[18] Determination
Screams and loud noises came from all directions, and the Urashima Maru was in chaos, and all the lights on the deck suddenly went out, and a broken cable sparked and writhed wildly on the deck like a wild snake, and the burst of cables was thrown onto a canvas covering the supplies, and a raging fire was immediately ignited. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lin Fan was shrinking behind a supply box in the corner, his whole body trembling, he was completely stunned, the scene in front of him was something he could never have dreamed of! Several giant Ningen wreaked havoc on the deck of the Urashima Maru, destroying everything they saw, and the crew that stood in their way was either thrown into the sea or splashed with blood on the spot.
How so?!
Where did these Great Ningen come from?!
Why are they attacking our ships?!
……
Lin Fan was thinking wildly in his mind, and suddenly there was a loud noise on the deck, he looked over and saw that there was a large tower crane seven or eight meters high in the middle of the ship that was knocked over by Ning En, and smashed into the tower in the middle of the ship.
That building!
- That's where the girl lives!
…… Is that girl still on it?
It seems that none of the people who boarded the plane just now saw her......
Lin Fan's heart tightened, and he rushed out from behind the material box without thinking about it, and rushed towards the central tower. The deck was in a mess, burning materials, and broken mechanical parts were everywhere, Lin Fan finally avoided those Ning En and came to the entrance of the central tower, unscrewed the hatch of the tower and flashed in.
It was very dark inside, and I don't know if it was because the power supply line was broken, and all the lights were turned off, and only some green emergency lights were on.
"Anyone?!" Lin Fan shouted.
"Who?!" The voice came from the room inside.
Soon a man with a flashlight ran out, and Lin Fan recognized the person as a researcher from Sanyo Science and Technology.
The researcher saw Lin Fan busy and said, "Young man, what are you doing here, hurry up and escape, the others are preparing to evacuate!" ”
"Evacuate? Where are you going to go? Is there anyone else here besides you? ”
"There are a few more, we are copying data in the central control room, and we will withdraw later, the captain and they are putting lifeboats outside, and everyone is ready to abandon the ship!"
"Huh?! Why abandon ship? ”
"Don't you see what's going on outside?! How many people those monsters have killed! If you want to stay alive and don't have to run away? ”
"This, but ......" Lin Fan didn't expect the situation to be so serious.
"By the way, have you seen a girl? It's the thin, handsome-looking girl who lives in this building! He remembered the purpose of his visit, and hurriedly gestured.
"No! That girl seems to have gone with the wise minister, right? ”
"What? But I didn't see her! I was there on the tarmac just now! ”
"Then I don't know! Now in this situation, you should worry about yourself first! I'm not going to talk nonsense with you, I'm still going to clean up! The researcher ran back inside.
Lin Fan followed the researcher and found that there was a central control room inside, and there were several people in the central control room in addition to the researcher, all of whom were busy using laptops to transfer data, or sorting out piles of materials and documents, and there were scattered documents on the ground, and no one cared about him.
"Is the girl really gone? But I really didn't see her on the tarmac...... I'll look for it again! Lin Fan thought to himself.
So he followed the rough location of the girl's room, and slowly groped his way through the dimly lit corridor, and he didn't see anyone else along the way, but he heard the sound of metal hitting outside the tower, and the loud sound shook his heart, and he didn't know what terrible things were going on outside.
Lin Fan came to the third floor of the tower, he remembered that the girl's room was on this floor, through the faint light of the emergency light, he saw that there were four rooms on both sides of the corridor, and the hatch of the one at the end of the room was open, faintly reflecting a little fire from the room.
He groped his way towards the room, and as soon as he reached the door, he saw a beautiful figure in the glow of the fire, and the girl stared ahead, and in front of her was a broken and deformed window, on which hung a huge hook, and the glass shards were shattered to the ground.
Outside the window was a fire-filled deck, and in the firelight flashed the figures of several huge white beasts.
“…… Are you okay?! Lin Fan said.
