Chapter 78 Ferry 3
I rechecked the injury and found that the injury to the leg was not too serious. Compared to being hit by a standard bullet, the wound was nothing to mention. However, in fact, the bullet penetrated the holster on the right leg, and finally
It just hit my leg. Fortunately, the wound was not very deep, otherwise the leg would have been destroyed.
A wound like this is fairly easy to treat, and as long as the bullet doesn't break any bones, I might be really lucky.
After relieving the pain, I pulled off the medical bag, turned on the searchlight, and then endured the pain to pick the warhead out of the flesh. I admit that this is difficult, but time at this stage does not allow me to delay, and the current medical methods are
Only in this way, if the wound becomes infected, then I have to chop off the leg. So I have to put a bandage in my mouth, bite something to pull out the fragments, and then debridement.
After a while, Lao Lan and the others chose a relatively small patrol boat and successfully obtained the key. I also sprinkled styptic powder and wrapped gauze bandages, which would allow me to easily treat the wound and support it.
He stood up by himself. Having said that, if these patrol boats didn't have a machine gun mounted on them, I don't believe anyone would take notice.
"Come on, cowboy, it's time for us to hit the road!" Lao Lan handed over his hand, and I handed it over without thinking.
"Going west, have a nice trip, buddy." I waved my hand and asked Wei Lao to start the boat.
"Wait, let me think about how to open it." Wei Lao scratched his head and said.
I grinned and urged him, "Please, haven't you ever driven this thing before?"
"That was a long time ago, and damn, I never drove this thing on the southern coast," he replied, inserting the key disapprovingly.
"In my opinion, they are all boats," Lao Lan smiled. Then he added: "It's just that Wei Lao was driving a small yacht at the time."
"Look! There's no comparison to this level!" Mr. Wei said in a boastful way, showing off to me.
"Shut your mouth and get this piece of shit out of here quickly!" I urged. No matter what kind of boat it is, I'm sick of these things anyway.
Under the cover of darkness, the patrol boat with four people on board rocked and roared its engine, and finally headed to the west river.
To the west is the estuary. There are no sentries or too many buildings. There are only relatively stable flow rates and undeveloped land resources on both sides. Places far away from the urban area are generally used to develop industrial bases or factories. This is the West
The urban area is filled with the pungent smell of sulfur and rust. The impression it brings to people is always a view of chimney trees. But in fact, it is indeed so.
I have to admit that this boat is very light and stable. So it is very comfortable for people to drive the boat next to the river. As long as the weather is sunny and you can endure the abuse of the middle-aged people who are fishing by the lake,
This way of traveling is not bad. But now there is no verbal abuse and no good weather. All that is left is the sky full of snow and empty streets.
I seemed to hear a lot of gunshots coming from the river embankment. Although the sounds were very vague, I could still distinguish them.
I loosened the tourniquet, and then I took a breath. If I hadn't had so many protective gears on me, I was afraid that .22-caliber bullets would have killed me several times. "What the fuck!" I said in a irritated mood.
He cursed under the quiet night.
"Shh, keep your voice down." Yana stretched out her index finger and came close to me. At this time, the flashlight light hit her face, which was very scary.
The process of sailing was very boring, and I gradually got used to the bumps on the water. It was almost night by the time we left Nancheng District and left all the high-rise buildings behind.
As night fell, the river and the surrounding darkness gradually merged into one, making it difficult for me to see the dividing line between the water and the ground. It was like a puddle of ink was poured into the water, and eventually the entire water would become turbid. This made Wei Wei
The guy caused a lot of trouble, because he wanted to sail the boat, and we didn't dare to turn on the searchlight easily, so we had to use a flashlight with low brightness to shine on the water in front of us.
This caused the boat's speed to begin to slow down, and we began to sail towards the seaport. From here on, there were no river banks, no stone platforms and steps. Looking around with a flashlight, there were only dark shrubs and some along the edges.
Just plants growing on the river bank.
Strangely enough, there are no sluices set up at the estuary. To the far west, some fishing boats began to appear in Xicheng District. This is because of the large sluice in the east. I heard some workers from Beicheng District running away and saying,
Several sluice gates on the side have been damaged, and now the water level has risen, almost reaching the level upstream. So people don't want to stay next to the river embankment. When the snowstorm comes, the area will definitely collapse into a mess.
The probability of surviving was really pitiful. I sighed with emotion: "I almost got hit in the dick by him. Damn it!"
"That's just good luck, man, actually not." Lao Lan said, even though I couldn't see where he was sitting now. You can understand it: the night can speak.
"We have all survived, haven't we? Some time ago, maybe your luck ran out." Wei Lao said while driving the boat in front.
"Yeah." I shook my head and recalled the time when I was in the crossfire. "It was just good luck that I didn't die." I said.
When the city does not have enough electricity, people along the river use barges as a canal as a central transportation alternative. Of course, this is the practice in the old days. Nowadays, transportation is developed, and tram tracks and subways are everywhere.
, you just need to determine how to go next.
But even if they are running at the mouth of the river, the nearby villagers will try their best to squeeze the gold coins from these barges. For example, in narrow channels, these villagers will set up their own ship locks and use some steel bars and iron railings to make obstacles to keep these things
Block the river sideways. Then wait for a small fishing boat to come over, and collect the money from the fishermen on the boat.
I don’t want to meet these people. Although the villagers don’t have many firearms, simple crossbows and sharp blades will still make everyone succumb. Not to mention their warm and hospitable behavior. If we meet these people,
I can only make plans based on which side has stronger firepower. Who knows? Do these villagers have guns? Do they know how to use guns? I think if everyone is a threat, then it is better to just stay here.
The underwater shelter is ready.
The patrol boat drove westward at a steady speed, and Wei Lao also began to operate the small boat skillfully. After about half an hour, we left the last section of the river and entered a long stretch of open water, where we were very close.
It has access to the sea. But because it is close to the sea, there is a lot of garbage from Xicheng District or waste left by houses close to the river bank. They have hindered the entry and exit of large ships to a certain extent. Perhaps this is also used by Xicheng District to prevent other
Let the military warships enter the area.
But this was very troublesome for us. There were many wooden boxes and garbage floating on the surface, and the strong wind nearby made the boat bump very hard.
Wei Lao, on the other hand, struggled to control the boat, slowly weaving between garbage and obstacles.
"Is there anyone living around here?" Lao Lan frowned and looked at the dark forest.
"What did you see?" I asked.
"There are some lights that appear and disappear," he answered.
"That's the electric light on the hillside on the river bank." Yana explained in a low voice: "Now there are people in this area using wind power to generate electricity, and there may be a few villagers gathering here."
"Hopefully they won't hear our engines," I said to myself.
Soon, I began to see the stars in the night sky, and there were vague whistles in the distance. This meant that we were far away from the entire city, far away from the city, and came to the countryside. This place was not affected by the storm.
, the stars in the sky were visible to the naked eye. I stood up and looked into the distance, and I could even see some warships of the Northern Empire conducting blockade operations on the sea. Of course, these warships all turned on searchlights and some lighting points, otherwise
I wouldn't have discovered them that easily. In other words, these warships are warning others: Don't try to break through the blockade.
Now, the ship sailed into the estuary, and the lighthouse island not far away suddenly appeared in front of our eyes. Under the reflection of the bonfires and light spots on the island, the nearby seawater turned red.
"We're here, turn off the lights!" I said.
At this time, I was still uneasy. Unless there were some "enthusiastic" residents on the island, we would not bring so many things up there.
Chapter completed!
