After the fog, I became a birdman
Chapter 65
In the afternoon, Su Qing thought that although they had a lot of supplies, they couldn't waste them, so they went to the water to pick up some usable things.
Qi Jiang also wanted to go, he felt that he was already well, running and jumping was fine, Su Qing thought so when he saw that his movements were relaxed, but when Qi Jiang really got into the water, he found that his waist was still aching when he was swimming, and his movements were too big. Cold sweat broke out at one o'clock, and the resistance of his body made him realize that he was still unable to cope with the turbulent undercurrent in the water, and in the end he could only let Su Qing go alone.
Everyone's backpacks have plastic inner bags, but after being soaked overnight in dirty water, many things are unusable.
The main thing that can't be used is food, other things like tools can still be used, and everything adds up to a lot.
Their boat sank at the bottom of the water, and one side was dented a lot. When Su Qing went down to look for it, he found a big hole in the hull. They didn't have the corresponding repair materials, so they had to abandon the boat regrettably.
During this period, he also searched around the nearby buildings, but he still couldn't find Brother Chen and the others. Finally, when he came back, he discussed with Qi Jiang about going to Jinluo Garden tonight.
In the past, there were only two methods, flying over and swimming over. Qi Jiang is inconvenient to enter the water now, and he can't fly too far. No matter which method is used, Su Qing has to take him.
There was still a boat in their space, but neither of them thought about exposing the space, so they didn't take out the new boat in the end.
Swimming through the water is not impossible. Although there are many undercurrents and dirty things in the water, the difficulty of coping is actually similar to that of coping with the strong wind and rain above. The difference is that the wings get wet quickly after flying over, and it is difficult to fly again. In the water, there is no need to worry about battery life.
However, the water is too dirty. Su Qing had to take a bath after getting out of the water today in order to pick up supplies and find people. If he swims from the water to Jinluo Garden, he can only take a bath in the rain instead of using clean water. Water, otherwise there is no way to explain to Zhang Zhen.
Both Qi Jiang and Qi Jiang are obsessed with cleanliness. Given a choice, they are unwilling to get themselves dirty, so they choose to fly over when the weather is calm at night.
When they flew to Jinluo Garden, the two found a fire jumping on the top floor. It should be someone warming the fire inside, and there was only one person in the shadow.
They all knew that it was Zhang Zhen, but they still took some chances.
The windows were closed, and the two of them went upstairs from the downstairs if they couldn't get in. When they opened the door and saw Zhang Zhen alone, they were a little disappointed in their hearts.
Zhang Zhen sat on the ground in a daze, her eyes lit up when she heard the door open, and seeing the familiar face, she stood up expectantly and looked behind the two of them, the joy on her face slowly froze: "You finally... why are you the only ones?" two?"
Su Qing glanced at Qi Jiang, and finally he told the truth: "Sister-in-law Zhang, last night the building of the Jinfu community collapsed, we were not in the same direction as Brother Zhang and the others when we fled, so we were not with Brother Zhang and the others. "
"Falled? There was such a loud noise last night that the building fell down?" Zhang Zhen's face turned pale, her body shook and fell to the ground, and she looked at them with red eyes, "Have you looked for it? None? Don’t you guys know how to fly? Why did you come back without finding anyone?”
Her questioning made both of them feel a little uncomfortable, but they also understood her feelings.
"Susu went back to look for it last night, and we looked around once today, but we didn't find them. They must have escaped further." Qi Jiang came to the fire, trying to calm her down. Don't be so pessimistic.
"Really looked for it?" Zhang Zhen was dubious in her heart, her expression was still pale, as if she didn't quite believe it, "Did you lie to me?"
"I didn't lie to you, we really searched for it several times." Su Qing looked at her sincerely and comforted, "It's calm now, if they are fine, they will definitely come to Jinluo Garden."
Zhang Zhen seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, covered her mouth and nodded heavily, her voice hoarse: "Yes, we still have hope."
Qi Jiang put down the backpack, put the things in the plastic inner bag together with the bag on the ground, propped up the backpack with a few sticks and put it by the fire to roast.
Jin Jin's nest is next to Zhang Zhen. He took the backpack together last night. The little guy is staying in the backpack very quietly at the moment. Su Qing heard it chirp and chirp when Su Qing opened the zipper. Listening makes me hungry.
Zhang Zhen glanced this way, saw that it was a bird, frowned slightly and said nothing.
