[Exclusively published by Jinjiang Literature City]
Although there are many people in the Dana family, there are only seven people including Olicia. The boat is heavy, and due to the angle, they have no way to lift the boat, let alone transport it to the bay.
"Don't leave! Come and help us! The boat has crushed Sim!" Olicia's mother was anxious and confused, trying to pull the villagers running past her.
But at this moment, the volcano once again erupted a round of ejecta, which fell in the woods and exploded. The huge sound was like a reminder.
While the other party felt guilty under her pleading, he pulled her hand away forcefully: "I'm sorry, I still have a family, I have to take care of them, I'm sorry!"
Several people in a row are like this.
Uncle Chuck, who was keeping watch tonight, sighed and rushed over to help.
Everyone worked together and tried several times again, and even Olicia was crying and pushing harder. But the more anxious she became, the more panicked she became. The boat was pushed a little, and because several people lost their strength, the pressure was tightened again.
Olicia's father let out a suppressed cry of pain, stretched out his hand and grabbed his brother: "Lifu, listen to me...it's too late, you can't push this boat, take Olicia and the others away quickly!"
"elder brother--"
"Stop talking, there's no time! If you drag it on, everyone will die here! Don't go to the cave, there are several small wooden boats in the bay... Take everyone and the three of them..."
Sim glanced sideways, but did not find the Youxi trio. He thought they had left them to seek refuge early, "Forget it, take your family with you and row away as quickly as possible! Row as far as you can..."
Several people looked at Sim with red eyes, feeling as if their bodies and hearts were torn apart. How could they leave their loved ones and leave?
But it was useless to stay here. The volcanic ejecta was getting closer and closer, and they could even hear the sound of burning vegetation.
"Go quickly, please, go quickly..."
"Let's go!" Finally, Uncle Chuck shouted.
Several people from the Dana family picked up their backpacks, and one person picked up the crying Olicia. The two of them grabbed Olicia's mother and ran out of the warehouse, running in panic and panic down the ramp.
Sim watched his relatives leave, and the severe pain spread again. He lay on the ground, and the sound of the explosion was getting closer and closer to his ears, and it seemed to fall on the roof next to him.
This fishing village where they have lived for generations will be completely destroyed this time, and he will be buried here together with the fishing village.
Sim closed his eyes silently.
An electric shock baton appeared behind his neck and struck him without hesitation.
Sim twitched and fainted completely.
You Xi, wearing a gas mask, appeared, instantly put the boat into the vehicle space, then effortlessly carried Sim on his shoulders, and rushed out of the warehouse in two or three steps. Under the attack of the increasingly approaching volcanic rocks,
Run towards the cliff.
Some houses around have begun to burn, and the flames are rolling around the wood and making crackling sounds. The air is filled with soot, and the firelight is dancing, illuminating everything around them.
As You Xi ran, she turned back to check. A burning volcanic stone exploded and flew towards her direction.
She accelerated again, finally rushed to the edge of the cliff, jumped, and headed towards the sea without hesitation.
The volcanic rocks exploded on the cliff, and the gravel rolled down. After entering the water, Youxi quickly surfaced, put away the gas mask, swam two meters to the side, and found the unconscious Sim under the water.
She lifted his chin and lifted him out of the water. On the side, four hands stretched out to help her pull Sim into the rubber boat.
On the rubber boat were soaked You Qi and Tang Yatong, both of whom were also wearing gas masks. They had just jumped off the cliff into the sea at You Xi's request, then swam to the rubber boat that You Xi had left behind, and paddled to
Wait for her in a safer area.
"You're not hurt, are you?" You Qi also saw the volcanic rock that fell just now. It was so close that it frightened her.
"No." Youxi climbed onto the rubber boat smoothly and immediately released the fishing boat into the water.
"Where are the others? Why didn't they come down?"
"They went to the cave from the ramp." You Xi replied, stopped talking, picked up the oar, and paddled hard.
When You Qi saw this, she knew what must have happened. She stopped questioning, and together with Tang Yatong, the three of them quickly rowed the rubber boat close to it.
You Xi relied on his good skills and borrowed a little strength from a hanging rope to climb onto the fishing boat.
She found the rope ladder on the deck, fixed it and threw it away from the boat. She climbed out of the rubber boat again, letting You Qi and Tang Yatong go up first. Then she picked up the unconscious Sim, climbed the rope ladder to retrieve the rubber boat, and climbed back into the fishing boat with the people on her back.
.
Several people had no time to speak and continued to work on their own.
You Xi first checked the fuel tank, then ran to the cockpit and started the fishing boat.
Tang Yatong and You Qi worked together to drag Sim into the cabin, then opened a compartment door, quickly took off his wet clothes inside, dried his hair and body with a towel, and put on soft, clean clothes.
Finally, Tang Yatong put away the wet clothes, took out two backpacks from the space, and carried them on their backs with You Qi.
