Chapter 423
The passage of the cabin is empty, only the hatches are neatly lined up on both sides.Chen Ziyang looked at both ends of the aisle. In the entire aisle, except for the cabin he was in, the doors of other cabins were closed.

An ominous feeling permeated Chen Ziyang's heart. Although he didn't see any clues, he always felt that something bad had happened.Recalling the weird dream he had just now, Chen Ziyang hurried back to the cabin and closed the cabin door.

After waking up Ushishuai and Yang Lei who were sleeping, Chen Ziyang told them to put on their clothes quickly.The two sleepy-eyed people realized that something must have happened, so they gritted their teeth and woke up.

"Er Yang, what's the matter?" Yang Lei asked impatiently after getting dressed.In the past few days, his little life has been very comfortable, and he has become a little lazy, and Yang Lei doesn't think that anything bad will happen on this boat.

"It's hard to say, I always feel that something is wrong." After thinking for a while, Chen Ziyang picked up the intercom phone hanging on the bulkhead and dialed the number of Liu Cong's room, but no one answered the phone.

"It's really bad." The anxiety in Chen Ziyang's heart became more and more intense.Their mobile phones have already been confiscated by Liu Cong, and even if they are not confiscated, their mobile phones are useless at sea. If they want to contact each other, they can only use this kind of internal phone.

So when boarding the ship, Liu Cong once said that no matter what time it is, there will be at least one person in his room, and even if he is not in the room, someone will answer the phone.But now there is no one answering the phone, which means that something really happened.

The three of them became serious. Since the internal phone could not be reached, the only way left was to knock on the door.

Chen Ziyang took out the ancient Xuanming sword, opened the hatch, and walked into the passage first, followed by Yang Lei and Shuai Shanshi.Shuai Ushiki took out a fire ax from the fire box in the passage, and the three of them walked slowly towards the cabin where Liu Cong was, keeping vigilant back and forth.

Every time he passed a closed hatch, Chen Ziyang had to knock on the hatch for a long time, but it seemed that there was no one behind the hatch, and there was no answer at all.It is quite normal to say that occasionally there is no one in one or two cabins, but it is impossible that there are no people behind all the cabin doors.

As the three of them walked, they felt that something was wrong. Simply, Chen Ziyang stopped knocking on the cabin door, and led the two of them directly to the cabin door where Liu Cong was.After knocking hard, there was still no answer from behind the cabin door.

"It's broken, hurry to the coffin nails." Chen Ziyang suddenly realized something, and hurriedly dragged the two of them to the deck superstructure where the coffin nails were.

The temporary laboratory where the coffin nails were placed was not in the cabin, but on the second floor of the deck superstructure.The three of Chen Ziyang who came to the deck became more and more uneasy. There was no light on the entire deck of the ship, and there was no one. This is too abnormal.Even the searchlights, which had been turned on to prevent ships from colliding at night, went out.

"Where did everyone go?" Although the deck is usually not very lively, it is not so deserted. There will always be crew members in twos and threes here fishing at night, or smoking in the sea breeze, and a few observers are in charge of checking Check the abnormal shape of the nearby sea surface to see if there are reefs under the water.But now these people are all gone, as if they had discussed it together.

"Er...Er Yang... This ship will not become a ghost ship, right? Is there only the three of us left in the whole ship..." Because of fear, Yang Lei's voice trembled a little.

Chen Ziyang didn't answer Yang Lei's question, and his uneasy feeling intensified again. Although he didn't know what happened, he estimated that it must have something to do with the coffin nail, after all, the strangest thing on the whole ship That's it.

But the coffin nails have been placed in a glass cover that shields the magnetic field, and Liu Cong has sent people to guard it, so how could something happen?Now the only way to know the answer is to see it with your own eyes.

The three ran towards the gate of the superstructure.Far away, Chen Ziyang saw through the night that the hatch of the superstructure was tightly closed, and he prayed in his heart that this hatch must not be closed, otherwise, if he wanted to go in, he would It's difficult.