Su Qing took Jin Jin out to feed her, and did not come back until Jin Jin fell asleep.
They roasted for a while, and Su Qing dried his clothes and the rain on his wings, then stood up and looked for something to do: "Our boat is broken, and we have to make a new one. I'll find some furniture and come and make a boat."
"I'm with you." Qi Jiang also stood up.
Zhang Zhen didn't respond, and it took a few seconds before she came back to her senses: "I'm coming too."
Su Qing and the two hesitated to speak, Zhang Zhen tugged at her mouth when she saw this, but failed to laugh.
Seeing that she was still depressed, Qi Jiang and Su Qing wanted her to rest first, but they also thought that this would divert her attention, and maybe Mrs. Zhang would cheer up a little, so they didn't say anything.
The three of them moved all the things they could use in the building together. The situation here is similar to that of the Jinfu Community before. There are no useful materials left, but there are quite a few broken furniture, especially all kinds of leather furniture and fabric furniture. , but most of the wood inside has been taken away.
Until the earthquake came, they didn't find too much wood, and their teammates didn't come back.
Su Qing leaned against the door to rest, looked at the few logs in the house, and coughed twice from exhaustion: "How about we make a raft? I feel like this has a chance."
"We don't have the right tools to make a boat. The water leakage of the boat is troublesome, but the raft is relatively simple. Why don't we do this." Zhang Zhen also agreed with this idea.
"I'm afraid it's not easy to move the raft in this weather." Qi Jiang shook his head slightly, "Let's see how much wood there is then."
Hearing this, both Su Qing and Zhang Zhen nodded in agreement, and they rested for a while before continuing to move things downstairs.
When walking down the stairwell, Qi Jiang keenly heard some small sounds, as if something was splashing on the water.
Whoa!Whoa!Whoa!
Su Qing walked a few steps and found that Qi Jiang's footsteps had slowed down, so he came over with a lantern and asked, "Brother Jiang, what's the matter?"
"listen……"
What are you listening to?
Su Qing pricked up his ears, and finally understood what Qi Jiang asked him to listen to after 2 minutes, but the voice was very weak, and he was not sure.
Zhang Zhen on the side didn't know why, her first reaction was whether she was in danger again, she held her breath and asked worriedly: "Xiao Qi, Xiao Su, you..."
"Shh~"
Su Qing stretched out a finger between her lips, shook her head slightly towards Zhang Zhen, and listened carefully for another 2 minutes, and found that the voice was getting farther and farther away from them, and it became more and more blurred, and the direction was not from their side.
The sound of the water sounds a bit like the sound of people swimming on the water surface, but if it is a person, there are so many bugs on the water surface, and it is impossible to swim on the water surface without the fire-type beast pill.
Even with the Fire Element Beast Pill, it was difficult to swim on the surface of the water, because the waves would block the movement of the bugs to dodge, and it would take a certain amount of time for the bugs to disperse, and swimming in it would not be as smooth as they heard.
Having said that, Su Qing is still willing to think about the good: "Brother Jiang, why do I feel like I heard the sound of water splashing? Is it them? Is it lost?"
"You said they're here?" Zhang Zhen asked in surprise, her voice almost shouted out of excitement.
Su Qing was taken aback by her sudden raised voice, fearing that she would be disappointed, she shook her head uncertainly: "Not sure."
"Then fly over and have a look!" Zhang Zhen said anxiously.
Qi Jiang subconsciously frowned, feeling more uncomfortable in his heart. He could understand Mrs. Zhang's anxiety, so he explained patiently: "The voice is more than two kilometers away from us, and Su Sufei can't be that far away. Tonight's peaceful time has passed. It's so windy and windy outside, he's not physically strong enough to swim, so wait a little longer."
"But it's only two kilometers, and Xiao Su was able to fly me here last night." Zhang Zhen was very anxious, and she was a little unscrupulous, "And if it wasn't for Xiao Su who asked us to continue walking last night, maybe..."
"Sister-in-law Zhang." Su Qing's expression turned cold instantly, "Speak carefully."
He went upstairs with the lantern, and all the expressions on Qi Jiang's face disappeared. It was at this time that they realized that Zhang Zhen actually blamed Su Qing in her heart.
Zhang Zhen also realized that she had said the wrong thing. She didn't have the fire element beast pill, and she chased after her with a embarrassed expression: "Xiao Su, I'm sorry, I just said the wrong thing because I was too excited."
