This is a fork in the highway, and the road is completely submerged. Only the sign for the fork is exposed, which is slightly higher than Ren Zhi standing in the boat. Although it was a little tilted by the current, the direction was still right.
The arrow pointing to the left says Rongcheng, and the arrow pointing to the right says Buk Province.
"..."
It is known that Rongcheng is to the north of Xishi, Beisheng is to the northeast of Xishi, and Renzhi has been walking west.
So how on earth did she end up here? !
Ren Zhi didn't believe in evil, so he took out the compass and looked at it again and again. Yes, the direction was right.
"Wait……"
Suddenly a thunder flashed through his mind, and Ren Zhi couldn't help but pat his forehead.
He hurriedly took out the five compasses he had stored earlier. Sure enough, each one pointed in a different direction, and one kept spinning in circles.
She is really stupid! I even forgot about geomagnetic fluctuations.
The geomagnetism is unstable and the compass has long been unreliable.
The midday sun made people nervous. After being silent for a long time, Ren Zhi rummaged through the storage room and found a watch.
"Half of the time is facing the sun, and 12 points to the north...yes!"
Fortunately, Ren Zhi had not forgotten the watch positioning method he learned in elementary school, and Ren Zhi used his watch to locate the real West.
The direction we took before was indeed all wrong.
If you want to go to Huacheng, Ren Zhi should go southwest now.
After a little hesitation, Ren Zhi chose to go due west.
The temperature is already over 30 degrees, and will soon rise to over 40 degrees before the floodwaters completely recede.
The temperature is very high now, but the sun is not strong. I don’t know where the volcanic ash comes from, blocking a large part of the sunlight.
But when the dust dissipates, mankind will face an extremely difficult test.
If Ren Zhi was still drifting on the water at that time, it would be too dangerous.
So at least she won't head south until the floodwaters completely recede.
The assault boat was moving forward at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour. Ren Zhi checked the direction from time to time, and then used a telescope to observe the surrounding situation.
Occasionally she would stop and use her paddle to check the depth of the water, but most of the time it was only about a meter.
Very good, the terrain here is already very high. If everything goes well, she should encounter a service area next, so she can rest there.
Before it got dark, Ren Zhi took out his telescope and took another look. As far as the eye can see, Ren Zhi seems to be the only one left in the world.
Also, except for her, no one would do such a stupid thing as running into the wild, Ren Zhi laughed at himself in his heart.
In cities, even in the suburbs, there are many buildings standing in the water, a little above the water.
But here on the Rongcheng Expressway, there was originally wilderness and farmland. Once the flood came, it was completely submerged.
Ren Zhi looked over and could only see a patch of land.
Occasionally, there are one or two rows of cedar trees standing alone in the water, and the part above the water is extremely lush.
Some of the continuous high-voltage electricity towers in the distance are still standing strong and upright despite the impact of the flood, but many are swaying and high-voltage wires have also fallen into the water.
"The power of the flood is actually so great..."
Soon, it got dark.
Ren Zhi is still on the water with no end in sight.
"That's weird. Logically speaking, we should have arrived at the service area long ago." Ren Zhi said to Da Zhuang while lying on the edge of the boat.
Da Zhuang didn't know the way either, so he could only rub Ren Zhi with his wet eyes open.
In fact, Ren Zhi didn't know that the continental plates were extremely active during the flood, and changes that usually took tens of millions of years to complete in the history of the planet were completed in just a few months.
Xishi is a little far away from the earthquake zone, so she doesn't feel much. And her current location is on the edge of the earthquake. In the past few months, she has experienced countless earthquakes.
The landscape has completely changed, not to mention the original buildings.
To put it simply, the highway she was traveling along had long been interrupted, and the service area she was looking for had long been buried underground.
Those iron towers I saw a few hours ago were the last buildings around.
There was no way to rest on the water. When the boat stopped, even if she couldn't close her eyes, Ren Zhi wanted to take a break to replenish her strength. She was already very tired. She was really too tired to be alone...
Da Zhuang felt Ren Zhi's emotions and moved closer to rub his big head into her arms.
Ren Zhi felt warm in her heart, hugged Dazhuang and buried her head in his fur. Fortunately, she still had Dazhuang.
Half a minute later, Ren Zhi suddenly raised his head, his fair face covered with beads of sweat.
The weather was too hot and it wasn't raining anymore. Da Zhuang stopped wearing that raincoat a long time ago.
Except for a scar on his face, all the hair on his body has grown out.
The thirty-degree weather made Ren Zhi sweat all over.
A handful of sweat fell from her forehead, and any sadness she felt about spring and autumn was gone.
Slowly but firmly pushing away the big, strong head, Ren Zhi stood up and went to the stern of the ship without looking back.
Da Zhuang was stunned for a moment when he was suddenly pushed away, but then he quietly settled into his position with a well-behaved look on his face.
After Ren Zhi started the motor, he turned around and saw this scene.
She couldn't help but rub the big dog's head hard again.
"I was really obsessed just now. I actually felt like I was alone... Obviously I have the best dog in the world!"
It must be because I haven’t slept for too long and my brain is confused!
…
After working on the spot for several hours, the sun finally rose again.
I checked the direction against the sun. Fortunately, it wasn't too far off.
After adjusting the direction, Ren Zhi released the big duck, started the assault boat and continued moving forward under the drowsy sun.
This walk lasted several hours.
Before the sun rose above the head, the big duck leading the way suddenly stopped.
"quack!"
After shouting a few times, he accelerated suddenly and flew straight up.
Ren Zhi quickly followed.
After a while, a forest appeared in front of her.
"There is such a lush forest here!"
Ren Zhi stopped and looked at it. The trees in the forest are very dense, and there is no end as far as the eye can see. There are many vines, and no animals have been seen yet.
The water surface covered by the huge tree canopy does not get a trace of sunlight, and it looks very comfortable.
Five minutes later, the big duck flew back and landed in front of the assault boat.
"Quack!" Safe! follow me!
Ren Zhiguo cut off the boat and went in, but the trees inside were too dense and the boat got stuck before he could go far.
She looked back at the almost invisible entrance, and simply fixed the assault boat between four trees.
"Just rest here today."
There was no need to worry about the fixed assault boat capsizing, and Ren Zhi built a temporary shed on it to prevent insects and bird droppings.
After eating something hastily, she released Xiaofeng.
With Xiaofeng watching over them, she, Da Zhuang and Da Ya could finally have a good rest.
It was indeed cool in the forest, and within two minutes, both Da Ya and Da Zhuang fell asleep next to Ren Zhi.
Ren Zhi stroked Da Zhuang's neck, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes.
She didn't dare to sleep, so she simply started practicing the Beast Spirit Art.
In the dark forest, the atmosphere quietly changed.
