This Damned Thirst for Survival

At nine o'clock in the evening, in the communication room.

When Jiang Luo came, there was only Daniel in the communication room. The young man was absent-mindedly fiddling with the equipment in front of him. After hearing the sound of footsteps, he immediately turned his head and said in surprise, "Sir, you are here."

Jiang Luo, who had changed his clothes, took off his coat and put it on his arm, walked over to Daniel and sat down. He propped his head casually, his black hair slid down on the tabletop like running water, his eyes seemed to have shards of silver light hidden in his eyes, and he smiled, "Good evening."

Daniel's face blushed slightly: "Good evening."

Daniel was very uncomfortable in front of Jiang Luo, so Jiang Luo asked Daniel to introduce him to the equipment in the communication room. Daniel spoke very carefully, but his eyes kept peeking at Jiang Luo. Jiang Luo didn't care and tried to contact the police boat without a trace, but he saw Daniel wiping his mouth constantly at him.

Jiang Luo knew that he looked very good-looking, but he wasn't so drooling.

He turned his head and said nonchalantly: "Daniel, when do you need to be on duty?"

With the cup in his hand, Daniel took a sip of water under his gaze, "I will be on duty until twelve o'clock, sir, are you sleepy?"

Jiang Luo always felt that his gaze was spinning around his arm and neck. He tried to raise his hand. The smooth skin of his forearm was tight and glowing like a cold jade under the light.

Daniel swallowed again, staring straight at Jiang Luo's arm.

Looks very hungry.

When Jiang Luo came to the communication room for a short while, Daniel was about to finish drinking a large glass of water. He glanced at the glass in Daniel's hand, "Are you very thirsty?"

Daniel smiled embarrassedly, "Yes."

Jiang Luo put on his coat calmly, and gave up the radio for the time being, "It's getting late, I'm indeed a little sleepy. Daniel, I'll go first, see you tomorrow."

Daniel showed a look of reluctance, and said, "Sir, you can stay a while."

Without waiting for Jiang Luo's answer, he got up and dodged and said, "I'll get a glass of water... Sir, would you please wait until I come back?"

It's like someone handed food to his mouth when he was hungry. Jiang Luo didn't expect that there would be such a good thing. He raised his brows and agreed with a smile. Daniel hurriedly walked past him. After waiting for no one in the communication room, Jiang Luo started to turn on the radio equipment, but there was a busy tone on how to connect to the other side. How could this be? Jiang Luo leaned forward and lifted the communication equipment to have a look. The cables at the back had already been unplugged.

Jiang Luo's face turned dark, and he hurriedly left the communication room with a calm face.

On both sides of the communication room is a row of workshops and a dormitory for staff on duty.

When Jiang Luo passed the dormitory of the staff on duty, he found that the door of the dormitory was not closed, but a gap was exposed.

It was pitch black in the gap, and a familiar smell of fish pounced from the inside, which immediately attracted Jiang Luo's attention. He looked into the dormitory, snoring came out, Jiang Luo frowned, and quietly walked into the dormitory.

There is only one person sleeping on the upper bunk in the dormitory.

After a few seconds, his eyes adjusted to the darkness and he could see the layout of the room clearly. In the dormitory, two upper and lower bunks are placed against the left wall. On the right wall are two desks. Under the faint moonlight, one can see clearly that there are lamps and a diary on the desks.

The sleeping person was on the upper bunk next to the door, covered with a quilt from head to toe, only the snoring sound surrounded the room loudly.

Jiang Luo walked to the table lightly and opened the diary.

On the first page of the diary, the words "Navigation Diary" are written.

Jiang Luo flipped it down. The first few articles were all normal work records, and Jiang Luo quickly scanned them. But as soon as the pages of the diary were turned over, Jiang Luo had a look. He read the content for a few seconds, frowning, and quickly flipping through the rest of the paper, only to find that each one is the same word.

"So hungry, so hungry, so hungry..."

What does it mean?

Why does the first half of a normal diary only have the word "so hungry" in the back?

Jiang Luo couldn't do it, but suddenly, he suddenly stopped.

Because he suddenly noticed something wrong.

I don't know when the snoring stopped.

Jiang Luo turned his head holding his breath, and saw the person who had been sleeping on the upper bunk next to the door sitting up at some point. He was covered with a white quilt, his face was not exposed, but his body turned around, facing Jiang Luo's direction.

Jiang Luo's heart beat quickly. He was cautiously preparing to walk to the door, but another footstep came from outside the door.

Flicking inside and out, Jiang Luo cursed secretly in his heart, and immediately observed what could hide people in the house, and finally squatted down and rolled to the ground, hiding under the bunk bed.

As soon as he hid, he saw a pair of feet come in through the door.

The crew's uniforms and shoes were the same, but Jiang Luo recognized that they were Daniel's shoes. Because there were a few drops of engine oil on it, Daniel got it when he was explaining the equipment to him in the communication room.

Daniel's voice sounded, "Sangya, have you seen anyone leaving from the door."

A voice came from the bed above Jiang Luo: "It should be, I'm asleep, but I smell a fresh smell."

This voice is very strange, it seems that there is mucus in his throat, and he can't speak clearly.

Daniel's feet walked from the door to the table. He rustled as if undressing, "Get up quickly, it's time for you to work soon."

Sanya said: "I know."

The bed on Jiang Luo shook suddenly. It should be the person on the upper bunk getting out of the bed. According to the frequency of the bed shaking, it is enough to show that this person is strong.