"Sister-in-law Zhang knows what she said right." Su Qing stopped and looked back at Zhang Zhen. His voice was very cold. He couldn't rub the sand in his eyes. Listen again, "First of all, since Tianbiyuan, you have volunteered to go with us. We have made it very clear about the pros and cons before we set off. We are not responsible for anyone's safety. I have done my best along the way. , is worthy of your trust, and has never done anything sorry for you. Secondly, I understand that you are worried about your husband, but please think about who brought you here last night so that you don’t have to face the danger. Finally, I help It is your duty to not help you, not to mention that I am too weak to get over now, even if I can get over it, I have the right to refuse you, Mrs. Zhang is ten years older than me, this makes no sense Don't you understand?"
Zhang Zhen's face was turned green and pale by what he said, and she hesitated to speak, as if she wanted to explain, but Su Qing and Qi Jiang didn't need her explanation, they just made it clear.
"We're also worried about Brother Chen and the others. As I said just now, Susu is exhausted, so she should wait until she passes instead of not passing through." Qi Jiang added expressionlessly from the side, slowly revealing a sneer, "Sister-in-law Zhang is worried about herself. Husband, am I not worried about Susu?"
"It's not that she doesn't understand, she's just pretending not to understand, it's because we've been so easy to talk these days, we think we've cooperated well, and it's worth talking to each other after going through the wind and rain together, but some people are really not worth it." Su Qing turned and continued upstairs , "Brother Jiang, let's go."
Su Qing didn't have much energy, and he didn't take much rest just now to carry things, but now he was really angry, and felt a little upset when he walked up the first floor, and he couldn't climb the stairs himself, so he asked Qi Jiang to carry him up.
Even though there was trouble with Zhang Zhen, Su Qing would not give up hope. When he came to the top floor, he took out a loudspeaker, turned it to the maximum volume and opened the windows to let the sound out.
Qi Jiang sat down beside the fire with him, and when they saw Zhang Zhen coming in from the door, the two of them just glanced at each other and continued to warm up.
At the same time, they were also paying attention to the sound of the splashing water, and found that the sound was approaching them. As time went by, they also heard several familiar voices encouraging each other.
"Hurry up, hurry up, it's almost there."
"I'm exhausted. This black-and-white guy can't even tell the direction. I don't know how many times he swam wrong."
"Finally able to reunite with teammates hahaha, this must be the idea of Xiao Qi and Xiao Su."
"Stop talking, okay? You're not tired!"
"I got it, I got it, little gold and little silver, if you breathe fire again, the bugs will gather again."
As the distance between the two sides narrowed, Su Qing and the others heard how many people were in the water, exactly six, and none of them fell.
It sounds like Xiaojin and Xiaoyin have new abilities, which also allow Brother Chen and the others to swim safely in the water without the fire element beast pill.
The teammates are safe and sound, and Qi Jiang and Su Qing are also happy for them, but they are not as happy as expected.
Because of what happened just now, both Qi Jiang and Qi Jiang understand that people are selfish. As long as the world doesn't change for the better, everyone will become more and more selfish in the future. The only thing they can trust is each other.
This world is difficult, and only by supporting each other can we live better. Seeing that everyone has a good personality, the two of them want to develop everyone into partners who can be handed over to life and death, so they will tell everyone about the silver scales. At that time, Su Qing also wanted to try his best to transfer more teammates out.
But it was Zhang Zhen, the only one Su Qing transferred away, who gave them a resounding slap, telling them that not everyone who had been through adversity could be trusted, it was really ironic to think about it.
It is said that Shengmi is kind and Michou, they have been kind to several teammates along the way, but now they don't know whether they appreciate it or not.Today it was Zhang Zhen who was dissatisfied with them because of the mutant fish, and maybe other people would be dissatisfied with them because of other things in the future.
People are so close to each other, Zhang Zhen got along well with them before, and she was grateful and respectful to them on weekdays, but she complained about them after the accident, who knows what is hidden under the grateful faces of other people now?
This time, Qi Jiang and Su Qing really misjudged, and they were really overwhelmed, and they also accepted the idea of developing a life-and-death partner.
Zhang Zhen was sitting opposite them, separated from them by a fire, she had a hearing loss, and now she heard the movement outside, excitedly walked to the window, and saw a flash of fire not far away, She hesitated for two seconds before walking back.