As if alarmed by Lin Fan's voice, the girl suddenly turned around, and a pair of eyes that were shining in the dark night were opposite Lin Fan.
"Huh?" A look of astonishment appeared on her face.
"You're the ......," her voice wasn't quite sure.
"Uh...... We met on the boat before, and that was when you folded a thousand paper cranes to pray for blessings that night......" Lin Fan hurriedly explained.
"Hmmm! I remember you. ”
“…… I saw the crane hit here, so come over and see if you're okay. ”
"I'm fine, thank you!"
"Well, that's good...... That's right! Why are you here alone, didn't you go with them? ”
"Wise Doctor, they were in a hurry, and I was no longer there when I went to find them......"
"I see...... By the way, I just heard from the people below that they are going to evacuate in a lifeboat, so let's go together! ”
"Are we going to abandon ship?"
"yes, you see the ship has been destroyed by those monsters like this, it will be dangerous to stay."
"But...... I think they're just trying to save it. ”
"What did you say?"
"Look there." The girl pointed out the window, Lin Fan looked in the direction she was pointing, and saw that there were three Da Ning En on the deck surrounding the water tank where Xiao Ning En was imprisoned, and there was a constant "bang bang" sound coming from there.
"Huh!? They're in! ......" Lin Fan exclaimed, he found that the three-headed Da Ning En was using his thick forearms to hit the top of the iron grille of the water tank, as if he wanted to smash the top cover of the water tank.
The girl said lightly: "They should want to release that little Ningen...... Maybe they were the little Ning's parents, or siblings, who came to save it. ”
"What?" Lin Fan was surprised, he looked out the window, this girl's judgment seemed to really explain everything in front of him.
"So to put it that way...... If we let that little Ningn go, they'll leave, right? ”
"I don't know...... I just think that little Ningn is pitiful......"
"In that case, let's go and release it!"
"Do you know how to let it out?"
"I'll have to ask the others, you wait for me." Lin Fan was just about to leave, but suddenly stopped and said, "...... Why don't you go with me! You may stay here...... Insecurity. ”
The girl looked at Lin Fan, then she nodded vigorously and said, "Hmm! ”
Lin Fan took the girl down from the third floor of the tower, and when they went down to the first floor, they happened to meet a few people with flashlights, Lin Fan recognized that it was the Sanyo researcher who was sorting out the information in the central control room just now, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.
The researcher who had met Lin Fan said, "Young man, come down and pull!" Ah, you've found her! That's just right! Come out with us, the captain is already on the other side of the boat ready for the lifeboat! ”
"Oh, okay...... Wait a minute! Do you know how to get that little Ning En out of the tank? Lin Fan stopped and asked.
The researcher asked with a puzzled expression, "What?" Do you want to put that little Ningen? Why are you letting it out?! ”
"I think those big Ningen outside came here to save that little Ningen, if they let it go, maybe they will leave!"
"That's what you say...... But now I can't do it! ”
"Why?"
"Because the device that opened the tank was on the deck next to the tank, but those monsters were there now, and people were sent to death in the past!"
"Is there no other way?" The girl beside Lin Fan suddenly asked.
"No more!" The researcher shook his head.
"I said it's important for everyone to run for their lives, let's go!" Several of the other researchers urged, and with that they unscrewed the tower's hatch and leaned out to take a look out of deck.
"What they said makes sense, it's too dangerous to rush over, it seems that there is no way to let that little Ning En out." Lin Fan said to the girl.
The girl lowered her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.
After making sure that there was no danger outside, the researchers walked out, and Lin Fan urged the girl, "Let's go too." ”
“…… Well, okay. She finally replied.
The two followed the researchers out of the tower, and there was no trace of Ning En behind the tower, it seemed that Ning En, who had been wreaking havoc on the ship before, had all gathered at the water tank, but at this moment the deck was already a mess, and many casualties could be seen at a glance.
They came out of the middle tower and headed towards the other side of the ship, and on the way they encountered no obstacles, and came to the other side of the hull without danger, and in a place on the side of the ship, where Lin Fan saw a group of people busy putting the lifeboats into the sea.
