69novels Chapter 15 Shipwreck
Chapter 15 Shipwreck
The sea was grayish-black.
The ship sails on the boundless sea, like a leaf blown away by the wind, all alone and without direction.
The sky was low, with dark clouds piled up, layer upon layer, hanging heavily downwards.
Lightning flashed deep within the clouds, and muffled thunder rolled in from afar, booming and rumbling.
Lu Siye sat in the small cabin of the ship, listening to the sounds outside.
The sounds of singing and dancing.
Some people are singing, some are laughing, and some are clinking glasses.
It came through the thin wall, vague and indistinct.
He looked down at his phone.
The screen was lit up, showing the chat box with Tang Yuan.
There's a lot of news.
"Lu Siye!!! Are you coming today or not?"
"We've already started, where are you?"
"You didn't forget again, did you? It's my birthday!!!"
"Never mind, you go ahead with your work."
"..."
Are you angry?
"Because of my affair with He Chutian?"
"If you're angry, just say so. Don't ignore me."
"Lu Siye?"
The last message was posted half an hour ago.
"Fine, not even a simple 'Happy Birthday' message. I've seen through you."
Lu Siye stared at the messages, his finger hovering over the screen, motionless for a long time.
The sound of waves lapping against the hull outside the window, one after another.
He took a deep breath and opened the QQ gifts.
The most expensive kind.
One crown, 1888 coins.
He bought it and gave it away.
Then I typed a line of text.
"Happy birthday."
After sending the message, he turned off his phone and placed it face down on the table.
There's one more thing on the desktop.
A necklace.
The chain is silver, with a small star pendant set with a diamond that may or may not be real.
The packaging box said "Happy Birthday Tang Yuan" and cost more than 300 yuan.
He had originally planned to give it to her personally.
But now, he is at sea.
I don't know where to go.
I don't know what I'm trying to escape from.
He reached out and picked up the necklace, placing it in his palm.
The pendant swayed, reflecting the dim yellow light in the cabin, and flickered.
Pity.
It can't be delivered.
He put the necklace back on the table, leaned against the headboard, and closed his eyes.
The ship suddenly jolted.
Lu Siye swayed, opened his eyes, and frowned.
What did you bump into?
He didn't pay much attention, shifted his position, and adjusted his posture.
I could hear a few people talking outside, cursing and swearing; they were probably complaining.
Then the second vibration came.
Much stronger than before.
The necklace on the table was jolted and rolled to the edge of the table, almost falling off.
Lu Siye reached out to support him, and heard someone shouting outside.
"What's going on?!"
"What did you bump into?"
"Where's the captain?!"
Before he could react, the third blow came.
It's not vibration.
It was a loud noise.
It was as if something had crashed down from the sky, smashing through the roof of the ship, through the floor, and through everything.
Rain hit his face.
It was cold and had a salty, fishy smell, which hit his nose, lips, and eyelids.
Lu Siye was stunned.
rainwater?
How could there be rainwater in the cabin?
He opened his eyes and saw the sky.
dark clouds.
Lightning.
rainwater.
He saw the sky.
How could that be?
He should be under the ceiling, in the cabin, under the protection of the metal sheeting.
But he saw the sky.
Why?
Then he felt it.
pain.
My whole body aches.
It was as if someone had taken his bones off one by one and then haphazardly stuffed them back in.
It felt as if something had pierced his body, leaving holes through which the wind blew in, making him shiver with cold.
There was also a bloody smell.
It wasn't his own.
It belongs to many people.
The air was thick with the smell of blood, so strong it was almost pungent.
His brain took a long time to process this information.
The ship split open.
It didn't crack gradually; it happened instantly.
In an instant, the ship was torn in half, as easily as tearing a piece of paper.
That's why he was able to see the sky.
That's why the rain could hit his face.
That's why he's in so much pain.
He tried to move.
I can't move.
It hurts too much.
Every nerve was screaming, every muscle was spasming.
He couldn't even lift a finger.
He wanted to speak, but something was stuck in his throat.
He coughed with great effort.
Liquid spilled from the corner of his mouth and trickled down his cheek.
It's warm.
blood.
He lay on his back, the rain hitting his face so hard he could barely open his eyes.
He could only squint through a crack, vaguely seeing the dark clouds and lightning overhead.
Then he saw something else.
Five people.
wrong.
not human.
They stood firmly on the wreckage of the ship's cabin, as if they were standing on flat ground.
The wind and waves roared around them, but they remained motionless.
It was completely black.
It has no facial features.
There was nothing there.
Only outline, only shape.
They are all different in height, weight, and build.
Their bodies have patterns, bones, and a sense of armor, unlike the smooth, black shadows of the Heavy Zero.
They stood there, as if they were chatting.
to chat with?
Zero chat skills?
Lu Siye's brain is no longer able to process this information.
His consciousness was gradually fading and becoming blurred.
His blood seemed to freeze.
In his peripheral vision, he saw the wreckage of the ship's cabin.
The remains of armed personnel.
The heavily armed men he saw when he boarded the ship are now scattered among the ruins.
Some were only half left, some were twisted into strange angles, and some were so unrecognizable as human beings.
Their lives were taken away in an instant.
Like crushing a few ants.
He's lucky.
still alive.
He still retained a sliver of consciousness, could still see the sky, and could still feel the cold rain hitting his face.
The five black things were still talking.
He couldn't hear what they were saying, or even whether they were actually talking.
But he could sense that they were very relaxed.
Like a group of hunters looking at their prey.
Not too fast, not too slow.
With ease.
Consciousness is fading.
His eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and he could no longer feel the rain hitting his eyes.
The world is getting farther away, the sounds are getting softer, and even the pain is fading.
Before he completely sank into darkness, he seemed to hear a sound.
Sounds of fighting.
There is a fight.
It was far away and blurry, as if separated by a layer of water.
Uncle Yi?
He instinctively wanted to shout, to tell them to run away and not come any closer.
You can't beat them.
I don't know why, but he just knew.
They can't beat those five zeros.
But he couldn't open his mouth and make a sound.
Consciousness, like a string stretched too tight, finally snapped.
He sank into darkness.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Something landed on his forehead.
It was gentle, soft, and slightly cool.
Then there is light.
Through my eyelids, I could see a warm, soft, orange-red light.
He slowly opened his eyes.
ceiling.
Made of wood.
It wasn't the sheet metal of a ship's cabin, nor the white of a hospital; it was wood, with its grain, its knots, and a warm, smooth texture.
A breeze blew in from the window, carrying the scent of flowers.
good smell.
It's not a strong, artificial fragrance, but a natural, light scent, like many flowers blooming at the same time, sweetening the air.
He lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, without moving for a long time.
Then he turned his head and saw the window.
Outside the window, the sun shines brightly.
Sunlight shone in the yard, onto a tree, which was covered in blossoms.
Cherry blossoms.
Pink and white petals drifted down in the wind, one by one, slowly swirling, as if someone had scattered a handful of confetti from the sky.
A petal drifted in through the window and landed on his forehead.
He stared blankly at the petal for a long time before he came to his senses.
He is alive.
He was in some unknown place.
The sun shines brightly, the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers, and cherry blossoms are falling.
His gaze slowly shifted to the small table beside the bed.
The phone is left there.
The screen was lit up, displaying the chat box with Tang Yuan.
There's new information.
He stared at the screen for a long time before finally reaching out to take the phone.
News of Tang Yuan.
She accepted the QQ gift.
Then he replied with a sentence.
I received the gift.
"I really like it!!!"