"Xiaoqi, um, let's meet everyone."
Her expression was a little disturbed, Qi Jiang nodded slightly and stood up: "Susu, sit down first, I'll go down to pick up Brother Chen and the others."
Su Qing hummed and watched them leave.
Zhang Zhen had an embarrassed expression all the way down, and wanted to explain several times, but Qi Jiang didn't want to be intimidated again, and every time Zhang Zhen wanted to speak, he stopped him.
When Qi Jiang and the others came downstairs, Brother Chen and the others happened to swim nearby.
"Brother Chen! This way!" Qi Jiang shouted loudly.
Zhang Zhen on the side also stood in front of the window excitedly: "Husband! Husband! This way!"
Qian Qianyin spat out two mouthfuls of fire, and all the bugs within 50 meters of him scattered, which was more effective than the fire-type beast pill.
The fire illuminated the road ahead, and everyone swam towards the window one after another. Qi Jiang and Zhang Zhen also pulled everyone in the water ashore one by one.
As soon as Zhang Congshan came up, Zhang Zhen went up and hugged her: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
Everyone panted and teased the two of them kindly, Zhang Congshan said in a low voice with some embarrassment: "Everyone is here."
Brother Chen chuckled and joked a few words when he found out that Su Qing was not there, he felt a little bit in his heart: "Brother Qi, where is Xiao Su?"
"Upstairs, let's go up first." Qi Jiang walked ahead first.
"I just said they'll be fine." Sister Fang breathed a sigh of relief, "But Xiaosu didn't get sick after soaking in water, right?"
"No."
His tone was colder than before. The others had just landed and they were excited, so Zhang Zhen didn't notice the difference, but Zhang Zhen shrank back into Zhang Congshan's arms with a guilty conscience.
Everyone went upstairs together, and when they entered the room, Su Qing got up and congratulated everyone on their safe return, and everyone felt very lucky.
Everyone gathered around the fire to warm up. Su Qing heard their stomachs growling, so she brought a bag of biscuits from the corner: "Eat something."
Brother Chen recognized some of them as biscuits from his family, and was a little surprised: "Did you take something to eat?"
"I thought I would have to go hungry for a few more days." Qian Cai also breathed a sigh of relief, and took a few bags into his bosom unceremoniously, and gave each of his sons a bag.
Everyone subconsciously surrounded the food and stuffed things into their mouths one after another. They squatted by the fire and gorged themselves as if they had finally come to life.
"Soaked in water overnight, there is not much to eat, that's all that's left." Su Qing shook her head with a sigh.
Everyone stopped eating, and subconsciously looked at the only layer of biscuits left in the bag. Their mood became a little heavy, and their eating movements were much slower.
They each ate four or five bags of compressed biscuits, and finally their stomachs stopped growling, and the food in the bag was reduced by two-thirds.
There were still nine of them, and the remaining biscuits were divided into three or four bags by each person.
Everyone had been hungry for a whole day, and the amount of exercise was still so much. Now they can't eat enough, and the boat is gone. The last 11 kilometers suddenly became a natural moat that was difficult to cross.
Brother Chen pressed his stomach, sighed slightly, and sat down with Sister Fang back to the position before eating just now.
When he no longer had the feeling of being hungry and flustered, he finally noticed the wood on the side: "What is this pile of wood used for? Is it removed from the furniture?"
"We want to try to build a new boat." Qi Jiang explained, "There are still three or four floors of furniture that have not been demolished. There must be not enough wood. Maybe we need to make a raft."
"It's not easy." Qian Cai felt that the situation was very pessimistic. "The raft can't withstand the wind and rain, and we don't have the strength to row."
"Then we can only swim across." Su Qing answered from the side.
Everyone was silent for a while. Swimming is not an easy thing. How can you swim if you don't have enough food and no strength to travel [-] kilometers?
But there is only a little way left, so why not just stop?
Everyone looked at each other, feeling very unwilling.
This matter could not be discussed for the time being, so everyone changed the subject to understand what happened after the two parties were out of danger last night.
Sister Fang and the others found the mutated fish passing them in the middle of their run. At first they thought they were dying, but who knew that the mutated fish didn't even look at them.
Because Su Qing's body emitted blue light when he mutated, they knew that Qian Qianyin hadn't come out of the building, so they went back to find people when they saw fewer people. Went in the other direction.
