The benefactor and the rescued seemed to have completely switched places here. Originally, we were the ones being rescued, but in the end it was Qi Monkey who was happy and excited. On the contrary, we all appeared worried.

Qi Houhou was completely unaware of this. He smiled like a salesman who tricked consumers into buying a unfinished building, and went to help Old One-Eye pack his things with great enthusiasm.

Probably his enthusiasm really made Lao Bai a little nervous, so Lao Bai took advantage of no one around and wanted to talk to my master, but my master just raised his hand and said:

Knowing what he was saying, Lao Bai swallowed the words back in his stomach.

Qi Houhou was very nimble with his hands and feet, and we really didn’t have much. We only had some rations and tools left. We quickly packed them up and were carried onto the rescue boat. However, because of the large number of people, we were able to score two points.

Boarding the Daku No. in batches.

My master and I, together with Wushuang, Old Man Li, and Old Bai, were the first group of people and quickly boarded the Taku with the help of the rescue boat.

According to Qi Houhou, apart from the three of them, there are still twenty crew members left on the Daku.

Not all of these twenty people were the old people who followed Luo Songyuan back then. They were attacked by sharks after entering the whirlpool. They suffered heavy losses, 80% of them died, and there were only a dozen people left. Before arriving at the mysterious island, there were several more

People died of injuries, and there were actually less than ten members of the original crew. The rest were all supplementary personnel on that mysterious island.

Now, these twenty people are already waiting on the deck.

Seeing the situation of these twenty people, I sneered even more at the idea of ​​Monkey Qi being in paradise!!

We fought bloody battles all the way and went through countless hardships to get here. Even my master, who always loves to be clean, was covered in blood, let alone the others.

Comparing the crew on the deck, we can really be said to be well-dressed!!

This is a group of beggars!!

All of them were skinny, with blue hair, and even on crutches. They were all trembling when they stood there. Some of them were even dull and sluggish. They really all had A4 waists and big hip bones. They didn't need belts or trousers.

Hang it up and it won't fall down.

Qi Houhou and his two men stood in the crowd, which was the contrast between the guard of honor and the big soldiers in the mud. They themselves were a pomp, and of course they had to be pompous when they went out to pick up people, but they were destined to be only a minority.

And these crew members represent the majority!

Doesn't it mean that people in the paradise should have yellow hair and long hair and be content? Why are they so urinary?

Being looked at by these crew members with dull eyes, I couldn't help but feel scared. I felt like I was in the same group of walking dead. If it weren't for the fact that these people's eyes would move from time to time, proving that this is a living creature, and there are indeed such things on them.

The scent of a stranger makes me rush forward with a knife and kill him!

"There is no daylight here, and life at sea is very stressful!"

Qi Hou sighed with emotion, but actually explained all this calmly: "The crew members don't like it here very much, but due to the rules, there is no other way. It's been a long time since we left on this trip. Look, we crew members are all here."

What kind of torture is this..."

I looked at him sideways, thinking that I believe you, if my master hadn't kept silent, I would have punched him in the face.

Qi Houhou didn't care whether we believed it or not. Anyway, he believed it himself. He wiped the corners of his eyes and left one person to settle us while he took the other person to pick up Zhang Xinya and the others.

Seeing this, another person hurriedly guided us to the crew cabin. My master asked him his name. He said that there are no names on the Immortal Island, and they are all followers of the gods. Just call him Fifteen, and the one who followed Qi Houhou to pick up Zhang Xinya

It’s called the first grade of junior high school.

From beginning to end, apart from the food, we didn't say a word to the other crew members on the deck. These people just stood there like sculptures, motionless, which was very strange.

However, putting aside all these weirdnesses, the condition of this ship is indeed much better than that of our broken fishing boat. The crew cabin is huge, and a corridor is divided into several small cabins on the left and right sides. There are even some armors standing on both sides of the corridor as a sign.

In terms of decoration, these armors look very much like tin cans from the Western Middle Ages, and it is completely unclear what is inside.

Lao Bai was like a mountain cannon who had never seen the world. He touched and knocked on these armors with his hands, and then said enthusiastically that these were real guys. Even though he couldn't tell which country they were from, it was hard to determine the age.

His eyes were so bright that the money symbol almost flashed through his eyes.

Fifteen led us into one of the many cabins. It was very clean and almost spotless. The layout was a bit like a student dormitory. They were all bunk beds. There were five beds in total, which was more than enough for our group of people.

Afterwards, Shififu brought another thermos of water and put it on the table before leaving. He just said to let us rest. Today is their last day at sea. It has indeed been a long time since they came out. The supplies are about to be exhausted. It is estimated that they will run out of supplies.

It's time to return home soon.

After saying that, he left.

Not long after, Zhang Xinya and his group rushed in with a roar, carrying large and small bags, like a group of refugees fleeing famine.

The old one-eyed man may have been busy for too long, and his mouth was dry. When he saw the thermos bottle on the table, he immediately burst into laughter. He even said that it was funny that the monkeys were all around him. He knew that the old brother needed this, and the arrangement was very considerate. He came up and put the lid on the pot.

As a water cup, he poured the water into his mouth and drank it. As soon as he took the water into his mouth, his expression immediately changed drastically. He opened his mouth and spit it out. He slapped the water cup on the table viciously and said angrily: "Fuck, this

The water stinks, just like the water coming from the heating pipe!"

