Chapter 1713: Death Stop (3)
Zhang Ying took two sips hard, and her emotions eased.
I observed the situation inside the cold storage. There is no problem with the cold storage of the Oriental Cruises, it is still constantly creating cool air, and the cold wind is blowing non-stop in the freezer. The soul of a cold person is going to freeze. But why does food spoil in a storage space with a very low temperature?
I looked at the grayish color of the food, crouched down, and reached for an apple to take a look. But as soon as his fingers touched the apple, the whole fruit that was irregularly round collapsed and turned into a cloud of ashes.
"Isn't the food rotten......," I was dumbfounded, and it took me a long time before I stammered, "It's because it's been stored for too long and weathered." ”
"Weathering?" Brother Pig buckled his head: "I don't have a high diploma, don't lie to me." It is said that weathering takes a long time. ”
My lips shook a few times, unable to hide the shock inside: "It does take a long time. In the case of this apple, if it is to achieve a state where it retains its shape but the constituent substance has been powdered, it will have to be placed in a confined space for at least tens of thousands of years. ”
"Ten thousand years!" Everyone shook their heads in disbelief. Even I can't accept this inference.
The ship is still so new, how can it be weathered for 10,000 years. Or is it just the food on board, for some now inexplicable reason, that in a short period of time has a similar effect to weathering?
There is too little information to continue to deduce.
"The ingredients can't be used, let's go to the commissary and find something." Zou Hui searched again in the kitchen, and finally found that all the food, even the oil, sauce, vinegar and rice, was inedible. Everything else is fine, pots and pans are as good as new, as if only food can be eaten in the mouth that has deteriorated.
"Since the food brought by Song Ying and Zhang Ying can be eaten, the snacks in the commissary should also fill the stomach." The captain explained. Hunger is also a very subjective sin, once you feel hungry, your brain will constantly secrete hunger hormones, telling you that your body needs nutrients, even if your body is not hungry. But this hormone can affect your judgment, irritate your nerves, and make you short-tempered.
At least a few of the ten of us were in a bad mood because they were hungry.
Everyone moved from the second floor to the first floor, and the commissary was at the back of the deck on the first floor of the Oriental Cruises. I've been there before, and the scale is okay, like a small convenience store in the city.
Leaving the warm dining room, the cold air outside the window seemed even colder. The countless air particles in the cold are like invisible knives, and they can even cut through thin clothes into the flesh. Even if there is still not a trace of wind, the cold person cannot bear it.
Hey! When did it start to run out of wind again?
I looked down at the water, but the water was not stirred by the boat: "Captain, why did the boat stop suddenly?" ”
"I haven't stopped the boat!" Zou Hui also looked out of the boat. Sure enough, the ship stopped at some point.
On the calm and waveless waters, there was a dead silence on the stopped boat. Reflecting the ashes of the sky, it seems that even we, the living, have weathered together!
"It's weird, is there a problem with the automatic driving?" The captain was puzzled: "Only when the system cannot solve the situation, the automatic driving will slowly and automatically stop the ship and actively switch to manual mode." But this body of water is wide and unobscured, and it is impossible to disturb the system. ”
"Leave it alone, starve. Find something to eat. "Hunger has a much greater impact on those around us than you think. Wu Jun, a fat otaku who has never liked to talk, is also impatient.
Most people echoed him, wanting to find something to eat to fill their stomachs first. Everyone didn't care about the boat, and ran towards the commissary.
Niuniu deliberately pulled me and fell to the end: "Brother, brother who doesn't say anything at night." Now that things are all bad like this, Niuniu doesn't know if she can go back alive. You should tell Niu Niu about hiding it from me. Why did you bring Niu Niu on this trip? ”
I burped some muffled sounds from deep in my throat, but I struggled to speak. just glanced at Zheng Xiaotong, who was two meters away in front of him, a few times.
"Sure enough, it's related to my aunt!" Niuniu's face changed.
"Not bad." I pondered for a while, but finally decided to tell what I had discovered: "As early as the end of the previous case, I received a letter claiming to be M. He said that my guardian Li Mengyue was in danger, and Yaxin's forces hoped to use what they got from her body to set up some kind of conspiracy. also said that if I don't believe it, I'll go see Shi Yueying's coffin! ”
I smiled wryly. Now it seems that it is absolutely wrong to easily believe in a guy who doesn't even dare to show his true face. Otherwise, I wouldn't have fallen into such an inexplicable situation.
"What's in my aunt's coffin?" Concerning the few relatives she had left, Little Lori couldn't help but get anxious.
I looked gloomy: "There's nothing in the coffin." ”
"Nothing?" Niu Niu was a little puzzled at first, and then the whole person jumped up: "What about the corpse?" ”
Although cremation has already been implemented in China, Shi Yueying's hometown Shijialing still pursues the tradition of physical burial, and according to the family rules, it must be implemented completely.
Shi Yueying and Niuniu were both bred by the energy of a certain bone sealed by Old Man Chen, the life in the Yin Soul Jar. Who knows what terrible consequences will arise if tradition is not followed.
So it took me a lot of effort to bury her body in the cemetery.
"Your aunt, her corpse, is gone!" I slowly spat these words out of my throat, and my whole body felt a sense of collapse.
"Brother, you mean, it's possible that my aunt is not dead?" Little Lori's eyes were glowing, and her face was showing ecstasy. Her gaze was the same as mine, and finally landed on the back of Zheng Xiaotong in front of her.
"Could she be my aunt?" Niu Niu bit her lip: "From the back to the breath, it's too similar." ”
"That's what I'm thinking about, too. Why did M want me to see Shi Yueying's grave? Why did he want me to set foot on the Oriental Cruises? On the boat, there is a girl who only needs to fine-tune her face to be almost exactly the same as Shi Yueying. I touched my chin and hesitated, "It's so suspicious." What does that M want to do? ”
"No matter what he wants to do, Niuniu has a goal. I'm going to knock on the side to see if this sister Zheng Xiaotong is an aunt. If she had amnesia, someone had adjusted her appearance, and she had been instilled with new memories. Those memories should not be infallible. ”
