Chapter 1719 Road to the Sky(1/2)
Shihua found that he did not know this strange ocean at all.
"Huh! So hot!"
She poked her head out of the sea, and the scorching sun above her head was almost within reach, making her eyes almost unable to open.
Where is this?
She turned 360 degrees in place and looked around in all directions, but no matter where she was the sea and the sky were the same, and she could not see the shadow of the land.
The temperature of the sea water is very high, just like being in the tropical area on the globe that Zhang Zi'an brought her. This is of course her guess, because she has never been to the real tropics and does not know how high the temperature of the tropical ocean is, but it almost catches the temperature of the small lakes in the Egyptian desert oasis.
When she was in her narrow bathtub, she yearned for the sea all the time... Well, this is an exaggeration. After all, she couldn't charge her mobile phone in the sea, and she is now seriously addicted to mobile phones.
She always claimed that the sea was her home, but now she was in the vast sea, but she was inexplicably panicked.
Maybe it’s because I don’t have a cell phone that depends on her?
This is definitely one of the reasons. Just like an ordinary person forgets to bring his mobile phone when he goes out for a trip, he feels "dummy" in his heart, and he is depressed and helpless. After all, it is almost impossible to go out without a mobile phone when he goes out, and it is better to stay at home if you have no fun.
Another reason...
Shihua has never left the coastline so far. Since she appeared in the world, she has basically been moving on the coast, traveling south from Nordic coastline. Even if she occasionally leaves the coast a little farther away, at least she knows where the coast is and where she can go to get back to the beach.
And now, she didn't even know where she was on the earth, and secretly regretted not studying the globe seriously.
Could it be that...she thinks she prefers the ocean, but in fact she prefers the seaside? What can bring her a sense of security is still solid land?
"I'm not afraid of the sea."
She shook her hair and tried to drive away distracting thoughts from her brain.
"It must be because it's too hot... Why is it so hot?"
The temperature of the sea water is not like swimming, but like taking a bath, making her body soft.
She covered her eyes with her hands and carefully observed the position of the sun. She wanted to judge the direction based on the sun's trajectory. She still understood the rules of rising and falling east and west, but she had been in this strange ocean for a long time. The sun seemed to be nailed to the sky, motionless.
At this time, a shadow floated from the sky.
"here we go again……"
Shihua frowned, "What kind of disgusting thing is that... If only the stingy ghost is here, you can ask him..."
The shadow was not a dark cloud. At first she thought it was a dark cloud and swam happily. If there was a heavy rain, it would at least be cooler. However, when she swam closer, she was frightened to find that it was not a dark cloud, but a dark red sea water like rust.
The red sea water kept pouring in, and the speed was very slow, but it was overwhelming and could not see the edges from left to right.
As the red sea water gradually approached, Shihua felt that his body was sticky, as if it was stained with some kind of disgusting mucus, and it also emitted a strange smell, making it difficult to breathe.
She grabbed a handful of water and put it in front of her eyes and looked carefully, it looked like some kind of seaweed.
Faced with unknown things, Shihua quickly turned around and swam in the opposite direction, swimming very quickly, trying to get as far away as possible from the red sea water, and use clean sea water to wash away the mucus on her body. She swam far away in one breath, thinking she had been thrown away, but she was caught up again not long after.
She remembered the story of the tortoise and hare racing. Although the turtle ran very slowly, if it kept running, it would sooner or later catch up with the running rabbit.
What worries her even more is whether she is getting farther and farther away from the coastline after she has been running blindly like this?
In another strange place, she swam for so long, but she had never encountered a fish in the sea, without any fish. The sea was empty, like a fish tank without fish.
It is not a solution to escape like this. Although she doesn't need to eat, her physical strength is limited, and she also needs to sleep. She is now drowsy under the scorching sun. It is entirely possible that she is quietly caught up and surrounded by red sea water during her sleep. When she wakes up, the surroundings may be covered with blood red... She may even be unable to wake up again, wrapped in disgusting mucus, and suffocated to death without realizing it.
Land must be found as soon as possible.
But in which direction is the land?
The earth is round, maybe you can choose a direction and swim around and one day you will arrive on land, but before that she may have been exhausted.
Besides, what if red sea water surges across the street?
Shihua floated helplessly on the sea. When she was playing in the sea, she would always deliberately avoid other humans' sights, but now she doesn't care about anything. It's better to just come to someone. Can you tell her where the land is?
Not to mention human figures at sea, there is not even a ship figure, and no planes fly over the sky.
No one, no boat, no fish, no plane, only the boundless red sea water continues to spread... What kind of world is this!
Being scorched by the hot sun, she had been spinning for countless rounds, trying to find a life-saving straw. She felt that her brain was about to be melted, but she found nothing.
She had almost frozen to death in the cold Baltic Sea. Is she going to be cooked by this haunted sea water now?
She fell into deeper and deeper despair, and wanted to cry with grievance. Everyone in the pet shop usually had to coax her. When she lost her temper, she always pretended to cry, but now even if she cried her throat, who could hear it?
