Zombies take me as air

Chapter 219
Qi Chu got the news and took people to the pier to check the situation. He settled the survivors in a nearby village.

The zombies on the peninsula have disappeared. Kong Qi and Lu Xiangbei hadn't seen them the last time they came.

The village was empty, and Qi Chu placed the survivors in the village, where at least a fire could be lit for warmth.

Qi Chu brought people to the pier, and Kong Qi pointed to the military (ship) on the sea and said to him: "Have you seen the lights on the ship? That's not an electric light. There is no electricity on the ship. We look like electric lights on the shore, but they are actually on the ship. It doesn't look so bright, it looks like... a lantern made of silk, very weird!"

Qi Chu stood on the shore, holding binoculars and looking at the big ship in the distance.

"Have you ever seen it underwater?" Qi Chu put down the binoculars, turned to look at Kong Qi and asked.

"That's not true. People will die in this kind of weather." Kong Qi shook her head.

She and Lu Xiangbei didn't have any diving equipment, so going into the water wearing a cotton padded jacket was tantamount to committing suicide. If they dived in long johns, wouldn't they freeze to death in the sea?
"Boss, I can do it." The young man standing behind Qi Chu took half a step forward and said seriously.

"Is that okay? Don't be brave." Qi Chu was a little worried.

"No problem!" said the young man, unloading his backpack and weapon.

"Peace, find him a rope." Qi Chuchong said to another young man behind him.

The two followed Qi Chu one left and one right. Kong Qi had never met them before, so she didn't know their names.

They were getting ready on the pier, Kong Qi stepped back, she moved to Guan Peng's side, and asked in a low voice, "Is this person good at winter swimming?"

Originally, Guan Peng and the others were looking for a boat on the shore, but they stopped when Qi Chu came, and all gathered on the pier, waiting for Qi Chu's instructions.

"He is nicknamed the white eel, and he is very good at water. When we first met him, we all suspected that he had gills like a fish."

"But it's winter now, how cold the water is!"

"It's okay, he can do it."

Seeing that the leaders and companions of 'White Eel' had such confidence in him, Kong Qi calmed down a little.

'White Eel' didn't wear a diving suit, and jumped into the sea after warming up on the pier.

He is tied with a rope, because the distance is far away, and people on the shore who pull the rope may not feel it when he encounters danger, so the rope must be pulled back regularly.

They estimated the time it would take for the 'white eel' to swim to the military (ship), and if he did not return after this time, the people on the shore would pull him back.

Since the boats are all sucked by the warship (ship), the possibility of people being sucked cannot be ruled out.

If everything goes well, 'White Eel' will send a light signal to Qi Chu on the sea surface, dragging him back is the worst plan.

'White Eel' entered the sea for a long time without surfacing, and only emerged after swimming far away. He wore a waterproof light on his head, and people on the shore could see his position without binoculars.

He swam so fast that Kong Qi was dumbfounded. No wonder Guan Peng and the others suspected that he had gills. Isn't this just a fish?

Kong Qi asked Guan Peng for the name of 'White Eel', and Guan Peng told her that 'Bai Yufei' was called Bai Yufei.

Kong Qi silently recited the name, and when she recited it twice, it became 'White Fish Flying'.

'White eel' is like a flying fish, swimming fast in the sea.

He swam to the small boat below the warship (ship), climbed into the small boat to rest for a while, and sent lights and codes to the people on the shore on the boat.

Immediately he jumped off the boat and sneaked into the bottom of the military (ship).

The waiting time is the most difficult. They do not have wireless communication equipment, and people who dive into the water cannot communicate with the shore.

Qi Chu stood on the edge of the pier, never taking his eyes off the military (ship) for a moment.

A few minutes later, 'White Eel' surfaced again, climbed into the boat and signaled to Qi Chu.

"He said that there was a rock under the boat that sucked the boat, it wasn't the war (ship) that sucked the boat, it was that rock." Qi Chu looked at the flickering lights and coded to translate.

"Can the boat start without stones?" Guan Peng asked.

"Then let's blow up the rocks." The little Min Heping suggested.

"First confirm whether the ship can still sail. If it is a scrapped ship, there is no need to waste explosives." Qi Chu made a decision, and no one objected.

When 'White Eel' swam back, a fire and a tent were set up on the bank. He went into the tent to wipe his clothes and then sat by the fire to warm himself.

Min Heping handed him hot water, and Qi Chu waited for him to warm up before asking him how big the stone was and how it could hold a warship (ship).

'White Eel' asked Min Heping for a pen and paper, and drew the stones under the boat. His drawing skills were also very high, as if he was a professional.

Kong Qi moved closer to Qi Chu, and took a few glances at the painting of 'White Eel'.

The stone he painted looks like a 'mushroom', with seaweed-like things sticking to the bottom of the warship (ship).

He tried to pull it out twice but failed. He thought that getting the stone would make the boat free.

Guan Peng has already reported to Qi Chu that the masked men who escaped from the mountain base fled to the big ship.

They are not humans, but creatures with leech heads.

Guan Peng felt that the masked people wanted to flee by boat, and they had no reason to flee to a scrapped boat.

Kong Qi put forward a different view.

The last time she and Lu Xiangbei came, they saw masked men building bridges on the sea.

When she and Lu Xiangbei walked north, they tore down the bridge they built. When they came back this time, she didn't see the new bridge.

So she thinks that in the past six months, the masked man should not have sent anyone to investigate on the warship (ship).

If they intend to use the military (ship), they will build the bridge again.

Those four masked men pushed a small boat into the sea from the sea, which is enough to show that there is no bridge in the sea, and they floated over in a small boat.

After listening to her point of view, Guan Peng retorted: "They may have rebuilt the bridge, but it was demolished later. For example, they have found that the military (ship) is still usable, and they don't want others to take advantage of it."

It can't be said that there is no possibility, but the masked man didn't get rid of the stones and seaweed under the boat, how did they get away?
Qi Chu was thinking about what to do next. It was a bit difficult to make this decision, because all the boats parked on the shore were small boats. To take all the survivors away at once, they needed big boats.

But he believes what Kong Qi said, there may be unusual dangers hidden on the warship (ship), should he risk the lives of his men?
Just when Qi Chu was hesitating whether to send someone, the army (ship) suddenly moved!

Lu Zhe, who had been watching it with a telescope, immediately called out: "The lights on the boat will move—"

Kong Qi quickly looked at the warship (ship), and there were no lights on the sea at this time.

"Those lights went into the boat, they can move, what Kong Qi said is right, they are not electric lights." Lu Zhe said anxiously.

"The hull is also moving, something must have happened on it." Min Heping, another person observing the warship (ship) with a telescope, saw the hull shake twice.

"Heaven, the boat has been lifted, look at it!" Geng Chaoqun's voice was raised several degrees in shock.

The war (ship) is lifted up and hangs in the air from the sea. What is this concept?
What can lift a war (ship) with a displacement of over [-] tons?
