Chapter 114

After leaving the control room, the propulsion equipment of the entire ship was revealed. It was much larger than the one on Qiao Sheng's ship. The three of them did not hesitate whether to dismantle the equipment or not. They just gave up. The model did not match. Their ship was too small and the equipment was too big.

Another reason was that they both had one set of equipment on their ships, so it was really unnecessary to dismantle it.

"What's the point of dismantling this thing? The more fun I had dismantling it, the more painful it was. In the end, I didn't install it. It's still in the storage box and it's a nuisance." Xia Beibei beat her chest and stamped her feet when she thought of this. She never knew that she was so bad at doing things.

"Don't worry about it. Li Mu and I can go to your boat tonight to help you install it. I think Li Mu's installation is quite simple. Of course, I don't understand it either. I can only hand over some tools or something." Qiao Sheng patted Xia Beibei's shoulder, indicating that they were in the same boat.

After bypassing these machines, a shoe was found at the stairs of the bow. There was no blood or body. The toe of the shoe was facing the stairs. It should be that someone ran too fast and the shoe fell here. As for where the owner of the shoe is, there is no way to know.

The three of them went up to the first floor. This floor is the living area. The warehouse, kitchen, canteen, and cold storage are all on this floor.

With Xia Beibei's precise identification, they found four bodies in order, under the shelves blocked by curtains in the kitchen, in the closed cabinets, under the dining cart in the cafeteria, and in the tableware display cabinet in the corner.

Qiao Sheng and Li Mu took on the responsibility of this head-on attack. Xia Beibei dared to point but not rush. Whenever she saw something wrong, she would say it and let Qiao Sheng and the others check it out. The probability of finding four out of six was actually quite high.

Several people worked together to find the bodies. Li Mu did the work of searching the bodies wearing rabbit fur gloves. Qiao Sheng looked at the leather gloves and said that he would throw them into the toilet and flush them when he got home, and then make a new one.

All the bodies had not been dead for too long, and there were no external injuries, dehydration or hunger. Three of them had work permits, but the one under the dining car had no work permit and was dressed differently from the others.

"We need a pen and a notebook now. If we don't record these things, it will be very difficult for us to solve the case." Xia Beibei wandered around in the kitchen, trying to find something to record.

Unexpectedly, she really found it. She found a pencil and a notebook in the cabinet near the stove. Judging from the handwriting on it, it should be the chef's menu. She

also found a bunch of keys in the corner on the side of the refrigerator. When she came out with the things, Qiao Sheng asked her if she dared to wander around and was not afraid of being killed again.

"It's okay. You won't be so scared after seeing so many things. You can just scream a few more times, but you two will suffer." Xia Beibei was fearless.

She gave the notebook and pencil to Li Mu, and the keys to Qiao Sheng. After a closer look, she saw that there were labels on the keys. There were keys to the warehouse, keys to the cold storage, and other keys to Chinese medicine boxes, spice boxes, etc. There were probably dozens of keys.

Qiao Sheng gave Xia Beibei a thumbs up after reading them. It's not that she and Li Mu couldn't find these things, but they had to search them thoroughly, which was time-consuming and laborious. Xia Beibei was quick, accurate and ruthless.

After finding some cloth to cover the faces of the four bodies, the three of them opened the door and entered the warehouse. It must be said that the food in this warehouse is quite rich.

Xia Beibei and Qiao Sheng's bags were full, so the job of packing was handed over to Li Mu. All kinds of vegetables and seeds were first put into the storage cabinet, and then all kinds of dried meat, poultry and fish, there were quite a lot of types, and finally the Chinese medicine boxes, spice boxes and seeds, just opened the lock to look at the things inside, and then took the box away directly.

Qiao Sheng thought the locks were good, and there was a key with a lock, so he took off the key and locked it together, without thinking about how to use it, just a simple act of collecting.

The three of them were like locusts passing through. When they were ready to leave the warehouse and enter the connected cold storage, there was no one in the warehouse.

When they opened the cold storage, they felt cold all over even in their cotton clothes. Looking at the heavy cold storage door, Qiao Sheng and Xia Beibei stayed at the door and let Li Mu go in alone to collect the ingredients. The two girls were like two door gods, using their backs to support the cold storage door to prevent it from closing suddenly.

This worry was quite useful. Qiao Sheng had been holding the door of the cold storage with his back. Xia Beibei was holding the door obediently at first, but later she got bored and came over to whisper to Qiao Sheng. The two of them were talking together and didn't notice that the door Xia Beibei was holding was slowly moving.

It was Li Mu who was collecting food and circling the shelves of the cold storage. When he came out, he looked at the door and found it. He shouted, and Qiao Sheng subconsciously pulled Xia Beibei, and the heavy iron door slammed into the door frame with a clang.

Xia Beibei was stunned. She looked at the cold storage door behind her, at Qiao Sheng's hand holding her arm tightly, and at Li Mu who was standing in the cold storage with his hand pointed at them.

