Chapter 30: The Boat
"That's what I said."
Zhou Zhili said helplessly: "But we have been sailing at sea for two days, let alone an island, and we haven't even seen a reef.... How could it be that you just happened to meet the island tonight? ”
"No matter what, you can't go wrong with an effort." Su Xing said, and reached out and nodded into his jacket pocket.
After a few seconds, the chipmunk poked his head out of his clothes: "What are you doing?" ”
The voice of the chipmunk instantly attracted the attention of the first mate and the captain.... But because of the special situation at this moment, the two didn't ask much.
Su Xing said to the flower branch mouse: "When you were in the guest room last night, didn't you see the picture of 'black shadow killing'?" ”
"What's wrong?"
"Can you see anything else now?"
Since the prophecy of 'Shadow Monster Killing' was confirmed, Su Xing had a guess: Will this chipmunk have the ability to predict the future?
And the way it uses this ability is to 'see' something, to have pictures about the future....
Su Xing's jacket pocket.
The chipmunk was silent for a long time, and his tone was embarrassed: "Actually, I don't know how I saw those pictures last night.... I'm just a rat, you're demanding too much of me! ”
The chipmouse's answer was expected by Su Xing.
This product is extremely positive every time he eats, but once he starts to do something, he becomes pushy.
Especially for the more difficult tasks, the chipmunk tends to make a big deal on the spot.
However, Su Xing did not give up.... He began to remember some of the things he had done in the chipmunk room last night.
That night, the chipmunk seemed to be chasing the episode of "Dragon Babu" when he saw some pictures about the future.
Thinking of this, Su Xing showed a strange expression on his face:
So, letting the chipmunk watch the plot of "Dragon Babu" is the key to triggering the prophecy ability?
But that's too, isn't it?
With the mentality of giving it a try, Su Xing took out the tablet from his backpack and slammed it directly in front of the chipmouse.
I don't know why.
Before Su Xing could turn on the phone, he saw the chipmunk staring at the screen in front of him and said, "I seem to have 'seen' the picture!" ”
So fast?
Su Xing was stunned when he heard this.
Therefore, the chipmouse's prophetic ability is not triggered by any TV series, but through a tablet.
Or....
Is glass the medium of triggering power?
Su Xing hurriedly asked him, "What picture did you see?" ”
"An island," replied the chipmouse, "our boat has sailed to an island." ”
Hearing this answer, Su Xing immediately rushed out of the cab and quickly climbed to the observation platform of the 'Giant Building'.
With the good view from the observation platform, Su Xing asked the chipmouse, "Do you know where that island is in the sea?" ”
The chipstick was silent for a long time, and said in a confused tone: "I can't describe it." ”
Upon hearing this, Su Xing was stunned, and soon understood what the chipmunk meant: the sea was pitch black, and even if the chipmin really saw the location of the island, he couldn't accurately tell its location.
Because there is no reference at all at sea!
Or rather, the chipmunk failed to find a reference....
on the observation stand.
Su Xing looked up at the sky and reminded the flower branch mouse: "Look at the moon in the sky.... Where is the island on the moon? ”
"Uh.... Left? "The chipmunk seems a little unsure.
Su Xing, who had no choice, could only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor now, and he shouted at the first mate guarding below: "Left full rudder, full speed ahead!" ”
When the first mate heard this, he immediately transmitted the information to the cab: "Full left rudder, full speed ahead!" ”
After nearly a minute or so, the chipmunk said, "Right, to the right!" The island is running to the right again! ”
This....
Su Xing frowned, and finally chose to obey the command of the chipmouse: "Full rudder to the right!" ”
The voice of the first mate came from below: "Full rudder to the right!" ”
Repeatedly, under the command of the chipmouse, the captain in the wheelhouse kept turning the direction of the 'Giant Building'.
This gave Su Xing the feeling that they were looking for an exit in the formation....
And at the same time.
In the cruise ship's dining room, several dark shadow monsters roamed, they came to the deck, and slowly walked in the direction of the wheelhouse.
Looking at the shadow monsters who were getting closer and closer to the cab, the first mate was anxious: "Su Xing, there are shadow monsters coming towards us!" ”
It's so fast.
Su Xing frowned, and said in a firm tone: "Regardless of them, Zuo Manrudder, keep going!" ”
The first mate hesitated for a moment, then repeated the order: "Left full rudder, keep going!" ”
And so it was a long time.... As time passed, the shadow monsters on the deck got closer and closer to the wheelhouse.
Finally, a white curtain of light appeared above the sea.
This white light curtain is incomparably huge, and in the dark night, the white light it emits is extremely dazzling, illuminating the entire 'Giant Building' through the air.
Seeing the white light mask, Su Xing's eyes showed a look of shock: "This white light.... Is it an export? ”
The chipmunk replied truthfully, "I'm not sure." ”
It doesn't matter so much.
Seeing that the black shadow monsters were getting closer and closer to the cab, Su Xing decisively jumped off the observation platform.
He rushed into the cab and said to the crowd at great speed: "Go and tell the others to pack up their things and get ready to disembark!" ”
Su Xing's idea was very simple: whether the white mask was an exit from the black sea or not, the people on the ship had to prepare in advance.
