Mo Xiaoyao thought that the octopus-faced first officer would take the ticket, but the other party just looked at it, scanned it with something similar to a ticket checker, and returned it to her.
The mandarin of the octopus-faced mate said: "Welcome to the doomsday cruise ship, please come aboard, I wish you a pleasant journey."
Mo Xiaoyao fluctuated between proactive inquiries and stranger phobia, and finally boarded the gangway step by step under the silent watch of the octopus-faced first officer. They'd be all right, all three won at the same time, there was no reason she should be on board alone.
The gangway is made of wood, connecting the pier and the cruise ship, and the road under your feet slopes slightly downwards, leading to the first floor of the cruise ship. Every time Mo Xiaoyao took a step, he felt that his body was not the same as before. It was a very subtle change, but it was still noticeable.
Halfway through, Mo Xiaoyao stopped, looked down thoughtfully at his outstretched palms, tentatively clenched his fists, and slammed into the air in front of him continuously.
Her punching speed has become faster. Compared with the soft fists and embroidered legs before, her current state is a bit like she has at least practiced boxing for a long time.
Withdrawing her fist, Mo Xiaoyao tried her leg again, and she easily kicked to a height she had never reached before. For a person like her who does not stretch her tendons or press her legs, this is simply a miracle.
It seems that after going through the dungeon, the physical condition has improved, but it can only be stimulated by walking on this gangway. Mo Xiaoyao squinted his eyes, and suddenly understood why he was the only one who appeared on the pier—this was probably due to separate settlements, and everyone had an independent space to prevent prying eyes on each other.
After thinking about it, the rest of the road is easier to go. Mo Xiaoyao continued to move forward calmly. When she finally left the gangway and stood on the cruise ship, her physical fitness had been fully strengthened, and at the same time, she had more ideas in her mind. A large piece of information.
I'm not in a hurry to sort out the things in my mind, I can't lose them, and it's not suitable to take them out in public. When Mo Xiaoyao turned her head, the gangway behind her was gone, and the cabin door was slowly closing. With the movement of the ship, the pier wrapped in mist gradually disappeared from her vision.
Looking back, the originally empty cruise ship suddenly became lively, and NPC crew members wearing uniforms of different colors could be seen everywhere.
Why can it be seen that they are NPC crew members? Of course it's because they all have an octopus face.
Before Mo Xiaoyao took a closer look at this place, she heard a familiar voice calling her. Following the voice, her heart inexplicably settled down.
It was Leyin and Jiang Yan, standing side by side, waving to her.
A smile crept onto his face automatically, and from the inside out, Mo Xiaoyao ran towards them while pulling on his ill-fitting slippers.
"It's really slow." Jiang Yan said disgustedly, but his expression was not like that, obviously he was very happy that the three of them could meet safely.
Mo Xiaoyao admitted frankly: "Well, I tested something on the road."
Leyin was very excited, the discomfort caused by vomiting just now disappeared, and he was as excited as a golden monkey who got a whole handful of bananas.
"Sister Xiaoyao, let me tell you, I got it—oh! Why are you stepping on me!"
Mo Xiaoyao retracted her feet silently, and looked at Leyin seriously: "Don't say it here, it's best not to say it to anyone, this is not our original world anymore, not all secrets should be shared with friends."
Le Yin was stunned, not quite understanding what Mo Xiaoyao meant, but Jiang Yan patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "You can have a snack."
"No, I said—"
Before Leyin could finish speaking, 5 people who were dressed inappropriately for the NPC crew came towards them. The leader was a middle-aged man with a good figure and appearance. At least he was neither half bald nor had a beer belly. The facial features and expressions don't look greasy either.
Behind him were three men and one woman. There was nothing special about them. They belonged to the type that no one would notice if they were thrown in the crowd. The clothes of the four of them are quite similar, a bit like the kind of formal clothes worn by office workers, which are also unremarkable, and any real estate company can grab a lot of them.
"The three are new here, right?" The middle-aged man walked up to them and stopped. It was the kind of distance that would neither make the other party feel squeezed, nor feel too alienated. It can be seen that he is an experienced negotiator in shopping malls. , You can brush up the favorability of the other party inadvertently, "My surname is Su, Su Wanfu, and the boat is a few days earlier than everyone. If you don't mind, I will act as a tour guide and take you to the lobby to meet the boatmates?"
Leyin looked at Jiang Yan out of intuition, Jiang Yan was thinking without speaking, Mo Xiaoyao... Mo Xiaoyao had a phobia of strangers and refused to speak.
Su Wanfu glanced at it, and immediately concluded that Jiang Yan was the chief of the three, so he invited him again: "Besides you, there are 1,953 people on board, and this cruise ship is rated at 2,500. No one knows how long it will take for the new crew members to arrive, and everyone will gather to exchange information if they have nothing to do, why don't you come and take a look?"
This time, Jiang Yan had a slight smile on his face, and nodded to Su Wanfu: "It's the first time we meet, I'm Jiang Yan. Please ask Mr. Su to lead the way."
