Naili, who didn't need much sleep in her previous life, couldn't rest long even after death, for she had transmigrated to the interstellar era. Overly advanced technology brought forth a di...
Neuropathy.
Song Shixin cursed in his heart, but everything looked normal on the surface.
"So the channel we are about to pass through isn't the real Serpent Strait?!" Yingying widened her eyes in surprise, receiving an affirmative nod from Song Shixin.
Among the routes marked on the map, there are routes that pass through other straits. Most of the people on this ship know nothing about the sea and routes. Even if some of them have some theoretical knowledge, they are not much different from illiterate people when they are on the real sea.
Richard and his team took advantage of this.
Any small strait, as long as people don’t know it, can become the “Serpent Strait”.
"So what should we do now?" Yingying looked at Song Shixin, hoping that she could come up with a solution, but unfortunately, Song Shixin didn't know what they should do.
"If we were on land, we might be able to escape." Song Shixin's tone was unusually calm, "But now, we are on the sea."
Yingying looked at her palm in silence. The wound on her arm was still aching slightly. Too many things had happened at once before, and she had not paid attention to the pain, but now she suddenly felt it.
"If only Sirens really existed," she murmured. If so, perhaps Richard wouldn't be so cruel, and nothing that happened now would happen.
The two people in the utility room maintained a consistent silence, while outside the utility room, there was another kind of chaos.
No one can escape.
Everything was just as Richard had planned.
He and his sailors stayed in the wheelhouse. Through the special glass, they could clearly see everything outside, but the outsiders could not see them inside.
The people in the cab all had blank expressions on their faces, like puppets, perhaps because they had seen this kind of scene too many times.
Richard had taken them on many ships, and every time, such a "tragedy" would happen. This time was the same, except that the scale was a little bigger and there were a little more people.
Once this "tragedy" is over and they get the money they need, they will renovate the ship because it is precious and cannot be discarded casually.
Then give it a new name and go to another place...
The cries for help from the people sounded like a high-pitched melody to Richard's ears, reminding him of that special day when those people had also cried out in the same way.
It's not that no one in the cab tried to break it open, but it was specially built by Richard and was not that fragile at all.
"I don't want to die, save me!"
"Help, I don't want to die, I don't want to be here..."
No matter where they are, it is not safe. There is no need for Richard and others to take action. Those who have been infected will not let their own kind go first.
Song Shixin saw those scenes through the small window. Knowing that there was no way he could be saved, he tore off other people's clothes and pulled them to the ground together in a mess.
They are dedicated to inflicting wounds on others, and if that doesn't work, they will spit at them. In short, they will do whatever it takes.
"It's not safe here either."
She said that the people outside had gone crazy and only wanted to drag more people to hell with them, so they began to frantically destroy things on the ship and look for places where people might be hiding, including various rooms.
So they will find their way here sooner or later.
Yingying bit her fingers. She felt that if this continued, she would go crazy before those people came in.
"We have to go under the ship." Song Shi thought, "These people don't know the entrance under the ship."
Maybe they can hide in there, at least to get through this crisis first, and then deal with the consequences later.
The question now is - how to get there?
Song Shixin bit her lip, took off her thin jacket and put it on her head, then asked Yingying to do the same. The two sleeves were mainly used to cover the mouth and nose, and then tied a knot behind the head to secure it.
"We'll find a chance to sneak in. Remember to cough loudly and try to avoid people."
The two of them helped check each other and made sure their mouths and noses were covered. Song Shixin stepped forward and opened the door a little.
People were still chasing each other, but some had lost their strength and fell to the ground and against the wall.
In order to protect themselves, many people also wore something on their heads and faces. This was good news, because in this way Song Shixin and Yingying would not be too conspicuous.
The utility room was located in a remote area, and those people had not noticed it yet, so Song Shixin pushed open the door and walked with Yingying, one in front and one behind. He deliberately hunched his back, held on to the wall, and pretended to be weak.
"Cough cough cough vomit... cough cough cough! Cough cough cough!"
"Help... Help me, I don't want to die, cough cough cough vomit——"
They had to perform the whole act. The two said they were pretending to cough and vomit, but they didn't save even a little bit of energy. Song Shixin even pretended to pull other people's clothes, just like those people did.
"Get away! You lunatic!" The person whose clothes she grabbed pushed her away and ran away. Soon someone else tried to catch her, while Song Shixin pretended to stagger back, but actually continued to move towards the storage room.
She kept a certain distance from Yingying so that others would not notice that their actions were too similar.
When they had gone most of the way, pretending to be so, someone on the bow of the boat suddenly shouted, "There's a monster in the water!"
A tourist chose to jump off the boat amidst the chaos on the boat, but he didn't expect that as soon as he fell into the sea, a monster that was neither human nor fish would immediately emerge from the water, bite off his head, tear his body apart, and drag him to the bottom of the sea.
