just climb that mountain.

Wen Qizhou raised his wrist slightly and glanced at the hour hand on the dial that was about to point to four: "We can just spend the night on the mountain." ”

It's not safe to travel in the dark.

They had planned to find a residential building to stay for the night, but now that the mountain is in front of them, they don't have to bother so much.

Chi Yue nodded: "Okay." ”

She told Wen Qizhou to stay away from other boats and people who had not yet made a choice, and find a hidden mountain path through a telescope.

They approached the mountain road, stepped over the bow of the boat and stepped on the mud, and then dragged the assault boat to the shade of the trees and retracted into space.

Then, go up the mountain with a trekking pole.

On the way up the mountain, snakes and insects are often encountered, and Wen Qizhou, who walked in front, brushed aside the emerald green snake that climbed to his feet, and turned back to ask Chi Yue.

"Yueyue, have you ever eaten snake meat?"

"I've eaten it a few times."

"How's it going?"

"Okay." Chi Yue stopped and took a sip of water to rest: "Its flesh is very tight, a bit like a bullfrog." ”
