Blue Star

After checking the infection situation, Gu Li moved the waste boards on the deck and went down to the cabin.

The warship was too chaotic when it left the port. During the three days of the voyage, he had been suffering from food and Iris headaches. For a while, he forgot to check for infection first.

Put away the bow and crossbow gun in his hand, button up the leather gloves, and knock on the hatch one by one to check for infection.

Fortunately, the people on the upper and lower floors were all the same.The girl who had mutated on the deck before should have been bitten before boarding the ship.

After passing the corner stairs, he went down to the cabin with the largest number of people and the largest accommodation space.Compared with the quietness of the upper floors, this floor can hear noisy crying before getting close.

The hatch was open, and there were children and managers from the third town's nursery department living inside. The number of personnel was the largest on the entire warship.

Teenagers as big as teenagers, babies as young as just a few days old, and many mentally handicapped children who just learned to walk and talk.

Gu Li went into the cabin to meet with the management woman, expressed his purpose, and asked a few older children to help with the inspection.

He saw a child named Ling Han who was carrying a basket on his back. He met him without saying a word, sat quietly in a corner, and slowly fed biscuits soaked in water to the baby lying in the basket.

There were several injured children lying beside Ling Han, but most of them, like Ling Han, didn't seem to have much emotional fluctuations about this horrific disaster.They were calm and calm, and their expressions were different from those of other crying children.

The woman in charge of the children followed Gu Li's gaze and sighed: "They are all children without parents, and they were born from baby pouches by artificial cultivation."

Gu Li frowned, he didn't know much about the situation in the nursery department.

"Ling Han, is Ke Erqi's descendant?"

The woman froze for a moment, then nodded and said: "The other children around Ling Han are also, but I don't know which elders provided the genes."

"Have you done the talent test?" Gu Li asked.

Although the town has been destroyed, and the crystal mine that can stimulate talents has also collapsed, but according to Ling Han's age, the test results should have been obtained several years earlier.

The woman seemed a little hesitant, "This child... is in a special situation, and the result of the talent test is not ideal." She faltered, "Although he has the gene of wizard talent in his body, he can't resonate with any crystal ore. .”

In Kirchli, wizards who cannot resonate with crystal mines are equivalent to ordinary people.But his intuition told Gu Li that this child named Ling Han was definitely no less talented than him.

Even Gu Yu may not be able to keep his body stable under the impact of such a high-frequency magnetic field.

Gu Li looked away, took out a few packs of tightly packed compressed biscuits and handed them to the woman, "Don't come out after twelve o'clock in the evening, close the cabin door. Bermuda River will arrive soon, the mermaid living here..."

He swallowed back the words that mermaids cannibalize people, and changed his words: "I don't like humans."

The woman took the food carefully, thanked her and watched Gu Li leave the cabin.

When he was about to reach the corner stairs, there were a few hurried footsteps behind Gu Li.With the basket on his back, Ling Han hastily grabbed the hem of his clothes.

"Patriarch!" Ling Han lowered his head and said, "I know how to save the people in your cabin."

Gu Li turned his head and didn't make a sound.

Ling Han let go of the hand that was holding his clothes, and tightened the knotted straps of the basket.

"I once raised a dying sea fish, which was discarded by others." He looked up at Gu Li, "Sea fish cannot leave the sea water, especially when they are injured. Sea water is like the air for us humans. If the injured person grows Time soaks in the sea, and the wound will only get worse."

Gu Li's eyes looked very dangerous, as if he would pull out a bow and crossbow gun in the next second and shoot him down.

"Who else knows?"

Ling Han shook his head.Yinghua Zhengli

Gu Li turned around and went upstairs. When he was about to reach the second deck, he lowered his head and said to Ling Han who was standing on the lower floor, "Thank you."

At night, in the quiet cabin, Gu Li sat at the desk and repaired the damaged pocket watch.Many of the loose parts on the table have rusted, and it is impossible for the pocket watch to move again.

