Therefore, the captain could not have abandoned the ship and escaped. He could only have disappeared suddenly.
Lan Xiaye asked: "When was the last time you saw the captain?"
"I haven't seen the captain."
"It's Xiaoli, he's the one who always delivers meals to the captain."
Xiao Li said in a panic: "I sent a meal to the captain last night."
"Did you send him outside, or did you see him with your own eyes?"
Xiao Li recalled carefully: "I saw it with my own eyes! I definitely remember it correctly. I even talked to the captain at that time."
The sailors' hearts trembled, and they fell into an eerie silence.
After a while, a tall sailor broke the silence: "Do any of you know how to sail a boat?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you and shook their heads.
At this moment, the ship buzzed and sailed in one direction on its own.
The sailors' faces suddenly turned pale, and their expressions turned pale.
The speed of the ship became very fast, causing a strong sea wind as it traveled, making everyone's hair fly.
"What...what's going on?"
"Quick! Return to the second floor!"
The sailors dropped what they were doing and ran to the second floor.
While the ship was traveling like this, it became bumpy and the hull shook violently.
Lan Xiaye had to hold on to the sofa to maintain balance. Compared to the calmness of the missionaries, the sailors were more panicked, as if the doomsday was coming and they were bound to die. They huddled under the table and held their heads.
This bumping lasted for ten minutes before the ship slowed down.
After the ship was completely stabilized, the woman was the first to walk out, followed by the rest of the missionaries.
There is still an endless sea outside. Except that the color of the sea is darker, it is no different from the previous sea.
"where is this?"
The sailors followed out, and a sailor in charge of the compass went to check the direction, but found that the compass was completely malfunctioning and could not allow them to determine the direction and route.
"It's over, ghost ship...will we be the next batch of missing people?"
"I don't want to die!" Although everyone was ready to die when they came, when the moment actually came, everyone shed tears in fear.
The cold-faced strong man's brows were always furrowed, and he shouted impatiently, "Stop crying. If you have this time to cry, you might as well try to get back."
"We can't go back." There was a dark and thin man with no sadness or joy on his face. He stared straight at the cold-faced strong man: "We will all die, because we are sacrifices, we were sacrificed. .”
"What?" Xiao Li jumped up and looked at the sailor in shock: "You said we were sacrifices? But didn't the captain say..."
"She lied to you." The man interrupted Xiaoli.
The man's dark eyes reflected Xiao Li's anxious face, "Sacrifice?"
Xiao Li murmured to himself and looked at the sea in disbelief. The weather in the inland sea was changing complicatedly. The sky that was originally clear was now covered with dark clouds. The thick clouds blocked the sun. The low clouds seemed to be overthrown in the next second. Down, extremely depressing and dull.
Lan Xiaye took a step forward: "What sacrifice? To whom they want to sacrifice us, please make it clear."
"Of course it is a sacrifice to the gods..." At this moment, the eyes of the thin black man suddenly burst out with unparalleled passion, "The great god, it is the most magnificent and powerful god -"
The other sailors obviously didn't know about this, and when they saw the man's appearance, they backed away from him in horror.
"I don't want to be a sacrifice!" Xiaoli suddenly let out a mournful cry, holding his head in pain, like a helpless little beast.
"Boom——"
Along with a muffled thunder, heavy rain began to fall in the sky.
It rained so fast and so densely that everyone present was soaked in an instant.
They looked up at the surrounding sea in astonishment. The calm sea was particularly ferocious at this time.
The violent storm and huge waves set off, pushing one layer after another.
The huge waves were bigger and higher than the ship, and it was not even possible to completely see the whole wave. Lan Xiaye faced the horror of nature for the first time, and was shocked physically and mentally.
"Run!" She roared out this sentence from her throat. Her hair was completely wet and stuck to her scalp. The rain mixed with the sea water fell from her face to the corners of her mouth. She turned around and rushed towards the stairs, pulling Xiao Li beside her. go.
Xiao Li was pulled back by Lan Xiaye, and then he came back to his senses, bumping behind her, and started running crazily.
The distance that seemed very close to them before seemed to be a hundred meters away at this moment.
The waves fell only for a moment. Lan Xiaye ran towards the stairs with all his strength. The other three missionaries in front of him had already descended the stairs in the blink of an eye.
She felt the strong smell of the sea behind her and the growing strong wind, but she didn't dare to look back at all. She held her breath and rushed into the stairwell, which was not the safest place.
Once a huge wave comes in, the sea water will definitely flood the second floor. The safest place is the room on the ground floor, where the structure is the tightest, and there is no gap even when the door is closed.
Huge waves had hit the ship, and the ship shook violently, causing many sailors to fall down. They fell to the ground in panic, begging the passing missionaries to help them.
Sea water had poured in along the stairwell, and the powerful impact knocked down several sailors on the stairs in an instant, and the water spread to their feet.
Lan Xiaye touched the seawater on her face to prevent it from blocking her sight.
"Help me!" Xiaoli followed closely behind Lan Xiaye. At some point, he also tripped over the sudden seawater. His big eyes were filled with fear and hope.
The strong lack of self-confidence and desire to survive made Lan Xiaye pause in her steps. In just this second, the hull of the boat was hit by huge waves and tilted up and down. The seawater was all under her feet, and she almost fell into the seawater.
At this time, the other three missionaries had completely disappeared. Lan Xiaye closed her eyes, quickly pulled up a small amount of strength, and ran towards the ground floor corridor.
The ship was lurching in the sea. Lan Xiaye ran very hard. When she finally reached the bottom, the sea water had already accumulated a shallow layer of water on this floor. She did not dare to waste any more time and rushed into her room immediately. .
After Xiaoli was pulled by Lan Xiaye, he looked back at the sailors who were unable to stand up due to being washed away by the sea water. He felt cruel and stumbled towards the bottom.
"Xiao Li, save us!"
"Pull us together!"
"I beg you--"
Xiao Li turned a deaf ear to this and ran towards the bottom floor. His immature face was covered with rain and tears. He wiped away the water stains with all his strength, but he did not dare to look back and stop.
After Lan Xiaye arrived in the room safely, she immediately closed the door so that the seawater did not continue to spread in.
She picked up the shallow layer of water on the ground with her hands and threw it into the toilet.
