Chapter 11: The First Deceased
Zhao Gaoyi reminded me, and I remembered:
I had met in the hallway since I first got on the boat, and I hadn't seen the man in the raincoat since.
He was not in the cabin just now when the sailor came to deliver the meal, and we had traveled almost the entire ship when we searched for Cao Cao, and we didn't see him.
That raincoat man, is he also missing?
What happened to these people who disappeared one after another?
"Shouldn't we go to the cockpit and have a look?" asked Li Teng.
The salty sea water on my body made my skin feel painful and itchy. Working on deck in the midst of a storm was a hard job, and now that the wind and waves were receding, the sailors came back one after another, changed into dry clothes, and took time to rest.
At this moment, there was a post-war laxity on the whole ship, and it was the time when the cockpit was the least occupied.
We slowly approached the cockpit, and 10 steps from the hatch, everyone pretended to pass by by accidentally.
A sweaty sailor opened the door, walked into the cockpit, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Your hands and feet are sharp!
The cockpit door opened a small slit, and a scent that I had never smelled wafted out of the crack in the door, the fragrance was very strange, with the peculiar salty smell of the sea breeze, but it was fragrant, and when I smelled it, I felt that the pores of my body were open, and the moisture gurgled out, as if it had been dried by charcoal fire.
Three sailors were busy in the wheelhouse, one shovel in hand, shoveling things from place to place. The other two were holding harpoons, which were pointed straight at the same place where the shovel had shoveled the object. The sailor who entered the door at the end crossed his arms and watched with interest as several people went about their work.
"Hey, I'm getting more and more able to eat. Said the shoveler.
"Hurry up, you, I'm panicking. A man with a harpoon said.
"That's it, my wife gave birth to such a monster for him, our boss is really pitiful. The other man on the harpoon chimed in.
The sailor who entered the door at the end kicked the two men with harpoons in the buttocks, "Tired of being alive, aren't you? Keep your mouth fucking tight, let the boss know that you think of his precious daughter like this, and you have to pick your skin and drink the soup!"
There was a row of tall consoles in the center of the cab, and my view was blocked by the consoles, so I couldn't see what they were doing.
It seems to be feeding something, and this thing is the daughter of the ship's boss.
What kind of people need to be fed with a shovel and harpoons?
My stomach suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and I wanted to vomit for a while because of the aroma.
The people on this ship may have their own purposes, and the strangest thing is the "thing" that is being fed at this time.
I looked at the dried fish in my hand, and then at the harpoon in someone's hand.
That harpoon is equivalent to a golden holy costume, no matter how we look at it, it's like taking 10 spider legs and NPC equipment back in the novice village, the gap is a bit big!
Zhao Gao pointed to the cardboard boxes stacked in the corridor not far away, and said to Li Teng and me: "You two hide there, I will lead them away with Lao He, and when the people are gone, you will find a chance to go in." β
"Can you two do it?" I worried.
"Hehe, if you want to talk about wit, these little bunnies are still tender. β
It's not nice to hide in that pile of cardboard boxes. As soon as I opened the cardboard box, it was dried fish, and a fishy smell peculiar to seafood came to my face, and when I got into the box, I had a deep thought about why humans should have a sense of smell.
"Leaky, leaky!" Zhao Gao shouted.
"The ship is sinking! Help!"
Through the small hole in the side of the box, I saw two people running out of the cockpit, one was the "overseer" who was the last to enter the door, and the other was a sailor who had just shoveled something with a shovel.
"What's leaking?" said the overseer's face was anxious.
The two old men didn't answer, but pointed in one direction casually, and ran away in the opposite direction.
The overseer scolded his mother, turned to the cockpit and explained, "You two are guarding here, let's take a look." β
As soon as the overseer left, He Shen Zhao Gao ran back and rushed directly into the cockpit, and He Shen even took out a stack of red RMB from his pocket.
"Help, help, help us!" shouted Zhao Gao.
"Get out!" shouted the sailor, a middle-aged man's voice, as steady as the harpoon in his hand.
"The ship is leaking, it's sinking, save us!" was Heshen's voice.
