The five-day trip was much more difficult than Lin Sanjiu expected.

Not having water is not a big deal, and she has some food in her card library that she has collected from previous worlds, and although it is not delicious, it is enough to maintain her strength. Even the dirty and primitive restroom that looked like it was built out of iron sheet was unbearable - what really made Lin Sanjiu feel irritable and uncomfortable was probably the cramped and crowded R area, the cargo hold without daylight, the muscle aches caused by not being able to sit down and rest, and the thought that she forced herself to put aside and not think about it.

If she began to suspect that it was all a dream, what evidence was there that she wasn't in another dream now? If she thought about it like this, the whole apocalyptic world might be an illusion she had when she sat in a madhouse - Lin Sanjiu couldn't allow her mind to be so chaotic and slide to the edge of madness.

Regardless of what was going on in the dungeon, there was only one thing she could keep in mind: she was out now.

But every time her gaze swept over the woman across from her, she found it difficult to keep her mind focused.

In the past two or three days of sailing, the passengers have become familiar with each other a little, and some information has been exchanged more or less - the woman who made Lin Sanjiu mistake it for Sajie at first, when she stood up to move, smiled and told her that her name was AYU - because of the gathering of people from various apocalyptic worlds, there are many stranger names than this in the Nautilus.

Aside from her eyes, she appears to be a very normal evolutionary; And in the past few days, even those weird eyes have gradually become normal. The black eyeballs slowly retracted to their normal size, revealing the whites of the eyes on both sides. Except for a scarf, she bears no resemblance to Sajah – not even the color of the scarf.

"You can go to the event," said its owner with a smile as one foot stepped into the door of the R area, "There is no one in the bathroom." ”

The person who spoke was a young boy, and although his dark blonde hair was not so dazzling, it occasionally reminded Lin Sanjiu of Span - but under this blonde hair, he was just an ordinary-looking young man with a few freckles.

His skin was the color of wrought copper, and his teeth were particularly white; Ward and Lin Sanjiu were the first to become familiar with them, compared to other passengers. The two of them are more like friends.

"Thank you." Lin Sanjiu smiled and walked out of the R area.

The aisle wasn't very wide, but when she stood sideways, it was long enough for her bony wings to stretch out completely—like limbs. If you keep curling up. Even bones can be sore.

"Whew" faintly. Bone wings cut through the air; Almost in the blink of an eye, the sharp blade at the very end had touched the locked door at the entrance. Although the bone wing looks heavy, when it moves. It's incredibly light and fast, and it can be cut open instantly without defense—so every time Ward will help Lin Sanjiu in advance to see if there is anyone in the aisle.

Stretching his waist, Lin Sanjiu sighed in his heart: "...... Ever since I came to the Red Nautilus, I've almost forgotten what it's like to be empty. ”

Teacher Yi didn't answer - not every aimless small talk gets a response from Teacher Yi, but she seems to have been particularly silent in recent days.

Lin Sanjiu didn't ask for a response, she continued: "I really want to take a bath...... The smell here is almost seeping into my skin. ”

When I first got on board, the smell was not obvious; However, whatever its source may be, it seems to have become more intense with the passage of time - a bit like pigskin, neither particularly unpleasant nor compatible with the fragrance; Knowing that the smell was strange, Lin Sanjiu always felt that he seemed to have smelled it once before.

The cargo area on both sides of the aisle is firmly occupied by iron warehouse-like cargo boxes, leaving no gaps. Looking down, only the half-open door of the restroom revealed a shadow at the end of the aisle, swaying slightly as the ship moved.

In such a boring and depressing environment, Lin Sanjiu has seen enough; However, there are still at least two days left before the spacecraft lands. She sighed softly and gathered her bony wings, intending to return to the R-zone.

Even though passengers are often carried, no one has ever thought of installing windows in the cargo hold, so a row of fluorescent lamps overhead is the only source of light here. White light spilled through the air, passing through layers of obstacles, and by the time it fell into the R-zone, it had faded to a dim grayish-white.

Perhaps because of the unclear light, it took more than half an hour for the passengers in the R section to notice the anomaly after she returned.

The first person to notice something was wrong was a woman sitting not far from the door. Her shaggy brown hair was messily draped over her shoulders, and a smile rarely appeared on her lanky face—except when talking about her daughter; But this smile is not destined to last long.

