At sea, Sergeant Winnie took on the role of a doctor.

After all, in a place like the sea, the importance of a doctor is self-evident.

When Lin Ci came to the terrace on the second floor of the yacht, he saw Han Mengdie curled up in the sofa and looked at something. Kate bumped Lin Ci with her elbow and said, "I'll go first." ”

He walked away a few steps, turned around and pointed at Lin Ci with a wicked smile. Lin Ci shook her head and walked to Han Mengdie's side, it turned out that she was reading comics.

Lin Ci didn't speak, and sat quietly next to her. Han Mengdie wouldn't know where he was coming, closed the comic book, and shook it: "Look?" ”

This is a comic book from a very old age, called "Galaxy Railway". Lin Ci remembered that when he was young, he saw it in the bookstore at the entrance of the school, and said "Huh", "Where did you find this thing?" ”

"Alice gave it to me, she still has a lot of comics there, but I saw this one at a glance." Hand the comic to Lin Ci.

In the evening, the girls cooked a hearty dinner, and it was hard for them to make decent dishes with those quick foods.

As for the big fish on the table, it was contributed by Kate, who had been fishing for a full afternoon on the boat, and finally hoisted a big fish weighing several pounds. Alice made the soup with fish heads, and Winnie made sashimi out of fish meat.

Everyone on the boat gathered in the dining room, and Wellington ate as he ate, and said, "It's a pity that there is no wine, otherwise this dinner will be perfect tonight."

While everyone was eating, Alice took out a small notebook and coughed dryly and said, "While everyone is gathering now, I'll tell you about our roadmap this time." We have to travel tens of thousands of miles from Rotterdam, and it will take at least a month to travel day and night, but in fact we will spend more time because we need to refuel from time to time. ”

"Therefore, the most conservative estimate is that it will take at least fifty days or so for us to return to Huaxia."

"Fifty days?" Kate screamed, "Oh my God, I feel like I'm about to become the Robinson of the new era." ”

"At least you still have a yacht to sit on." Lin Ci said.

"Fifty days is fifty days, I just hope to be able to go back smoothly." Chen Hu said.

Alice let go of Twilight Snow and said, "Don't worry, if it goes well, the trip should be shorter than expected." And you don't have to stay at sea for 50 days, during which we will go ashore to replenish our supplies, and you can go to the ground to breathe. ”

"It's so much better than when I was running a boat. At least the environment of the Sari is so comfortable, let alone fifty days, there is no problem in staying for a hundred days. ”

When Kate heard this, she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I don't want to float at sea for a hundred days." ”

Outside the restaurant, night fell.

On this day, the Sally went into the depths of the sea.

On the deck of the Sally, several people, including Kate, formed a circle and waved and cheered. It turned out that Chen Hu and Lin Ci were wrestling, and on the second-floor terrace, Twilight and Winnie sat on the sofa next to the fence and watched the men's gladiatorial games, chuckling from time to time.

After dinner, while the guys on duty were packing up the dishes, Alice took out a small notebook and said, "In a few days we will pass through Dieppe, a big city of the Western Union." I'd like to dock there so I can get ashore for some supplies. ”

Wellington clapped his hands in approval: "Good idea, just go ashore and get some drink." ”

Lin Ci nodded and said, "Then we have to plan a plan, which people will go ashore to search for supplies, and which people will stay on the ship." ”

"It's not easy, I'm sure I'm going to go ashore, just call some boys to help carry things, and the rest will stay on the boat." Wellington had a sense of being in charge of supplies.

The giant is a semi-fourth-order Taiyi person, and with him, basically no one who goes ashore will be in much danger.

So the matter was settled. At this time, Elite ran over, pulled Alice's sleeve and said, "Sister, there is something in your room that keeps calling, you go and take a look." ”

Alice stood up in confusion and left the restaurant with Ellitt. When I came back a moment later, I had something like a black box in my hand, but it was a radio receiver.

Now the receiver is beeping, apparently someone is radioing a signal.

"Do you want to receive it?" Alice looked at Lin Ci and asked.

