Chapter 2: The Ghost Ship

After asking the question, Zuo Qingcang slightly loosened the palm of his right hand, and heard the man stiffly say, "The boat is full of our people, you can't run away." ”

Zuo Qingcang glanced at him coldly, his right hand squeezed his mouth firmly again, and then the two fingers of his left hand rolled violently at the other party's wound.

The man's whole body bowed up, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out, but Zuo Qingcang pinched his mouth with his right hand, pressed it to the ground, and roared one after another.

"I ask one last time, where is the antidote?"

The man reached into his belt with his right hand, took out a small vial from it, and placed it in front of Zuo Qingcang. Zuo Qingcang said lightly: "You eat it yourself, I'll eat it again when I see that it's okay." ”

Seeing that the other party had swallowed the antidote without hesitation, Zuo Qingcang nodded and slowly let go of his right and left hands. But just when the man breathed a sigh of relief, Zuo Qingcang's two fists suddenly slammed into his temples, and he couldn't struggle at all, and after three seconds, he completely stopped breathing.

Zuo Qingcang picked up the vial that the other party had filled with the antidote and ate all the antidote in one go.

From the violent attack to the consumption of the antidote, there are many possible errors and mistakes, but Zuo Qingcang can't think about it so much now, because his current situation is too dangerous, and when his lower body is paralyzed, once the other party is careful, he will definitely die.

After eating the antidote, Zuo Qingcang felt a cool feeling coming from under his waist, as if the antidote was working, but he did not wait quietly for the antidote to work, but began to carry the corpse.

In the process of transportation, he searched the man's body again and found a dagger from the other party's ankle. Then there was a sudden look of doubt in his eyes. He touched the leather armor on the other's body, the axe around his waist, the necklace around his neck, and the strange ornaments.

'No...... This man didn't seem to be a soldier on the ship. ’

A flash of realization flashed through Zuo Qingcang's mind: 'Could it be that it wasn't Prince Yu's people who attacked me?' He originally thought that Cao Sheng had sent someone over and wanted to kill Liu Zhicheng on the ship, but when the sea was vast, it would be normal for a person to die when he was sick or something.

But now when I touch the equipment on the other party's body, I feel that things don't seem to be so simple.

He remembered what the other party had just said: 'The boat is full of our people, and you can't run away.' ’

Zuo Qingcang frowned, and in the darkness, he moved the body to the boat where he was lying before, and then covered it with a blanket, looking as if he was still sleeping. As for himself, he slowly crawled behind the door and waited quietly with an axe and a dagger.

A few minutes later, two noisy voices came.

"What's the matter with Old Song? I haven't been able to come back for so long. ”

"Damn, it can't be some kind of baby, right? This floor is full of officers. ”

Two consecutive footsteps came from outside, and when the two of them checked the third room, they walked into Zuo Qingcang's room. There was no candlelight, only a dim light coming from outside the room, and the two of them were immediately drawn to the corpse on the ship.

A man waved his hand, slowly pulled out the axe from his belt behind his back, and walked lightly towards the corpse on the ship. The other man also drew his axe and followed in unison.

When he saw the corpse on the bed, his face showed surprise, but before he could carefully distinguish the corpse in front of him, he felt a sharp pain in his neck, and his face was stunned, and he had fallen towards the bed.

A dagger was stuck in his neck, blood gushing out of his arteries.

The other person immediately turned around, but saw that Zuo Qingcang, who threw the dagger, had already thrown the axe in his hand again, and the flying axe smashed directly into the face of the second person, and the other party fell down with a scream.

The whole set of actions was clean, and the two attackers were killed in an instant. Zuo Qingcang immediately stood up, his legs were still a little sore, but he was barely able to move. Apparently the antidote has worked again

He quickly dragged the body to the door of the room and identified it by the light of the fire in the hallway. When he saw the deceased's bald head, tattoos, and brown eyes, his eyes immediately showed a solemn color.

'Is it a pirate?' ’

But how dare pirates attack the fleet of Great Qi? ’

You must know that this time the fleet sent by Daqi to the new big 6 has more than 20 ships, and the total crew and soldiers are estimated to be more than 10,000 people, and it is difficult for him to imagine what kind of pirates would dare to eat such a fleet. There is also a good man who is drugged by the other party, this kind of medicine officially configured by Daqi, which made Zuo Qingcang smell the smell of conspiracy.

But apparently because of this, they carry the antidote with them, because they are afraid that they will be accidentally poisoned.

But he suddenly thought that when the first pirate attacked him just now, he had said the word 'Liu', which was a little strange, if it was just a pirate, how could he know Liu Zhicheng, or maybe he was not talking about Liu, but other homophones?

