Chapter 1 of the Seven Volumes: The Shadow of Blood

Remember [Qianqian ♂÷ Xiao→ said in one second, and read it for free without pop-ups!

It's actually a ship!

A terrified ship!

Looking at the ship, it is already a modern cruise ship powered by a large diesel engine.

What is puzzling is that there is no light on this cruise ship. As if there was no one, all the windows were pitch black and there were no lights on the deck.

Even if it's night, it doesn't need to be so dark, right?

At least there should be someone on the deck for sightseeing, or in the wheelhouse.

But neither!

Could it be that the cruise ship's power system is broken and is now being repaired at the shore.

But why is there no sound at all?

I became more and more confused, and walked to the beach.

The cruise ship is huge, with five floors, each of which is unlit. It's like it's a long-abandoned cruise ship.

But the fresh paint and the curtains on the windows told me that it was a ship that was under constant maintenance.

The cruise ship crashed into the stones with a rumbling sound.

The appearance of drifting with the waves makes people suspect that this is a ship that is not manned.

Could it be that this is a ghost ship?

This is what Captain Nick said about ghost ships in the Atlantic?

I began to furry in my heart for no reason, and in such a place where no one could be found to speak at all, such a strange ship suddenly appeared, and I couldn't be afraid in my heart.

Even if I had a battleship equipped with weapons, what could I do, there was no one on the ship.

Taking a deep breath, I began to approach the cruise ship.

Nothing could be heard except the creaking of steel plates. The sound of the wheels running, the sound of people talking......

This is a ghost ship with no people......

Getting closer again, I tried to see if I could hear the sound of human breathing, but there was still nothing......

At the same time, a foul smell wafted over, and I was immediately frozen, the familiar smell: the smell of corpses!

It's not that there is no one on this boat, but that all of them are dead!

The thought of being a dead man made the fear in my heart disappear.

I ran straight underneath the cruise ship, jumped hard, rolled over, grabbed the guardrail above, and got onto the deck for people to rest and entertain.

The thick smell of corpses suddenly came from inside, and I almost vomited.

I had to tear off one of my sleeves and soak it in water to cover my mouth, so that the smell would be much better.

Although the dead are not afraid, it is really difficult to stay in the place where there are dead people.

The light of the flashlight swept across the deck, and under the parasols, there were several corpses.

They all lay on the ground and grabbed their necks with their hands.

Is this the rhythm of strangling yourself?

How can it be?

Even if you want to commit suicide, you can't choose such a way to commit suicide? The probability of success is too low!

On the table, there are also cold drinks.

I don't think these people are choking to death after eating, right? So here I desperately choke my neck, trying to spit out what I eat.

However, they failed and died on the eaten.

However, if it is choked to death, it is easy for one person or two people to say, but if such five or six people are choked to death together, it is impossible to say.

Could it be that cold drinks are poisonous, and these people are poisoned? I walked over and looked at the way they were pinching their necks in pain, and it didn't look like it.

Although they already have the smell of corpses on their bodies, they have no corpse spots on their faces, which can be regarded as "fresh"! Judging by the face alone, there was no sign of poisoning that I recognized, it really looked like choking!

I shook my head, there was so little information here, it looked like I had to go in and have a look.

Bang!

I had just taken a step when suddenly there was a muffled sound behind me!

Turning my head suddenly, the scene in front of me immediately made my hair stand on end!

I saw a person lying on his stomach just now, but at this time, he turned over and lay down on his back!

This...... Corpse fraud?

I was suddenly a spirit, holding the Miao knife tightly, thinking that as long as he dared to come, I would immediately cut it with a knife, and I didn't care if you were a human or a ghost. But I waited for a long time, but he didn't move.

Could it be that what I just saw was just an illusion?

Impossible?

When I first came up, I could see clearly that it was lying on my stomach.

I cautiously walked over and pulled out the dead man with the back of the Miao knife, but there was no movement.

It should be dead!

I think maybe it wasn't a hallucination, just a coincidence.

