This Damned Thirst for Survival

At nine o'clock in the evening, in the communication room.

When Jiang Luo came, Daniel was the only one in the communication room.The young man was fiddling with the equipment in front of him absent-mindedly. When he heard the sound of footsteps, he immediately turned his head and said pleasantly, "Sir, you are here."

After changing his clothes, Jiang Luo took off his coat and put it on his arm, walked to Daniel and sat down.He propped his head casually, his black hair slid down on the table like running water, his eyes seemed to hide silver debris, and he smiled, "Good evening."

Daniel blushed slightly: "Good evening."

Daniel was very uncomfortable in front of Jiang Luo, so Jiang Luo asked Daniel to introduce him to the various equipment in the communication room.Daniel spoke very carefully, but his eyes kept sneaking glances at Jiang Luo.Jiang Luo didn't care at first, and tried to contact the signal of the police ship without any trace, but he saw Daniel constantly wiping his mouth at him.

Jiang Luo knew that he was good-looking, but it wasn't to the point where it made people drool.

He turned his head and said nonchalantly, "Daniel, when will you be on duty?"

Daniel held the cup in his hand, and under his gaze, he drank a mouthful of water, "I'm going to be on duty until twelve o'clock, sir, are you sleepy?"

Jiang Luo always felt that his gaze was circling around his arms and neck as if nothing. He tried to raise his hand, and the skin on his smooth forearm was firm, glowing like cold jade under the light.

Daniel swallowed again, staring straight at Jiang Luo's arm.

He looked very hungry.

The moment Jiang Luo came to the communication room, Daniel had almost finished drinking a large glass of water. He glanced at the glass in Daniel's hand, "Are you very thirsty?"

Daniel smiled sheepishly, "Yes."

Jiang Luo put on his coat calmly, and gave up the radio for the time being, "It's getting late, I'm really sleepy. Daniel, I'm leaving first, see you tomorrow."

Daniel showed a look of reluctance, and asked to stay: "Sir, please stay a little longer."

Before Jiang Luo could answer, he got up and dodged and said, "I'm going to get a glass of water... Sir, can you please wait until I come back?"

It was like someone handed food to his mouth when he was hungry, Jiang Luo didn't expect such a good thing, he raised his brows and agreed with a smile.Daniel hurried past him, and when there was no one in the communication room, Jiang Luo started to activate the radio equipment, but no matter how he connected, there was always a busy sound.how so?Jiang Luo leaned forward and lifted the communication equipment to see that all the plug wires at the back had been unplugged.

Jiang Luo's face darkened, and he quickly left the communication room with a sullen face.

On both sides of the communication room are a row of workshops and a dormitory for the on-duty personnel.

When Jiang Luo passed the dormitory of the staff on duty, he found that the door of the dormitory was not closed, but a gap was exposed.

The gap was pitch black, and a familiar fishy smell came from inside, which immediately attracted Jiang Luo's attention.He looked into the dormitory, and saw the sound of snoring, Jiang Luo frowned, and quietly walked into the dormitory.

There was only one person sleeping on the top bunk in the dormitory.

After a few seconds, my eyes adapted to the darkness and I was able to see the layout of the room clearly.In the dormitory, two bunk beds are placed against the left wall.Next to the right wall are two desks. Under the faint moonlight, you can clearly see the lamps and a diary on the desks.

The sleeping person was on the upper bunk near the door, and the quilt wrapped him from head to toe, only the loud snoring surrounded the room.

Jiang Luo walked lightly to the desk and opened the diary.

On the first page of the diary, the words "Navigation Diary" are written.

Jiang Luo scrolled down, the first few articles were all normal work records, Jiang Luo quickly scanned them.But as soon as he turned over a few pages of the diary, Jiang Luo's expression froze.He looked at the above content for a few seconds, frowned, and quickly flipped through the rest of the paper, only to find that each had the same words.

"Very hungry, very hungry..."

What does it mean?

Why is it that the first half of the diary is normal, but there is only the word "very hungry" at the end?

Jiang Luo couldn't find his place, but suddenly, he stopped.

Because he suddenly realized something was wrong.

The snoring didn't know when it stopped.

Jiang Luo held his breath and turned his head, and saw that the person who had been sleeping just now sat up at some point on the upper bunk next to the door.He was covered with a white quilt, his face was not exposed, but he turned around, facing Jiang Luo's direction.

Jiang Luo's heart beat faster, and he carefully prepared to walk towards the door, but there was another sound of footsteps outside the door.

Facing the attack from inside and outside, Jiang Luo cursed bad luck in his heart, and immediately looked for any hiding places in the house, and finally squatted down and rolled on the ground, hiding under the lower bunk bed.

He had just hid when he saw a pair of feet walking in from the door.

The uniforms and shoes of the crew were the same, but Jiang Luo recognized that they were Daniel's shoes.Because there are a few drops of engine oil on it, which was removed when Daniel explained the equipment to him in the communication room.

Daniel's voice sounded, "Sonya, have you seen someone leave the door?"

A voice came from the bed above Jiang Luo: "It should be, I fell asleep, but I smelled a new smell."

This voice was extremely strange. It seemed that there was mucus in his throat, and he could not speak clearly.

Daniel's feet walked from the door to the table, and he seemed to be taking off his clothes rustlingly, "Get up quickly, it's time for you to work soon."

Sanya said, "I see."

The bed on Jiang Luo's body shook violently, the person on the upper bed should be getting out of bed.According to the frequency of the bed shaking, it is enough to see that this person is strong.

Daniel walked to the lower bunk and sat down, still taking off his clothes, Jiang Luo breathed calmly, trying not to make the slightest movement.

