As three suns appeared in the sky, the sky became a little dazzling, and people had to narrow their eyes when they looked up.
"Climb up and have a look," Boris said, grasping the rope shaking in the air.
One end of the rope is in petru's hand. He pulled back hard and said, "OK, but I'm heavy. You have to help me hold the other end. Don't let go!"
"Don't worry, although you don't like it, Slavic soldiers will never stab people in the back! Moreover, we are fighting for all mankind now, don't we?" Boris said, pulling the rope hard.
Maybe they were too strong. Suddenly they heard a click, and the rope suddenly lengthened. Both of them sat down and almost overturned the boat.
"Can't you be fucking careful?" petru scolded.
"I didn't know the boat would be so weak!" Boris said.
The posts and railings on the ship were crooked, but the rope was firmly hung on it and did not fall down.
Petru grabbed the rope again and pulled it a few times. It didn't move and looked solid.
"Hold on, if I fall down, you'd better catch me." he said, climbed up like a flexible ape, climbed to the side of the ship, turned over the railing, then tied the rope on the intact railing next to him, turned back and said, "you can come up!"
"It's a fucking pirate!"
Boris weighed his skill, and he couldn't compare with climbing alone, so he was a little angry. But when he thought that this was a robber's skill, he didn't know how many cargo ships he had climbed to practice it, he was balanced and even a little disdainful.
He motioned Ivan with his eyes to let him go first. Ivan looked at situ and Aoki and asked, "who will go first?"
Situ and Aoki looked at each other and didn't speak. At the same time, they came over and grabbed a rope with a tacit understanding. Boris got out of the way obediently. They jumped up almost at the same time, pedaling on the boat board like a civet cat. They jumped up a few times, leaving only two ropes dangling in the air.
Boris was stunned and muttered, "have you been a fucking pirate?"
He shook his head, slightly depressed. Ivan came and patted him on the shoulder and said, "we are submarine soldiers. The bottom of the sea is our strength."
Boris felt that he was right and felt a little better.
Ivan looked at Anderson. Anderson couldn't climb the rope because of his leg injury. He said, "you go up. I'll stay here with some ladies."
Suhuilan could have gone up, but neither Mrs. Larry nor Alice could climb up. She didn't want to show off her ability and thought it better to stay here. And she also felt that Anderson's performance was a little abnormal. Although she couldn't tell what was wrong, it was always right to guard against it. Aoki is a person who doesn't bother to think about anything, but she is not. She has been observing and thinking about the recent changes.
Ivan said, "you can stay. If anything happens, you can help. When we go up, we'll see if we can open the dock cabin or put down the gangway."
Then he and Boris climbed up.
There is really no one on the warship. Everything looks very new, but the surface is covered with a layer of powdery things, which will fall off and leave traces when touched by people. The same is true on the deck. Stepping on it is like stepping on the fine and thin sand, leaving clear footprints.
From the deck to the cabin, I didn't encounter any obstacles or see anyone. All the doors were open, but there was no sense of moisture in the room. Instead, it was like entering a dry cave.
Not until they entered the command room did they see a man in a navy uniform sitting in a chair in front of the window facing the bow of the ship.
There is no stain on the glass of the command room window, but it is difficult for you to describe it clean, because it looks not so transparent. You can't see the outside world clearly through it, just like the atomized glass used in the bathroom, but everyone knows that no ship's cab will use atomized glass, let alone a warship.
Although the line of sight is blurred, the sun can still shine in and make the indoor situation clear.
The man was sitting in a chair, and people entering through the hatch could only see behind his side. He leaned against the back of the chair and put his hands on his legs. It was natural and comfortable, as if he was looking at the sparkling light of the sea through the glass in front of him.
"Hello, excuse me!" said petru when he went first.
The man didn't move or answer.
In fact, this is expected. Because the crow has come to explore once, everyone is ready that there are no living people on board. However, even if the corpses were all over the ground, it was expected, and the atmosphere seemed strange to suddenly see such a man in military uniform sitting in a chair.
Petru and Boris should go first, situ and Aoki followed, and Ivan cut off the back with vigilance. When I walked in front of the man, although there were bold guys here, I was startled by the scene in front of me.
Under the clean white military cap, there was a pale, thin and wrinkled face. The muscles on the face contract due to the loss of water, and the skin is close to the bone, forming deep wrinkles, which are permanently fixed on the face. His cheeks sank in, and his eyes were like two deep black holes. He looked obliquely out of the window as if staring at the sky, and his eyes had flown out early and turned into the two more suns in the sky. His arms were naturally placed on his legs. Exposed in the cuffs of his blue military uniform were two white hands like bird claws with no meat and only a layer of skin.
This is a mummy.
It's not too much to describe a crow as a skeleton.
Petru curled his lips and tried to say something, but he didn't say it. He wasn't afraid, he just felt depressed. He always thought there was something wrong with this place, but he didn't know what was wrong.
Situ stretched out his hand and gently pinched the man's collar. The cloth on the collar was magically pinched down by him and became dirt between his fingers.
He raised his hand and said, "strange." he blew a breath gently, and the ash on his fingers flew away.
Aoki looked down and saw the name plate on the right chest of his military uniform. He saw the English word "Halsey" written on it, and then remembered the Navy Lieutenant Colonel he saw on Lapa island. He remembered that it was a handsome and masculine face. At that time, he stood with the beautiful Xia Xiaoxiao and didn't seem abrupt at all.
However, as soon as I saw the mummy in front of me, the impression of that face blurred, and then I couldn't find the face in my memory, only the mummy.
Ivan and Boris began to check the instruments in the command room, but found that all the instruments could not be started and the circuit could not be connected.
"It looks like the fuel has run out. We have to go to the power room and boiler room," Ivan said.
"Well, look for weapons by the way," Boris said, and warned petru, "Hey, red beard, the helicopter outside is mine. Don't try to drive away secretly."
"Don't worry, I don't want to fall from the sky. The steel plates of ships can corrode like that. I'm sure the helicopter has long been useless," petru said
"Don't think such a trick can fool me!" Boris said.
"No, he's right." situ said suddenly, "the plane can't open. You don't have to dream of restoring the power of the ship. Go to the tool cabin to find something useful. If you can open the hatch there."
"Why?" Boris asked puzzled.
"Look at this Lieutenant Colonel Halsey --" situ pointed to the corpse on the chair with his scepter, "at least he has been sitting on this chair for hundreds of years, maybe a thousand years!"
