Chapter 22: I'll Go Alone
Seeing this strange situation......
Xia Jian is actually not much better than Xie Cong!
Judging from the blood stains that were splashed all over the floor, there must have been a lot of blood, and the most sluggy water ended up in the water of the pool.
It stands to reason that the pool at this time should have become a pool of blood a long time ago.
But the water in the pool is clear and transparent.
And at the bottom of the pool, not even a single bone can be seen......
Human beings always have an instinctive fear of the unknown.
For things that he doesn't know, he will always talk about supernatural phenomena, and even the well-informed Xie Cong is not exempt from vulgarity.
In a certain sense, it is precisely because he is well-informed and knows some things that ordinary people do not know, so he is even more afraid!
……
However, after carefully observing the entire pool, Xia Jian found another strange phenomenon.
At the edge of the pool, there is a man-made hot spring with a diameter of two meters on each side.
Four or five months have passed since the Day of the Great Apocalypse, and it stands to reason that the water in these hot springs should have been cold a long time ago.
But the reality is that the water in these hot springs is not cold, but still bubbling outside.
"Won't it?"
Seeing this situation, Xia Jian and Xie Cong glanced at each other, and at the same time, in each other's eyes, they saw disbelief.
What's going on?
This situation shows that after half a year has passed since the Great Apocalypse, some of the equipment on this luxury cruise ship is still operating spontaneously.
How can I do this?
Xia Jian didn't know what to do.
Xie Cong didn't know what to do!
But they know that they rely on those storage batteries alone. It's definitely not going to last until now!
"Could it be solar?"
Xia Jian guessed......
But after waiting for ten minutes, he condescended and searched the surface of the entire oil tanker. Nor were any panels of solar cells found.
"Is it ......?"
"Could it be that there is still an engine unit running?"
"Wouldn't it? Could that thing still run automatically for half a year? ”
"Go and see it......"
With this question in mind, the two of them went straight to the door of a room located on the top of the ship.
Because of the kind of special glass, the two of them had no way to see what was going on in the room, and naturally they didn't know what the purpose of this room was.
"Open the door......"
Guarding outside the door, Xia Jian held the handle of the knife with both hands and did a good job of covering.
Xie Cong opened the door directly......
Next Second......
The moment the door opened, Xia Jian and Xie Cong had just glanced inside. Then the faces of the two changed wildly, and Xie Cong decisively closed the door again at a faster speed than when he opened the door just now......
Then the two made the same move. Swift retreat......
It seemed that if something came out of the room, the two would jump into the sea and escape without hesitation.
"......"
"The ...... of the Female Horse"
When it was confirmed that it was safe, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Don't forget to vent your broken thoughts.
It's no wonder that the two general-level powerhouses would react like this......
The moment the door opened. As far as the two of them could see, it was densely packed with dark chasers. Looking at the number, I'm afraid there are no less than four or five hundred......
And that's not all......
What's even more terrifying is that when the two of them looked inside, the dark chasers who were originally standing in the room like puppets also turned their heads and looked at them together.
Fortunately, I didn't chase it out......
The two of them glanced up at the sun in the sky.
Maybe it's because of the fear of the sun!
This seems to be the only explanation.
But this time it wasn't all for nothing......
At the moment when he retreated just now, Xie Cong quickly pressed a switch on the corner of the wall.
As they guessed......
Originally, the light was still relatively dim in the room. Immediately it became like daylight.
The power part of the ship, sure enough, is still running.
…………
This can be done once. Xia Jian and Xie Cong also thoroughly recognized a reality.
Three or four thousand dark chasers, but it's really a lot!
And they still get together......
Relying on dozens of people alone, it is really difficult to completely wipe out these dark chasers without losing the hull.
And the ship is too big, and there are too many rooms.
Therefore, their previous idea of wanting a room and a room to be cleared did not work at all.
"Can you lure them out?"
Xie Cong glanced at the room just now.
