Chapter Ninety-Eight: No Man or Ghost Nor Ghost

The vultures did not appear again, and the seabirds rarely cared for them, and Li Chaoyang's methods did not yield anything for two consecutive days, so he had to collect urine in order to solve the problem of drinking water.

Hu Jun: The little water they collected was distributed to the elderly and children.

In addition to these things, he will also pour some water on Zheng Guoqiang on time every day, Zheng Guoqiang's body is still very weak, but fortunately, he finally opened his eyes.

It's a miracle that this man is skinny and skinny, and he was able to survive.

Several times in the middle of the process, it was suggested that he should be left alone, and there was no need to allocate precious resources to someone he did not know at all.

What Zheng Guoqiang said is almost the same as everyone's speculation, he is really a smuggler, and the purpose is to collect debts. When he saw Bao Longxiang, he struggled to get up and held everyone down.

Bao Longxiang squeezed into the crowd and said loudly that as long as he could get out, he would definitely pay back the money.

The matter of these two people is just a small episode, and survival is the problem that must be solved at the moment.

Because of the shortage of food, there have been many thefts on the ship, and since the white pine forest collected fresh water, the ship has not stopped, and some people secretly get up in the middle of the night to steal water from bottles in order to drink water.

Some even suck the water droplets on the carpet directly with their mouths.

The burglaries in the cabins are even more numerous.

On the third day of the water break, some people showed symptoms of dehydration, and more and more people collapsed.

Hunger forced these people to find Li Chaoyang again, and they followed Li Chaoyang like a fart, watching with blank eyes and begging in a low voice, hoping that he could give a little bit of food.

When Li Chaoyang took out the carrion and was about to fish, these people rushed up and snatched the carrion like crazy, and then stuffed the carrion into their mouths like starving ghosts, and chewed it in large gulps.

The old aunt stumbled to find Hu Jun, took Hu Jun's hand and ran out, and saw a man with a pale face lying on the deck.

When he learned that this person had drunk seawater, Hu Jun shook his head helplessly, saying that he was hopeless.

Seawater contains a large amount of salt and minerals, and a large amount of ingestion can cause a great burden on the kidneys, causing acute renal failure, and eventually leading to multi-organ lesions and then death.

Ingestion of seawater in semi-dehydrated conditions will undoubtedly speed up the absorption of salt and die faster.

Hu Jun explained the truth again and warned everyone that no matter what, don't drink seawater, it will really kill people.

Hunger and thirst are like the sickle of death and begin to harvest the fresh life on the cruise ship, the young man is dying with his eyes closed, he is the nephew of the old aunt, who has just turned twenty years old, a returnee living in Oceania, this time he invited the old aunt's family to travel.

"It's no fun, give up." Hu Jun said lightly, his lips were chapped and bleeding due to lack of water, and his voice was hoarse.

"No, he's not dead yet, can you think of a way, do you still have water?" The old aunt said.

"yes, wait." Zhou Shucheng was also a little unbearable.

Hu Jun stopped talking, he is a doctor, and his answer to those patients who are hopeless and extremely painful is to give up treatment, although it is cruel, but it is also humane to be able to let the patient leave comfortably.

Everyone else looked at it indifferently.

"Can people eat it?"

A faint voice reached Hu Jun's ears, it was a voice that frightened him, because he was a doctor, he had heard a lot of rumors, the structure of the human body was no different from that of mammals such as pigs, cows and sheep, and in a sense people could also be food.

Since ancient times, there have been rumors that the child is eaten.

But the reason why people become human beings is because they have human nature and have the most basic moral bottom line and behavioral norms.

People know what to do and what not to do, there are certain standards and public perceptions, cannibalism, this is the practice of animals.

However, in extreme circumstances, anything can happen, and if that tragic scene really happens, Hu Jun would rather die.

He has dealt with many burn patients, and the burnt smell of people is no different from that of burnt pork, which is undoubtedly a huge temptation for these people who have not eaten enough for a few days.

"How was the last time a shark appeared? What attracted it to it? This time it was Guo Lighting who spoke.