On the cabin bed beside him, Iris, who couldn't control his body changes, had already turned back into his main body, with his long and sharp fishtail bent against the cabin wall.The scales on the tail were a bit dry and fried, and the purple toxin spread almost all over the fish's tail, even the blue light dust it secreted was coated with a layer of corrosiveness.

Gu Li counted the time and waited for the several decks of the warship to quiet down.Then he pulled the sheet and wrapped the sleeping Iris in it.

But when he was about to carry the fish, there was a knock on the door outside his cabin.

Mimir, who had already recovered, stood outside the door and hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind to knock on the door when he heard the movement in the cabin.

"Elder Gu Li...I heard about what happened this afternoon." He was brewing emotions, and then said firmly: "Actually, everyone understands you very well and is very grateful to you. Without you, we would have died long ago. "

The cabin was very quiet, Gu Li sat by the bed and did not respond.

"I mean, no matter what decision you make, we will follow you." Mimir rubbed his hands, "Actually, I didn't mean this...I just wanted to apologize to you..."

He cursed silently, sighed, leaning on the cabin door and said, "The words I lost my temper on the aircraft were not intentional. I just saw that the old man was gone, so I thought of my father and brother."

"Actually, I guessed it a long time ago. I have guessed it since the day we left the town. But I just don't believe that they are dead, so I have been deceiving myself to live." His eyes are full of blood, " If I hadn't insisted on continuing to walk in the town at that time, the old man would not have fallen into the canyon... If he could have returned to the town earlier, the patriarch and elders would not have been unable to escape..."

He blushed from crying, and sat down tiredly against the cabin door, "And Xijia, if it wasn't for my cowardice, she wouldn't be bitten by the centipede."

The hatch was opened, and Mimir fell backwards uncontrollably.Looking up with tears in her eyes, she immediately saw Gu Li who was carrying Iris on his back.

He hurriedly wiped away his tears with his sleeve, got up and said: "Elder Gu Li, no, patriarch! I, I have thought a lot these two days, I really..."

Gu Li was helpless, turned Iris on his back up, and said with difficulty: "If you have time to cry here, why don't you help me see if there is anyone on the road."

"Are you not angry with me anymore?!" Mimir's nose was red, and he hurriedly looked to both sides of the aisle to see if anyone was coming.

Iris, who has turned back into the body, is not light, especially the long tail, which dragged on the floor and rubbed off a lot of soft and dry scales.

Gu Li ignored Mimir's child's question and asked, "Is there still water in the lower cabin?"

When leaving the port earlier, the warship tilted and half submerged in the sea, causing a lot of seawater to enter the lower cabins.But after sailing safely, in order to prevent the warship from sinking into the sea, everyone worked together to clean up all the cabins, and I don't know if they can find a place to soak in sea water.

Iris is in very bad condition now, if thrown directly into the sea, it will become food for other creatures at any time.

Mimir ran to the corridor to check, and after confirming that there was no one there, he said in a strong nasal voice: "It's all cleaned up, but it seems that no one has been in the bathroom cabin to clean it up."

The two came forward, one behind the other, and took Iris to the lower cabin under cover.But the flooding situation here seems to be not as good as what Mimir said. Most of the deck is sea water that sways with the warship, and the water level directly reaches the ankle when going down the stairs.

Gu Li laid Iris flat on the aisle, removed the wrapped sheets, and stretched his arms to drag the fish to a place where the flooding was more serious.

Mimir stepped on the sea water in the aisle, frowned and said: "It's strange, when I came down to look at it yesterday, there was no water on the deck. Could it be that the warship shook so hard that all the water in the bathhouse was shaken out?"

Gu Li dragged Iris into the bathhouse, and then jumped into the sunken bathing pool together.He straightened Iris' body so that the fish's head rested on his shoulder.

Although Iris is not afraid of seawater, mermaids are amphibians, so it is better not to let the airway come into contact with seawater in a coma.

After placing Iris, he turned his head to Mimir and said, "Go check the cabin for any leaks."

"Okay, I'll go now."

Mimir stepped on the water on the ground and hurried out of the bathhouse.

Gu Li hugged Iris tightly, squatted down, let the water level submerge his and Iris' necks, and soaked Iris' skin as much as possible.

