More importantly, the death of this tourist also made them see more black figures in the water. They swam around the cruise ship, apparently waiting for the next delicious meal that fell from the sky.
"We're fucked."
Someone suddenly seemed to have all his strength drained out of him, and fell heavily onto the deck. The crazy crowd became eerily quiet.
On the boat, there was a highly contagious "fish disease", and in the sea, there were man-eating monsters. They had no way to survive at all. The previous behavior of everyone biting each other like mad dogs seemed particularly ridiculous at this moment.
In the silence of everyone, Song Shixin was the first to react. He took the opportunity to sneak under the boat with Yingying.
"Be careful." Song Shixin watched Yingying climb down. After she landed safely, he followed her down and closed the "lid" again.
The last ray of light outside was completely blocked out. All they had at this moment was the slightly chaotic air, the dim lights and each other's breathing.
"Thank you." Yingying pulled off the clothes covering her mouth and nose and sniffed.
She said this from the bottom of her heart. If Song Shixin had not been with her along the way, perhaps she would be waiting to die with those people on the boat at this moment.
Song Shixin smiled at her and then wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Yingying quickly adjusted her mood and then asked Song Shixin: "Have you read everything here?"
Song Shixin nodded, then was stunned for a moment and shook her head. She suddenly remembered that Richard told her about the existence of the captain's room, but he didn't seem to say that there was only one captain's room under the ship besides the experimental space.
At that time, because of the sound of the mechanism being activated, Song Shixin didn't think too much about it when he ran back to check the situation. Now that he thinks about it, the road in front of the captain's room does not seem to be the end yet?
"Shall we go take a look now?" Yingying asked softly. She didn't know when she had wrapped her clothes back together, leaving only her eyes exposed.
Song Shixin didn't find it strange because she herself hadn't taken off this "armor".
They followed the route Song Shixin had taken, passed the experimental space, and then went to the captain's room.
The path at the entrance to the captain's cabin turned left, and indeed, it wasn't the return route, but extended right in another direction.
The footsteps were still the loudest thing in this space, but this time it wasn't just Song Shixin's footsteps, which made her feel a lot better.
"Where do you think it will lead to?" Yingying asked in a low voice. Because her mouth and nose were hidden under her clothes, her voice seemed muffled and she sounded unhappy.
"Maybe it's a road leading to the bottom of the sea?" Song Shixin joked, but quickly reassured him, "Don't worry, there are several large boxes in that experimental area. I've seen them before. They store some food and water."
"Hmm..." Yingying nodded slightly, her eyes looking forward.
At the end of the road, waiting for them was a green iron gate with a wheel on it. Song Shixin turned it hard, and after turning it a circle, the door was successfully opened.
A creaking sound echoed in the space, revealing what was inside.
Those are... lifeboats!
Song Shixin's eyes lit up and she hurried forward. Yes, how could such a large cruise ship not have a lifeboat prepared?
Even for the safety of his own people, Richard would not have left no backup plan. Obviously, these lifeboats hidden deep inside were his backup plan.
"There's a mechanism." Yingying found a black pull rod on the wall, which was installed in the shadow behind the steel pipe.
"I'll find the location of the mechanism." Song Shixin nodded at her, pushed part of the lifeboat, and began to carefully check the ground, but there seemed to be no other traces on it.
"What does this mechanism activate?" Song Shixin pressed her lower back. The lifeboats were quite heavy, and there were quite a lot of them. She kept bending over to move them, so her waist naturally felt sore.
"Is this it?" Yingying noticed a strange protruding structure under the deck above her head that seemed a bit out of place.
When Song Shixin heard her question, he looked up at the deck above his head and only then noticed that there was also a mechanism on it.
"Maybe it will come down." She said. According to her guess, after the mechanism is activated, perhaps the deck with different marks above the head will come down and become like a slide, and then people will be able to transport the lifeboat to it.
"Then..." Yingying opened her mouth, wanting to ask her: "Should they activate this mechanism?"
If the mechanism is activated, people outside will naturally know the existence of this place, which means they will lose their safe house.
From a selfish point of view, the people outside probably won't survive anyway, so it's better to wait until they die, then activate the mechanism and escape with the lifeboat. By then, there might not be any monsters in the sea anymore.
"Open." But Song Shixin gave a different answer from what she expected.
Yingying was a little surprised, but before she could ask why, Song Shixin had already answered: "Richard will not take back those monsters if he knows we are alive. We need some bait."
She had no intention of saving those people. She just made the most appropriate judgment after thinking about it. They really needed some bait. Anyway, those people didn't live long...
Considered as...making the best use of things?
Song Shixin was slightly startled by the thoughts in her mind at this moment. She suddenly realized that she was a little inhumane...
