Tian Feng was right. Although the proportion of people who survived two natural disasters was small, the base was large.
Even if a city with millions of people loses nine out of ten, it will still have hundreds of thousands or even nearly a million people. Human vitality is also very tenacious.
But are those who survive really 'lucky'?
They either hugged floating objects or relied on their good swimming skills to escape to less than 20% of the land.
Without exception, these lands that have not been submerged are all mountains that were once relatively high in altitude.
However, looking at it now, wherever there are high mountains, they have become 'islands' of different sizes, and some even have only the top of the mountain.
As for the urban areas on the plains, no matter how tall the buildings are, there is no trace at this time. One can imagine the depth of the sea!
After some people finally climbed ashore, they were all panting after narrowly escaping death;
"It's too scary... If I didn't have better swimming skills, I would definitely be dead..."
"Me too, and luckily when the tsunami came, I hid in the bathtub in the bathroom and was not directly impacted by the waves."
"Yes, many people were killed by the huge impact of the waves. They could only escape by getting into a bathtub filled with water."
"Some people couldn't escape even if they hid in the bathtub, and there were a lot of people buried in the ruins. It can only be said that our luck is better, and we narrowly escaped death!"
"What the hell is going on here? First the extremely hot climate, and then the tsunami flooding the city. Is it really the end of the world? I'm still a virgin, and I haven't tasted the taste of a woman. I don't want to die..."
There were cries of ghosts and howls everywhere, and almost everyone was cursing the natural disaster and venting their dissatisfaction.
But what's the point of doing this?
Things have happened and cannot be reversed. No matter how vicious the curse is, there will be no response from God.
Soon, someone's throat was filled with smoke as they cursed, their mouths were dry and they wanted to drink water.
Looking around, the vast expanse is filled with water, just like a 'water world'.
A young man came to the shore, held some water in his hands, and put it into his mouth.
"Cough cough cough, cough cough cough..."
Just after taking a sip, he coughed violently and looked ugly;
"It's so salty...it's also fishy and smelly. I can't drink this water at all..."
Suddenly, many people looked at him like a fool, and some even whispered;
"Nonsense, the water brought by the tsunami is not sea water, what is it?"
"If you're thirsty and drink sea water, wouldn't it mean that the more you drink, the thirstier you become, and you're looking for death? You really have no common sense at all."
"It's just that the salt content in seawater is so high. If you take a sip of seawater, your body will have to consume two mouthfuls of water in order to metabolize the salt in it. It would be weird if you don't become dehydrated..."
Some people laughed, some watched the excitement, but some people stood up and calmly analyzed the current situation;
"The arrival of the tsunami brought an end to the extremely hot weather disaster, and the temperature has now returned to normal."
"But we are afraid that we will face bigger troubles. First of all, the city will be submerged by the sea and we will be trapped on this mountain."
"And this mountain is like an isolated island now. I'm afraid no one will be able to rescue us in a short time. All living conditions must be created by ourselves."
After hearing this, many people seemed to have found a backbone, and quickly gathered around and expressed their opinions one after another;
"What you said makes sense. Otherwise, you can lead us all to survive."
"Yes, yes, we will listen to you from now on, as long as you can keep us alive. Now I am thirsty and hungry..."
In an environment with harsh living conditions and driven by human nature, it is normal for the crowd to have a herd effect.
If you want to be the leader at this time, you can achieve it with a little performance.
But it’s not easy to be a leader. Once someone becomes attached to you, others will immediately take advantage of you.
Even if the development is not good, it may become a problem, like being bitten by a group of parasites.
After all, people are not really 'sheep', they can turn into 'wolves' at any time!
Sure enough, after a lot of work, nothing was gained from this 'barren mountain and island'.
The person in front who was regarded as the leader was immediately blamed by others;
"Why is there nothing? What are you leading us to do?"
"It's just that I have been busy for a long time in vain. I haven't found anything to eat or drink. On the contrary, I am even more thirsty and hungry."
"So many of us listen to you, and you must be responsible for us! Now everyone is too tired to hold on, what do you think we should do?"
Look, isn't this relied on? So when it comes to human nature, ordinary people really can't handle it well.
The leader was helpless at the moment. The lack of harvest was not his fault. He also wanted to find food and fresh water resources.
But in the face of heated public sentiment, he couldn't explain it even if it was justified, and he didn't dare to complain.
Otherwise, you can imagine what these thirsty, hungry and tired people in front of him would lose their minds and do to him.
Presumably, when experiencing the first natural disaster, those who have survived until now must have witnessed the darkest moments of human nature!
Just when the situation was about to get out of hand, there was suddenly a roar of engines and the sound of waves breaking in the distance.
Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound and saw a speedboat riding the wind and waves on the endless water.
After discovering the speedboat, the people on the island suddenly seemed to be plunged into despair and darkness, but they suddenly saw the dawn of hope.
The leader also breathed a sigh of relief and quickly spoke to everyone;
"We are saved! The speedboat must be here to save us!"
"Quick, let's call for help as loudly as possible, and then burn everything we can. The smoke will make it easier for people on the speedboat to find us!"
People rushed into action after hearing the order, everyone shouted with all their strength;
"There is someone here!"
"Come here, come and save us!"
Even if they shouted until their voices became hoarse, they did not dare to stop. After all, their lives were at stake, so they naturally worked extremely hard.
Some people even took off their clothes and lit them with lighters, sending thick black smoke into the sky.
Their efforts were actually heard and seen by Tian Feng on the yacht a hundred meters away.
But Tian Feng was still the same as before. He didn't intend to pay attention to it. He turned the bow of the boat and prepared to go around it.
Soon, those on the island also discovered that the speedboat had no intention of coming towards them.
Instead, he walked in a circle, as if he was avoiding them.
Seeing such a scene, they were stunned for a moment, and then became extremely angry;
"How could this man do this? He had no intention of saving us!"
"It's so inhumane to refuse to save him until he dies. We can't let him go so easily!"
In an instant, the eyes of every desperate person gradually turned green.
A few of the better swimmers immediately jumped into the water and swam in the direction of the speedboat.
If a person wants to catch up with a speedboat by swimming, it may be a bit ridiculous, after all, the speed difference is there.
But when a group of people swim around in an encirclement, the route of the yacht can really cause a lot of obstacles and some trouble.
Seeing this scene, Tian Feng's eyes immediately turned cold on the speedboat.
"Since you are seeking death, you can't blame me..."
