It was my first time on a boat, and it was quite exciting to sway back and forth.

I originally thought I could sleep until dawn, but when Wen Qi was woken up, the room was darker than outside.

Feng Ce whispered in her ear: "Something is coming, get up and put on your clothes." As he spoke, he pulled Wen Qi up and put on her bra...

Wen Qi woke up with a start, quickly put on his underwear, overalls and slim-fitting bottoms, a loose fleece hooded sweatshirt, and finally his hiking boots. It was warm and neat, and didn't hinder his work.

Feng Ce was dressed similarly to her, and many of the clothes they brought with them this time were similar.

"The yin energy is so strong." Wen Qi was led out of the cabin by Feng Ce. A thick fog had risen on the sea at some point. Everything was hazy and the world seemed to be in chaos. Apart from the cruise ship they were on, only a large fishing boat in front of them was clear. She looked around in confusion, "Is it a ghost ship?"

Feng Ce's eyes were filled with eddies, "There are no living people on the ship anymore."

Wen Qi was not surprised. She looked around and asked, "Where are the people on our ship?" Even at night, there should be someone on duty, but it was too quiet now. She subconsciously released her soul power to check the situation, but unexpectedly found that the soul power disappeared as soon as it left her body.

"The mist can offset soul power." Feng Ce said, "It doesn't look like a barrier or a seal, but some kind of innate ability."

Wen Qi raised his eyebrows, "It's not an ordinary water ghost. Is there anything special in the water?"

Feng Ce shook his head and said, "Let's go to the cockpit first." He walked along the corridor towards the bow, and Wen Qi followed quietly behind him.

In the silent night of the deep sea, only the footsteps of two people could be heard.

When they passed the kitchen, they both stopped at the same time.

There was a "crunch, crunch" chewing sound, like someone was gnawing on a bone? Wen Qi turned around, walked to the kitchen door, and pushed open the half-closed door.

In the darkness, a tall man squatted on the ground, holding a long bone in both hands and gnawing on it intently.

Wen Qi frowned slightly and took two steps closer before realizing that what he was holding was a complete human calf, and the owner of the calf was lying soundlessly beside him.

When the man heard the noise, he stopped eating abruptly. Then he stood up unsteadily, holding his calf and slowly turned around.

The moment Wen Qi saw the man's appearance clearly, his pupils suddenly shrank.

The person in front of me... no, it would be more appropriate to call him a zombie. His face, neck, hands... all exposed parts were swollen, his skin was a bloodless white, like a steamed bun that had been soaked, and his body exuded a strong fishy smell.

Wen Qi smelled this smell as soon as he reached the door. He originally thought it was the smell of the kitchen itself, but now he realized that it was actually coming from this living dead.

"The soul is imprisoned in the body?" Wen Qi frowned, "But it seems that it has no consciousness."

Feng Ce also came in, "It's a residual soul, it has no independent consciousness, only instincts."

Wen Qi understood, and he clapped his hands. The wooden deck suddenly came to life, and in the blink of an eye, several vines grew out and tied up the zombies.

Feng Ce asked in confusion: "Why tie him up?"

Wen Qi: "It could be a villager. Let Uncle Eight come and identify the servants later. I'm afraid that if a thunderbolt goes down, we won't be able to tell who is who."

The living dead was tied up from head to toe like a green mummy, with vines tightened to form a big bow on his chest.

The two came out of the kitchen, and Wen Qi said, "There must be more than one zombie. Let's search separately and save as many as we can." It was obvious that the zombie's eating instinct was only for the living.

Feng Ce nodded, "Be careful." Then he turned and walked towards the stern of the ship.

Wen Qi looked back and wanted to release Taotie to follow Feng Ce, but the mist consumed too much soul power, and she didn't know if there were any other effects. Out of caution, she gave up the plan.

Wen Qi continued walking towards the cockpit. When passing by the deck, he saw a female zombie eating.

Wen Qi took two or three steps closer and kicked the zombie away. He looked down and saw that it was the captain who was eaten! He was still breathing, but it was obvious that he would not live for much longer. The contents of his chest were hollowed out.

Most importantly, the captain's spirit is gone.

The same thing happened to the person in the kitchen just now, but that person was obviously dead. She thought his soul went directly to the underworld, but now it seems that it was taken away before he died. No wonder he was eaten alive without even a scream.

Wen Qi's face turned gloomy. In addition to the flesh-eating zombies, there were also monsters that specialized in eating souls. Could they be the same kind that released the fog?

After tying up the zombie, Wen Qi entered the cockpit. There was no one inside, but it was very tidy and did not look like it had been through a fight or struggle.

She remembered that there were many crew members on the cruise ship. Even if most of them went back to the cabin to rest at night, the captain shouldn't be the only one there. Where did the others go? The cockpit was so small that it couldn't hide anyone. Wen Qi glanced at the instrument and found that the ship was still running smoothly. She intuitively felt that this situation was not good for driving, but she didn't know how to stop the ship.

