Chapter 18: Departure
When Su Lifeng returned to the shore, he was immediately stunned by what he saw in front of him. There were stumps and blood stained red everywhere, but there was a dead silence on both the deep surface of the sea and the deck of the cruise ship.
He saw a number of corpses from a distance on the railing of the cruise ship...... Could it be that because the wisdom species were absorbed by themselves, all the xenos died?
After this idea came up, Su Lifeng faintly felt that something was wrong.
Because if this idea is true, then what is the explanation for the disappearing gelatinous substances?
However, he had no clues, and there was no foresight of the disaster in front of him......
"I wish I was thinking too much."
Su Lifeng handed Jiang Yushi to Cheng Xiaomei, and after telling her to be careful, he carefully observed it by the water for a while. After making sure that the two octopus xenos were not lurking beneath the surface, he took a deep breath and jumped into the sea, where he quickly came to the side of the boat, grabbed the rope that the tourists had used to "greet" the xenos in the first place, and quickly climbed up.
After confirming that the ship was indeed full of corpses and that all the xenomorphs had disappeared, Su Lifeng resisted the feeling of nausea, walked through the corpses all over the ground, went to the restaurant to find some dry food and mineral water, and then took down a walkie-talkie from the corpse of a crew member. After a slight hesitation, Su Lifeng picked up another iron rod from the ground. After this nightmare, he felt that he would only feel a little more at ease if he had a weapon in his hand.
It was only at this time that Su Lifeng finally felt an uncontrollable sense of detachment.
In less than an hour, he left the seas of Earth and witnessed the deaths of too many people and even saw the impending end of the world...... He didn't even know where to start with the pain. Because he has "seen" too many disasters since he was a child, Su Lifeng has a calmness that ordinary people do not have, but this does not mean that he is not afraid. He was only a young man in his twenties, and although he only killed xenomorphs, it was still the first time for him to kill a "human".
But it was precisely because of fear that he wanted to do everything he could to survive......
"You're from the college student group, aren't you?" When Cheng Xiaomei was holding Jiang Yushi and looking at the cruise ship, a voice suddenly came from the forest behind her.
Cheng Xiaomei suddenly became nervous, and the joints of her five fingers were loosened at once.
But when she saw the two figures coming out of the woods, the fear in her eyes immediately diminished.
The tired man took a little girl by the hand, and waved his other hand again and again: "Don't be afraid, I haven't become a monster, this is my daughter." ”
Cheng Xiaomei hurriedly put her hand behind her, and then glanced at the little girl with some surprise.
She had also seen a few children on the cruise ship, but she didn't expect any children to survive the disaster. The little girl also looked like she had only suffered some minor injuries.
Seeing Cheng Xiaomei coming, the little girl immediately took a step back and hid behind the man.
“…… Hello. Cheng Xiaomei's nose was sour, this little sister must have been very frightened...... Although he himself is not much better.
What she didn't notice, however, was that the little girl had her head down, her eyes staring curiously at the arm she had behind her. Then she blinked again and looked at the tattered cruise ship......
"Alas, it's good to be alive, it's good to be alive. We've come all the way, and we've only seen you two alive. The man said in a heavy tone, "I'm going to leave with my daughter, why don't you just come with me?" ”
Cheng Xiaomei said: "It's not just the two of us, I also have a friend who has already gone to get a lifeboat." ”
The man was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but glance back at his daughter.
In fact, he originally wanted to hide on the island for a while, because the impression left on him by the two monsters in the sea was too terrifying. But the daughter insisted on coming and said that she could go home.
The girl's friend would think the same as his daughter......
Su Lifeng saw Nannan's father and daughter from a distance, he pushed the lifeboat to the shore, and immediately went ashore and walked to Cheng Xiaomei and asked, "May I ask ...... you are?"
It's not that he's too careful, it's that someone came to the shore so soon, which made him feel a little incredible.
In fact, judging by his judgment, and the silence on the island, more than 400 people on board the cruise ship must have died.
"Classmate Su, this is Brother Ye and his daughter Nannan." Cheng Xiaomei hurriedly introduced.
"Leaf ......"
"My name is Ye Long, young man, if you don't mind, just call me Brother Ye. It is also fate that everyone can meet here alive. The man took the initiative to say.
After he learned from Cheng Xiaomei that Su Lifeng had saved them, he originally thought he was a muscular young man, but he didn't expect to see that he was such a very young man. It's hard to imagine that he escaped with those classmates all the way.
No, Xiaomei didn't say anything about Su Lifeng's ability to predict the disaster in advance, she probably knew that this must be Su Lifeng's secret, since this was the case, she couldn't easily reveal it.
Su Lifeng nodded and glanced at Nannan again.
The strange thing was that he obviously felt that Nannan was peeking at him, but when he looked over, Nannan hid behind Ye Long again.
"My daughter and I were hiding in the woods, and when we heard a loud noise, we ran out, but we didn't expect to meet you. Now we can go back together. It's dark, and I don't know which direction to row or how long it will take to get out of here...... I've been a fisherman for so many years, and I've never seen anything like that. Ye Long said with a sad face. For some reason, he didn't want to tell the truth, at least not that he found his daughter after the loud noise......
And he could feel that after he said this, his daughter's hand that had been clutching the corner of his clothes seemed to relax slightly.
Loud noise...... I guess it's the sound of the space door opening......
Su Lifeng nodded, and then said with some surprise: "Brother Ye is a fisherman?" ”
"In the early years, I now work for a seafood company, but I haven't forgotten the basics of rowing and orienting." As he spoke, he also flashed his watch, "I have a compass on it." ”
"Then get on the boat, and I'll leave it to me how to get out of here." Su Lifeng said with satisfaction. Those xenos want to enter the earth through here, so the space door must still be open. As long as you keep following the direction of the cruise ship, you will naturally be able to go out......