They experienced a series of tragic experiences such as being bitten by insects and almost being buried alive. They were afraid of suffocation caused by being buried alive by insects. .
Of course, being bitten is unavoidable, but it is not enough to be buried alive.
After a long time, everyone couldn't hold on anymore, the water was vast, they didn't know the direction, and they became more and more tired.
Qiancai was the oldest, and was the first to be unable to hold on. When he was suffocated, Qianqianyin, who was in a hurry, suddenly burst into flames. The insects retreated, and Qiancai was able to take a breath. They also faintly saw the nearby buildings due to the firelight, so they went ashore to rest up.
The few people waited until the night when the weather was calm, and they found a general direction to swim towards the Jinluo Garden. As a result, the direction had deviated several times, and they didn't realize it until they got ashore.
When the earthquake struck, they wanted to go ashore quickly and give up searching, but Qian Cai suddenly discovered the existence of the loudspeaker. Otherwise, they might have to continue to toss tomorrow night, and they might not have the strength by then.
As for Su Qing and the others, it was much simpler. Su Qing was able to see at night and successfully mutated again, so he chose the nearest building.
Hearing that Su Qing went out to find them at night at risk, everyone was very moved, while Su Qing and Qi Jiang looked at them indistinctly by the light of the fire.
They didn't talk for a long time, everyone was tired, and they simply went to sleep when they saw their stomachs growling again later.
The next day, after getting up, everyone shared a bag of biscuits to comfort themselves, which can also cushion their stomachs. After breakfast, they discussed what to do next.
"Swimming is definitely not enough. Our physical strength is not as good as yesterday. Why don't we make rafts? Even if we have no strength, as long as we can hold the boat, we can go forward no matter what happens with the wind." Brother Chen suggested.
"I think so too. A raft is safer than swimming by ourselves." Qian Cai nodded in agreement.
Zhang Congshan never expresses his opinions, and money, money and silver are always what the adults say and what they do, but in the final analysis, it is Su Qing and Qi Jiang who make the decisions in this team, and everyone looks at them.
Qi Jiang and Su Qing looked at each other, and said in unison, "Just decide."
They can actually go straight tonight, whether they fly over or swim, it is much faster than walking with everyone.
But since everyone came out together, the two of them can be regarded as decision makers, and they can't just let go of one thing, but in general, they are not as dedicated as before.
Brother Chen and the others didn't realize this, so when they saw them nodding, they started to discuss how to make the raft, and when they came up with some results, they asked Qi Jiang for their opinion, and continued after they nodded.
It is much easier to make a raft than a boat, but the wood of the furniture is too light and the load-bearing capacity is not enough, so they have to find some more buoyant things.
Soon, everyone dived into the water and looked for suitable tools on the floors below, such as empty bottles, foam boards, etc., and brought them up as long as they were suitable.
Qi Jiang can't get into the water yet, so he won't go down with everyone. They don't know where they are going. Su Qing couldn't find it before. Now he has to rely on his memory to draw a new one, so he won't go into the water.
After he finished drawing the map, he took Qi Jiang to find useful objects nearby. Among the nine, he was the only one who could fly, and it was also convenient to find things in nearby buildings.
The first thing Su Qing did when he came out was to find a room that looked fairly clean, and put a few lunch boxes on the floor to have extra meals with Qi Jiang.
After Su Qing finished eating, he took out two catties of minced meat from the space and fed it to Jin Jin. While feeding, he looked at the rain outside and sighed slightly: "I don't know if two days is enough."
"Enough, just two days." Qi Jiang gently shook his head, "The food won't last long, and they will have no strength on the third day."
Therefore, everyone will definitely arrive at the shelter within two days.
"I hope the situation in the new home can be better, and I also hope that the rain will stop earlier, so that we can move to Fengwai Mountain earlier, and maybe we can settle down in this way." Su Qing felt that they had moved too many times.
Qi Jiang also sincerely hoped, "Yes."
Qi Jiang also wanted to go, he felt that he was already well, running and jumping was fine, Su Qing thought so when he saw that his movements were relaxed, but when Qi Jiang really got into the water, he found that his waist was still aching when he was swimming, and his movements were too big. Cold sweat broke out at one o'clock, and the resistance of his body made him realize that he was still unable to cope with the turbulent undercurrent in the water, and in the end he could only let Su Qing go alone.
Everyone's backpacks have plastic inner bags, but after being soaked overnight in dirty water, many things are unusable.