He filled up the seawater with his palm, and slowly splashed it along Iris' cheek to the top of his head.The fine scales that have been dried and exploded gradually soften until they become smooth.

Iris' body improved after being soaked in sea water, and the purple toxins all over the body also receded to the tail fin at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Iris," he called softly.

Iris put his chin on his shoulders, beat his hands weakly, and half floated underwater with the swaying waves.

After a while, Mimir came in stepping on the seawater, and said with an ugly face: "Patriarch, the cabin is indeed leaking. The gear driving the white wing on the right is broken, and I don't know when the deck was damaged. It's a big hole!"

Gu Li freed one hand to cling to the edge of the pool, "How many lifeboats are there in the cabin on the first floor?"

Mimir scratched his head, he didn't count at all.

Gu Lidao: "Go to the deck and gather everyone, and change to a lifeboat. If there are not enough, dismantle the deck and use it as driftwood."

"Okay, I'll call!"

The white wing on the right was damaged when it was out of the port. Later, the situation was urgent, and the fluorite had to be driven by a biomagnetic field. Perhaps it was a hidden danger left by the forced operation at that time.

Gu Li wiped off the water stains on his face, and adjusted the soaking position with Iris.

Drifting on the sea for the past few days, he was indeed prepared to sink the ship at any time. After all, the warship after the magnetic field shock wave itself was not very strong.It's just that he didn't expect that the speed of the sinking ship was faster than he expected. He thought that he could at least reach the reef waters of Bermuda River first.

The sea water rose rapidly, and he needed to half-squat to submerge the water level above his neck, but within a few minutes he had to stand up to expose his head.

Iris's self-healing ability is getting faster, and the scales on the skin and fish tail surface are slowly rejuvenating.The blood vessels in the neck are bursting, and the muscles in the chest and abdomen are no longer stiff.

Breathing from weak to steady, as long as you support it for a while, you should be able to return to your usual healthy state.

Time passed quickly, and the hull tilted.The left side of the pool exposed a reliable edge, and most of the hatch that originally entered the bathhouse was swallowed by sea water.

He undid his belt and tied Iris' waist and belly to him.Step on the edge of the pool and jump up with the help of the buoyancy of the sea water.Clinging to the damaged deck on the top of the bathhouse with both hands, he and Iris would not be sucked to the bottom by the sinking suction.

Noisy sprinting sounds came from the upper cabin corridor. If the lifeboats can be carried in an orderly manner, everyone should be able to leave the warship within an effective time and take the boat to a safe area.

But obviously, it is difficult for a person who has become a frightened bird to escape calmly.

"The ship is sinking, and there are not enough lifeboats!"

"The baby care department on the third floor hasn't come up yet, don't grab it!"

"Don't rob, everyone, don't rob! Even if there are not enough lifeboats, the decks can be dismantled. No one will survive if you rob them like this!"

Mimir stood in the middle of the deck and howled, but it was a pity that no one would pay attention to the command of an unidentified child.

There was chaos on the deck, looting, abuse, and even being pushed into the sea accidentally.

Mimir hurriedly climbed onto the sail and shouted loudly: "The people on the third floor haven't come up yet, you can't take all the lifeboats away!"

The seawater in the bathhouse was almost submerged to the cabin roof. Gu Li grabbed the damaged deck, and forcefully removed the two planks, and stuck out his breathable head while grabbing the edge of the broken deck.

He untied Iris' belt and tried to climb the third-floor corridor from the bathhouse.But when he was climbing up, there was a sudden suction under the bilge, and he and Iris were all rolled back underwater.

His body sank into the pool uncontrollably, and before he could find something to cling to, the momentum of the spin sent him back to the top of the bathhouse.

Back and forth, he couldn't hold on to Iris, and he couldn't see anything, so he could only look for Iris in the direction of the pried open deck according to the direction of the water flow.

In the darkness, the waist and abdomen were suddenly dragged by a pair of powerful hands.He swallowed a few mouthfuls of seawater, and in time his entire body was pushed out of the flooded bathhouse.
