Chapter 49: Things in the Deep Sea (5)
As if appearing out of nowhere, on the sea of lightning and thunder, a dozen boats were coming directly in front of them.
These ships are basically smaller than the ghost ship they are on, and the smallest is even a lifeboat.
It was obvious that they were drifting at will along the ocean current, but these boats went against the sea and came straight towards them.
Alvia entered the cab, tried the steering wheel inside, and found that it was still usable, so she steered the direction and tried to avoid those ships.
But the storm outside was too strong, and the ghost ship was almost pushed forward by the sea, and it couldn't escape at all.
"Zhou Zhou, take the helm." Alvia said calmly, looking at a group of ships looming not far away.
Zhou Zhou can't sail a boat, can't steer a boat, standing behind Alvia didn't know what to do to help, heard Alvia's voice, looked at the steering wheel he had never touched, Zhou Zhou opened his eyes wide: "INope."
"It's okay, as long as you drive in the current direction." He let go of one hand while talking, looking at Zhou Zhou with very calm eyes.
Zhou Zhou tentatively grasped the steering wheel with both hands, but Alvia let go of the other hand and strode out of the cab: "I'll come back and take over after a minute."
One mast of the brig was snapped off, and the sail on the other was tattered and torn here and there.Alvia braved the wind and rain to retract the sails on the mast, and then immediately returned to the cab.
Zhou Zhou held the steering wheel with both hands, his body was straight, his eyes were fixed on the front, and he looked very serious, but his motionless appearance was more like being fixed together with the steering wheel.
Seeing that Alvia came back from the outside, the serious look immediately broke down, his brows and eyes softened, and he looked at Alvia eagerly: "We are about to hit it."
They found that the time of the opposite ships was too late, or those ships appeared too late, even if they turned around now, it was too late. The opposite was not just a ship, even if it deviated from the original track, it was just a different ship and collided.
Alvia's already dry hair was wet by the storm outside, and strands of black hair were still dripping. He pushed his hair back, revealing his clean forehead, and looked at the ships in front of him with slightly cold and sharp eyes.: "It's okay, even if this ship crashes, we can change another ship."
It was getting closer and closer, and it was obvious that there were people on the opposite boat. In the darkness, many boats had dots of lights. They seemed to be trying their best to avoid colliding with this brig, and most of the boats avoided it.Another ship turned in the same direction as the ghost ship.
In the end, there was a muffled crashing sound from the hull, and Alvia, who had already taken over the steering wheel, remained motionless. On the contrary, Zhou Zhou almost fell, and hurriedly grabbed Alvia's clothes to barely stand still.
"Is the boat broken?" Zhou Zhou couldn't see the hull of the boat, so he could only ask the people around him.
"I don't know, I'll go out and have a look." Now there is no need to worry, most of the ships have already passed by, and the one that collided with this ship was a small ship, and the other party should be worried.
"I'll go too." Seeing that Alvia let go of the steering wheel and didn't care about it, and didn't intend to let him take over, Zhou Zhou immediately followed suit.
The wind and rain outside are very strong, and the health value will decrease after going out. Alvia originally wanted to keep Zhou Zhou here or let him go to the captain's rest cabin, but Zhou Zhou was already thinking about what would happen after the collision, quickly overtook Alvia, looking extremely curious, and Alvia didn't say anything more.
It was the front side of the hull that was hit. Zhou Zhou stood by the side of the boat and looked down against the wind and rain. Above the sea, the hull seemed not damaged except for a lot of scratches.
He stretched his neck to search the sea surface, and finally saw the small boat not far behind. The whole boat was white.It is not far from complete sinking.
"anyone there?"
Zhou Zhou looked at the sea around the ship and shouted.
"There are people, there are people here." A person came out of the tilted cabin and shouted towards Zhou Zhou.Immediately afterwards, another person came out of the cabin, and the two waved their hands while yelling at Zhou Zhou for help.
The HP and the countdown on their heads were only half left. Although neither of them did it intentionally, it was their ship that crashed the other's. Zhou Zhou looked back at Alvia and blinked at him.
