Chapter 171: The Secret of Perhentian Island (7)

Lan Dong's tone was so weak that Meng Hui wanted to hit someone when he heard it. He didn't seem to care at all about being trapped here, not being poisoned, or even dying in the end. His only worries and fears are because of the unknown.

The unknown is always more terrifying than death, and it can make people break down more mentally.

Everyone in this world knows that their ultimate destination is death, no matter how long or short they live, everyone will end up the same, and everyone will approach their own grave before a new way of life is invented.

This is something that everyone knows by heart, so when I think about it, I feel panicked, scared, and even a little desperate. But what comes after the thought of death? Is it nothingness or reincarnation? What happens before you die? Is it feeling nothing or tormented? It's these unknown and unknowable things that make people shudder even more.

"This island, this wooden house, seems to have an invisible shadow looming over the island, isolating it from the world, full of dangers, trying to force us into madness before we die." Bao Lu suddenly stopped roaring wildly, and there was an incomparably fragile look on his young face full of anger.

"What kind of literary youth are you pretending to be here all of a sudden?" Seeing his completely different expression from usual, Shi Fatzi felt an indescribable complex emotion in his heart. It's like a mad dog that usually barks at people when it's okay, and one day suddenly whimperes in a helpless posture, and his wet eyes are full of sadness.

Meng Hui felt that everyone's mood had begun to take a sharp turn for the worse, and he could still make a little joke when he said that he was going to repair the electric fan, but now he was about to lose his support. She kept telling herself in her heart that this task was different from before, so she had to cheer up and give full play to the improved intelligence, and more importantly, let her mentality be stable and not collapse.

"Bao Lu, why don't you go out with me, let's go to the edge of the sea rock to get some seaweed and try to purify the water, even if it can't be completely detoxified, I believe it can still be of some use."

Meng Hui originally wanted to call the most useful Grady together, and being with calm people could influence each other, and they would do things faster. But it occurred to her that the atmosphere in the room had reached a critical point, and it might explode at any point.

Rather than leave the most impulsive bag behind, it is better to take him with you and control him, and let the calm Grady stay behind, and if necessary, he can subdue everyone alone.

Grady quickly understood what she meant, and turned to Bao Lu and persuaded, "Bao, you go out and breathe." ”

Bao Lu was like a fierce beast with its teeth extracted, he hung his head and didn't say a word, and followed Meng Hui out of the door.

The light of the setting sun greedily devoured the clouds, and the fire-like red made the thin clouds look like sheets of burning paper, bordered with gold and constantly changing shapes, as if trying to break out of this huge fire.

Bao Lu looked at the sky all the way, stumbling on his feet, stumbling forward again and again by his own footsteps for a while, and then couldn't help but sit on the ground and look into the distance in a daze.

Meng Hui didn't open his mouth to persuade him to cheer up and face it, it was a difficult task for her, but for the people in the road and the wooden house, this was the real life.

"Tusa Sha!" Walking to the point where the rocky beach meets the sea, the sound of the waves repeatedly crashing against the shore was deafening, and Bao Lu could only raise his voice and shout behind him, "Do you think we will die here?" ”

Meng Hui was bending down to look for seaweed, and if she could be found in a crevice in the rock, she wouldn't have to go into the water. Hearing Bao Lu's words, she straightened up and turned her head, and calmly shouted at him: "I only know that if we don't find seaweed water, we will all die of thirst soon!" ”

Bao Lu seemed to think that asking her was in vain, and after a while of weakness, he came back to his strength, and scolded at the sky in the distance, kicking the sea water with a rattling sound, as if he wanted to kick the waves back into the open sea.

Meng Hui ignored him, and devoted a wisp of thought to his movements, and more thoughts were all used to find seaweed. She soon saw something like a green mist under the rocks at the bottom of the sea, and quickly pulled it out while Bao Lu was not paying attention, and alarmed a few small fish hiding inside.

"Found a little! Pack the way! Have you noticed? ”

"Urgent? Aren't I TM looking for? ”

Meng Hui pouted and didn't pay attention to him anymore, since he still had the spirit to scold, it was back to normal. The two of them were silent and dug up several large clumps of seaweed, of different types, some dark green and some light green, which were soft and greasy on the rocky beach and looked a little disgusting.

"Enough, right? Damn, the thought of drinking this water makes me want to vomit now! ”

"If it's not enough, I have to go back, it's getting dark, Shi Fatzi and Lan Dong will go out on patrol soon, I have to go back to guard the water."

Bao Lu held back his nausea and picked up a part of the seaweed, and sneered: "Hey, who would dare to drink the broken water?" ”

"Just find something to do for yourself." Meng Hui followed him with a small clump of slippery and smelly seaweed, and quickened his pace in the direction of the wooden house.

Where the setting sun could not shine, it turned black, and the clouds there were like black smoke left behind by burning, and the sky was distorted in the wolfing of flames and black smoke, low, oppressive, and could collapse at any moment.

"Look at this place! Even the sky is more terrible than in the city, and this sea, like a place where sea monsters live? What kind of sea monster in the Bible, Leviathan, if it really exists, it must live in this kind of place! ”

Meng Hui followed his eyes and looked into the distance, the sea was extremely calm, burning in the last madness of the setting sun, even if there were no wild and turbulent waves, it could still make the small human beings feel awe and fear.

Meng Hui stopped abruptly, stood still in front of the cabin and said to Bao Lu: "What did you just say?" Leviathan in the Bible? ”

"What's wrong? Can't you see that Lao Tzu is literate? Bao Lu snorted coldly, turned his head with disdain in his eyes and continued to walk forward, "Lao Tzu is a poet!" ”

"......" Meng Hui didn't know what the hell he was suddenly arrogant, and this was not what she wanted to ask at all, "I mean, you just mentioned Leviathan, I remember that monster is the evil monster that represents jealousy in the Bible, right?" ”

"It breathes flames from its mouth, smoke from its nose, sharp teeth, and a body as strong as armor. Ruthless and violent, it searches for prey in the ocean and makes the creatures around it look striking. Bao Lu stood at the back door of the wooden house, looking at Meng Huiyou under the steps with pride, "In the Book of Job. ”

Meng Hui didn't know much about the Bible, and even the Leviathan had accidentally seen it when she was on the Internet, and she didn't care where the Leviathan came from, or even what it represented.

Importantly, the sea monster reminded her of religion and thus the clues that could tie it all together.