She made a "tsk" sound, left the cockpit and went to the crew quarters on the first floor.

This cruise ship is not too big, with only four floors. The first floor is the staff cabin, the second floor is the entertainment area, the third floor is the guest rooms, and the fourth floor is a large terrace.

In addition, there is a warehouse below, which is used to store various supplies.

Wen Qi immediately covered his nose and entered. The sticky chewing sound became clearer and clearer. In the darkness, he could see that the layout inside was very similar to a university dormitory, with a bed above and a desk below, a very neat room.

There was one on the ground, two on the bed, and three more murdered crew members, all of whom were no longer breathing.

Wen Qi released vines and tied up the three zombies.

There were three dormitories, one on the deck, and one in the kitchen. Five crew members had died. The passengers might be in a worse situation. And Chang Ba, was he really still sleeping in the cabin? Wen Qi dragged the three zombies back the same way. When he walked to the deck, he found that the dead captain had been resurrected as a zombie.

She frowned. Was it because of the mist? A vine branched out and bound the captain as well.

When Wen Qi walked to the kitchen door, he found a long trail of blood, which went from the kitchen all the way to the stairs, and then spread upwards intermittently.

Sure enough, these living dead can accurately find the location of the living.

Wen Qi dragged the six zombies back to the guest room, pushed open the door of Chang Ba's room, and sure enough, there was no one inside.

But the room was in a mess, as if there had been a fight.

Chang Ba was still awake? His soul was not eaten? Why? Wen Qi came out of the room and went to the guest room next door. The door was closed tightly. She knocked on the door and waited for a while, but no one came to open the door. She was about to break in when the door behind her suddenly opened.

"What are you doing so late at night?"

Wen Qi turned around and saw the familiar yellow-haired man.

Huangmao was also startled, especially when he saw the six things that obviously did not look like living people being dragged behind Wen Qi. He screamed and his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.

"I was wrong, I was really wrong, please don't kill me!" Huang Mao regretted so much that his tears and snot flowed together, "I will never dare to do it again! Big sister, sir! Please spare me!"

Wen Qi frowned and looked at him, another sober person. She asked in confusion: "Why are you awake?"

"Why am I awake?" Huangmao repeated subconsciously, and then realized, "Yes, yes, I shouldn't have been awake. I will go to bed early and get up early in the future, and never stay up late again!"

Wen Qi suddenly realized, "You haven't slept tonight?"

Huang Mao kowtowed while crying, "I really know I was wrong. Can you just treat me as if I was sleepwalking and let me go? I don't want to die!"

Wen Qi made an impatient "tsk" sound and explained, "Something happened on the boat. These are zombies. Everyone who slept at night was infected. Where's your female companion? Is she still awake?"

The yellow-haired man was stunned for several seconds before he understood, "Zombies?!"

Wen Qi nodded, "That's about it."

Huangmao stood up suddenly, "She just fell asleep, I'll go wake her up."

Wen Qi ignored him, turned around and kicked the door open, and when he went in, he saw that the man was sleeping soundly on the bed, and his soul was gone. Fortunately, the man had locked the windows and doors, so the living dead could not get in, and his body was still intact.

But... now the door has been kicked open by her and the lock is broken.

Wen Qi sighed, dragged the man up with the vines, and carried him to the opposite door along with the bedding. "Lock the doors and windows, don't come out, don't sleep, and don't open the door if someone knocks."

The yellow-haired man nodded repeatedly, with fear still on his face, "I can't wake her up."

Wen Qi nodded and reminded again: "Don't fall asleep. If there are still people sleeping or awake later, I will send them all over." After a pause, she said: "You'd better draw the curtains too."

Huangmao nodded halfway, and suddenly looked behind Wen Qi with a look of fear.

Wen Qi didn't move. The vines stretched out branches and tied up the living dead who tried to attack her. She was very calm, "You have discovered it, how could I not know?"

There was such a strong smell of blood, and I knew it was the short-legged crew member without even looking.

Afterwards, Wen Qi checked all the guest rooms on the third floor and found many people sleeping, as well as two people who had died in tragic ways.

There are too many people, and Huangmao’s small room obviously can’t accommodate them all.

Wen Qi could only take them to her own guest room and help Huang Mao settle the temporary survivors before leaving again. Of course, she was still dragging a bunch of zombies behind her, and the number had expanded to nine again.

She went up the stairs to the terrace and took a look. The terrace was very empty and she could see to the bottom at a glance. There was nothing there.

She could only turn around and go to the second floor, hoping to meet a living crew member or Chang Ba, otherwise it would be a huge problem for them to return home tomorrow.

Maybe it was because of bad luck before, this time Wen Qi ran into Chang Ba as soon as he entered the bridge room. (End of this chapter)
