Global Catastrophic Disaster: Start Building Noah's Ark

Chapter 160 I would rather die standing than live on my knees

The renewed mention of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere ignited a blazing fire of nationalism in the hearts of the officers present.

Yes, this country no longer exists. The living environment on the island is harsh, and the land on the Chinese mainland is the best place to survive.

It is a hot land that generations of people have dreamed of!

Everyone's faces regained some energy.

"Yamato-kun is right. Continuing to wander around like this is not the answer. Establishing a base in the Chinese mainland is the way out!" Someone agreed.

"Yes, with Commander Haneda leading us, we will definitely be able to regain our glory!"

"We all listen to Chief Haneda!"

…

Others spoke one after another.

Haneda nodded with great satisfaction, trying to gather people's hearts again and boost their morale, so that they could firmly control this group of people.

"Everyone is hungry. Let's share the last bit of food. We will land when we get close to the port city!"

Inoue Yamato responded, stood up from the ground, and went to the warehouse to get the last package of dry food.

This large package of compressed biscuits was divided into three parts, and the other two parts were transported via cables to the two amphibious transport ships at the back door.

There are more than thirty people on board the two ships at the back door.

The last portion of compressed dry food was taken back to the cabin and distributed to all the officers. Only one person was left with a small package, and each package contained only two compressed biscuits.

This is everyone’s meal for the last two days!

Haneda Nobunaga tore open the package, feeling extremely thirsty, his throat was already uncomfortable, and his lips were chapped. Then he looked at the dry compressed biscuits in his hand...

This biscuit originally required drinking water to be eaten, but now it can only be eaten dry.

Haneda Nobunaga took a small bite with his teeth, and the dense powder entered his mouth. He could only taste the strange smell of compressed biscuits. In addition, it was already frozen and hard, and the texture was simply unpleasant.

This is the most disgusting thing he has ever eaten in his life!

But there was no other way to fill his stomach, so he had to swallow it forcefully.

If there is no fresh water, I will have to drink my own urine!

Haneda Nobunaga had to prepare for the worst!

Suddenly, a "didi-didi--" sound came from the cabin.

This is the sound of other signals being received by the radio station.

"Hey, there seems to be other radio signals at sea!" Inoue Yamato stood up immediately and said in shock.

Others also stood up in surprise. They had not seen any other living people for a long time. Now a new radio appeared, indicating that there must be other people on the sea!

Haneda Nobunaga returned to the command room and turned on the received radio signal, which contained a distress signal in English.

Someone is asking for help on the sea?

A sinister smile appeared on Haneda Nobunaga's lips, wanting to see who was asking for help.

If there is food, that would be the best. If there is no food... we can only use them as food!

"The signal is nearby, not far from us. Drive in the direction of signal reception." Haneda Nobunaga ordered.

The warship with only one diesel engine left began to slowly approach the direction of the signal. It took them more than three hours to see a small cargo ship of 3,000 tons in front of them.

"Use the radio to tell them to come out and surrender, or they will be sunk on the spot!" Haneda Nobunaga said coldly.

"Hey, yes!" Iyama Yamato immediately used the radio to point and transmit the signal.

"Everyone on the ship, listen, we are a big navy! Come out and surrender immediately, or we will sink it immediately!"

A small cargo ship of 3,000 tons is just a fish on the chopping board in front of a King Kong-class warship!

…

At this time, there were still a group of survivors in the cabin of the cargo ship, including men and women, a total of twenty people.

These survivors put on various types of clothes, and the four of them were covered with a quilt and huddled in the corner of the cabin, shivering from the cold.

In an extremely cold climate, without heating on the ship, it is no different than standing outside. Except that there is no cold wind blowing on the face, the temperature is still as cold, and it is minus 30 degrees indoors.

A man and a woman were in front of the radio station, mechanically transmitting distress signals.

"Didi-di-di-!" A voice rang out from the radio station. The woman was overjoyed. There was finally a response!

Very good!

What a blessing from God!

The man next to him also became excited for a moment, "Listen to it!"

The woman's face suddenly changed as she listened to the returned information through the monitoring earphone.

"Dean, no, he's from Benzi country!"

The woman turned to look at an old man in his fifties not far behind her. This old man looked gray-haired, but had a strong body. He actually looked a bit stronger than other young people. It could be seen that he exercised regularly.

"People from Benzi country? Luo Ying, what did they say?" Fang Tai asked after pondering for a moment.

"They said... if we don't go out and surrender, they will sink our ship immediately!" The woman named Luo Ying said in a low voice.

When everyone in the cabin heard the news, their expressions changed. They did not expect to encounter Benzi's warship appearing in the Chinese waters!

This is not good news!

In the apocalypse, without the constraints of law and morality, who knows what they will do?

Now I can't even run away. The opponent is a warship, and I am just a cargo ship, and the engine is broken. I can only let it drift, with no way to escape!

For a moment, the cabin fell into extreme silence, a dead silence.

After a long silence, the man next to Luo Ying suddenly said: "Teacher, let's go out, nothing will happen to you..."

"If we don't go out, they will definitely sink our ship, and then..."

Everyone looked at Fang Tai, yes, anyone here can die, but Fang Tai cannot die, because he is China's top scientist, the dean of the Gene Research Institute, and the leader and teacher of everyone!

If he dies, it will be a great loss to China and global science!

Fang Tai shook his head and smiled bitterly, with a somewhat sad look on his face, "Lin Shi, it's the end of the world, no one can die, and I am the same. I am a bad old man who only survived because of your care. Life and death." It’s no longer important to me.”

"But...I want to tell you that the dignity of scientists is very important!"

"Although I am old, this bone is still strong enough. It cannot be bent or broken."

"I would rather die standing than live on my knees!"

"The National Guard is a stronghold of the extreme right wing. If you fall into their hands, you will definitely not get any benefits. Don't expect them to lend a helping hand!"

"The so-called people who know small etiquette but have no great righteousness!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard what Fang Tai said.

Yes, if the warships of our country intend to rescue, they will not reply with threats and warnings such as "If they do not surrender, they will be sunk immediately."

It is clear that they have treated this ship as a piece of fish on the chopping board and let them slaughter it!

If it falls into their hands, I'm afraid it's over!

It ranges from enslavement and humiliation, to severe torture and killing for fun!