"One lifeboat for 25 people! In order, don't squeeze! Someone in the crowd shouted, and Lin Fan found that the person was Urashima Maru's first mate Yokozo Masao, who was directing the crew to board the ship, and beside him in a striking white uniform was the captain Mori Hidehiko, who was holding a cane in both hands and said nothing, looking grim.
Lin Fan wanted to know the current situation of the ship, so he stepped forward and asked, "Captain Maori...... What is the situation on board now, and why are we abandoning ship? ”
Seeing that it was him, Captain Maori sighed and said, "Don't you abandon the ship?" As you can see, Urashima Maru has been turned upside down by those brutes! And we can't stop them at all! ”
Lin Fan said: "I think they came to save that little Ning'en!" If you put the little Ningen in the tank, maybe they'll leave! Then we won't have to abandon ship. ”
Hidehiko Mori clenched the cane in his hand and said, "You say maybe?!" Don't think about these beasts with human thinking, look at how many people they killed me! How can you be sure that if you let that little beast go, they'll give up? ”
"But ......"
"Say no more! I've activated Urashima Maru's self-destruct device, and soon Urashima Maru will explode, and those brutes will be burned with this ship! ”
"What?! You're going to blow up Urashima Maru? Lin Fan exclaimed.
"Yes, that's what Vice President Kojima meant, we can't let anyone else find out about this Ningen!" Hidehiko Mori said in a resolute tone.
Lin Fan didn't expect them to be like this, he stood in place in a daze, and only turned around after half a ring to tell the girl the news. But there was no sign of the girl behind him, and he looked around at the crowd and found no sign of her. "Huh? Where is she? Lin Fan wondered in his heart.
"Did you see the girls coming along?" He found the researcher who had just been with him in the queue to board the ship and asked, "
"No~ Isn't she with you?"
"It was still there just now, but it's gone in a blink of an eye!"
At this time, a crew member next to him interjected: "Are you talking about a girl in a yellow down jacket?" ”
"Yes! That's her! Do you see her? Lin Fan hurriedly asked the man.
"She seems to have gone over there, and she can't stop screaming." The crew member pointed to the central tower road.
"What?! She ran back?! Lin Fan exclaimed, he hurriedly rushed out of the crowd to search for the girl's trace on the deck, but he couldn't find the girl's figure in an instant.
Why did she want to go back? Did you drop something? Why is it this time...... I can't run around, lest she come back and find me...... Lin Fan thought to himself.
But after waiting for a while, he still didn't see the girl come back, and the others boarded the lifeboat one after another, seeing that there were fewer and fewer people at the boarding place, Lin Fan became more and more anxious in his heart.
"Hey! It's your turn to get on board! At this time, someone next to him urged.
"Please wait! There's another girl who hasn't come back! Lin Fan shouted.
"Don't grind! This is the last ship! If you can't come back, you can't come back, your own life matters! ”
"But ......"
"Don't talk nonsense anymore!" That man has an airway.
"Okay......" Lin Fan hesitated to board the lifeboat hanging on the side of the ship.
As soon as he sat down, he heard the sailors on the same ship talking, "What if Urashima Maru blows us up?" ”
"Do you want to stay on the ship and wait for some monsters to kill you?"
"But it's also dangerous to abandon ship and escape!"
"Rest assured, we have a radio on the lifeboat to call for help, and the water and food can last for three or five days, enough to hold out until the rescue ship comes."
Lin Fan's heart was like a mess, and for some reason he couldn't let go of that girl.
"What if she doesn't come back in the end?"
"Isn't that ......?"
He suddenly remembered the scene when Li Jia was devoured by the giant snake, and she reached out to him in despair, but he didn't catch her......
"No! Can't let her ...... too I've got to go find her! ”
They staggered up from their seats, jumped out of the lifeboat that had begun to descend, and returned to the side of the boat.
"Hey! What are you doing?! The sailor behind him shouted.
"I'm going to find someone!"
Lin Fan didn't look back and ran to the central tower.
