Chapter 92 (2/2)
Bang!
Xiao Tangqiu instinctively closed his eyes and his heart contracted violently. But the pain he had imagined did not come. Instead, there was movement behind him. He turned around and saw a drowned ghost disappearing.
It turned out that Shen Yuan didn’t shoot at him but at the drowned ghost behind him!
Xiao Tangqiu was ecstatic and then felt belated fear. He didn’t know when the drowned ghost behind him approached. If Shen Yuan wasn’t here, the drowned ghost likely would’ve taken him down… No, If there was no Shen Yuan, he didn’t even know if he could have handled the lady drowned ghost!
Before he could react, Shen Yuan arrived beside him and stretched out a hand towards him.
Xiao Tangqiu stared at Shen Yuan’s hand blankly. The hand was fair and slender, but also looked very powerful…
Seeing Xiao Tangqiu not reacting for a long time, Shen Yuan frowned slightly and pulled Xiao Tangqiu up from the ground with one hand.
By the time Xiao Tangqiu reacted, he had already been picked up by Shen Yuan like a puppy. He quickly thanked him, “Thank you— mmm!”
The next moment, he was gagged by the handkerchief in Shen Yuan’s hand. Shen Yuan took out a handkerchief from who knew where and was wiping his mouth with it. No, it was to wipe off the seawater near his mouth that dripped from the drowned ghost.
Shen Yuan expressionlessly wiped Xiao Tangqiu’s mouth with the handkerchief. He used some strength and it hurt a little bit. Xiao Tangqiu wanted to struggle but Shen Yuan grabbed his wrist and continued to wipe.
Xiao Tangqiu didn’t know if he wanted to laugh or cry, “I’ll do it myself…”
Shen Yuan didn’t listen and kept a hold of Xiao Tangqiu’s wrist and wiped his mouth, but he lessened the strength. Xiao Tangqiu struggled a few times and didn’t break free, so he just bit the bullet and let Shen Yuan continue to wipe.
Shen Yuan meticulously wiped off the seawater on every inch of Xiao Tangqiu’s face. Towards the end, his movements became extremely gentle, as if he was wiping precious porcelain.
Nevertheless, when Shen Yuan put down the handkerchief, the skin on Xiao Tangqiu’s face had been rubbed pink. Fortunately, the sky was already dark and it didn’t look obvious.
Xiao Tangqiu said uncomfortably, “Thank…thank you…”
Shen Yuan lowered his head and looked at Xiao Tangqiu as if he wanted to say something. At this moment, Duan Hongzhen suddenly yelled from nearby, “Captain! Come help! Can’t hold this side anymore! These water rats are too much. too much!”
Shen Yuan paused, took a look at Xiao Tangqiu, then turned and left. Xiao Tangqiu hesitated for a while and quickly followed. Duan Hongzhen and others fought on their own, every one surrounded by dozens of drowned ghosts. Although they killed quickly, new drowned ghosts quickly lunged over.
Xiao Tangqiu shouted, “Quick! Flashlight!” His equipment had dropped when he died, but luckily Tang Mianmian had prepared a flashlight.
As soon as Tang Mianmian turned on the flashlight, everyone in the audience was horrified. They saw countless drowned ghosts crawling on the deck and the railings around the deck were crowded with drowned ghosts trying to squeeze in. The flashlight shone towards the sea to reveal a scalp-tingling scene of the sea full of drowned ghosts!
Those drowned ghosts stretched their arms towards the ship, obviously a part of the boarding army.
“Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!” Tang Mianmian exclaimed repetitively, “How can there be so many! How can there be so many!”
Xiao Tangqiu felt unwell all over. It was no wonder that the ship felt particularly bumpy at night. It was not that the wind and waves are bigger at night, but that these drowned ghosts were desperately squeezing onto the ship!
“Wait!” He suddenly realized something was wrong, “This ship seems… a little shorter than before!” The ship deck was a distance from the sea level, but it was obviously much closer now than before.
He quickly realized that it was not that the ship had become shorter, but that the ship had sunk a lot due to the increased weight! This ship was originally small and it had been abandoned for a long time in disrepair, but these drowned ghosts were still climbing continuously…
Xue Junli quickly realized, “The ship is sinking!”
Tang Mianmian instantly paled, “Fuck, fuck, fuck! I can’t swim!”
Duan Hongzhen sneered, “It’s not a question of whether you can swim. With so many drowned ghosts down there, guess if you’ll drown first or be bitten to death by these drowned ghosts first?”
Tang Mianmian paled further, “Can I not guess?”
The drowned ghosts continued to climb onto the deck from the sea and the small broken ship began to become overwhelmed and gradually sank.
Xiao Tangqiu was very anxious. At this moment he suddenly saw a piece of very familiar clothing hanging on the railing of the deck. He quickly grabbed Tang Mianmian, “Look! That piece of clothing!”
“What are you caring about clothes for at this time!” Tang Mianmian turned to look, and suddenly reacted, “Fuck! Isn’t that the clothes that arrogant guy was wearing? How can his clothes be there?”
