Chapter 18: Meet the Dead Again
It was indeed a bit difficult for the three of them to run all the way, so they had to lean on the hull of the ship to recover their strength first, not to mention that our current state was not suitable for launching into the water.
I only wish the people in the boat would come out later, so we took the opportunity to open our glasses and take a small sip of water.
As soon as the three of them put the water glasses back in their backpacks, the voices of those people could be heard from the deck.
At this time, there was no need for any language communication, and the three of them looked at each other and walked towards the water.
I cautiously swam ahead, the two of them following closely behind, but I was able to quickly find the place where the hull had broken from memory.
I nodded to the two of them and dived first, in fact, I was mentally prepared before I came, I knew that there were many sandwiches inside the hull, and if we couldn't get in, it would mean that we would have to soak in the sea for a day.
Thankfully, I was able to find the entrance along the cracked hull of the ship, and even saw small colorful fish swimming in front of me.
The hull was cracking more than I had expected, and it was going to be repaired unless it was sent to the shipyard, which made me even more reinforced.
Luckily, it's not high tide yet, and only half of the hull is in the water, otherwise I would have been on the verge of losing my breath.
The three of us finally managed to get out of the sea and breathe in the fresh air, but we didn't dare to turn on the waterproof flashlight immediately, but listened carefully to the movements around us.
After waiting for a while and not hearing anything, we turned on the flashlight, where we were supposed to be the staff's rest area, with the help of the flashlight we successfully found a foothold, which was completely out of the sea.
Fortunately, the water temperature is not low, this trip is a good bath, if there are no monsters hanging around the island, this place is a good resort, the scenery is pleasant, the temperature is just right.
The three of them didn't care about disposing of the wet clothes on their bodies, and immediately searched the room, but unfortunately they didn't find anything of value.
We clinged to the door and cautiously looked through the glass window for a while, but saw no one in sight, and then opened the door and walked out.
When I first got on the ship, there was a visit, and everyone went to the deck to play, but I participated, just because it was my first time on a cruise ship, and I had never seen the world, so I didn't expect it to come in handy.
From memory I led the two of them to the dining room, which had been abandoned since the food and water had been distributed, and now the people in the cabin should have gone outside to spoil the coconut groves.
Soon I found what I was looking for, and for me, as long as I had oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, anything could be turned into a delicacy, even the monster.
Fortunately, there were still a few packets of salt unopened, so we hurriedly put them in our bags, but unfortunately we couldn't bring a lot of oil, but I found a large bag of chili sauce and a pack of chili noodles, and I was satisfied to find these.
We didn't dare to stay too long, we wanted to take too many things, but unfortunately we had to dive out, and the poor sealing was definitely not able to take it, so we had to give up a large part of it.
Finally my eyes fell on a wok and a slightly smaller saucepan, and I wanted to take both with me, but unfortunately we had limited weight, and we had to find tools and weapons, so we had to choose only one of them.
In the end, I gritted my teeth and chose a slightly larger wok, after all, it is in the wild, and the wok is more practical, if I find wild vegetables one day, I can both fry and stew with this pot.
The three of them retreated to the lower level of the cabin, where the tool room and the cruise ship's power system were also on this level, and it seemed that there was no trace of human activity, so we couldn't help but speed up the pace.
I also admire these people who stayed on the ship, but if they have a little brain, plus a little courage, they will not live so hard at all, and they can even use the things on the ship to directly repel the monsters.
Thinking about it, we came to the door of the tool room, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't turn the knocker on the door, and the door just wouldn't open.
The three of them stood there in a hurry, and even John wanted to kick the door, but Paul and I hurriedly stopped it.
I leaned to the door and looked inside, and through the glass window, I could see that the floor inside the room was broken, and it seemed that the impact was really bad.
But I couldn't see the whole picture of the room, because there were a lot of toolboxes inside, but this look strengthened my determination to go in, because all kinds of tools fell to the ground.
I carefully recalled the construction of the cruise ship and the various locations where the hull was damaged, and perhaps we could dive into this room in front of us from the sea.
As soon as I said that, I pulled the two of them back to the room where we entered the ship, and made a shuttle gesture at them, and they roughly understood what I meant.
Everyone was not so nervous when we went to the sea again, and soon we found another broken place, and we went all the way along the gap, and really let us come to the location of the tool room.
But this place is not directly pierced by the reef, it should be a tear caused by the collision, and we can get in, and there is a gap above our heads, but the problem is that the water level is very low, unless we climb up.
We found a place where we could barely settle down, pulled out the rope and tied a knot and threw it up, and we had to try our luck.
It seems that we transported it well, and it really hung up something, I pulled the cart a few times to test the firmness, but it was okay, I was the lightest in it, and I was naturally the first to get on.
It was not easy to climb the rope with my bare hands, and I finally grabbed the edge with all my strength, and leaned out with difficulty.
When I opened the hand power station, I saw that our knot was hanging on the corner of a table, but fortunately, the table was fixed to the ground, because the knot would loosen after a few more pulls.
I stepped forward to re-tie the knot, threw the rope down again, and made an OK gesture to the two of them, and they grabbed the rope and climbed up, and I lifted the flashlight and looked around the room.
I was really in the right place, thanks to the brains and guts of these people who stayed on the ship, otherwise these things would not have been my turn.
There were hammers and axes, all kinds of tools, saws and ropes, and I was looking at it vigorously, but I tripped over something, and it was not a hard object, it was soft to the touch.
Even though I'm brave now, I'm not ready to face the monster face-to-face, not to mention that I don't have a weapon in my hand right now, which really scares me a lot.
But now it's too much, I raised the flashlight and shone it over, what kind of monster was it, it was actually a woman.
Long hair covered her face, I couldn't see her clearly, I squatted down and touched her arm, there was temperature, I should be alive.
I stepped forward and turned over her body, and the face in front of me surprised me, isn't this Rumeng, who has never shown up, why is she here?
I then shone a flashlight around and found no one else, but some fish bones.
Could it be that this girl is hiding here and catching fish for a living?
"Wake up, wake up. I said, shaking my dreamy shoulders.
"Water... Water...", Rumeng said weakly.
By this time Paul had already climbed up, heard the sound and came to us, and said a lot.
"Yes, yes, alive. I said as I opened the glass and handed it to Rumeng's mouth.
This should be due to lack of water and hunger, resulting in collapse and coma.
Rumeng drank some water, and his sanity gradually came to his senses, and John came to us, Rumeng blinked and kept scanning the three of us.
Suddenly, like a frightened fawn, he pushed me away and kept retreating until I reached the corner.
"What's wrong with you? I'm Qingyang. I said.
"Don't come, don't come, don't try to arrest me, or I'll die for you. Rumeng said.
"What did I arrest you for, we were driven away by Ma Gongzi and them, we are now living in a cave outside, here is to come back to find some weapons and tools. I said.
Rumeng looked at me in a daze for a long time before asking in a low voice, "What you said is true?"
"Of course it's true, I don't believe you ask them. I said and pointed to Paul and John.
Rumeng really chatted with the two, and I wondered, why do everyone know this foreign language, but I can't?
After chatting with the two, Rumeng said apologetically, "Thank you for saving me." ”
"No thanks, I haven't seen you all these days, I'm just wondering where you've been, I didn't expect you to be here, why are you hiding here?" I asked.
"It's all because of Ma Gongzi's brute. Rumeng gritted his teeth and said.