Wellington waved his hand: "It's okay to listen, maybe they have wine, then I can satisfy my cravings early." ”

Lin Xi stroked his forehead with his hand, and Twilight also chuckled beside him. Wellington shrugged and said, "Why, isn't this normal as an alcoholic?" ”

Alice also shook her head, then picked up the walkie-talkie, and immediately a man's voice sounded inside: "Is there anyone?" Anyone? ”

"Yes, who are you?" Alice asked.

"Thank goodness I'm Joeford, the captain of the Penguin. We need help, we need help......" The signal didn't seem to be very good, the other party's voice seemed intermittent, and there was simply a blind tone behind it.

"Hey, where are you?" Alice screamed a few words.

Just when she thought she had lost contact, the man who identified himself as Joford said, "Our ship ran aground at sea and is now unusable. And the hull is badly damaged and is sinking...... Please make sure you note that this is where we are now......"

He gave a coordinate, and continued, "We have something very important to bring to the Alliance, so please ......."

"Hey, Mr. Joford?"

I screamed a few more times, but there was no response at all. Alice put down the walkie-talkie and looked at Wellington and the others: "Do you want to go?" ”

"If it's human, there should be no problem." Wellington frowned, "But who can guarantee that they are not xenomorphs?" For the record, I'm not scared, but now at sea, I don't want to encounter those annoying things. ”

Lin Ci frowned and said, "If the other party is a xenomorph, I don't think they need to be rescued by radio." ”

"That's just as well." Wellington nodded.

Lin Ci said again: "And it sounds like they do have something very important to send to France, so there should still be human beings in France." ”

"That's for sure, even the big part of Switzerland can resist for so long, let alone other countries." Wellington said.

"Then let's take a look and make a judgment based on the actual situation." Lin Ci said a more compromise method, "If it's a different species, then we'll try to kill it." If it's humans, send them ashore, and we're going to go to that place anyway. ”

Alice rolled her eyes, "Dieppe." ”

Lin Xi muttered, "What a tongue-twister." ”

"Then I'll go sail, and you can inform everyone."

The Penguin's grounding was not far from the Sally, but when I saw the ship, it was already in the middle of the moon. In the moonlight, a heavily tilted ship could be faintly seen in the distance, and there was still a flickering fire on the ship, and a jet-black column of smoke rose from the ship, which was so obvious on the sea surface under the moonlight.

"Do you think there's anything strange?" Lin Ci put down the binoculars and handed it to Wellington next to him.

Wellington looked at the ship in the distance with his binoculars and said, "It is indeed unusual, the ship is about to sink, but there is not a single person calling for help." In my opinion, the people on board either abandoned the ship and escaped, or they ......"

"Dead."

Kate frowned, "Then do we still want to go over?" It reminds me of the ghost ship movie. ”

"It's like a ghost ship." Lin Ci shook his head and said, "Let's go over and take a look, and find out if there are any survivors." Second, let's see if there are any supplies on the ship. ”

So the Sally moved closer to the steamer and stopped when there was still some stretch of water to come. Lin Ci put a rubber boat on the water, and then Chen Hu, Kate and Wellington got into the rubber boat one after another, and the four of them rowed towards the boat.

It didn't take long for them to come to the side of the steamer, which had tilted at an angle of about thirty degrees, and many things had fallen to the surface of the sea and were sent far away by the sea.

Kate jumped onto the deck with a bundle of ropes, and then lowered the ropes for Lin to climb up. Chen Hu and Wellington boarded the boat one after another, and after Lin Xi matted, he first tied the rope and the rubber boat together to avoid being washed away by the sea, and then climbed up to the deck along the rope.

Standing on the sloping deck, Lin Xi saw that there was no figure on the deck, only some corners were burning fires. Wellington pointed to the control room, Lin Ci nodded, and the four of them headed towards the control room.

Walk up the stairs to the control room, the door of the control room is open, there is no sound inside, Wellington went in first, and after the others entered one after another, they saw that the control room was dark, but there was no half of a figure in sight, only the debris in the control room was dumped on the ground, and because the ship was tilted, they were piled up on this side of the door.

