Chapter 317 Exploration Cruise
drop.
Inside the cargo ship, the whistle installed in the captain's command room sounded automatically, and a luxury cruise ship appeared on the sea ten kilometers away from the cargo ship. The ship was full of guests and was heading towards Haicheng.
Tan Shengting was taking a nap and was awakened by the noise.
The other survivors on the cargo ship also gathered in the captain's command room.
"Captain, that cruise ship looks familiar. Have we seen it before during our voyage?"
"Is it the Sea Acrobatic Troupe? I can see the sails."
Several people held up binoculars and watched the cruise ship getting closer and closer. Tan Shengting tried to contact the other party.
He turned on the FM.
But no one answered the phone.
When the cruise ship was a thousand kilometers away, zombies could be seen limping on the deck through the telescope. Many of the zombies looked skinny, like walking pieces of bacon.
The cruise ship was completely blown here by the sea breeze. There was no one on board and it was heading towards the cargo ship.
When the cruise ship was about to approach, Tan Shengting used his ice power to freeze the entire ship.
A man in a black short-sleeved shirt climbed to the top of the cruise ship with a bloodthirsty smile on his face.
The next second, all the frost on the cruise ship thawed, and the frozen zombies quickly resumed movement, and the cruise ship continued to collide with the cargo ship.
While Tan Shengting continued to release his ice power to freeze the opponent's ship, he used the walkie-talkie to notify the psychic on the Stone Mountain and request rescue.
When Luo Yunjin arrived with ten star-level psychics, what he saw was a group of zombies swimming in the black sea. They kept climbing up the beach, shaking their feet and running madly.
There are at least two thousand zombies on the cruise ship, including more than twenty humanoid zombies above level seven.
"This is the ship of the Maritime Acrobatic Troupe!" Cui Hun ran forward and said. Seeing many familiar faces floating in the sea, his pupils trembled.
Almost all the survivors on the ship turned into zombies.
Xuan Hongyan quickly stepped forward and cooperated with Tan Shengting to freeze the cruise ship to prevent it from colliding with the cargo ship.
However, the man in black standing on the cruise ship seemed to have a very similar ability to Pei Chuan, which was also invalidation, and could invalidate the superpowers that were deployed.
Lin Xi released thunderclouds, and lightning fell on the sea, stunning all the zombies.
And because his ability level is higher than that of the neutralized ability zombies, lightning also causes certain damage to him.
The man in black, who had been very arrogant at first, hid in the cabin of the cruise ship in fear. The other zombies who had not yet entered the water also returned to the ship and did not dare to go out.
Qian Yuanfeng and Li Shui pulled all the zombies on the sea back to the shore, took out the crystal cores, and then had a fire-type mutant burn them to ashes.
Because they arrived in time, no survivors on the cargo ship were injured or killed.
This made Tan Shengting decide to move the cargo ship to the shore, as it was still very dangerous in the sea.
The high-level psychics on the cargo ship have all joined Stone Mountain. Now there are only a group of ordinary people and low-level psychics left on it. Everyone usually grows vegetables on the ship and occasionally goes to the night market at night.
"This cruise ship belongs to the acrobatic troupe. There are still a lot of supplies on it. I just don't know if it has been damaged by those zombies." Cui Hun said.
Yun Lailai also came forward and said, "Yes, if all the survivors on the ship have turned into zombies, there should still be a lot of supplies on board. We previously cooperated with the auction house, so there might still be a lot of items left."
"Then let's go up and take a look?" Luo Yunjin discovered that the cruise ship was almost twice the size of the cargo ship, and it was well-preserved, with no dirt on the deck. Even if there were no supplies available, after clearing out the zombies, the ship could be repaired and used again.
No one had any objection.
Tan Shengting also joined the exploration cruise team.
There are eleven people in total.
Cui Hun is a newly promoted star-level water-based ability user. He also lived on the maritime acrobatic troupe for a period of time and is very familiar with the ship. He is in charge of the exploration of supplies on the ship.
There are many zombies hiding in the cruise ship, but they have all seen Lin Xi's strength and dare not show up.
Most of the rooms are well preserved. It is obvious that the star zombie on the ship is a very smart and sophisticated zombie. There is even air conditioning in one of the rooms.
A small amount of supplies can be found in almost every room, including some snacks, alcohol, and medicine.
Just as they were about to enter the second floor of the cabin, Cui Hun stopped.
