"Shhh," an old sailor at the front carefully searched things at this time, this ship was too weird for them, they didn't know what to do with the weirdness,
"There are charred corpses everywhere, it's so pitiful," the first mate looked at the deck, there were various pieces of black charcoal, because of the fire, after the human body was charred, it shrank a lot, because the water was evaporated Now, the shape becomes unusually strange,
"It's too weird for us," said the first mate,
"Mate, shall we open the bilge door?" a sailor asked with a rifle in his hand,
"The hatch seems to be sealed from the outside," said the sailor,
"En," the first officer looked at the surrounding situation,
"Let's open it and see what we can find, and explain our current situation," said the first mate,
"Crash," said the sailor with a thud with the butt of his gun, and the sealed hatch was flung open, and the fire made everything crunchy,
"Crash," said the sailor, pushing the door, and it fell down,
"Torches," said the sailor, stepping back, the dust was everywhere,
"Bring the torches," the sailor shouted loudly. Immediately, some people fetched the torches. The sailor and a few others lighted the torches and formed a small team to slowly enter the hold.
There were several charred corpses at the bottom of the stairs in the bilge. These corpses were already used to them, but the person who entered behind stepped on a corpse and slipped on his feet, because it was covered with burnt oil. , terrified in my heart, I yelled loudly,
"Hoo," exhaled the first sailor,
"There are dead people everywhere," said the sailor,
"The fire has scorched these," said the sailor, glancing at his surroundings with his torch,
"Well," said the first mate who came down looking at the miserable situation,
"This is simply not a place for people to stay," the sailor said. Through the on-site inspection, the situation here is obvious. The entire bottom deck of people was sealed off, and then the fire burned everyone, and their limbs were all damaged. Maintaining the miserable situation at the last moment before their interim, seeing such a miserable situation, everyone present felt very frightened,
"I don't even want to stay at this moment," said the first mate,
"Phew," the first officer felt that he had difficulty breathing, not only because the air in the bilge was not good, but most importantly, such a miserable situation made it difficult to breathe.
"I'm going to tell the captain what's going on here, you guys search and see if there's anything important," said the first mate, covering his nose,
"Well," answered the sailor,
"It's too miserable," the first mate left immediately,
On the deck of the troop carrier, the captain looked at the black ship opposite,
"What happened on board, have you found out?" the captain asked at this time,
"The captain seems to have sealed the bilge, and the people in the bilge were scorched, as were the corpses on the deck, but judging from the wounds and various tragedies, it seems that it was caused by a cannon, and the hull can see that this A little," said the mate,
"Well," the captain frowned and looked at the opposite hull. Judging from the gap in the hull, it was the same as what the first mate said.
"Is there any Hang He Zhi?" the captain asked at this time, the most important thing about a ship, and the one that can best explain the history is Hang He Zhi. Hang He Zhi explained the history of a ship, some of the things he experienced, this For a ship, it is the most important thing. If Hang Hezhi still exists, it can explain what happened at the last moment. The captain is naturally very concerned about such things.
"Not yet, we haven't found it yet," said the first mate at this time,
"Well, go down and look for it," the captain continued to order,
At this time, in the hold, the sailors turned over the corpses to check the situation, and some sailors searched for valuables from the ruins. Although these things were burned by the fire, they still stayed, for example, those charred Among the dead bodies, there are some gold coins,
"Hahaha, look what I found," said a nonchalant sailor who found a gold coin from a charred corpse, and the pile of corpses under his feet was beyond recognition after being provoked by him with a bayonet , Gold coins are found in the body. Sailors usually put their most important things in the most intimate place, and in the most intimate place, because of the effect of the fire, they are finally burned in the body, and only with a bayonet You can only find them if you pick them apart, and those sailors who are very greedy for money don't care about the integrity of the corpses at this time, they pick up the corpses and look for gold coins.
"Huh," the sailor who came in first saw this situation, shook his head,
"Can you respect the dead," the sailor shouted to the sailor holding the gold coin, and the sailor holding the gold coin blew on the dusty gold coin with his mouth at this time,
"They are all dead, but these gold coins are still alive," said the sailor blowing gold coins indifferently,
"You are not human," scolded the sailor,
"Hmph," the sailor smiled, and continued to search for his own wealth. The greedy nature of the soldiers of the Chu army was undoubtedly exposed. It's no wonder that most of them came from the poorest bottom. There is no such opportunity. Only those noble surnames can have those opportunities for promotion. For the rest, it is considered very good if they can be mixed with a middle-level and low-level officer. Therefore, the biggest wish of the soldiers of the Chu army is to find opportunities to make a fortune in a war. The purpose of many soldiers to fight is to make a fortune. They don't think so much about other things.
"Bah," the sailor who found the gold coin spit on his burnt body at this time,
"If you don't get rich, what do you use to find a woman," the sailor scolded,
"Crash," at this moment, the sailor kicked over an earthen pot,
"Dong Dong," the earthen jar obviously contained water, because everyone could hear the sound of the water clearly,
"Broken pot," the sailor kicked the crock pot away, and continued to grope for the gold coins.
And the sailor who was looking for something important noticed this at this time,
Water, why there is water, he feels very strange, usually, where there is a fire, there is no water, the reason is very simple, people will use water to put out the fire, even if it is a drop of water, they will do the same, Because it's what people do subconsciously,
However, there is actually a can of water here, which is obviously not in line with normal human behavior.
Thinking of this, the sailor decided to go over to have a look, because, it was so strange, I told him consciously that there must be something that made this happen, so the sailor walked over to have a look at this time,
"What is this?" The sailor noticed a book-like thing stepped on under his feet. This book felt very good, so the sailor bent down to pick it up and looked at it.
Through the light of the torch, he saw that it was a well-wrapped large thick book, and the top was densely wrapped with a layer of oil-soaked oil paper. Because of the protection of this layer of oil paper, it was waterproof, and then put it in the in crocks filled with water so that they can survive the fire,
After thinking of this meaning, the sailor immediately put away the big thick book, and then quickly went to the deck to report the incident,
"Go down first, you have done a very correct and remarkable thing, and you will be rewarded handsomely," said the captain, looking at the sailor,
"Yes, thank you, thank you captain," said the sailor excitedly,
"Give him something good to eat," ordered the captain, and a sailor led the sailor away,
"Look at this voyage book, what things will be recorded," the captain opened the kraft paper, and then opened the voyage book to check what the ship has experienced.
"This is our ship," said the first officer at this time after reading the first page, because the first officer had served as a junior officer on this ship, he had seen this navigation book, and some place, he still had the opportunity to participate,
"This is one of our ships," said the mate in surprise,
"Hoo," exhaled the captain,
"It seems that our ship is unlucky," said the captain, and then the captain flipped the ship,
The captain looked at Hang Hezhi with a frown, and the first officer was also watching at this time. When they saw the last page, they were silent for a long time.
On the last page, Hang Hezhi wrote clearly that their ships were violently attacked by pirate ships. The wounded soldiers were killed. In order to protect the wounded soldiers, they brutally massacred those wounded soldiers. The battle was extremely fierce, but the opponent's firepower was too fierce, and the pirates used cannons to kill many of them. Under certain circumstances, they retreated to the bilge and caused serious casualties to the enemy. In the end, the opponent blocked the hatch and burned them all alive. In the last picture, the captain can see the handprint of the last person struggling with black hands , at the last moment, he recorded the tragedy of the last moment,
"They are very kind, and at the last moment, they can thin their own boat," said the captain after a long silence,
"Yes," said the first officer, nodding his head,
