Chapter 21 Underwater Corpse
Looking at the pale face, under the influence of water, it slowly deformed, gradually twisted, and gradually sank again. I touched my chest, and my heartbeat exceeded 120 at this time. I cursed inwardly that I still can't participate in this kind of thing in the future, otherwise I would be scared to have a heart attack one day.
Looking at the water gradually returning to calm, I was still in fear. It seemed that the water surface was not as calm as it seemed. Wen Mo still hadn't come up. I shouted Wen Mo's name a few times, but no one responded. I couldn't help but decide to go into the water to take a look. I pulled out my short knife, turned on the flashlight, shook my teeth, and got into the water.
The moment I jumped into the water, I was very nervous. I was afraid that when I opened my eyes, I would see a terrifying scene in front of me. I first stroked my hand a few times. Sure enough, my hand touched something a little soft. I pushed it aside and opened my eyes and looked at it. It was the dead corpse just now. It swayed and sank to the bottom of the ship.
I know that after a person dies in water, at the beginning, since the density of the human body is greater than that of water, the body will sink into the water. However, as time goes by, the human body begins to release animals and corrupt and decompose, so that the density of the human body will decrease, and slowly people will float up again.
From this we can see that this person must have died not long ago. I don’t know if there are any other corpses in the water, and my heart was hanging when I searched.
Under the flashlight, I saw some cargo boxes piled in a corner of the cabin, which looked heavy. The water in the bottom cabin was very turbid, and a lot of rags were floating in the water. For a moment, I didn't find any trace of Wen Mo.
Suddenly, I saw four things on the side of the cabin, as if there were a few big fish hanging, and the light shone not far from the turbid water, so I didn't see it very clearly.
At this time, I had reached the limit of holding my breath. I quickly floated to the water surface, changed my breath, and dived again. This time I swam directly to the row of things, and I slowly approached. When I pushed away a broken hat floating in front of me and shone the flashlight on the things, I was stunned. I was frightened to find that these four things were not big fish at all, but four dead people!
I felt my scalp blowing, my chest tightened, and I couldn't help but relax, and I was choking hard. I tried my best to swim upwards. When I floated to the surface, I gasped and my chest spasm made me cough violently.
Suddenly, when a splash of water beside me, a person floated up. I thought it was another corpse. I was so scared that I was about to scream, but I found that the person who floated up was actually Wen Mo.
Wen Mo patted me, "Are you okay? I just saw you choking in the water, so I came over and see. What's wrong with you?"
While I coughed, I said, "Diet! There are dead people inside. Have you seen them?"
"See, the one floating in the water?"
"Not that," I waved my hands repeatedly, "There are a row of dead people on the side of the cabin! Didn't you see it?"
"What!" Wen Mo was also shocked, "I was checking the goods aside just now, but I didn't pay attention to the side. I'll go down and take a look." As he said that, Wen Mo plunged into the water again.
"Wait for me!" I took a deep breath and sneaked in with him.
We went to the side of the cabin one after another. This time, Wen Mo was next to me. I was no longer alone, and I was a little braver.
The dead bodies, driven by the water, swayed with the waves of water. Looking from a distance, these dead bodies seemed to be dancing a strange dance. This scene was really terrifying and weird.
We swam to the side of the dead body and found a strange phenomenon. These dead bodies were just moving their limbs, while their bodies were tightly fixed to the hull.
We pulled it with our hands, but it couldn't be pulled. We checked the front of these dead bodies again and found that there were no scars and there were no ropes on them. Then I don't understand how these people were fixed to the hull? It can't be glued with glue. And what is the purpose of doing this?
At this time, my breathing time was almost at its limit. I gestured to Wen Mo and began to float upwards. On the water surface, I communicated with Wen Mo, and he didn't know why these people were fixed there.
I originally wanted to suggest that the situation here is unclear, and whether to go back first. After all, everyone here is dead, and if you stay there, you may cause trouble.
But Wen Mo told me that he found some strange supplies in which goods, including satellite communication equipment, guns, and even Feng Shui compass and explosives!
When I heard Wen Mo say this, I feel that this should be a meeting with my fellow travelers. I am afraid that the people on this ship have the same purpose as ours. I heard from Uncle Er that the incident of the sea ruins on the Qin Dynasty this time has alarmed many people, and it seems that this ship is one of them.