After understanding the meaning in Zhou Zhou's eyes, Alvia nodded.
Zhou Zhou immediately ran towards the hull and threw down the rope ladder randomly placed on the deck. The position of the rope ladder just touched the water surface, and the two people immediately jumped into the sea and swam towards this side.
The two climbed up the rope ladder, rolled in from the outside, thanked Zhou Zhou, and sat on the deck to rest.
"It's a good thing you let us come up, otherwise we would die after soaking in the sea for a while." A man said in a rambling voice.
The four of them stood outside in the rain, and they were all drenched. Zhou Zhou put his hands on his forehead: "Let's go in and talk."
"Wait a while, let the rain wash over the sea water on your body before entering, otherwise the thing on the top of your head will keep falling after you go in." The man pointed to the top of his head, and said to Zhou Zhou and Alvia: "You two go in first, don't guard us, the two will be reduced when you stay outside."
Zhou Zhou seemed to want to talk to the two of them, but Alvia went to the captain's lounge. Zhou Zhou looked at the players sitting, then at Al, and hurriedly followed.
Two wet people entered the cabin, and the ground was covered with water marks from their walks. Zhou Zhou stood by the door and wrung the water from his clothes.on the body.
He took off his suit and started to unbutton it again. He wanted to change into another dress.
"Don't take it off." Alvia was already sitting on the stool.
"Ah, but my clothes are all wet."
He glanced at the black shirt that was tightly attached to Zhou Zhou's body, and looked out of the window again: "Are you sure you won't go out tonight?"
Not sure, maybe there will be tasks later, and I will get wet again when I go out.Wearing wet clothes, Zhou Zhou tilted his head and thought for a while: "That's fine."
Since he didn't change his clothes, Zhou Zhou started to wring the water from the clothes again. The suit and shirts that were originally neat and straight were turned into dried pickles by him, looking crumpled.
"Thank you, thank you." The two people outside came in from the captain's rest cabin, and the words of thanks came as soon as the door opened: "Hey? Don't you have lights here? Why are you sitting in this dark?"
As the visitor spoke, he took out a desk lamp. The desk lamp was so bright that it was so bright that it was impossible to look directly at it.
He put the lamp on the table, and then introduced himself to the two: "My name is Wu Yu, and this is my friend Curry. What do you call them?"
Wu Yu has a natural smile, and his age is estimated to be around 30, and his friend has a strong figure. He kept his head down outside and couldn't see his face clearly. Now under the reflection of the desk lamp, he can see that this man namedCurry's man has a square face and a slightly rough appearance. He can only be described as a very ordinary face.
Zhou Zhou stood at the door, still clutching the hem of his clothes that looked like dried plums, stared at the two for a while before saying, "I'm Zhou Zhou."
Alvia also glanced at the two of them: "Al."
"Zhou Zhou, Al, hello, hello, it's fate to be in the same dungeon." Wu Yu said with a smile, and then looked at the stools next to Alvia: "Why don't we sit down and chat."
Alvia lifted his arms lightly and made a simple invitation gesture. Although he looked a little embarrassed now, his demeanor was still elegant.
"Thank you."
Both Wu Yu and Curry sat on the stools, and Zhou Zhou stepped forward and sat next to Alvia.
In the past, small socialites were always very enthusiastic when facing new friends, but this time Zhou Zhou looked at the two of them but did not speak.
The atmosphere didn't freeze at this point, Wu Yu was very good at talking, while talking about their previous experiences, he said thankfully that if Zhou Zhou hadn't allowed them to board the boat, even if the boat didn't sink, they wouldn't be able to do the next task.
"Why can't you finish the next task?" Zhou Zhou didn't speak at first, but gradually, his attention was attracted by Wu Yu.
"The storm outside is so strong, our boat will capsize sooner or later, and maybe other people's boats won't be saved either." Wu Yu was full of joy, then sighed and shook his head, as if he was worried about other people.
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the storm outside instantly became even bigger, and the already swaying boat began to shake even more violently, making it difficult for people to stand still.
"Could it be what I said." Wu Yu hurriedly stood up and looked out the window, and found that he could only see the front, not the back, and sat down resentfully.
