After crashing the ship, the monster, whose emotions were vented, dived back into the sand sea.

Without the impact from the outside world, the shattered hull was barely stable.

Although it still maintains a certain tilt angle, it is not perpendicular to the sand sea, and there is no direct risk of overturning.

Yan Jing relied on his strong physical fitness to withstand the impact without being thrown out.

At this time, he was already high up on the back half of the ship, hanging on to the edge of the roof.

Looking down, part of the stern of the ship has sunk into a sea of ​​sand.

The two lifeboats have disappeared, leaving only a few lucky passengers clinging to some cargo floating on the sandy sea.

In addition, a lifeboat unexpectedly survived nearby. Standing at a high place, Yan Jing could clearly see that the two people on the boat seemed to have avoided the impact in advance, and there were two packages piled inside the boat.

Anticipate danger in advance?

Using both arms, his whole body rose upwards. Yan Jing turned around in the air and sat on the edge of the sloping roof of the captain's cabin.

The first mission requires Yan Jing to survive until the research ship arrives.

This means that a ship will definitely pass by later and will lend a helping hand to them.

All Yan Jing has to do now is wait here.

Fortunately, this type of ship sailing on the sand sea has obviously undergone special modifications. In addition, the density of the sand sea seems to be high, and the sinking speed of the ship's hull is slower than Yan Jing expected.

As long as Yan Jing maintains his current state, he can easily survive for a while.

However, just when Yan Jing was about to change to a more comfortable position and avoid the hot sun, a cry for help coming from under his feet caught his attention.

"Help! Help...help me! There are monsters in the sand sea!"

The person asking for help was a middle-aged woman. She was lying on a wooden board not far from the stern of the boat. Her whole body was floating in the sea of ​​sand, as if she would be directly submerged by the waves of sand in the next second.

She could see Yan Jing's position when she looked up, so she subconsciously called for help.

She originally thought that the monster she shouted was the giant monster that was rampaging just now. Unexpectedly, Yan Jing looked in the direction pointed by her raised arm, but happened to see a large number of python-like creatures in the sand sea hundreds of meters away.

The monster takes form.

The tan body arches in the sand. At first glance, it looks like dozens of huge tires piled in the sea of ​​sand. However, they are constantly rotating and moving forward. At this speed, it will not take long.

to the neighborhood.

Yan Jing took action decisively.

He doesn't care if a few people die.

The trouble is that if too many of these people die and the bloody smell spreads, something might be attracted...

If you sit back and watch at this time, you will be the one crying when the time comes.

Of course, there are also methods to save people.

Yan Jing was not sure about the strength of the monsters in this world. Jumping off the ship would definitely be courting death. He looked around and fixed his eyes on the ropes wrapped around the side of the ship that were originally used to fix the sails.

The mast carrying the sail had been broken in the previous collision, and these ropes were used as rescue tools.

He stood up and walked along the edge. He saw the right moment and jumped out, landing directly next to the side of the ship. He bent down to pick up a large bundle of ropes, first tied a buckle on one end, and then moved it down.

Since the rear half of the ship was at an angle to the sea of ​​sand, although it could not be said to be upside down, it was obviously impossible to stand firm and walk on. Even Yan Jing had no choice but to hold on to the side panels of the ship while slowly moving down.

.

The sinking of the stern of the ship continued, and the flowing gravel was like a giant beast that was never satisfied, crushing and engulfing the hull section by section.

"I will throw the rope over later and put it around the armpit. Can you hear me?"

Yan Jing didn't expect the middle-aged woman to just grab the other end of the rope and escape, so he shouted loudly.

The distance between the two sides was not far, and Yan Jing moved until he stabilized his feet behind a pile of cargo boxes near the stern of the ship before throwing out the rope.

The power that human beings can unleash in order to survive is huge, and the woman was no exception. As soon as she caught the rope, she put it on her body.

It was not difficult for Yan Jing to drag someone up with his strength. When he saw that the other party was ready, he lifted the middle-aged woman up from the sea of ​​sand in a few seconds, just like fishing, and immediately grabbed her clothes and threw them to the sea.

Near the side of the ship's side,

"Go up the side of the ship, the higher the better!"

At this time, many survivors in the surrounding area had noticed the approach of the group of monsters, and calls for help kept coming. Yan Jing could not save everyone at once, so he could only follow the principle of being near and pull up those nearby first.

Gu~lu~

Not long after, a rhythmic buzzing sound was faintly heard in the wind and sand.

At this time, Yan Jing had just dragged the eighth person, and the survivors who had finally escaped were all thanking him, but his eyes were first cast in the direction of the sound.

He saw three people lying on a floating container dozens of meters away, which was beyond the reach of the rope. Those people almost knew this, so after sensing the danger approaching, they turned to the only nearby place.

A lifeboat called for help, hoping that the people on board could help them.

But the next scene made Yan Jing frown.

I saw that the two people on the lifeboat not only had no intention of saving people, but one of them was still throwing something towards the location of the caller, while the other was using a paddle to stay away from the area, and then went directly into the cabin.

It shrunk and there was no movement at all.

Seeing that no one came to save him, the screams of the people on the cargo box became louder and louder.

It wasn't until the buzzing sound got closer that they stopped shouting in unison and desperately tried to climb up the cargo box to get their legs away from the hot sea of ​​sand.

Yan Jing stood near the stern of the boat, watching them, or to be precise, the worm mouthparts behind them that were covered with sharp teeth.

Those "pythons" that shuttled through the sea of ​​sand finally appeared. They were like earthworms with mouthparts, coiling forward.

Devour all living creatures wherever it passes!

The approach of the worm swarm forced Yan Jing to stop the rescue operation.

The eight people rescued previously had climbed to the heights of the rear half of the ship and were temporarily out of danger.

However, these people were not the only ones who were killed.

They were thrown away in the previous impact and barely survived by relying on various debris falling from the ship.

Because it was far away from the ship, it was difficult to return for a while, and Yan Jing could not save him.

Originally, these people could survive for a while relying on debris floating on the sand. With luck, they might be able to wait until the research ship arrives.

However, the arrival of the worm swarm completely plunged them into dire straits.

Faced with the terrifying worms that can shuttle freely in the sea of ​​sand, it is not that no one shouted out not to move or make any noise. These worms have no eyes and cannot sense stationary objects.

The problem is, in the undulating sea of ​​sand, facing the "worm forest" that is only a dozen meters apart, who can really stay motionless?

Fear overwhelmed everything.

Some people simply gave up the sundries they relied on and swam like crazy towards the back half of the ship where Yan Jing was. There were also people who were originally the guards on the ship. They held up strange-shaped pistols in their hands and kept pulling the triggers, trying to disperse these people.

worm.
