I was a little surprised because I always thought that they would still board the ship from the shore like yesterday, but I didn't know that they had been waiting on the ship a long time ago.
Seeing that those people were almost there, Lian Dao really didn't wait any longer, and left the watch place with me and headed to the bank of the Yellow River. When we reached the river, we found that the boat had stopped. I didn't see any figures shaking on the boat, let alone heard any noise, I couldn't help wondering what those people were doing at the moment.
Even Daozhen didn't need to be curious about this. He stood by the river, concentrating for a long time, then let out a sigh of relief and said, "There is no one on board."
"So fast!" I was a little surprised.
Ren Dao nodded and said, "Perhaps it is because they are too prepared, but... it is indeed a little faster."
I always think Lien Daozhen’s words are a bit weird, but I didn’t think much about it. I just looked at the boat far away from the shore and asked: "How do we get there?"
Without saying anything, Lien Daozhen stretched out his hand to pull me, jumped up, and jumped directly into the river. I was so scared that I almost screamed, just about to yell: "I can't swim!"
Then I discovered that there was a black gleam around us, and the water was floating around us, but it could not penetrate in. Lian Daozhen glanced at me, saw my mouth open, and asked, "What do you want to say?"
I coughed twice and said: "You are too fast, don't scare the little fish in the river, take care of the little animals..."
Lien Dao is really protected by black light, our clothes do not touch the water, and we move forward automatically as if we have a boat underneath.
The Yellow River water, the waves beat the waves, and the waves are stronger than the waves. It's just that no matter how strong the waves are, they can't penetrate the thin layer of black light. I saw a few big fish swimming by. They seemed to be curious about the black light, but after a few touches, they swam away with their tails. That kind of wonderful feeling made me feel like a child with an innocent heart, and I couldn't help but want to laugh.
However, before I could enjoy the feeling, Ren Dao really lifted me out of the water. I stood firm, and then noticed that we were actually on the boat. I was surprised and quickly looked around. Although Lian Dao really said that there was no one in the boat, I still felt worried, for fear that someone would suddenly pop out of the water.
Ren Dao was really calmer than me. He glanced around, then suddenly turned around and stroked his hand on the side of the ship. There were lights in the cabin, and by that light, I saw that the iron plates on the ship's gunwale were a little twisted, and the boards on the outermost edges were rotten. Such places are almost everywhere. It looks like a broken ship.
Ren Daozhen turned around and got into the cabin. I saw him walking in a hurry, and quickly followed, and then I saw him standing there frowning, motionless.
There was still a dim light in the cabin, and the place Lian Daozhen looked at was a square table. There was a map-like thing on it, two pencils pressed on it, and by the light, I saw several arrows drawn on the map, which seemed to represent different directions.
I don't quite understand why Lien Daozhen came to this boat, and why he stood here frowning, because I really couldn't see anything strange. So, I can only ask him: "What's wrong with you?"
Lien Daozhen raised his hand, pointed to the ground, and said, "Look at that."
I looked in the direction of his fingers and saw a few clothes piled on the ground. The dress looked like a bulletproof vest in the movie, but there was something hanging on it. I walked two steps closer and took a closer look. I was shocked, because the thing hanging on it turned out to be something similar to a grenade. There are four or five pieces of such clothes on the ground, scattered in a mess.
Although it's dangerous to hang grenades on your clothes, it's not a weird thing, right
However, Lien Daozhen pointed to another place and said, "Look at that again."
I followed his hand again and saw that there was the door of the cabin. The door was pieced together with wooden boards, not thick, and it seemed very weak. I saw that the edges of the bottom and middle door panels were rotten, as if they had been smashed with a wooden stick. But what's so strange about this
Shouldn't it be like this for a broken ship
Lien Daozhen finally pointed to a place and said, "Look there again."
I had the patience to look at it. There was a flat instrument with a display on the floor. I couldn't help but asked him, "What are you trying to say?"
