“Is it in the back seat?”The monkey said.

“The lifebuoy can only be on the deck side or in the deck ship’s port and in the cabin, and it can’t be in the cabin, you know what I mean?”Although Qiao Xingyu's words are a little roundabout, the meaning is still easy to understand, that is, the lifeboat will not be just placed in the cabin.

“That means someone was taken away long ago?”The monkey was done by Josh.

"I think either we didn't have it, or I've been taken away," Qiao Xingyu nodded, "I bet we can't find the lifebuoy on the rest of the ships."And now the cabin can't get in again, and we can't get it even if there's a life jacket in it."

“Shit,” he cursed.

"We are looking for the rest of the ship," Chen Bin although he felt that Qiao Xingyu's analysis was not wrong, but with a mentality, he still planned to check the boats again.

As expected, there was no lifebuoy on the remaining ships.

"Old Wei, Xiao Sheng," Chen Bin pressed the call button of the intercom and shouted inside, "attention the situation around you, there may be someone nearby."

“Brother, I see the boat!”Chen suddenly shouted.

“Say the location of the ship!”Chen Bin heard the sound from the intercom, his heart was very surprised, he just judged that some people nearby just felt that it would be on land instead of sea.Chen Sheng's discovery made everyone's spirit shock, and they ran to the ship on the side of the sea.

“Northeast, can you see it?”I can only see a little dot on my side, but it's moving."

Chen Bin and others stood on the deck of the cargo ship, the position was higher than the sand ship, and the field of view was wider.

On the sea outside the mouth of the river, you can see a small black spot moving slowly.Chen Bin knew that the ship looked small and very slow, but it must not be, but it was only because of the reason for the distance.

“Maybe it’s a wise man!”Qiao Xingyu reacted at once, the ship is at sea, and the location is the northeast direction, according to his not very good geographical knowledge, he vaguely remembers that is the location of Chongming Island.

The sound of the cry for help did not come out in the throat, and in the end it only turned into a sigh.Chen Bin knew that at such a distance, and there was a sea breeze outside the estuary, even if the sound of his own shouting was ten times larger.

“The fire?”Chen Bin wanted to attract the attention of the ship, and his mind flashed, and immediately thought of the idea.But looking up, there was nothing on the ship that could burn.

The black spot disappeared in the sky, and everyone had some regrets in their hearts.Chen Bin packed up his mood and encouraged everyone, "It's good to see the ship, at least you can further confirm the news that Uncle Qi told us."

"You're right," Qiao Xingyu also understood Chen Bin's meaning and knew that the moment was not a time to be negative.

“Without lifebuoys and life jackets, let the boat go ashore, and not too fast.”

"Well," saw that Chen Bin had a decision, and everyone followed him back to the sand boat.

"Old Wei, stick to the shore and go north," because the Chongming three islands on the map are at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the area of Songhu City on land is on the southern shore of the Yangtze River, so Chen Bin decided that everyone will pass in the direction of the north, and the riverbank on that side will be closer to the Chongming Island.

The sand boat carefully sails to the shore, where a trestle bridge can be seen every few kilometers, and from time to time there will be some buildings such as factories on the shore.

There were hardly any boats visible to the trespass outside the estuary, and the river surface became empty.The cold wind kept pouring into the collar of the man who squatted in the bow, but no one hid in the cockpit except Wei Qiming, who was driving the boat.

We kept watching in the direction of the sand ship, hoping that some discoveries could be made.Each person observes different directions to make sure there is no omission.

In addition to the wind and the vast river on the river, it seems that there are no other moving things.The sand boat walks slowly along the shore, and every time a trestle appears in front of the bridge, everyone will observe the situation on the shore.Because in the understanding of Chen Bin and others, as long as the ship comes over Chongming Three Islands, it will inevitably choose the trestle or dock suitable for berthing.

The situation on the shore was a little disappointing, and after the ship crossed several trestle bridges, everyone found nothing nearby.

“Is that how we left ourselves?”Chen Bin's heart grunted, he asked Chen Sheng, "can the drone be released now?"

"I'm afraid not," Chen Sheng did not have to reach out his hand to feel the river wind on the shore, and the previous inland river is different, the wind here suddenly a lot bigger, the difficulty of drone control in the air will increase sharply.

"Okay," Chen Bin still trusts Chen Sheng's judgment, and since he is not sure, it is certainly not suitable for letting the drone out.

At this moment, the sand ship has sailed into the mouth of the Yangtze River, everyone can observe with the naked eye, if there is a boat on the river surface, it is not difficult to find, but the situation on the shore is either blocked by the building or hidden behind the trees.

