Chapter 321: Armed Force Supremacy(1/2)

The genuine ordering ratio is insufficient and you can't read the latest chapter. You can only make up for the ratio to see them. They all signed up for the parachutes on the sea. The first person to find that the sea surface was Yuan Ning. She was flying in mid-air at that time, with a clear vision.

When the tsunami attacked L Island yesterday, it rolled up huge waves dozens of meters high. But when passing through this sea area, the waves were only five or six meters high. Yuan Ning immediately shouted, wanting the people on the speedboat to collect the umbrella, but the people below did not hear it, nor did they notice the waves in the distance.

Yuan Ning made a quick decision, unbuttoned the parachute safety buckle and jumped directly into the sea. When she fell into the water, the angle was slightly deviated, and her arm was injured and dislocated. The people on the speedboat found that she fell into the water and immediately retreated to rescue her.

She endured the severe pain and immediately asked the speedboat driver to adjust his direction and headed for full speed towards the tsunami.

At that time, in addition to the driver who drove the boat, there was also a local coach who assisted in parachute work, and seven or eight tourists waiting to play parachutes.

Yuan Ning's move made everyone confused. In addition, the people of L Island are not proficient in international language and the troubles caused by communication. The inquiries of all kinds have been delayed for a while.

In the end, Yuan Ning knocked the coach out and grabbed the driver to the driving area. She forced the other party to assist her by force. She drove the boat.

Yuan Ning has received various training and can also drive the speedboat. After getting familiar with it, she immediately turns the bow and rushes toward the tsunami at full speed.

The speedboat driver was stunned for a moment before he noticed the abnormality in the sea ahead. He was so scared that he screamed in panic. Then he rolled and crawled to the contact radio behind and notified the staff on the floating platform at sea to let everyone evacuate immediately.

However, in the crisis, how many people can deal with it calmly like Yuan Ning?

Xiaolu was on the speedboat driven by Yuan Ning at that time. She, Fang Zichen and a female colleague named Mangmang were planning to play the sea parachute.

At first she thought Yuan Ning was a psychopath or an anti-socialist and was preparing to commit suicide. As a result, when she learned about the tsunami, she was scared to death and grabbed Zichen next to her and looked at the people in the sea in front of her.

The sea levitation platform is large and can accommodate more than 100 people. It has a sun-shaded ceiling, a simple shower and locker room, and a service desk.

There are many offshore projects around: banana boats, snorkeling, motorboats, offshore parachutes…

As their yachts rush towards the tsunami at an angle of incline, those who were still trapped in the sea could only scream hopelessly.

Some people rode a motorboat and wanted to rush through the tsunami like them, but they were overturned by the waves when they were only halfway through; some people were hanging in the air and cried helplessly, but as the speedboat below turned over, the man was dragged into the sea and disappeared in an instant, as the sea floating platform was overturned and broken, and the man was like fragile building blocks, scattered and swallowed as the floating platform collapsed.

When did you see such a scene in peacetime? It seems like you are in hell on earth?

There were screams all around them, and even the speedboat driver on their speedboat who used a walkie-talkie to warn him was thrown out by the bumpy speedboat because he did not hold on to the hull.

Yuan Ning was injured by her right hand and could not completely fix her body. When she fell, she was stabbed by a sharp object on her waist.

"...We rushed through the tsunami and came back. There was nothing left on the sea. Li Hui, Zhang Yuan... Everyone was gone... only the three of us were left."

On the sofa in an empty room on the fifth floor, Fang Zichen lay there, his face pale and haggard because of blood loss and fear of being scared at the sea for a night.

He thought You Xi, like other colleagues, had died in the tsunami. Now, seeing her standing in front of him, he was in a state of excitement and emotion. The other party stood there, looking at him with a quiet look like every time in the past. This feeling made him familiar and at ease.

He reached out and held her hand: "It's so good to see you're fine, so good... You don't know, when the tsunami came yesterday, I..." At this point, his voice choked up.

"Zi Chen!" Meng Lu rushed forward and stroked his face worriedly, "You are still hurt, don't be too excited. Xixi is fine, I am fine, you are fine, we are fine, we are all fine!"

Mangmang, who was sitting aside, heard it and moved his lips, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Meng Lu's movements invisibly squeezed away You Xi, who was originally standing next to the sofa. She raised her eyebrows. Didn't the other party say yesterday that he didn't like him and just treat him as a friend? Today, he swears sovereignty?