A young zombie was squatting on the stairs with its head buried between its knees. Its face could not be seen clearly. Its body was covered with scars, its hair was sparse, and there were marks of being cut with a sickle on the top of its head.
Cui Hun's eyes turned red at that moment, "Xiao Xi?"
The zombie raised its head slightly. Half of its face had rotted away. It made a gurgling sound in its throat and looked at Cui Hun with a confused look in its eyes.
Yun Lailai had also seen this child. "What on earth happened on this ship?"
The cruise ship was very clean, abnormally clean, with no dust on any of the decorations or even the tables, but the zombies on the ship had obviously been abused before they turned into zombies.
You should know that although this cruise ship is managed by an acrobatic troupe, most of the people on board are high-level psychics, and even the mutated animals and zombies they take in are relatively gentle.
It was able to turn everyone on the ship into zombies. There were no signs of fighting on the ship, so it didn't look like they were encountering a zombie tide.
The little zombie had no ill will towards Cui Hun, but when it saw him trying to go upstairs, it suddenly stood up, staggered in front of the stairs, and made a howling sound, as if trying to stop them from moving forward.
Cui Hun took out two water crystal cores and handed them to it, then resolutely went upstairs.
Unlike the neat and tidy first floor, the second floor was covered with blood-red spider silk. Red light was winding and swirling on the thin spider silk, and every time the red light made a circle, it would spread outward an inch.
Countless red cocoons were held in mid-air by spider silk, and one could vaguely see the shape of a person inside the cocoons.
But there was no trace of the zombie spider. Even when Luo Jinbei used the condensed metal machete to cut the spider silk, there was no movement.
And these spider silks are more fragile than imagined.
Luo Jinbei cut off a cocoon and scratched it lightly with a machete. Suddenly, a pool of human-faced spider wrapped in red liquid flowed out.
The spider was still squirming, its claws twitching.
Luo Yunjin felt disgusted.
Lin Xi released electricity without saying a word, turning all the spider webs and cocoons within his sight into charcoal.
Without the troublesome cobwebs, the layout of the rooms on the second floor is revealed.
The doors here are double-layered. The outermost layer is a stainless steel door, which is well preserved. The inner layer is an iron door with a password lock. Behind the square transparent window of 20 square centimeters, you can see the red spider webs with pupae in the room.
These spider webs were darker in color than the outside, and as if they sensed someone peeping outside, the spider silk directly shattered the window glass and poked out.
Luo Jinbei cut off the spider silk in time.
Lin Xi began to release lightning in each room, burning all the spider webs and cocoons inside.
More than half of the supernatural power was wasted on cleaning the spider silk on the second floor.
Luo Yunjin instinctively knew that the contents of the cocoons couldn't be released. Her sixth sense was very accurate. So she asked Lin Xi to burn all the spider silk in the room with electricity, leaving not a single bit behind.
All the zombies that had previously hidden in the cruise ship were hiding on the third floor. They sensed Lin Xi's powerful supernatural powers and did not dare to confront him head-on.
"We didn't hurt anyone." A seventh-level fire zombie mustered up the courage, "We haven't eaten for three months. We smelled the aroma of food near this coast..."
Tan Food Shengting said with a cold expression, "So you just want to capsize our boat and have a feast?"
“We are also trying to survive…”
"Zombies above level seven no longer crave flesh and blood. You can completely restrain yourselves and eat the same food that ordinary people can. Low-level zombies won't die even if they don't eat for a long time." Qian Yuanfeng said coldly, "There are countless zombie fish in this sea. You have other food sources."
"Since you have chosen to attack humans, you must be prepared to never return."
The zombies trembled.
The star zombie knew that its nullification ability had no effect on Lin Xi, so it simply chose to lie down. "We didn't hurt any of you this time, and we even lost a lot of zombies. As long as you are willing to let us go, you can take all the supplies on this ship."
He walked forward, his handsome face a little thin, looking very calm.
"What are the spider webs and cocoons on the second floor?" Yun Lailai asked everyone's question.
"Zombie spider, there is a ninth-level zombie spider on the bottom of this ship, but the spider is dead, and the crystal core has been absorbed by me. The spider silk and cocoons on the second floor were originally dead things, and we didn't have time to clean them up." The star-level zombie opened his palm, revealing a deep red zombie crystal core.
"This crystal core hasn't been fully absorbed yet, so the spider silk is still active. I originally planned to embed this crystal core into one of the spider cocoons and cultivate a zombie spider that obeys my orders."
He did not hide anything and told the truth.