Xia Jian shook his head, "I guess not, they clearly found us just now, and they didn't chase us out......"
"And what about that night?"
"Isn't the venue too small?"
Xie Cong thought for a moment and nodded, "Hmm! It would be a good idea to change to a place where the field is larger, the field of view is wider, and there are no obstructions, and then draw them out, and then just fence it up and put a few heavy machine guns, hehe......"
That's a good idea......
However, Xie Cong also knew that this method was just a matter of thinking.
Where can there be such a place on the sea where there is no village in front and no store in the back?
And even if there is that kind of place, it's still useless if you can't go there!
But Xia Jian really listened to it and thought of a way!
Of course......
Before this, Xia Jian still has two things to confirm.
The first thing to do is to make sure that the engine block of the luxury cruise ship is not running – electricity alone does not prove that the engine block is running.
It is best to run naturally......
If it is not running, then it must also be determined whether it is good (about this, Xia Jian is not very careful, after all, the power on the ship is fine, and the engine unit should not be destroyed in the nuclear explosion. )!
This thing, for professionals. It's a good judgment, but for Xia Jian, a poor rookie, it's a big problem. And for this piece, Xie Cong doesn't know too much!
As for the second thing that needs to be determined......
Xia Jian wanted to confirm that if the engine unit of this ship was really good, then these people he brought with him could drive the ship back.
If no one would open it......
When the time comes, I really want to cry without tears.
"Let's go back first......"
Xia Jian decided to go back and ask the professionals......
……
Along the hull of the ship, the two of them quickly descended to the previous level.
However, when passing through the corridor, Xia Jian saw the top of the corridor. Lined up, there is a long lifeboat hanging.
Seeing this, think about your own crowded yacht.
Don't say a word......
Xia Jian swung the slashing knife in his hand again and again.
As the fixed steel cables are cut one by one. The lifeboats that were originally fixed to the ship fell into the sea one after another, like dumplings.
Wait until Xia Jian and Xie Cong landed steadily on the yacht......
Cui Kai and the monkey, who had long had enough of that smell. Early in the morning, those who were crowded around him. They all rushed to the lifeboats.
No way!
Those who join after have no human rights!
For Cui Kai and the monkey's arrogance and domineering, everyone can naturally only endure it.
"Hey! Boss, what's going on above? Do we have a chance to take it down? ”
Xia Jian had just stood up, and Cui Kai greeted him.
It seems that this kid is very concerned about this luxury cruise ship!
But now Xia Jian is not in the mood to deal with this cheeky guy, so he didn't dump him directly, "Monkey, hurry up and get Mu Zhongyun for me......"
"Okay......"
The monkey who received the order went to find Mu Zhongyun in a hurry.
………………
Ten minutes later......
Xia Jian received a piece of good news.
The four speedboats sent yesterday to the small dock in the inland river have returned.
Meantime. They also brought back eight transport ships......
This gave Xia Jian another choice.
Immediately contacted the black widow and carefully ordered it. Let Peng Wei and the barbarians who stayed behind bring some more people over.
Soon......
Under the watchful eyes of the survivors on the dock, the eight transport ships that had just returned set sail again.
And this time, eight transport ships were also full of cargo.
But no one knows what the cargo on these ships is......
Another ten minutes passed......
At this time, it was already more than an hour before dark.
Xia Jian and Xie Cong returned to the deck just now......
And this time, there was also Mu Zhongyun who came up with them.
Are you a professional......
After listening to Xie Cong and Xia Jian's descriptions, as soon as he got on the boat, Mu Zhongyun went straight to the corridor.
In a hidden corner around the corner, there is a very inconspicuous little white door.
Wait for the ...... to open
What appeared in front of Xia Jian and Xie Cong was a motor room.
In the anxious waiting of Xia Jian and Xie Cong......
Mu Zhongyun quickly pressed in the east of the motor room, bumping in the west, and in less than five minutes, he walked in front of Xia Jian with a strange face, "The ...... of the big boss"
"Don't talk nonsense, how's it going?"
