This Damned Thirst for Survival

Dinner in the downtown area.

After choosing what they want to eat, Ye Xun and the others just sat down, and the young woman who had been called to the stage to be humiliated and his husband walked over and sat with them.

The husband’s eyes were red, and he said gratefully: “We’ve been searching for a few days before we found you... It was you who helped me protest with me on the night of the prom? I really thank you so much.”

This couple are newlyweds. The man is called Li Wei and the woman is He Yao. They boarded the boat because they had no money to buy a house.

He Yao is a beautiful but virtuous woman. She kept wiping her tears silently. Li Wei held her in regret and wished to slap herself, "I shouldn't take you there for the dance that night."

He Yao patted his hand, "No way, if we don't participate in other activities on the boat, even if we successfully disembark, we won't get enough money to buy the house we fancy."

Li Wei got bored, and said with a sigh of anger, "I'm the one who's not promising, I'm sorry."

After the two of them calmed down, Zhuo Zhongqiu coughed his throat and asked, "Where do you know that you can earn money on board?"

Li Wei wiped his face, "The two of us work in a bathing center. She learns massage, and I do pedicures for customers. One day at work, we met a wealthy customer, and he talked to me. After two sentences, I gave me two tickets, saying that as long as I board this ship, I can make a lot of money."

"We thought it was the guests who played with us," He Yao whispered, "but on the Internet, these two ferry tickets are worth thousands. We thought about it all night, gritted our teeth, and asked for half. The month’s holiday was on the ship."

"It's strange to say," Li Wei turned to tell her, "I accidentally cut a customer's foot when I pedicured him that day. I thought I would be deducted from my salary, and I was frightened for a long time. The boss didn't feel the pain, and didn't even mention it. After giving me the ferry ticket, he hurried away."

While they were talking, several waiters appeared pushing a trolley and placed a bowl of fish soup on the table of everyone.

The fish soup is mellow, and there is a piece of fish in each bowl. Wenren turned the soup a few times with a spoon, and the delicious scent poured into the tip of his nose.

He suddenly remembered what Lisa had said to him, "Don't drink fish soup."

Wen Renlian paused and whispered to the people around him, "Remember what I told you before? Don't use fish soup."

Zhuo Zhongqiu nodded and whispered these words to another person.

Lu Yi sat next to the couple, and when he was reminded, he pushed the fish soup aside. The couple picked up the bowl without precaution, and Lu Yi stopped them, "Don't drink."

Li Wei held the bowl, smelling the umami in the bowl and couldn't stop the excretion of saliva. He wondered: "Why?"

There was a team in Lu hesitated and couldn't speak.

He didn't know why, but Wen Renlian said that there must be a reason.

Seeing that he couldn't tell the reason, the couple couldn't resist the temptation of the fragrance, and took a sip after adding the fish soup to their mouths.

Kuang Zheng silently checked the contents of the soup with a spoon.

In addition to the fish and spices, there are some transparent things in the soup that are similar to the flesh.

What's this?

He raised the spoon and put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, and the mouth-watering scent emanated from the flesh.

This bowl of fish soup can be so fragrant, these pulps should be the key. Even if Kuang Zheng is not gluttonous, he feels hungry after smelling the smell.

The Li Wei and his wife on the side had finished two bowls of fish soup. They smacked their mouths, reminiscing about the taste of the fish soup, "This soup tastes so good, there are no thorns in the fish, and it makes people want to eat it. "

Looking uncomfortable, Li Wei's eyes lit up when he saw the soup in front of Lu Yi, "Aren't you going to eat it?"

Lu Yi swallowed and shook his head firmly, "I won't eat."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Wei stretched out his hand and took his soup away. Before Lu Yi stopped him, he took a sip against the bowl and said vaguely: "Then give it to me."

After dinner, they watched others eat in full swing. The six people ate some bread without knowing their taste, and returned to the room.

After closing the door carefully, Ye Xun asked first: "Wenren, what's in the soup?"

Wen Ren shook his head, "I don't know what's in the soup, this sentence was told to me by the captain's daughter."

Zhuo Zhongqiu dragged his chin for a moment and thought, "We still have to listen to what the captain's daughter said, so we don't want to eat it. Anyway, there is no shortage of this bowl of fish soup."

She looked at Kuang Zheng with some hesitation and asked: "Kuang Zheng, what did you find?"

"The scent of fish soup is very strong and may be addictive." Kuang Zheng said uncertainly.

Speaking of the fragrance, Lu Yi's stomach rang, and he said bitterly: "The taste is too domineering, I can't eat anything just now because of the smell of fish soup."

"Forbearance," Wen Renlian took out a packet of instant noodles and handed it to him, "eat this to relieve greed."

