August 13, 2076
Under the gray sky, a small boat was traveling slowly on the sea. There were a large number of shipwrecks floating on the sea, as well as some garbage, including the bodies of some people and animals.
The entire sea was covered with garbage, and smoke could still be seen in the distance. It seemed that something had caught fire, and the whole world was in chaos.
Gene was sitting on the bow of the boat holding Ellie, while Werther was at the helm. Tang Rao was lying weakly on the guardrail. She had been seasick for several days. Guyi was lying on the edge of the cabin. His face was pale and his mouth was chapped.
"Have you seen the coast?"
Rose asked feebly. She was lying next to a large bundle of ropes, with her face on the ground. Only Deguna and Werther were energetic, and the others were in very bad physical condition.
They have been drifting at sea for a month. The hull of the ship was attacked on the sea and the power system was broken. Relying on their common sense as scientists, they modified the bottom of the ship and followed the ocean currents to drift over. They could only rely on it every day.
He made a living by fishing and built a simple seawater distillation device to replenish fresh water.
Only in recent days, the number of fish has begun to decrease, and many dead fish are floating on the water, indicating that the ocean has been polluted by something. They concluded that it should be the radiation produced when the asteroid fell, but there is no professional detection around.
The instrument can only detect through glass, and it is true that the seawater has been contaminated by radioactive materials.
In the past few days, they have been trying to reduce the amount of water in the community as much as possible, because contaminated radioactive materials will still remain in the water produced with such crude distillation tools.
Several people had not eaten normal food for almost a week. Their next stop was the southern part of Continent Y. After traveling here from Continent O, the journey was too far, but there was no other way. This was the best place they could find.
Good plan.
It is basically impossible to fly. They originally wanted to go to the space station, but they missed it in the end. When watching the last rocket take off, the eight people were extremely desperate, which meant that they had to go to the space station.
Survive in a world that has been completely destroyed and chaotic.
There is another important reason for not choosing land, because there is an unknown powerful virus spreading, and they have seen too many people die because of the virus.
The lethality of this terrifying virus is something they have never seen before. As a virology expert, Witte said that this virus destroys the human homeostasis maintenance mechanism, thereby destroying all parts of the human body in a short period of time.
Tissue and organ problems may eventually lead to death.
What they need to do now is to find a shelter to survive before the sun disappears completely, but now they have certain differences.
Deguna felt that we should go directly to AS. Due to the geographical location there, there should be many people passing there. It was not too far from the center of the impact, but as long as we ran to the south, we should still be able to live.
Witte believes that they should go to the United States, because people in the United States have had severe disaster paranoia for a long time, so many families have built doomsday fortresses in many places to stock up on food, medical supplies and water. Some coastal cities may have been affected.
, but it should be fine inland.
Although Deguna thinks Witte's suggestion is good, it is impossible to go there with their current equipment. Large ships are basically impossible to find. Even if they are found, they have already been damaged. They can't do anything without the corresponding parts.
Make repairs.
Guyi wanted to find the coast and go to the Dragon Lighthouse along the coast, but this idea was opposed by everyone. Even the Dragon Lighthouse would not be able to survive this disaster unscathed.
Gene and Ellie proposed that it would be safest to go to the highest altitude place in Continent Y, but obviously no one made the final decision.
Such a small boat cannot sail far from the coastline, and they have to disembark at any time to find some supplies for supplies. However, they encountered wind and waves a few days ago. In order to ride on the ocean current again, they drifted at sea for several days before returning again.
In the right ocean current.
Everyone's mood became heavier and heavier. With their professional knowledge in various fields, they had narrowly escaped death several times in four months. Everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before humanity on this planet would perish.
The sun is obscured by dust from the impact of asteroids. This dust floating above the clouds can easily combine with the clouds and become a semi-solid substance, but it is extremely light and floats in the sky. These substances will absorb the sun.
Most of the energy in light.
And looking at the deepening color and coverage of the clouds, including the wind conditions, it is certain that these coverings are constantly spreading, and eventually the entire earth will be obscured by these coverings. Without sunlight, humans will gradually perish after a period of time.
.
Unless they can find a shelter where they can grow crops, they will surely die.