"Then fly over and have a look!" Zhang Zhen said anxiously.

"Sister-in-law Zhang." Su Qing's expression turned cold instantly, "Speak carefully."
He went upstairs with the lantern, and all the expressions on Qi Jiang's face disappeared. It was at this time that they realized that Zhang Zhen actually blamed Su Qing in her heart.
Zhang Zhen also realized that she had said the wrong thing. She didn't have the fire element beast pill, and she chased after her with a embarrassed expression: "Xiao Su, I'm sorry, I just said the wrong thing because I was too excited."
"Sister-in-law Zhang knows what she said right." Su Qing stopped and looked back at Zhang Zhen. His voice was very cold. He couldn't rub the sand in his eyes. Listen again, "First of all, since Tianbiyuan, you have volunteered to go with us. We have made it very clear about the pros and cons before we set off. We are not responsible for anyone's safety. I have done my best along the way. , is worthy of your trust, and has never done anything sorry for you. Secondly, I understand that you are worried about your husband, but please think about who brought you here last night so that you don’t have to face the danger. Finally, I help It is your duty to not help you, not to mention that I am too weak to get over now, even if I can get over it, I have the right to refuse you, Mrs. Zhang is ten years older than me, this makes no sense Don't you understand?"
Zhang Zhen's face was turned green and pale by what he said, and she hesitated to speak, as if she wanted to explain, but Su Qing and Qi Jiang didn't need her explanation, they just made it clear.
"We're also worried about Brother Chen and the others. As I said just now, Susu is exhausted, so she should wait until she passes instead of not passing through." Qi Jiang added expressionlessly from the side, slowly revealing a sneer, "Sister-in-law Zhang is worried about herself. Husband, am I not worried about Susu?"
"It's not that she doesn't understand, she's just pretending not to understand, it's because we've been so easy to talk these days, we think we've cooperated well, and it's worth talking to each other after going through the wind and rain together, but some people are really not worth it." Su Qing turned and continued upstairs , "Brother Jiang, let's go."
Su Qing didn't have much energy, and he didn't take much rest just now to carry things, but now he was really angry, and felt a little upset when he walked up the first floor, and he couldn't climb the stairs himself, so he asked Qi Jiang to carry him up.
Even though there was trouble with Zhang Zhen, Su Qing would not give up hope. When he came to the top floor, he took out a loudspeaker, turned it to the maximum volume and opened the windows to let the sound out.
Qi Jiang sat down beside the fire with him, and when they saw Zhang Zhen coming in from the door, the two of them just glanced at each other and continued to warm up.
At the same time, they were also paying attention to the sound of the splashing water, and found that the sound was approaching them. As time went by, they also heard several familiar voices encouraging each other.
"Hurry up, hurry up, it's almost there."
"I'm exhausted. This black-and-white guy can't even tell the direction. I don't know how many times he swam wrong."
"Finally able to reunite with teammates hahaha, this must be the idea of Xiao Qi and Xiao Su."
"Stop talking, okay? You're not tired!"
"I got it, I got it, little gold and little silver, if you breathe fire again, the bugs will gather again."
As the distance between the two sides narrowed, Su Qing and the others heard how many people were in the water, exactly six, and none of them fell.
It sounds like Xiaojin and Xiaoyin have new abilities, which also allow Brother Chen and the others to swim safely in the water without the fire element beast pill.
The teammates are safe and sound, and Qi Jiang and Su Qing are also happy for them, but they are not as happy as expected.
Because of what happened just now, both Qi Jiang and Qi Jiang understand that people are selfish. As long as the world doesn't change for the better, everyone will become more and more selfish in the future. The only thing they can trust is each other.
This world is difficult, and only by supporting each other can we live better. Seeing that everyone has a good personality, the two of them want to develop everyone into partners who can be handed over to life and death, so they will tell everyone about the silver scales. At that time, Su Qing also wanted to try his best to transfer more teammates out.
But it was Zhang Zhen, the only one Su Qing transferred away, who gave them a resounding slap, telling them that not everyone who had been through adversity could be trusted, it was really ironic to think about it.
It is said that Shengmi is kind and Michou, they have been kind to several teammates along the way, but now they don't know whether they appreciate it or not.Today it was Zhang Zhen who was dissatisfied with them because of the mutant fish, and maybe other people would be dissatisfied with them because of other things in the future.