But Daniel's movements stopped suddenly, he seemed to sniff the air, and said strangely: "It smells like someone in the dormitory."

Sanya said: "I smelled it too, I thought I smelled it wrong."

Jiang Luo's eyelids twitched.

In just a few words of dialogue, he can be sure that neither of these two people is human.But the current situation did not allow Jiang Luo to think too much, Jiang Luo clenched his fists, his whole body tensed up, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

His eyes were fixed on the outside of the bed, and the next second, he met a pair of white fish eyes.

A deformed human-like fish-like head bent over to look at the bottom of the bed, mucus dripped from its head, just staring in the direction of Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo: "..."

He froze, reflexively wanting to get out of bed.But in the next moment, he found that the pair of fish eyes seemed to be unable to see anything.

The monster sniffed its nose and murmured, "The smell is the strongest under the bed."

It was Daniel's voice, but his voice also became very strange at this time.The throat also seems to contain mucus. When the vocal cords tremble, it drives the muscles of the throat, and the mucus drips faster.

It reached out to feel under the bed, its hand still looked like a human being, Jiang Luo burrowed deeper under the bed, avoiding his fingers.Daniel didn't touch anything, and there was a puzzled expression on its terrifying fish face, and another monster said dissatisfiedly: "I'll do it."

While they were talking, Jiang Luo had crawled under another bed.

Instead of continuing to hide under the bed, he crawled out of the bed as quietly as possible and stood up quietly.

The moonlight illuminated the two monsters lying beside the bed.

One is a black fish with limbs.The whole body is smooth, and the eyes protrude from both sides of the head. It looks like a mixture of human and fish. The mucus dripping on the body is extremely terrifying and disgusting.

Daniel's appearance is also terrific, its head has turned into the appearance of a fish, except for the head, the rest is still the appearance of a normal person.

The stench of fish came from them, Jiang Luo resisted the desire to feel sick, and stretched out his hand to support the bed.But there was a lot of liquid on the sheets.

He turned his head and saw that there was a lot of this kind of mucus on every bed.

The crew living in this house are not human beings.

"Daniel, there seems to be nothing under the bed."

At this time, one of the monsters asked: "Did you bring back your humanity when you came back?"

"I haven't eaten people yet," Daniel thumped the ground, furious, "When I went back, the people were gone."

"Be patient," Sanya said, "Our work is tiresome and unrewarding, and it's not our turn to eat meat yet. After the small fish hatch, give the female fish to the rich to eat. Those who raise fish The utensils are useless, we can eat them all. I hope to successfully hatch more fish this year, our fish eggs are too difficult to survive, and they only like to grow in human stomachs."

"There is not one blood eel that survives hatching out of a hundred fish fry, and there is only one female fish out of a hundred blood eels. The body nourishment of the common people is still not enough. I heard from them that before the fry hatch successfully, the utensils are already dead. A lot of people died, really useless humans."

Jiang Luo listened silently, the information contained in just a few words almost made his brain ache, he breathed lightly, and tried his best to reduce his sense of existence.

There was a gust of wind blowing outside the window.

The two monsters suddenly raised their heads and sniffed in the direction of Jiang Luo, "It's really strange, the smell came from there again."

"Yeah," Daniel's mouth was drooling, and it wiped its mouth, swallowing saliva with great hunger, "it's the taste of humans."

Jiang Luo felt bad, and the next moment, two monsters approached him.Jiang Luo quickly took off the zipper on his jacket and threw it into another corner. The moment the zipper sounded, the two mermaid monsters rushed towards the corner.

There is nothing there, and it does not affect their ferocious bite.Jiang Luo took the opportunity to run past them, opened the door and ran out.

The monster turned its head to look in the direction of the door, saliva slipped from its saliva, "Humans escaped."

They rushed out the door following the smell.

Jiang Luo rushed to the deck in one go.It was late at night, and there were no lights or people on the deck.The pale moonlight shone on the water, sparkling.

The humanoid monster behind him was extremely fast and had a keen sense of smell.They chased Jiang Luo relentlessly, sweat dripped from Jiang Luo's forehead, and when they ran past a corner, a small hand suddenly stretched out from the shadows and grabbed Jiang Luo's clothes.

Jiang Luo looked down, and it turned out to be Lisa, the captain's daughter.Lisa took his hand and ran in another direction, Jiang Luo thought about it, and ran over with her.

Soon, Lisa led him to a closed door, Jiang Luo and Lisa opened the door together, and got inside.

The moment he entered the door, Jiang Luo felt that he had stepped on sticky liquid.

When his expression changed, Lisa tugged at him, and whispered, "Brother, don't talk. You lie down and roll on the ground. After getting stained with mucus, they won't be able to smell you."

Jiang Luo did as he said, and then stood by the door with Lisa in his arms, looking out through the cat's eyes vigilantly.

Lisa lay on his shoulder obediently, without saying a word.

Outside the door, a skinless mermaid monster walked through the door dragging a body of slime.It kept sniffing the air in front of the door, and after standing in front of the door for a few seconds, it left hesitantly.

Jiang Luo breathed a sigh of relief. He sat down by the door, held Lisa by his side, and asked in a low voice, "Lisa, where is this place? How do you know that you can hide from monsters with your body covered in mucus?"

Lisa held her fingers, and after a moment of silence she said, "Brother, this is my father's room."

She looked up at Jiang Luo and said in fear: "For some reason, he turned into a scary look, and sometimes he drools at me. Only when I'm hiding here, he doesn't seem to be able to see What I look like."