The situation now is very clear. Human society and the country have completely collapsed. After all, four months have passed. Four months is enough for the human society that has completely formed a chain to collapse.
Humans may be able to remedy the collapse of one or two points, but there are points of collapse all over the world, which is unbearable for humans. In the face of nature, humans have no room to fight back.
"How about it be better than Ellie?"
Gene asked gently, Ellie in his arms nodded gently, and Tang Rao looked at the two of them angrily.
"It really pisses me off."
Rose chuckled.
"Hey, what will happen to us in the future? There is a problem with our body functions. It should be a very clear signal. We have been contaminated by radiation."
Gu Yi froze up with difficulty, shook his head and said.
"It's a miracle that I survived, after falling from such a height."
At this time, Deguna, who was standing at the top of the cabin holding a gun, became excited.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Land is seen."
In the distance, there was a light black thing, which was definitely land. Everyone got up with difficulty and started working on a tenacious human propeller they made behind the hull. It required 6 people to step on the bicycle pedals at the same time, and then the boat
You can have motivation.
Now everyone has no strength. This kind of thing is okay when food is abundant, but when food is scarce, it is simply a kind of torture for people.
Witte was at the helm of the boat, and the hull began to move slowly. Li Chu was almost dead. His face was sallow, but he could only pedal hard, because land meant there was fresh water and food. They now saw
should be the coastline of a small country in the southern part of continent Y.
Gradually, the coast in the distance could be seen clearly, and there was a large green forest. Everyone moved forward cautiously, and Deguna laughed.
"Remember, it was probably on this coast before that I kidnapped Ellie."
Jean laughed and nodded, and the light of hope burst out in everyone's eyes.
The ship began to approach little by little, and there was a stench. The sea was full of lari. The woods had begun to wither. There was insufficient sunlight for a long time, and many plants began to turn yellow and black. Not far away was a seaport town.
, there are some broken ships on the pier, and the hulls of the boats are leaning towards the pier.
After a while, the boat finally docked. Everyone worked quickly to secure the boat to the dock and then disembarked. Jean and Deguna held weapons and quickly leaned forward, while the others also held weapons.
Pistols looked around.
In front of her was a dilapidated dock. There was a strong smell after entering, and there were many shriveled corpses. Deguna covered her mouth, ran over, and then rummaged through the pockets of some corpses. She soon found
I had a few packs of cigarettes, but fortunately they were not contaminated.
"Comfortable."
Deguna lit one and blew out a puff of smoke. Jean also lit one. The two came out of the dock and gestured to Guyi and the others to express that they had not found anything.
Soon the group of people entered the town. There were traces of urban chaos and crossfire everywhere. Some of the traces looked very new. Soon they saw a dead human being who looked like charcoal, blackened all over. This was that person.
What this horrible virus will eventually do is that people will turn into charcoal and directly atomize.
Dead people are not contagious at all. Eight people were very sure of this. Li Chu walked up to a painful person with his hands raised, and with a light kick, the whole body shattered into dust.
"You really have a bad taste."
Tang Rao muttered something, and Li Chu laughed.
"These things are an eyesore."
Although only one person infected by the virus was found, it is certain that after the virus was ravaged, the town fell into famine again. They found nothing and took away everything that could be taken away. Only
The modern equipment is still there.
Fortunately, a few people quickly found fresh water. If they continued to drink that distilled water, they would have physical problems.
However, they still didn't find food. If they didn't get some food, they would starve to death. They might be able to find some edible plant roots in the forest, but all eight of them had no physical strength.
"Depend on."
Hunger made Li Chu more and more irritable. He kicked an already dilapidated door, but fell to the ground before he could stand. Tang Rao burst out laughing. Werther walked over and helped Li Chu up. He felt uncomfortable.
He was lying on the ground again.
The long-term hunger has made the eight people unbearable anymore. Gene is still thinking of ways, but thinking now is useless. If they can't find food, they will really be doomed.
They were lucky enough to find some food the last few times they docked, but as time went by, the food they could find became less and less.
"Why don't we take care of those corpses..."
As soon as Li Chu finished speaking, he felt the strange looks from everyone, and he said with an embarrassed smile.
"I'm just kidding."
After resting for a while, everyone started looking around again. They had to search the entire town to find food.
To be continued...
