Chapter 132 Slums
The irregular, almost rectangular floating platform is used to piece together the wreckage and garbage.
The surface of the platform, metal plates, wood, plastic, and fabric are randomly assembled together, which is no different from the slums in some poor places before the end of the world.
At the center of the platform, there is a lonely chimney with black smoke low and it seems to be connected to the power unit of the platform.
People with different skin colors but all show vicissitudes and sufferings are living on the platform. Slim boats shuttle through the platform and the sea, using extremely primitive tools to try to catch some precious food in the ocean currents.
I thought that some kind of small fish that I met was very lucky, and when the fishing boats were about to show off their skills, the shadow of the whales appeared on the nearby sea.
At this time, people feel powerless when facing nature is fully displayed, when most small fishing boats strive to return to the floating platform.
Perhaps the young man who could not bear this desperate life turned the other way, and rowed a small boat desperately in the direction of the whale.
This is a tragic song of human survival in the end of the world.
The people on the platform were not numb. They wanted to do something after seeing this, and even a small boat began to try to turn around and return.
But manpower is so weak in front of marine overlords like the sea and whales.
"Oh my goodness!"
Various languages, various prayers, and the same despair spread on the platform.
On the small boat that rushed towards the whales, the young man closed his eyes, as if waiting for the arrival of relief.
Boom ~
Two fighter jets whizzed by at a low altitude and broke through the sound barrier in a short period of time. The sonic boom passed through the interface between the sea and the sky, causing the originally orderly whale group to wander.
The fighter planes crossed and adjusted their direction, dived down from the sky again, and continued to drive away the whale group with a sonic boom.
However, such actions did not inspire the people on the platform.
They became even more trepidated.
After experiencing countless sufferings, these group of remnants of the end of the world can no longer tell whether it is nature or some human beings that are even more terrifying.
"The whale group has begun to leave! We have succeeded! These people should thank us! Haha, I will definitely be praised when I go back."
"Don't be too happy too early. I just took a look, but those people didn't express any gratitude at all..."
"Tsk, go back!"
These two fighter jets, similar to the former "Flanker" fighter jet, made two fallen leaves floating in the air and flew towards the mothership.
The powerful ark fleet of aircraft carrier battle groups with great confidence and pride has now been renamed the Red Dragon Combined Fleet, and its scale has reached eight ships at this time.
The flagship is the former Red Dragon Fleet No. 1 ship, and has now been upgraded to the arsenal ship's "Dongfeng".
The core aircraft carrier of the battle group, once the Noord Fleet's No. 1, already owns the "Civilization" of a brand new advanced hangar.
It is being transformed into a second aircraft carrier, the former Nord Fleet II, and now the "Mission".
Comprehensively strengthen as a reserve command ship, the former Nord Fleet No. 3, and now the "Hope".
Two multi-function destroyers, one big and one small, are responsible for air defense and anti-submarine missions, the "Chun Breeze" and the "Autumn Moon".
A 1,000-ton conventional powered submarine, the "White Tiger" that undertakes the underwater defense mission of the fleet.
A comprehensive auxiliary supply ship, a "partner" specializing in miscellaneous work.
When you could see that "slum", Lu Yu, who was dressed in work clothes, issued an order to slow down the fleet and adjust the formation.
Although the fleet ships have seen the information, it is a bit incredible to see this slum with their own eyes with a telescope.
"How did these people survive?"
"We'd better not get close to them. I think the waves of the fleet sailing are enough to overturn them..."
———
The four small transport ships, except Lu Yu, Nord and dozens of entourages, were loaded with fresh water, grain, and medicine, sailed to the platform at full speed from several kilometers away.
However, when approaching, the transport ship's driving team had to remind: "Master, this platform looks very fragile, and our small transport ship cannot even dock."
"Then let's go up." Lu Yu was inexplicably close to this 'slum' and said he would go up and take a look.
"Daniel, I think this kind of place is very dangerous. It's better to let the Marines go up first." Nord could not help but frown when he smelled the strange smell from the platform from afar.
Lu Yu smiled and waved his hand: "Don't scare these poor people, the medical team members and photographers follow me first."
The process of boarding the platform seemed too smooth. When Lu Yu and others appeared, the people on the platform did not dare to make any moves. Many people tried their best to hide, and even soaked in the sea.
After Lu Yu boarded the platform, Nord had to bring the rest of the people to carry things up.
Seeing that these people have different body hair characteristics, Lu Yu could only try to shout: "Membersman?"
Unexpectedly, the word "membersman" was said, and an old man who was originally hiding in the crowd on guard actually rolled out of the crowd and came to Lu Yu with a hunched over: "Who are you?"
The old man spoke Mandarin with a strong accent. It seemed that he had not spoken well for too long. He spoke every word very hard.
"I am the commander of the Red Dragon Fleet, Lu Yu. We sailed all the way and discovered your existence, so come and take a look.
It seems that you are having a hard time!
At the end of the world, every survivor is precious. Don’t worry, we will definitely help you!
Come, let all those who are hiding come out, don’t be afraid, we brought food, fresh water and medicine, and a medical team!”
As he said that, Lu Yu greeted the medical team beside him, with red cross armbands on their arms.
The Red Cross also ignited trust and hope for survivors on the platform.
"My fellow villager, your leg seems to be injured. Let me check it for you."
When the blonde and blue-eyed female health worker spoke fluent Mandarin and took the initiative to check her injuries, the old man's eyes were shocked first, and then he watched Lu Yu leave two lines of tears.
The medical services of the medical team, as well as the food and water distributed, quickly put the survivors on the platform down.
With the help of these people, the manpower brought by Lu Yu also began to change.
Survivors in the ‘slum’ are really too hard!
Almost every one of them has more or less injuries.
Many injuries should not be problems, but due to lack of medical treatment and living in a harsh environment, they actually became abscessful and crawled with maggots...
There are also some young children, perhaps because of the environment, who have lost their basic language skills in the grades they should have entered.
How long has it been?!
