Chapter 1: The Soul of the Ship
Shuangjiang City, Shuanglong Lake Scenic Area, in a remote riverside woods.
Chen Ran woke up from his coma in a daze, and was greeted by a large forest, dappled with sunlight and jagged shadows.
Chen Ran only felt that he was nauseous and wanted to vomit, and his head was still a little dizzy, and he tried hard to recall his experience.
By the way, Chen Ran suddenly remembered that he was about to graduate from college, and he went to the riverside with his classmates, but he didn't expect a terrorist incident on the passenger boat he was on.
At that time, some of the dozens of tourists suddenly attacked the people around them indiscriminately, as if they were crazy.
Several people were beaten to the point of bleeding, and the pleasure boat was in chaos.
The boat began to shake, and there was a disturbance, so there was no time to evacuate.
Some shouted, "The end of the world has come, sacrifice for the new era!" ”
Like fanatical terrorists, these people found some controlled knives out of nowhere, and rushed into the crowd to slash indiscriminately.
The situation on the boat was very dangerous, and these people did not let go of the tourists who wanted to leave by the lifeboats, and many people were cut by them and fell into the lake.
Chen Ran and several classmates were dispersed by the panicked crowd, and he hid in a corner, suddenly remembering the rumors about the end of the world that began to circulate on the Internet some time ago.
The rumors are well described, and the recent activity of the Earth should correct the apocalyptic view.
Frequent earthquakes, volcanoes, highly contagious unknown viruses, and various terrifying mutations in the animal kingdom......
All of these are heralds of the end of the world.
At the beginning, Chen Ran didn't believe these rumors as explained by the state, but recently the authenticity of the incident has become more and more prominent, and he is about to graduate from college.
I didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
The people who make trouble on the cruise ship are definitely the cultists of the Destruction Sect, these people are fanatical doomsday worshippers whose origins cannot be traced, and which have developed rapidly in the last six months, waging so-called "doomsday jihad" around the world.
If the end is inevitable, then these Destruction Cultists are definitely the accelerant for the end of the world.
Chen Ran, who was hiding in the corner of the cruise ship, heard countless screams in his ears, and his heart was full of anxiety, and he really felt the atmosphere of the end of the world.
Finally, he was still discovered by the gangsters, looking at the long knives in the hands of several people, Chen Ran mustered up the courage to jump and jump into Shuanglong Lake.
He would rather be drowned than hacked to death by these inhuman destroyers.
……
Chen Ran's palm suddenly hurt, he looked down, and it turned out that it was an ant that had been black that bit him.
There was a sharp pain at the tiger's mouth, and Chen Ran was startled, because the ant that bit his palm was the length of a finger, as if it had been magnified several times.
The bite marks on the palm of his hand were very obvious, and Chen Ran thought to himself, if it weren't for this huge ant's "mercy in the mouth", his fingers might have been bitten off by it!
Chen Ran stood up with a scream, and slammed his foot up and stepped on the ants!
The huge ant's movements were extremely flexible, and it easily slipped away from Chen Ran's feet, and Chen Ran immediately pursued.
Syllable!
The crisp sound of sneakers stepping on ants is the sound of ants being crushed.
The ants leaked a sticky liquid and dripped onto the leaves, eroding them into a large hole.
"Oh my God, what kind of ant is this?"
Chen Ran exclaimed in surprise, and he didn't care about the wetness on his body, so he immediately found a direction and ran away.
He heard a rustling sound in his ears, and when he looked back, he almost lost his soul, only to see countless ants crawling behind the dirt slope, some of those ants were even bigger than the one that had just been trampled to death by Chen Ran!
The ants followed the chemical smell to find the corpse of the dead ant, and in the blink of an eye it was covered with dead ants, and they shook their limbs, as if looking for Chen Ran, who had killed their own kind.
Chen Ran was shocked in his heart, he didn't dare to stay, he took three steps and made two steps, and fled quickly.
Chen Ran didn't know where he was in Shuanglong Lake now, he only hoped that he could go back to school as soon as possible.
It's summer, and although Chen Ran, who is dressed in sportswear, has fallen into the water, he has no symptoms such as a cold at all because he is young and healthy.
The mobile phone on his body is gone, this is Chen Ran's only communication tool, and he originally thought that he could find a way out through the mobile phone map positioning, but now it has become a luxury.
Fortunately, it was afternoon, and the only thing Chen Ran could use to judge the direction was the sun.
The sun was still scorching, and Chen Ran ran quickly, making himself covered in sweat, dirty and smelly, and very uncomfortable.
He suddenly saw someone lying on the edge of the lake, hey, a little familiar, as if it was one of the dozens of tourists on the cruise ship.
Chen Ran remembered that this woman, a woman who looked less than thirty years old, was very impressed because she had a big quarrel with the ticket sales staff when she got on the boat.
Could she be dead?
Chen Ran remembered in a trance that this woman had been slashed several times by the Destruction Sect, and her entire neck was crooked!
Chen Ran cautiously approached this woman, wanting to see if there was anything in the woman that could help him, if this woman did not die, he could save her life.
About half a meter beside the woman, Chen Ran was sure that the woman was dead, her severed neck was soaked in the lake water, and her clothes were ragged, which was very disgusting.
