Thousands of miles away, the surface of the sea was muddy. Towering trees that had their leaves washed away were spinning in the sea. Countless foam fragments mixed with the dark corpses made the blue waves even more disgusting. In the distance, a faint line of land trembled as if it was having a cramp. The waves that were more than ten meters high rose and fell erratically, pressing down on the trees that were floating in the water. Occasionally, the sounds of giant trees breaking could be heard in the clamor of the waves. In the midst of these mountain-like waves, thin boats were like ants in a rainstorm, stubbornly rowing forward. There were more or less survivors on each boat. As far as the eye could see, there were no less than a few hundred boats. Most of the boats had empty seats. From time to time, one could see the survivors on the boats being washed into the sea by the waves. Once they fell into the sea, there was no hope of survival. However, no boats stopped, only faint cries.
Suddenly, another wave rushed down the city wall. This roaring wave rolled up the water and rolled for several kilometers to hit the fleet. Bursts of screams sounded in the fleet. Everyone could desperately grasp the handrails and bow their heads to meet the impact. How could the thin boats resist the huge wave?
The sea roared, the white waves splashed, and the broken planks and twisted human bodies flew in the air one after another, forming a three-dimensional picture of the doomsday. When the wave disappeared, two-thirds of the boats disappeared from the sea forever, leaving only countless palm-sized pieces of wood floating with the waves.
The boats stopped rowing and rose and fell with the waves on the sea. The panicked survivors sat in the water in the cabins, looking at the countless rolling planks, as if they did not believe that they had survived. Although the big wave had gone, the remaining waves had not disappeared. Waves surged like hills and scattered the scattered fleet, drifting to the unknown distance.
"Forward, everyone forward, we have come out, we can't go back, we can only move forward … even if we die, we have to move forward …"
The young Asian man in the team suddenly shouted in Chinese. The mournful cry was like a question to the heavens, full of sadness and mournfulness. The turbulent waves roared like thunder, and the huge sound waves drifted between the sea and the sky. However, it could not cover the man's heart-wrenching cry. The man's cry finally made the survivors come back to their senses, and they cried together. They cried for escaping death that was within reach. Many ships had lost their crew, and many ships had more than ten people, but only four or five people, or even one or two people remained. The most shocking was the empty ship with no one.
"Don't cry, if you want to die, jump down. If the big wave comes again, no one will survive. If you want to live, work harder, Okinawa is not far from us …" The man was the leader of the whole fleet. Under his encouragement, many people subconsciously looked for oars to row, but there were still some people who refused to move, staring at the undulating sea in the distance. Until the end of the sea, they could not see a trace of land.
"Wu Fan, don't lie to us anymore. Look at how many people are left.
When we set out, there were seven thousand people, but when we reached the beach, there were only four thousand people left. Eight hundred died a kilometer out to sea, twelve thousand died ten kilometers out to sea, and now there are only six hundred people left. Do you want everyone to die … "On the boat closest to Wu Fan, a young girl screamed at Wu Fan, expressing her dissatisfaction. Wu Fan suddenly turned back to the girl and pleaded," Do you still want to go back? At this point, do you still have a choice? My premonition tells me that only by rushing out of Japan can we survive, only by reaching Okinawa can we survive, only by crossing the sea can we survive. Little Yan, let's move forward, trust me … "
Wu Fan's eyes were fixed on the spot next to the grieving girl. It was originally her boyfriend's seat, but now it was empty. Although it was a heavy loss, it made him happy. However, the girl was not happy. She screamed, "We followed you because we believed in you. Are you worthy of the six thousand souls who believed in you? You blind and arrogant bastard, do you want to kill everyone before you will stop …" Wu Fan's eyes were fixed on the girl who was grieving.
