"Good...bye." Miss Volper waved sadly and could only let the white wolf leave.
The three people lowered their heads and fled from Kubale Street as if they were running for their lives. They only slowed down after they had walked a long way and reached a safe area.
"This kind of place is really disgusting!" Tianhuo suddenly spoke, gritting his teeth.
"It is said that there are such stores in Dongguo, and they are relatively formal. The ones in Yuegang are too messy." Ina couldn't help but say something.
"Is there a definition of formal or informal? How do you judge it?" White Wolf asked curiously.
The night covered Aina's red face. She realized that she had exposed knowledge that she shouldn't have, so she quickly shook her head: "I don't know, I was just talking nonsense."
Bai Lang naturally had no doubts. How could Miss Ina, who always blushed shyly, know such a thing?
But having said that, I really learned a lot today. There must be more than one place like this on Terra, but they were all hidden away, while Yuegang put everything out in the open.
White Wolf turned around and looked at the street they left for the last time. In the flashing neon lights, she vaguely saw the half-naked girl in revealing clothes on the billboard, the petite Volper in a seductive pose, and the muscular film showing his upper body...
She thought of the small bag of 'tea' in her pocket and felt mixed emotions for a moment. Texas was right. Decadence and sin were still flowing in Yuegang's blood. The city had only put on a gorgeous new outfit on the surface.
Volume 5: Chapter 5: Upper Deck of the Airship
That night, before going to bed.
White Wolf and Aina accompanied Skyfire in a series of verbal attacks on certain immoral industries.
After satisfying their desire to talk, the three of them fell into silence at the same time, and then everyone went to bed tacitly.
In the second half of the night, the vibration of the airship woke them up from their deep sleep.
The whole room was shaking. The apples on the corner of the table rolled to the ground. The sound of the howling wind and raindrops hitting the outer wall of the airship reached the ears through the thick special metal shell.
Bai Lang reactively recalled the aircraft accident she had experienced. In the darkness, her face turned pale and her heart beat uneasily.
She got up from the bed, told Tianhuo and Aina not to run around, and then went out to find out what was going on.
In the corridor of the airship, someone left the cabin with the same purpose as her. They nodded to each other tacitly, held on to the wall, and went down to the service floor where the restaurant was located.
Many passengers have gathered here, some of them even came here in a panic wrapped in pajamas, and everyone is showing signs of anxiety. In front of the service desk, the flight attendant is loudly explaining the abnormalities encountered by the airship.
"Dear passengers, there is no need to worry. This is just an ordinary bad weather. This is normal. According to statistics, on average, there will be two or three weather-affected situations for every 100 trips."
"Our weather personnel have predicted that our ship will be out of the storm in about half an hour. Everyone can return to the cabin and wait quietly. Once again, there is no need to panic. Our ship has the best safety measures, and the captain is an expert with 20 years of emergency experience. Everything is under control."
However, the panicked people were not willing to leave. They probably wanted to wait until the weatherman's words took effect before they would feel at ease. White Wolf was worried about Aina and Tianhuo, so he hurried back after making sure that what he encountered was not a natural disaster storm.
As soon as she entered the door, her two anxious companions asked her about the situation. White Wolf hid her worries and tried her best to explain the matter as a common problem.
Due to the trust between them, Aina and Tianhuo quickly relaxed, leaving Bailang alone, who appeared calm on the surface but was actually suffering with great worry.
About half an hour later, the shaking of the airship stopped and the sound of the wind outside was almost inaudible. Bai Lang finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Tianhuo and Aina, and they had already fallen asleep again.
She closed her eyes and tried to rest, but found that she couldn't fall asleep at all.
Ever since she experienced the aircraft accident, she has more or less suffered from PTSD. Coupled with the stimulation she just encountered, as soon as she closed her eyes, she saw the scene of the accident. The fear and screams of the passengers in the aircraft lingered for a long time.
She stayed in darkness until dawn.
In the morning, the shaking caused by the storm began to occur intermittently again, but the passengers were no longer worried after what they had experienced last night. They just complained about the damn weather and just lived their lives as usual.
Bai Lang herself was greatly affected. Last night's insomnia made her in a very bad mental state, and the continuous shaking made her have a slight motion sickness reaction.
Her stomach began to go against her body, and she could only eat a little at breakfast and lunch.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the airship finally got rid of the abnormal air mass again, and everything became calm.
The staff on the ship announced to everyone: Due to the storm, the airship deviated from the original route, so the arrival at the final destination Chernobyl will be delayed by one day. As compensation, the restaurant will be open to all passengers free of charge in the next few days, and high-quality champagne will be given away.