"Blood, sharks like the smell of blood." Zhang Jianjun said.

Everyone's eyes invariably fell on the young man, who was going to do what Chen Yaodong had done, throwing the corpse into the sea to lure fish.

"One shark is enough for us for a day." Guo Lighting's eyes were glowing.

He can't control so much at this time, as long as he can live, he can do anything, since people are dead, it should be wasted anyway.

"What are you going to do?" The old aunt asked.

"It's nothing, we just want to borrow his corpse."

Guo Mingming looked at it coldly, and the others were silent, someone had already brought the harpoon.

"What are you going to do, he's not dead yet, do you want to kill someone?" Hu Jun asked.

"No, didn't we say that we borrowed his corpse for use, when it comes to killing people, how many of them are clean, and you killed the madman, what kind of pretending to be high." Guo Mingming snorted and said disdainfully.

He was right, the people present were no longer the tourists they were at the beginning, and many of them had evolved from docile sheep to man-eating wolves, and they had already killed madmen, and they had already done such things as murder.

The young man died on the deck under the gaze of everyone, and Hu Jun announced his death in public.

"What about corpses? Put it on board? Guo Mingming asked shyly.

No one answered, the ship must not be put on board, it will stink one day, and when the time comes, it will spread diseases, and it must be thrown away.

"If no one speaks, then throw him into the sea, now a few stabs are not considered murder, right? Whoever wants to come, he can take two portions of sharks alone! ”

Guo Mingming just instigated a few words, and someone immediately walked out, the poor young man's corpse was about to be dismembered before it was cold, such a tragic picture, some people really couldn't bear to look at it, and walked away.

Several men set up the young man's body, stabbed him several times and threw it into the sea.

The sea surface was quickly stained red with blood, Guo Mingming and the others stared at the water surface with harpoons, one by one they were full of energy and did not feel sad for the young man at all, in their eyes it was not a corpse, it was bait, and his death was valuable.

The harpoon is sharp and has barbs in the front, which is difficult to get rid of once the shark is shot.

Li Chaoyang and Bai Songlin were both watching coldly, if this happened at the beginning of the cruise departure, they would not hesitate to stand up and oppose it, but now they have acquiesced, and even look forward to it.

In the current situation, the living are human beings, and the dead are called corpses, bait, pollution sources, and they are also fed to fish when thrown into the sea, which is equivalent to waste utilization.

A living life turned into a corpse in the blink of an eye, the same human being, everyone's attention was not on him at all, one by one staring at the water, expecting the gray figure to suddenly jump out of the water.

However, this neighborhood is a desert after all, and I waited for a long time without seeing the shadow of half a fish.

Li Chaoyang moved his chapped lips, feeling like a fire was about to rise in his throat.

"Whoa!"

There was a sudden movement on the surface of the water, and everyone quickly poked their heads out.

I saw a huge figure slowly emerging from the bottom of the water, a column of water rose into the sky, and the huge figure appeared in front of everyone's eyes without warning.

Everyone was stunned, it was not a shark, but a huge gray whale.

This is the first time many people have seen gray whales, and they are much bigger than the whales in the aquarium.

The whale, which is more than 10 meters long and weighs dozens of tons, is like a small mountain floating out of the water, slowly swimming past the cruise ship, and its huge tail fin slaps the surface of the water and splashes a large amount of water.

A small gray whale emerged from the splash and dived down again, following closely behind the adult gray whale.

It turned out that this was a mother and son who were passing by.

Even young whales are several meters long, and they are behemoths to humans, the largest creatures on Earth are not the slightest bit aggressive, but they give people a visceral fear.

I don't know who threw the harpoon, but the whale was so far away that the harpoon didn't hit it at all.

The others also reacted and threw out their harpoons one after another.

Everyone is going crazy with hunger, and they can't care about it so much, even whales want to try it.

But all in vain.

The whale completely ignored everyone's attacks, and even sprayed a few jets of water with some contempt before disappearing under the rolling waves, never to be seen again.
