Chapter 66 Begging to Eat Ghosts
I took three scented incense sticks, lit them, and placed them on the deck.
"Ashes return to ashes, dust returns to dust. You have done a lot of evil in your lifetime, and that is why you will end up like this. We are all fallen people in the world, and I want to borrow something from you now. These three sticks of incense are considered as compensation for you.
Let’s not disturb each other, and don’t bother me, otherwise don’t blame me for being rude.”
After that, I started searching the deck.
There are a lot of guns and ammunition scattered on these mummies. It is obvious that the firepower configuration is obtained from the bald eagle.
But at that time, it seemed that there were only Bald Eagle ships wandering around the sea.
This group of pirates is really tough, and they actually robbed a ship.
It's a pity that these guns and ammunition have been exposed to wind and rain for countless years on the deck, and they are no longer usable.
I searched around the deck and found nothing of value, so I walked towards the entrance to the cabin.
When I walked to the entrance, I was a little stunned.
The large iron plate at the entrance to the cabin was tightly fastened to the deck, with a large lock hanging on it and a stack of wooden boxes on top.
"What does this mean?"
These pirates all ran to the deck to bask in the sun and rain, but sealed up the cabin.
Could it be that these pirates all died of disease, and the cabins were sealed to prevent the spread of disease?
Thinking of some possibility, I quickly tore off a large piece of coarse cloth from my clothes and poured some child urine on it to prepare for emergencies.
Child urine is the nemesis of all kinds of evil spirits. Covering your mouth and nose with a damp cloth can also prevent yourself from inhaling toxic gases to the greatest extent.
It's a little disgusting, but it may save your life at a critical moment, so there's no reason to despise yourself.
After being fully prepared, I pulled out the Xuanguang sword and hit the big lock with the hilt.
The big rusty lock immediately broke open, and I kicked open the wooden box that was pressed against the iron plate.
Bang!
Pulling the guard upwards forcefully, the rusted hatch was pulled up.
I just felt a cold wind blowing against my face, so I quickly covered my mouth and nose with a wet cloth and stood aside.
As a layer of haze dissipated, the cabin seemed empty, and nothing unusual was found.
I didn't have a flashlight, so I tore some rags from the deck and tied them to a stick to make a homemade torch.
After lighting the torch, he walked towards the cabin.
By the light of the torch, the situation inside the cabin can be vaguely seen.
This ship should have three floors, excluding the top deck.
The second floor is a place for living and material storage. It is divided into more than a dozen rooms, large and small.
As for the bottom floor, it mainly contains mechanical structures and warehouses for storing ammunition.
Of course, this is just the layout of a conventional ship. I don’t know how long this ship has been in the hands of the pirates. Who knows how they will arrange the layout.
I searched the rooms one by one. Most of the rooms were abandoned and I didn't find anything valuable.ωωw..net
Compared to the tragedy on the deck, the cabin was very clean, and not a single body was found.
Bang!
As a cabin door was kicked open, rows of neat shelves appeared in front of me.
"This should be the storage room."
I was overjoyed when I saw these shelves filled with sack after sack of rice, white flour, and whole boxes of military cans.
These rice noodles have become moldy after so many years, so naturally they are no longer practical.
But these unopened military cans are different. The storage period of military cans during the war can be up to seventy or eighty years.
In other words, these cans can actually be eaten. They not only contain meat, but also a small amount of water.
I quickly took out a box of canned beef from the box, poked it hard with the Xuanguang sword, and raised the lid.
A thick soup flowed out of it, and I dipped my finger into it and tasted it.
Although the original flavor of the food has been lost, there is no spoiled taste.
With these cans, at least we don’t have to worry about starving to death in a short period of time.
After eating a box of canned beef, I felt like my body was getting warmer.
It's just that this stuff is a bit dry, so if you don't have fresh water, try not to eat more of it.
After carrying two boxes of cans into the corridor of the cabin, I walked towards the bottom of the cabin.
The bottom floor is where the mechanical warehouse is, so the gasoline must be placed there.
After finally finding the entrance to the ground floor, the torch in my hand went out.
After all, this torch is just wrapped with some rags and has not been soaked with gasoline, so its combustion-supporting properties are probably much worse than natural ones.
Fortunately, after spending a long time in the cabin, I have gradually adapted to the dim environment inside, and I can barely see clearly without a torch.
Clang clang clang!
I went down the spiral staircase to the lowest level of the cabin, and a strong corrosive smell hit my face.
Ta-ta...
There were constant drops of water dripping onto the floor, and the underlying floor was covered in water stains.
"Strange, this ship doesn't seem to be damaged, otherwise it would have sunk to the bottom of the sea long ago.
But why are there so many water stains on the ground?"
It was pitch black all around, and I could only see clearly about one meter around.
I sniffed the air, and the smell of volatile gasoline came into my breath. It seemed that there were many oil drums of different sizes stacked in the corner of the machinery warehouse.
"Haha! Finally found it."
I quickly walked towards the oil drums and shook several oil drums with my hands.
The sealing of these oil drums is very good. Although part of the gasoline inside has evaporated, you can still hear the sound of liquid colliding inside.
I quickly put the extinguished torch inside and stirred it. After covering the oil drum, I lit the torch again.
The cabin was suddenly illuminated brightly, and at this moment, several sticky water droplets suddenly fell from above my head.
By the light of the torch, a huddled black shadow was reflected at my feet.
hiss……
What the hell is this?
Judging from the shadow, this thing looks about the same size as a normal child, and it has hands and feet.
This cabin has been locked for so many years, there is no way it could be human.
I carefully took half a step back and quietly pulled out the bamboo slip.
Taking advantage of the dark shadow's unpreparedness, I quickly raised the torch, and the bamboo slip in my hand hit the dark shadow above my head with a snap.
Zhizhi...
The black shadow rolled twice on the ground, let out a shrill scream, and stared at me blankly with a pair of scarlet eyes.
Under the illumination of the fire, a wet and hunched black figure appeared in front of me.
This thing looks similar to a monkey, but it has a human face, with wrinkled skin and sparse hair.
My whole body was wet, and sticky water kept dripping on the ground.
