Falling asleep in a daze, he suddenly felt light, and when Cheng Qianxun opened his eyes, he was already being held by Sneijder and rushed to the cold storage opposite the door. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info It's not just Sneijder, the others are fleeing to the cold storage.

Professor Ackerman was so frightened that his legs went limp, and Barron and Gordon, one arm at a time, almost dragged him along.

Turning his head, Cheng Qianxun's eyes, which were still a little sleepy-eyed, suddenly widened, and the drowsiness disappeared... A long, thick black wrist was already on the glass, and it was dark outside, but the ankle was darker. It was as if dark clouds had come to cover the sky, and behind the tentacles of large and small suction cups followed, heads large enough to cover entire windows.

After half of the windows were blocked, everyone fled into the cold storage, and then Regel and Gavin closed the bulky cold storage door.

After darkness, the light of a key ring came on. It's faint, but the light is enough to illuminate everyone's silhouette.

Sneijder put Cheng Qianxun down: "It seems that this guy is hungry again, and I don't know how many people he will eat today." ”

Cheng Qianxun looked at Ackerman: "Professor, its dietary rules are what you have to study, if you want to survive, think about it quickly." Otherwise, that thing will come to the door hungry, and you are fat, and it should love to eat it. ”

Ackerman wiped his face with his hands, apparently wiping sweat: "Definitely, definitely. ”

At this time, the second mate, Albert, gently pushed the door open a crack, waited a little longer, and finally pushed it all open. On the diagonal opposite window, there was no trace of the monster.

He was bold, and took a few tentative steps out, and then quickened his pace, for even in the bilge of the ship's department there was a terrible scream.

The monster had gone to the bilge for a feast, and there were at least one or two thousand of them, so there was no need to spend the energy on the dozen or so people here.

Everyone walked to the eaves of the boat and looked down. Countless screams merged, a cacophony of noise, and gunshots rang out. But the gunshots became less and less, and the gunshot disappeared after about ten minutes, maybe the bullets ran out, or the person who used the gun was eaten first.

As you can imagine, the monster was in the way of the only exit, and the eight tentacles kept rolling up the panicked people one by one and sending them into their mouths. And people have nowhere to run but to hang around inside, or hide in the corners with themselves in their arms.

"It's time to think about how to deal with this monster." Regel let out a long breath, but it wasn't that there was no gunfire just now, and obviously the bullet had little effect on the monster: "If you are caught by it, can you escape by hitting it in the eye with a gun?" ”

Gordon thought for a moment and said, "Just blind all its eyes, the eyeballs should be the weakest point, I use a sniper rifle to find a chance to solve it." ”

It's a good idea, a blind predator is much less threatening.

Ackerman shook his head, the danger was far away at this time, the man-eating monster was having a big meal, and he didn't have time to come here: "Octopuses have very keen senses, and their skin surface is distributed with touch, light, smell and taste cells, even blind octopuses can see light. To be precise, the entire surface of their body senses light. ”

Everyone was stunned at this time, Ackerman was afraid that everyone would not believe it, and added: "There has been an experiment, a blind octopus can accurately find that there are dead fish more than a meter away. In addition to the tongue and lips, there are taste organs that can distinguish between sweet and sour, salty and bitter, as well as on the inner surface of the wrist and hand. ”

In other words, even if you hide in a small corner, you can "see" it wherever its tentacles go, and if you touch it, you can "taste" the food beforehand.

"Well, we're dealing with a monster with eyes and tongues all over its body." Second mate Albert asked Ackermann rhetorically, "Professor, what are your suggestions?" ”

"I'm thinking, I'm thinking." Ackerman's words made everyone's hearts sink, and they were thinking that there was no effective way to deal with that monster at the moment.

"So does it have hearing?" Barron asked, too, the key.

"There is a sense of hearing. On land there may not be other sensory acuity, but underwater, it is possible to distinguish between underwater and surface sounds. Ackerman replied, "It makes people desperate, they have all their senses, what are they playing, and when they are discovered, they are waiting to be eaten."

Don't ask about appetite, the screaming downstairs continues, this guy has an excellent appetite and is still eating.

"Go in, send someone to watch, and wait for it to come out. Everyone else went to rest. Rudolph turned to leave.

"You go in, I'll do the math." The second officer, Albert, was still standing in place, pricking up his ears to listen to the screams of wanting to be in one piece, and also looked at the luminous mechanical watch hands on his wrist: "According to the speed at which it is eating, when it stops, you can roughly calculate how much it has eaten." ”

It was all alive, Ackerman shuddered. But if you know how much this monster eats at a meal, and how often you eat at every interval, you can arrange your own work and rest time.

