It didn't take long for the cold night to fall.
John's room could only see part of the side of the ship, and he could not confirm the situation outside, so he had to say to Shang Jianyao:
"Let's open the door and see, I want to know if the current situation is consistent with what you described."
Although he has accepted the setting that future people will travel through time and space to investigate the truth of the incident and find out the cause of the destruction of the old world, he still wants to confirm further, after all, it is related to what state he will be in in the next few days.
You know, the future person said that it is not that he cannot change history, but he does not dare to change history.
At that time, all the future will be reset, and there may not be a scientist who invents a time machine and sends another investigator over.
Moreover, subsequent investigators will inevitably maintain the altered history, and it is impossible to try to correct it, as this will lead to a new round of future reset, erasing the investigator's existence.
For this reason, John, who had spent nearly half an hour thinking but was still a little dizzy, decided that it would be better to figure out the current situation.
Shang Jianyao thought seriously for a few seconds, nodded and said:
"Okay, but be safe."
John breathed a sigh of relief and turned his body.
Behind him, Shang Jianyao's expression loosened, gradually becoming excited, and he also brought a little bit of excitement that was not too big to watch.
John in a long black T-shirt walked to the door of the room, he was not in a hurry to go out, but turned his head sideways, pressed against the wooden board, and listened carefully to the movement outside.
There seemed to be some noise in the distance, but there was silence nearby.
John carefully twisted the handle and looked outside.
The entire carpeted aisle was empty.
"At this time, everyone has gone to the restaurant, right?" Behind John, Shang Jianyao asked with a big grin.
John subconsciously shook his head:
"It is impossible to be so unified, there are always people ahead of schedule and people are delayed."
As soon as he finished speaking, a person walked towards the elevator.
The man was wearing a crew uniform, pushing a food truck, and ran towards this side in a panic.
He looked terrified and turned back from time to time, as if he was being chased by some terrible creature, but John found that there was nothing behind the man.
"What happened?" John took a step out, trying to communicate.
The crew member ignored him at all, seeing him and Shang as nothing, and ran to the deck with a fearful face as he pushed the food truck.
John completely believed Shang Jianyao's description, and the people on the entire cruise ship, except for a very few, entered a state of chaos after nightfall.
At this moment, in the room diagonally opposite him, the wooden door was pulled back and there was a big gap.
A shirtless Honghe man poked his head out and happened to see the crew member turn around, his face distorted and his expression frightened.
He then looked at John and Shang Jianyao who were like normal people.
And John saw that in the man's room, there was a woman with exposed clothes shaking her head, crying and laughing.
Pong!
The man closed the door.
"He's fine too." John said in a somewhat disappointed tone.
"Who is he?" Shang Jianyao asked curiously.
John exhaled and said:
"His name is Sally, and he is also a capable person, the kind who likes to play with women."
In this era, the names of the awakened are not uniform, and some people prefer to call them or call themselves capable people.
"Are you jealous of him?" The honest Shang Jianyao blurted out.
Ruo Zhiwang's face suddenly became gloomy:
"How is that possible?
"What is there about him that makes me jealous?"
The honest Shang Jianyao said "Oh":
"You are a little jealous."
When John's expression was distorted, Shang Jianyao, who had switched personalities, touched his chin and said:
"But he really has nothing to be jealous of, you are a son of the times, a son of the times who survived two things in a row related to the cause of the destruction of the old world."
John's expression soothed:
"Your joke just now was not funny at all.
"It's a very bad thing to question your companions for lying."
"Yes, yes." Shang Jianyao responded.
John restrained his emotions, thought for a moment, and said in a low voice:
"Sally is a capable person, and so am I, and none of us have fallen into the chaotic madness you mentioned, perhaps, the capable person will not be affected."
"You didn't tell me to see it." Shang Jianyao pointed out.
When John looked dazed, Shang Jianyao reminded:
"In my experience, once a person with abilities uses their abilities at night, they will also become infected and become confused or crazy."
"Experience?" John asked in confusion.
However, he was quick to express his understanding.
This future person who traveled through time and space to reach the current world may not have crossed for the first time, and it was likely that he was infected with chaos and was forced back to the future because of his rash use of his abilities.
