Chapter Eighty-Six: An Ill-Powered Old Man
In the afternoon, Su Marie fell into a coma, and Hu Jun finally relented and let Su Marie be saved.
However, Su Marie's body was far inferior to Li Chaoyang, and after a night of rain and a day of exposure, her already fragile body could no longer withstand the toss, and finally died on the deck.
Hu Jun found a close-fitting waterproof bag from Su Marie's body, which contained a Bible with an old poster sandwiched between the Bible.
There is nothing else left.
Su Marie died, her eyes closed tightly and her hair scattered, and she was so desolate on the deck, everyone watched from afar, and no one stepped forward to help.
Usually those faithful believers have chosen to be indifferent at this time.
Looking at Su Marie's emaciated corpse, Hu Jun inexplicably swelled with a burst of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox, people may not be alive in any way, but they are all the same when they die, no longer lifeless, no longer speechless, rotten, swelled, and finally completely disappeared.
Her today may be everyone's tomorrow, and it will be the same when they run out of food and water.
Today, when Sumarie died, there were still people collecting the body, but what about the others?
In order to avoid contagion, Su Marie's body was thrown into the sea, but unlike before, Hu Jun threw a yellow chrysanthemum into the sea.
The yellow petals dance with the waves.
Not far away, several sharks swam over as fast as they could, opened their bloody mouths and bit down fiercely, the sea water rolled as if it was boiling, and the feast began again.
Sumari's body disappeared beneath the water, completely reduced to shark food.
There was no obstruction in the whole process, no one even spoke, and after the chaos of last night, many people still did not recover from their fear, and they also understood a lot that they were the only ones who could save them on this cruise ship, and it was very likely that they would die in vain if they stood in line at will.
It's hard to protect itself, who will protect an unpopular Su Marie?
As night enveloped the cruise ship again, Hu Jun lit a bonfire on the deck, the flames burning in the oil drums, and the strong smell of diesel fuel in the air.
A lot of people went to rest early, and after last night's night of horror they were all dark.
Only Hu Jun and a few men were left on duty.
During the day, Zhu Hou and Hu Jun went to check the fuel and found that the cruise ship used heavy diesel oil, which could not flow like asphalt, and needed to be heated by a dresser heater before it could be used, and now even if the valve is opened, not a drop can flow.
The light diesel oil that can be used has bottomed out, and at most it will run out tomorrow.
Water is scarce, food is scarce, and even fuel is running out.
In other words, they are now on the verge of despair.
Food and water are essential to survive, and fuel is also expensive, and they have to rely on it to heat food and even desalinate seawater.
However, the cruise ship structure is responsible, everyone has no experience at all, and if you want to solve the fuel problem, you must rely on Zhou Shucheng.
But Hu Jun didn't dare to open the hatch, he was afraid that the scene last night would repeat itself again, he was very hesitant and anxious, and kept smoking his cigar.
There was nothing else on the cruise, there were a lot of high-end cigarettes and cigars, but Hu Jun was not in the mood to taste them at this time.
"Whew!"
Several black figures glided and landed on the roof of the captain's quarters, several huge vultures, completely ignoring Hu Jun, shrugging their necks in search of the smell of rotting flesh.
Although Sue-Marie's body had been thrown away, some of her flesh was stuck to the flagpole, and these creatures were attracted to the smell, and the sharp claws and beak rubbed against the hard flagpole like an iron chisel to indicate that they were pecking at the human tissue on it.
"Bang dang!"
A muffled thud in the captain's chamber startled all the vultures to fly, but they did not leave, and immediately found another place to stop.
These guys seem to have smelled death and used the cruise ship as a fast-food restaurant.
Hearing the sound, Hu Jun hurriedly got up and ran over.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Tan Hai, an old man in a tuxedo, eating biscuits with his grandson.
"What's wrong?" Hu Jun asked.
"No, the fire axe accidentally fell to the ground." Tan Hai glanced at the fire axe on the side and said.
Hu Jun breathed a sigh of relief and checked the chain lock again, pulled it, and left the captain's room after making sure that the lock was intact.
"Don't smash it, there's no point in that." Tan Hai whispered to the bottom of the safe passage.
It wasn't the fire axe that fell to the ground, it was someone knocking on the hatch below.
"Friend, aren't you very familiar with Ruan Hao, how can we say that we are also friends, you open conditions, we can satisfy you with anything." Bo Zai's voice came from the passage.
"It's useless, it's useless for you to give me anything now, Hu Jun never thought of letting you go from the beginning, there are too many of you, and I don't need to say anything about what you did last night, who dares to let you go?"