Daniel went to the lower bunk and sat down, still undressing, Jiang Luo's breathing was flat, trying his best not to make any movement.

But Daniel's movements suddenly stopped. He seemed to sniff in the air, and said strangely: "The smell of people in the dormitory."

Sanya said: "I can smell it too, I thought I smelled it wrong."

Jiang Luo's eyelids twitched.

In just a few words of dialogue, he can be sure that these two people are not human. But the current situation did not allow Jiang Luo to think too much. Jiang Luo clenched his fists, his whole body tensed, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

He stared at the outside of the bed, and the next second, he met a pair of white fish eyes.

A deformed human-like and fish-like head bent over and looked at the bottom of the bed, mucus dripping from its head, just staring in the direction of Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo: "..."

He stiffened, reflexively trying to get out of the bed. But the next moment, he found that the eyes of these fishes seemed to be invisible.

The monster sniffed his nose and murmured: "The smell under the bed is the heaviest."

It was Daniel's voice, but his voice also became strange at this time. The throat also seemed to contain mucus. When the vocal cords trembled, the muscles of the throat were driven, and the mucus dripped faster.

It reached out and touched under the bed. Its hands were still human-like. Jiang Luo drilled deeper under the bed, avoiding his fingers. Daniel didn't touch anything, its terrifying fish face showed a confused look, and another monster said dissatisfiedly: "I'm coming."

While they were talking, Jiang Luo had crawled under the other bed.

He did not continue to hide under the bed, but crawled out of the bed without making a sound, and stood up quietly.

The moonlight illuminates the two monsters lying beside the bed.

One is a black fish with limbs. The whole body is smooth, with eyes protruding from the sides of the head. It looks like a mixture of humans and fishes. The mucus drips on the body, which is extremely horrible and disgusting.

Daniel's appearance is also terrifying. Its head has become like a fish. Except for the head, the rest is still normal.

The stench of fish came from them, and Jiang Luo resisted his nausea desire and stretched out his hand to support the bed. But a hand of liquid stuck to the bed sheet.

He turned his head and saw that there was a lot of mucus like this on every bed.

None of the crew members living in this house are human.

"Daniel, there seems to be nothing under the bed."

At this time, one of the monsters said: "Did you bring back humanity when you came back?"

"I haven't eaten people yet," Daniel punched the ground, angrily. "When I went back, the people were gone."

"Let’s bear it," Sonya said, "Our work is tired and unpleasant. It’s not yet our turn to eat meat. After the small fish hatch, give the female fish to the rich to eat. Those who raise fish The utensils are useless. We can eat them all. We hope to successfully hatch more fish this year. Our fish eggs are too difficult to survive, and we only like to grow in human stomachs."

"You can’t hatch a blood eel that can survive out of a hundred fry, and there is only one female out of a hundred blood eels. The common people’s body nutrients are still not enough. Hear from them, the fry have not hatched successfully, but the utensils are already there. Many dead, really useless human beings."

Jiang Luo listened silently, the information contained in just a few words almost made his brain hurt. He breathed lightly and tried his best to reduce his sense of existence.

There was a gust of wind blowing outside the window.

The two monsters suddenly raised their heads and sniffed in the direction of Jiang Luo, "It's really strange, the smell came from there again."

"Yes," said Daniel's mouth. He wiped his mouth and swallowed very hungry. "It smells like a human being."

Jiang Luo felt bad, and the next moment two monsters approached him. Jiang Luo quickly took off the zipper on his jacket and threw it into another corner. As soon as the zipper fell to the ground, the two mermaid monsters rushed into the corner.

There was nothing there, and it didn't affect their fierce bite. Jiang Luo took the opportunity to run past them, opened the door and ran out.

The monster turned his head and looked in the direction of the door, his saliva slipped from his saliva, "Humans have escaped."

They followed the smell and rushed out the door.

Jiang Luo hurried to the deck in a hurry. It was late at night, there was no light on the deck, and no one. The pale moonlight shone on the sea, sparkling.

The humanoid monster behind him is extremely fast and has a keen sense of smell. They kept chasing Jiang Luo, the sweat on Jiang Luo's forehead was secreted, and when he ran past a corner, a small hand suddenly stretched out from the shadowy land and grabbed Jiang Luo's clothes.

Jiang Luo looked down and saw that it was the captain's daughter Lisa. Lisa took his hand and ran away in the other direction. Jiang Luo thought for a while and ran with her.

Soon, Lisa took him to a closed door. Jiang Luo and Lisa opened the door together and got inside.

The moment he walked into the door, Jiang Luo felt that he had stepped on the sticky liquid.

His face changed, Lisa tugged at him, and whispered: "Brother, don't talk. You lie down and roll on the ground. After you get the mucus, they won't smell you."

Jiang Luo followed the instructions, and then stood by the door holding Lisa, and looked out through the cat's eyes vigilantly.

Lisa obediently lay on his shoulders without saying a word.

Outside the door, a skinless mermaid monster dragged a slime past the door. It kept sniffing the air in front of the door, and after standing in front of the door for a few seconds, he hesitated to leave.

Jiang Luo breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart. He sat down by the door, wrapped Lisa by his side, and asked in a low voice, "Lisa, where is this? How do you know that you can avoid the monster if you are covered with mucus?"

Lisa grabbed her finger and was silent for a while before she said: "Brother, this is my father's room."

She looked up at Jiang Luo, and said in fear: "He doesn't know why he has become a terrible look, and sometimes he drools at me. Only when I hide here, he seems to be unable to see. My look."
