Mermaid Reef

The remaining giant birds fled.

Cindy slumped on the ground when she realized her mouth was covered in blood and bit her gums to keep calm.

Her right arm was swollen and painful. Although she tried her best to use the hull to help resist the shock force of the wooden warehouse, when the giant bird came, Cindy didn't have much time to choose.

When Mrs. Fenier rushed out with the kitchen knife, Cindy didn't care about the shooting posture with reduced force, and could only pull the trigger desperately.

In just a few minutes, Cindy emptied both magazines.

This is all the stock in the suitcase.

If the giant bird does not retreat, Cindy can only use the kitchen knife brought out by her grandmother-with her strength, it is impossible to defeat these monsters in close combat, but a brave person must face death. Do something instead of closing your eyes and screaming.

Cindy only rested for half a minute before getting up with difficulty to see Mrs. Fenier's situation.

Mrs. Fenier is getting old, and her health is not in good shape. It is all supported by the burst of adrenaline. Now that the danger is over, she has fallen into a state of exhaustion.

Cindy stumbled up to her grandmother and fell to the ground as soon as she crooked.

Survivors around cheered.

Most of them came out only when they heard the explosion.

The suggestion Cindy used to convince the first officer was to kill as many giant birds as possible and reduce the number of giant birds. The narrow space inside the ship was their only chance.

The dust explosion injured about five giant birds, and Cindy repaired the first wooden barn, so she didn't need to worry about the rest.

Passengers and crew who survived such a killing basically killed a giant bird.

After seeing or hearing someone fighting desperately to kill the giant bird, they soon realized that this was a moment of life and death. The explosion also accelerated the sinking speed of the Elizabeth. Continuing to hide was a dead end, so they joined the fight and opened the wooden warehouse behind the giant bird. , which can increase the probability of survival, but it is not a great risk.

The battle in the desperate situation is like this. Once you join in, you will soon forget your fear.

The giant birds sensed the counterattack of the prey. After calling each other to confirm the number of casualties of their companions, they quickly left the narrow cabin and waited outside for the prey to come out. The quicksand would help them force out the prey.

The survivors have no choice but to gather all weapons and people who can fight, and rush out to fight the giant bird.

Cindy was in the middle of it, so it was not noticeable. Although she was a woman, as long as she could fight at this time, no one cared about her gender or age.

After the giant bird fled, other survivors discovered that the young British girl had survived, and several survivors felt more complicated, because they found that Cindy's wooden warehouse technique was very accurate, and quickly resolved the situation they encountered during the battle. dangers and troubles.

——I can't imagine it at all from the outside.

Pretty young girls, old women with white hair...

Sure enough, until the last moment, do you never know what kind of soul is hidden in the ordinary body?

The first officer was holding on to the side of the boat. His right ear was snatched away by a giant bird, blood was flowing, and the wound on his shoulder was also cracked.

He was not the most seriously injured. There were two people lying on the deck with blood dripping from their chests and breathing weakly. They seemed to be dying.

"Who has a first aid kit?"

"The doctor on board is dead, and the medical treatment room is also under the quicksand."

"Has no one been there?"

"...Yes, I took a bandage and painkillers."

Everyone rushed to help bandage.

Then a more real problem confronts them, they must leave the ship, and the rest of the journey will be more terrifying.

"There may be other giant birds on the island. If we just repel the first wave, the following..."

There are no trees on Sable Island, only rocks and grass, and it is difficult to find a place to hide. If you encounter a giant bird in the thick fog, there is no way to survive.

Worst of all, after these rounds of depletion, the ammo is low.

In the face of a monster like a giant bird, without a wooden barn, can you win with only wooden sticks and kitchen knives?

The cheers slowly died away.

People began to realize that instead of winning, they were only delaying their own death.

"We have to get to the lifesaving station, there is a radio there." The first officer said, clutching the bandaged wound.

Immediately someone objected, asking where the lifeguard station was.

The first mate had only heard about the situation on Sable Island, but had never been here, let alone be able to judge the direction in the dense fog. The quicksand area was so large that the ghost knew how far the lifesaving station was.

"We can go on the road after the fog clears. This is a deserted island. We don't have enough food and fresh water." The first officer insisted.

The deck of the Elizabeth was already level with the surface of the yellow sand, and anyone sitting on the deck could feel the vibration of the hull, as if an invisible hand was about to drag them into the abyss.

People stepped on the dead body of the giant bird, and pushed the dead body to slide on the quicksand surface with sticks and ropes, "paving" a walkable road.

At first, they were worried that the dead bird would sink after stepping on it a few times, and the people behind would be useless. As a result, the sunken dead bird quickly and slowly floated up again, like an inflatable rubber duck in a bathtub.

"What kind of bird is this?"

Jason in the distance also had the same question.

The difference is that humans wonder about the types of giant birds, while evil gods wonder how they are polluted.

Jensen parked the boat out of sight of humans, thick fog obscuring his presence.

"...They are very rational, there are a lot of them, and they are not alone. Is there a similar kind of manipulator behind them?"

Jason thought of the little white whale in the North Pole. It is not easy to perfectly gain strength.

Moreover, this is the former residence of Thoth, the god of wisdom. Both the quicksand and the stones have the breath of Thoth. The giant bird is not swallowed by the quicksand, which has proved that they have the same power.

Jason asked vigilantly: "Could it be that Thoth, the god of wisdom, is back?"

The depths of the universe are so scary?Those who go out can't get along, and come back to strengthen themselves crazily?

