Chapter 11: The Attack on the Bandages
After eating, Charles began to patrol the Rat, making sure everyone was safe.
I don't know what caused the sailors to disappear, and when the enemy is dark and I am clear, I can only use this stupid method for the time being.
The atmosphere on the ship was back to before it came, and everyone was trembling, trying to expose themselves to the eyes of others, for fear that they would disappear silently.
I don't know if Charles's method worked, or if the thing left, and the next few days the Mouse was very peaceful.
Four days later, Charles stood at the bow of the ship, looking out into the dark sea in the distance.
"In three days at most, the Mouse will be back on the navigation course, and it should be safe by then. ”
Estimating the time it would take to return to the island, Charles turned his head to look at Anna, who was sitting on the windlass. "Let's go, let's go to the vortex furnace room. ”
"Don't go, I'm going to walk around with you every day like a fool, what's there to do in such a broken place, I want to go by myself. Anna looked impatient.
"Don't let your guard down, it's dangerous for you to be alone. Charles went over and tugged at her arm, but she shook her hand away.
"Oh, I can't go, why are you so annoying man, and isn't that mummy just watching from above, what danger can there be. ”
Charles looked up, and through the clear glass, he could clearly see the bandage at the helm.
"Okay, you sit and rest. I'll be right back. Charles opened the hatch and headed to the turbine cabin on the lowest level.
As the power core of the entire steamship, the turbine room was very stuffy, and as soon as Charles entered, he saw James, a shirtless and fueled tuber, and Boatswain Deep, who was sticking out his tongue like a dog.
"Captain, I can't stand it, go up with me, it's too hot in this place. A grimacing Dip grumbled to Charles.
"For the safety of your companions, bear with me a little. ”
"Even some man-eating monsters won't come down, this place is so hot, who can stand it except for the big guys?"
Charles walked up to James and patted his hand on his musche shoulder. "After all the hard work, the insulation effect of the new ship will be much better. ”
James smiled innocently, "I'm used to it, except for hot spots, the work below is very easy." ”
"When you buy a new ship, you can't be busy alone, and then you will be the chief engineer, and you will have to manage the big engineer, the second engineer, and the third engineer. ”
As if he was frightened by Charles's words, James hurriedly took half a step back and swung his hands like a fan.
"No, no, no, I don't care about people, let someone else come, I'm responsible for adding fire, really, really. ”
The smiling Charles was just about to speak to comfort his crew, when suddenly a loud noise came from the pipe next to him, and with the mournful roar of the Mouse, everything around him instantly tilted to 75°
Charles, who staggered to the ground, immediately reacted, the hull suddenly tilted, there must be something wrong with the helmsman, he crawled to the side of the communication tube on all fours, and shouted loudly inside: "Bandage!!
From inside came the sound of flesh tearing and the snort of bandages.
"Damn!" Charles pulled out the revolver from his waist and staggered quickly towards the staircase.
"You two come with me!'s got an accident in the cockpit!!"
When Charles rushed to the deck in a hurry, he saw a panicked Anna with tears in her eyes. "That mummy...... That mummy!!"
The four of Charles rushed to the cockpit to take a look, and dark red blood splattered everywhere, making the cockpit a mess.
The bandage that was supposed to be at the helm was like a rag doll bitten by a dog, lying miserably on the ground, removing the wounds on his body, large and small, and his right leg had been cut off at all.
Charles rushed to the scarred bandage, didn't know where to put his hand for a while, and after a pause of two seconds, Charles tore the bandage off his bandage face with his hand and probed his finger in front of his nose.
Charles breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the breath of nothingness, and he quickly pulled out the black knife in his boot and held the bandage in his hand, hoping that he would use the healing power of the black knife to catch life.
"Anna, don't be stunned, stop the bleeding!"
Charles's shout woke up the six gods and no master of the ship's doctor, and her eyes were red, and she nodded again and again, and quickly ran towards the door. "I ...... I'm going to get hemostats!"
"Don't give up, buddy, you're going to be fine, don't give up. The eager Charles whispered in his bandage ear.
After a while, Anna ran back and shouted, "Charles, my medical kit is missing!"
Charles looked at Anna for a second and then quickly said, "Go to the captain's room, at the bottom of the cabinet, I have some medicine!
After a scramble, in the messy cockpit, there were six people standing in front of the unconscious bandages.
Everyone's anxious eyes were on Charles, trying to find a sense of security, this feeling made Charles feel pressured, but at this time, it was the time when he needed the captain, and he couldn't mess around.
"Anna, did you see what hit the bandage??"
"I didn't see it, but suddenly the boat tilted, and I fell to the ground. ”
"That thing is still on board, and it's definitely going to strike again. ”
"But Captain, we've searched it all, and there isn't any, is that thing going to be invisible?" asked a grim-faced Dipper.
The monsters of the earth sea are strange, and stealth is not a big deal.
"It's unlikely, and if it's going to be invisible, there's no need to wait so long. ”
Charles knew he had to do something to prevent his crew from being attacked again, and if it continued like this, the entire Rat would be turned into an iron coffin that would bury everyone completely.
But what can he do about this ignorance?
After thinking for a while, Charles pursed his lips and said: "Big Wheel, the turbine is big, as long as you can return to the Coral Islands as quickly as possible, it's okay if the Mouse is scrapped." ”
"Deep, you bring a piece of water and lock all the hatches. ”
"Frey, move all the food from the kitchen that can be eaten raw to the turbine room and the cockpit, and the others will stay in these two places. ”
Since I can't find it, I simply don't look for it, and just nest together until I return to Hong Kong.
"What about going to the bathroom?" asked Anna in a whisper.
Charles tapped his finger on the clear glass ahead, "The deck is facing outward." ”
As the crowd began to concentrate in two places, the atmosphere of the entire Rat became more and more oppressive.
In the cockpit, Deepp was at the helm, Anna tended to the bandages in the hammock, and Charles, who was sitting on a stool, continued to write with a diary.
Inside, there was no sound except for the rustle of the tip of a pen across the paper.
