The people on this ship are beyond help.
Song Shixin and Yingying climbed out from the bottom one after another while everyone's attention was not on the "slide" and quickly returned to the deck.
There were a large number of lifeboats, so everyone first roughly allocated them.
Song Shixin and Yingying were naturally assigned one lifeboat, but a lifeboat could hold more than two people, so there were three other women with them.
Normally, at least one man should be assigned to the job. After all, rowing is a physically demanding job, and most of the ladies on the cruise ship are spoiled and naturally don't have much strength.
But when lives are at stake, no one remembers to maintain "gentlemanly manners". Men row together because they are stronger and can row faster, and they have a better chance of survival.
Therefore, if there are one or two women and men on a lifeboat, it is mostly because the men are too heavy, or they are a couple or lovers.
Obviously, these two kinds of close relationships have nothing to do with Song Shixin and the others.
The five of us looked at each other. At least everyone looked normal. Is that good news?
Song Shixin raised the corners of his mouth hidden under his clothes symbolically, but his heart sank. After all, who knew whether it was normal or not?
They picked up their own lifeboat and moved it alongside the ship.
Someone had already lowered a lifeboat. Fortunately, the monsters in the sea had no interest in their lifeboat, so they did not come forward to destroy it.
"It works! It works!" Smiles suddenly appeared on everyone's faces.
The only people who can't laugh are probably those who are terminally ill.
They fell on the deck like dead fish. This is the most torturous part of "fish disease", they are half dead but not yet dead.
Song Shixin looked at their exposed skin, which had completely turned into grayish-white "fish scales." Their mouths were constantly opening and closing to breathe, like fish left on the beach at low tide, desperately opening their mouths but unable to get anything to sustain their lives.
“Ho-ho-ho!”
They made sounds like donkeys with their dry and shrunken throats.
In fact, as long as you look into their eyes, even if you don’t understand, you will understand what they mean. After all, those eyes are full of desire for life.
But what is sad and terrifying is that those who are still able to stand have chosen to become blind and deaf at this time.
Everyone took off their coats and covered their faces with them. Those who didn't wear gloves took off their socks and put them on their hands as gloves.
The "patients" on the deck were lifted up high. They no longer had any strength to struggle and could only barely move their eyes and stare at the people who were lifting them.
"Don't blame us." Someone said, "I can only say... you have bad luck."
Many people will only "believe in fate" in two situations: one is when they are desperate, and the other is to seek peace of mind.
Just like people who have done something wrong will kneel before the statue to repent, in fact, everyone understands that the gods cannot forgive on behalf of the victims. They do this only to escape their own inner condemnation.
"Bang!"
A person who was so sick could still make such a loud noise and splash when he fell into the sea. Everyone saw several monsters quickly gathered together to eat him. The blood stained a small dark spot on the sea surface, but it soon disappeared completely.
This also means that the last bit of evidence of a person's existence in the world disappears.
But no one on the ship mourned his death. Instead, they were all happy that the monster also ate "patients".
"Boat, lower the boat!" Someone stepped forward to give orders, and everyone immediately followed suit.
The lifeboats were all gathered on one side, with ropes connecting the cruise ship and the small boat.
Then everyone picked up the "dead fish" on the deck and dispersed them into several delivery points in groups of three or two, with about three "dead fish" being delivered at each point.
The one who is farthest away throws first, and the order goes from far to near. After the monster is lured away, the others should take the opportunity to quickly jump onto the lifeboat.
This is actually not an easy task, but fortunately everyone put the lifeboats together, so they can always jump onto one of them. When they need to move, they can just step on the boat to move.
"Get ready!" The person in charge raised his hand, and with a heavy wave of his hand, the first batch of "feed" was sprinkled into the sea. The monsters rushed forward, while the people on the other side either jumped directly down or slid down by grabbing the rope.
Naturally, some people fell into the water, but they quickly swam desperately towards the lifeboat and struggled to climb onto it.
People in a team generally like to jump together because this way they can gather everyone as quickly as possible and then untie the rope and leave quickly.
Most of those responsible for delivering the "feed" had unhappy expressions on their faces, because this meant that they had no way to leave early, and the later they delayed, the more dangerous they would be than others.
But someone has to do this, otherwise no one can leave.
Therefore, their tempers are more anxious and irritable. When they hear someone say something like they are afraid to jump, they will start to curse: "Damn it! Hurry up!"
"If you can't, then die!"
The three women with Song Shixin and Yingying were ready to jump down, but were held back by the two men.
Song Shixin said to them, "We'll leave later."
One of the women frowned. "Why? None of us need to throw it away... We should definitely jump off the boat and leave now! Otherwise, we're going to be eaten by monsters!!"
