The angry passengers went to eat anyway.
They wanted to scold the employees on the ship, and they also had to eat. They planned to wait until they were full before scolding them.
At the restaurant, Huan Xiao did not go to dine. Instead, he caught a ghost employee and asked them why there was a sudden power and food outage.
Hearing this, the ghost employee replied respectfully:
"Guest, this ship was originally snatched by us. Now that the electricity and food on the ship have been used up, there is no need for us to keep this group of humans. But don't worry, the ship will still sail normally and will arrive at the Mermaid in four days. island."
"...Isn't there any human food left?" Huanxiao asked.
The ghost employee nodded sincerely and said:
"Yes, we have thrown the food on the ship into the sea. And, you know, if it weren't for boredom, we wouldn't be so kind to these humans. It's a big deal for them to have raised them for so long. It’s a gift, they should be grateful.”
After saying that, it seemed to remember that Huanxiao would also eat with humans, so its voice weakened and asked:
"... Human food ingredients and fruits are gone, maybe you need to use human flesh?"
"No, that's it."
After knowing the truth, Huanxiao let the ghost employees do their work while she sat on a chair in the restaurant and thought.
After learning that she would have to survive on the ship for thirteen days, she was actually prepared. Even if the ghost staff ran out of food, Huanxiao brought enough food for her to get to Mermaid Island.
But Huan Xiao was a little strange. Why did the ghost employee drive ship No. 4 from the pier to Mermaid Island?
Judging from the way the ghosts looked just now, they clearly didn't care about these three thousand passengers... Could it be that they were just doing it for fun?
...Suddenly, Huan Xiao's mind instantly recalled the different creature in the cabin more than ten meters below.
He is not dead yet, but has been injected with a lot of ghostly energy by the ghosts, making him a terrifying-looking No. 0.
Recalling the appearance of No. 0 again, Huanxiao still couldn't help but feel his scalp numb, as if there were countless ants crawling all over his body.
The terrifying dense patterns and the huge, boneless snake tail look extremely scary. If it hadn't been locked up in a large glass fish tank, Huan Xiao would not have wanted to be in the same place as it.
Could it be that...the purpose of these ghosts is Zero?
Seeing how much they care about Zero, they probably went to Mermaid Island just for Zero...
"Xiaohuan, let me tell you, today's food is terrible and tastes weird. Do you think they really don't care whether we live or die?"
At this time, three people who often played with Huan Xiao came over.
They sat next to Huanxiao and told each other how hard it was to eat today's food.
Finally, the girl with long black hair made three suggestions to Huanxiao and the others:
"I think there is something wrong with this ship. Maybe no one will give us food in the next four days. Let's go to the supermarket and buy everything we can eat now!"
She was calm and it was indeed a wise decision to do so now.
"But there's no power, maybe we can't swipe the card?" another girl asked.
The girl with long black hair stood up and said to them:
"Let's go and give it a try. We can't just sit here and guess. At worst, we can get the credit later. After all, it's their problem this time, so they should make it easier for us."
"...That makes sense, let's go now! However, if there is a shortage of food, the crew will not sell it to us. If I were a crew member, I would save the food myself and eat it. I would definitely not sell it."
"If they don't sell it, we'll rob it! I'm here to travel, not to experience survival on a boat!"
Together, the four of them felt that they should go to the supermarket to buy food first, so they set off.
On the way, because the sky was dim and there were no lights on the ship, the ship that used to look luxurious and lively now looked quite deserted.
Huanxiao and the others met many people coming out, and it seemed that they were also planning to go to the supermarket to buy food.
However, when Huanxiao and the others finally arrived at the supermarket, they were told that the expired food had been disposed of and the remaining food had been sold out just now.
"……how come?"
"Then what shall we eat? You have to give us an explanation!"
"How about we go fishing and eat fish for a few days."
"Eat the damn fish. Who likes to eat fish? I'm here to play! I've never suffered hardship since I was a child. How dare you, a lousy travel company, make me suffer? I'll tell my dad when I get back. Report you until you go bankrupt!”
"Don't stop me, see if I don't kill them!"
"Look for it. There must be food hidden by them. There was a lot of it yesterday."
But I saw the ghost employee standing at the checkout counter with a kind smile on his face and said:
"Guests, I'm very sorry, but the food is really sold out. Maybe you need something else?"
"Are you a liar? Hand over the food!"
Several passengers were still clamoring, not intending to let the ghost employee go.
Seeing them like this, the ghost employee’s smile turned weird and said:
"You want food, but there are other alternatives."
"……What?"
Passengers who wanted to cause trouble froze in place, thinking that the employees were finally willing to take out the hidden food.
Suddenly, the ghost employee took out a box from the side with a smile and pushed it in front of the passenger:
"Perhaps you would like to eat this food to satisfy your hunger?"
The person standing at the front frowned and opened the box while saying:
"What's in there? You're not trying to use garbage to get around..."
He saw the contents of the box.
It's a beating heart and a few intact pieces of flesh.
"It's...pork, right?"
The man who opened the box hesitated to speak.
The ghost employee grinned:
"Yes, it's pork."
Its mouth was split to the base of its ears, and it couldn't be called human anymore.
The crowd was quiet for a moment.
Afterwards, everyone screamed from their throats!
"Ahhh! Ghost!"
"Run away! It's not a human! Run away!"
Due to the crowd, Huan Xiao, who was at the back, was dragged out by the crowd.
After Huanxiao escaped from the crowd, she found that the three girls who came with her were gone. It seemed that they should have followed the others and ran away.
There were shouts of excitement from all over the ship, and the ship, which had only about a thousand people left, became lively again.
The ghosts no longer tried to cover up, they tore off the human skin on their bodies, revealing their true appearance.
At this time, everyone on the ship remembered what had happened these nights.
The ghostly aura on the ship is so strong that it seems to want to devour all the living people on the ship...