The appearance of this dead man lying on his stomach just now was in a quasi-balanced state, and just now, as his body gradually decayed, and the bumps of the cruise ship, he turned over.

I comforted myself and walked towards the glass door opposite. The curtain was opened, and the smell of corpses came to my face again. At the same time, there was the smell of rotting food, the smell of drinks, and the smell of perfume used by women.

It's a restaurant!

There are still food on many tables, and in front of these foods, there are all people sitting!

And these people are all pinching their necks, as if they are spitting out something.

This strange scene only makes my heart hairy.

Some were still lying on the table, others were already lying on the floor.

The strange thing is that although these people are dead, none of them have any obvious scars on their bodies, and there is no trace of blood on the ground.

How the hell did these people die? Could it be a collective poisoning?

Someone poisoned what they ate?

I went to pick up the food, and the staff were all dead on the counter, looking horrified, and they were all pinching their necks.

I finally know that it's unusual!

I'm afraid that something terrible has happened here.

Entering from the restaurant, there is a walkway, and above the aisle, there are still such dead people.

Some lie on the ground, while others lean against the side wall. It's more about climbing on the windows.

Next to the hallway, there were many rooms, I pushed the door and walked in, and there were still dead people inside, and the way of death was the same!

Some are husband and wife, who were originally still alive, but died inexplicably.

It seemed that in just an instant, these people had been attacked by some kind of terrible attack and died here.

The original peace and tranquility were shattered, and I even saw scenes of people rolling on the ground and screaming.

What's going on here?

Along the way, there were old people and children, and even more, young men and women in their twenties and thirties.

All of these people died, and none of them escaped, and the bad luck came so quickly that in a short period of time, the entire ship was dead.

I also saw many traces of struggle, and these people must have been tortured before they died.

But why are there no traces on their bodies?

I headed down to the engine room to see if I could get the generator right.

After searching for half an hour, I finally found the nacelle of the generator below. And then the creepy thing is that it is not the generator that is broken, but the diesel engine is directly out of oil!

Grandma a bear!

The oil in the tanks of such large diesel engines was burned out, so how long did those people die?

I don't know!

I could only pour the diesel fuel from the oil drum next to it and start the big cruise ship.

Buzzing!

The belt drives the generator, and the lights around it soon come on.

Yes......

As soon as the lights came on, I don't know from somewhere, there was a scream of great pain and horror.

I didn't expect there to be a living person on it, so I was immediately startled, threw away the oil drum, picked up the Miao knife, and hurriedly ran to it.

The sound wave was reflected a lot, and although I couldn't hear the exact direction from which the sound was coming from, I could still hear the general direction. On the fourth floor or on the fifth floor.

"Buzz!" As soon as I came out of the engine room, a huge bee flew towards me!

This guy is huge, the length of my middle finger and the thickness of my thumb!

Grandma a bear!

With a scolding voice, Miao Dao swung out and directly cut it in two.

I don't know this kind of bee, it's so big, it can't be an African killer bee, right?

I can't do it anymore, it's just a big bee.

rushed up to the fourth floor, but there was nothing but dead people.

I held my breath and listened carefully to the sounds in every corner, but there was still nothing.

I heard that voice just now, it came from the fourth floor!

"Is anyone there?" I asked aloud,

In the empty hallway, only my echo responds to me!

Could it be that I'm hallucinating?

"Is there anyone else?" I shouted again, and this time, I heard the sound of the waves more.

Strange!

I'm not sure if it's the fourth floor, but when I shout so loudly, the other party can always hear it, right?

Could it be that the other party will still avoid me?

Joke! Who would hide from a living person on such a dead man's ship?

"Is there anyone else?" I shouted again, and the empty echo made my own heart hairy.

I'm not afraid of anything, just this eerie silence! I've been through it countless times, but I'm still scared.

"Bang!" At this moment, there was a slight sound of the quilt breaking on the fifth floor.

My heart was shocked, and I ran up.

Again, there was no sound.

Is it really human? If it's human, why are you avoiding me?

Could it be some kind of weird thing, taking advantage of the fact that there is no one on it, getting in and causing damage? Or is it stealing something to eat?