The scolding made Wu Fan furious. He wanted to refute, but the waves beside him crashed down, and the rushing water made his already drenched body even wetter. He immediately came to his senses. This was not the place to quarrel. More than a thousand lives were lost here. For a moment, he ignored the girl and only tried to console himself in his heart. As long as he could survive, he would be able to find a more beautiful woman. He shouted loudly, "If we go back, we will die. Those who believe in me, follow me. Those who don't believe in me, decide for yourself …"
Wu Fan was able to rise and fall. Only with a strong will could he become the leader of the Japanese foreigner gathering place. Ninety percent of the survivors had died. The remaining ten percent of the survivors looked at Wu Fan's back and subconsciously waved their oars to chase after him. This caused Little Swallow to scream loudly …
Wu Fan led the remaining six hundred people to charge through the last wave. He let out a sigh of relief and turned around to look behind him. However, he couldn't find Little Swallow's boat. Obviously, this beautiful girl didn't follow him. An extreme sense of depression flashed in his heart, and tears lingered in his eyes. The survivors around him looked at the rolling waves in the distance and cheered loudly. To them, being able to charge through the waves that devoured countless lives was a kind of victory. At this moment, countless shadows appeared under the surface of the sea …
The Americans' rebellion was extinguished by Zhang Xiaoqiang before it even started. Most of the Americans were unwilling to obey Zhang Xiaoqiang's command, led by Chris Brown. This time, John Li finally saw Zhang Xiaoqiang's ruthlessness. Chris Brown, who was taller than Zhang Xiaoqiang, pounced on Zhang Xiaoqiang like a violent brown bear, but Zhang Xiaoqiang easily tore off his head. The head with half of the spine still attached to it was bloody and held in Zhang Xiaoqiang's hand. This made most of the Americans feel despair. Only a few Americans didn't care about it, but they didn't oppose Zhang Xiaoqiang because of it. An invisible crisis was eliminated by Zhang Xiaoqiang's violent means, but Zhang Xiaoqiang could feel that his actions had suppressed the strong anger in the hearts of the Americans present. He didn't care about it, and he didn't want to win over these Americans, he just wanted them to obey him temporarily.
John Li wanted to speak a few times, but he didn't know where to start. He couldn't help but pull away from Zhang Xiaoqiang, and no longer had the warmth and familiarity from before. Wan Qiang seemed to have decided to ignore the junk and hid in the deepest part of the hangar, enjoying the various supplies found by the burly men. The Russians seemed to have received a signal, and no longer cooperated with Zhang Xiaoqiang. They were somewhat resistant and passively accepted the mission. As for Tie Zhongyuan and Darhachi, they seemed to have disappeared, and only Lieutenant Colonel Byron and Zuo Tian became Zhang Xiaoqiang's more reliable left and right hands.
The underground hangar was completely sealed. The underground military building was built according to wartime standards, and it was quite sturdy, so there was no need to worry about the flying insects outside. Most of the survivors who were still in shock were also sorted out and managed, and settled down under Zuo Tian's command. As for the British, they were even more well-behaved. They knew their own identity, and they formed their own faction, and hid in the corner. The Americans also hid alone, and kept a distance from the others, and were on guard against anyone who approached them.
The spacious underground airport served as a bomb shelter. There were command rooms, resting rooms, intelligence analysis rooms, electronic communication rooms, radars, and material warehouses. Although most of them were abandoned, the power supply system and water supply were still in good condition. Some military rations that had been sealed for many years could still be eaten, and it could temporarily satisfy the consumption of thousands of people for a long time. However, looking at the people who were divided into several groups and did not talk to each other, Zhang Xiaoqiang felt a headache. There were so many people present, but almost none of them belonged to him. Perhaps the ponytail girl could be counted as half, but he really could not count on her. It was already good enough that she could take care of the two children.
Lights lit up the spacious hangar, and cutting-edge fighter jets and drones were covered in thick dust in the corner. The noise of thousands of people talking in low voices echoed in the murky hangar. Zhang Xiaoqiang sat cross-legged on the ground, and looked at the countless people sitting quietly in a daze. At this time, he was completely at his wit's end. The underground hangar was directly connected to the airport building on the ground, and there were no less than twenty scouts upstairs. However, Zhang Xiaoqiang was not confident at all. He did not know when the flying insects outside would retreat, and according to the surveillance cameras outside, the sky was still dark.
Many flying insects had landed on the ground, and their dark carapaces almost covered all the buildings, ground, airplanes, and roads. The grass and trees outside the airport had also been devoured by the beetles. Fortunately, these beetles did not eat metal and cement, or else Zhang Xiaoqiang did not know how long he could last.
