Starting from the recovery of Shanhaijing

Chapter 44 Worm Swarm

After crashing the ship, the monster, whose emotions were vented, dived into the sea of ​​sand again.

Without the impact of the outside world, the shattered hull barely stabilized.

Although it still maintains a certain inclination angle, it is not perpendicular to the sand sea at any rate, and there is no risk of direct overturning.

Relying on her strong physical fitness, Yan Jing forcibly resisted the impact and was not directly thrown out.

At this time, he was already at the height of the second half of the ship, hanging on the edge of the roof.

Looking down, a part of the stern area has sunk into the sea of ​​sand.

The two lifeboats have disappeared, and only some lucky passengers are left holding some cargo floating on the sandy sea.

In addition, a lifeboat survived by accident nearby. Standing on a high place, Yan Jing could clearly see that the two people on the boat seemed to have avoided the impact in advance, and there were still two packages piled up inside the boat.

Foresee danger in advance?

With both arms strong, the whole body rose upwards, Yan Jing turned around in the air, and sat on the edge of the sloping roof of the captain's cabin.

The first task requires Yan Jing to survive until the arrival of the research ship.

This means that a ship will definitely pass by later and will lend a helping hand to them.

What Yan Jing has to do now is to wait here.

Fortunately, this type of ship sailing on the sandy sea has obviously undergone special modifications. In addition, the density of the sandy sea does not seem to be low, and the sinking speed of the ship is slower than Yan Jing expected.

As long as Yan Jing maintains her current state, she can easily last for a while.

However, just when Yan Jing was planning to change to a more comfortable position and avoid the scorching sun along the way, the cry for help from under his feet caught his attention.

"Help! Help. Help me! There are monsters in the sand sea!"

The person who called for help was a middle-aged woman. She was lying on a wooden board not far from the stern of the boat. She was ups and downs in the sand sea, as if she would be directly submerged by the rolled up sand waves in a second.

She could see Yan Jing's position when she looked up, so she subconsciously called for help.

I thought that the monster she was yelling was the giant rampaging monster just now, but unexpectedly, Yan Jing looked in the direction indicated by her raised arm, and happened to see a large number of python-like monsters in the sand sea hundreds of meters away. The monster takes shape.

The tan body is arched in the sand. At first glance, it looks like dozens of huge tires are piled up in the sand sea, but they are constantly rotating and moving forward. At this speed, they will come soon. to the neighborhood.

Yan Jing took action decisively.

He didn't care about just how many people died.

The trouble is that if too many of these people die, and the bloody smell spreads, maybe something will be attracted.
At this time, I was watching from the sidelines, and I had to be the one who cried at that time.

Of course, there are ways to save people.

Yan Jing wasn't sure about the strength of the monsters in this world, jumping off the boat would definitely be looking for death, so she looked around and locked her eyes on the ropes that were originally used to fix the sails wrapped around the ship's side.

The mast carrying the sail had been broken in the previous collision, and these ropes were used as a rescue tool.

Standing up and stepping on the edge, he jumped out at the right time, landed directly beside the ship's side, bent down to pick up a large bundle of ropes, first tied a loose buckle on one end, and then moved down.

Since the rear half of the ship maintains an inclined angle with the sand sea, although it cannot be said to be hanging upside down, it is obviously impossible to stand firm and walk down. Even Yan Jing can only move down slowly while holding on to the side of the ship. .

The sinking of the stern continued, and the flowing gravel was like an insatiable monster, crushing and swallowing the hull piece by piece.

"I'll throw the rope over later and put it under the armpit, can you hear me?"

Yan Jing didn't expect the middle-aged woman to just grab the other end of the rope and escape, so she shouted loudly.

The distance between the two sides was not far, and Yan Jing moved until he stabilized his feet behind a pile of cargo boxes near the stern before throwing the rope.

The power that human beings can unleash in order to survive is enormous, and that woman was no exception. She put the rope on her body as soon as she grabbed the rope.

With Yan Jing's strength, it is not difficult to drag a person up. Seeing that the other party is ready, it is like fishing. He lifts the middle-aged woman out of the sea of ​​sand with two or three strokes, and then grabs her clothes and throws her into the sea. Near the side of the ship's side,

"Go up the side of the ship, the higher the better!"

At this time, many survivors around had noticed the approach of the group of monsters, and there were cries for help one after another. Yan Jing couldn't save everyone at once, so he could only follow the principle of proximity and pull up from the nearest ones first.

Gu~lu~
Not long after, there was a faint rhythmic humming sound in the wind and sand.

At this time, Yan Jing had just dragged the eighth person, and the survivors who managed to escape thanked him in one voice, but his gaze was first cast in the direction of the sound.

He saw three people lying on the cargo box floating tens of meters away, which is a distance that is difficult to reach with ropes. Those people almost knew this, so they turned to the only one nearby after they realized the danger was approaching. A lifeboat called for help, hoping that the people on board could give them a hand.

But the next scene made Yan Jing frown.

I saw that the two people on the lifeboat not only had no intention of rescuing people, but one of them was still throwing something at the place where the caller was, and the other was using his oars to stay away from that area, and then went directly to the cabin Shrinking, completely silent.

Seeing that no one came to rescue, the wailing of the people on the cargo box became louder.

It wasn't until the buzzing sound approached that they all stopped shouting at the same time, desperately trying to climb up the cargo box to let their legs leave the hot sand sea.

Yan Jing stood near the stern of the ship, watching them, to be exact, the worm mouthparts full of sharp teeth behind them.

Those "boa constrictors" that shuttled in the sand sea finally appeared. They were like earthworms with mouthparts, coiling forward.

Wherever it passes, devour all living things!
The approach of the worm swarm forced Yan Jing to stop the rescue operation.

The eight people who had been rescued before had all climbed to the height of the rear half of the ship, temporarily out of danger.

However, far more than these people were killed.

They had been thrown away by the previous impact, barely surviving on various debris that fell from the ship.

Due to the distance from the ship, it was difficult to return for a while, and Yan Jing could not be rescued.

Originally, these people could still support themselves for a while by relying on debris floating on the sandy sea. If they were lucky, they might be able to wait until the arrival of the research ship.

However, the arrival of the worm swarm completely put them in a desperate situation.

In the face of the terrifying worms that can freely shuttle in the sand sea, it is not that no one shouted not to move and make noise. These worms have no eyes and cannot sense stationary objects.

The problem is that in the turbulent sea of ​​sand, who can really stay still in the face of the "worm forest" that is less than ten meters apart?

Fear overwhelmed everything.

Some people just gave up the debris they were relying on and swam frantically to the rear half of the broken ship where Yan Jing was. There were also people who were originally guards on the ship, holding a strangely shaped pistol in their hands, and kept pulling the trigger, trying to disperse these people. worm.

The ending is needless to say.

　New week begins.
