Why it never ends

Si Lei looked ahead, "...you can't think like that."

Just when Rico was about to say something, Hesta stopped suddenly.Rico also immediately looked sideways, looking in the same direction as Hesta.

Soon, the sound hidden behind the cabinet door not far away reached Su Lei's ears.

A hand slowly protruded from the gap in the cabinet door, and then a person rolled down.

"Officer Su Lei...? Is that you?"

Su Lei was stunned for a moment: "Gustav?"

The person in front of him raised his head, one eye was seeping blood, the other eye was tightly closed, his hands and feet were bound, and Hesta stepped forward to untie him.

"Why are you here alone?" Hesta asked. "What's the matter with you?"

Gustave choked up and talked about the reason - Fayence took him and Jacqueline to the second floor, and then Jacqueline left for the upper deck, and Fayance took him to hide in a hurry.During the process, a crew member passed by, and he tried to call for help, but all failed. It was not until Fayence went out to make a call and did not return for a long time that he found a gap to escape.

"Then you hid here?" Hesta was puzzled, "Since you can move, why didn't you go up and find the big troops?"

"I saw people in biochemical suits..." Gustav trembled, "I saw them... disposing of body bags."

"When?"

"I don't know...anyway, it was this morning."

Hesta and Rico realized almost at the same time that they should be the passengers who died in the morning security check, and the group of people who chose to stay in the restaurant until their death were basically loyalists who decided to follow Fayence.

"and then?"

"I was terrified, so I tried my best to climb towards the stairwell, but I accidentally rolled down and hit my left eye..."

"Can I go now?"

"Okay," Gustav barely opened his right eye, "but my other eye is a bit hard to see now..."

None of them spoke - when one eyeball is severely injured, if there is no treatment, there is a high probability that the other eyeball will also be infected... But now there are no medical staff on board that can treat such wounds.

"Send him to Jacqueline." Hesta looked at the two people beside him, "It's too dangerous to follow us."

"No! No!" Gustav immediately knelt down on the ground, "Please, don't throw me anywhere else, let me follow you, just let me follow you!"

"It's not throwing, there's a safer place on this boat—"

"Even if it's safe for Jacqueline, it's not necessarily safe for me!" Gustav hugged Rico's thigh again, "I will never cause you any trouble—"

Hesta and the others did not speak. To some extent, Gustav was right. There is probably no corner on this ship that is safe for him.

"You have also seen our situation," Li Ge said in a deep voice, "we are injured and disabled, you can follow if you want, but if there is any accident, I have no spare power to protect you."

"It's okay!" Gustav replied immediately, "Just let me follow you!"

Rico glanced in Hesta's direction, but Hesta didn't object.

"Let's go."

……

In the corridor of the intensive care unit, a slender figure stepped in from the entrance.

His leather shoes made a rhythmic snapping sound in the deep corridor. Every time he passed a ward, he stopped to check the nameplate on the ward, and finally stopped in front of Agnes' door.

There was a knock on the door in the hallway.

The lights in the ward came on, and Meyer's voice was a little wary, "Who is it?"

"it's me."

With a brisk trot, the door of the ward opened quickly. Meyer looked up at the person in front of her with surprise in her eyes. Behind her, Agnes, who was awakened by the knock on the door, also opened her eyes wide. Look over here.

"Mr. Gobelin!"

Gobelin gently patted Mayer's head, "Are you alright?"

Meyer became choked up almost immediately. She wanted to say that her sister was not well, but she was crying.

Gobelin put his hand on Meyer's shoulder naturally, and walked to Agnes's bed with her.

"Mr. Gobelin..."

"Don't get up, I'm just checking on your condition." Gobelin said softly, "How do you feel?"

"In any case..." Agnes laughed at herself. In any case, the penetrating wound of the bullet would not heal without a few months or even half a year of recuperation. However, when she turned her head and neck carefully, the familiar tearing pain did not appear.

She raised her hand in doubt, until her arm was raised to an angle almost perpendicular to her body, she felt a familiar pain.

"It seems to be recovering well." Gobelin said in a low voice.

"No...Impossible...I..." Agnes braced her arms, intending to sit up, but as soon as she tried, she immediately suffered from pain and fell down on the bed.

"Don't move, you haven't fully recovered yet." Gobelin looked at Meyer, "Go and push your sister's wheelchair, okay?"

"Okay..." Meyer replied, but still stood still, "Pushing the wheelchair now, where are you going?"

"Go to Bishop's Restaurant." Gobelin said softly, "The rescue team is coming soon, and all of us can leave this ship tonight."

Meyer's eyes widened: "...Really!"

"Of course, let's go."

Meyer immediately left the ward and went to the corridor to retrieve the wheelchair they came in. Agnes watched her leave with a complicated expression, and then said in a low voice:
"Mr. Gobelin, I want to make a confession to you."

"Ah."

"... Bree, dead." Agnes lowered her voice, "I killed it, just... tonight."

"Ah."

Agnes raised her head, but Gobelin showed no surprise on her face.

"...Don't you blame me? Don't you ask me why?"

"Naturally you have your reasons." Gobelin's expression did not change, and he also looked at Agnes, "During this period, the situation on the Shengming is special, it is almost a deserted island outside the law, no matter what happens , are all justifiable.”

Tears welled up in Agnes' eyes, "Thank you, I—"

"What's more, Bree is not dead." Gobelin said softly.

Agnes' face froze almost instantly.

"Some of us were injured... but fortunately, at least at the end of this voyage, all of us are alive, which is the most important thing."

"what……?"

"Get ready, we'll go up together later," Gobelin stood up, "I'll go next door to see Helen first."

……

In the lounge, the crew prepared comfortable and fitting sneakers for Tasia to replace the high heels that she had broken.

Tasia leaned back in her chair like a walking corpse, and the crew bent over to change her shoes.

"It's about to change trains, aren't you happy?"

Tasia's eyes moved slightly, "What kind of ride..."

"The rescue team is coming soon," the crew replied with a smile, "You will be back on land with your partner soon."