This water has been sitting in front of me for a while. The first few of us who came in have been observing the situation in the cabin and haven't really moved. Old One-Eye is the first person to eat crabs. When I saw him getting angry, I stepped forward to get it.

Lift the kettle lid and take a look.

The water was hot, boiling, and steaming. At first glance, I couldn't see anything strange, so I tasted a little bit. Suddenly, a strong iron smell filled my mouth, and the water

It's not refreshing and refreshing, but a bit sticky and greasy. It's no longer like water, but more like a big nose, and it has a very strange smell, like the ground has been silted for a long time in the dog days of summer, and green algae has grown on it.

The smell that pervades the smelly water.

To be fair, although we drank a lot of water containing evil spirits and barely recovered some physical strength, the lack of water for days cannot be replenished at once. Now everyone still has some symptoms of dehydration. At this time, we really have no need for water.

I am so picky, but this water is so unpleasant to drink. It is more painful than drinking poison with my eyes closed. I immediately spit out the water in my mouth.

"It doesn't look like there's any problem."

My master picked up the thermos bottle, frowned and observed it for a moment, then said: "There is no medicine, and there is nothing special about it. This water should be drinkable."

"Maybe this is the antique water that has been sealed and preserved for ten years?"

Brother Yaozi grinned at Old One-Eye: "Didn't you say that before the accident of this ship ten years ago, it had just been replenished and had at least three hundred tons of fresh water reserves. It may not be very tasty, but at least it won't kill anyone.

!”

Old One-Eye's face changed drastically, and he subconsciously said: "It's unlikely. Didn't Monkey Qi say that there are villages established by outsiders on the island? They have survived for so many years, which means there should be drinkable fresh water on the island. What about the water on the boat?

Maybe it won’t be replaced?”

"Do you really believe in the so-called paradise?!"

Brother Yaozi sneered and winked at Wushuang. Wushuang immediately went to close the door. Brother Yaozi said: "There may be survivors from outside, but there won't be any in paradise. If you ask me, that's a

A place where people eat people!!”

I don't believe in the paradise either, but this is just intuition and instinct. But looking at Brother Yaozi's expression, he obviously discovered something, and immediately asked if he saw anything, how could he conclude that it was a place where a man eats people?

?

Brother Yaozi changed the topic and suddenly asked: "Don't you see that everyone on this boat is sick?"

I shook my head. Many of the crew members on the ship did look skinny and had dull eyes, but I just thought that maybe they were suffering from lack of nutritional supplements and were tortured by the harsh environment.

Brother Yaozi shook his head: "That Monkey Qi's eyes are a little red, and so are the two people following him. The hands and feet of the other crew members are shaking, and some look like dementia. I have seen this kind of situation, it is a kind of

A nasty disease called kuru.”

"Prion infection?"

Zhang Xinya's face changed drastically. After thinking about it carefully, she couldn't help but shudder: "It's okay if you don't say it, but it seems really..."

Lao Bai said dissatisfied: "What on earth are you talking about? What prions and kuru disease, I have never heard of them."

"Old people say that in the old society, natural disasters occurred and food supplies were cut off. People often ate people. Those who had eaten people would have slightly red eyes."

Brother Yaozi sighed and said: "I don't know what kind of prion the second girl is talking about. I only know that if a cow eats feed mixed with cow bone meal or other similar bone meal, it is easy to get mad cow disease. The same goes for people.

People of the same kind will be punished by God and get strange diseases.

Someone I knew once went to a tomb and was trapped. He was so hungry that he killed his companions and ate them. After he came out, he got this strange disease, his eyes were reddish, and then his hands and feet slowly started to tremble, and then... he became...

I had dementia and went to see a doctor, but they said it was kuru disease."

Zhang Xinya added on the side, saying that strictly speaking, this prion cannot be called a virus. It is just a piece of simple RNA or DNA. When it encounters the same type of genetic material, it will replicate itself, so

, this happens when cannibalism occurs.

Of course, there appear to be other ways to become infected with prions.

However, looking at it now, there seems to be only one explanation - these people on the boat have eaten people!!

"This thing has a long incubation period..."

Zhang Xinya said: "Qi Hou, as well as the first and fifteenth graders, obviously got the disease relatively late, while other crew members got the disease relatively early, and some people have obviously had symptoms for many years, and then they became dementia!"

“But this doesn’t make sense!!”

Old One-Eye felt hairy all over after hearing this, and couldn't help but say: "There are not so many outsiders here. If there were no edible things on that island, we would have to rely on cannibalism to survive. In ten years, people will almost be gone."

Should they die to death? Moreover, even if people eat people, they still have to drink water. They can’t stop drinking water, right?”

"I don't know about that."

Brother Yaozi shook his head: "I think something must have happened to them. There may be an ulterior motive for pulling us on board!"

This is really unreasonable. How can people not drink water? We tried it for a few days and we know the taste very clearly. But according to Brother Yaozi, people like Qi Monkey should not have drank water in ten years.

, otherwise, the 300 tons of water reserves on board the ship ten years ago would have been exhausted long ago. Who will get us?

"Old One-Eye, you and Da Xi'er are going to do something."

My master suddenly said: "Go to Monkey Qi and say that we are hungry. The food we brought is hard and tasteless. Ask him if there is anything warmer on the boat and give us a bite!"
