Si Lei looked forward, "...can't think like that."
Just as Rico was about to say something, Hesta suddenly stopped. Rico also immediately looked sideways, looking in the same direction as Hesta.
Soon, the sound hidden behind the cabinet door not far away reached Si Lei's ears.
A hand slowly stretched out from the gap in the cabinet door, and then a person rolled down.
"Officer Si Lei...? Is that you?"
Si Lei was stunned for a moment: "Gustav?"
The person in front of him raised his head. One of his eyes was bleeding, and the other eye was tightly closed. His hands and feet were bound. Hesta stepped forward to loosen his bonds.
"Why are you here alone?" Hesta asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Gustave choked up and talked about the reason - it turned out that Fayance took him and Jacqueline to the second floor, and then Jacqueline left for the upper deck, while Fayonce took him and hurriedly hid. During the process, a crew member passed by, and he tried to call for help, but failed. It was not until Fiance went out to make a phone call and did not come back for a long time that he found an opening to escape.
"Then you hid here?" Hesta was confused. "Since you can move, why don't you go up and find the main force?"
"I saw people in biohazard suits..." Gustav said tremblingly, "I saw them...disposing of body bags."
"when?"
"I don't know...this morning anyway."
Hesta and Rico realized almost at the same time that they should be the passengers who died during the security check in the morning. These people who still chose to stay in the restaurant until their death were basically die-hard followers who decided to follow Fayance.
"Then what?"
"I was so scared that I crawled towards the stairwell with all my strength. I accidentally rolled down from behind and hit my left eye..."
"Can you leave now?"
"Okay," Gustav reluctantly opened his right eye, "but my other eye can't see clearly now..."
None of them spoke - when one eyeball is seriously injured, if there is no treatment, there is a high probability that the other eyeball will also be infected... But now there is no medical care on the ship that can handle such wounds.
"Send him to Jacqueline." Hesta looked at the two people beside him, "It's too dangerous to follow us."
"No! No!" Gustave immediately fell to his knees on the ground, "Please, don't throw me anywhere else, let me follow you, just let me follow you!"
"It's not throwing it away, it's just that there is a safer place on this ship -"
"Even if it is safe for Jacqueline, it may not be safe for me!" Gustave hugged Rico's thigh again, "I will never cause you any trouble——"
Hesta and the others did not speak. To a certain extent, Gustav was right. There was probably no corner on this ship that was safe for him.
"You have seen our situation," Li Ge said solemnly, "We are all injured and disabled. You can follow us, but if you encounter any accident, I have no power to protect you."
"It doesn't matter!" Gustave replied immediately, "Just let me follow you!"
Rico glanced in Hesta's direction, but Hesta had no objection.
"Let's go."
…
In the corridor of the special care ward, a tall figure stepped from the entrance.
His leather shoes made a steady clicking sound in the deep corridor. Every time he passed a ward, he stopped to check the name tag on the ward, and finally stopped in front of Agnes' door.
There was a knock on the door in the corridor.
The lights in the ward came on, and Meyer's voice sounded a little wary, "Who is it?"
"it's me."
With a brisk trot, the door to the ward opened quickly. Meyer looked up at the person in front of her with surprise in her eyes. Behind her, Agnes, who was awakened by the knock on the door, also opened her eyes wide and looked this way. Look over.
"Mr. Gobelin!"
Gobelin gently touched Meyer's head and asked, "Are you okay?"
Meyer almost became choked up immediately. She wanted to say that her sister was not well, but she was already crying.
Gobelin put his hand on Meyer's shoulder naturally and walked with her to Agnes' bed.
"Mr. Gobelin..."
"Don't get up, I just came to check on your condition." Gobelin said softly, "How do you feel?"
"Anyway..." Agnes smiled self-deprecatingly. No matter what, the bullet's penetrating wound could not be cured without a few months or even half a year's rest. However, when she carefully turned her head and neck, the familiar tearing pain did not appear.
She raised her hand with some confusion. It wasn't until her arm was raised to an angle that was almost perpendicular to her body that she felt a familiar pain.
"It seems to be recovering well." Gobelin whispered.
"No...impossible...I..." Agnes held up her arms and tried to sit up, but as soon as she tried hard, she immediately felt pain and fell down on the bed.
"Don't move, you haven't fully recovered yet." Gobelin looked at Meyer, "Go push a wheelchair for your sister, okay?"
"Okay..." Meyer responded, but still stood there without moving. "Where are you going to push the wheelchair now?"
"Go to Bishop's Restaurant." Gobelin said softly. "The rescue team is coming. All of us can leave the ship tonight."
Meyer opened his eyes wide: "...Really!"
"Of course, go ahead."
Meyer immediately left the ward and went to the corridor to retrieve the wheelchair they came from. Agnes watched her leave with a complicated expression, and then whispered:
"Mr. Gobelin, I have something to confess to you."
"Um."
"... Bree is dead." Agnes's voice was very low, "I killed him... tonight."
"Um."
Agnes raised her head, and there was no trace of surprise on Gobelin's face.
"...Don't you blame me? Don't you ask me why?"
"Of course you have your reasons," Gobelin's expression remained unchanged. He also looked at Agnes, "The Shengming was in a special situation during this period. It was almost a lawless desert island. No matter what happened, , are all excusable.”
Tears suddenly welled up in Agnes's eyes, "Thank you, I -"
"What's more, Bree is not dead either." Gobelin said softly.
Agnes's face froze almost instantly.
"Some of us were injured...but fortunately, at least at the end of this voyage, all of us will be alive, which is the most important thing."
"What……?"
"Get ready, we will go up together in a moment," Gobelin stood up, "I will go next door to see Helen first."
…
In the lounge, the crew prepared comfortable and fitting sneakers for Tasia to replace her high-heeled shoes that had a broken heel.
Tasia sat back on the chair like a zombie, and the crew leaned over to change her shoes.
"We're going to change trains soon, aren't you happy?"
Tasia's eyes moved slightly, "What's the alternative..."
"The rescue team is coming," the crew member replied with a smile. "You will be back on land with your friends soon."