Lu Yi didn't want to eat, but couldn't bear to be hungry, so he soaked the instant noodles. As soon as the scent came out, the others also leaned in. One person took two bites of the instant noodles, and there was no soup left.

Lu Yi was about to cry, "When are these bitter days a head?"

Late at night, they returned to their respective rooms. In the middle of the night, Seror slept soundly on the bed, when Kuang Zheng suddenly heard two footsteps stop in front of their door.

After a few seconds of silence, the door lock was opened with a click.

Kuang Zheng's hand under the quilt clenched into a fist.

He maintained a steady breathing, and the two people outside the door walked gently into the room, one walked to Kuang Zheng's bed, and the other walked to Serel.

Kuang Zheng's forehead was swept by some machine, and someone whispered: "No fever."

Immediately afterwards, the man took a look at Kuang Zheng's eyelids again, shining it with a lamp, and said, "The eyeballs have not changed."

In the gap where his eyelids were briefly opened, Kuang Zheng recognized this person as if he was one of the crew members on the ship.

Another person replied: "This one has no symptoms, let's go."

After a while, the room returned to silence.

Kuang Zheng waited for a while before opening his eyes. He first got out of bed to check the safety of Seyol, who slept with messy hair and looked extremely happy. After confirming that he was okay, Kuang Zheng walked to the door and looked out through the cat's eyes.

Under the lights of the corridor, two crew members wearing dust-proof clothing entered the civilian's room one by one, and occasionally moved a civilian out and placed it on the ground.

These civilians seemed to have fallen asleep, and there was no response to such a big movement. They flushed, breathing quickly, as if they had a fever.

Soon, this piece was checked again. The two crew members dragged the people in the corridor away, and Kuang Zheng also saw Li Wei and He Yao among the people being towed.

Li Wei's face was even more scary, and his chest undulated violently.

The two crew members towed away dozens of people. After the last one was towed away, it was already an hour later.

Kuang Zheng loosened his stiff muscles, he put a glass in front of the door and sat next to Seror to guard him until dawn. After the sound of other people's activities outside, Kuang Zheng awakened Seror.

At breakfast, the six people met. Fortunately, none of them was taken away by the crew.

Ye Xun's first sentence after seeing them said: "Last night's fish soup was put on sleeping pills."

There are many more questions before them.

Why did the crew give them sleeping pills? Where did you take those people?

There were more than 20 people missing. Not only did they correct a few of them, but others discovered something was wrong. The people around him disappeared silently, which is extremely frightening. The crew member on duty in the restaurant was Cheng Li. People kept coming to ask him where those people were. He was too lazy to answer at first, and finally got annoyed by being asked. Infection, we moved the sick person to another place."

"Where is the other place?" a girl asked anxiously.

Cheng Li cursed impatiently, "The bottom deck, all in the bottom deck!"

Some people can't help it anymore, "What's your attitude?"

Cheng Li smiled coldly, "If you have the ability, please complain to me."

The friction between the civilian area and the crew quickly spread to the rich area.

Jiang Luo and Ge Zhu looked at each other, planning to find a chance to see the friends in the civilian area.

The day passed calmly. In the evening, Jiang Luo and the two went to the auction hall and sat at the back of the crowd.

It is the captain who presides over this auction. Before the auction, the captain gave an affirmative time with a smile on his face, “Three days later is the most suitable time to eat blood eels. The first batch of diners only had ten people. We did not use the bidding format on the open, but by Dear guests write down their names on the paper and the prices they can afford, and we will choose the top ten from high to low."

This method is quick and simple, but it is a great psychological torture for the rich. Jiang Luo and Ge Zhu didn't care much, they had no money at all.

When writing the price, the two of them directly voted on the blank roll.

The captain led the crew to sort out the price list. Ten minutes later, the captain returned to the stage with the list: "Congratulations to these ten gentlemen and ladies for the qualification to taste blood eels in three days."

"Mr. Zhao Juezhi, Miss Yin Na..."

Every time the captain uttered a name, the faces of the wealthy who hadn't read it paled. Jiang Luo almost watched the show with melon seeds. He told Ge Zhu, "Look at the one in the first row, your little face is yellow."

By the time the ninth name was read, many rich and powerful people were already depressed, and others raised their hands unwillingly and said, "Captain, can we re-quote?"

The captain glanced at him apologetically: "I'm sorry, but the list cannot be changed after selection. But you can wait for the second batch of blood eels to taste, and the effect of the second batch is also very good."

He then read the last name: "...Mr. Zhong Wei."

Before Jiang Luo realized who "Zhong Wei" was, Ge Zhu turned his head to look at him in amazement, "How could it be you?"