"Are you going to see anywhere else? The situation in the restaurant should be wonderful." Shang Jianyao, who was seeking novelty and curiosity, asked in a slightly encouraging tone.
John shook his head without hesitation:
"I confirm your statement, no need to verify anything more.
"For the next few days, we will hide in the cabin at night, don't go out, try to do this during the day, and change the hiding place from time to time.
"If you are hungry, secretly go to the kitchen to find food, don't go to the restaurant."
"Okay." Shang Jianyao was a little disappointed.
He immediately clapped his hands:
"You are so cautious!"
John's expression became more and more normal after receiving praise.
In this way, after Shang Jianyao withdrew several times and re-entered, he and John came to the last night.
Listening to the chaotic and noisy sounds outside, the two huddled in a corner of the dark kitchen kept as quiet as possible.
After a while, John, who seemed to have been thinking for a long time, opened his mouth and said slowly:
"I feel like I can't stay like this forever.
"Can this terrifying weird thing really allow us to survive until the end and reach our destination safely just by hiding?"
"I don't know." Shang Jianyao replied truthfully.
John was surprised:
"Didn't you know me in the future? Didn't you ask me how I finally escaped this disaster?"
"You refuse to say it." Shang Jianyao confidently pushed all the problems onto the other party's head.
"I won't say it?" John fell into deep thought and muttered to himself.
He seemed to want to push back on the strategy he should adopt now from his refusal to tell Shang Jianyao about the escape process.
This is easy to draw a conclusion:
If you just hide and hide until the last day and make it to the cruise ship docking, there is nothing you can't say!
John stood up and set his gaze to the kitchen door.
He thought about it and said to Shang Jianyao:
"You said that in the end, only a few survived.
"Although those outside are in a state of chaos and madness now, they will inevitably return to normal when dawn breaks, and the cruise ship will dock tomorrow.
"What terrible things happened to them in the end, causing no one to survive?
"Will this happen to us too?"
Shang Jianyao thought for a while and replied sincerely:
"I don't know."
John paced back and forth a few steps:
"I want to go to the captain's room to take a look, he is the owner of this cruise ship, if this anomaly exists now, he should know a little about the situation."
"You decide." Shang Jianyao controlled the change in his expression, and then added, "I can't interfere with history."
John made up his mind, tightened his clothes, and walked to the kitchen exit.
Maybe because it is winter, although this sea area is more southerly, the night is still cold.
Shang Jianyao followed behind John and casually pulled an unknown piece of cloth and wrapped it around his body to fight the cold of the night.
Relying on their ability to sense human consciousness, the two bypassed one passenger and crew member after another who fell into a state of chaos and madness, especially those with aggressive tendencies.
Finally, they came to the captain's cabin.
The door here was closed, and shouts came from inside from time to time.
"The captain has also become chaotic and crazy?" John muttered to himself in considerable disappointment.
This means that he may not be able to ask anything, and he may be attacked.
He didn't hesitate for too long and tried to twist the handle.
The door did not move at all.
"I'll do it!" Shang saw that Yao was eager to try to raise his foot and kick the door.
"Aren't you unable to interfere with history?" John looked sideways at him in surprise.
Shang Jianyao replied confidently:
"If I don't open the door, will you give up?"
"Yes." John accepted this explanation.
History hasn't changed.
Pong!
Shang Jianyao raised his right foot and kicked the door open.
John immediately saw what was going on inside.
A man in his forties, who was relatively round and seemed to be able to guarantee basic food in these chaotic times, knelt on one knee in a white sheet.
He turned a deaf ear to the door being kicked open, just looked at the ceiling and shouted in an aria:
"Oh, my goddess!
"Please accept my love!"
Another crazy ...... John looked sideways at Shang Jianyao and said after consideration:
"Let's find it ourselves, maybe there are some clues lurking in this room."
Shang Jianyao did not respond to his proposal, looked at the captain, and kindly reminded:
"Your goddess is not here."
The captain's body suddenly turned, his face full of obsession and fanaticism.
He replied in a loud voice:
"She's in my body!"