The water outside was almost flooded with four floors, and she had no time to continue to mix up in the bloody relationship between men and women, so she directly pointed out: "Xiaolu, are you and Zichen together?"

"Xixi?" Xiaolu turned around with a look of embarrassment and worry, "I..."

"Don't be so scared." You Xi smiled at her, "It's great that you can be together. It's really good to communicate with each other when disaster strikes. I wish you all the best."

"You Xi!" Fang Zichen looked at her in shock, as if he couldn't believe that she had said such words.

Even Meng Lu was full of surprise. After all, she was the only one in the world who knew how much You Xi liked Zichen. She looked suspicious: "Xi Xi, you..."

She originally wanted to ask you what was wrong, but when she thought of the excitement and joy that Fang Zichen had just seen her alive, she changed her words to her, "Xixi, do you have water? We haven't eaten anything from yesterday afternoon until now..."

After the tsunami, there was another sudden heavy rain. Yuan Ning didn't dare to return to the sea under such circumstances and decided to stay on the sea for the time being, but this stayed for the whole night.

The speedboat was provided for tourists to play parachutes at sea. They searched all the boats and only found three bottles of half-drink water, a few packs of biscuits, and half a bucket of spare oil.

In addition to the original eight or nine people, they later saved a few people. The things were not enough to divide them, and most of them were provided to Yuan Ning because she was the only one who could drive the speedboat and identify the direction.

The disaster was discovered too suddenly, and no one was prepared, clothes, food, water... all the way to the hotel, everything around was swept away by a tsunami.

She didn't think it was before, but now she was in a safe room, and her throat felt dry and hoarse and her stomach felt aching.

But after opening her mouth, Meng Lu suddenly felt a heat on her cheeks. In the past, she had always been the dominant party when she got along with her, confident and free and easy. Now she spoke like this, as if she was begging for the other party...

She was not used to asking You Xi for such a humble manner - especially at this moment, she was tired, hungry, thirsty, and her hair was disheveled, and she was in a mess. Ye Xi, who was standing in front of her, was dressed dry and neat, with a rosy and calm face, completely avoiding yesterday's disaster.

This gap made her feel strange in her heart for the first time. She didn't like this feeling very much, and subconsciously wanted to show her closeness to Zichen in front of the other side.

You Xi glanced at her, took off her backpack, opened it directly, took a bag of bread, three pieces of chocolate and two bottles of 500 ml of water, ignored the other party's eyes that were still looking into her bag, put the things on the coffee table, and looked at Mangmang: "I have only this, you can put the pads first, the hotel should still be distributing breakfast now, you can ask the hotel staff later."

Mangmang is a staff member in another office and is not very familiar with them. She is a fresh graduate and is only 21 years old.

He was probably hungry now. He looked at Fang Zichen and asked him in a slim voice: "Brother Fang, can I eat some bread?"

The bag of bread was quite big, with seven or eight carrot meal bags inside. The outer crust was roasted yellow on the upper part, and the lower part was snow-white and covered with carrot crumbs. It looked delicious.

"Of course, you're hungry, eat it quickly, you can also get one chocolate." Fang Zichen said in a kind tone.

When the two of them lowered their heads to untie the bread, Xiaolu looked down at the slender figure and her face looked a little ugly.

She asked for this thing, and it was not enough for her and Fang Zichen to eat. But there was also a bottle of oil that could be eaten without making anything. Why?

After giving the food, You Xi packed it back and planned to leave.

"Xixi, where are you going? Aren't you with us?" Fang Zichen noticed her movements and suddenly became anxious, even thinking of getting up to pull her.

"I'll go see my friend." She didn't explain much, but turned around and saw a young man standing at the door of the room carrying a medicine box.

In order to facilitate the rescue of people, the door of the room on the fifth floor has been open in recent years. She didn't know how long he had been standing, how much he saw and how much he heard.

Although she didn't care about these things, she didn't like the feeling of being peeped. She glanced at him and walked out directly.

"I'm here to bandage." Lin Wu explained to her, and saw her stop looking at her, and reached out to her, "Hello, I'm Lin Wu."

"You Xi." She shook hands with him.

"I know you, I heard Siman speak you very well in the local language."

"It's OK, I can communicate."

"Do you have time to wait? I want to ask for help if you have something."

"Can I help-" You Xi thought for a moment, "Do you want me to translate?"

"Yes, it's a short-wave radio station that is occasionally transferred." After the tsunami, the phone was cut off, and the phone and the Internet also lost signals in turn. Now L Island is equal to being isolated from the world.