He didn't mean to introduce Leyin and Mo Xiaoyao, so Su Wanfu didn't ask, probably because he regarded them as followers like the four behind him, and it didn't matter.
Does the attendant not have a name? In some people's eyes, yes.
Now that someone has done the business of chatting and chatting, Mo Xiaoyao is relieved. She can't walk fast in those slippers, so she wants to give back to Leyin, so that she can feel more comfortable with bare feet.
Leyin scratched her head, thinking that Mo Xiaoyao was being polite to him: "No, you can wear it, I'm not cold, you see, the floor is covered with carpet, it's quite warm."
Mo Xiaoyao silently stretched out both feet from the slippers, stepped on the soft and warm carpet, and said to Leyin very seriously: "I think so too. Besides, your shoes are big, and my feet are small. Don't wear it or don't wear it."
"Oh, oh!" Leyin suddenly realized, and put on his shoes a little embarrassedly, and then felt Mo Xiaoyao touched his arm, looked sideways, and got a very sincere thank you.
"Thank you." Mo Xiaoyao really thanked Leyin. There are really not many good people like him these days. Rare species must be protected. That's why she stopped Leyin from blurting out just now, even though it would be very beneficial to her. .
"Small matter, small matter, Xiaoyao, you are too polite." Le Yin was quite embarrassed, and Gu Zuo said to him, "I didn't take a closer look just now, but the layout of this place is quite nice."
Mo Xiaoyao: ... Except for the hall that was obviously set aside for queuing up and down the boat just now, and there are some decorations, the rest are cabins. What's so good about it
Leyin is quite sad, for the first time in his life, he was given such a doomsday cruise ship. But since he himself doesn't have this awareness, Mo Xiaoyao, as a bystander, can only see through but not tell.
It is a good quality that every survivor should possess.
The layout of the cruise ship is not very complicated, and obviously it does not want passengers to go around the maze with large and small luggage. So soon, under the leadership of Su Wanfu, they boarded the elevator smoothly and went straight to the theater in the third-floor atrium that could accommodate 2,500 people at the same time.
"This cruise ship is similar to an ordinary cruise ship. From the third floor, there are activities, duty-free shops, cafeterias, gyms, etc. You will find a brochure after you return to your room. It’s all about the introduction of the facilities on the cruise ship, so I won’t say much.”
The first time Mo Xiaoyao stepped into the theater, she was attracted by the huge sea chart hanging on the stage curtain. She ignored Su Wanfu's chattering introduction and walked straight over. She was about 3 meters away from the sea chart. He stopped at the place and looked up slightly.
The entire sea chart is about 10 meters long and 8 meters wide. Most of the territory is covered by the familiar fog, and it is hard to see what is there. Its lower left and upper right corners are the only places clearly visible on the chart.
There is a red dot in the upper right corner, next to it is marked [Elysium], which looks like the end of the journey of this doomsday cruise ship.
In the lower left corner is the starting point of the journey. A dot marked "Earth" has gone out and turned into black symbolizing the past.
Behind the earth, there is a red dot that says [Supply Station], and there are 2 more of the same [Supply Station], which are listed at the back with the same distance. And behind the three [Supply Stations], there is a red square with the words [Sightseeing Station], which looks so different.
Between [Earth] and the first [Supply Depot], there is a scaled-down image of a doomsday cruise ship swaying on the chart, and a gray trajectory composed of line segments is pulled out where it passes, which seems to be heading towards The first [supply station] drove away.
Here Su Wanfu has already talked about this sea chart: "... the ship is driven by entering the dungeon, do you know the dungeon? It is said that people will die, so it is better not to enter or not. See the name of the end point. It’s pretty good, but who knows how long it will take us to get there? The sea chart is covered with fog, and it can’t be waved away by hand. It’s better to stay on the boat. There’s food and drink on it, and it doesn’t cost money. It’s enough for us to spend the rest of our lives.”
Jiang Yan looked at the chart, and asked Su Wanfu calmly, "Is what you said everyone's opinion?"
"Yes, everyone has researched it. Instead of entering the dungeon that may not come back, it is better to eat and die on the boat." Su Wanfu turned and pointed outside the theater, "There are four restaurants on this boat, except for the most high-end restaurants. The one you can’t enter, and the rest can be eaten as you like—we’ve been eating here for 5 days, from the first 1,500 people to the current 1,900 people, and we’ve never seen a shortage of food.”
Jiang Yan just smiled and didn't answer the words. If he has not missed it now, does it mean that he will not miss it in the future? What are the supply stations on the chart for? Does it look good
But he won't say that. Some people are like this. When the facts don't hit him and don't see the interests of his own survival, he will be very willing to be blind.
Since he couldn't get anything else useful from them, Jiang Yan wanted to say goodbye. As a former terminally ill patient, his time is precious, every minute and every second.
Even though his body has recovered and he regained his health, he has a lot of time to squander, but he doesn't want to waste it on this kind of person who only knows how to live a boring life.