The two came out of the cubicle. Tang Yatong took out a medical kit, half-crouched next to Sim, and began to check his legs.
You Xi had already driven his fishing boat around the cliff and headed towards the bay.
In the distance, she saw a small wooden boat rowing slowly towards the sea.
Olivia leaned in her mother's arms, crying until her body trembled. Beside her were the rest of the Dana family and Uncle Chuck.
When they descended the slope and reached the bay, they saw other villagers in the fishing village huddled in caves on the cliff opposite.
There was more than one small wooden boat in the bay. Uncle Chuck called them and told everyone to get on the boat and escape.
When a volcano erupts, the entire fishing village is within the range of the eruption, and even those under the cliff are unlikely to be spared.
What can they do if they hide in a cave? There will be no water or food, and there will be volcanic ash and falling stones everywhere, and there may even be spreading magma. They will only have a dead end...
But maybe it was because the cave gave them a sense of security that the villagers hiding inside did not move for a while until they saw the Dena family pushing the boat into the water, boarding one by one, and starting to row hard towards the sea.
Can't stand it any longer.
In fact, it's not that the villagers don't understand the principle of sitting still and waiting for death, they are just frightened by the sudden volcano, and subconsciously want to shrink into a safe space, hoping for luck.
Now when I see someone trying to escape even if they are rowing a boat, I suddenly feel uneasy.
Someone jumped over the crowd, rushed out of the cave, and ran towards the seaside with all his strength. With the first one, there was naturally a second one, a third one...
Nearly half of the villagers rushed out of the cave and ran towards the two remaining boats.
But it was still too late. With two bangs, two sudden volcanic rocks fell down, lighting up the dark night and erupting gravel on the bay. The villagers running at the front didn't even make a sound.
When he came out, he immediately fell to the ground.
The people behind them screamed in fear, their legs went weak and they fell to the ground. Some people turned around and fled back to the cave at a faster speed.
After this battle, no one dared to step out of the cave. By the firelight, they watched the Dana family and Chuck rowing away in the distance.
The erupted volcanic rocks became denser and denser, and some of them fell offshore, causing huge splashes. The Dana family never stopped, as if they would rather risk being hit by the volcanic rocks to escape.
"Faster!" On the boat, someone kept looking back at the erupting volcano while rowing with all his strength.
But their speed was still too slow, and the ejected volcanic rocks kept falling into the water behind them. They seemed to be walking on the tip of a knife.
"Daddy's boat!" Suddenly, Olicia looked up from her mother's shoulders. She pulled her mother's clothes and shouted, "It's daddy's boat! It's daddy!"
Everyone was startled and looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough they saw a familiar fishing boat.
"Oh God! How is this possible!? Was it knocked down by the air current? The ship didn't break into pieces?"
"No, that's not right! Look at the boat! It's coming towards us!"
…
A moment later, the Dana family and Uncle Chuck on the small wooden boat had all boarded the fishing boat. Everyone looked at the foreign traveler sailing the boat in shock, not understanding what was going on.
You Xi continued to drive the boat forward until it was out of the dangerous range of the jets.
You Qi and Tang Yatong were still in the cabin at the back. She took the opportunity to explain: "I don't know what happened. We were trapped by the flames of the volcanic rock explosion. Later, we jumped from the cliff and ended up in the water.
I saw this ship after swimming for a short time. By the way, there was another person in the cabin. He was still unconscious when we found him. Now my friend is taking care of him..."
Everyone:......
"It must be dad!" Olicia reacted first, turned around and ran towards the cabin.
You Xi glanced at the other people who were still in shock, and gestured in the direction of the cave: "Are you going to rescue them?"
Lifu shook off the image in his mind of those people abandoning themselves to run for their lives, and sighed: "Even if we are willing to go back to save them, it is already too late!"
You Xi knew it was too late.
The black volcanic ash has gradually passed over their fishing village and covered the bay under the slope. The burning volcanic rocks are like falling cannonballs, hitting the bay everywhere, covering the entire bay.
It's bright.
They could even see the desperate and sad faces exposed at the entrance of the cave...
This volcano is too close to the fishing village, and it is impossible for the land with a radius of several kilometers to be spared.
But those are their villagers after all. Now that she is driving someone else's boat, she must ask.
In fact, You Xi just realized that the villagers might not have time to move the fishing boats, and was ready to expose the space to save people.
After all, this is just a stop on their journey, and they won't stay long. As long as she refuses to admit it and escapes afterwards, the danger to herself can be minimized.
She didn't expect that she just took You Qi and Tang Yatong to the bushes next to the cliff, said a few words, took out and dropped the rubber boat, and let them enter the water from the cliff. They went to a safer water surface to wait for a moment, and here they were.
Such a scene happened.
When she came back, she only saw Sim resolutely sending away his relatives.
