Chapter Twenty-Eight: It's Not a Broken Love
Boom Boom β
A dull thunder came from the clouds, and in an instant, bean-sized raindrops slanted down and fell heavily on the fish.
The huge waves violently beat against the hull of the Snapper under the impetus of the strong wind, and in the fierce wind and waves, the tough Snapper was like a leaf, struggling to support.
"Boss, I can't hold it here! Get ready to dive! The crew in the rear clutched the cable in their hands, and the waves that surged up from the stern of the ship hit him and the people around him again and again.
Seeing that the wind and waves were getting more and more violent, Tiger turned his head and asked Aaron on the side to detect the deep-water environment, for the Snapper, the sea is now much safer than the sea, rather than risk supporting here, it is better to dive to avoid this storm first.
Although "Dan" said that every dive, there is a kind of damage to the hull of the Snapper, but continuing to sail reluctantly now may hurt the ship even more.
Ah Long answered, and when he turned to check, the wind around him suddenly became a lot smaller, and when everyone was surprised, the wind and waves around him miraculously stopped, and even in the distant sky, you could see that the morning sun was rising, obviously leaving the area where the storm was most intense.
Talisgaard climbed the mast and looked in the direction of the previous storm.
"Boss! There's a ship over there...... It seems to have been killed in a storm! The mast is broken! Thales shouted.
Tiger was far away, and he could see some outlines, because it was not yet bright and he couldn't see clearly.
"There is no flag, I don't know what kind of ship it is, anyway, it is definitely not a warship." Thales shouted.
Aaron had already shown a helpless look at this time, and he knew that Boss Tiger would definitely ......
"Aaron, you take a few brothers, go and see what's going on, if there are not many survivors, you can bring them back, and if there are many people, send some repair materials and supplies...... Xiaofei, you go too. β
Why does Ziggy have to go?
It mainly plays the role of "although my companions are ugly, but their hearts are good" - although on the great waterway, everyone has some knowledge, and races such as the fish-man race are not so rare, but when you see a "vicious" fish-man, if you are just an ordinary merchant ship crew, you will still be afraid.
In case of poor communication, you can communicate with Ziggy who is kinder - of course, in front of outsiders, unless you have made up your mind to hide your identity, Ziggy will retain some fish-man characteristics, and easily keep outsiders from knowing that there are "humans" on board.
"Huh? I'm not going, am I? I have some stomach pain......" Hachi reluctantly clutched his stomach and muttered quietly.
"Where did you come from so much? Come on! Aaron grabbed Hachi and threw him into the sea, and then jumped down.
In the end, Aaron, Hachi, Kroobie, Jiu, and Zigg, the five of them swam towards the shipwrecked ship together.
It's still closer to the storm, and the sky is still a little gloomy, but fortunately, the waves are much smaller.
Ah Long climbed onto the hull of the boat directly with his bare hands, and did not pay attention to his fingers, picking out holes in the outer armor of the ship.
Ziggy was much more qualified, and after shouting a few times and seeing no one, he climbed up step by step along the hole that Aaron had picked out.
Arriving on deck, Zieg found that there was no one around......
Could it be because of the storm just now? But the storm won't shake everyone into the sea, will it?
The keen observation brought by the "reasoning student" made Ziggy already judge after two glances that the ship is usually well maintained, and now although the ruins and masts on the deck have been broken, it is completely caused by the storm just now, and in some subtleties, it can be seen that the daily maintenance of this ship is in place.
"Huh? What about Hachi? Aaron looked left and right, and found that there were only four people in him.
Leaning on the boat to take a look, he found that Hachi was still soaking in the sea, only half of his head was exposed, and when he saw Ah Long looking at him, Hachi raised his head and shouted: "Brother Long, you are busy, I will answer you in the sea!" β
A dragon's head jumped out of the tic-tac-toe: "Less nonsense!" Get out of here! The boatload may be dead, and they will come up to carry supplies. β
At the urging of Ah Long, Hachi reluctantly climbed up, and then shrank to the side without saying a word.
"Hey, what are you looking at?" Aaron looked at Ziggy, who was looking around.
"It's a little strange that the cables and these tools are neatly hung in the cabinet...... How is it that the ship is like when it hits a storm, and there is no one left? β
Ziggy's ability to "reason for students" made him feel discordant when he first got on the ship, and now he is completely confirmed.
"Could it be the empty ship in the harbor that has been swept up by the waves? Then the ship is a little lucky! Aaron touched his chin.
The storm just now was not a joke, but it was rushed out all the way out with luck and an empty boat?
Hearing the word empty ship, Hachi was startled, and his teeth chattered: "This, this can't be a ghost ship, right?" I...... I've heard from the people on Legut Island about the legend of the ghostly ship! β
Ziggy: ......
This thing has been ghostly lately, is it because of this ghost ship's ghost story?
"Ghost ship?" Croopie and Jiu looked at each other, then laughed.
"Hahaha, the legend of the ghost ship? Should there still be a legend of a mermaid? The kind that will sing in the sea, fascinate young sailors, and then eat them! β
"You actually believe this kind of ghost story that deceives children!"
In the eyes of ordinary people who have little knowledge, the fish-people are already in the "story", some stories are beautiful, and some stories are infiltrating.
Hachi, who is a fishman, actually listens to and fears this kind of story, which makes Jiu and Croobie feel very funny.
"Merfolk don't sing very well, and the best one we sing here is the mermaid."
"But it shouldn't be very attractive to young men......"
The two sang and laughed loudly, and Xiaoba couldn't help but get excited, and immediately said angrily: "Who is afraid? I'm just mentioning it in passing! Even if it's really a ghost ship, I'll ...... the eighth master."
Before Hachi could finish speaking, a hand suddenly slapped him on the shoulder, and Hachi screamed in fright, only to realize that the person who patted him was Zig.
"Don't scare me, really." Hachi complained dissatisfiedly.
Ziggy asked in a serious tone, "Hachi, what kind of ship is the legend you heard?" β
Xiaoba was stunned when he heard this, and several other people also looked at it, Ah Long frowned and walked over: "What are you asking about this?" Humans just love weird stories...... Can't you suppress your human blood? β
Zieg shook his head and gestured with his thumb in the direction behind him, "No, I just noticed something strange." β
Several people looked in the direction Ziggy was facingβthere was a broken mast lying here, and Ziggy had just moved the mast away, revealing the entrance from the main deck to the cabin below, which was now locked!
A huge iron gate, locked from the outside, was dark and rumbling inside, and it was impossible to see anything.
This iron gate will appear here, which is very inconsistent in itself, and the overall style does not match the ship, and it is ...... Even if you really need an iron gate here for security, you should lock it from the inside, right?
Otherwise, it feels like something is going to be locked inside......
And there is no one on board, who is this locked?
Of course, it is not impossible to say that there were people on the boat who fell into the sea after locking the door, but it is a bit far-fetched!