This generous compensation silenced most of the passengers' complaints, and everyone was happy to take this opportunity to try the high-end cuisine prepared by the restaurant. White Wolf's motion sickness symptoms were alleviated by the evening, and he barely ate half of his usual amount of food.
After dinner, Aina and Tianhuo stayed in the room to study meteorological issues. Although it was a subject that neither of them was good at, they could still argue with each other until they were red in the face.
In the past, Bai Lang would definitely be happy to join in, regardless of whether she understood it or not, it would be fun to think about it together. But today, her condition was too bad and she really didn't have the energy to discuss.
Just then, the airship broadcast the news of the deck opening normally, so she went out for a walk alone.
Not many people went to the deck today. Perhaps everyone was still concerned about the previous storm, so they were reluctant to go to the open deck.
This is good, White Wolf thought, she doesn’t like crowded places.
She walked to the side of the ship and looked down. The boundless sea was rippling with tranquil silver waves under the moonlight. It was a gentle sea, but if yesterday's storm really caused an accident, more than 200 people on the ship would have been buried in this gentle sea.
Someone was coming towards her.
White Wolf felt a headache. Victoria was really different. Whenever she appeared somewhere alone, there was a high probability that someone would come up to her and chat with her confidently. This situation was rarely encountered in Columbia, Ursus, and Longmen.
In this regard, she has summed up a set of mature countermeasures.
She will first stare at the person walking towards her, which means "I have noticed you", and then walk away without looking back. A normal person would feel frustrated at this time and would not continue to chase after her.
The same is true today.
She successfully got rid of a possible entanglement, but what next? Leave the deck and go back?
No.
She was in a very bad mood right now and just wanted to get some fresh air outside. She didn't want to go into the cabin early.
Her eyes were fixed on the buildings higher up on the deck. She only needed to go up along the stairs on the side. The view from the upper floors would definitely be wider, and there would be no one to disturb her.
Because every passenger was warned that the staff workrooms were located on the top level of the airship and only the ship's staff could enter.
Bailang thought of a small loophole: wouldn't it be okay if she didn't enter the workshop?
Just find a place where no one will disturb you and watch the sea quietly. If you are really discovered by the crew, you can just come down. This should not be considered a violation.
Although he was convinced of the "legality" of his actions, White Wolf still chose a time when no one else was paying attention and took the opportunity to quickly slip up.
What surprised Bai Lang was that the top level of the airship was so quiet, so quiet that it was a little abnormal. In her opinion, since this was the crew's working area, there should always be some movement even if there were few people.
But the actual situation was that the doors of all the work cabins on the upper level were wide open, but there was no sound at all.
Where did all the crew go?
She walked forward and saw the 'Captain's Lounge' near the portside. The door was also wide open, but there was no movement.
too weird.
The passengers on the deck were coming and going, gathering together and communicating with each other, all looking completely normal, but the working floor, which was only separated by a flight of stairs, was deathly silent.
Volume 5: Chapter 6: Man-Made Disasters
Where have all the people gone?
Looking at the empty workshop, White Wolf suddenly remembered the story of the ghost ship. During the day, the captain and sailors disguised themselves as normal people. When night fell, they would transform into ghosts again and command the ship to sail into the thick fog where they would be lost forever.
Fantasy is fantasy, reality is not a story. White Wolf knew very well that sailors existed. The night before, she saw those people in blue uniforms holding skewers, talking and laughing as they went up the stairs on the deck.
Moreover, she was on an airship. Although she was at sea and encountered a storm, an airship is different from a ship. With the help of modern positioning facilities, it would be incredible to get lost in a thick fog.
She thought of a reason: it was just past dinner time and the crew might have gone to the restaurant downstairs to eat.
This reason is not very convincing.
Just imagine, it would be very strange if all the crew members of the airship left at the same time without leaving anyone on duty.
Never mind, I’m not here to study airship management, White Wolf thought. She scouted along the edge of the airship and found a secluded corner on the outside side of the captain’s lounge.
That's it.
From this corner, she can clearly hear any movement nearby, and she can immediately notice when the crew members return.
A dark joke quietly appeared in her mind:
It's impossible that these crew members will never come back. If that happens, she would be a little panicked.
She sat down in the corner, her back against the metal cabin, raised her head, looked at the moon and the sea, while paying attention to the movements behind her, she was in a practiced daze.
The so-called skilled daze refers to Miss White Wolf's personal specialty: she can quickly enter her own little fantasy world, come up with all kinds of fantastic ideas, and never get tired of it.