After all, for every second of delay, the Shadow Monsters might add one.
The ship will become more and more dangerous.
Inside the cab.
Hearing what Su Xing said, the captain immediately increased the speed of the ship, and yelled at the first mate outside the door: "Hurry up, you go and organize the manpower, and I will continue to drive the boat." ”
"Okay."
Glancing at the shadow monsters on the deck, who were getting closer and closer to the wheelhouse, the first mate said cautiously: "Brother Zhou, pay attention to yourself!" ”
With that, he ran towards the restaurant without looking back.
While the two were talking, with the efforts of Captain Zhou Zhili, the 'Julou' had sailed straight into the white mask.
I don't know how long it took....
After the dazzling white light gradually dissipated, Su Xing found that the 'Giant Building' had docked near an island.
Looking around from the boat, you can still see the inky black water.
Apparently.
The 'Giant Building' still hasn't sailed out of the Black Sea.
For this small island that suddenly appeared, Captain Zhou Zhili seemed a little familiar: "Isn't this a lonely island sanatorium?" How did this island end up on the Black Sea? ”
"Leave that alone." Su Xing urged Zhou Zhili: "There are more and more shadow monsters on the ship, we have to get off the ship immediately!" ”
Looking at the crew and passengers on the deck, who had packed the supplies one after another, the captain Zhou Zhili suddenly lowered his tone: "You guys go, I'm not going to leave." ”
???
Su Xing was puzzled: "If you don't go, wait for death on this ship?" ”
Zhou Zhili said with a smile: "There are so many shadow monsters on this ship, after you go to the island, someone has to drive the boat away, right?" Why don't you wait for the shadow monsters to chase you to the island? ”
Su Xing was stunned when he heard this, and said speechlessly: "You turn the boat around, drive the horsepower to the maximum, and let it run on its own...."
While the two were talking, the passengers and crew members of the ship had fled to the island one after another.
Only the first mate and second officer on the ship, who had a good relationship with Zhou Zhili, ventured to the vicinity of the wheelhouse.
The first mate seemed to see Zhou Zhili's thoughts, and he persuaded: "Brother Zhou, I know you are reluctant to ship this ship.... But no matter how valuable this ship is, it doesn't matter if it lives, right? ”
"You don't understand."
Zhou Zhili's tone gradually became firm: "I have been on this ship all my life, and I can't accept this ship if it is lost." ”
"Let's go."
Seeing that the shadow monsters had moved to the edge of the deck, and seemed to have a tendency to rush to the island at any time, Zhou Zhili urged: "I'm going to sail!" If you don't leave, you'll die with me!" ”
Everyone has their own way of living.
Since the captain said so, Su Xing no longer persuaded him, but just nodded to him: "Then take care!" ”
The first mate and the captain have the best relationship.
At this moment, he is also the most reluctant person: "Brother, I also respect your choice, take care!" ”
After saying their final goodbyes, Su Xing, Squinting Eyes and Huang Tianqi left the 'Julou' cruise ship with the bald uncle.
The first mate, second officer and other crew members also left the 'Julou'.
So far, except for Captain Zhou Zhili, all the survivors on the 'Julou' have escaped.
On the sea.
The whistle of the 'Giant Building' echoed in everyone's ears....
At the same time as the whistle sounded, the 'Giant Building' heard a thoughtful roar: "The Giant Building!" Set sail! ”
…
'Julou', inside the cab.
While beating the rudder, Zhou Zhili recalled the experience of his life:
Zhou Zhili grew up on a fishing boat since he was a child.
For as long as he can remember, he often went out to sea with his fathers to fish.
This kind of life lasted until Zhou Zhili was 30 years old.... After several generations of accumulation by the Zhou family, Zhou Zhili finally purchased a big ship belonging to the Zhou family.
This ship is the 'Julou' cruise ship.
This big ship was obtained by the Zhou family after several generations of savings and debts.
Even if Zhou Zhili died, he must not abandon this ship at sea!
The giant building is here, and the people are there.
The giant building is dead, and people are dead.
in the cab.
Zhou Zhili turned his head, looked at the shadow monster that was getting closer and closer, and resolutely turned on the power of the gas engine on the ship to the maximum.
Over time, his body gradually became stained with a layer of black, which quickly spread to various parts of his body.
And it's not just thoughtful.
At the same time that he was infected by the Shadow Monster, the 'black' that had spread to the second floor of the cabin had gradually spread to the deck.
After completely covering the deck, 'Black' continued to expand to the restaurant on the third floor of the 'Giant Building' and the guest rooms on the fourth floor.
Until the end, the entire "Julou" cruise ship has been completely dyed black.
It roams the black sea like a ghost ship....
Everyone has their own boat in their hearts.
They can be a shop, a company, a car.
It can also be family, brothers, wives, and husbands.
It could even be an academic or even a certificate.
In short, this ship must be something more precious than one's own life.... When the ship is about to sink to the bottom, I believe everyone will make a thoughtful choice.
Now that the ship is gone, what does it mean to be alive and have a fart?
Maybe I will die in the sea, but this is the fate I have chosen.
