Chapter 47: A Strange Message
Before opening the cabin door of the restaurant, Meng Lei had made several assumptions in his mind.
I have a certain amount of psychological preparation for the situation that may occur in the restaurant.
But what he didn't expect was anyway.
The scene that appeared in front of me was so terrifying and weird.
directly overturned all his assumptions, and tore all psychological defenses to pieces in an instant!
Twenty corpses, reduced to dry bones, floated silently through the restaurant in the light of the scarlet rods.
The elongated figures were projected in the darkness in all directions.
With the surging of water waves, it is constantly twisted and deformed, turning into hideous shadows, showing teeth and claws!
For a while, the whole restaurant seemed to be dancing with demons!
In addition, the already tilted hull caused most of the floating corpses to gather near the hatch above the water level.
Meng Lei looked at it, and there were crowds of people everywhere.
That terrible sight, the faint of heart will probably be scared out directly!
Rao is Meng Lei had the experience just now, and at this moment, he couldn't help but be frightened, and his heart was beating wildly, and he almost turned around and ran away.
After panting for a long time, the mood of violent fluctuations calmed down.
The point is that he didn't find any monsters like the ones in nightmares among these corpses.
Moreover, even Goldfinger, who knows almost everything, does not give any hint to these corpses.
Obviously, these corpses are just corpses.
It's terrifying, but it's not aggressive, it's not threatening.
In this way, Meng Lei was not particularly afraid.
"So many people, all of them died in the restaurant, what happened to them before they died?"
"What is the reason why they all gathered together, and until they died, they all kept the hatch tightly shut?"
"Judging by the locked door and the fact that everyone has a set of diving suits, it is clear that the moment they entered the restaurant, they were ready to die and made this place their own grave."
"But knowing that being trapped in the restaurant has only a dead end, why do they choose to do this?"
Meng Lei frowned, and thought of a lot for a while.
However, he still has too few clues now, and he doesn't have any clue at all.
These strange phenomena will only make his doubts deeper and deeper.
Nothing will help to solve the mystery of the whole affair.
At this time, the oxygen system of the diving suit suddenly began to alarm.
The piercing sound suddenly sounded, which was particularly terrifying in this boundless and dead environment, and immediately startled Meng Lei again.
Looking down at the oxygen level of the current wetsuit, there were only seven minutes left and the threshold for returning was about to be reached.
Meng Lei estimated in his heart that there was not much time left for him.
Whatever he found in the restaurant, he had to return within two minutes.
Although five minutes is a lot of time, no one dares to guarantee that there will be no emergencies on the road.
Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to set aside some safe time.
At that moment, Meng Lei no longer hesitated, and quickly swung the double. legs, and got headlong into the dining room surrounded by corpses.
As he continued to move forward, he brought a surge of water.
The corpses, who had been dead for an unknown number of years, began to slowly adjust their posture, as if they had regained consciousness, and gradually gathered towards him.
The strong cold and rancid smell vaguely seemed to turn into substance, penetrating the barrier of the sea and rushing towards him.
In the dark room, one after another the corpses of the crew scattered in all corners of the dining room floated in front of their eyes.
Even through the diving suit, Meng Lei even felt that he could smell the thick breath of death!
The sight was terrifying.
In this kind of underworld environment, if it is replaced by the presence of other players, I am afraid that more than 90% of the population will be directly dissuaded.
Even if there is a treasure in front of you, it is a very small part that dares to reach out and touch it.
But for Meng Lei, a staunch materialist warrior, death meant the end of life.
No matter how terrifying the appearance of matter is, it is just a substance that is not dominated by spirit.
It doesn't make him feel too much fear.
After all, they have all turned into white bones, what kind of demon can they be?
Reaching out and grabbing the lighting stick, Meng Lei looked around and carefully examined the environment in the restaurant.
In addition to the tables, chairs and benches that were firmly welded to the floor, there were also a large number of tableware scattered on the ground.
Due to the tilt of the hull, most of these cutlery piled up at the foot of the restaurant.
Among them, you can vaguely see some glass shards of wine bottles, and I don't know what kind of glass it is, but it has not been turned into powder by water pressure, and the corners of the head are peeking out from under the shallow sediment.
Judging by the location of the restaurant counter.
It is unlikely that the bottles fell out of the cabinet after being hit when the submarine sank.
It seems to be more like someone drank it and then discarded it, and finally piled up under the influence of gravity.
Other than that.
As Meng Lei's scope of exploration continued to expand, more corpses hooked by tables and chairs in diving suits appeared in front of him one after another.
Meng Lei roughly calculated, the number of corpses in the entire restaurant added up to no less than twenty people!
I'm afraid that nearly half of the crew of this submarine is here!
It's hard to imagine what terrible things had happened on this ship at some point.
It was unexpectedly possible to let more than 20 crew members go to Huangquan in an organized group!
Thinking about it, Meng Lei vaguely guessed.
At that time, the situation outside the restaurant may have been completely out of control, and only the restaurant was left on the entire submarine.
The surviving crew members were also forced to lock themselves in the dining room to jointly defend themselves against threats from the outside.
Eventually, the submarine sank.
Seawater poured in from the ventilation system, but because of the air cushion, it did not kill everyone.
And the only remaining oxygen slowly dissolves in the sea over time.
The entire restaurant was gradually completely swallowed by the sea.
At this time, no one died, because everyone was wearing the wetsuits that had been prepared in advance.
It wasn't until the end of the suit that the oxygen in the wetsuit was depleted, and everyone came to an end.
Speculation is so, as for what the actual situation is, Meng Lei is also very puzzled.
As I pondered, two minutes passed quickly.
Meng Lei also turned the whole restaurant around.
However, after some searching, he still found nothing.
The infinite pressure of the water erased all clues, and any trace of it was swallowed up by the pressure and bacteria under the erosion of time.
It's almost impossible to find the reason for the crew gathering in this restaurant.
And, with little oxygen left, he didn't have time to spend it any longer.
If he doesn't leave quickly, he will become the shipwreck, the first burial object in decades.
Grabbing the light rod that was gradually dimming, Meng Lei Huoran turned around and prepared to return immediately.
But at this moment, a corpse hanging in front of him slowly moved under the shaking of the current.
The rotting wetsuit scraped against the surface of a dining table, wiping away the accumulated sediment and revealing the not-so-corroded tabletop.
At first, Meng Lei didn't notice anything.
However, since the hull was tilted, the table was placed diagonally above Meng Lei, and it was the only way to the hatch.
At one point, as he passed the table, the light stick in his hand slid across the table.
The brightness of that moment made Meng Lei vaguely aware that under the shallow layer of rust, something seemed to be carved on the table.
Judging from the very regular structure, it seems to be a paragraph.
Meng Lei immediately stopped swimming and stepped forward with a lighting rod.
Through the faint red light in front of him, he vaguely discerned a few strange words.
"They...... Painting Skin Teaches ......"
“…… Parasitic ......"
"There's no hope......
