Charles lifted the quilt and just got out of bed, there was a piercing tinnitus in his ears, and the overwhelming murmur immediately came up.
This time the situation is much more serious than any one before. Charles even began to have hallucinations before his eyes.
The bodies of the crew began to rot, weird deformed tentacles came out of them, and everyone turned into flesh and blood monsters.
Ignoring the others, Charles hurriedly took out the box given by Elizabeth, took out a large piece of green gel from it, and swallowed it.
The whisper in the ear quickly became smaller, and the appearance of the crew finally returned to normal. Charles stood in the distance, panting with a cold sweat on his face.
Regardless of other people’s concerns, Charles opened his mouth and said: "Notify everyone, the captain’s room is combined."
Soon, the rest of the Narwhal began an emergency meeting in the captain's room.
"Where are we?"
"Uh... it can't be confirmed at the moment. It seems that the Narwhal was shot far away by a huge wave, and the first officer has rich experience, and the ship finally did not turn over."
"How about the crew loss?"
"There are two sailors missing. They should have been caught in the sea. The second wheel tube was stabbed to death by the butterfly's claws. Chef Frey's arm was dislocated."
As soon as the second officer Kenona finished speaking, the chief engineer spoke.
"Captain... the monster's forefoot was inserted directly into the turbine nacelle. Although the hole was filled, the turbine power was damaged, and the Narwhal's speed was only one-fifth of the previous speed."
Bad news one after another, Charles could feel the burden on his body getting heavier.
He took a deep breath and said, "The chief mate adjusted the crew's duty time and filled up the vacant mission. The original mission was cancelled. The ship headed south first. There are the most human islands in the south, and the probability of encounter is greater."
The crew took their orders one after another, and the Narwhal, which had been paralyzed for a long time, finally began to move.
When the crew left, Charles took a sip from below, and the calm captain was gone, his eyes were full of deep fear.
Is that arm bigger than a mountain the giant in the dream? What is he?
He had heard of the gods who came to Dihai before. Whether they were real or not, he had an indifferent attitude. But today, when he really saw the gods, he knew the insignificance of human beings for the first time.
"This place is really the earth? There can be no such big creatures on the earth! Only gravity can crush its body!!"
For a moment, Charles had the idea of selling the boat back to the island for the rest of his life.
But the vague look of the family flashed in his mind, and Charles's eyes slowly strengthened, "My family is still waiting to go home, I can't give up, even God can't stop me!"
Charles lifted up the bottle and took another sip, then put the bottle away, his expression regained apathy and walked outside.
A little bit of time passed. Under Charles's command, the Narwhal finally returned to calm. Although it was not out of danger, the morale of the crew stabilized.
Even some crew members still have spare time to collect those Huang Xue, trying to show off to others.
But about the giant hand extending from the bottom of the sea, everyone did not mention it tacitly, as if that thing was a taboo.
"Mr. Charles, Dip he bullied me!!"
In the cafeteria, Lily the White Mouse ran to Charles who was eating and complained.
"The guy said that if he didn't eat it, he would eat my friend."
Seeing the rat complaint to claim it, Dip raised his head with a stern smile, "Captain, I teased her. Besides, the rat is not delicious."
"Can you not be so naive, now we are not out of danger." Charles finished scolding the captain and looked down at Lily on the ground
"If you have enough food, you can throw a net and fish if you don't have enough food. You don't need to eat your friends."
After hearing Charles say this, Lily felt relieved and rushed back to Dip to confront him.
Although Charles didn't have any tension on his face, he was secretly anxious. The food was enough, but the fresh water was not enough.
If the next footing is not found before the fresh water is used up, the entire boat will be thirst to death.
As if knowing what Charles was thinking, the first mate, who was biting on the bread, approached. "Captain...I can get out of trouble..."
Charles's heart moved, "What way?"
"Sacrifice...As long as three...souls, Futan will guide us..."
There was a trace of disgust on Charles' face, "Forget all these disgusting things."
After the bandage was silent for a while, he looked at the sailors in the distance and said: "The fresh water on the boat can last a month. If you draw a lot of suicide... the living people drink the blood of other people... The last three people can last half a year... …"
Charles turned his head abruptly, his pupils narrowed and looked at the bandage beside him, as if he was the first to know him. This guy is not harmless on the surface.
"Sorry... this is an emergency plan... I encountered this situation before... I ate my captain..."
"Okay!! Eat!" Charles suddenly raised his voice and everyone was shocked~EbookFREE.me~ The next day, the crew found that the amount of fresh water on the Narwhal had begun to be limited, and no one opposed it. , But the crew seemed to realize something, and the smiles on their faces were much less.
The amount of fresh water is getting less day by day, even Charles' wine is taken out and divided.
When everyone could only get a glass of water a day, someone finally couldn't stop, and desperately wanted to jump into the sea, but was stopped by other crew members.
The bandage once again proposed a sacrifice. Just when Charles was a little shaken, a vague white beam of light broke through the darkness in mid-air. It was the light of a beacon.
Standing among the cheering excited crew members, Charles took a heavy breath, his hanging heart finally came down, and the hellish scene finally did not come.
As the Narwhal slowly approached, a strange island appeared in front of everyone. If the other islands are a piece of cake, then this island is an egg.
A hole was broken under the egg, and various steamboats with red flags went in and out.
Because of the loss of position, Charles didn't know the name of this island, and there was no island like this in his memory.
But since it is a human island, it can basically communicate, and the Narwhal followed other ships into the dome.
Inside the egg is a giant city with various Gothic buildings neatly arranged, perhaps because it is more like a cave, and bats often fly over the city.
"Captain sailor, ask if they have a shipyard, and the narwhal needs to change the turbine."
"Good!" Dipp stood on the bow holding two small green flags and gestured quickly.
After a while, Dip ran back and said with a strange expression: "Captain, their semaphore feels very different, I can't understand it."