But the pirates obviously drugged all the soldiers on board, and they should have attacked by sneak when they came in, why did they talk to Liu Zhicheng?

There were too few clues, Zuo Qingcang couldn't think of a result, so he didn't continue to entangle, but picked up the dagger and axe on the corpse, wiped the blood stains with the other party's clothes, and then inserted the dagger into his trouser pocket, and the whole person took the axe and walked out of the room.

Zuo Qingcang walked a little specially, his whole body was half-squatting like a cat, his back was bowed, and he seemed to be able to eject at any time, his heels did not touch the ground, he was always an inch off the ground, and he only touched the ground on his toes, so that he could immediately dodge forward and backward left and right in the face of any sudden situation.

Walking out of the door, only the dim candlelight in the corridor shone down, and Zuo Qingcang quietly entered the two rooms next to him, where the officers had been killed, and their bodies were stripped naked and thrown on the floor. It seems that the pirates took what was on them.

He continued to walk down one floor at a time, and the situation that appeared in front of him was even more strange.

There were no shouts of killing, no pirates, nothing in the empty hallways, only the creaking of the door. The whole ship seemed to be transformed into a ghost ship.

Zuo Qingcang walked slowly towards the deck, everyone in the cabins he passed along the way was gone, and he could even see half-eaten meals, fallen clothes, and weapons, as if they were in a hurry, as if they had encountered some sudden disaster.

Suddenly, a wet liquid fell on Zuo Qingcang's neck, he quickly turned around, and held the axe across his eyes, but there was nothing in front of him, nothing.

The sound of ticking was ringing in my ears.

Zuo Qingcang touched the back of his neck with his left hand, and saw a bright red liquid appear on his fingers.

'Is it blood?' Zuo Qingcang looked up, and there were several holes in the ceiling, and bright red blood was constantly falling from the holes and falling on the floor, making a ticking sound.

Zuo Qingcang narrowed his eyes, and hurried to the stairs with an axe, for some reason, he had a feeling in his heart that was getting worse and worse.

Walking all the way to the end of the stairs, Zuo Qingcang carefully pushed open the deck door with his left hand, and looked out through the gap in it. But as soon as he pushed it a little away, he saw an eye open through the crack in the door, looking at him with resentment.

Zuo Qingcang frowned, but he didn't even shake his hand, and continued to push the door panel open, and saw that the corpse of a Great Qi soldier was lying on the deck, his head was facing the position of the door panel, and his face was full of viciousness.

Zuo Qingcang carefully observed the corpse, and saw that the other party's neck was completely broken, and other than that, there were no other injuries on the body.

Then he looked up and saw that the deck was all occupied by the corpses of the Great Qi soldiers, which were piled up together, and the blood spread all over the deck, causing the pungent smell of blood to continue to rush to Zuo Qingcang's nose.

Walking on the deck, Zuo Qingcang looked around the corpses, there were no pirate weapons and corpses, he opened several corpses in a row, and he could see a terrifying scar appeared on the soldier's neck, and the flesh and blood rolled out.

'Did everyone on board be drugged, and then the pirates came up and cut their necks?' ’

In this case, it is obvious that there is a mole on board. ’

But apart from the corpses of the Great Qi soldiers, he could no longer see a single pirate, as if the pirates had never appeared from beginning to end. Near his ship, the entire fleet floated silently on the sea, and there was no sound except for the sparkling light of fire.

'Are the pirates gone?' ’

But so many ships are a great fortune in themselves, so why don't they take a few? There were also supplies on board, and they also stayed. ’

Did they just come and kill people, and then they left? ’

But how could they withdraw so quickly? ’

Zuo Qingcang stood on the edge of the boat, and the pitch-black sea around him wanted to swallow a big mouth, and he couldn't see any other ships except for Daqi's fleet. It's as if the pirates who came to attack the fleet were steamed out of thin air.

'Unreasonable, the whole thing is so unreasonable. ’

The strange situation in front of him made Zuo Qingcang a little puzzled, as if the three pirates he had just seen were phantoms. He could only continue to examine the corpses on the deck, a total of two hundred and thirty-two people, and apart from him, none of the entire ship survived.

And now in this vast sea, it is impossible for Zuo Qingcang to control the ship alone, he is equivalent to being trapped in a cage on the sea, with these corpses as his companion.

'First you have to gather dry food and fresh water, find the charts, and find out if there are logbooks. ’

I can't drive this kind of large ancient ship alone, and if I leave, I can only drive a small boat. ’

The more he thought about it, the more unoptimistic the expression on Zuo Qingcang's face became. When a person sails on the vast sea, it is really fate. But there was nothing he could do.

Just as he began to check the ship's dry rations and fresh water, a loud beast roar suddenly came from the sea.
