Chapter 135 - I’ll kill you！ (2/2)

She is struggling to get up. A few men’s obscene laughters are coming from behind before the door is closed.

By the light of the moment before the door is closed, I can vaguely see Phoenix’s face is cold and her clothes are a little tattered.

She is walking slowly to the corner of the wall and sitting down silently. Her head is burying in her hands and knees.

She is so close to me. I look at her for a moment before I open my mouth: “Phoenix, is that you?”

“It’s me.” She’s looking up. In the darkness, she seems to be facing me, but I can’t see her face: “You are Little 5. I recognized you for a long time when you came in and sat next to me.”

Her voice is calm and there is an unspeakable despair in it.

I’m silent for a moment: “You… Are you all right?”

“I’m all right!” Suddenly, she’s laughing nervously, “What thing may happen on me?”

After a break, I hesitate to ask: “They just took you out…”

Immediately, she’s saying coldly: “Do you still need to ask?” She is laughing louder and louder, and then she is saying to me in cold words, “So many beasts have caught a woman. Guess what they have done to me?”

I’m silent.

She takes a deep breath, and although her voice is crying, but she is still laughing like mad. The crying and the laughing are mixed up. At the same time, she’s shouting crazily: “What am I afraid of? I did that before! Do I afraid of such a thing? I used to be fucked! But this time is free of charge! What am I afraid of? I… What am I afraid of?!”

The more she says, the more she cries, and finally she buries her head deep under her knees.

I feel her body is trembling.

Frankly speaking, I don’t like this woman, or even hate her very much. I don’t have much pity and sympathy for her, but now I have a strange feeling in my heart, very strange feeling. I am looking at her and feel she’s really pathetic, not pity or sympathy.

I just simply feel that she is very pathetic!

After crying for a while, she is suddenly wiping away her tears, turning around and whispering to me: “Little 5… You…”

“What?” I answer calmly.

“Do you have water?” In the darkness, her voice is trembling, “I’m in pain… I want to wash it.”

Without hesitation, I slowly take out a bottle of water from my bag and pass it to her silently, then turn around and stop looking at her.

I know very well that water is very valuable in this situation. Because I don’t know how long I’m going to stay here!

But I still do not refuse Phoenix’s request.

I don’t know how long it took for her to open her mouth behind me and says: “Thank you.”

Her voice has restored calm without waves, as if nothing has happened before.

We are both sitting in the corner, but neither of us speak nor talk anymore.

It’s a strange atmosphere.

In such a desperate situation, we know and familiar with each other, but we do not talk, do not communicate, but choose to remain silent.

But I know it very well. Each time the door opens. Phoenix begins to tremble. She seems very frightened, and then she is shrinking inside desperately.

Later, however, no one from outside comes in to look for her. Every time, they just deliver foods and waters.

I can’t tell the time, but I just feel it’s getting colder and colder. Phoenix is still coughing, harder and harder every day.

But there’s an acquaintance around. It’s still good. I finally have time to sleep. When I am sleeping, she will be awake. Although we don’t speak, but we make a tacit distinction between different breaks, so that we can avoid the attack from those bastards in the cabin when we are sleeping.

Bang!

I wake up in my sleep, feeling that the ship is rocking violently and there are a lot of the alarms around. Then I hear the door of the cabin being kicked open with a bang, and several crew members are rushing in with the guns and shouting a few words. Then I see the people in the cabin are running out, but then I hear a few gunshots, and the crowds are screaming in fear.

Several crew members are kicking us away. I pull Phoenix to get up, feel her hands are very cold, and then we are squeezing out in the crowd.

As soon as we go out, I feel a shiver. It’s cold and windy outside. But there’s a vast sea around us, and I can not see the land at all.

We are driven to the bow and the crew members on deck are all busy. The black man, with a fierce and impatient face, directing the crews to drive us to the side of the ship.

At that time, with a “Bang”, a few metres to the left of the ship, a wave is bursting out on the sea. I can clearly hear that it is a cannon thunder!

Immediately, I’m looking back and see a ship in the distance on the sea horizon. The outline of the ship is faintly visible, with the national flag flying on it and there are the shrill whistles.

The crew members have surrounded us. I’m shouting to them: “What’s the matter? What’s the matter?!”

Phoenix is frightened and trembling. By this time, the black man is standing not far from me, pointing to the people in front of the crowd, and then signifying something.

I see… He is forceing us to jump into the sea!

The man in front clearly understands what he meant too, but who dare to jump into the sea?

The black man does not hesitate to shoot him on the head!

Bang!

A blood arrow is shooting from that man’s head and he is falling straight into the sea.

The crowds immediately seem like a frightened flock of sheep, are all snarled up!

The crew members are shooting and have killed two more people, but the crowds are chaotic, and they seem to be somewhat uncontrollable. I immediately pull Phoenix turn to the back of the deck and run. I can hear the gunfires behind us. We meet a crew face to face. I immediately punch him on the face to knock him down, and pick up his gun. Then I see a life buoy hanging on the wall, I grab it and put it around Phoenix’s neck.

The crowds behind have begun to shout less, gunfires are intense, and fewer and fewer people are shouting. Phoenix and I are hiding behind a barrel and watching the guys killing the stowaways. Their bodies are thrown to the sea.

I know what I have to do now!

I clench my teeth and push Phoenix to the side of the ship. I say to her quickly: “Let’s all listen to our fate!” Then I push her out of the deck. She’s crying and falling into the sea.

There’s that much I can do, and I don’t know whether she can survive. At least I have given her the only lifebuoy!

The deck is still noisy, but when the two of us appear, we are immediately been seen. I hear the gunshots are ringing around me. I immediately fall over and pull the trigger. The bullets of my gun are blindly shooting.

Then I turn over, bend down to go to the other side. My goal is very clear!

I see the black man is standing side by side with two crew members!

All of a sudden, I’m rushing over, hugging the black man in one hand, and then in the crowd’s sceaming, we are both falling into the sea.

With a splash, seawater is splashing around me. The sea is squeezing me in all directions, cold and piercing!

The black man is struggling from the beginning, but the moment I hold him in my arms, I have reached for the dagger in his waist and pulling it out quickly. I twist his waist and shoulder behind him. He’s struggling hard in the seawater. I know my swimming skill is worse than him. So, for the first moment, I have given him a sharp cut on the neck.

No sound. In the sea, my ears are flooded, and I can hear nothing at all.

I loosen him, then a little away, I clearly see a stream of blood is coming out of his neck and dyed red sea water. He’s still struggling, hand covering his neck, as if desperately trying to hold on. I lean back again, dagger is sticking to his back, and then stabbing in!

Under the wash of the sea, he has turned his face, which was formerly fierce, but now full of fear and despair. His eyes are staring at me.

Suddenly I’m laughing, and then I press him on the shoulder and put him to the bottom of the sea.

He has stopped struggling, stiffened, and sinking before my eyes.

Looking at him, I say silently in my heart: I have said, I will kill you!