"I'll go in and go back to sleep." Cheng Qianxun turned around, thought of something, turned around and instructed: "Which of you will get him a chair and thick clothes." ”

Entering the duty room, Cheng Qianxun lay down and closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

I heard someone else come in, and one of them said puzzledly, "Why is she still sleeping?" ”

The screams kept coming, and the bilge had turned into a hell on earth, a scene even more terrifying than a nightmare. I really can't sleep, close my eyes and recuperate, when it comes to the critical time, I may have to spend time with this monster, and winning or losing often depends on who can survive longer.

Finally, at a certain time, the sound decreased a lot, and then gradually subsided, and finally there was no sound. It was the middle of the night, and the room was dark, but the silhouette of the person could still be seen. Everyone didn't dare to press the small light on the key ring, this monster has vision, in case you eat enough, see the light on it, curiously come over to take a look, isn't it miserable?

Albert came in: "One hour and thirty-four minutes, according to one person every fifteen seconds, it is estimated that more than three hundred and seventy people have eaten. ”

More than 300 people, how big do you have to support your body? Thinking of more than 300 people, the monster's body was doubled, and it blocked the door in the warehouse, and the people who swallowed it were still struggling and squirming slightly in the viscous gastric juice...

Gavin shuddered all over his body and stammered, "How about we hit it if it's full?" ”

Ackerman grimaced: "At most, it will catch up slowly, but its defensive ability will not weaken." ”

"It's impossible to fight, just hide if you can." Cheng Qianxun was also a little helpless, she didn't want to be a superhero who saved the world: "Just that thing, a tentacle smashed down, and the little life was over immediately." ”

Everyone lay down, leaving Gavin and Gordon on duty, and at the moment the two factions distrust each other, for fear that something would go wrong while the other party fell asleep. No one wants to joke with their lives, so they each have one person on duty.

Lying on the floor, Cheng Qianxun asked softly: "That monster didn't leave after eating, right?" ”

"Yes." Albert replied that he couldn't sleep either. After seeing what I just saw, I need to be very tired to fall asleep.

Cheng Qianxun seemed to be muttering to himself: "I eat more than 370 people in one meal, and I don't know how many people there are in the bilge." ”

Albert said leisurely: "I should go to the rear cabin, which is relatively large and can accommodate two thousand people." ”

The only good thing about this cruise ship is that there are more than 5,000 people in total, even if six or seven hundred people have been eaten and died, there are still more than 4,000 left. If the monster is finished eating and then leaves, then the people in the back warehouse can still eat seven or eight meals.

Gavin, who was on duty, suddenly remembered something: "What if we leave now?" ”

This should be the way, if the monster stays in the back compartment and waits for the people inside to eat before coming out, then by the time it comes out, maybe they will have arrived at the warship in a lifeboat. There are more than a thousand people in the back warehouse, and there are only ten of them, as long as they are animals with a little brain, they will know whether to chase ten people or stop so much food in the warehouse.

Ackerman saw them sit up one by one, and also sat up and said: "The octopus will spray water in the opposite direction, and the swimming speed will be very fast, I am afraid that this monster can spray water all the time, then even if we run farther, we will be chased back." ”

Barron then said: "Either don't go, as long as you can spend two days, at most three or four days, someone from the military will definitely arrive." ”

Cheng Qianxun thought about it, nodded, and lay down again.

Sneijder also lay down and said softly, "Aren't you leaving?" There is a high probability of an escape this time. ”

"I know that too." She also replied in a low voice, "But what if the monster catches up?" At sea, you can't escape if you want to. Even the slightest possibility, you can't risk it. ”

No matter how low the voice is, others can hear it. In fact, other people are also in the swing from side to side, as long as one person can persist and convince the others, then they will leave.

In fact, this is also a move to win all the lives and lose all the deaths, and Cheng Qianxun doesn't want such a result, what she wants is to survive a few. On the ship, even if she died, at least her teammates would have a chance to escape and continue to wrestle with the monsters until it was over.

With his eyes closed, he barely heard anything other than the sound of the sea tapping against the hull of the boat from time to time. It can be seen how loud the screams of the people at the bottom of the boat were out of fear just now. Don't dare to think about what kind of situation is going to be at this time, otherwise you will be scared and disgusted. Soon after, Cheng Qianxun fell asleep again.

The day began again, there was no sound, and everyone woke up, silently eating and drinking water.

Suddenly, there was movement outside the door, as if something in the hallway had stepped on it and made a sound.

Everyone unanimously put down the food in their hands, and the little food was stuffed into their mouths and went to get their weapons. Cheng Qianxun took out the pistol tied to his thigh, stood up like everyone else, and tiptoed to the door of the room.

The second mate shouted: "Who is it?" ”

There was a slight sound outside, and they were supposed to be hiding. Semi-tentatively replied, "Who are you?" ”

There was no result in asking this question, and the second officer thought for a while and said, "We are the staff on the ship, who are you?" (To be continued.) )