"I want to ask, what exactly happened on this ship? How did you become zombies?" Cui Hun kept staring at the other person's eyes, and he would notice any slight change in his expression.
But unexpectedly, the other party was terrifyingly calm.
Even if a psychic is bitten by an ordinary zombie, he will not turn into a zombie. The one who can turn a high-level psychic into a zombie is definitely not an ordinary zombie.
"The ship didn't encounter a zombie wave. Three months ago, there was an auction on this ship. We were all affected by one of the items and turned into zombies. It was man-made."
"Someone used this item to turn everyone on the ship into zombies, trying to make us all serve him. But he couldn't control over two thousand zombies, and in the end, the item backfired and turned him into our food."
Yun Lailai opened her eyes wide. She only brought out the star-level crystal core, and this crystal core was the last item to be auctioned. She had seen all the previous items and found nothing unusual.
"Are you talking about the second-to-last item, the box of very pure stardust powder?" Yun Lailai said. The box of stardust she saw was dark red and was said to be extracted from the crystal core of a high-level zombie.
This kind of stardust has purer energy than crystal cores of the same level, and psychics can advance quickly through it.
"Yes." The Star Zombie glanced at her.
Yun Lailai still felt something was strange.
She remembered that the person who finally got the item was an old man.
"I can take you to see the booth of the previous auction. There should still be some residual stardust powder on the scene." said the Star Zombie.
So a group of people followed a few zombies and headed to the underground auction house.
It's the same place as it was three months ago, all the decorations haven't changed.
There was indeed a very oppressive feeling, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air.
As soon as Yun Lailai came in, her blood boiled and she felt dizzy. She subconsciously grabbed Cui Hun's sleeve.
Both of them had the same reaction and soon collapsed to the ground.
Both of them have just advanced to star level.
Luo Yunjin also felt a little dizzy.
"There is a magnetic field here that can interfere with superpowers, just like... the superpower shielding device your brother used in the underground base." Lin Xi held the girl's cold little hand.
Luo Yunjin was already a third-level star, so although he felt a little uncomfortable, he was not affected too much.
It was obvious that this star-level zombie had bad intentions and deliberately lured them here, wanting to take this opportunity to weaken their superpowers.
Several zombies were surprised to see that Lin Xi was still normal, and then became even more excited.
The Star Zombie no longer concealed his madness. He walked to the center of the auction venue and took out an empty box from the glass display case. There was a little dark red stardust stuck in it.
"As long as I get your crystal core, I will be the strongest zombie in the entire blue planet!" His hands and feet turned into dark red spider tentacles, and his face gradually aged.
Yun Lailai saw the other person's face clearly and finally remembered that this person was the one who had won Stardust at the auction before.
It turns out that he was the one directing and acting in the show from the beginning to the end.
The zombie spider pinned the two seventh-level zombies nearby with its tentacles, and then wrapped them into a spider cocoon. Then red light surged on the tentacles. When the spider cocoon broke, only a skeleton was left inside.
After absorbing the energy of two seventh-level zombies, the zombie spider became more arrogant. It began to spin silk continuously, sealing all the doors and passages tightly, and locking the eleven star-level psychics in the underground auction house.
Lin Xi saw the oil drum on the nearby wall.
You can't use fire or lightning powers here. As long as the sparks fall on the oil barrel, everyone will die.
Luo Yunjin also followed his gaze and saw the neatly arranged oil drums.
She leaned close to Lin Xi's ear and whispered, "Wait a minute, use the explosive oil barrel with supernatural powers, and I'll bring everyone into the space?"
"No, the space cannot be exposed." Lin Xi glanced at Yun Lailai who was standing at the back. Even though they had been together for a while, he didn't dare to trust these people who looked innocent on the outside.
"What should we do then?"
"Hold on. We have twelve star-level psychics here. It's just a mutated zombie spider. We can easily deal with it." Lin Xi deliberately said loudly.
Xuan Hongyan felt extremely excited. "That's right, with so many of us, are we really afraid of a zombie spider?"
As he said that, he teamed up with Tan Shengting to freeze the ground.
The frost gradually froze the zombie spider's tentacles. It moved with difficulty, a brutal expression appeared on its face, and veins bulged.
Luo Jinbei released hundreds of metal knives, attacking the spider's entire body.
These metal knives were condensed by star-level mutants and are strong enough to hurt the skin of zombie spiders.
Soon the spider began to scream in pain, and its tentacles were completely frozen to the ground by the frost.
