When Lu Xuan went down to the bottom step by step, although the water level was indeed much lower than last time, it still reached Lu Xuan's thighs.
No one wants to stay in this damp, cold and sunless environment any longer.
Based on the information he got from Shen Keyin, Lu Xuan chose to go directly to the bow to find Room 102.
Lu Xuan’s current goal is quite clear, which is to find Shen Keyin’s medicine first, and he will not force it as for other supplies.
Holding a flashlight, Lu Xuan struggled to hold on to the mottled wall and went down to the bottom step by step. Although the water level was indeed much lower than last time, it still reached Lu Xuan's thighs.

Holding a flashlight, Lu Xuan struggled to hold on to the mottled wall and waded forward.
The air in the cabin was filled with a damp and moldy smell mixed with the unique smell of corroded metal.
Lu Xuan also had to pay attention to whether there was any debris under his feet to avoid being tripped. Every step he took seemed to be fighting against the invisible gravity. The accumulated water under his feet rippled in circles due to his movement, making a dull sound, which was particularly harsh in this silent environment.
It took Lu Xuan nearly ten minutes to cover a distance of less than twenty meters.
Fortunately, he had a flashlight in his hand, and Lu Xuan finally found the room marked with number 102 when he was about to reach the end of the corridor.
The door was closed tightly. Lu Xuan tried to turn the handle, but it was easily opened. However, due to the resistance of the water, Lu Xuan had to spend a lot of effort to push the door open.
As there was no light in the house, it was pitch black. With the cold water underfoot and the damp and foul smell in the air, the whole room was like the entrance to the abyss, swallowing up all the light and warmth, leaving only endless silence and unknown chill.
Lu Xuan scanned the room with a flashlight. He estimated that the entire room was less than ten square meters. Although small, it had everything needed.
There is a bed, a desk, a TV cabinet, a wardrobe, and even a bathroom. It is obvious that Chen Keyin's bedroom should be considered one of the more high-end rooms in the yacht. However, the water level has now flooded the bed. If Lu Xuan had not discovered the backrest behind the bed with a flashlight, he would not even be able to tell where the bed is.
Lu Xuan first fumbled around in the closet and found a few hangers and a set of nightgown that had been completely soaked in sea water and turned slightly yellow.
Lu Xuan was not interested in these supplies, nor were they the main purpose of this trip. Lu Xuan chose to ignore them directly and searched the closet up and down, but did not find the handbag that Shen Keyin mentioned.
Lu Xuan patiently groped his way to the bed. Since the ship had experienced the baptism of a storm and even almost capsized, it was reasonable for a bag to be thrown to any corner by inertia.
After searching the entire bed, Lu Xuan only touched the bedding that was still soaked in sea water, and two pillows. There seemed to be no other items.
Lu Xuan even squatted down and groped around in the water along the bed. In addition to finding a boot and a bath towel, he also found two unopened bags of potato chips floating on the water.
"Huh..." After another round of blind groping, Lu Xuan stood up from the water and breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking around, there was still endless darkness, so oppressive that it made people feel suffocated, as if even time would be swallowed up by this thick darkness.
Staying in such an environment for a long time, every inch of your skin seems to be penetrated by invisible cold air, and the coldness in your bones makes you shiver involuntarily. Even the strongest will can't help but feel an indescribable fatigue and discomfort.
Pinching his nose, Lu Xuan took a few deep breaths. After adjusting for a moment, he groped along the edge of the bed again.
It really is true that hard work pays off. When Lu Xuan groped to the bedside table in the corner that was completely submerged in water, his right hand touched a leather object.
Lu Xuan excitedly picked up the object from the water and immediately shone a flashlight on it.
It should be a beige women's backpack, about thirty to forty centimeters wide, with the surface covered with staggered stripes and a logo that Lu Xuan couldn't understand.
It basically matched the information Shen Keyin told him. Since he had found what he was looking for, Lu Xuan didn't stop at all. He stuffed the potato chips into his backpack, held the bag in his left hand, held the flashlight in his right hand, turned around and walked out.
I really don't want to stay in this place for a moment.
Lu Xuan felt that staying in this cold, damp, dark, and musty place for one more minute would be a ruthless torture to his body and mind. It was as if his soul was being torn apart bit by bit by invisible hands, causing him excruciating pain.
In my life, I have never hated a place so much.
Even on that stormy night, when the yacht was tottering in the raging sea and was eventually forced to abandon the ship and struggle for survival alone in the cold water, the despair and helplessness seemed to carry a hint of freedom at this moment.
The roar of the waves and the raging wind and rain, though a cruel test of nature, were more bearable than the dead silence of this confined space. On that raging ocean, he could at least feel the pulse of life, waging a silent battle against the forces of nature. But here, everything seemed to stand still, time becoming sticky and slow, every second silently torturing his will.
