Even hiding too much stuff. Even for me.

The ship fell silent again, and no one wanted to say more. Time passed again, but it wasn't long before the captain waved me over, "Come here, Mr. Nightfall." ”

Walking over by herself, Zou Hui looked bitter: "Something is wrong." ”

"What's wrong?" I frowned.

"I just calculated the time and we drove forward for three hours. The speed at which the ship was moving at full speed was about thirty knots per hour. The water is calm and the speed is easy to pick up......"

Before he could explain, I understood: "You mean that we have been driving at least ninety kilometers in the same direction. But you still can't find a shore? ”

The captain nodded.

Old Man Zhou was surprised: "The old man walked across the Yangtze River. It seems that there is no water area in the Yangtze River basin, which can be more than 90 kilometers in diameter. ”

My face was also not very good-looking: "Not bad! The widest part of the Yangtze River is on the north bank of the estuary. But even there, the width is only about eight or nine kilometers, and the water is very fast. If I had to say that it was because of the fog, the ship passed through a tributary and entered a wide lake like backwater......"

I found a map of the waters of the Yangtze River in the cockpit, and made a few gestures with my hand: "The largest lake connected by the tributaries should be Panyang Lake." You need to go through Yichang, Wuhan, and Jiujiang. It was at least four days' journey from before we were lost, passing through three important world-class dams. It's simply not possible. On top of that, the widest part of Panyang Lake is only more than 70 kilometers, and it is now the dry season, and the grass at the bottom of the lake is taller than a person. So this is definitely not Panyang Lake. ”

Speaking of which, I paused: "So I have two guesses now. First, perhaps we have entered some hidden and still undiscovered tributary of the Yangtze River, and the latitude and longitude are very close to the North Pole. That's why Miss Zheng Xiaotong didn't get sick. ”

"What about the second one?" Male couple Song Ying asked.

"Have you ever heard of an unbelievable and famous event? In 1985, a passenger plane that had been missing for half a century from the Philippines to Binchenao Island 48 years ago was found in a swamp in New Guinea. Incomprehensibly, the plane appeared to be as brand new as it had been when it disappeared. ”

I said: "The newspaper found in the cabin, dated the third Sunday of January 1937, and the hot coffee in the thermos, but everyone on the plane was missing. Even if the entire swamp was hollowed out, the police did not find the body of a single victim. Do you think this story is very similar to our current situation? ”

Everyone took my words around in their heads, trying to understand.

"Brother, you mean, we're now caught in some kind of special geography like the Bermuda Delta?" It's still Niu Niu who is smart and quickly understands.

I nodded: "There are so many mysteries on Earth, who knows how many Bermudas are hidden." What's more, this ancient Yangtze River basin is extremely mysterious, and each tributary is full of countless bizarre myths and legends about time and space. ”

Captain Zou Hui was also looking at the map: "But in modern society, satellites have taken pictures of every inch of the earth, and the map on this ship is very accurate." I can't find enough room to hide such a large lake in your explanation. ”

I shrugged my shoulders: "Don't put too much faith in the map under your nose, the map that is now widely used around the world, was written by a cartographer named Rumod Mocator more than 400 years ago. ”

His invention of the "Mohs projection method" in 1587 is still in use today, and the world maps we are familiar with, including online electronic maps, have always been like this. However, there is a serious flaw in this cartography, in the sense that the maps we are used to are actually wrong. I tapped my hand on the map: "Because this kind of map allows us to see only what we want to see." ”

Couple Zhang Ying clapped her hands and interrupted our discussion: "Things are already like this, don't talk about things I don't understand." Anyone is hungry, let's go to the restaurant and find something to eat. ”

Hearing her say this, she actually found out that she was hungry for a long time, but the current situation is really weird, and she is desperately trying to endure it.

"Let's go eat first." After the captain turned on the Autopilot mode of the Eastern Cruises, a group of people braved the cold outside and walked towards the restaurant on the second floor.

But when we really started looking for ingredients, we found even more terrible facts.

"What's going on?" Zhang Ying, who was so hungry that she couldn't stand it, entered the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. After that, the whole person was stunned!

The huge refrigerator was crowded with ingredients, all of which looked like they were rotten.

The cruise ship needs to cook meals for more than 300 people every day, and the supply is very large, so there is a lot of variety of ingredients to prepare. The kitchen fridge is stocked with only the ingredients that need to be eaten on the day. But the various ingredients arranged in a neat row were all gray, and as the door opened, a violent stench came to the face.

Zhang Ying, who bore the brunt of the attack, bent down and vomited directly.

"How can it be so thoroughly corrupted?" Captain Zou Hui's face changed greatly: "It's obviously fresh goods purchased." It will not be stored for more than four days. And less than a day has passed since the accident. Even under normal circumstances, cooked food can't rot so horribly. ”

I leaned over, endured the amazing stench, looked at it a few times, and shook my head: "I can't eat any food." Check it out in the freezer. The freezer of the cruise ship is usually more than ten degrees below zero, and the food placed in it cannot be broken for half a year. ”

Although he said that, a very ominous premonition rose in his heart. The group hurried through the back door of the kitchen and opened the freezer. The heavy metal door sealed off the life-sustaining enclosed space well, but when the thick solid door opened, everyone despaired.

There was food in the freezer, plenty of food. But for some reason, all the food stored was moldy. The meat is ash, the leaves are ash, and the fruit is gray. A disgusting gloom crawled all the food, like the white and negative sky outside the ship.

"How is that possible!" Zhang Ying trembled and hugged her head: "There is nothing to eat, what should we do." If we can't find land, will we starve to death on this damn ship? ”

"If you can't die of hunger, come, drink saliva and eat some snacks to satisfy your hunger." The boyfriend comforted her and took out snacks and water from his carry-on backpack and gave it to her.
