Chapter 193: Under the Black Tarpaulin
After listening to Xia Qing's question, Gao Chao smiled helplessly, how could he let Xia Qing do such a dangerous thing?
Although Gao Chao also has a selfish side, he has regarded Xia Qing as a friend, and the deep danger of a friend is the last thing Gao Chao wants to see.
So the fat man was used as an assistant to illuminate Gao Chao on it, Xia Qing as the commander, coordinating the overall situation next to the side of the ship, and Gao Chao was once again a charging warrior, holding chains, little by little, along the hull and towards the water.
At this moment, directly below Gao Chao, there were several coffins slowly passing by the hull with the current, and when he approached one of the coffins, he realized that these coffins were much larger than he had imagined, at least a third larger than those ordinary coffins buried.
However, although these coffins are not small, they are not wide, as Xia Qing said, this kind of coffins are a little slender, so when Gao Chao tried to put one foot on the coffin, the coffin shook for a while, and it shook so much that it was almost about to turn over.
Gao Chao was so frightened that he hurriedly grabbed the chains, and retracted his feet, and the fat man and Xia Qing watched above Gao Chao, and they both sweated for Gao Chao.
Then, much smarter, he waited until the coffin was more stable, and then put his feet on both sides of the coffin at the same time, and this time, the coffin finally did not tilt to one side.
Despite this, Gao Chao didn't even dare to take a breath, he waited for a while to stabilize before slowly loosening the chain in his hand.
Then he quickly grasped the two sides of the coffin with both hands, and just like that, he supported himself on all fours, in a very clumsy position. Propped up on top of the ship's coffin.
And in front of him. At this moment, it was the black tarpaulin on the coffin. Strangely, Gao Chao looked at this layer of tarpaulin carefully, but felt that it seemed to be very new, not to mention a trace of dust on it, not even a piece of rotten discoloration, and the black of the whole tarpaulin was very uniform, as if it had just been covered for a long time.
Gao Chao was suddenly a little nervous, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart. What kind of corpse is under this brand new tarpaulin?
Gao Chao thought about the general appearance of the corpse, maybe it had already rotted into a dry bone, or maybe it didn't even have any bones left, after all, it was likely to have been floating on the surface of the sea for thousands of years.
However, these ideas are still good, Gao Chao thought about it, and suddenly remembered the zombie he saw in Xia Qing's villa before, and he secretly wondered, under this tarpaulin. Isn't it a zombie too? If that's the case, I'm in the sea now. But there was no place to escape.
Thinking of this, Gao Chao was a little flustered, so he quickly took two deep breaths, and only then did he regain some courage, but he complained bitterly in his heart, and he couldn't help but regret it a little. Why is it up to you to do such a thing?
But he forgot that it was his own choice.
At this moment, the fat man and Xia Qing were staring at Gao Chao, he was stunned like this, and he had been in that inelegant posture for a while, and they didn't know what Gao Chao was waiting for, but neither of the two dared to shout at him, for fear of frightening him and causing some accidents.
In fact, Gao Chao also knew that this was embarrassing, so he reluctantly made up his mind, since he had survived until now, then he had to lift the black tarpaulin even if there was really a zombie inside, then he could only accept his fate, at least he gave his life for his friends.
So Gao Chao gritted his teeth, supported the edge of the boat with one hand, and then carefully grabbed one side of the black tarpaulin with the other hand, and then he silently counted three counts in his heart, and then slowly lifted the tarpaulin.
There was still a dim fog all around, and in addition to the headlamp on Gao Chao's head, the fat man was left on the boat, and at the moment Gao Chao was lighting Gao Chao with his headlamp.
However, the light was still a little darker, and at the same time that the tarpaulin was lifted, Gao Chao couldn't immediately see what was covered below due to the angle, although Gao Chao and Xia Qing both guessed that this must be a ship coffin, and of course it was a lying corpse, but that was just a guess, no one really knew what was in these coffins.
When Gao Chao carefully lifted the layer of tarpaulin halfway, he could really see the situation under the tarpaulin.
And at this moment, Gao Chao suddenly screamed, and the whole person immediately wanted to stand up, but he only used one hand and two feet to support the coffin, at this moment he struggled this time, but he lost his center at once, his body was shaking, the whole coffin almost shook over, and he almost fell into the water, fortunately, his balance ability is still quite good, he just stumbled and fell into the coffin under him.
But as soon as he lay down on the black tarpaulin, he saw that he suddenly got up again, as if he had suddenly bounced up, and then he retreated almost like crazy, until he reached the end of the coffin, and then quickly propped himself up on the edge of the boat with his limbs, and propped up his whole body.
But his face was full of fear at the moment, and a pair of eyes were almost round looking at the black tarpaulin, as if he wanted to run away immediately, never to touch the tarpaulin again.
And the fat man and Xia Qing, who were standing on the bronze boat at this moment, were also frightened by Gao Chao's sudden move, just because they all knew that Gao Chao was a man who had been a soldier, and he was an out-and-out very brave man, but now this brave man seemed to be suddenly frightened by something, and they looked at Gao Chao supporting the side of the coffin at the moment, and knew that Gao Chao must not have seen anything good just now.
At that moment just now, because of the problem of light and angle, the fat man and Xia Qing, who had been in charge of cooperating above, did not find the situation under the tarpaulin, and just now they were in a hurry, and covered the tarpaulin again, at this moment they can only judge from the superb behavior, I am afraid that the corpse contained in the coffin is a little strange.
The fat man also reacted at this time, he quickly leaned over and picked up the chain, and then shouted: "Old Gao! Fast! Catch! ”
Gao Chao then looked at the fat man, and the fat man then threw the chain out, but after all, the chain was also cast in bronze, and the weight was not light, and the fat man used his strength to eat, and he swung the chain slightly towards Gao Chao.
But fortunately, Gao Chao's hands and feet were agile, and when the chain approached Gao Chao, Gao Chao held on to the edge of the coffin, kicked his feet hard, and jumped up from the coffin, and pounced on the chain. (To be continued.) )
