Xingyu and Mia sailed southwest in the direction Dr. Ho had said. Fortunately, the southwest monsoon was blowing, and they sailed in the direction of the wind. Five hours later, they saw a medium-sized engineering vessel with a boom on the left and right ahead. This type of engineering vessel is generally engaged in maintenance purposes.

Although Dr. Ho said that the satellite could not observe the ship's human signs, Xingyu still observed from a distance for a while. After making sure that there was no one, they sailed the drifting boat closer to the engineering ship.

When they boarded the ship, they cautiously and softly walked to the wheelhouse on the highest aft level. When they entered the driver's cab, which was empty, they found that it was not messy. And it's not like it's been unused for a long time, and there's not even dust in it. There are all kinds of indications that there may still be people alive on the ship.

This situation also made Xingyu dare not rummage through the cab to avoid misunderstandings. Heung-woo asked Mia, who was holding a pistol, to stay in the wheelhouse and search the rest of the construction ship by himself. Mia, on the other hand, was in the wheelhouse, condescending to observe the situation on the deck.

Xingyu took a shotgun and carefully searched the engineering ship. Soon, Xingyu understood why there was no one on this ship. Heung-woo walked down the stairway to the deck below, and as soon as he opened it, a foul smell gushed out. The stinky Xingyu immediately shut down. Xingyu vaguely knew what was inside. Heungwoo held his breath and plucked up the courage to open the door again. Inside was a living room, and Heung-woo saw that there were 5 swollen corpses sitting on the sofa inside. Xingyu saw that the corners of the corpse's mouth had traces of dried liquid. These traces indicate that the group was poisoned and killed. Xingyu hurriedly watched for a while, then closed the door and ran to the studio upstairs. Then rush to the deck. Xingyu didn't dare to gasp and breathe when he reached the deck. Heungwoo gasped as he looked up at the front window of the cab on the first floor. Xingyu saw Miya looking at him from behind the window, and Xingyu hurriedly gestured to Miya with a good hand.

Xingyu found a sealed chemical protective suit in the studio. With Miya's help, Xingyu put on a sealed chemical protection suit. Xingyu asks Mia to go back to the cab and tells Miya not to look outside. These swollen corpses, I'm afraid that anyone who looks at them will leave a shadow, so Xingyu doesn't want Miya to see it.

Xingyu, who was wearing a sealed chemical protection suit, walked into the living room again. Heung-woo walked into the adjoining bedroom from the living room and saw that there were two bodies on the bed inside. After carefully observing the corpses, Xingyu guessed that they had died of poisoning en masse. After that, Xingyu moved the bodies to the lifeboat on the deck. Heung-woo then lowered the lifeboat into the sea and let the waves take away the funeral boat.

After sending the funeral ship away, Xingyu searched it again, wanting to make sure that the ship was not hiding a living person. Heung-woo returns to the wheelhouse and tells Mia that the ship is safe. But Mia pointed to a door behind the cab and said, "Behind that door, there should be a room." The two opened the door and walked in, revealing a small living room. Inside the living room, there is also a door. Mia was surprised and asked, "Why is there a living room?" Xingyu replied in a guessing tone: "This should be the captain's living room." In general, the captain's living room is separate from the crew's living room. Xingyu pointed to the door inside and continued; Behind that door was supposed to be the captain's bedroom. After Xingyu finished speaking, he walked over and wanted to open the door. However, he found that the door was locked. Heungwoo and Mia immediately became nervous, and the door was locked from the inside to indicate that there was someone inside.

After Heungwoo knocked on the door, he didn't hear a response from inside. When Heungwoo breaks down the door, he finds a corpse lying on the bed inside. The man had just passed away, and he was not swollen or smelly. Xingyu found that this corpse was the same as the corpse found before, and there were traces of dried liquid at the corners of his mouth. But the time of death is different. Xingyu said with some anger: "This person should be the captain." The time of death is not the same as that of other crew members. I'm guessing he was going to take the poison with the crew, or if he simply ordered the entire crew to be poisoned. But at that time, he didn't dare to take poison himself, and maybe he couldn't stand it later, so he took poison and died. ”

Although on deck, there is also a lifeboat. But Xingyu didn't want to waste another small boat, and he also doubted the captain's character during his lifetime. So Xingyu directly threw the captain's body into the sea, and even the form of sea burial was saved.

After that, Heungwoo and Mia began to rummage through the ship's items. The two were in the cab and found a weapons cabinet. After prying open the weapons cabinet, they found two automatic rifles, two pistols, two spear guns, a flare gun and a batch of ammunition inside. Xingyu excitedly picked up the automatic rifle to check, but was disappointed to find that it was a civilian version of the rifle. This automatic rifle, usually after retiring from the army, dismantles the automatic device and changes it to semi-automatic and sells it to the civilian population. Therefore, this rifle, although it has the appearance of an automatic rifle, cannot fire continuously.

After Xingyu put the rifle back in the gun cabinet, the two went downstairs to the studio to check. Xingyu found that the studio was fully equipped, with welding machines, cutting torches, grinding wheel cutters and drilling machines. Then, the two of them walked to the deck to check the booms on the left and right. The two of them can't operate the boom, and they can only judge from their appearance that the boom can still be used. Below the deck is the cargo hold, which contains a batch of materials for the repair ship.

After that, they walked to the engine room behind the cargo compartment. Xingyu found that there was still fuel in the fuel tank. And also found the reserve oil drum in the storage room. This discovery made Xing Yule broken, and immediately pulled Mia back to the cab. Xingyu knows that modern boats are automated, and the entire ship can be operated from the wheelhouse. So after the two returned to the cab, Xingyu immediately tried to start the engine. After the engine started smoothly, the two danced excitedly. Mia shouted excitedly: "Haha! We've got a boat. But Xingyu said with a wicked smile: "Hehe! Having a ship is only temporary. Such boats are afraid of bad weather. A storm can be overturned by a big wave. Seeing Miya's puzzled expression, Xingyu continued, "These ships can sail the ocean because there is a weather forecast that allows them to avoid bad weather. After the end of the world, there is no weather forecast. Miya glared at Xingyu viciously and said, "So you're still so happy?" Xingyu replied proudly: "Although this ship can't withstand the wind and waves, it can build a ship that can withstand the wind and waves." After listening to this, Mia looked at Xingyu in surprise.

In fact, when he saw the three barges the day before yesterday, Xingyu had this idea. It's just that there was no engineering ship at that time, so the three barges were abandoned. But that's no longer the case. After Miya knew Xingyu's thoughts, she asked worriedly: "I met a barge the day before yesterday, can I still find it?" Xingyu also said worriedly: "We can only follow the current to find it, hoping to find it." Fortunately, the construction vessel had plenty of fuel. Eventually, they decided to start looking for the three barges the next day.

Xingyu and Mia didn't dare to use the ship's bedroom and living room, so they had to sleep in the wheelhouse that night.
