Chapter 1705: The Dead Ship (3)
The more I observed, the more bizarre it became.
I finally went down to the second floor, but it was still quiet, there was no crew member, not even a single person to be seen.
Then down the stairwell to the deck, there should be more than 300 old people, and the first floor of dozens of sunset groups is also quiet and quiet, and no sound can be heard. Strangely, as the altitude decreased, the dense fog became much weaker.
On the clean deck, rows of hatches were closed, and none of the crew members who were supposed to be busy coming and going were still found, not even the night watchman.
It was as if the whole ship was really dead, and only the three of us were still alive, dying. Did everyone get off the boat? No, how is this possible, it was clear that not long ago there was a lot of noise, there was no collision with the ship, and there were no other sudden accidents. How is it possible that before we know it, everyone disembarks and leaves?
Things are so weird!
My heart sank to the bottom, heavy, beating wildly.
Zheng Xiaotong couldn't stand it at first, and after she felt the seriousness of the matter, she raised her voice and shouted a few times: "Hey, is there anyone?" Who's still on the boat, squeak! ”
On the Oriental Cruise, her voice didn't travel far before it was buried in the white mist. All that remains is the echo that keeps reverberating in our ear cavity.
"Where have all the people gone?" A hint of panic crossed the girl's face: "What about the staff on board?" No, they didn't even notify us and just ran away! ”
"It's unlikely." I shook my head, my mind spinning around several times, but I still couldn't think of a reason.
The fog was obviously fading, and the line of sight was wider. My hand left the cabin wall, and I took several steps forward, quickly grasping the railing of the deck. Just outside this railing is the Yangtze River. But I couldn't hear the slightest sound of the river flowing, nor could I feel the river breeze.
The fog swirled around, and the eye could only see a white expanse, and there was no reference outside the window. It's like the Oriental Cruise Line is put in a closed box, even the air, is dead.
My eyes, ears, nose, and all the organs that feel the outside world are constantly surging with discomfort. Is there really no one on the ship? He frowned, frowned vigorously, and finally made a decision.
"Miss Zheng, Niuniu, the three of us will find three cabins and knock on them." I went back to the stairs and said to the two of them.
Zheng Xiaotong nodded: "Yes, maybe they all went to sleep." The biological clock of the elderly is already a bit messier than that of our young people. ”
Niuniu naturally agreed, and now at the moment, there is only this way. If you blindly look for the crew, the ghost will know where the crew is.
The three of us randomly found three connected cabins and knocked on the hatch at the same time. The hollow knocking sound echoed endlessly, but after a few seconds, he was already blushing and stopped them: "Don't knock, you two come here." ”
When the puzzled Niuniu and Niu approached me, I pushed the door hard, and the iron door of the cabin made a screeching sound, and it was actually open.
For some reason, the fog apparently couldn't get into the room. The line of sight in the open door was good, and before the line of sight could be expanded, a unique smell that would be emitted by the elderly after living for a long time came flooding in.
This cabin has six steel-framed beds. The beds are neatly made, there are some oily paper bags hanging at the head of the bed, and there are old people's luggage under the bed. But there was no one in the room.
Not a single one. The luggage was well closed, and there were even some medications that the elderly often needed on the table in the center of the cabin. Older people usually have a slow metabolism, so their body odor is very strong. A closed room with six elderly people overflowing with the smell of old people.
This means that, not so long ago, there were still people in the room. But where did the people in this cabin go? If it was really disembarking and leaving, how could it be possible not to take the luggage, or even a table full of life-sustaining, the medicines that had to be taken every day?
Weird! There was no one on deck, no one in the cabin, and no one looked like they had disembarked. Did they gather in some other room?
"Look in another room." My mind was in a mess, and when I saw that there was no clue in this room, I quickly walked out.
Strange fog, coupled with the missing old man. The situation has taken a turn for the worse! Not only Zheng Xiaotong, but even Niuniu was scared.
Zheng Xiaotong's lips turned white from being frightened by the mysterious and terrifying atmosphere on the ship, and his whole body trembled.
The three of us went back to the deck, found a room and knocked on it. The door was still not locked, and when I pushed it open, the breath of life inside came to my face. The luggage was also there, and even the tea cup that had been drunk was not covered, and there was a wisp of water vapor alone.
In the room, there was still no one to be found.
We went down the deck room by room, one by one. Every room is the same, occupied, and even the smell of the owner remains. But it's just no one!
It's as if everyone really left.
Dozens of rooms on the deck of the Oriental Cruise, more than 300 old people, just disappeared out of thin air. No matter how you think about it, it feels very strange. If I insist that they didn't leave, they just gathered in a room on the ship. But as far as I know, the whole ship, not that big, can accommodate more than three hundred people.
After all, the design of this cruise ship is very old and relatively small. There isn't much entertainment to be offered.
Unless, the restaurant!
"Brother, go and have a look at the restaurant." Niu Niu obviously thought to me: "If the old people don't get off the boat, they will have to stay in the restaurant!" ”
Zheng Xiaotong's mind turned around before she realized, and she looked bitter: "Mr. Night, do you think we are just dreaming?" ”
"Don't be stupid, we didn't dream. At least I don't think it's a dream! I shook my head and led the two of them upstairs again.
At this moment, a dark shadow flashed not far away, and when it saw us, it actually pulled out its legs and fled in the opposite direction.
"Chase!" When I finally saw a living creature, I chased after it without thinking.
The black shadow in the white mist ran fast, and the guy was short and carried a large bag on his back, but he was quite flexible.
I'm not very good at physical strength, Niu Niu has short calves, and after running for a while, I saw that the little man was about to disappear into the thick fog.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Xiaotong saw that the situation was not good, and when he was in a hurry, he actually broke out at an astonishing speed. Rushing out quickly in a posture comparable to that of a professional athlete, he grabbed the small man when he was taken aback and didn't even react.