"There really is an engine set in operation......"
"......"
Seeing that their guess had really become a reality, Xia Jian and Xie Cong did not have a trace of excitement on their faces.
On the contrary, there is an indescribable solemnity......
Truly......
The engine block is running, which is indeed a good thing, proving that this luxury cruise ship is still good!
It doesn't even need to go through any maintenance, and it can be used directly!
Of course, the premise is that the ship's dark chasers must be cleaned up.
But now the question is......
What is it that is manipulating this engine block?
Because as far as Mu Zhongyun knows, the engine unit of this luxury cruise ship can indeed run automatically for a period of time when no one is around.
But it wasn't for long.
In the case of filling up fuel, it will be ten days and half a month.
And there can't be anything of that.
But now that time is urgent, Xia Jian has no time to study this issue at all.
Now he wanted to be sure of one thing......
"Mu Zhongyun, can we drive this ship away?"
Mu Zhongyun was a little unsure of what Xia Jian meant, "Big boss, what do you mean?" ”
Xia Jian said in a solemn voice: "I mean, regardless of those who chase the shadows, just us, can we make this ship move tonight?" ”
"This ......"
Mu Zhongyun thought for a while, and after a long time, he suddenly raised his head and affirmed: "No problem......
…………
Later, after Mu Zhongyun's explanation, Xia Jian learned that it turned out that the degree of automation of this luxury cruise ship was actually quite high.
Although the rated crew reached a staggering thousand.
But in reality, most of these crew members control some work such as air conditioning and electricity.
After all, this is a luxury cruise ship.
The purpose of its existence is to make the life of tourists more comfortable.
And the real core......
That is, the power part of the ship, what is really needed is actually only about a dozen people.
Or even less!
You must know that like the previous super oil tanker, his rated crew is only about forty......
"What the hell are you going to do?"
Xie Cong looked at Xia Jian with a solemn face......
In fact, he had already vaguely guessed what Xia Jian wanted to do.
It's just that you need to take a lot of risk to get this done......
Really......
Xia Jian's answer was exactly what Xie Cong guessed.
Seeing Xia Jian's calm face, he said indifferently: "What else can I plan to do, naturally I will drive this ship away!" ”
Xie Cong hurriedly said: "Drive away? It's okay to say that there are not many dark chasers there in the control room, and it is not difficult for us to clean up, but what about the engine room? It's the bottom of the cabin......"
Xie Cong's caution is justified......
As he put it......
Since the control is located in the top part of the whole cruise ship, and for the view, the control is surrounded by glass, and the lighting is very good.
Yesterday, he went to see it......
In the entire control room, in total, there are only a few sporadic dark chasers.
With him and Xia Jian coming out, it was easy to solve.
But just by solving the dark chasers in the control room, it doesn't mean that the ship can be opened!
The most important part of the whole ship is the engine room at the bottom of the cabin.
You have to get in there to get the ship moving......
But with their current firepower, is it possible to force their way there?
You have to go through seven or eight floors of cabins......
The cabins there are no better than the above-deck parts.
Dark, damp, and sunless all year round, this environment is the favorite of dark chasers.
There is no need to go down to check at all, Xie Cong can also be sure that more than 80% of the dark chasers of the entire luxury cruise ship are definitely concentrated in that.
Even if it's daylight......
Nor does it in any way diminish the level of danger below.
If you really want to break in, it's no different from letting everyone die.
For this obviously wrong decision, Xie Cong naturally wants to stop it with all his might.
However, Xia Jian's next words gave him no reason to stop it......
"I know ......"
Xia Jian smiled confidently at Xie Cong, and said, "Don't worry, I have a way to go down, when the time comes, Mu Zhongyun just needs to tell me how to operate through the walkie-talkie......"
"You're going down?"
Xie Cong thought he had heard it wrong!
I didn't think that Xia Jian nodded affirmatively, and emphasized again: "That's right! I'll go down, and I'll be alone! ”