If this is the case, we decided to go down and figure it out so that we can be prepared so that we will not be able to take the same path in the future.
We thought that we would pull up a dead body no matter what, and even if we cut it with a knife, we would have to get one to see what was behind us.
After making up our minds, we dived into the water again. Although it was the third time we saw it, the strange "dance" of the dead body in the water still made people shudder.
The body was fixed in the cabin very firmly, so we tried to find one that was easy to start, so we pulled it one by one to see which one was relatively loose. But until we tried the fourth one, it was still almost motionless.
I was a little discouraged and stared at the dead bodies in a daze. Suddenly, I saw the belly of the corpse closest to me. I actually urged it. I was startled and rubbed my eyes quickly. I looked over again, but found that there was nothing abnormal in the belly of the corpse. Could it be that the effect of water lines made me dazzled?
While I was scratching my head, Wenmo patted me and pointed to the hull next to the fourth corpse. I looked in the direction of his finger, but was surprised to find that there was a hole of a bowl size in that place. I used a flashlight to illuminate the wall of the hole, and it seemed that it was completely penetrated. I speculated that it might be caused by an accidental impact in the storm just now. But such a large hole, the ship should have sunk long ago, so how could it float on the sea!
As I was thinking, Wen Mo patted me again, pointed to the corpses, then pointed to the hole, then pointed to the side, and finally gestured with his hand to a five-game.
I was stunned for a moment and instantly understood what he meant. Wen Mo meant that there should have been five dead bodies here, but for some reason one of them floated away. It should be the dead body I saw when I went into the water. The entrance of this cave was the one that fixed the dead bodies.
I think Wen Mo's analysis makes sense, but how do you fix these dead bodies with such a small hole? I couldn't figure it out, so I put my head over and lay in front of the hole and looked out.
What surprised me was that when I looked at it, I found that the sea water outside the cave was neither dark blue nor pitch black, but a light blood red mixed with a little bit of beige.
What's going on? I withdrew my gaze and kept thinking, was the sea water after the storm the color of this color?
Wen Mo asked me with gestures, what did I see? I shrugged and signaled that I didn’t understand, so he asked me to see it by myself.
Wen Mo also lay on the entrance of the cave with some confusion and looked inside carefully. Then he immediately raised his head, frowned as if thinking, and then looked out of the cave again. When he saw it, his face suddenly changed. He suddenly turned around and pulled me, signaling me to run away!
Although I don’t understand why, it must be extremely unusual to make Wen Mo so nervous. I turned around in a hurry and swam in the direction.
And the moment I turned around, I was shocked to see that all the corpses' belly moved, as if something was about to break out of my skin.
I was shocked and swam upwards desperately. When I was about to reach the hatch, I turned my head and looked at it. Through the turbid sea water, I vaguely saw that it was a black thing that crawled out of the belly of the corpses and rushed towards me.
I started to climb to the hatch outside the water in a hurry. Just as my legs were about to come out of water, I suddenly felt one of my legs being held by something, and pulled down with a great force. I screamed and hurriedly grabbed the iron railing at the hatch, barely stalemate with the thing below.
Wen Mo, who went up first, hurriedly ran back when he saw me like this, reached out and pulled me, but didn't pull it. I shouted, "Damn! I was caught by something!"
Without saying a word, Wen Mo picked up the short knife and cut it hard under the water. Soon I felt my legs loose. I didn't dare to be negligent, so I quickly jumped out of the bottom cabin and closed the hatch door vigorously.
We ran onto the deck as fast as possible. We were surprised to find that the second uncle and old Leitou on our ship had already set up the large harpoon launcher, facing us.
I was stunned for a moment and shouted, "Uncle Second! Don't shoot! It's me!"
The second uncle swears loudly: "Nonsense! I know it's you! Come here quickly! There is danger!"
I was wondering why Uncle Second knew there was danger? Has he reached the state of being able to calculate? I was thinking, and suddenly my feet shook violently, and I suddenly felt it, and the ship was sinking at this time.
I immediately panicked, and rushed to the rope connected between the two boats and began to climb back desperately. At this time, the boat was already in the water very seriously. Wen Mo had no time to untie the rope, cut it off with one knife, then assisted with two steps, and stomped the strings. He jumped high from my head and then landed steadily on the deck of our boat.