"No, it's not so quiet when Thoth comes back!" Gemil denied.

Jason: "..."

Before he could ask questions suspiciously, Gemil immediately explained: "Thoth has studied every creature on this planet, and he can easily create monsters more terrifying than this one. If he really comes back, it will definitely be the first time." Put the dependents directly into human cities for a while, and test how much these ants have grown during the time he left."

Jason couldn't help thinking of all kinds of monsters that attacked city-states in human legends.

He had always thought that it was a member of the evil god, or a strange mutant, but he didn't expect that Thoth's testing ground was included in it?

"At that time, Toth felt that the development of ant civilization like human beings was very slow and boring, and he also heard that there were some ant civilizations in the depths of the universe that were much stronger than the earth, and it was not so easy to die, so he left without nostalgia."

Gemil believes that Thoth looks down on the earth because he feels that the human beings here are not up to date.

Jason had nothing to say, and it was interesting to refute humans in his heart.

"It's not clear what happened to this island, we'll wait and see." Gemil said indifferently.

The performance of human beings surviving on a deserted island is wonderful!

——There are more than a dozen giant birds on the island. When will they find these prey?

——When the survivors find that the thick fog has been lingering, they will quarrel!

As for the lifeguard station on Sable Island, Jason glanced in that direction and found a big hole in the wall of the house.

The lifeguard has been killed, can the survivors still use the house as a shelter?

I guess so, after all, there are three walls and a roof, which is much better than an open grass field.

What should I do?

Jason thought about it and read aloud.

"Block the hole with furniture." Gemil suggested that he had seen people from the Gray Order do this.

Jason shook his head: "No, there will be a gap. There are more than a dozen bags of beans behind the house, which seem to be feeding horses. I think this is good."

"Beans are no good, they have to eat this to survive."

"Should pick up stones!"

There are many rocks on the island. Jason looked around and regrettably found that it was not possible.

These stones seem to be "grown" in the ground, and they are integrated with the island itself. Human beings can't break it without a hammer.

Gemil reminded Jason who was distracted: "She came down... It's strange, her movements are very flexible, she doesn't look like she's carrying someone on her back at all."

Jason turned his head hastily, realizing that he almost missed the performance of the "new investigator".

The survivors in front have used the corpse of the giant bird to open up a relatively safe passage.

Cindy used the rope to firmly hold Mrs. Fenier behind her back. She looked wobbly, as if she would fall into quicksand in a second, but her foothold was very precise, and her movements did not hesitate.

The combined weight of the two of them was a little more than that of a grown man, but not much.

Every time the body of the giant bird sank, Cindy would move it in time.

Physical weakness became the main culprit for Cindy in the second half, and there were a few times when Jensen thought she was going to stumble and fall into the quicksand.

"Then, what is that?"

The shadow of the boat emerging from the thick fog caused people to panic and shout.

Cindy was so focused on crossing the quicksand that she didn't get distracted or noticed what was going on outside.

The Cthulhu focused on observing the movements of a certain glowing ant, but he didn't notice that the ghost ship was getting closer and closer to the beach.

"call."

The giant bird carcass pontoon reached the end, and Cindy stepped on the calf-deep sand and walked towards a rock with difficulty, ready to sit down and rest.

Only then did she hear the screams of the survivors.

Cindy looked up suddenly and saw a decaying sailboat with a hull full of holes.

She heard a strange rustling noise, something was hidden in the boat!Something that crawls!

Cindy was so terrified that she couldn't breathe. She desperately held Mrs. Fenier's hand on her shoulder, only to find that her grandmother's palm was also covered in cold sweat.

"Is it a ghost ship?"

"Everyone, calm down... at least hundreds of ships have sunk in the quicksand of Sable Island. The quicksand is constantly moving day and night, and sometimes 'something' will be spit out again. This is just an empty ship!" The first officer shouted hurriedly , he didn't know why his head was hurting, but everyone screamed in fear as if they were losing their minds, it would attract giant birds!

The Ghost Ship drifted slowly back into the mist, as if realizing that it had done something wrong.

At this time, a strange voice with a modified tone sounded:

"Look at the lookout!"

People turned their heads subconsciously, but the ghost ship had disappeared, and they didn't see anything.

The person who shouted fell to the ground, blood spurted from his throat, his eyes popped out, and then he twitched wildly.

His face was deforming, his teeth were beginning to fall out, and his mouth distended monstrously.

Everyone frightenedly avoided this guy who was twitching and crawling.

"Mermaid, I saw... a mermaid..."

Vague and weird voice.

The first officer was already stupid.

The giant bird can also be explained as a prehistoric species that has never been discovered by humans, but what happened to the mermaid?

Mermaids on a ghost ship...

The existence that could no longer be called a human being was still struggling to tell what he had discovered, but suddenly exploded into a cloud of blood and disappeared completely.

Only the horrified Elizabeth survivors were left behind, as well as a small piece of reddish white mist and blood-stained grass.

"what!"

One after another, people collapsed, holding their heads and falling into a coma.

Cindy endured her headache and asked Mrs. Fenier eagerly, "How are you, grandma?"

"I'm fine, I have bad eyesight, so far, how can I see? What are they talking about, ghost ship?"

Mrs. Fenier's cold sweat was because she was worried about her granddaughter walking on the quicksand pontoon. At this time, she saw the crazy behavior of the people around her, and immediately became vigilant, "Cindy, we must leave as soon as possible, the seaside is not safe."