Chen Ran is calm and calm, he usually likes to watch horror movies with heavy taste, and he has a certain immunity to this kind of scene psychologically.
Resisting the urge to vomit, Chen Ran put his hand into the woman's pocket.
It would be nice if you could find the phone, the waterproof quality of the current mobile phone is good, maybe you can locate it.
Just when Chen Ran was searching in the woman's pocket in disappointment to no avail, the woman suddenly got up, grabbed Chen Ran's arm with both hands, and stared at Chen Ran with blank eyes on her crooked head.
Yes!
Chen Ran exclaimed, he was finally frightened.
Chen Ran sat a few steps away, his legs quickly retreated, and a large piece of mud kicked out, wasn't that woman dead? Why do you still move?
The woman trembled and crawled slowly, opening her mouth and blood mixed with mud and sand flowed out.
The woman crawled towards Chen Ran, and the bloody mouth seemed to want to devour Chen Ran.
Chen Ran was stunned for a few seconds, adrenaline was secreted violently, and he suddenly thought of the picture of the American drama "The Walking Dead", the woman in front of him who came back from the dead has become a zombie, right?
Is the end of the world really coming?
"The end of the world has come!"
Chen Ran watched the female zombie slowly crawl over, spitting out the voice word by word, but he became calm.
Chen Ran stood up, picked up a stone, and shouted in his mouth: "Get out, Lao Tzu won't let you bite Lao Tzu!" ”
As he spoke, the stone smashed into the woman's head with great force, knocking her down violently and splitting her brain.
The female zombie immediately stopped moving, and Chen Ran let out a long breath.
The end of the world has come, nowhere is safe, you must be vigilant and beware of any danger.
Chen Ran calculated in his heart that the end of the world did not suddenly explode at a certain moment, but like boiling a frog in warm water, slowly penetrating, from the first rumor to now, half a year has passed.
Chen Ran, who has lived in the school for a long time, has no idea what the outside world has become, but relatively speaking, the school should be relatively safe.
Find a few classmates who came out together, and then go back to school together!
Chen Ran made up his mind, since he had already seen the people on the cruise ship, maybe the cruise ship was nearby.
Chen Ran carefully hid his figure, he tied the leaves around his body to form a camouflage color, and tried to avoid direct contact with strangers, because in the apocalypse, there is no good or evil in people.
After searching for about two hours, the sun had set, the sky was gradually darkening, and Chen Ran finally found the shadow of the cruise ship.
The cruise ship did not leave too far, Chen Ran hid in the dark, quietly observing the movements on the cruise ship, he was afraid that the group of destruction cultists had not left yet, if he rushed forward, he might become a ghost under the sword.
After waiting for another half an hour, it was already completely dark, and Chen Ran moved his stiff body, he was sure that there were no living people on the cruise ship.
Yes, there are no living people.
But those dead corpses have mutated into zombies at any time, and Chen Ran is worried that he will be attacked by zombies when he goes to confirm whether a few classmates are dead.
No matter what, you have to go up and take a look!
Chen Ran found a lifeboat on the shore, possibly left by the Destroyers, he found a relatively sharp branch as a weapon, and rowed the lifeboat close to the pleasure boat.
The moment Chen Ran's hands touched the cruise ship, his head suddenly exploded, as if there were countless thunderbolts exploding in his head.
"The ship soul is activated, do you want to bind the ship?"
Such a prompt sounded in Chen Ran's mind three times, and after three times, Chen Ran hummed painfully, and the ship soul in his brain was automatically bound to this cruise ship.
After a long time, Chen Ran collapsed weakly in the lifeboat, the information he had just received in his mind was too great to digest.
patting his head, Chen Ran got up, climbed onto the cruise ship, stood up straight, and looked at the night-filled Shuanglong Lake, unable to tell whether he was happy or sad.
I don't know why, after Chen Ran drowned, there was an extra thing called "Boat Soul" in his mind.
A person who has the soul of a ship can bind a ship, and as the owner of the ship, he can control the ship as if it were his own organ.
And the ship soul can upgrade the ship when the materials and other things are complete, even if it is a small fishing boat, it can also become an aircraft carrier with the help of the ship soul.
Chen Ran was annoyed now, if it weren't for his headache, he would definitely have to find another better cruise ship to bind the soul of the ship, otherwise the starting point would be too low.
The moment he bound the cruise ship, Chen Ran had information about the ship in his mind.
Vessel type: small passenger boat.
Volume: 9.8*2.7*3.1
Number of passengers: thirty
Transmission type: electric
Sailing speed: 16-20 knots
The information about the cruise ship is clearly in Chen Ran's mind, and Chen Ran can perceive any corner of the cruise ship, whether it is the bow or stern, whether it is the engine or the toilet.
This feeling is so amazing that the cruise ship has become a part of Chen Ran's body.
Through the ship soul, Chen Ran quickly checked the dead people on the cruise ship before, and there were no classmates of his own, and the cruise ship automatically cleaned up the garbage on the ship while becoming bound to the ship soul, Chen Ran didn't have to worry about the dead bodies on the ship suddenly mutating into zombies to attack him.
"Please name the new ship!" The ship spirit reminded Chen Ran.
