Chapter 604 (1/2)
No matter how brave a person is, he will be scared to death.
Su Huilan heard her heart beating. If she opened her mouth a little wider, she might be able to jump out of her throat and run away.
But she was not an ordinary person. She reacted quickly. When she turned around, she took out her gun and shouted, ”who?”
The man sat motionless on the sofa, as if laughing at this fearless move.
He was also wearing a military uniform, but he looked a little ragged. The hat on his head was crooked and half of it was missing. The legs are naturally separated, with one hand on the knee and the other hand relaxed on the armrest of the sofa.
In the firelight, his body was covered with a light golden halo, which was more mysterious.
Suhuilan suddenly thought of something.
In order to test her idea, she dared to walk over until the gun she held was about to touch the man's face, and he still didn't move.
The face is pale and thin, the muscles on the face contract due to the loss of water, the skin is close to the bone, and the deep wrinkles are fixed on the face forever. The cheeks are sunken, and the eye sockets are like two deep black holes. Even the fire can't shine in.
She put the torch close to the chest of the corpse. There was a crooked name card with the English word ”Halsey” written on it.
Suhuilan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ivan and Boris must have put Halsey's body here. Halsey is the captain of the swordfish frigate. This room belongs to him. Moreover, all the officers and soldiers' dormitories are full, and only here is relatively spacious. If Su Huilan is allowed to deal with the body, she will first think of sending it here.
When they carried Halsey down, they must have broken his clothes and hat. This kind of clothes became as fragile as dried tofu skin after hundreds of years in still space. Ronald Cohen's body should have been touched by them, and the posture of his arms and head would be different from before.
Thinking that she had been looking under her desk for a long time just now, Su Huilan felt funny.
But she was still uneasy. She always felt that something was wrong.
She looked around again and found nothing in the room except two bodies.
The light of the torch is getting darker and darker.
She lit the spare torch, inserted the dying one into a shelf on the bulkhead for something, and allowed it to give full play to its last residual heat.
She decided to look elsewhere.
As soon as she walked out of the door of the captain's room, she immediately realized that something was wrong.
”Sound!”
She gave a cry. There was no response. The cat disappeared.
The cat had been following her just now. When she was in the aisle, she put it on her shoulder to help her look behind her. Later, she entered the officers' and soldiers' dormitory. When she checked the mummies, she came down from her shoulder soundly. Later, she should have been following her feet, but she didn't know when she disappeared.
”Sound!”
She cried again. The sound went far out in the dark and came back from the darkest place. Then there was a dead silence, only the echo of his own cry echoed in his ears.
Suhuilan went back to the aisle and looked for it one by one along the way she came and the cabin she passed, but she found nothing.
She stood in the aisle and hesitated. The two ends of the aisle lead to the upper and lower floors respectively. Soundly, it may go to the upper layer and return to the bridge, or it may go to the lower layer.
She had to get the sound back. She encouraged herself so much that she decided to go down and have a look.
The cabin on the next floor is relatively messy. Many places have been disassembled. The ground is full of machine parts and tools. It is probably the last struggle made by the swordfish officers and soldiers when they were alive. They have removed everything they can use.
Suhuilan is not familiar with the structure of the ship. She is a little lost only by the lighting of a torch. As she walked, she called out her sound name, but there was no response.
