Chapter 11: The Corpse Bearer
"It's not Pu Jing!"
Hu Kai wiped the cold sweat off his head and looked at his watch.
At 12 midnight, not a bad point!
It's weird...... Why is it such an evil one?
Hu Kai's brows furrowed, as if he sensed something. After sinking for a while, he hurriedly urged Tingting to get dressed and get up quickly.
Tingting was also overwhelmed by this sudden strange thing, and hurriedly lifted the quilt. Who knows, after lifting the quilt, she was surprised with "oh", and then pointed to the sheets and asked, Mr. Hu, why are you wet here? You can't wet the bed when you're so old, right?
Hu Kai's face turned red, and he hurriedly asked in a hurry, didn't you see me sweating profusely?
Tingting obviously didn't understand what Hu Kai's sweaty head had to do with the wet marks on the bed, but listening to the radio outside, she still couldn't help but ask weakly, Mr. Hu, is it ...... Are we already home?
Hu Kai naturally couldn't know the answer, he hurriedly told Tingting a few words, then got dressed and opened the door and came outside the house.
At this moment, many of the tourists who were woken up were standing at their respective doors, looking at each other in confusion.
The red emergency lights in the corridor flashed rapidly, as if they needed to be evacuated in an emergency, which made the people who were already in the grass and trees even more uneasy.
The radio was still repeating over and over again, and the woman's voice sounded very elegant, but to people's ears, it felt very strange.
No one knows what they are about to face.
Hu Kai walked along the corridor towards the deck, and when he passed the hall where the passage was connected to the deck, he saw that the advertising screen in the hall also appeared with the same text as the broadcast content.
"Whaling Harbor Station?"
Seeing the Chinese characters on the screen, Hu Kai became more and more puzzled, in his impression, he had never heard of such a strange place name?
I really don't know, what does this cruise ship want to do?
What does 36 hours mean?
Will the cruise ship stay here for 36 hours?
And what about after 36 hours?
With deep doubts, Hu Kai came to the cold and windy deck. Unexpectedly, there were already many people on the deck who also had question marks written on their heads.
People approached the fence and looked into the depths of the sea, trying to see something. But there was no moon tonight, and they couldn't see too far.
However, just as everyone was about to return in a huff, someone suddenly screamed "ahh
Hu Kai hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and tried to look forward. Only then did I find that from the darkness directly in front of the cruise ship, a large area of even darker ink appeared.
Suddenly, Hu Kai seemed to vaguely see something, but his mouth opened wide in fright, and then he trembled and stepped back.
At the same moment, someone also saw the situation in front of him clearly, and immediately screamed "Mom".
In the midst of everyone's exclamations, a huge and towering mountain cliff suddenly emerged from the deck. It really felt like the whole cruise ship was about to crash into it, and many people collapsed on the spot.
Woo......
As the whistle sounded, the cruise ship slowed down.
Although the iceberg is just a meter away from the deck, the entire cruise ship did not collide at all, which is really breathtaking.
Hu Kai was also so frightened that his face turned pale, he looked up at the huge cliff outside the deck, but he saw that the cliff was full of strange rocks, hanging thousands of miles, and he couldn't see the top at a glance.
Wow......
Depend on......
Suddenly, Hu Kai felt his heart beating faster, his blood boiling, and the incredulity in his heart had risen to the top.
In this way, the radio is right, since there is land, then there may really be a port here! I just don't know, is this a mainland or an island?
Whaling Harbor, Whaling Harbor......
Hu Kai read silently, I really don't know, what kind of place will this whaling port be?
A few minutes later.
"Quick, Tingting, get dressed, pack your gear, and get ready to disembark!"
Back in the room, Hu Kai hurriedly urged the little girl.
"Mr. Hu, are we really going to get off the boat?" Tingting asked hesitantly.
"Yes!" Hu Kai nodded and said, no matter what kind of place this whaling port is, we have to go down and try our luck. It's best if you can find help, and even if you can't find it, at least find some food to make sure you're alive. And if you stay on the ship, you can only sit in the city of sorrow.
"Well, that'...... After we go down, will we not return to the ship? ”
"Then it depends!" Hu Kai replied while packing up his things, if the port leads to the mainland, or if it is inhabited, there is no need for us to return to the ship; But if it's a desert island, then you have to think again! ”
As he spoke, the cruise ship had come to a complete halt.
A new announcement was also made from the loudspeaker in the hallway:
"Tourists, please note that the Neptune has arrived at the Whaling Harbor Station, everyone is welcome to visit! Please be sure to leave the cruise within 30 minutes! Our ship will dock at this station for 36 hours, at that time, please be sure to abide by the time, return on time, and our ship will also open the passage 30 minutes in advance......"
Hearing the broadcast, Hu Kai and Tingting couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"What do you mean? Why disembark in 30 minutes and return 36 hours later? What can you do if you don't get off the boat? What if you don't return? Tingting asked nervously biting her lip.
"Don't worry about it so much for now," Hu Kai also had no clue, "Let's get off the boat first!" Come...... It's a bit cold outside, so I need to get dressed......"
Under Hu Kai's command, the two began to pack their luggage and organize their equipment. In addition to packing up the only remaining water and dry food, they also brought some emergency supplies that they could use right now.
After all the things were installed, Tingting suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked Hu Kai: "So...... My mother...... What to do? ”
"Hmmm......"
In fact, Hu Kai had already thought about this question, and when he saw Tingting asking, he immediately said to her solemnly: "Tingting, your mother's corpse can't be thrown in the room like that anymore." We have to get her off the ship and find a place to bury her! Don't worry, when we are saved, it's not too late to look for it again! ”
"I ...... I understand! I understand! As soon as she mentioned this topic, Tingting's eyes couldn't help but burst into tears.
Since carrying the corpse was not a simple matter, Hu Kai and Tingting set off early.
It may be that people have had enough of the inhuman torment on the cruise ship, and by the time they walked out of the room, there were already many people carrying their luggage and preparing to disembark.
Tingting and her mother lived in a balcony room, just upstairs from Hu Kai's room, and it didn't take long for the two to come to the room where the corpse was parked.
When I opened the door, I was greeted by a rancid smell in the room.
Although the little girl was mentally prepared, when she saw her mother's corpse, she still couldn't help crying.
Hu Kai comforted him a few words, then wrapped the corpse tightly with the bed sheet prepared in advance, and then carried it on his back and lifted the corpse up.
Who knows, since it was the first time for Hu Kai to do the work of carrying corpses, he didn't expect that the corpse would be so heavy, and he couldn't hold on to it before he had gone far.
Although Tingting has been helping behind her, the little girl doesn't have much strength, so she can't play a role at all.
Hu Kai suddenly regretted it, knowing that he should have made a stretcher in advance.
However, at this point, he could only grit his teeth and insist, and finally carried the corpse on his back little by little to the deck.
As far as the eye can see, the first deck of the cruise ship is brightly lit and crowded, and tourists are waiting to disembark.
At the same time, Hu Kai and Tingting finally saw clearly what the whaling port mentioned in this radio was - what it looked like!
