Chapter 26 Leaving Sui City
The sky is slightly bright.

Chi Yue put away the remaining furniture in the master bedroom, put on her backpack and left the home full of memories with Wen Qizhou.

They went to the corridor on the 11th floor, inflated the assault boat, installed the seat board and the engine, took out a bundle of nylon ropes, tied the assault boat at one end, and tied the other end to the handrail of the stairs, and hung it down through the window of the corridor .

After reconfirming that there were no crocodiles around, they grabbed the rope and climbed over the window, with their toes touching the building wall and slowly descending.

The sudden flood submerged the eighth floor, and there was garbage floating on the muddy water surface, emitting a pungent smell.

Chi Yue got on the boat and was almost retched by the smell. She squeezed the tie of the mask tightly, endured the discomfort and untied the nylon rope, and took out the binoculars to look at the surrounding situation.

Wherever the line of sight sweeps, everything is normal.

"Pray for a boat." She freed one hand and grabbed the safety rope on the left side of the hull: "Let's speed up and leave the city center first."

"Okay." Wen Qizhou, who was sitting opposite her, controlled the assault boat and drove out of the community according to the visible landmarks.

The sound of the engine of the assault boat is so small that it is difficult to hear it two meters away, and it will not attract anyone's attention because of the sound.

There was a burst of water splashing from the stern of the ship, startling the swarm of flies hovering above the garbage, flapping their wings and flying to another place.

Wen Qizhou avoided the billboards, bicycles, wardrobes and other items floating on the water, and drove steadily at a speed of 40km/h out of the urban area that was no longer prosperous and left only devastated.

Once you leave the familiar environment, no matter how difficult it is to find the landmarks to identify the road, you can only rely on the compass and map to move forward.

When driving to the flooded highway, he saw an orange assault boat: "Yueyue, there is a boat ahead."

Chi Yue turned to look.

The lens of the binoculars caught the captain's people and the piled luggage, and it seemed that there was no threat, so she was a little relieved.

They didn't deliberately catch up with the ship, but the people on board had spotted them and slowed down to wait ahead.

"Brothers." There were two men and two women on board, and one of them, a handsome young man, pointed his head at Wen Qizhou and waved his hands twice, raised his smile and said, "Where are you going?"

He and his three companions were in good spirits, and their clothes were neat and clean. It was obvious from a glance that they hadn't suffered a lot recently.

Wen Qizhou: "Lincheng."

"What a coincidence! We are too." The young man was obviously talkative, so he talked about their situation without him asking.

He and the girl wearing glasses next to him are brother and sister. This time he went to Lincheng to find his parents who work in Lincheng.

The other two were his good friends, they had just come down from Nanshan, they met him on the road and decided to leave together.

Hearing him mention Nanshan, Chi Yue's eyes fell on the two of them, and he said in a gentle voice, "How is the situation in Nanshan?"

The girl with long chestnut curly hair said: "The order is not bad, few people rob, but the living environment is not good."

"The few houses on the top of the mountain were all occupied by residents near Nanshan. When we went there, we could only live in caves."

"A cave must be crowded with at least ten people. It is noisy every day, the air is poor, and there are many bugs and snakes."

She pursed her lips and complained.

As if thinking of the pain of being bitten by mosquitoes, she picked up the toilet water in her pocket and sprayed it all over her body.

"Isn't it normal to have bugs?" The neglected young man expressed his opinion seriously: "Safety is the most important thing now! At least you won't be worried in Nanshan, right?"

"That's true." The curly-haired girl shook the bottle and sprayed it again, suddenly remembering to ask, "Why didn't you go up the mountain at that time?"

"We overslept."

"..." talent.

Seeing him chatting about his mental journey again, Chi Yue told Wen Qizhou to speed up, saying goodbye to them on the grounds that he was in a hurry.

The distance between the two ships gradually widened.

Compared with the rush mode of the four of them "traveling in the mountains and rivers", the boats they encountered ahead seemed much more urgent, and they seemed to be participating in the competition, and each boat was faster than the other.

They didn't stop anymore, they stopped talking to anyone, and while maintaining vigilance, they steered the boat forward.

"Boom—"

A loud noise suddenly sounded.

A corpse floating in the front left appeared to be a phenomenon of a giant, and was caught off guard and exploded in the muddy water.

The exploded human tissue splashed onto the boat closest to the corpse, causing the people sitting on the boat to collapse and scream.

"Don't look back." Wen Qizhou, who witnessed the whole process, stopped the assault boat and reminded Chi Yue.

Seeing such a scene for the first time, he was so nauseated that his stomach was overwhelmed, and he couldn't help bending his back and retching for a while.

Chi Yue didn't even bother to look back.

She unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle, leaned forward a little to feed him two sips of water, and patted him on the back with her palm.

When he recovered, she took out a tissue to wipe his lips, and asked with concern, "Is your stomach still hurting?"

"much better."

Wen Qizhou took a deep breath.

He rubbed the top of Chi Yue's hair, covered the back of her hand and told her to hold on to the safety rope, and continued to move forward without looking sideways.

Passing the area where the violent explosion was heard, Chi Yue glanced at the water surface and the people affected from the corner of his eye, and instantly understood what made Wen Qizhou sick to the point of vomiting.

The broken limbs and organs are really uncomfortable. Even if she has seen it twice, it is difficult to look directly at it.

She looked away, felt the warm breeze blowing around her, and focused on observing the situation behind Wen Qizhou.

Fortunately, no ferocious aquatic animals were encountered along the way, and there was no second exploding giant corpse.

but-
When they drove 320 kilometers and were about to refuel again, they suddenly saw rolling mountains in the distance.

Where there are mountains, there must be tunnels.

But after days of heavy rain and floods, the tunnel leading to Lincheng must have been flooded.

It is up to them to choose whether to advance or retreat.

"Pray for a boat." Chi Yue looked at the mountains, and gave Wen Qizhou the right to choose: "Which one do you choose, detour or mountain climbing?"

"Climb the mountain." Instead of wasting time looking for the second way, it's better to go directly over the mountain.

Wen Qizhou raised his wrist slightly, and glanced at the hour hand on the dial that was about to point to four: "We just happened to be able to spend the night on the mountain."

It is not safe to drive in the dark.

They originally planned to find a residential building to stay overnight, but now that the mountain is in front of them, it doesn't have to be so troublesome.

Chi Yue nodded: "OK."

She told Wen Qizhou to stay away from other ships and people who had not yet made a decision, and found a hidden mountain road through the telescope.

They approached the mountain road, raised their feet across the bow of the boat and stepped on the mud, and then dragged the assault boat into the space under the shade of a tree.

Then, holding trekking poles up the mountain.

On the way up the mountain, I often encountered snakes and insects. Wen Qizhou, who was walking in front, pushed aside the emerald green snake that crawled to his feet, and turned to ask Chi Yue.

"Yueyue, have you ever eaten snake meat?"

"I've eaten a few times."

"How does it taste?"

"It's okay." Chi Yue stopped, took a sip of water and took a break: "Its meat is very tight, a bit like a bullfrog."
