The Trembling World

Chapter 290: Drifting

Views:

Although some people didn't like to sleep in the same bunk bed and wanted to sleep alone in the guest room on the second floor, Master Liu had to obey his orders, so Han Guangming took people up to the second floor, brought down a large amount of bedding, and spread it in the middle hall. A super large bed was made on the floor.

When everyone set out, they brought eleven sleeping bags from the prison camp. The ground in the middle hall was too cold. It would be much warmer and more comfortable to spread out a big bed and get into the sleeping bags.

Just after the big bed was laid, all the lights in the atrium on the first floor suddenly went out together, and the emergency lights did not come on. The atrium was plunged into pitch black.

Fortunately, the team members have been tested for a long time. Although some people felt frightened after encountering such a thing, no one screamed. Soon a team member turned on the flashlight to provide weak lighting for the central hall.

"I'll take people down to the cabin to see what's going on." Han Guangming came over with a flashlight and asked Liu Qian for instructions.

"Okay, pay attention to safety." Liu Gan agreed to Han Guangming's request.

Han Guangming led two team members who were slightly proficient in electrical circuits to the stern of the ship, went down the stairs, and went to the engine room below. After some inspection, it was confirmed that the air switch had tripped. Lighting was restored.

"What's going on?" Liu Qian asked Han Guangming who returned to the middle hall.

"It tripped. It may be due to some circuit failure. Without understanding the hull circuit, it is not easy to carry out maintenance." Han Guangming answered Liu Qian.

"There is no need for maintenance. Let's arrange for someone to be on duty at night. Everyone else should go to bed. There is a bathroom next to the middle hall and the flushing system is in good condition. You are not allowed to leave the middle hall without special circumstances." Liu Qian looked at the floating water on the porthole. The splashing rain told Han Guangming a few words.

"Okay." Han Guangming arranged the night watch personnel, told the other nine team members not to leave alone, and let them rest in the middle hall while he was on duty for the first shift.

Liu Qian also found a sleeping bag and slept in the middle hall. Naturally, Yinhe sat beside his bed and kept vigil for him. With galactic protection. Liu Qian was not worried about his own safety and fell asleep quickly after getting into his sleeping bag.

After falling asleep, Liu Qian felt as if he had had a strange dream. He dreamed of fighting a group of strange creatures in a strange place. While the fight was in full swing, he suddenly heard a muffled sound, followed by a violent shaking, which suddenly woke him up from his sleep. After Liu Gan sat up, he found that he was still sleeping in his sleeping bag. Although the dream was fake, the shaking was real. It was Serenity that was shaking violently.

"What happened?" Liu Gan got out of his sleeping bag and put on his clothes, then asked Han Guangming who rushed to the porthole.

"I don't know. The muffled sound happened outside the airship. It should be on the pier, right? It seemed like an explosion or something." Han Guangming turned around and said to Liu Qian. He had a tired look on his face. It was obvious that he had been there all along. There is no rest during the night watch.

"The rain has stopped, let's open the main cabin door and go out to take a look." Liu Qian thought for a while and said to Han Guangming, then looked back...

Several team members were also awakened by the muffled noise and shaking. They got out of their sleeping bags and looked around in a daze. There are still several team members who have not woken up and are still asleep.

Soon Liu Qian discovered that something was not right.

The Milky Way is gone.

He recalled for a moment, when he woke up from his sleeping bag just now. It seemed as if Yinhe was not at his bedside. This didn't seem to be her style.

Liu Gan turned on the headset and tried it... After changing his body again. Yinhe also made adjustments to Liu Gan's headset, which can communicate with her new body within a certain range.

It's quiet in the headset.

"Hello! Hello?" Liu Gan shouted a few more times without giving up, but still didn't get any response.

"Master Liu?" Han Guangming asked Liu Gan for instructions. Just now Liu Gan said that he wanted to go to the main cabin door with him.

"Have you seen Mr. He?" Liu Gan asked Han Guangming.

"Just now... before the muffled sound happened... Mr. He seemed to have been sitting beside your bed... After I heard the muffled sound, I ran to the cabin window, and then..." Han Guangming spread his hands and looked at Liu Qian's bed just now with some confusion. place.

"Let's go to the main cabin door and see what's going on with that muffled noise." Liu Qian said nothing more, and he and Han Guangming quickly walked through the corridor towards the main cabin door.

After opening the main cabin door and taking a look outside, Liu Gan couldn't help but gasp.

Outside the main cabin door. Is there any other pier? The rain has stopped, so use your flashlight to shine. Everything you can see clearly is sea water! For some unknown reason, the Serenity, which was anchored at the dock and fixed with dozens of iron chains, floated into the ocean unknowingly after everyone fell asleep!

Although the rain stopped, there was a strong wind outside, and it felt like the airship was drifting toward the vast ocean along the waves blown by the wind.

"It's been raining heavily outside and it stopped just now. I didn't feel that the boat had left the shore..." Han Guangming explained to Liu Qian, almost crying in a hurry. When the airship stopped on the shore, it was swaying with the waves, but it was not violent. If it weren't for the muffled sound and violent shaking just now, Han Guangming, who was on duty at night, would not have paid any attention to it.

"Could we be on a ghost ship?" A faint voice sounded from behind, startling Han Guangming and almost falling from the opened main cabin door. Fortunately, Liu Qian reached out in time to catch him.

"Hey! When did you come here? Can you say hello before you speak?" Han Guangming was very angry and embarrassed and scolded the treadmill who had just come over to talk.

"I thought... I thought you knew I was coming..." Treadmill replied to Han Guangming with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Master Liu, what should we do now?" Han Guangming glared at the treadmill again, and then asked Liu Qian for instructions.

"Find someone among the team members who knows how to operate, and see if we can lower the airship's anchor hook again and fix the hull. Otherwise, we will drift further and further away, and we don't know where we will drift to." Liu Qian thought for a while. Then he answered Han Guangming.

"Okay." After Han Guangming closed the main cabin door again, he and Liu Qian returned to the middle hall and woke everyone up. They asked them about it, but no one was familiar with this kind of airship. operate.

Despite this, Han Guangming still took people to the cabin and wanted to make some attempts.

Liu Qian turned on the headset again and called Yinhe several times, but there was still no response. There was a dead silence in the headset, just like the dead silence after she was blown up by lightning caused by herself in the secret laboratory of Qingtai Mountain last time, which made Liu Qian feel more and more uneasy.
