Chapter 297 Shipwreck

The curtains in the cruise ship lobby were opened, and dazzling eyes shone in from the outside.

All the tourists slowly woke up from their slumber. They had fallen asleep without knowing it before, and now they woke up and didn't notice anything strange.

Su Lun stood up in a moment of clarity, and Shirasawa Linyun and others with him were also awakened by his actions.

He frowned and looked around. The singing and dancing on the stage had stopped long ago, and for some reason he was not the only one sleeping. But he didn't find anything wrong. They were just asleep.

"Are we at our destination? Why did I fall asleep?"

Lin Yun stood up and stretched. Looking at the drowsy looks of everyone around her, she soon realized that she was not the only one who fell asleep.

The sudden slumber was not alarming, it was just a sleep, and they had not lost anything.

They just did whatever they had to do when there were classes on the ship, and the programs in the hall had stopped, and they quickly dispersed to play around.

Although Lin Yun felt strange, she did not delve into it. If something happened, someone would soon find out that something was wrong. Now other tourists are normal.

She said: "There should be a program coming next. If you miss it, it will be too late."

She was going to take Su Lun and others out of here.

Su Lun shook his head when he heard this and said, "You go over first, I'll come back later."

What just happened was too weird, and he had to investigate it clearly.

"Then let's go over first." Lin Yun said and left the hall with a few people.

After all the tourists left, only some staff were left in the hall to clean up.

What surprised Su Lun was that these staff members also fell asleep just now, and they also woke up just now.

If the manager of this ship had tampered with the ship, then these staff members should not have been tricked. As long as they were tricked, it means that it was not the tour group or the cruise ship that was tampered with, but someone else.

Su Lun saw the tour group's tour guide sitting aside. The tour guide had just woken up and looked confused.

Su Lun walked over and asked, "Do you know what happened just now?"

Although the other party didn't look like he knew the details, he still decided to ask.

The tour guide shook her head and said, "I'm surprised too. I obviously didn't drink much."

She continued: "Maybe he fainted because the cruise ship was rocking at sea."

She also looked confused. It was so weird that everyone fell asleep at the same time just now, even the people dancing on the stage.

Su Lun couldn't ask anything, so he had to leave.

The sun outside has not set yet, and its position has changed somewhat compared to before. From the distance, you can guess how many hours have passed since you fell asleep just now.

The cruise ship is still moving forward on the sea. There is no shadow of the island on the sea. I don’t know how long it will take to reach the island.

They had been sleeping for a few hours just now. He didn't believe that nothing happened during these few hours. Someone must have done it intentionally to fall asleep just now.

Su Lun carefully checked the hall where he was just now. No hypnotic drugs were found in the hall, and there was no problem with the air. He didn't eat any food at all, and he couldn't find any reason why he fell asleep.

He searched for a long time and finally found a special pattern on the bottom of the seat.

This pattern is the same as the pattern seen in the kitchen. It is a ritual pattern.

After discovering this, Su Lun immediately picked up other chairs to check. Sure enough, as he thought, all the chairs had this ritual pattern under them. If he guessed correctly, this ritual should be able to make people fall asleep.

"Everyone has fallen asleep. It's impossible for the other party to have done nothing. What is the other party's purpose?"

Su Lun had countless thoughts running through his mind but could not come up with an answer. He left the hall and headed to the previous kitchen.

There was no one in the kitchen, and the food had been cleared away, leaving only some discarded items.

The rituals in the kitchen are still there, indicating that the chef in the kitchen may have been asleep for a few hours.

Su Lun didn't find the answer, and finally he looked up at the sky. The sun was setting in the sky, and it would disappear completely in a few hours, entering night time.

Of course there is nothing wrong with the sun. The problem is that the position of the sun is not right.

If it had only been a few hours, the sun would have only set some distance to the west, but now the angle of the sun and the angle of the ship have changed a lot, as if the ship has changed direction.