Zhang Xiaoqiang heard the footsteps, but he did not turn his head. He just stared blankly at the reflective floor after the dust was wiped off, and a shadow covered the reflection. Then, Zhang Xiaoqiang saw a pair of small feet wearing tattered sneakers. Although the sneakers were tattered, they were still clean. The holes in the shoes exposed the toes, which made Zhang Xiaoqiang feel sad. The owner of the sneakers seemed to have noticed that Zhang Xiaoqiang was looking at the shoes. She wiggled her toes uneasily, trying to hide them in the shoes, but she could not. Zhang Xiaoqiang looked up and saw the blushing cheeks of the ponytail girl. The ponytail girl was a very pure little girl. She looked about 16 or 17 years old, and she was about the same size as Meow. Meow was born with a baby face, and his body was not well-developed. However, the ponytail girl was quite well-developed, and her chest was definitely not small.
"Here you are …" The ponytail girl said in Chinese, which she did not know much. She stretched out her hand in front of Zhang Xiaoqiang. There was an opened military can in her white and tender palm. It was unknown what was inside, but there was no smell of mold. Judging from the ponytail girl's serious look, it should be edible. Zhang Xiaoqiang took it and put it beside him. He did not intend to eat it. Seeing Zhang Xiaoqiang's neglect, the ponytail girl was not angry. She carefully walked to the side of Zhang Xiaoqiang and sat down with her arms around his legs. Quietly, she accompanied Zhang Xiaoqiang. Soon, the two little ones also ran over and sat in front of them. They took out a pen and paper from somewhere and started to write on the floor.
Zhang Xiaoqiang was originally in a bad mood, but he felt much better with the company of the three children. He felt like he was not alone anymore. His mind started to work again, thinking about ways to escape. The outside was already the world of flying insects. They could not pass through the sky, let alone the ground. Even if the flying insects did not attack them, they could not swim across the sea. These thousands of people were temporarily safe, but what about the future?
There was also the New Era. Okinawa Island was a trap set by the New Era. It did not kill them for the time being, but there was no hope of escape. In this way, the New Era would monopolize the Red Algae resources. Others did not know the details of the Red Algae, but Zhang Xiaoqiang knew it clearly. There were no Level Five mutated beasts around the Red Algae, so the New Era could easily snatch the Red Algae.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart was tangled. It was not that he had never been at a disadvantage before, but he had never been at such a disadvantage. The planner of the New Era was a step ahead of him, trapping him and all the forces that had designs on the Red Algae on Okinawa Island, unable to move. All of this showed that the New Era had changed from focusing on force to strategy, which made him feel slightly uneasy. At least in his mind, there were not many people in China who were almost demon-like in terms of intelligence.
I have to get out and find a way to leave … Zhang Xiaoqiang was not a person who gave up easily. He began to sort out his thoughts in his mind. At this time, the girl with the ponytail dozed off, her head sinking like a chicken eating rice. Zhang Xiaoqiang did not notice, still thinking, Elson has already informed China, telling them where I am going. Maybe they can help?
But how do I let them know that I am in Okinawa Island?
I originally planned to contact them when I arrived in Korea, but what if I missed them?
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaoqiang felt a weight on his shoulder. He turned his head and found that the girl with the ponytail was sleeping on his shoulder. Frowning slightly, Zhang Xiaoqiang was about to move the girl with the ponytail away when he heard her heavy breathing and the delicate and serene face. He could not help but hesitate, and finally, he slowly hugged the girl with the ponytail, letting her lie in his arms. Holding her light body, he did not touch her. He began to miss Yang Ke-er and Meow, thinking of Meow, and thinking of Vladivostok.
Maybe I don't need to go to Korea. If the sky of Vladivostok can pass by airships, then helicopters can also pass by. Meow was guarding Vladivostok before I arrived in Japan. There is also the Hongying Brigade and Yueya there. If I find them, they will not be as helpless as now. But how do I contact them?
What is the use of contacting them?
New Era has blocked the surrounding sea area, and the sky is occupied by flying insects. Do I ask them to bring pesticide?
After thinking about it, Zhang Xiaoqiang had already sorted out his thoughts. First, he had to inform China of his location and situation, and tell them about the flying insects. No matter what China did, he had to let the people in the underground hangar know that they had not given up hope. As long as there was hope, they could unite these people to save themselves. Once they left Okinawa Island, he would launch a counterattack against New Era, and then …
