Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 2 The Evacuation Capsule About to Disappear
What a post-disaster city looks like.

According to the documentary and big Vs, ruins are always inseparable.

However, at this moment, Chen Xuan was standing on the rescue cabin and looking around, his eyes were blank.

He couldn't see any trace of other people or city buildings.

Are you really still in the city?

From the look of the scene, it looks more like he was washed to some distant sea by the waves.

All I could see was the sparkling water surface, with all kinds of messy things floating on it.

Broken boards, broken chairs, tables, drawers...these are all objects that can be seen everywhere in daily life.

A few of them also have very obvious characters. One of the wooden boards closest to him has the word "天下" written in regular script on it.

Everything looks like the scene of a large-scale shipwreck in a movie, but the personal experience now is much more uncomfortable than when watching the movie.

At least no popcorn and milk tea.

Wait, shipwreck?
Chen Xuan thought of the huge wave again, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he lowered his head and pondered.

You know, as an inland city, Dinghong City does not rely on the river or the sea, so how could such a flood happen?
Moreover, such a huge wave is definitely not like an ordinary natural disaster, it is even beyond common sense.

What exactly is going on?

And why can't I see others?
Or did you say you crossed over?

But these floating objects around are all products of modern civilization...

Or...

Various doubts arose in Chen Xuan's heart, but there were no answers.

He wants to go home very much now, but he is not sure whether he is still in the original place for the time being, nor does he know how far away from his current home.

There is no mobile phone, and it is impossible to send any distress messages.

But one thing is certain, if there is no system, no life-saving capsule, then...

A drop of cold sweat rolled down Chen Xuan's forehead, and it was the first time that he realized what it meant to survive a catastrophe.

He lowered his head and looked at the rescue cabin under his feet. It was just a cage that imprisoned him, but now it has become the most secure thing.

"We must find a way to go home."

Chen Xuan raised his head and looked into the distance, his eyes full of firmness.

It is currently midsummer, and the sun has just revealed half of its body from the sea level.

The morning light was dim, and there was silence everywhere. Only the faint sound of waves could be heard.

The sea breeze blows gently on the body, neither cold nor hot, like a gentle and delicate touch, cooling down all the anxiety and uneasiness, making people feel indescribably comfortable.

It's a real treat if you're on vacation.

In this peaceful atmosphere, Chen Xuan's frowning brows gradually relaxed.

Anyway, there is a system, and since the system is in hand, everything is definitely not a problem.

As soon as he relaxed, a very strong sense of hunger surged up.

Because of the danger of drowning before, all his attention was focused on coping with the predicament, and his body temporarily blocked his perception.

"I don't know how long I stayed in the rescue cabin. It feels like I haven't eaten for a day and a night."

Rubbing his belly, Chen Xuan stood on the rescue cabin and began to think about the next arrangement.

Some time passed, and the rescue cabin was now full of seawater, which had already submerged his calves.

But probably because it was a product of the system, it miraculously didn't sink, but he couldn't sit still.

Obviously, the first priority is to find food to ensure their own survival, and they should also find some fresh water to drink.

Persevere, maybe you can wait for some ships to come and go.

You can be rescued then.

However, there is nothing in this small rescue capsule.

The system also cannot convert food.

Chen Xuan sighed and rubbed his frowning brows vigorously.

It's useless to have a system. At critical moments, you have to do it yourself.

He looked at the floating objects in the sea again.

These things look like they came over with him, maybe they can find something to eat in them.

However, at this time, blindly going into the water to find things will only waste energy and lose body heat in vain, which is tantamount to an act of death.

And he didn't expect that after spending a lot of time, what he found was a bag of garbage.

In addition, even if you used to be in a small river in the country, you must be careful that there are vicious animals in the water.

Now that we are in an unknown sea, we cannot judge whether there is any danger in the water, so we must be more cautious.

The experience of reading novels and various wilderness survival documentaries all the year round has become the best survival guide at this time.

It must be decided and then acted upon.

The nerves that had just been relaxed tensed slightly again.

Chen Xuan began to scan his surroundings, this time his eyes were full of guard.

The sea looked calm and there was no danger.

There is a damaged mahogany desk at the four o'clock direction, the drawers have all been pulled out, and it is impossible to store things, let alone food.

There is half a huge display board at the two o'clock direction, and the water has blurred the original content, making it impossible to tell what is written on it.

At six o'clock, there is a cracked black-painted wooden board, and the words "noodles" can be seen, which looks like a restaurant's plaque.

In addition, there are many broken boards, broken trunks, leaves, and damaged wooden furniture of various sizes, scattered in all directions.

But why are there no plastic products? This should be the most daily thing.

This idea flashed by, but he quickly left it behind him. Finding food is the top priority right now.

After looking through it all, it didn't look like there was food in it at all, and he didn't even need to search for it.

Chen Xuan lowered his head and looked into the depths of the sea.

Since there is nothing on the water, we can only go into the water to see if there are any other clues.

For Chen Xuan, who grew up in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, swimming was not a problem, and he was gifted with the ability to see underwater.

But as I said before, beware of any dangerous creatures in the water.

What if a shark comes?
After staring at the sea for a long time, making sure that there was no other abnormal movement except his handsome reflection, Chen Xuan turned over and helped the rescue cabin into the water slowly.

Being cautious is like checking the temperature of the water in the bath.

This posture ensures that if there is any trouble, he can immediately return to the rescue cabin.

The underwater is not turbid, the visibility is very high, and there is nothing special about it. It is not much different from what you see in the river water in the countryside every day.

Some fish can be faintly seen swimming in the distance, their scales flashing slightly in the sunlight.

No matter how far away, there is a bottomless darkness.

That is a restricted area that cannot be involved for the time being.

After looking around, there was still no food that could be obtained directly, and there were no other useful clues.

Although I saw the fish, with my own skill, I would probably die of exhaustion before catching the fish.

However, more troublesome things were yet to come. When Chen Xuan returned to the emergency cabin, a new reminder came from the system.

"System prompt: [Rescue Capsule] is a temporary product of the system's emergency procedures. It has been damaged and is about to disappear. The countdown is 2:00."

Don't carry it like this.

Chen Xuan's frown deepened.

The food problem has not been solved yet, and this time ushered in a more serious survival problem.

He turned and looked around.

There is no place to support him on this sea.

In other words, once the rescue capsule disappears, Jie Shi himself will be soaked in the water, and he will still be hungry.

If there is no ingestible food to continuously provide heat, and because the sea water accelerates the loss of body temperature, in his current state, there is almost no possibility of surviving.

Thinking about it, he felt a chill in his body.

No, now we have to build a temporary shelter, preferably a boat.

But building a ship independently in two hours?This is probably a joke.

Just now, I was still excited about getting the system, but in the blink of an eye, I faced the big problem of survival.

Chen Xuan now feels like he took a big dragon while playing a game, only to find that his teammates were wiped out by the group when he turned around.

I can't live anymore, so what's the use of this system.

Standing on the rescue cabin, Chen Xuan sorted out his thoughts.

Two hours, I only have two hours.

He urgently needs to get a ship now, maybe there is related technology in the [Black Technology Module] waiting to be unlocked.

Of course, if there is a more advanced black technology, such as a "space jump", then you can directly return yourself to human society.

It's time to show the power of the system.
