Chapter 28 It's Not A Broken Love
Boom-
The dull thunder came out of the clouds, and in an instant, raindrops as big as beans tilted down and poured heavily on the fish people.
The huge waves slapped violently against the hull of the Snapper under the strong wind. In the violent wind, the tough Snapper was like a leaf, struggling to support it.
"Boss, I can't hold on here anymore! Get ready to dive!" The crew member behind held the cables tightly, and the waves rushing up from the stern of the boat hit him and the people around him again and again.
Seeing the wind and waves getting stronger, Tiger turned his head and asked Ah Long to detect the deep water environment. For the Snapper, the sea is much safer now than on the sea. Instead of taking risks to support it, it is better to dive to avoid the gust of storms first.
Although Dan said that every dive is a kind of damage to the hull of the Snapper, continuing to sail now may even hurt the ship.
Aaron responded and turned to check. The wind around suddenly became much smaller. Just as everyone was surprised, the wind and waves around him miraculously stopped. Even in the distance, the rising sun was still visible in the sky, and it was obvious that it had left the area where the storm was most intense.
At this time, Thalisgao climbed up the mast and looked at the direction of the storm before.
"Boss! There is a ship over there...it seems to be killed in a storm! The mast is broken!" Thales shouted.
Tiger also saw some outlines from afar, because it was not yet bright and I couldn't see clearly.
"I don't know what kind of ship it is, but it must be a warship anyway." Thales shouted.
Aaron had already shown a helpless look at this time. I thought that Boss Tiger would definitely...
"Along, take a few brothers to see what's going on. If there are not many survivors, take them back. If there are too many people, send some repair materials and supplies... Xiaofei, you go too."
Why did Zieg have to go?
It mainly plays the role of "although my companions are ugly, they have a good heart" - although everyone has some knowledge on the great channel, races such as the fishman race are not that rare, but if they see "vicious" fishman, they will still be afraid if they are just ordinary merchant ship crew members.
In case of poor communication, Zigg can communicate with her more friendly Zigg - of course, in front of outsiders, unless you make up your mind to hide your identity, Zigg will retain some fishman characteristics and easily prevent outsiders from knowing that there are "humans" on the ship.
"Ah? I won't go, right? I have some stomachache..." Xiaoba reluctantly covered her stomach and muttered in a low voice.
"Where did you have so many things? Go quickly!" Aaron grabbed Xiaoba and threw it into the sea, then jumped down.
In the end, Aaron, Xiao Ba, Croobi, Chiu, and Zieg, the five of them swam towards the ship of death together.
This is closer to the storm, and the sky is still a little gloomy and stuffy. Fortunately, the waves are much smaller.
Aaron climbed onto the hull with his bare hands, and did not pay attention to his fingers, and cut holes into the outer armor of the ship.
Zigg is much more qualifying. After shouting a few times, he climbed up step by step along the hole that Aaron picked out.
When he arrived on the deck, Zieg found that there was no one everywhere...
Could it be because of the storm just now? But the storm wouldn't have shaken everyone into the sea, right?
The keen observation power brought by the "reasoning student" made Zieg scan twice and he had already judged that the ship was well maintained. Although the ruins and masts on the deck have been broken, it was entirely caused by the storm just now. In some subtle points, it can be seen that the ship's daily maintenance is very good.
"Huh? Where is Xiao Ba?" Aaron looked around and found that there were only four people there including him.
He leaned on the boat gang and looked at it, and found that Xiao Ba was still soaking in the sea, only half of his head was exposed. Seeing Ah Long leaning out to look at him, Xiao Ba raised his head and shouted: "Brother Long, you guys are busy, I'll help you in the sea!"
A tic toe popped out from A Long's head: "Stop talking nonsense! Get up! The boatman may be dead, come up and carry supplies."
Under Aaron's urging, Xiao Ba climbed up reluctantly, and then hurried to the side without saying a word.
"Hey, what are you looking at?" Aaron looked at Zieg who was looking around.
"It's a bit strange. The cables and these tools are all neatly hung in the cabinet... Why does this ship seem to be out of nowhere when it is storm?"
Zieg's "reasoning student" ability made him feel inconsistent when he first got on the boat, and now he is completely confirmed.
"Is it an empty ship that was swept out by the waves in the port? Then the ship is lucky!" Ah Long touched his chin.
The storm just now was not a joke. With luck, the empty ship rushed out all the way?
Hearing the word "empty ship", Xiao Ba was shocked and his teeth trembled, "This, could this be a ghost ship? I... I heard people there talk about the legend of "the ghost ship" on Legut Island!"
Zieg:...
This guy has been absent-minded recently. Is it because of the ghost story of this ghost ship?
"Ghost Ship?" Croobi and Tsubasa looked at each other and then laughed.
"Hahaha, the legend of the ghost ship? Should it be the legend of mermaids? They can sing in the sea, fascinate the young sailors, and then eat them!"
"You actually believe this kind of ghost story that deceives children!"
In the eyes of ordinary people who have no knowledge, the fishman race is already an existence in "story". Some stories are beautiful, while others are cunning.
As a fishman, Xiao Ba actually believed it and was afraid of such a story, which made Ju and Croobi very funny.
"The mermaids don't sing well, the best we sing here is the fishman."
"But it shouldn't be attractive to young men..."
The two of them sang and mocked each other. Xiao Ba couldn't help but feel excited and immediately said annoyed: "Who is afraid? I just mentioned it casually! Even if it's a ghost ship, I want it..."
Before Xiaoba could finish speaking, a hand suddenly patted his shoulder. Xiaoba was so scared that he screamed, and then he realized that the person who patted him was Zieg.
"Don't scare me, really." Xiaoba complained dissatisfied.
Zieg asked in a serious tone: "Xiao Ba, what kind of ship is the legend you heard?"
Xiao Ba was stunned when he heard this, and the others also saw it. Along frowned and walked over: "What are you doing? Humans just like strange stories... Can't you suppress your human blood?"
Zieg shook his head and gestured with his thumb in the direction behind him: "No, I just found something strange."
Several people looked towards the direction facing Zieg - a broken mast was originally lying here. Zieg just moved the mast away, revealing the entrance of the main deck to the cabin below, and the entrance is now locked!
A huge iron gate was locked from the outside, and it was dark inside, so I couldn't see anything clearly.
This iron gate will appear here, which is very inconsistent, and the overall style does not match the boat. Moreover... Even if the iron gate really needs it for safety, it should be locked from the inside, right?
Otherwise, it feels like locking something inside...
And there is no one on the boat, who has the lock on it?
Of course, it is not impossible to say that there were people on the boat, but they fell into the sea after locking the door, but it was just a bit far-fetched!
