Chapter 773 - 295: The Queen, Youth Squad_4

"This means they’re evolving faster and faster. We can’t stay in Sunshine New City any longer; the correct move is to leave as soon as possible and get to land," said Ni Qi.

The wooden raft kept moving forward, getting closer and closer to Yangshan.

Suddenly, a loud horn sounded.

The teenagers looked up, gazing at the distant water.

On the horizon, a massive rusty cargo ship slowly appeared on the surface.

The cargo ship was enormous, its rusty exterior forming a pattern that resembled a ’bird’ in flight.

"Ship! There’s a ship!" Ma Ji exclaimed in a mix of excitement and disbelief.

Zhong Mountain stood up immediately, excitedly saying, "It’s a real ship, Ni Qi, Chang Yan, there’s a ship! We’re saved!"

Ni Qi showed a hint of joy, and Chang Yan’s eyes also sparkled with surprise.

They had been drifting at sea for two days and nights, already much tougher than many adults.

If it weren’t for their superpowers, they would have died on the way.

Seeing the ship suddenly gave them hope of survival, how could they not be thrilled?

"Row towards it, quickly, let’s go over there," Ni Qi instinctively shouted.

The teenagers immediately began paddling the raft toward the ship.

Suddenly, a voice came from the sea.

"Help, help me!"

Because Chang Yan was a Spirit Ability User, her senses were much sharper than ordinary people.

Upon hearing the cry for help, she looked around and asked, "Did you hear something?"

Ni Qi and the others quickly quieted down, all listening intently.

The sounds of wind, rain, and water continuously filled their ears.

Amidst the noisy sounds, a woman’s faint cry for help could be heard.

"Help, please help!"

Ni Qi shivered and said, "Someone’s calling for help!"

She quickly grabbed binoculars, scrutinizing the surrounding waters for the source of the call.

Soon, she saw a plastic board floating on the water near the ship.

A person lay on the plastic board, and next to it, a foam board with a woman clinging to it was crying for help.

In the vast floodwaters, they would have been hard to spot without binoculars.

"Someone’s drowning, over there!" Ni Qi quickly told the others.

Chang Yan, Ma Ji, and Zhong Mountain all looked towards the water, indeed spotting the plastic and foam boards among the waves.

With so many floating objects in the water, it was really hard to notice those two.

"Give me the binoculars," Chang Yan said.

Ni Qi handed the binoculars to Chang Yan, who looked for a while before her expression suddenly turned serious.

Zhong Mountain asked, "What’s wrong, Chang Yan? What did you find?"

Chang Yan replied solemnly, "The man lying on the plastic board is injured; I see bloodstains."

"It’s normal to have wounds with this massive flood and so many mutated monsters," Ma Ji instinctively said.

Chang Yan immediately said, "No, no! That’s not right!"

"What’s wrong, Chang Yan?" Ni Qi asked quickly.

Chang Yan’s face changed, her gaze fixed on the distant Yangshan as she hesitated.

They were nearing Yangshan; would rescuing them now bring trouble?

"What if those two are from Yangshan?" Zhong Mountain suddenly asked.

This statement made the group pause.

Ni Qi suddenly said, "Why can’t people from the cargo ship be the ones from Yangshan?"

Chang Yan’s mind raced, and she suddenly said, "Rescue them! They’re heading towards Yangshan. If they weren’t from Yangshan, they wouldn’t swim this way!"

In that instant, she made a judgment.

Ni Qi said immediately, "I’ll go."

"Let me!" Ma Ji shouted.

Standing up, he jumped and swiftly started kicking his legs, forming a blurred image.

Next moment, he was running madly on the water’s surface.

The water’s tension supported him, creating a streak as he ran.

After running two or three kilometers, he reached the woman crying for help, threw a rope down, circled them, and then ran back without approaching.

After a few steps, he sank deeper and finally fell into the water, starting to swim.

Apparently, his superpower wasn’t enough to let him truly run freely above the water’s surface.

He could only utilize his speed to run a short distance, similar to skipping stones on water.

Eventually, he would sink.

But it was enough; swimming back, Zhong Mountain pulled Ma Ji up.

Ma Ji held a rope, the other end grasped by the woman on the foam board.

"Quickly, pull!" Ma Ji shouted.

Zhong Mountain and Ni Qi helped to pull the rope, dragging the woman towards them.