"Could it be..."

Su Lun suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. If the ship's route changed, the destination they would reach would be completely different.

He immediately ran to the captain's cabin of the cruise ship. The captain's cabin was only locked and could only be opened with the appropriate key. This was designed to prevent anyone from using violent methods to open the door.

There is no way to enter the captain's cabin except the main door. Su Lun was about to force his way in when the tour guide suddenly came over.

"What are you doing?"

The tour guide came over quickly when he saw Su Lun hitting the door of the ship. Not everyone could enter the place where the ship was sailing.

Su Lun immediately explained: "The direction of the ship has changed. You can compare the position of the sun or the compass and the map."

He had tried to break open the door just now, but the door was entirely made of metal and was impossible to open.

The tour guide was stunned when she heard this. She looked up at the sun. She didn't feel anything was wrong when she looked at the sun before, but now after Su Lun talked about it, she realized that there was indeed something wrong with the sun and the direction of the cruise ship.

She walked to the door of the captain's room and knocked twice and said loudly: "Please open the door!"

She shouted twice, but there was no response.

The captain's room was not only the captain, but also the assistant. Even if the captain was driving, he could open the door to confirm. The current situation made the tour guide a little worried.

She immediately said: "I'll go to the spare key now."

She left immediately after she said that.

Not long after, the tour guide ran back and opened the door of the captain's room with the key.

Su Lun took a step back immediately after seeing the situation inside. The captain's room was full of sleeping rituals that she had seen before. There were at least hundreds of rituals of all sizes.

The tour guide was also stunned by the scene inside. She didn't know the meaning of those patterns. To her, they were just some incomprehensible symbols.

What caught her attention were the two people lying on the floor inside. Those two people were the captain and the assistant.

She immediately went up to check on the captain's situation. Without the captain, she didn't know where the ship would go.

Su Lun also followed into the captain's room. In addition to those strange patterns, there were many operating instruments in the captain's room. These were instruments for detecting the condition of the cruise ship and driving.

"They... are dead..."

The tour guide fell to the ground in fear. She found that the captain and his companions had completely stopped breathing and their heartbeats had stopped.

Su Lun went up to take a look. The captain's face was already pale. It was obvious that he had been dead for several hours. The time of death should be when he was sleeping.

Now without the captain to lead the way, they will be farther and farther away from their destination.

Su Lun saw a large sea chart next to the control panel. The sea chart marked the location of Gotti City and the location of Azure Island.

According to the sea chart and the compass on the ship, they are now heading 30 degrees to the left of Azure Island. If they continue to move forward like this, they will be farther and farther away from Azure Island until they enter the deep sea without any islands.

By that time, the cruise ship's fuel will be exhausted, and it will be impossible to return to the land from the ocean. At that time, they can only wait to die.

Su Lun now roughly understands the other party's goal. The other party wants them all to die in the sea.

Although he didn't know why the other party did this, he couldn't just sit there and wait for death. He had to change the direction of the cruise ship.

Just as Su Lun was thinking, a figure approached the door of the captain's room.

When Su Lun saw the figure, he immediately felt something was wrong. This person was the one who had been hiding in the kitchen before.

He rushed over immediately, but at this moment, the door of the captain's room was immediately closed and locked.

Su Lun tried to open the door and found that the bolt that opened from the inside was damaged and could only be opened from the outside with a key.

"Damn it!"

Su Lun cursed inwardly, but he saw the man's face clearly just now. It was a middle-aged man with a beard. As long as he saw him again, he would be able to tell him apart.

"Who closed the door? Please open the door!" The tour guide came over and shouted loudly.

She didn't know what happened, but she kept calling for help, but no one outside came to pay attention to her.

Su Lun looked around. There were metal walls and doors all around, and only the transparent glass in front could see the situation outside.

At this moment, Su Lun suddenly found that the cruise ship was approaching a small island, and the speed was very fast.