After an unknown amount of time, her head tilted and hit the hard cabin with a bang. The sudden feeling of falling made her sober up a little.
She remembered that she wanted to "monitor" the movements of the crew, but for some reason, she almost fell asleep here. At this moment, even though she had opened her eyes, a strong sense of sleepiness still covered her heart.
I seem to be sleeping~
Her eyelids were drooping.
No, I can't sleep here. She vaguely thought of an important thing. The captain will activate the high-speed flight mode of the airship in the second half of the night. It may be dangerous to stay in such a place.
It's time to go back.
She put her right hand down, supporting the cabin, and tried to stand up, but she tried twice in a row, and each time she suddenly felt her arm go limp at the last moment, and the action failed.
The extreme sleepiness made her feel extremely weak. Her breathing became shallow and she didn't have any strength in her body.
Is it because of yesterday’s insomnia?
That's impossible. After all, she is a Terran with an incredibly good physical condition. A little insomnia is not enough to make her become like this.
She pulled herself together and tried to stand up again with all her might, but her brain was suddenly struck by a strange fatigue, her feet slipped, and she fell to the ground like a limp rag doll.
She fell on the metal cabin but didn't feel any pain. The moment she fell and lay on the ground, she almost closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Something is wrong. Something is wrong. There must be something wrong.
Ask for help, yes, find a way to ask for help!
Her ears suddenly caught some unclear words. The voice was nearby, very close. She remembered that there was a captain's lounge next to the corner where she was, and the voice should have come from there.
opportunity!
If she just made some noise, the people in the captain's room would find her, and then, would she be saved?
She had a feeling that she no longer had the strength to shout out loud, so she could only clench her weak fists and hope to knock on the metal cabin. At this moment, she heard the voice from the captain's room again. Perhaps because she was trying hard to concentrate, the voice was clearer this time.
"It was a small accident. A few people didn't eat the food on the ship, but it's not a big problem. Brothers took a little effort to control them and fed them the medicine."
"Yes, as we said before, tie them up first and gather them in the warehouse on the bottom floor. Pick out the young and good-looking ones and lock them up in a separate place. Tell the brothers to be careful when they deal with them. The people in Yuegang Club are very picky, and any small flaw will affect the price."
"Boss, I understand this."
"Well, I trust you to do the job. Remember to remind the brothers to tighten their belts. We all know the rules of our mafia. Anyone who does something without permission will be thrown off this airship."
"Hey, boss, you have to give us guys a clear idea of when we can start. We can't just sit there and watch with envy every day."
"Tomorrow, after we pick out the goods from Yuegang, let the brothers play with the rest."
"Okay, that's all you need to say. I'll go check it out first. Some of these guys are clumsy and if no one is watching, they might do something bad."
'Go ahead. '
Hearing this, White Wolf's heart felt as if it had sunk into an ice cellar. She had once heard Texas describe the scum in the Syracuse Mafia. The principles these people followed had nothing to do with humanity.
After a flurry of footsteps, the conversation resumed.
"How's it going, Captain Claus? It's pretty neat, isn't it? I told you it's the right thing to do with our Mafia."
"Ahem, you're right, the money we agreed on..."
"Don't worry, the Mafia is very trustworthy, and you won't lose a penny. In a week at most, the newspaper will publish the news that the Z403 airship crashed into the sea after encountering a storm, and all the crew members on the ship were killed. Then, as the captain, you can take the money, hide your identity and live a happy life somewhere else. I'm really envious. I think Colombia is not bad, and the rich people there live comfortably."
"It's all thanks to you. By the way, you hid on the bottom floor last night. You really suffered. The conditions in the captain's room are better. Why don't you rest here tonight?"
"Hey, you have some vision. Let's go. The brothers are busy. Do you want to go and take a look?"
'You are welcome.'
The voices behind gradually faded away, and the white wolf sat on the ground silently with a deathly pale face.
Man-made disasters are often worse than natural disasters!
Miss Tianhuo’s words yesterday are still fresh in my mind: It is very lucky that the airship can temporarily dock.
A bitter smile appeared on the white wolf's lips.
The captain colluded with the mafia and docked at Yuegang, allowing these evil guys to secretly enter the airship at night.
The crew members are not at their posts, and I'm afraid they have all been controlled.
What should I do? How can I save Aina and Tianhuo? How can I save the people on the ship? How can I save myself?
The reason why she didn't lie down immediately was very clear. She felt uncomfortable during the day, ate less, and was less affected by the medicine.
But was this meaningful? Although he was still conscious, he was too sleepy to even stand up, let alone concentrate on using Originium techniques.