As soon as I thought of this, a sense of crisis rose from my heart.

The generator has just started, the voltage is not particularly stable, and all the lights are flickering on and off, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

Holding the Miao knife tightly and taking careful steps, I walked deeper into the depths.

Although I still couldn't hear the exact direction of the sound, I was sure that it was coming from around Room 15.

Left, left, right, right, and only three rooms.

I approached again, in front of Room 14. A very subtle breathing sound came, and the other party was obviously trying his best to suppress it.

Are you really avoiding me?

I was stunned, maybe this person had experienced something that made her desperate, so she didn't think I would save her, so she avoided me.

After a few steps from side to side, I had already determined the direction in which the sound of breathing was coming from, and it was in room 15!

When I walked to the door of room 15, the door was locked.

I knocked on the door and said, "Don't be afraid! I won't hurt you! ”

The contents didn't answer, but I heard her muffled moans. The other person is experiencing some kind of pain!

Thinking about the horrible corpses I had seen earlier, I couldn't hold back any longer, kicked the door open, and rushed in.

Bang!

The sound of the door hitting the wall seriously interfered with my hearing.

I shook my head and looked in the direction where the breathing was coming from!

Under the bed!

There were also two dead men lying on the bed, exactly like the ones outside. And under the bed, there was blood flowing out.

"I won't hurt you!" I tried to keep my voice as calm as I could, and said softly, "Come out!" I'll find a way to heal you. ”

Still nothing happened under the bed.

I was suspicious again, could it be that the squatting under the bed was not a person, but an animal that escaped from a serious injury? So "it" doesn't understand me?

When I think of the injury, I think of the blood that comes out from under the bed.

I subconsciously looked at the floor, "she" was going to come in through the door, there would always be blood stains, or footprints, right?

As soon as I lowered my head, a shallow bloody footprint appeared at my feet!

It's human footprints! Shoes-on!

"Come out!" Again, I said, "This place is not clean, and the wounds are easily infected." ”

Still no response!

Could it be that she had passed out, or that she was deaf?

I walked over, lifted the sheets, and was about to look down when a blood-red figure flashed in front of me with a "whoosh" and disappeared in the doorway.

Oh yes!

I scolded secretly, I was injured and still able to run, this is still not human?

Looking under the bed, there was nothing but a pool of blood!

Picking up the Miao knife, I rushed out.

On the ground, there are her footprints!

Blood all the way!

"Stop!" Watching her disappear at the top of the stairs, I shouted, "If you run like this, you'll die!" ”

She didn't react and went straight down the stairs.

There were blood stains on her body all the way, and it looked so shocking.

"You wait!" Looking at this figure from afar, an inexplicable sense of familiarity arose.

The back just now looks like a person!

Hongyi!

At the foot of Altun Mountain, in Baimian Village, she was covered in wounds, and her white clothes were stained red with blood......

"Hey! You wait! "I ran as hard as I could, and chased all the way down.

And her speed is not much slower than mine. If it weren't for the blood she left along the way, I would have really lost her!

I ran to the deck, and there was no one around, and there was no blood on the ground!

I still lost her......

"Hey! Where are you? I shouted into the empty sea, "I have no ill intentions, I just want to help you!" ”

Still no one answered......

She won't be so fast, will she?

I frowned, once again catching the subtle sounds around me.

I think she's going into hiding!

The sound of the wind, the waves, the chirping of insects, the sound of my own breathing and heartbeat...... Finally, I caught the faint sound of breathing behind me.

Behind me? It's really hiding!

Turning around, a figure was lying on the door of the restaurant!

There was a guardrail there, and she was lying on the railing, and I had just run under her, but I was running so fast that I didn't even notice anyone up there.

Her eyes, almost closed, were visibly in a semi-comatose state.

His cheeks and hair were soaked in blood.

Looking at that face, I immediately froze.

Heartache! The pain is overwhelming.

This person, I never thought it would be Hongyi!

It's really her! She...... Why did you hurt like this again?