"Don't come! I'm not welcome to you again!" shouted the sailor, this time in a young voice, his voice trembling slightly with nervousness.
"We want a lifeboat!" Zhao Gao continued to shout, and the reason why he can use the word "lifeboat" skillfully is thanks to the great movie.
"Give us a lifeboat! the money is yours!" He Shen continued to shout.
There was silence in the cab.
I sneaked out the box and crept closer to the cockpit, followed by Li Teng.
Not far away came the chaotic and dense footsteps of the sailors, and occasionally a few words.
"Leaking?"
"Where?"
"I don't know, let's run. β
β¦β¦
This is how gossip grabbed entertainment headlines, thanks to the crowd of onlookers who didn't know the truth.
"Ahh
There was a terrible scream from the cockpit, and 0.5 seconds before the scream sounded, there was the sound of bones breaking, gurgling, and unusually crisp.
When I rushed in, He Shen Zhao Gao was stunned like two sculptures, and the middle-aged sailor was rolling on the ground and trying to rush out of the cockpit, his crotch was wet, and the smell reminded me: This is the world.
Another young sailor screamed as if he were dying...... It was the dying man, his hands crawling desperately, leaving blood marks on the ground, and his lower body was sunk in a large pit under the floor.
No, to be exact, trapped in the mouth of some monster.
The monster was just below the floor, almost filling the crater.
Its body is in the shape of a human, and it can still distinguish limbs, hands and feet, but the arms and legs are not very thin, as if they are underdeveloped, and as if they have undergone some kind of degradation and become antennae.
What makes people tremble at the sight of it is the huge head.
A normal human being, even if he drinks Sanlu milk powder from birth and drinks it until he is 100 years old, it is impossible for him to grow such a big head.
The head was a meter in diameter, its two eyes stared at everyone present like light bulbs, and its nose was sunken in the middle of the face, like some kind of flat-faced cat's nose.
It has no neck, its head is directly attached to its torso, and its emaciated limbs are ignored, like an oversized, dark version of a matryoshka doll.
The lower half of the young sailor's body was bitten in his mouth, and his jagged fangs had at least three layers inside and out.
The fangs pierced the softest of the lower abdomen, and red blood continued to flow into its foul-smelling mouth.
"Kill me, kill me!" cried out the young sailor in despair.
He looked a few years younger than me, dark-skinned, thin, but muscular, and his eyesβthe antelope caught by a lion, were the same before he died.
I was like a rat stuck in a sticky rat board, my feet were out of control, and I couldn't move a single step.
Li Teng was much more daring than I was, and took a few steps forward, picked up the harpoon on the ground, and forked it down against the monster's eyes.
It took a lot of effort to make this fork, and even though the monster desperately turned its head and closed its eyes, he still stuck it in the flesh of the eye.
The monster screamed, and several fangs were brought out of the young sailor's abdomen.
Li Teng's behavior gave me great courage and allowed me to rush forward.
I grabbed the young sailor, trying to pull him up while the monster opened its mouth, but I couldn't pull him even with all my strength.
The young sailor screamed even harder, and my eardrums ached as if they had been scraped with a blunt object.
From a different angle, I saw a fangs sunk deep into his lower back, stuck in his lumbar vertebrae.
His lumbar vertebra had broken into two.
"Kill me, kill me! I really can't stand it!"
I burst into tears at the same time as the young sailor.
He must have been a very brave man, he didn't cry bitterly, he cried because of despair.
"Ahh
Li Teng had fallen into a frenzy, and the harpoon danced wildly, poking into the fat head and torso, pulling it out, leaving holes not enough to kill.
The young sailor was finally dead, and fell limp to the ground, allowing the monster to drag him deep into the pit.
Out of the harpoon's reach, it munched and slurred, its eyes glaring at us viciously.
If you want to kill it, you have to jump into the pit, which is undoubtedly dangerous.
An exclamation from the direction of the cabin broke the deadlock.
I am very familiar with this voice, it is Xu Xiaoman!
My heart is already hanging in my throat, what's wrong? Is there something that even Xiao Hei can't handle?
