17. Remains

Judging from the degree of rust of the ship, even if it can enter the hull, I did not expect to receive much of the goods, the rust of the sea water is much more terrible than that of fresh water, although the hull has been brushed with a special anti-corrosion paint, it is still covered by the thick barnacles, which proves that the hull has completely rotted, and the sea water has entered the cabin, because there is no anti-corrosion treatment inside, it must have been a mess.

But I still can't help but be curious, the entrance that Shen Yao found can indeed enter inside, but you have to jump in from the top down.

Covered in layers of barnacles and dead shellfish, there was an inconspicuous gap, and when you got closer, you could smell the musty smell of rot and rust wafting from inside, and from the location of the gap, it may be that the glass on the side of the cockpit or the door were partially rotten.

I lifted a slightly larger stone and climbed up, lifted it and smashed it on the edge of the gap, the cockpit glass and iron sheet covering the barnacle were as brittle as sugar cane, and I didn't expect it to fall down with the collapse of the smash, and a burst of exclamation also frightened Shen Yao, who was watching below, screamed, I quickly raised my hand to stop her exclamation, "It's okay, it's okay!"

I smashed out an opening that was more than a meter long. More musty gas and greenish-gray smoke rushed out of the pavement inside, and although I held my breath, I felt choked and instinctively backed away.

Shen Yao stood below and watched the situation, becoming a little anxious, "Uncle Yi, don't go in, okay? You see that this ship is so rotten, it must be rotten inside... And... And..... I have a bad premonition!"

I heard Shen Yao say a lot, but I was firm in the idea of going in and seeing, this is somewhat related to Lan Jie, in the past few years of living with Lan Jie, I have gradually developed a very bad habit, that is, I like to disobey people, the more Lan Jie does not let me do, the more I want to do, the more she worries about what I do, the more energetic I do!

I waved my hand to Shen Yao and asked her to wait quietly.

When the smell of gray and musty cleared, I looked inside, and the dust drifting from the cabin under the pillar of light looked like a tomb that had been sealed for many years, and the sloping floor had rusted and rotted and deformed. There is a reflection in the dark, it should be stagnant water, and some debris can be vaguely seen scattered in the black stagnant water at the bottom of the bilge.

But the situation inside was better than expected, I climbed in, the hull tilted so that I had to crawl down on the floor with my hands and feet, and when I reached out to support the rudder, there was a crunch, and the whole rudder was broken, and I also held the rudder and slid into the black water of the bilge, as if I had fallen into an ice ditch in winter, and stood up and beat several spirits in a row.

When I just slid down, there was a burst of dust, and the fine dust made me unable to open my eyes, and I choked on a series of sneezes after only inhaling a little, and my throat was also itchy.

When the dust settled, I stood in the mud of the black water and looked up, and found that Shen Yao had already climbed to the entrance at this time, I was really surprised that she was a girl who could climb up by herself, and was looking down, "Uncle Yi, be careful!"

The cold black water had just reached my knees, and I could feel some irregular debris and muddy sediment under my feet, and I leaned against the sloping deck of the cabin and tested the muddy water with my feet. There were still oil splashes floating on the water, and they were shining in bursts.

I poked my head and feet in the black water, hoping to find something useful.

After a long period of soaking, everything that fell into the stagnant water rotted into mud, and when I stepped on it with my foot, the whole stagnant water became a semi-viscous paste, and there might be some nautical chart documents or books, or some clothes! I stepped on some wine bottles, there was a telescope, and the stagnant water was mixed by me to give off more unpleasant smells, and the bubbles burst These air containing methane and sulfur drifted into my nose, and gradually I became a little dizzy, and they began to paralyze my eyes and smell.

Just as I was about to give up, I stepped on a round thing, and I was shocked!

Although I had been prepared, sweat was still oozing from my forehead, so I forced myself to calm down and reached out to touch it, and sure enough, the regular hole on the round thing was just as I expected, it was the head of a skeleton!

"Uncle Yi, what's wrong with you?"

I think maybe I was stunned, or maybe Shen Yao saw the strangeness of my god form? Her tone was obviously very uneasy.

"It's okay, it's okay!" I squeezed out a stiff smile to soothe her and calm myself down.

I touched down the skull, and there were some microorganisms like velvet growing on the skull, which was smooth and kept the skull hard. But when I touched his ribs, I broke his corroded ribs without paying attention, and the whole body was half-buried in muddy black water, and the ribs were as brittle as rice tubes. Suddenly, my hand seemed to touch a rope, and I was stopped, and I followed the trajectory I had just touched back, and sure enough, I found that the skeleton also had a satchel on it.

The sea corroded his flesh and bones, but it didn't corrode the satchel, and there may be something very important in it that the deceased would protect with such a good quality waterproof bag.

As soon as I pulled it, the strap of the satchel passed through the skeleton, my hand clicked, and the satchel was pulled out of the water, at this time my body had reached its limit, and I began to have a headache and nausea, and I couldn't wait to climb up from the inclined plank and escape from this hellish place.

But after trying it a few times, I started to panic! because my hands and feet were stained by semi-oily water, there was no adhesion to the inclined deck, my strength was not fully recovered, and I had been smoked by the smell of this cabin for so long!

"Uncle Yi... Uncle Yi... Yan Yi! Yan Yi!"

I listened to Shen Yao shouting my name over and over again, but her voice seemed to float farther and farther, I suddenly felt a little relaxed, top-heavy as if drunk, and then my face was icy but not uncomfortable, and I plunged headlong into the black water.