Zhou Zhou stood up suddenly, and the other three looked up at him.
"I'll go outside and have a look."
Wu Yu: "Huh? But it's so dark outside, and those boats have long been invisible."
"It's okay." Zhou Zhou walked out, and among the boats that passed by just now, he didn't know if there were Shirley and Keli. The boat they were on was the biggest boat inside, and it was shaking so badly here, so he saidMaybe other ships will be like what Wu Yu said, he still wants to go out and have a look.
As soon as he went out, Zhou Zhou was almost blown away by the strong wind. If Alvia hadn't grabbed his arm in time, he might have been flying in the sky by now.
"Why did you come out?" The waves were so loud that Zhou Zhou could only shout loudly.
Alvia did not speak, but protected him and walked towards the stern. His steps were steady, and he was not affected by the storm. Zhou Zhou was protected and walked forward.When he said it, he was interrupted by Alvia: "Look at your feet."
Zhou Zhou almost slipped on a wooden plank, and the back of his head hit Alvia's body, and he held his arm to stand firm.
The plank seemed to be the one he had brought from the boat before, and it had been on the boat without being blown away by the wind.Not daring to look back, Zhou Zhou could only look towards the stern of the ship. It is true that the ships in the distance could not be seen clearly, but his eyesight was good.Overturned boat on the sea.
And there are still many people swimming here on the sea. Although it is not clear why those boats are going upstream, according to the direction of the ocean current, it is true that swimming towards them will save effort.
"Help?" Alvia was very close to Zhou Zhou, almost behind him, and was very close to his ear when speaking, so she could clearly hear what he was saying without shouting like Zhou Zhou.
Zhou Zhou shrank his neck slightly, and he didn't know why he shrank his neck. He blinked inexplicably before saying, "Help, there might be Shirley and Keli in there."
The previous rope ladder Zhou Zhou didn't bring up, but when they went around there, they found that the rope ladder had already been taken up, and it was left on the deck at will.
Putting down the rope ladder again, Zhou Zhou stood at the stern and looked at the group of people who were struggling to swim this way in the distance. They all had life points and countdown timers above their heads, and even during the swimming process, the data above some people's heads had turned red.That's a sign that it's about to clear.
A wave came, and other people emerged from the sea and continued to swim this way, but those who were cleared disappeared and were eliminated.
"Don't get too close to those two people." Alvia's voice rang in her ears.
"I know."
"how do you know?"
Zhou Zhou turned his head to look at him. Alvia was taller than Zhou Zhou. From this angle, he happened to see his smooth jawline and the rainwater sliding down his cheeks.
"Anyway, I just know." Zhou Zhou, who was honest and a little foolish in the past, lost his temper rarely, and turned his head to stare at the players in the distance.
A group of players with green or red numbers on their heads finally swam to the side of the boat, Zhou Zhou also found Shirley and Keli among this group of people.
He suddenly became happy, and hurried to the rope ladder, watching the players climb up one by one with a good eye.
Only when Shirley and Keli climbed up did they happily call out their names.
Swimming for a long distance in the stormy sea, both of them were very tired. Sitting on the ground panting, Zhou Zhou waved to him weakly.
"Zhou, let's wait a little longer, let's talk later."
Zhou Zhou nodded. After everyone climbed up, he glanced at the sea and made sure that there were no players below, so he put the rope ladder up.
The entire deck was full of players. It seemed that there were quite a few players in this dungeon. These people also seemed to know that clothes soaked in seawater would reduce their health, and they didn't get up until they were soaked in seawater for a long time.
Keli and Shirley did the same, they stood up with Zhou Zhou's support after being drenched for a while.
Perhaps it was because only the captain's rest cabin was illuminated, or maybe Zhou Zhou and Alvia went there with two people, and the players behind followed him to the captain's lounge.
They also know that staying outside in the cold will also reduce their health, and only a small number of people went to the cockpit and the rear cabin.
"Don't go to 105. There is no floor in 105." Zhou Zhou reminded the players who were walking towards the cabin.