"I'm fine. I'm not scared or injured. My problem is that I shouldn't have run over here." Xia Beibei came to her senses and immediately pushed the half of the cold storage door.

After a long time, the cold storage door didn't move at all. After a careful look, she found that the door was deformed because it was hit too hard just now. It was stuck in the door frame and couldn't be opened.

Xia Beibei gave up opening the door and walked to Qiao Sheng. She leaned her head on her, sighed, and said that it was a good thing that Sister Qiao was there, otherwise the door would have been broken if it hit her.

"Would you have run over to talk without me? So you don't have to thank me. It doesn't count as me saving you. Hey, you can't make random analysis. How can you feel that I have harmed you after such analysis?" Qiao Sheng's interruption made Xia Beibei just laugh, and the fear was gone.

Li Mu, who was collecting food in the cold storage, initially picked up the food on the shelves and collected it bit by bit, but later he changed to collecting the whole shelf. It was fast and covered a large area, so he would rather kill it by mistake than put it in the wrong place.

Qiao Sheng and Xia Beibei were still chatting, and neither of them noticed how Li Mu collected the food. When he came out, they looked up and found that there was nothing in the cold storage except ice.

Xia Beibei looked at the cold storage and couldn't help asking Li Mu if it could be dismantled. Li Mu dispelled her idea with one sentence. The wooden boat would definitely not be able to bear the weight of such a heavy cold storage, but it was possible to dismantle the door and recycle the iron products.

Xia Beibei took out her universal wrench from her pocket. She always carried this with her. While she was removing the door, Li Mu went to the kitchen to collect two large double-door refrigerators.

Qiao Sheng happened to see it and didn't understand why he would make such a thing without electricity.

"Keep it. At worst, you can recycle the iron in the future. What if you can get solar panels or something like that? We will encounter the city island that Lou Ping'an and the others talked about sooner or later. Let's prepare in advance." Li Mu walked to Xia Beibei who was removing the door and collected the iron door she had removed.

The three of them continued to look for stairs to go upstairs. The third floor from the bottom should be a living area, with independent rooms, single beds, bunk beds, and several rooms with traces of life. They found corpses again.

These corpses were quite different from the ones they had encountered before. There were many external injuries. The corpses were not hidden in a corner, but fell anywhere. The doors of these rooms were also broken.

The room was filled with a strong smell of blood and strange odors. They didn't bother to search, so they just checked and closed the doors. However, the smell of rotting corpses still filled the entire floor.

Qiao Sheng and the other two wanted to look for clues in every room, but later gave up. They really didn't have the strength or the tolerance to do so.

Not only were the corpses rotting, but some were also beheaded. It was visually shocking and disturbing to the sense of smell. Xia Beibei covered her mouth and nose and said that all it needed was some eerie background music. It was like a horror movie.

After searching two-thirds of the rooms, the three chose to go up the stairs to the fourth floor from the bottom. On that floor, almost every room with traces of life had a corpse. Although it was disgusting, Li Mu still tried to identify them. More than half of the corpses died from knife wounds, and a small number of people had no external injuries.

The fourth floor from the bottom was full of boxes. Li Mu went to open a box, which was full of canned foods. The production date was half a month ago. There were notes on each box, which should be the coordinates and names of various islands. After

a rough look, I didn't see any of them before, and there was no name of the cannibal tribe they went to last time.

"It's impossible for those people to exist. They are almost like primitive people. They don't look like they can be associated with modernization." Qiao Sheng shook his head.

"Then can we understand that each instance triggered may be an independent entity or may be related to each other?" Li Mu thought along her lines.

The two began to sort out the instances they encountered. Xia Beibei encountered a ship full of supplies and nothing else.

However, the supplies she collected and the cans in the cartons in front of her should be produced by the same processing plant and can be related to this instance.

It is not known whether the ghost cruise they encountered before has a home in this instance, but the cans all look similar and are listed as pending.

The cannibal island should not be the same copy as the one encountered this time. That one is more like a primitive tribe. Unfortunately, their completion is not enough and they cannot get rewards. They only get a fish bone bracelet.

Three people encountered four copies in total. Two of them are definitely related, one is pending, and one is not related. After summarizing, it is found that there is almost no reference value.

Putting away the notebook and pencil, giving up thinking about this problem, Li Mu put away all the canned food. Most of them are canned luncheon meat, and there are also some canned fruits and vegetables. They are all ready to eat after opening the lid. When the time comes, they will share them equally. They can keep the ones they like to eat, and take the ones they don’t like to eat to the trading system to exchange for other supplies.

After collecting the boxes on this layer, Li Mu's bag was also mostly packed. The next layer was filled with containers. Because the bag was almost full, he asked Xia Beibei to pick some at random. After filling the bag, they were ready to return to the deck.

When they walked to the iron door leading to the deck, they found that the door was locked. There was a distorted face at the window of the iron door, smiling at them weirdly.

This scene scared Qiao Sheng and Xia Beibei who were walking in front and they staggered. If Li Mu hadn't supported them from behind, the two of them would have fallen into the quilt.