Holding both hands on the hand wheel above the hatch, after a sudden force, Chen Ziyang's heart skipped a beat, and the more he worried about something, the more the hatch was locked inside.

He hurriedly took two steps back, staring at the superstructure on the deck, while Yang Lei and Shuai Shanshi, one on each side, grabbed the left and right sides of the handwheel respectively, using brute force non-stop.

After opening the yin and yang eyes, Chen Ziyang looked towards the room where the coffin nails were placed on the second floor of the superstructure, probably because the thick steel walls blocked the yin and yang eyes, he just saw a few faint black Qi floated out from the cracks in the window, but it was these few traces of black air that made his face change suddenly.

The scene in front of him suddenly reminded Chen Ziyang of the scene where the Bailang pill sank, but he didn't know if the black air was the kind that caused the Bailang pill to sink, but it was almost the same when he thought about it.Fortunately, the black air is not very strong, and it seems that this giant crane ship cannot sink for the time being.

At this time, Yang Lei and Shuai Sanshi were so exhausted that they were out of breath. They put all their energy into the hand wheel on the hatch door, but they still couldn't open the hatch door. The two of them sitting on the deck could not He stopped panting heavily.

Chen Ziyang took a few steps back again, allowing the entire superstructure to appear in his eyes. He wanted to find a way to enter, but the ship was so airtight that he couldn't find it at all except the cabin door. the second entrance.

And at this moment, there was a "click" sound of metal colliding behind the hatch, followed by the sound of hinges rubbing, and the hatch that had been tightly closed was slowly opened.

Yang Lei, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly jumped up. It seemed that someone had opened the hatch from the inside. This made Yang Lei, who had been unable to find anyone else and was a little nervous, very excited. He didn't notice it at all. Something was wrong, and ran towards the hatch.

At the moment when the hatch opened, Chen Ziyang noticed that there seemed to be no one behind the hatch.At first it was tightly closed all the time, and then it opened inexplicably, and even if you thought about it with your heels, you knew something was wrong.

The dark passage behind the hatch opened at this time is like the mouth of a ferocious monster, waiting for the prey to enter.

Before Chen Ziyang could remind him, suddenly, a pale arm covered in blood stretched out from the darkness behind the hatch, grabbed the defenseless Yang Lei, and pulled him into the hatch.

The arm appeared so suddenly and so fast that Yang Lei didn't even have time to utter a cry before disappearing into the darkness behind the cabin door.

Shuai Ushi, who had just reacted, hurriedly raised the fire ax in his hand, and wanted to enter the cabin door to save people, but was stopped by Chen Ziyang who rushed over.

Shuai Shi, who stopped suddenly, realized this, why did he dare to walk into the cabin door rashly?Just now, I wanted to save Yang Lei just subconsciously, without thinking about it at all. This is not like my own style of doing things.

Several people came out in a hurry, without flashlights at all. After stopping Shuai Shi, Chen Ziyang hurriedly took out a flammable talisman, lit it, and threw it into the cabin door.

The side wall of the passage is very smooth, and it is also painted with white paint. This kind of passage is like a simple mirror, allowing the firelight to shine further.But Chen Ziyang and Shan Shishuai looked at this passage, but they were all stunned.

The fire light shot out for nearly 30 meters, but there was no sign of Yang Lei in this 30-meter passage, and the most puzzling point was that there were no other hatches on both sides of this passage. , is just a straight passage, surrounded by steel walls.

From the moment Yang Lei was captured into the tunnel to the time when Chen Ziyang threw the flammable talisman, at most two or three seconds had passed. And it took only three seconds to cross a distance of more than 100 meters while still struggling. This is too incredible.

After the talisman was completely burned, the passage was once again plunged into darkness.Seeing that there was no danger ahead, Chen Ziyang and Shan Shishuai entered the passage one after another.