You can't cry, now is not the time to cry.
She wiped the corners of her eyes and tried to cheer up.
What would he do if the stingy Zhang Zi'an was here?
She racked her brains to think, trying to make herself think in his mode, which was difficult, after all, his way of thinking was also considered strange among humans.
She remembered her journey to the mahogany forest not long ago, and suddenly she had an idea and would the situation be slightly better at the bottom of the sea?
On the west coast of the United States, she dived underwater, found an undercurrent that was not visible on the sea, and rescued Megan, who was almost drowned, otherwise there would be another broken foot of unknown origin at the junction of the United States and Canada.
No matter how hot or cold the sea water is, the undercurrent may be completely different temperatures, and the undercurrent is often very fast, which will bring things involved in the undercurrent to other places. This may mean danger to humans, but she can breathe underwater. If she can find an undercurrent, wouldn’t it be like taking a free ride?
"Goodbye, damn sun!"
She gestured to the sun and showed her middle finger. She learned this from netizens in the live broadcast room, although she was not sure what the gesture meant.
She shook the strong fish tail, and splashed high waves on her head and tail, and rushed towards the seabed almost vertically.
She didn't notice that the next moment she began to swimmer, almost coincided with the sun, a slightly flickering ball of light floated down, and followed her into the water, following her far behind her.
Before, the light ball was shrouded by the sun's light, and no one dared to look directly at the sun, so Shihua never noticed the light ball.
The deeper the water, the darker the light.
After swimming for a while, she saw a faint reflection under the water.
Have you reached the bottom of the sea?
She thought the reflection was the reflection of the fine sand under the sea, but when she swam closer, she was shocked and a series of bubbles emerged from her mouth and nose.
That's...what the hell?
Shihua stared at the seabed in horror. It was a human city sunk underwater.
For a moment, she was so nervous that she almost forgot to breathe, fearing that she would recognize the familiar landmark building from that city, because she was only familiar with one city.
She wanted to see but didn't dare to look. She hesitated for a long time before she plucked up the courage to continue to sink.
In the dim light, the city looked like a gloomy tomb, dead.
She glared for a while, finally breathed a sigh of relief and almost exhausted.
It was not Binhai City, nor was it Nordic Europe, where she had met once. The cities in Egypt or San Francisco were far inferior to those cities in terms of scale and momentum. It seemed very shabby, and the architectural style was obviously not the style of the Chinese, American, European and Egypt. There were temples of all sizes everywhere, but there were not many tall buildings.
She was relieved if it wasn't Binhai City.
This sunken city was so gloomy and terrifying that drowned ghosts might be floating in the streets and alleys, and she didn't dare to get close to it.
She felt an undercurrent pass by her feet at a high speed, immediately swung her tail, and threw herself into the undercurrent.
The undercurrent was indeed very cool. She took her effortlessly across mountains and rivers, and soon left the sunken city and red sea water behind.
Shihua's physical strength was restored, and she noticed one thing: the terrain on the seabed is very complicated, with stretched seabed mountains and trenches everywhere, but overall, one side has a high terrain and a low terrain on the other.
If you keep swimming upwards, can you find land?
She thought about it carefully and felt that this idea should be correct, so she broke free from the undercurrent and swam towards the direction with a high terrain. If she encountered other undercurrents with similar directions on the road, she would take a ride for a while.
Several other cities that sank under the sea appeared one after another, smaller in scale than the previous one and more like towns.
She was nervous. Why were these cities sinking underwater? What exactly happened?
She couldn't figure it out, and she was even more eager to find land, Binhai City, and caught the stingy man and let him explain it.
Fortunately, her judgment seemed to be correct. The terrain at the bottom of the sea was getting higher and higher and closer to the sea. As long as you persist, you will definitely not be able to reach the land in a long time.
Just half swam and half ride a ride. After a long time, she saw the underwater mountain range in front of her climb up sharply and above the sea.
Finally found the land!
She almost cried with joy, escaped from the undercurrent, and swam there as fast as possible.
land!
When she floated over the Shanghai area, she saw a solid land, bare and without a single tree, and some gray-white fish bones on the shore, which broke into powder as soon as they touched them.
She was almost exhausted and was about to snatch the shore and take a good rest, when she saw the red redness of the undisturbed soul from the corner of her eyes.
The red sea water caught up again. Although it may not be the same as before, it is no different.
Shihua looked around in panic and vaguely saw something like a stone tablet standing not far from the shore, with words written on it, but I couldn't see clearly.
Perhaps, the stone tablet says what this place is. If that were the case, she might be able to find the direction of Binhai City.
She had only two choices, either flee here immediately before being surrounded by red sea water, or go ashore.
She didn't want to escape anymore, and her endless escape had already made her increasingly disheartened.
If you can never return to Binhai City...
She leaned on the stones on the shore with both hands, used all her strength, and then took advantage of the momentum to roll, allowing her whole body to leave the sea and roll onto the land.
To be continued...
