Chapter 54 Death Kingdom ([-])

Another "click" sounded.

The chaotic people in the darkness of the warehouse suddenly saw a beam of light cast from above their heads. They all raised their heads at the same time, only to see that the large hatch above their heads was opened, and a long wooden ladder was put in.

"Come here, I knew someone would come to save us!"

One made a joyful voice, and he was the first to grab the wooden ladder that was secure, and ran up slowly.

After he went up, someone shouted outside, "The warehouse is flooded, everyone in it should come out quickly."

While the people above were talking, several people climbed up.

Immediately afterwards, other men, women, young and old, all climbed out of the warehouse along the wooden ladder in an orderly manner.

In their view, the "timely rain" rescue that suddenly fell at this time is the blessing bestowed by the gods.

"Mom, it's too bright outside, I can't open my eyes."

A little girl who was climbing forward in the arms of her mother covered her eyes with her dirty little hands.

She didn't know that she had been in the dark for more than half a month. She only knew that the light in front of her eyes was so dazzling that she couldn't open her eyes.

"It's okay, you can see it when we go out for a while."

As soon as the mother spoke, someone who was still huddled in the corner of the warehouse looked up at her, and the latter recognized that the voice should be that of the woman who claimed to be from the Indian family just now.

After a while, almost everyone in the warehouse went out, and it was surprisingly quiet outside.

The people huddled in the corner of the warehouse slowly moved towards the wooden stairs.

She didn't really want to go out.

Her mother had emphasized to her countless times before she boarded the ship that no matter what happened, she must stay in the warehouse until the ship docked, and the gods would bless her to reach the country of Moduo smoothly.

"Is there anyone else inside? If you don't come up, the wooden ladder will be taken away!"

The voice of the previous shout sounded again, making her quicken her pace.

Just as she was about to walk from the darkness to the light below the wooden ladder, she suddenly heard a scream in her ears.

She paused.

Just this slowness, she watched helplessly as the wooden ladder was pulled out by a big hand above.

Those hands, she remembered, were the ones that would throw in a bag of food every day.

It's very rough, dark and has an extra little finger on its right hand.

The wooden ladder was taken away, and the cabin door was closed again.

The originally narrow space became very wide for her at this moment.

It's just... She looked at her whole calf that had been soaked in sea water, and she knew she had to find a way out.

She first put her ear against the side of the ship's wall, listening to the crashing sound of the sea water passing by outside. The sound of the water flowing against the ship's planks was not rushing, and was mixed with the sound of air bubbles indistinctly.

It should be that the boat is still moving at a slow speed, but it is still flooding.

She didn't know how far it was from the shore. If it was a thousand meters away, she might not have the strength to swim ashore.

But now she still wants to find out where the boat entered the water.

-

On the blue sea, a large ship was sailing towards the shore at an extremely slow speed, and at the same time, a maritime patrol team was also ready to launch.

The entire body of these patrol boats is pure white, and a bright red flag is flying on the mast, with strange symbols in the shape of distorted characters drawn on it.

"Captain, we set off so quickly after receiving the call for help today, is it because you know the captain of the Kao very well?"

The team member in charge of steering the boat speeded up the boat while looking curiously at the patrol captain lying beside him enjoying the sun.

The patrol captain sneered when he heard the words, "You mean the captain who sent us a distress call? Tsk tsk... That guy is definitely an old ghost who looks loyal but has a sinister heart. I met him a few times at the port before, you What kind of friendship do you think I can have with him?"

After he finished speaking, he picked up a large coconut placed beside the armrest of the recliner.

A hole was cut in the top of the coconut, and a small hollow reed pole was inserted into the hole.

The captain sipped a few mouthfuls of coconut juice on the reed, patted his stomach contentedly and said, "Let me tell you, the reason I went out to sea this time was because I received a message from an adult from the Dongfang family that they were hunting animals in the sea. The waves and debris from the fight hit the Kao. So I was sent to get the obstructing ship back to port quickly."

"Sea beast?"

The team members froze.

He has never seen that kind of legendary thing, and it is something that only the upper clans have the ability to hunt.

As if seeing what the team members were thinking, the captain said proudly, "A fourth-class citizen like you may never see a sea beast in his life."

The captain, who was basking in the sun, squinted his eyes and looked contented. He was about to wait for the next compliment from the team member, but he heard a scream from the other party, "Captain! Look ahead!"

The person lying on the chair stood up when he heard the words.

I saw that the still calm sea in front of me was already choppy at this time, and the huge waves were churning higher and higher, and the "Kao" was like a frightened bird, weak and helpless trembling and heaving in the ferocious waves Now, it's hard to escape.

"Notify the rescue team to stop! Let's wait and go. If we encounter a sea beast, our team will be destroyed like the Huahuang."

The captain gave the order immediately.

Soon all the patrol boats stopped in place, watching the Kao in the wind and waves from afar.

The team member who was in charge of the helm earlier looked at the "Flower King" and then at the extremely cold profile of his captain. He quietly closed his mouth and said nothing more.

On the "Huahuang", the captain who had seen the patrol fleet approaching but suddenly stopped and refused to leave, angrily tore off his hat.

At the same time, another wave hit him, making his silver hair sticky to his head with wetness, and he was very embarrassed.

"How dare these sons of bitches do this to me! They must have seen the waves and thought the sea beast was nearby, so they left my boat alone!"

The captain angrily threw the hat in his hand on the ground, completely forgetting that it was a high-end product he bought from abroad with a lot of money.

"Captain, what should we do now?"

The sailor in charge of the helm also looked panicked.

Seeing that the waves are getting higher and higher, the boat will sink if it continues like this.

The captain was in a fit of anger, but there were sailors stabbing him, and he was so angry that he wanted to curse, but when he opened his mouth, another huge wave fell, and the fishy sea water poured into his mouth.

"Bah bah bah!"

The captain spat a few mouthfuls of seawater, went to the sailor at the helm and pushed him away.

"Now let me take the helm, you go and put the boat down, and we will set off in the boat."

The sailor who was pushed away froze for a moment, "Then what should we do with so much cargo on board?"

"What should I do? What do you think I can do? Whoever wants to go to the sea to fish for it! Anyway, I can't control it!"

At the moment of life and death, if he doesn't save his life, why should he still take care of those goods?

Then he is really a fool!
The sailor was scolded bloody, and quickly turned around and went to the cabin below to prepare for the lifeboat.

With the impact of the sea water, the people who were still in the warehouse at the bottom floated to the exit of the warehouse.

At this time, she had been submerged by the sea water up to her neck, leaving only one head to barely breathe.

She felt that she was dying, but the plank above her head was never opened once.

From time to time, the salty sea water drifted past her lips and choked her nose. For some reason, when she realized that she was about to die, she suddenly shed tears.

She still remembered what her mother had said to herself the day before she sent her away.

"Shu, don't come back after you go to Moduo Country. There is no one worthy of your memory in Bitis Island, and so is Aunt. Forget about Aunt, and go there to start a good life again..."

Before, she never thought that her mother would steal her stepfather's money and send her to the distant country of Moduo.

She couldn't even imagine how her stepfather would beat her when she knew that her mother had stolen his money.

She didn't want to die like this, she didn't want to die in the sea like this, she wanted to survive, she wanted to go back to Betis Island, and she wanted to see her mother again...

But the sea has completely submerged her.