It can be seen that the instruments in the control room have been taken out of service, and apparently the ship has been scrapped. Judging from the specifications, this ship is a small cargo ship, which can only open the coastline or operate near the strait, and cannot go to the deep sea.

Since they are operating in shallow waters, they should be very familiar with the waters in this area, and since this location is still a short distance from the coast, there are no reefs, so they don't know what makes the ship run aground.

Wellington pointed to his feet, "Let's go to the captain's quarters and see if we can find any clues." If you don't find anything, go back to the Sari. ”

Lin Ci nodded in agreement, but made a small adjustment. He and Kate went to the captain's quarters, while Wellington and Chen Hu went elsewhere to find out if there were any supplies. Wellington gladly accepted, and now he wanted to go to the kitchen, where he might be able to find the wine he wanted.

When they returned to the deck, something seemed to flash in the corner of Lin Ci's eyes, and when he looked, it was a seabird flying into the sky.

After a few moments, they entered the cabin, which had only two floors, the first floor was the rooms of the ship's personnel, as well as the galley and dining room. The lower level is the cargo hold, but from the point of view of the ship's tilt, the cargo hold should have been flooded, and the water level of the ship is gradually rising. If nothing is done, perhaps in an hour or two the ship will sink into the sea.

In the narrow passage of the cabin, Lin Ci turned on a flashlight and found a schematic diagram on the wall. The structure of this level was indicated on the map, and he quickly found the location of the captain's quarters, and separated himself from Wellington.

Walking in the sloping passage is not difficult for Lin Ci and Kate, but it is not pleasant. Kate, in particular, uncharacteristically did not speak. This surprised Lin Ci.

Soon they stopped, and beyond that was the captain's quarters.

The door of the captain's room was closed, and Lin Ci pushed it with his hand, but the door did not move at all, as if it was pressed by something and could not be opened. Lin Ci motioned for Kate to step back, he raised his left hand, his arm was immediately deformed, and in the blink of an eye, blood appeared in the air.

Lin Ci raised the blood devouring and grabbed it gently, and the door was torn open like paper paste, and at that moment something slipped out of the back, but it was a chair or something, it turned out that these debris pressed the door.

"I'll go in first." Lin Ci said, the person jumped up, grabbed the door frame with his hand and sent himself into the captain's room. He stood firm by the wall inside the door, then took the flashlight in his mouth and glanced inside, when suddenly a figure appeared in the light.

It happened that Kate also jumped in, and suddenly saw the figure, Kate couldn't help but cry out: "Wow, who is it?" Stand there and don't move! ”

"Don't be nervous." Lin Ci shook his head, and under the light, the man slipped and fell in the corner of the wall on the other side. Holding a silver-gray suitcase in his hand, his head was hunched, and there were large blood stains under his body, which looked like a bad luck. Lin Ci jumped to the other side of the door and walked along the corner towards the corpse.

He squatted down next to the corpse, and saw a diary falling next to the corpse, which was opened, and there were the words "Nautical Diary" in it, and the signature below was Joeford.

"Mr. Captain, why are you dead...... Lin Ci picked up the corpse's hand, lifted the silver-gray suitcase, and shook it, there was no sound in it, it seemed that there was nothing in the box.

But the box was clung to by Joeford, which was obviously an important thing. And the box has a combination lock, and it has not been opened, so if there is any valuables, it should still be in the box.

Maybe this box is what Joford was going to send to France, but alas, the captain is lying here forever.

Lin Ci suddenly sighed, he pulled away the corpse's other arm, and then gasped. The corpse's chest cavity was almost gone, and a large hole had been opened in the chest, revealing a spine with flesh and blood, which supported the corpse from falling.

The edges of the large hole in his chest were not neat, and it looked like he had been eaten by something like a gun, rather than by something.

Lin Ci looked around again, and sure enough, except for some scattered meat crumbs, he couldn't see any trace of internal organs.

He thought for a moment and put his hand into the corpse, which contained nothing.

This Mr. Captain, he has been hollowed out by something!