Using burning talismans as lighting objects, the two of them did not advance too fast in this passage. Although both of them were eager to find Yang Lei, their safety was more important now. If you accidentally stumbled into something because you were eager to advance, it would be too late to regret it at that time.

After walking through the passage of more than 30 meters, a relatively large warehouse door appeared on the side of the passage.Unlike the hatch in the cabin below the deck, this hatch was actually open. Chen Ziyang saw a few finger-thick bloodstains on the crack of the door, which seemed to be left by a bloody palm. of.

Recalling that the pale hand that grabbed Yang Lei just now seemed to be covered with blood, the two hurriedly opened the hatch that was concealed and walked in.

Behind the door is the cafeteria. There are long steel tables and a handful of steel benches on the floor. The two walked around the cafeteria but did not see Yang Lei and the monster.

The cafeteria is very empty, there should be no place to hide, so Chen Ziyang estimated that if Yang Lei was brought here, the only place he could be taken was the kitchen, but now there is a gap between the kitchen and the cafeteria. The hatch was tightly closed, and there was no way to open it.

At this time, Chen Ziyang's talisman was almost burnt out, and Shuai Shi made a torch with a mop and a barrel of oil in the cafeteria, finally solving the lighting problem.

Seeing that there was no way to find Yang Lei for the time being, Chen Ziyang turned his target back to the coffin nail. The most important thing is to find the reason why the strange thing happened first.

With the light of the torch, the two of them moved forward much faster. In such a narrow place, the light of the fire illuminated every corner without a glance.During the journey to the second floor, Chen Ziyang did not see any traces of other bloody fingers. It seemed that Yang Lei was really caught in the kitchen.

After arriving on the second floor, Chen Ziyang walked towards the room where the coffin nails were placed in his memory. When he passed through several hatches, he stretched out his hand to try it out, and all the hatches on the second floor were also closed. There is no way to open it.

The closer he got to the room where the coffin nails were, the stronger the uneasiness in Chen Ziyang's heart. At this time, Shuai Shi, who was following him, kept shaking his head, looking a little dazed.

"Brother Umbrella, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just feel groggy, and I have tinnitus, as if someone has been shouting in my ears. The noise gave me a very headache." After slapping himself several times vigorously, Shuai Shi looked After regaining consciousness, he gritted his teeth to prevent himself from losing his mind, and followed Chen Ziyang closely.

Arriving outside the room where the coffin nails were stored, Chen Ziyang tried it with all his strength, but there was no sign that the handwheel could be turned, and the hatch was still tightly locked.Then he pressed his face tightly against the round hatch window and looked inside.

Although all the lights of the entire superstructure are extinguished, it looks like a power outage, but the indicators and LCD screens on the instruments in the room are still on, it seems that in order to ensure the safety of the coffin nails and to be able to monitor the magnetic field all the time , Liu Cong switched on the backup power supply on these instruments, which can ensure the operation of the instruments even in the event of a power outage.

The lights from these instruments allowed Chen Ziyang, who was lying on the window, to see clearly what was in the room, but the glass box containing the coffin nails was placed in a relatively far place, and he needed an extremely tricky angle to see it.

He adjusted the angle, and then squeezed his face against the glass. After repeated adjustments, Chen Ziyang was finally able to see the corner of the coffin nail. A very wide crack appeared in the glass case of the coffin nails.

"Sure enough, it's the coffin nails. Why did the box crack?" Although he doesn't know how the magnetic field emitted by the coffin nails will affect people, Chen Ziyang has now confirmed that all of this is related to the coffin nails. It does matter, it is because the box is cracked that the magnetic field from the coffin nails affects the people on board.

But now the hatch is tightly closed, and there is no way to open it at all. Just when Chen Ziyang turned his head and was about to discuss with Shuai Shanshi what to do next, he suddenly saw blood-red eyes. Shuai Umbrella raised the fire ax high and struck at himself.