People are so close to each other, Zhang Zhen got along well with them before, and she was grateful and respectful to them on weekdays, but she complained about them after the accident, who knows what is hidden under the grateful faces of other people now?
This time, Qi Jiang and Su Qing really misjudged, and they were really overwhelmed, and they also accepted the idea of developing a life-and-death partner.
Zhang Zhen was sitting opposite them, separated from them by a fire, she had a hearing loss, and now she heard the movement outside, excitedly walked to the window, and saw a flash of fire not far away, She hesitated for two seconds before walking back.
"Xiaoqi, um, let's meet everyone."
Her expression was a little disturbed, Qi Jiang nodded slightly and stood up: "Susu, sit down first, I'll go down to pick up Brother Chen and the others."
Su Qing hummed and watched them leave.
Zhang Zhen had an embarrassed expression all the way down, and wanted to explain several times, but Qi Jiang didn't want to be intimidated again, and every time Zhang Zhen wanted to speak, he stopped him.
When Qi Jiang and the others came downstairs, Brother Chen and the others happened to swim nearby.
"Brother Chen! This way!" Qi Jiang shouted loudly.
Zhang Zhen on the side also stood in front of the window excitedly: "Husband! Husband! This way!"
Qian Qianyin spat out two mouthfuls of fire, and all the bugs within 50 meters of him scattered, which was more effective than the fire-type beast pill.
The fire illuminated the road ahead, and everyone swam towards the window one after another. Qi Jiang and Zhang Zhen also pulled everyone in the water ashore one by one.
As soon as Zhang Congshan came up, Zhang Zhen went up and hugged her: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
Everyone panted and teased the two of them kindly, Zhang Congshan said in a low voice with some embarrassment: "Everyone is here."
Brother Chen chuckled and joked a few words when he found out that Su Qing was not there, he felt a little bit in his heart: "Brother Qi, where is Xiao Su?"
"Upstairs, let's go up first." Qi Jiang walked ahead first.
"I just said they'll be fine." Sister Fang breathed a sigh of relief, "But Xiaosu didn't get sick after soaking in water, right?"
"No."
His tone was colder than before. The others had just landed and they were excited, so Zhang Zhen didn't notice the difference, but Zhang Zhen shrank back into Zhang Congshan's arms with a guilty conscience.
Everyone went upstairs together, and when they entered the room, Su Qing got up and congratulated everyone on their safe return, and everyone felt very lucky.
Everyone gathered around the fire to warm up. Su Qing heard their stomachs growling, so she brought a bag of biscuits from the corner: "Eat something."
Brother Chen recognized some of them as biscuits from his family, and was a little surprised: "Did you take something to eat?"
"I thought I would have to go hungry for a few more days." Qian Cai also breathed a sigh of relief, and took a few bags into his bosom unceremoniously, and gave each of his sons a bag.
Everyone subconsciously surrounded the food and stuffed things into their mouths one after another. They squatted by the fire and gorged themselves as if they had finally come to life.
"Soaked in water overnight, there is not much to eat, that's all that's left." Su Qing shook her head with a sigh.
Everyone stopped eating, and subconsciously looked at the only layer of biscuits left in the bag. Their mood became a little heavy, and their eating movements were much slower.
They each ate four or five bags of compressed biscuits, and finally their stomachs stopped growling, and the food in the bag was reduced by two-thirds.
There were still nine of them, and the remaining biscuits were divided into three or four bags by each person.
Everyone had been hungry for a whole day, and the amount of exercise was still so much. Now they can't eat enough, and the boat is gone. The last 11 kilometers suddenly became a natural moat that was difficult to cross.
Brother Chen pressed his stomach, sighed slightly, and sat down with Sister Fang back to the position before eating just now.
When he no longer had the feeling of being hungry and flustered, he finally noticed the wood on the side: "What is this pile of wood used for? Is it removed from the furniture?"
"We want to try to build a new boat." Qi Jiang explained, "There are still three or four floors of furniture that have not been demolished. There must be not enough wood. Maybe we need to make a raft."
"It's not easy." Qian Cai felt that the situation was very pessimistic. "The raft can't withstand the wind and rain, and we don't have the strength to row."
"Then we can only swim across." Su Qing answered from the side.
Everyone was silent for a while. Swimming is not an easy thing. How can you swim if you don't have enough food and no strength to travel [-] kilometers?
But there is only a little way left, so why not just stop?
