Chapter 127 - Endless Seas 02 (2/2)
The group heard this and their expressions became hard.
Old Mo carefully a.n.a.lyzed. “Typhoons can be big or small. A big cruise s.h.i.+p like this can smoothly resist small typhoons. However, if it is one with strong winds then the cruise s.h.i.+p might be blown over. There was a cruise s.h.i.+p in the real world that capsized due to strong winds and thunderstorms. The s.h.i.+p had more than 400 pa.s.sengers and only a dozen survived…”
Everyone had heard of this s.h.i.+pwreck. Now that Old Mo mentioned it, they were all frightened.
If they really encountered a typhoon at sea that resulted in a capsized s.h.i.+p, everyone waiting on board such a large cruise s.h.i.+p could only wait to drown. They had to abandon the s.h.i.+p as soon as possible to escape but if the inflatable escape boats were too light and too slow, they were likely to be swept into the vortex of the typhoon and sink to the bottom of the sea. It would be better to grab a faster electric escape boat.
Yu Hanjiang quickly calmed down. “If the cruise s.h.i.+p collapses, we will act according to the original plan. Liu Qiao will immediately fly to the stern to grab an electric escape boat. We will abandon the s.h.i.+p and escape.”
Xiao Lou added, “If we abandon the s.h.i.+p then we are likely to drift at sea for several days. We also need to prepare supplies in advance.”
Yu Hanjiang ordered, “Go to the supermarket on the 7th floor to buy mineral water and biscuits in advance. Put them in a good carry bag and try to keep things as simple as possible. I will put Old Mo in charge of this.”
Mo Xuemin nodded. “Rest a.s.sured, I have a number in mind regarding how many things eight people need.”
Everyone finished breakfast and collectively came to the 7th floor. Old Mo took Liu Qiao and Qu Wanyue to go shopping while the others stood on the deck, watching the scenery and pa.s.sengers.
Today’s weather was very good. There were clear skies so the deck and play centre on the 7th floor were crowded with people.
Some people spent money to experience the sea parachute, glider and aerial observation events. From time to time, there were the excited screams of children around them. Xiao Lou didn’t want to partic.i.p.ate in these exciting games so he stood there quietly and watched.
Just then, a small child cried out. “Mom, my stomach is hurting.” The woman took the child to the bathroom.
Immediately after, another girl said, “I’m going to the bathroom.”
Gradually, more and more people ran to the bathroom and lined up at the door, complaining, “Did we get a bad stomach from the food?” “How come so many people have bad stomachs? Is the food on board not clean?”
Xiao Lou was stunned. The free restaurant.
For today’s breakfast, many people went to the free restaurant to eat. Shao Qingge took them to a luxury location where they spent 1,000 yuan on dumplings and fried breadsticks. At present, their stomachs were normal. However, the pa.s.sengers who ate in the free restaurant seemed affected by the ‘unclean’ food and everyone had diarrhea.
The complaints grew louder and louder. A hot-tempered man grabbed the collar of a crew member and directly said, “Tell your captain to come! There must be a problem with the food on board or how can we all have diarrhea?”
“Did you make moldy and rotten things for us to eat? We’re going to complain! Refund our tickets!”
“The ocean cruise service is getting worse and worse! How can we spend these seven days if we can’t eat clean food?”
The travellers gathered together and almost tore at the crew.
Seeing that things weren’t going to end, the pale crew member called the captain and said that many pa.s.sengers had a bad stomach and there were long lines at the toilets. The captain was aware of the seriousness of the problem and hurried over.
The captain was 50 years old with white hair and a good temper. He held a loudspeaker and explained to everyone, “Please don’t be agitated! We are immediately investigating if there is a food problem. If any expired, moldy or rotten food is found on board, we will deal with it immediately and compensate you accordingly!”
“Please trust our ocean cruise company. We will give you a satisfactory answer! Anyone with a serious illness can go and find Dr Zhang on the first floor. The medicine for diarrhea will be provided for free!”
The a.s.surance of the old captain gradually calmed down the mood of the pa.s.sengers.
Old Mo, Liu Qiao and Qu Wanyue came back at this time with food.
He put the food in three bags and were carrying them on his back. Old Mo walked to Yu Hanjiang’s side and whispered, “A problem with the food is one of the usual tactics for the Spades room. There is likely to be something wrong with the s.h.i.+p’s food supply. From now on, we will try not to go to the restaurants for dinner and will eat the vacuum packaged food from the shopping mall.”
Xiao Lou felt helpless. “It feels like we are back in 3 of Spades. It seems we will have to reserve more food.”
“Don’t worry, I bought high-calorie compressed biscuits and fruit juice concentrates with lots of vitamins. In addition, there is mineral water.” Old Mo smiled. “If we eat a bag of biscuits then we won’t be hungry all day. The three bags are enough for us to last seven days.”
Xiao Lou gave him a thumbs up. “Old Mo has experience. Compression biscuits are much more convenient than instant noodles.”
Shao Qingge’s eyes squinted. “The free cafeteria truly had a problem. Thankfully, I took everyone to eat very expensive food in the morning or our stomachs would also be hurting.”
He had just finished speaking when Xie Qi’s expression suddenly changed. “f.u.c.k, my stomach is hurting! Is this a trick?”
Long Sen followed. “No… my stomach is also hurting!”
Yu Hanjiang’s face was heavy. He didn’t speak and directly turned to find the toilet.
Xiao Lou smiled bitterly at Shao Qingge. This person originally wanted to boast but as a result, he couldn’t boast.
Shao Qingge’s face instantly became as black as the bottom of a pot. “I spent so much money and as a result, the food of the Chinese restaurant also has a problem? Our stomach only reacted 10 minutes after the free cafeteria? A of Spades is too much!”
Old Mo laughed. “You spent money to buy a lesson. I will first go line up…”
Shao Qingge felt a pain from his stomach and had to go to the bathroom with a dark face. He would never spend any more money.
Eating a free breakfast would cause stomach pains and eating a 100,000 gold coins breakfast also caused stomach pains. What was this world? This 100,000 gold coins was simply paying an IQ tax to the Keeper of Spades!
