"Do as I say!I know my boat!!"

After yelling at the vortex furnace warehouse, Charles looked down at the first mate on the ground, "John, go and unload half of the ship's cargo!"

He knows that the critical moment is not the time to hesitate, and that life is more important than anything else.

"Yes!" the fat old man kicked open the cockpit door and rushed out.

Listening to the popping sound of the cargo falling into the water, Charles's heart was bleeding.

Fortunately, a series of measures were still useful, and after a few more impacts, the light rat began to speed up and slowly shook off what was behind.

When he saw the real buoy appear on the bow of the ship, Charles, who was in a cold sweat, slowly let go of the rudder in his hand.

The boy on the ground trembled and crawled to Charles's feet, clutching his thighs.

"Ship...... Captain, I just ...... I just saw—"

Charles pinched his cheeks directly with his hand to stop him from continuing down.

"Before I get on the boat, what is the third sentence for you?"

"Monsters in the water can't be seen or thought, and unless they're close to our boat, don't say anything if you see them......"

"Very well, now stand up and go to anchor first, and then go and inform everyone on board to assemble on deck, I want to count the number of people. ”

Charles let go of his hand and walked out of the cockpit, when the deck was in shambles, there was standing water everywhere, and the ropes that bound the cargo floated on the water and fluttered left and right.

Charles waded through the calf to the stern of the boat, the spindle-shaped stern of the ship as if it had been hit by a sledgehammer, and some unknown black slime was stuck to it, emitting a foul smell incessantly.

Looking at the shape, it was easy to imagine the size of the creature that had just hit the ship, but eight years of sailing had taken away Charles's curiosity as he considered something else.

"It's another amount of money to fix this thing......" Charles was a little irritated, he was one step away from his dream.

At this moment, the murmur in my ears sounded again, as if it was spreading from the darkness around me.

“ph...... nglui mglw...... nafh......”

"Damn!" Charles, frowning, clenched his fist with one hand and smashed his forehead with the back of his hand, the pain diluting the irritability caused by the murmuring.

When he saw the rest of the crew begin to assemble on deck, Charles lowered his hand and walked over.

Seeing his captain approaching, several men of different heights quickly stood in a row, and their faces were as white and frightening as Charles's, no matter what they looked like.

"John, the first mate, assists the captain and organizes the work plans, is responsible for the preparation of cargo stowage plans, and is the helmsman of 12~24. The fat old man was the first to speak.

Standing next to Old John was a tall, strong man with engine oil all over his blue clothes, and he quickly picked it up after the first mate finished speaking.

"James, the chief engineer, is responsible for maintaining the normal working order of the turbo furnace, as well as maintaining the propulsion and ancillary equipment, the boiler, and the lubrication and cooling and fuel oil. ”

Next to the tall man was a thin man, tall and skinny, with a telephone pole.

"Frey, the cook is in charge of the crew's meals. ”

Behind the cook was an ugly-looking Deep, who was shaky and didn't seem to have recovered.

"Di ...... Dipu, a water officer, is responsible for deck cleaning, maintenance and repair of anchors, cables, and loading and unloading equipment. ”

Quickly scanning the four people in front of him, Charles immediately noticed that one person was missing. "Where's the boatswain?"

The four looked at each other and no one answered.

"Ahhh

"Something's on board!Weapons on!" Charles rushed over with the crowd.

When they reached the dimly lit crew lounge, everyone immediately felt a cool air rush from their tail bones to their brains.

There were only two people in the dimly lit cabin at this time, and one man was standing, it was the boatswain of the Mouse, with a frightened expression.

A man was lying on his stomach, and he couldn't see who he was, because the skin on his body had been stripped naked, and there was no skin protection, and every time he let his body touch the ground, the bloody man trembled in pain.

He lay on the ground vaguely, screaming and struggling desperately, his breath getting weaker and weaker.

"Jim! go ask him for his identity!" Charles quickly pulled out the revolver on his waist.

The boatswain crawled over with a look of fear on his face, leaning in to the bloody head and listening.

After a few seconds, he turned around in a panic, pointed at Charles and said, "Captain,...... He said he was you!"

"Me?"

Listening to the panicked footsteps of the crew behind him, Charles decisively pointed his gun at the boatswain,

"Charles, the captain of the ship, is responsible for the safe transportation of the ship, production and administration, to ensure the safety of the life and property of the ship and the crew to the greatest extent, and to deal with various affairs decisively and steadily in case of emergency, 0~12 helmsman!

"Kill him!!, he's not your captain anymore!" said the boatswain, pointing at Charles in horror.

"Bang!" As Charles pulled the trigger, a bloody hole appeared in the boatswain's brain, and instead of blood, a half-coagulated dark yellow liquid flowed out of it.

Seeing that the matter was exposed, the boatswain's body began to twist and change, his mouth cracked to the back of his head, and his limbs began to expand rapidly, rushing towards Charles with a strange roar.

"Bang bang bang!" the bullet rained down on the boatswain's body, the skin torn like a broken sack, exposing the dark, rotten, twisted torso of a toad.

After all six bullets were fired, the monster was not dead, and spread its limbs and pounced on the human in front of it.

Charles seemed to have been through it many times, his face was not flustered, and his body rolled to the side, dodging the monster attack.

When he dodged, he didn't stop his hands, the bullets of the revolver had been loaded again, and he turned over his hand and directly fired six shots.

Under the attack of twelve bullets, the monster's legs weakened and fell to the ground weakly.

Charles, panting, glanced at the corpse in front of him, which made humans instinctively sick to their stomachs, and turned his head to look at the terrified crew behind him.

"Don't be stunned, throw this thing off the boat," Charles said, walking towards the bloody corpse that was no longer moving.

Ignoring the smell of blood, he straightened his head with his hands, and when he saw that the exposed tooth was missing a front tooth, Charles knew that this was his boatswain, and that it was the underwater monster that he had just pretended.

There was a hint of pain on Charles's face, but he quickly relented, pulled out the bullet and stuffed it into the gun, and began to patrol his boat, looking for other fish that had slipped through the net.

Dip followed first mate John with great difficulty in carrying the body.

The young man was surprised and said to his companion next to him, "The captain is so powerful. ”

"Haha, of course, he's the captain and you're just a sailor. Actually, he used to be the same as you when he first got on the boat. ”

"Really? What was Captain Charles like when he first got on board?"

"That's a long time, it's been almost seven or eight years, I was working as a third mate on another ship, and Charles came from the sea, and when I first met him, he couldn't even speak. ”

"Really, how did he become the captain?"

"The old captain saw that he was pitiful, so he let him follow him far behind the ship, and when he came back to the docks, and found that he was not a monster, he stayed on our ship, and he learned to speak as a sailor, and not long after he learned to speak, he announced that he wanted a ship of his own to lead all mankind back to the land of light, and we all laughed at him for being insane. ”

"And then?"

"Later, he went from sailor to boatswain, and then from boatswain to third officer, and when we all thought he would change from third officer to second officer, he actually saved up money to buy a second-hand small cargo ship, No, this rat under our feet. ”