If the sea water receded yesterday, it would have been just an ordinary disaster. But until this morning, the sea water rose instead of retreating. He had some not very good speculations about the few messages he had just received from Yuan Ning.

But these explanations are not convenient to say in the corridor where people come and go, and he only hopes that the other party will not refuse.

You Xi was not stupid. When the other party mentioned the radio and needed translation, she guessed something, so she nodded at him: "Okay, after you finish your work here, go to find me next door."

Yuan Ning was seriously injured and had surgery, so Yuan Qi naturally did not leave with the first batch of rescues. She didn't care at all, so she wanted to listen to Lin Wu's statement before making a decision.

****

Ten minutes later, Lin Wu, who had dealt with Fang Zichen's wound, entered the room where Yuan Ning was: "Wait for two minutes and everyone will arrive soon."

A moment later, several people walked into the room one after another, Fang Zichen, Xiaolu and Mangmang were among them. Another couple brought a fourteen-five-year-old boy. You Xi, a family of three, had seen each other and lived on the same floor. Finally, two young couples came in, who were friends with each other.

"This is all the remaining Beijingers in the hotel at present." Lin Wu explained a few briefly.

These people are in good spirits. Except for Fang Zichen who just arrived at the hotel, no one was injured. In addition, they didn't want to be separated from their families, so they were not arranged to leave in the first batch.

There were fourteen people in total, and they occupied a small room. After everyone came in, Lin Wu ordered the last person to close the door.

On the side, Yuan Ning sat up with Yuan Qi's help. Yuan Qi also placed Yuan Yuan on the bed, and then gave him a picture album, and he started drawing by himself.

Fang Zichen wanted to walk to Youxi, but there were many people in the room. After moving two steps, he had to give up and sat down on the sofa beside him.

Xiaolu held him and sat down next to him first. Seeing this, Mangmang told the family of three that he gave him the position to them, and stood on the other side and leaned against the handrail of the sofa.

"Okay, let me talk about the current situation first, let's talk about the news that Yuan Ning brought." He had previously performed suture surgery on Yuan Ning, but because there was no anesthetic, the other party woke up in pain. In order to divert attention, the two finally started chatting.

Yuan Ning brought about the situation outside the island. After the tsunami subsided, she carefully identified the direction towards the coral island, but nothing was found except for the remaining buildings and debris such as trees.

The entire coral island was gone, not only that, after dawn, when they sailed from near Coral Island to L Island, which was nearly two hours aboard, she did not see any island exposed to the water.

There were originally many small islands with scattered divisions between the two islands, which were not large in size, but now the sea surface is endless, as if it was outside the sea.

"I saw that the water did not recede this morning. I had thought about whether it was because of the terrain. Maybe the water level on the coast had dropped. The terrain here is low, so the sea water is still stockpiling, but now..."

Lin Wu said, her eyes swept across everyone's faces, "Our judgment is that the sea level has risen."

The family of three and two couples were lucky. They didn't go out in the hotel yesterday, so naturally they didn't know what was going on outside. When they heard this, their faces changed a little, and they all looked at Yuan Ning leaning on the bed.

Yuan Ning nodded: "I don't know why, but it's true. There is no road surface at all on L Island now. It took us a lot of time to return to this hotel. When we drove around the boat all the way, we found that almost everyone was heading in the same direction. I looked from a distance and it should be Wanghaishan, which was rescued and transferred."

"Then will we go too?" Xiaolu couldn't help asking.

Yuan Ning looked at Lin Wu and said, "You must go, but you have to tell you something first. In a short period of time, there may be no foreign aid on the island."

"Where did you get the news?" As soon as this sentence came out, almost everyone couldn't help it and asked him about the source of the news and the reasons.

"My phone has built-in AM function," he said, removing the phone.

You Xi understood that because the mobile phone does not have a network signal, APPs with FM function cannot be used, unless the mobile phone has a built-in frequency modulation module.

However, the FM band can only receive local channels. Although the AM propagates far, the signal is unstable. It has been less than 24 hours since the disaster yesterday. Everyone is looking for lost relatives and seeking survival. In this case, very few people can think of using AM signals.

At least she didn't expect it.

Lin Wu used headphones to connect to the phone. After debugging, he handed a headphone to You Xi: "I know a little bit of Hai Mandarin, but the signal of this channel is unstable and the sound is very blurry. I can't be sure, it seems to be playing a loop of some messages."