"If nothing is found today, we will return to the ship to install a smoking device," Qiao Xingyu thought of a way, "when we are looking for someone, we can also let people find us."

"That's a good idea," Chen Bin nodded, "the river is windy, and the effect of the smoke screen is much better than the sound."

“What are these walls?”Chen Sheng pointed to the steep walls of the coast made of stone and strips of stone, and asked curiously.

"This is the seapond," Wang Ping ran more in the suburbs, quite aware of this thing, "belongs to the tide dam, the coastal areas of our country are more common."

“We’re here, why are there some places and some don’t?”Chen Xing continued to ask.

"Not very clear."Wang Ping's previous work was as a journalist, not a professional in water conservancy, so he couldn't answer this more in-depth question just asked by Chen Sheng.

"Not far ahead is coming to the Shuogu Yangtze River Tunnel," Qiao Xingyu looked at the front of the bow and stared there.

"The waves on the river surface are gushing, and the wheels are rolling under the river," Wang Ping unconsciously recalled a sentence in the press release he had originally written for the tunnel.

"This tunnel is very interesting," Qiao Xingyu said, "belonging to the "South Tunnel North Bridge" project, which includes the Songhu Yangtze River Bridge and the Yangtze River Tunnel.It passes through the waters of the southern port of the Yangtze River by tunnel and crosses the waters of the northern port of the Yangtze River by a bridge.”

Seeing that everyone is not very understanding except Wang Ping, Qiao Xingyu further explained, "From this side of the Hudong New Area to Chongming Island, you have to pass through the middle of Changxing Island, the passage connecting Changxing Island in the East New District is the Yangtze River Tunnel, and the passage connecting Chongming Island on the other side of Changxing Island is the Yangtze River Bridge."

"Hey, that's fine," said the monkey, patting his thighs, "let the old Wei get to the shore of the tunnel, and let's go up and find a car to drive through the tunnel."

“It’s as simple as that,” Qiao Xingyu smiled, “my personal opinion is that the probability of passage in the tunnel is almost zero.”

“Why?”The monkey was puzzled, he had never been here, and he did not know what was going on in the tunnel.

"Uncle Qi said before Chongming's boat went to the old house of Huajia, and we had seen the ship shadow on the sea before, I concluded that Chongming Island's external means of transportation is absolutely mainly by boats, and the Yangtze River Bridge still has hope of dredging, but the bottom tunnel is not possible."

“The tunnel is a few dozen meters below the surface of the water, and if it is before the disaster, it is easy to rely on the power of the government to dredge it, but today it is different from the past.”When a disaster strikes, the traffic into or out of the island must be very chaotic, the traffic channels such as tunnel bridges will certainly be very congested, it is better to push the car down to the river or river when dredging, but the clean-up work inside the tunnel will be ten times more difficult than outside."Qiao Xingyu continued, "And if you go over the road, it is very dangerous, even if the tunnel is through, who knows what is waiting for us inside or on the other side of it?"

Chen Bin nodded, Qiao Xingyu's analysis of the tunnel ahead was very thorough, and they came out this time with six or seven people, and the long journey on land was tantamount to looking for death.If it had not been for the flow of the river and Yanghe River, it would not have been possible for everyone to come so far from the detention center.

Of course, walking to the sea today marks the first step in their search for a refuge.Chen Bin also wanted to understand on the way just now that this kind of thing needs to see the opportunity, God has let Deng Wuqi bring Chongming news to him, the rest is to see his ability and patience.

Things that can't be done overnight can't be forced, they still have time and space, as long as every step is down to earth, I hope it looks great.

"Now we are above the head of the tunnel," the ship continued for a distance, and Qiao Xingyu took the deck of the sand-swinging ship with his feet, and he had already seen the conspicuous tunnel entrance on the shore.

“Can you really build a tunnel under the water?”The monkey still felt a little incredible, he knelt on the side of the ship and looked at the river, but the sight was blocked by the turbid river.

"Of course, you may not believe it when it comes to infrastructure, but I will tell you responsibly that at this point, China can say to all the countries in the world, 'I am not against anyone, I mean that all of you here are rubbish.'"Qiao Xingyu quoted a line from a movie to express his meaning, "and the South China Sea's 'nature's magic work' ah."

“We don’t produce islands, we’re just nature’s porters?”Chen Bin was amused by Qiao Xingyu's words, and he understood both of the two stalks that Qiao Xingyu said, so he also borrowed a slogan to echo it.