“…… Eight, nine. Her soft voice was heard very clearly in the silence. Hey? ”

The last note of the brown-haired woman raised her head, and several people immediately raised their heads; Several people furrowed their eyebrows as their suspicious gazes swept over the R-zone.

In the R area, which is no more than thirty square meters at most, there are only nine people at the moment - the brown-haired woman raised her eyes and asked Lin Sanjiu, "...... When you came back, did anyone go out? ”

Lin Sanjiu will only stretch her wings when no one is outside, and after a few days of getting along, everyone is already familiar with her habit.

"No," she said, glancing at the door of Section R—not so much a door, but a gap between the iron shelves of the warehouses on either side. "At least I didn't notice."

"Who's missing? I guess I've been to the bathroom a long time ago," the other man said, seemingly thinking it wasn't a big deal. He wore a striped shirt that had been forced to curve over his bulging belly, and several buttons seemed to collapse at any moment, but he still struggled to button the sides of the shirt.

"Looks like that," Ward thought for a moment, "he's not tall, I forgot his name...... But I was the last one to get back from the bathroom, and there was no one there. ”

Saying this, Lin Sanjiu also vaguely remembered that what he didn't see was a medium-sized, ordinary-looking man, and it was difficult to judge his age, and it was difficult to leave any impression. Because he didn't have a translator and he only spoke a very cold language, no one even knew his name.

However, in this cage-like environment, no one was worried that he would be lost, so even though Ward repeatedly emphasized that there was really no one outside, no one took this matter to heart for a while. "I don't know he's gone to the warehouse," smiled another, older man, with a cunning that was disproportionate to his appearance. “…… I think if he wants to earn back a little money, it has nothing to do with us, and it's better not to interfere. ”

These passengers are strangers in the first place, and more is better than less.

Ward didn't seem to be fully convinced, though, squinting at the aisle and then at the R-zone, but still didn't say anything.

In the R zone, if you don't look at your watch, it's always hard to tell the time. Judging from the people who came in and out one after another, it was probably after several hours that Ward walked gently to Lin Sanjiu's side. The copper-skinned youth smiled at her, "...... Going out for a walk together? ”

Lin Sanjiu remembered his expression just now, nodded, and followed him into the aisle.

The steel under her feet was so calm that it was hard to imagine that she was now in the air at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

“…… My hometown is a beautiful place," Ward said suddenly after they had stood silent in the hallway for a moment. "Humans live on platforms scattered across the ocean, with sea water as far as the eye can see, and the color changes to dark green or blue-gold depending on the weather – it's a bit monotonous, but it's beautiful."

Lin Sanjiu listened quietly, not knowing why he suddenly talked about this topic.

"However, after the end comes, the world below the water platform will change." Distant memories seemed to blow into the present like the wind, and Ward's voice paused. “…… Even though I've been through five worlds, what's beneath the surface of the water is still the biggest creature I've ever seen in my life; If it weren't for the fact that I saw a distant platform being attacked, I wouldn't even have been able to see what they looked like. ”

"The worst thing is that it's not just this kind of behemoth. More underwater creatures that we have never seen before, I don't know where they came from; No matter where we drive the platform, we risk crashing headfirst into the arms of these monsters. When all this happened, my parents and sister were on the other side of the planet - traveling, ridiculous, right? It's just the ocean, but because there are a few plants sticking out, is it worth sightseeing......

Even after all this time, Ward's expression still seemed to be smiling rather than laughing, crying rather than crying.

As a result, a white and white thing suddenly floated in front of their water platform, dragging the entire water platform down...... I remember that the sea in the video had a lot of bubbles floating and then it went black. After that, I evolved my first ability, which was the one that was vital to life and death in my old home. ”

Lin Sanjiu was even a little glad that her relatives were not dying in front of her - sensing that Ward was about to get to the point, she couldn't help but hold her breath slightly. He doesn't confess his abilities for no reason.

“…… Lifeform detection. Ward's voice suddenly became so low that even Lin Sanjiu, who was standing beside him, almost didn't hear it clearly.

"There are only nine lifeforms in this cargo hold." (To be continued......)
