Chapter 17: The Sea Monster
Chapter 17: The Sea Monster
"Someone ran away! Someone ran away!! ”
As soon as the lifeboat started, there was a sudden shout from upstairs, Jiang Mi didn't look back, and focused on driving.
There are floating objects everywhere on the water, and there will even be some submerged bulges, once you don't pay attention, the lifeboat is very likely to hit the reef and cause damage, although there is a spare one in the space, but after all, this is a non-renewable resource, and she is not willing to waste it.
Fortunately, she is very familiar with the surrounding terrain, even if the sea water has changed a lot, but follow the route in her impression and avoid a little floating debris on the water, at least there will be no big problems on the way out of the Moon Bay apartment.
"Where are you going! Take me! Please, take me! I don't want to die! ……”
Perhaps it was the man's voice that woke up the other survivors in the apartment, and the shouts for help rang out one after another, and seeing that the family had no intention of turning back, the desperate survivors began to curse, and some even jumped off the building to swim from the sea to the side of the boat.
But it turned out that not long after entering the water, it disappeared into the water with a scream.
The other survivors who didn't have the courage could only watch as the lifeboat disappeared before their eyes.
Moon Bay Apartment is not very big, it only takes ten minutes to drive in normally, but now in this situation, it is much more difficult to get out, and when I see the door of the Moon Bay Apartment in my impression, half an hour has passed.
Now the external temperature has almost dropped to ten degrees, especially in the early morning, the cold air is mixed with the rich seafood moisture, and the cold people are shivering, but Jiang Mi's forehead is oozing a thin layer of sweat because of his full attention.
"If you're tired, I'll drive it." Jiang Xun said warmly while observing the surrounding water surface.
Jiang Mi nodded and did not refuse.
The lifeboat slowly drove out of the gate of the Moon Bay apartment, and you could see a fairly large area surrounded by several commercial buildings.
Now there is no navigation, Jiang Mi is standing while discerning the direction, and as soon as he drives a distance, he feels the hull of the ship vibrate violently, as if he has hit something.
"Alert!"
Jiang Xun warned in a low voice, holding the dagger in his hand and his eyes swayed the sea like an eagle, and soon, he was keenly aware that there was a black shadow swimming at the bottom of the boat, looking like a fish.
"There's something." He gestured, staring at the dark shadow for a moment.
Father Jiang, who was close to him, also tensed, picked up the harpoon on the side and held it up to the black shadow.
Jiang Mi glanced at the sea out of the corner of her eye, and also saw the black shadow, but the thing was always shaking in the deep water, swimming to the bottom of the boat from time to time to hit it, she couldn't tell what it was, so she could only speed up the lifeboat slightly, hoping to get rid of that thing.
But the thing seemed to entangle them, and she sped up and the thing sped up, always tentatively attacking around the lifeboat.
"This harpoon seems to be electrified, why don't you electrify it?" Father Jiang carefully looked at the harpoon in his hand and made a suggestion.
Jiang Xun didn't answer, his eyes fell on Jiang Mi in front of him.
Jiang Mi thought for a while after noticing it: "This lifeboat is coated and can be electrified, but pay attention to the range, I suspect that there should be more than this kind of sea monster around, if it attracts too much, we will be in danger." ”
Father Jiang nodded, a touch of excitement appeared in his eyes, he spit two mouthfuls of spit into his palm and rubbed it tightly, and then clenched the harpoon, "Hey, little rabbit cub, taste Lao Tzu's awesomeness!" ”
After saying that, he saw the right time, grabbed the harpoon and stabbed it hard at the black shadow, and there was a huge force of shock from the two touching harpoons, and Jiang's father leaned back before he sat down, and the harpoon almost slipped off.
"Wow! This thing is made of iron?! ”
Father Jiang, who was unfavorable and wanted to show it, was a little annoyed and angry, and secretly glanced at Mother Jiang, who had been staring at him nervously, "If I go down with this fork, even the shark will have to be pierced, what the hell is this!" ”
Jiang Xun kept staring at the strange thing, and saw that after the harpoon pierced it, the strange thing was brought down in the water by force, and then his body twisted and came out from under the harpoon, and it looked like he was indeed not injured.
Immediately after, probably due to the harpoon discharge, the strange thing just swam twice and then froze, Jiang's father stared at it viciously, the harpoon in his hand kept releasing voltage, about dozens of seconds later, the strange thing finally slowly fell into the deep water.
Father Jiang put away the harpoon, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, I can't kill you and I can't kill you with electricity?" ”
Mother Jiang gave a thumbs up, "The old man should be strong and strong!" ”
Father Jiang raised his head proudly, held the harpoon and stood beside him, posing like Guan Gong and touching his non-existent beard, "That's, don't look at who I am!" ”
Jiang Xun smiled lightly and shook his head, and continued to observe the surface of the water.
A small water monster that didn't pose much of a threat still raised the vigilance in his heart to the highest, and he didn't dare to take it lightly before he actually reached the bomb shelter.
Fortunately, as the sun rose, the strong sunlight not only dispelled the cold, but also greatly improved the visibility in the water, and they never attacked the lifeboat by any sea monsters along the way, but they saw something black and hugging in the water in a corner where the sun could not reach.
It's like a swarm of tadpoles that have been magnified countless times.
The tangled and wriggling lump makes people can't help but chill at a glance.
At noon, the family simply settled lunch with bread and milk, and Jiang Xun replaced Jiang Mi as the next driver.
"Someone! It's a living person! It's a living person! It's really a living person! That's great! Help me! Help me! ”
Passing by a high-rise building where residents live again, a head poked out of the window, waved his arms excitedly, and shouted.
This is the number of survivors who have asked them for help along the way, Jiang Mi calmly retracted his gaze and didn't look any more, but he was counting the number of survivors he encountered in his heart.
The city of H, where she is now located, is on the seaside, one of the cities hardest hit by the tsunami, and there are relatively few survivors, so far she has only seen a few dozen survivors, which is what she has seen across nearly half of the city.
Although H City is not a super first-tier city, it has a population base of more than 18 million, but now only such a few survivors are seen, although the actual number may be more than this, but this survival rate is still alarming.
The lifeboat quickly sailed away again and left the cry for help behind, Jiang Mi looked at the sun, the sun was setting in the west, the time had come to five o'clock in the afternoon, and the shadows brought by the large buildings began to make those water monsters active.
"Gotta pick up the pace." Jiang Mi walked to his brother's side and whispered, his eyes fell on the surrounding water, and a faint sense of danger appeared in his heart.