Lien Daozhen said, "You come closer and look at it."
He was strange in ancient times and made me feel a little hairy, so I had to walk over. The instrument was still on, and the top row of small lights flickered randomly, and I couldn't understand what it meant. Although I was about to lose my patience, I knew that Ren Dao really wouldn't do meaningless things, so I forced myself to look carefully.
Looking at it, it really made me see something wrong.
Although the instrument appeared to be on the ground, its screen was cracked. I sighed and couldn't help but squat down to pick it up. Then I saw a metal-like shell with traces of being dropped. Looking at the floor, there were indeed a few grooves nearby and scattered wood chips.
I took the instrument and looked back to ask Lien Daozhen, but unexpectedly found that his face was solemn. I was taken aback by his expression and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Presumably you can see something wrong, but there is one thing you probably haven't noticed yet." Lian Daozhen said with a serious expression.
I was a little uneasy, because his expression was so weird, I asked: "What did I not find out?"
Lian Dao really looked at the instrument in my hand and said in a deep voice, "There is a smell of blood here, it's very new."
I was so frightened by his words that I almost threw out what was in my hand.
"Don't scare me, what is the smell of blood?"
Lian Daozhen said solemnly: "When I explored with the power of water before, I found that there was a strange aura that flashed away. That aura came quickly and faded quickly, so I came here first. On the ship. Look at the scattered clothes on the ground, weapons on them, and broken instruments. With the fresh cracks on the door and the ship's side, don’t you think it’s weird.”
I was stunned, but I saw the crack, but I couldn't distinguish the old from the new. I thought it was a broken ship, and it was normal for it to have cracks. But Lian Daozhen said that this was just happening. Moreover, the bloody smell in his mouth...
I tried to blow my nose a few times, but I didn't smell anything. Lian Daozhen said to himself: "They walked too fast. There is a boat, but they didn't even make any movement here."
"Maybe it's too anxious," I said.
"Impossible!" Lian Dao really said categorically, "They are very cautious and will never leave so many tails. If the weapons hung on their clothes are taken away, it will cause a lot of trouble. Based on the personality of those people. How could you leave yourself with this kind of trouble. What's more, the instrument in your hand was obviously broken just now, would they be so careless? Plus the cracks that appeared everywhere on the door panel and the ship..."
"Don't you want to tell me that they didn't jump into the Yellow River by themselves, but were caught by something..."
"It should be." Lian Dao really shattered my fluke mentality.
I suddenly felt horrified. The dim lights in the cabin didn't give me warmth and light at the moment, but made me feel that there are cannibals hidden around me.
Lian Dao really looked at that strange place, his face was very solemn and said: "They came prepared, ordinary things can never be opponents. But you can see the traces on the boat, they are obviously not responding. Or they were forcibly taken away when there was no time to resist. The smell of blood on the ship was left on the door panel and gunwale by their body collision!"
I felt my teeth trembling, looked around nervously, and said, "Then, what would it be..."
Even Daozhen shook his head and said, "I don't know. I can't feel any strange aura here, but it is because of this that things are so strange. Such a big ship, not to mention hundreds of people, can at least pretend to be scared. Ten people. Also, they are obviously armed, but do you hear gunshots or explosions?"
I shook my head, saying that I didn't hear it. But as even Daozhen said, there is no sound, which is the most terrifying. So many people, but don't even have a chance to shoot
What is it that made such a whole boat of people disappear silently on the Yellow River
Suddenly I thought of Er Bo and Zhao Qiming...
The two of them encountered accidents in Taiqian County. Originally, I thought I was already vigilant enough. But I didn't expect that we would encounter such an incomprehensible strange thing before entering Chi Youzhong.
A whole ship of people, from the high ground where Lien Daozhen and I left, came to the shore, but within a few minutes, they disappeared without a trace in such a short time.
What happened in those few minutes? (End of this chapter)
