Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies-Chapter 169 - : Survival at Sea: Five Major Bases

Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Survival at Sea: Five Major Bases

Aftershocks didn’tme.

But a larger scale earthquake did!

Next to Jiang Yan, Song Qian’s eyes sharpened as he had already given ammand:

“Kong Wu! Start the boat!! First head east into the open waters!”

“Yes!”

The young boat driver received the order and quickly started the boat, “The waves are pretty big! Everyone hold tight and stay seated!”

Beneath the undulating waves, it was as if a fierce monster suddenly awoke.

It seing visually to crack.

Not far away,untless huge waves were rapidly gathering and rolling.

Similar to an iming tsunami.

In the field of view, buildings were violently shaking.

The surface of the water too, was boiling-like.

The panicky screams from the buildingrridors increased.

“Crash!”

A nearby huge wave came crashing down right on top of several people.

Standing at the bow, Song Qian and Kong Wu were drenched like drowned rats.

Jiang Yan, although wearing a helmet and a waterproof padding jacket, was also unable tompletely defend against it.

Cold, piercing water began to trickle down her neck.

Fortunately, her tight clothing underneath was also waterproof and quick-drying.

“Is heaven really trying to exterminate all humanity?!”

Su Dai, having never seen such a scene before, wiped the icy water off her face, her eyes suddenly reddening with despair.

Jiang Yan took a deep breath and remained silent.

“Don’t worry, it will pass soon.” Sun Jingtaomforted her, holding tightly onto a handle and embracing her firmly.

“Boom!”

The earthquakentinued.

“Splash!”

At the Shallow Bay District, people wearing life jackets jumped directly into the icyld water from the windows.

There were even more people jumping into the water at the central garden.

Some with rubber boats had already rowed out in a panic.

These scenes were bming farther in the eye of the observers.

As the speedboat surged through the waves and quickly after moving away from the buildings, it slowed down.

Many nearby buildings were just below the water’s surface, fearing to go too fast and hit a reef inadvertently.

A minute later, the shaking frequency of the buildings gradually slowed down, and the earthquake finally stopped.

But the waves on the surface had not stopped.

Several people were almost shaken senseless by the boat.

Looking around, a sight full of devastation met their eyes.

The buildings that once stood in the water were either leaning askew or hadllapsedmpletely.

“Brother Song! Thempass has malfunctioned!” Kong Wu, who was steering the boat, said in shock.

Everyone’s hearts sank.

“It should be the earthquake temporarily affecting the magnetic field, no worries, thempass will rver as long as the earthquakes do notntinue back to back,” Song Qian replied, frowning.

Kong Wu stopped the boat, “So what do we do now?”

“Let’s rest for a bit, and wait for the sun tome up,” Song Qian said, glancing at the sky.

The rain had stopped last night.

Due to thick clouds, the sky was still a dismal gray.

But signs indicated that the sun was about tome out.

“The sun, even when it rises at this time, won’t be easy to tell directions…” Kong Wu pursed his lips.

“This, I have a way,” Song Qian said, glancing at his watch, then suddenly asked, “How much fuel do we have left?”

Kong Wu looked at the dashboard and reported, “Two-thirds of a tank left, plus the reserves on our boat, it’s enough for three to four hundred kilometers.”

“Beep beep beep— ” Just as the other party finished speaking, the intem on his chest began to ring.

Kong Wu frowned, took it down to check, and said, “Eh, the battery’s normal too.”

“It’s because the leader’s boat has strayed away from us, so it’s giving this alert,” Song Qian glanced and explained.

Kong Wu lookednfused, “Ah? They didn’t even notify us once, what do we do now?!!”

Seeing his panic, Jiang Yan raised her eyes and glanced at him.

The latter stood about one hundred seventy-eight centimeters tall, sporting a tidy buzz cut.

His eyes were small yet bright.

He seemed astute.

He appeared around Ye Qing’s age, under twenty as well.

But hismposure clearlyuldn’t match Ye Qing’s.

And judging by hisnversation and expressions with Song Qian, they were likely temporary partners.

Hearing Kong Wu’s question, Song Qian did not respond but bent down to open the storage box’s lid, took out several bottles of water, handed them to everyone, then sat down next to Sun Jingtao, saying:

“Brother Sun, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you.”

“Sure, go ahead.”

“Initially, our plan was toseemed to have sped away from Anming.

Nowadays, the likelihood is that our speed boat will directly take you to East Mountain.”

“Okay, that will be troublesome. Let us know if there’s anything we can do,” Sun Jingtao knew the other was laying the groundwork for more to be said.

“The temperature isntinuously dropping, and we might need to rush forward before the ice freezes over.

But as you know, the amount of gasoline on the speed boat is limited, so I suggest we don’t chase after the leader’s boat but find some refueling supplies nearby.

This way, it will be safer when we travel later on.”

Their speedboat was also equipped with paddles.

Reliable hands paddling would take ages to reach East Mountain.

“Ah, Brother Song, had I known we’d pick up people and leave right away, the leader’s boat has plenty of—”

Hearing theyuldn’t catch up with the big boat, Kong Wu expressed his disappointment by pouting.

But he ceased in mid-sentence, noticing Song Qian’s gaze and suppressed the words back.

“If it’s going to freeze over, why don’t we just not go to East Mountain,” Su Dai, watching the surrounding waters, mind filled with the earlier huge waves, said with lingering fear.

Sun Jingtao shook his head, “If it freezes over, survival will be even more difficult. Moreover, after the ice and snow melt, the water level here will only be deeper, and we can only go to higher places.”

“Ugh, had I known, I would have just sold the house and gone to East Mountain…,” Su Dai’s negative emotions worsened.

Her hometown was over there, with many relatives as well.

But after the high temperatures,mmunications were cut off.

She wasn’t actually aware of the situation there.

Song Qian glanced at her and said:

“East Mountain beadiated, and the number of survivors was not more than in Anming.”

Su Dai: “!”

“So, Yaoben Base was also built later?” Ye Qing eyed Song Qian.

The latter did not evade, “Yes, I heard it started during the storm. Among the five known private bases currently, only Flame Base was built in advance before the storm.”

“Five private bases??” Su Dai was taken aback for a snd.

“Yes. I’ve also heard about it. I only know that the five private bases are named after Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. So far, the known Yaoben Base and Flame Base respectively represent Earth and Fire. As for Metal, Water, Wood, they remain unknown.”

Jiang Yan: “…”

After Song Qian explained, the look in his eyes towards everyone became slightly probing.