Those people turned their heads, looked at Zhou Zhou with some surprises, nodded and continued to walk into the cabin.
The two who had been in the captain's lounge saw that Zhou Zhou had brought a large number of players, but they didn't say anything, after all, they were also latecomers.
The rest cabin is not big. After these players flooded in, the rest cabin was so full that there was no place to sit.
Wu Yu and Curry also stood up to make room for everyone. He greeted everyone with a smile, asked them about their situation, and learned that all the playersโ ships were damaged in the storm, he immediately said comforting words to reassure everyone that it is very safe here.Safety.
Alvia looked at him coldly, but didn't say anything.
And Zhou Zhou didn't listen to what they were saying at all. It was not obvious that the wind and rain were too heavy outside just now, but now in the cabin, even though it was crowded with people inside, the lights were still very bright.The clothes Shirley was wearing were close to her body, revealing her curves. Although the clothes she was wearing were impenetrable even if they got wet, Zhou Zhou still found a loose sweater for her from among the new clothes he bought.
Shirley put the hoodie on top of her own, and pinched Zhou Zhou's face: "Our Zhou Zhou is still caring."
Zhou Zhou smiled at her. In the crowded lounge, he found several girls inside, and immediately squeezed through the crowd to deliver clothes to them.
He bought a lot of sweaters, so the ones he gave to other girls were loose ones that could be worn directly over the head.
These girls were a little surprised, but they politely took Zhou Zhou's clothes and thanked him.
The male player next to him sneered, as if he thought Zhou Zhou was too obsequious, but after Zhou Zhou delivered the clothes, he returned to his companion, not thinking of continuing to strike up a conversation with the girl at all.
"You wear one too." Alvia said to Zhou Zhou who brought back the clothes.
"Ah, but I have to go out later." Zhou Zhou said in a daze.
"Won't go out until the storm dies down."
Now that Shirley and Keli have been found, and the task panel has not released any more information, there is really no need to go out.Zhou Zhou nodded and began to undress.
As a result, as soon as he took off the suit that looked like dried plum vegetables, he was stopped by Alvia who had already guessed what he was going to do."Put a hoodie over your shirt and it's not polite to undress in front of so many people."
But wearing wet clothes was uncomfortable, Zhou Zhou wanted to change again, but looking at Alvia's stern gaze, he still pouted and took out a sweater and put it on.
Keli looked eagerly at the black sweater Shirley was wearing, and asked Zhou Zhou: "Zhou Zhou, do you still have clothes? I want to change one too."
"Why are you joining in the fun? Are you a girl?" Shirley glared at him. These clothes were bought by Zhou Zhou with points, and he might not even be able to exchange them. Now that he gave so many pieces to the female player, she made them herself.The dungeon will definitely be re-purchased for Zhou Zhou, but not necessarily for others, why should they take Zhou Zhou's clothes.
"I'm cold." Keli said aggrievedly.He was originally dressed thinly, but he didn't expect the copy to be at sea, there was a storm, and it was so cold.
Zhou Zhou hurriedly took out another black sweater for Keli, and Keli put it on immediately.
Shirley flipped a Byakugan at Keli, but didn't say anything else.
Zhou Zhou looked down at his black sweater, and found that the sweater he gave Shirley and Keli was also black. Although the styles and patterns on it were different, they were basically the same, while the sweaters of other girls were all kinds ofThere are colors, but no black.
"The three of us are wearing couple outfits." Zhou Zhou said in surprise.He took out the clothes casually, without thinking too much at all, and it turned out that the three of them were of the same color.
Shirley and Keli also looked at each other. Although they were very disgusted with their brother/sister, the three of them really seemed to be together.
The three looked at each other and laughed, and Keli didn't know what was so funny, so he laughed along with the two of them, but when his eyes moved to Alvia, he couldn't laugh all of a sudden.
Alvia, who brushed her hair back from her forehead, had sharp eyebrows, and her sense of coercion was even stronger than before. Her pair of ice-blue eyes were unobstructed, and a glance at each other could turn a person into a popsicle.
Keli shivered, wondering if she was still wearing too thin, it was so cold~
