297: Megatsunamis

Jiang Fei used a radiation detector to test the seawater.

The hourly radiation value was between 0.09 and 0.1 microsieverts, which is within the safe range.

It wasn't as severe as Mo Yanan had initially said.

Could it be due to the influence of the polar day?

Unable to figure it out, Jiang Fei returned to the Supermarket with the jet ski.

Lu Yu was the first to run over and check Jiang Fei's body.

After confirming that she was not injured, he asked:

"Why were you gone for so long?"

Xiao Chuxia: "Miss, you've been out for four or five hours. Is the situation outside very serious?"

"There's seawater everywhere." Jiang Fei told the two everything she had seen.

"Although the radiation value is within the safe range, to be on the safe side, we'll take anti-cancer medicine before going out."

Taking off her oxygen tank and protective suit, Jiang Fei retrieved the anti-cancer medicine developed by the Underground City, along with a few bottles of drinking water, and distributed them to Lu Yu and Xiao Chuxia.

The medicine box contained instructions.

One tablet at a time, one dose lasts a lifetime, and it can prevent 70% of cancers.

After taking the medicine, Jiang Fei locked Big Yellow in the cat villa, then took Lu Yu and Xiao Chuxia onto the yacht, and together they exited the Supermarket.

Even though they were mentally prepared, both of them were stunned when they saw the vast ocean.

Three days ago, this place was still land, but now it had turned into an ocean.

The only things that hadn't changed were the sun, suspended high in the sky and not setting, and the scorching high temperatures.

"Miss, are we still in Changhai...?"

Jiang Fei: "Yes, I've tested it before. Every time I exit the Supermarket, I return to the position I was in before entering."

"Even if there's a deviation, it won't exceed one meter."

Lu Yu's expression was solemn: "The closest sea area to Changhai is only the sea near Yucheng."

"Logically, a tsunami in Yucheng shouldn't affect Changhai, much less submerge all the land."

"Unless this was a global-scale super tsunami."

"Then what about Kyoto Base...?" Xiao Chuxia suddenly fell silent.

No need to ask; if it was global, Kyoto Base wouldn't escape either.

Jiang Fei and Lu Yu were equally heavy-hearted.

"Regardless, the top priority is to go back first." Jiang Fei looked at Lu Yu:

"Can you navigate at sea?"

Lu Yu hesitated, which was rare for him: "I can only try."

"I once spent some time at sea and learned a lot from the crew. Even without electronic charts, I can determine direction by the sunrise and sunset."

"But now the sun's position doesn't change, so I can't determine the exact direction."

"If I had a domestic map and a compass, it would be more accurate."

"I'll look for them." Jiang Fei used her mind to check the Supermarket warehouse.

After searching for a long time, she found a domestic map, a compass, and also a protractor, compass, ruler, pencil, and other tools for drawing sailing routes.

They were all things she had hoarded from 0-yuan purchases before.

She took them out and handed them to Lu Yu.

Then, taking out two large boxes of solar panels, Jiang Fei and the other two went to connect them to the yacht's power.

The yacht was powered by an onboard generator, which consumed a lot of diesel.

Using solar panels would save a lot of fuel.

After connecting all the wires, Lu Yu was responsible for driving, while Jiang Fei and Xiao Chuxia went to set up the yacht.

This yacht was 80% new and had a total of seven floors.

The cockpit was on the top floor at the stern, with an independent small suite.

Going down in order were the helipad, deck golf, restaurant, bar, gym, living and resting rooms, study, cinema, beauty salon, chess and card room, etc.

Most of them were abandoned.

The room doors had numbers, and Jiang Fei counted them.

There were a total of 12 rooms, all equipped with independent bathrooms and small balconies, offering beautiful sea views.

Lu Yu had a place to stay in the cockpit, so Jiang Fei and Xiao Chuxia only tidied up two rooms: Room 1 and Room 2.

She stayed in Room 1, and Xiao Hua Lao stayed in Room 2.

The indoor dust wasn't too bad. After taking out the vacuum cleaner and cleaning thoroughly, Jiang Fei replaced the bedding, pillows, and quilts with those from the Supermarket warehouse.

Immediately after, she took out heat-insulating fabric and cut it into three pieces.

Two pieces were hung on the floor-to-ceiling glass doors of the two rooms as curtains.

The other piece was hung on the window of Lu Yu's room.

This was to prevent the sunlight from shining in at night, which would disturb their sleep.

Finally, Jiang Fei and Xiao Chuxia went to clean the restaurant's kitchen.

The refrigerator was filled with various vegetables, fruits, fresh meat, drinks, and other supplies.

Jiang Fei took out two walkie-talkies, gave one to Xiao Chuxia, and began calling Captain Lei and others, as well as the Underground City in Changhai.

As expected, no one responded.

They didn't give up and called once whenever they had time.

Meanwhile, Lu Yu focused on plotting the route and locating Kyoto Base.

Due to the influence of the polar day, Lu Yu couldn't determine the direction clearly and had to repeatedly adjust the route.

Four days later, the floating debris on the sea surface became more and more numerous.

Things like wooden boards, garbage bags, water bottles, branches, foam boards, road signs, and bodies swollen into giants.

Occasionally, they would encounter a few survivors.

Some were curled up on wooden boards, others were clinging to tree trunks.

Having gone without water or food for a long time, they were all so weak that their faces were pale.

Upon seeing the yacht, they shouted with all their might.

"Help!"

"Please, save me!"

Wanting to ask a few people for directions, Jiang Fei used the walkie-talkie to contact Lu Yu and stop the boat.

She brought bread, bottled drinking water, and chocolate from the restaurant, put them in plastic bags, and threw them over.

The plastic bags fell onto the sea surface, and the survivors immediately reached out to grab them.

Without the strength to fight over them, each person only took one bag and began to devour its contents.

Jiang Fei: "Do you know where this is?"

The few people shook their heads honestly.

They had all woken up at sea.

If they hadn't luckily grabbed onto wooden boards and been able to scavenge for food, they wouldn't have survived until now.

"Then where are you all from?"

One of the survivors replied: "I'm from Mingquan Village; those two are from Wucheng Settlement Area and Banpo Town, respectively."

These three places were all near Kyoto Base.

Jiang Fei, however, couldn't feel happy at all.

Kyoto Base was also submerged by the sea.

She used the walkie-talkie to tell Lu Yu the news.

Lu Yu: "I know which way to go now."

Thinking of his friends, Lu Yu immediately started the boat.

The few survivors on the sea surface became anxious.

"Don't go! Take us with you!"

"You can't leave us here! We'll die!"

"Please don't abandon me, I'm willing to be your servant!"

Discovering that the yacht had no intention of stopping, the survivors' attitudes changed, and they cursed angrily.

"Ignoring those in need! Be careful, your boat might have an accident tonight!"

"Bastards! Is having a yacht so great?! I curse you all to die a terrible death!"

"Why hasn't God taken away cold-blooded animals like you?!"

Jiang Fei was indifferent to the survivors' curses.

She had given them precious food and water, and they had given her useful information; the transaction was complete.

Don't expect her to save anyone.

In the evening, Jiang Fei and Xiao Chuxia remained on the deck as usual.

For the first time, they were grateful for the arrival of the polar day, which allowed them to clearly see people and objects on the sea surface.

There were more survivors than during the day, but no familiar faces.

Suddenly, Xiao Chuxia grabbed Jiang Fei beside her: "Miss, look over there."
