Chapter 38 Desperate

Option one 84.6%, option two 15.4%.

……

【Option [-]】

[Announcement]

……

Aware of Chu Huairen's gaze, Zheng Zhuo picked up the pilot's handbook.

"have a look."

He handed it to Chu Huairen.

"I'm on duty."

Seeing is believing, he thought.

He has gambled too many times, and there is no shortage of this most critical round.

……

When Zheng Zhuo finished his shift a few hours later and returned to the crew quarters, Chu Huairen was still sitting where he stood during the day.His face was pale, he grabbed his hair with both hands, and opened his account, throwing it on the bunk beside him.

Seeing Zheng Zhuo coming in, Chu Huairen raised his head blankly.His eyes were not focused, and Zheng Zhuo couldn't tell for a moment whether he was looking at himself, or looking through himself at something in the void.

"...Isn't this the real world?"

Chu Huairen repeated the same sentence lightly and quickly.His voice is hoarse, presumably he has repeated it countless times.

"This is... in the subconscious mind...how could it be...my...my parents...my childhood...why...can't I remember it? Could it be..."

Zheng Zhuo watched him, walked past him, and picked up the notebook.

Chu Huairen moved.His talking to himself stopped.

After a while.

"Are you from outside?"

he asked.

Zheng Zhuo nodded.

"what about me?"

"You too." Zheng Zhuo said, "You and me. Of all the people here, only the two of us are from reality."

"This this……"

Chu Huairen grabbed his hair vigorously.

After a while, he let go of his hand and stood up.

"...I need a little time to accept."

He uttered these words with the last of his strength, and staggered out of the crew dormitory.

……

How is Chu Huairen doing after knowing the truth?is it bad?

Zheng Zhuo is temporarily unable to judge. 【Appraisal】Can't give him an answer either.

Zheng Zhuo was the only one left in the crew dormitory.And that account.

Zheng Zhuo sighed.He would pray that Chu Huairen would not just go crazy like this, although praying is not very applicable in the current situation.

"...So, I haven't finished the second half yet."

He opened the journal again.This may be the only thing he can do now.

……

After the "unreachable ring island" that Zheng Zhuo saw during the day, the handbook is still about half thick.Just seeing this, Zheng Zhuo knew: the next thing will definitely not be a smooth development.

And indeed it is.The pilot circled the vicinity for a few minutes after discovering that the ring island would always disappear into phantoms as it approached.Suddenly, he noticed dark clouds gathering in the sky.

"That cloud was moving so fast it even created a hurricane. After that came the thunderstorm."

The pilot flew the plane and wanted to leave this place, but suddenly found that the outline of the island became clearer.

It's time to get in there!
At that time, there was only one thought in his mind.He cranked up the speed of the plane's engine to the limit, and rushed towards the island——

There was a bang.The world suddenly became quiet.

A thunderstorm hit the plane!His eardrums were blown through, and the plane's wings were on fire.The plane lost control and flew outwards. He watched the plane crash into the sea, so he desperately pulled up the joystick to climb.

He held it like this for a few minutes, and the plane slid far, far away.In the end, the plane still crashed.His persistence only allowed him to temporarily avoid the fate of being buried in the belly of the shark-he successfully operated the plane and crashed on the only small island he saw.

……

"I'm missing a token."

The pilot recalled so in the handbook.

"I think that must be the case. I read it in the records. To enter there, tokens are necessary. At that time, I thought with all my heart that the information I collected were tokens, but now that I think about it, I may need something more direct, such as that The map mentioned in the literature."

After that, the pilot wrote about how he survived in the woods.During that time, he tried to take off again many times, but the plane was completely broken and he couldn't move.He has been living on that island since then, hoping that a ship will pass by to rescue him.

But soon, he contracted scarlet fever.

"I don't think I have much time left. Hopefully, this time, death will help me return."

After this sentence, he never recorded any words.

……

Zheng Zhuo closed the account.He was silent for a long time, and finally, he forced himself to start thinking again.

keepsake.

The token is mentioned in the account.Moreover, the token is likely to be a map.

And the pottery shard that Zheng Zhuo asked Chu Huairen to take out from the professor's box had a map-like pattern on it.

Could it be it?No, I can only believe it now.

The remaining question is...

"(Enter during a thunderstorm.)"

……

In the next few days, Chu Huairen did not show up.Zheng Zhuo studied the chart alone, and speculated that the third island was already very close to everyone.

But the dish antenna, which had been hit once by a bird, started failing again.For a while, the scientific research ship lost its direction and could only wander around idling in place.

Zheng Zhuo hopes to put down the miniature deep-sea probe to conduct seabed survey like the previous two times.But this time, there was no extra crew manning the probe.Zheng Zhuo dragged out Professor Lin Wen, who had lost his mobility, from the storage room. The two of them barely sent the tattered detector into the water, but when they dived to a depth of 500 meters, accompanied by With the muffled sound caused by several impacts, the detector completely lost contact.

As a result, the scientific research ship lost its eyes and ears at the same time.It drifts on the ocean day and night, groping like a helpless traveler in the dark.

Such days passed day by day, and the rainy season arrived.The sky is covered by dark clouds all day long, and there is not a ray of sunshine in thousands of square kilometers.

The remaining crew members also changed one by one at this time.They sleep less and less, scales begin to cover their faces, and their eyes protrude.Day and night they walked up and down the deck with faces cocked to the side as if in a stroke, and salivating from their mouths.

Every day, Zheng Zhuo watched the [aggressiveness] of the crew members jumping up slowly, one by one.

He began to have hallucinations and auditory hallucinations.

He knew that if he waited any longer, he would go crazy like that.

……

evening.

It rained harder.No lights were turned on on the deck of the huge scientific research ship. At this moment, only the light of Zheng Zhuo's flashlight was shaking.

Zheng Zhuo was wearing a raincoat and standing on the side of the deck.He was covering the escape boat with a tarp and stuffing it with the items he had brought.

Food, maintenance tools, and cultural relics from Chu Huairen.

Had to leave by boat.

Zheng Zhuo's temples were throbbing.He began to understand the feeling of the pilot rushing into the thundercloud - he was doing the same thing now.

Finally, he stuffed everything in.Next, there is only one person left.

How to call Chu Huairen out...

Just when he thought so.

"Zheng Zhuo."

Zheng Zhuo heard someone calling him.

He turned his head.

It was Chu Huairen who came.

I haven't seen him for a few days, his hair is messy, his face and body are covered with ashes and engine oil.I wonder what he ate these days?His face became whiter than ever, and his pupils quivered erratically in their eye sockets.

In the end, the only normal person finally began to slide into the abyss of madness.

"You have to enter on a thunderstorm day according to what he said in the account."

Chu Huairen said.His tone at the end of the sentence became light and ethereal.

Zheng Zhuo nodded.

"Take me with you." Chu Huairen said, "I'm going too."

"..."

Zheng Zhuo nodded again.He looked behind Chu Huairen.

There were no lights in the dark cabin.Can't see anything.

"([Identification].)"

But Zheng Zhuo could see it.

The value of "those things" in the cabin is becoming more and more dangerous.

Zheng Zhuo looked at the sky again.

The rain was getting heavier, but it was far from thunderstorm level.

Don't know how far away the thunderstorm... is.
