Chapter 192 Arrival at Destination
white night……
As Colin listened to his sermon and the other party spoke his real name, he couldn't help but think of a sacred figure in his mind.
That figure was born in the eternal darkness, floating in the air, flapping its wings, shedding blessed light, driving away the darkness, and bringing salvation...
In a trance, everyone seemed to be able to hear what He wanted to say.
However, at this moment, someone suddenly shouted and the scene ended.
"Wait, it seems we're here!"
Hearing the sound, Colin paused, shook his head slightly, and looked towards that place.
Under the light, a dilapidated high-rise building by the river appeared on the retina. From a visual point of view, there was nothing surprising compared to other places.
However, Colin took a deep breath and smelled an abnormal fishy smell in the air.
"There's a situation."
Colin hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to think of a way to warn them, but the Beyonder who was predicting fate suddenly shouted, "My intuition tells me that something is wrong inside. Be careful."
Although using "intuition" to predict good or bad luck is actually unreliable, people who believe in "fortune-telling" have to say another thing.
Because of their access to the power of the "Book of Numerology", their sixth sense is often extraordinary.
After he finished speaking, Colin saw that everyone immediately became alert, slowed down, and lowered their footsteps.
The other group of survivors didn't understand what was going on and didn't observe anything, but they still followed along and reduced their noise.
A few minutes later, Colin and others slowly advanced to the outside of the community.
When they came here, they could clearly feel that the air around them became much more humid, and there was a faint smell of the sea.
However, no one saw anything yet, and Colin saw no threat except for the smell...
At this time, Wang Hu, who was being carried on someone's back, smelled the fishy smell of the sea and seemed to have thought of something. He whispered, "It's those things on the seabed. They may be nearby."
"Something from the sea?" Colin asked.
Then we soon learned that this was related to a disaster that broke out in the first place, a terrible tsunami.
During that storm, countless coastal cities and island countries were submerged by the rapidly rising sea level, and the population dropped drastically. Even if they did not die immediately, those who survived on the sea could still hear strange sounds from the sea, which lured them down.
Fortunately, the tsunami retreated to its pre-disaster level after lasting for a while.
Later I heard that if you are near a river or the sea, you are likely to encounter some underwater life...
These lives are suspected to be the humans who were originally involved.
Now the smell in the air , the humid air, and some strange sticky liquid on the ground all fit the description of these guys.
"Over the years, we learned about these monsters when we exchanged information with survivors from other regions, but we have never seen them..." Wang Hu shook his head and added some details.
Such as these monsters have skin as hard as steel, have great power, have the power to bewitch people, etc...
"It should just be passing by here, it's not a big problem."
Colin glanced at the ground and could clearly see that the foul-smelling water stains were heading towards a corner of a street and did not enter Tianlong Bay.
They were in no mood to fight these things if they didn't have to.
Now, after entering the night, Colin and his companions have seen some strange things while on the road, such as wriggling black shadows, fleshy plants lying on the top of the building, etc.
But perhaps because it was discovered early, it was not attacked.
The only monsters that we fought head-on were those black-skinned creatures that looked like humans but were not human in large numbers...
Without giving it much thought, Colin and the others entered Tianlong Bay after making sure there was no crisis, and followed the prompts to come downstairs of Building D.
In front of them, the stainless steel gate on the first floor of the community was rusted due to years of lack of maintenance and having been soaked in sea water.
Everyone easily passed through the door and carefully came to Room 803 on the eighth floor, where they saw a large amount of supplies stored there .
Colin took a quick look and found that most of them were canned foods and some mechanical parts. The most carefully stored items seemed to be some medicines, such as amoxicillin, cough tablets, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, Liuwei Dihuang Pills, vitamins, etc.
"There's hope! My dad's illness can be cured!" A survivor held a box in his hand, his dirty face full of joy.
Not only him, but other survivors also smiled rarely.
In this disaster, food is actually not that difficult to obtain. After all, the disaster claimed too many lives at one time, so that a large region that once needed to feed tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people now only needs to feed less than one percent or even one thousandth of the people at that time. The remaining food can be said to be "more than enough."
Even the canned food left in some dilapidated shelters has not been finished by the people in several settlements after more than ten years, let alone other things.
And, with some homemade generators and light bulbs, they can also grow some vegetables and raise some pigs...
The only thing left is medicine. Even the cold medicine that was once ubiquitous, they have no ability to reproduce, so it is also the scarcest thing after the disaster.
"It's been so many years, is it still useful?" Colin couldn't help but ask curiously.
According to what he knew, after the catastrophe, except in places like shelters, ordinary people no longer had the ability to make medicine, so the medicines found here had been produced for at least ten years. He didn't know if they would cause poisoning if eaten.
"The efficacy of the medicine may be weakened, but most of them can be used, and we have no choice." Wang Hu explained, lying on a box of cans.
If you eat it, you might have some reaction, but if you get an infection or something, you will definitely die if you don’t eat it.
Without medicine, a common cold is no less than a natural disaster for children or people with poor health...
"Okay, we have done what we promised you, now it's your turn."
Qin Chuan brought the topic back on track, "Ask your people to take us to a 'shelter' that is still in operation."
"Don't worry, give us a day. Once we bring these medicines back, we will immediately call that man and ask him to take you to find a shelter. During this process, the three of us and I will stay here with you..." Wang Hu made a promise.
Colin and others looked at each other, thought about it, and finally did not reject it.
They can wait for one day.