This is actually what Tan Hai is afraid of, so no matter what Bo Zai says, everyone will not believe it, and any effort is in vain.
"Is there really no way?"
"Yes, either you are completely unable to resist, such as starving and unable to move, or you are all dead."
Bo Tsai stopped talking and retreated in despair.
"How's it going? What do they think? Zhou Shucheng asked.
Bo Tsai shook his head with a wry smile: "No, unless we are all dead, in fact, we should have thought a long time ago, they won't believe us." ”
Everyone else had sad expressions on their faces.
"Okay, don't toss, let's go back, I'm sure there will be a way."
Zhou Shucheng smiled and returned to the room regardless of everyone's disappointed eyes, when he pushed open the door, he saw Hu Xiuli lying on the ground, she was holding her stomach and her expression was extremely painful, Zhou Shucheng hurriedly ran over and helped Hu Xiuli up.
"How are you, are you alright? What about medicine? Bear with me, I'll get you medicine. Zhou Shucheng hurriedly took out all the painkillers.
However all the boxes were empty and the painkillers had been eaten.
"Don't look for it, it's gone." Hu Xiuli struggled to her feet.
Hu Xiuli's thin and slender fingernails pierced Zhou Shucheng's skin, and she trembled and begged in a low voice: "Old Zhou, kill me, I really can't stand it, I hurt so much, I ...... so painful."
Looking at his wife's painful expression, Zhou Shucheng's heart was broken, as a man, watching his wife suffer but unable to do anything, there is nothing more desperate than this.
Zhou Shucheng hugged Hu Xiuli tightly, his heartache trembled, and his tears couldn't help falling anymore.
"Kill me, you kill me quickly, I'm so tired of living, really tired, are you letting me die?" Hu Xiuli muttered in a low voice.
This usually elegant and gentle woman was in tears at this time, and kept begging her husband to kill her, and the sharp pain that pierced her heart was unbearable, and she would rather die than live to suffer.
For some patients, it is better to die than to live in pain.
At this time, the door suddenly opened, and Zhou Yao appeared at the door.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Yao asked with concern.
"Your aunt is terminally ill and has run out of painkillers." Zhou Shucheng said.
Zhou Yao's lips moved, and he said, "Uncle, I may have medicine somewhere, I don't know if I can use it, you can take a look." ”
"Really? That's great! Zhou Shucheng was overjoyed and hurriedly comforted his wife: "You wait for me, I'll go and see it now." ”
Zhou Shucheng followed Zhou Yao out of the door, Zhou Yao glanced around and took out a small packet of white powder.
"You're a poisonous ......"
"Yes, yes, but its calming and painkiller effect is far greater than that of painkillers, and this is the best painkiller."
Zhou Shucheng hesitated for a moment and took it, he knew very well what he was doing, but he couldn't bear to watch his wife suffer.
People are going to die, so what's the point of making mistakes or not.
"Uncle, don't let it go too much, just a little bit."
"Thank you, later...... Forget it, you stay safe. ”
Zhou Shucheng also wanted to persuade Zhou Yao not to suck it in the future, but when he thought of what he was about to do and gave up, it had come to this point, what was the difference between him and Zhou Yao.
"Did you get it?" Hu Xiuli raised her head and looked at Zhou Shucheng expectantly.
"I got it, and it's a painkiller that works very well, you wait for me." Zhou Shucheng said with a smile on his face, deliberately turned his back to some water cups, poured some hot water, shook it well, and served it.
"Come on, drink it."
Zhou Shucheng smiled on his face, but his heart was dripping blood, and he couldn't imagine what a decent person like his wife would think after he knew that he was involved in drugs.
If there was a choice between innocence and death, she would definitely choose the former.
Zhou Shucheng took out a few ordinary pills and handed them to Hu Xiuli, Hu Xiuli believed it and drank it tremblingly, her eyes flashed with a strong desire to survive, she didn't want to die, she was just afraid of the pain and unbearable.
I have to say that Zhou Yao's things have an excellent effect, and it didn't take long for Hu Xiuli's pain to get a lot better, and she even fell asleep on the bed, breathing steadily and her expression quiet.
Zhou Shucheng sat on the edge of the bed and watched for a long time, and he was also very conflicted in his heart, and he heard Bo Zai's words very clearly.
From Hu Jun's standpoint, he really has no reason to let them go, not to mention that he is still a cautious wallgrass, although he will not kill all of them ruthlessly, but he will not let them go, he will drag them all the time, he will drag it like the evening.
But the people in the cabin can't afford it, and everyone has long lost trust in each other, and they may do anything to survive.
I can't care so much, if I don't let it go, I won't have a chance if I don't make a move.