Everyone looked at each other, feeling very unwilling.
This matter could not be discussed for the time being, so everyone changed the subject to understand what happened after the two parties were out of danger last night.
Sister Fang and the others found the mutated fish passing them in the middle of their run. At first they thought they were dying, but who knew that the mutated fish didn't even look at them.
Because Su Qing's body emitted blue light when he mutated, they knew that Qian Qianyin hadn't come out of the building, so they went back to find people when they saw fewer people. Went in the other direction.
They experienced a series of tragic experiences such as being bitten by insects and almost being buried alive. They were afraid of suffocation caused by being buried alive by insects. .
Of course, being bitten is unavoidable, but it is not enough to be buried alive.
After a long time, everyone couldn't hold on anymore, the water was vast, they didn't know the direction, and they became more and more tired.
Qiancai was the oldest, and was the first to be unable to hold on. When he was suffocated, Qianqianyin, who was in a hurry, suddenly burst into flames. The insects retreated, and Qiancai was able to take a breath. They also faintly saw the nearby buildings due to the firelight, so they went ashore to rest up.
The few people waited until the night when the weather was calm, and they found a general direction to swim towards the Jinluo Garden. As a result, the direction had deviated several times, and they didn't realize it until they got ashore.
When the earthquake struck, they wanted to go ashore quickly and give up searching, but Qian Cai suddenly discovered the existence of the loudspeaker. Otherwise, they might have to continue to toss tomorrow night, and they might not have the strength by then.
As for Su Qing and the others, it was much simpler. Su Qing was able to see at night and successfully mutated again, so he chose the nearest building.
Hearing that Su Qing went out to find them at night at risk, everyone was very moved, while Su Qing and Qi Jiang looked at them indistinctly by the light of the fire.
They didn't talk for a long time, everyone was tired, and they simply went to sleep when they saw their stomachs growling again later.
The next day, after getting up, everyone shared a bag of biscuits to comfort themselves, which can also cushion their stomachs. After breakfast, they discussed what to do next.
"Swimming is definitely not enough. Our physical strength is not as good as yesterday. Why don't we make rafts? Even if we have no strength, as long as we can hold the boat, we can go forward no matter what happens with the wind." Brother Chen suggested.
"I think so too. A raft is safer than swimming by ourselves." Qian Cai nodded in agreement.
Zhang Congshan never expresses his opinions, and money, money and silver are always what the adults say and what they do, but in the final analysis, it is Su Qing and Qi Jiang who make the decisions in this team, and everyone looks at them.
Qi Jiang and Su Qing looked at each other, and said in unison, "Just decide."
They can actually go straight tonight, whether they fly over or swim, it is much faster than walking with everyone.
But since everyone came out together, the two of them can be regarded as decision makers, and they can't just let go of one thing, but in general, they are not as dedicated as before.
Brother Chen and the others didn't realize this, so when they saw them nodding, they started to discuss how to make the raft, and when they came up with some results, they asked Qi Jiang for their opinion, and continued after they nodded.
It is much easier to make a raft than a boat, but the wood of the furniture is too light and the load-bearing capacity is not enough, so they have to find some more buoyant things.
Soon, everyone dived into the water and looked for suitable tools on the floors below, such as empty bottles, foam boards, etc., and brought them up as long as they were suitable.
Qi Jiang can't get into the water yet, so he won't go down with everyone. They don't know where they are going. Su Qing couldn't find it before. Now he has to rely on his memory to draw a new one, so he won't go into the water.
After he finished drawing the map, he took Qi Jiang to find useful objects nearby. Among the nine, he was the only one who could fly, and it was also convenient to find things in nearby buildings.
The first thing Su Qing did when he came out was to find a room that looked fairly clean, and put a few lunch boxes on the floor to have extra meals with Qi Jiang.
After Su Qing finished eating, he took out two catties of minced meat from the space and fed it to Jin Jin. While feeding, he looked at the rain outside and sighed slightly: "I don't know if two days is enough."
"Enough, just two days." Qi Jiang gently shook his head, "The food won't last long, and they will have no strength on the third day."
Therefore, everyone will definitely arrive at the shelter within two days.
"I hope the situation in the new home can be better, and I also hope that the rain will stop earlier, so that we can move to Fengwai Mountain earlier, and maybe we can settle down in this way." Su Qing felt that they had moved too many times.
Qi Jiang also sincerely hoped, "Yes."