Su Lun immediately realized that something was wrong. The speed of the cruise ship became very fast with the help of the sea water, and the island in front was full of towering rocks. The cruise ship would definitely be knocked down by these rocks if it rushed over. They were in the captain's room and were the first place to be hit.

"Get out of the way!"

Su Lun shouted, and he immediately ran to the corner and squatted down. There was no place to escape or hide here, so he could only find the safest place to stay.

The tour guide also found something wrong, and she immediately ran to where Su Lun was.

Before she ran to Su Lun, the whole cruise ship immediately made a loud noise, and the cruise ship vibrated violently, and everyone on the ship was thrown around.

The cruise ship kept hitting several boulders until it was slowed down by the land of the island and slowly stopped.

Su Lun was also stunned by the strong vibration. He could only try his best to protect himself from injury, but he could not guarantee that he could maintain consciousness under the violent shaking.

...

After a long time, Su Lun slowly woke up.

He pushed away the metal fragments on his body. Many things in the captain's room were broken and scattered everywhere, but the glass in front had not broken yet, only some cracks appeared.

Su Lun saw that the tour guide next to him was also lying on the ground, but she was not carrying any heavy objects and should not be injured.

"Wake up!"

Su Lun shouted twice, and the other party woke up immediately.

"We are not dead yet?" The tour guide got up in a panic.

Although she was not injured, her current situation was worse than being injured.

Now it was completely dark, there was only moonlight and starlight outside, and it was completely dark and nothing could be seen.

Su Lun walked to the front of the control panel. The cruise ship had completely run aground and it was impossible to continue operating. Moreover, most parts of the cruise ship were damaged now. Even if it was not stranded, it would be impossible to continue sailing.

He picked up the nautical chart he had seen before. On the nautical chart, this should be a completely empty sea area, and it was impossible for an island to appear out of thin air.

Su Lun checked carefully by moonlight, but still couldn't find the location of the island. This island was definitely not the Azure Island they were going to, but another island that was not recorded on the map.

"As long as we find someone outside, we should be able to get rescued."

The tour guide came over and said, she looked at her body, she didn't have anything to call for rescue.

She picked up a walkie-talkie on the boat and said a few words, but didn't receive a reply, these communication equipment were damaged.

Su Lun knew that he had to go out to find someone to rescue. Under the current circumstances, the casualties of the entire ship must be very large, but now their problem is how to leave this place.

Their only exit is the glass shield in front, this glass shield is not ordinary glass, otherwise the previous impact will completely shatter these glasses.

Although the hard shield protected them, it also locked them in.

Because it was too dark around, Su Lun also had a hard and sharp tool to smash the glass in front.

Another point is that it is not necessarily safe outside, and it is not necessarily a good thing to go out at night.

Su Lun slowly calmed down. He now had two choices. One was to smash the survivors on the glass cover in front of him, and the other was to rest in the captain's room until dawn.

The tour guide said beside him: "We must go out. There must be communication equipment on the ship. As long as we contact people, we can get rescued."

She didn't consider the threat from the outside world at all. She only considered that many people on the ship might be seriously injured and could not be treated.

She picked up a piece of hard iron and smashed it at the glass cover, hoping to get out of here as soon as possible.

Su Lun's idea was different from hers. It was not known whether coming here was the purpose of the previous person, but there might be danger outside. There must be an important reason why this was not on the map.

He looked at the sleeping ritual pattern next to him in the moonlight. This sleeping ritual was depicted so many times. The captain and the assistant might have been affected by these sleeping rituals and died in their sleep.

Because there were too many sleeping rituals, it was impossible to wake up.

While Su Lun was still studying this ritual, the tour guide had knocked a big hole in the glass cover in front of him.

Just as the tour guide was about to go out, a strange sound suddenly came from outside.

The sound was a bit like the roar of a wild animal, deep and penetrating, and the sound alone was enough to make one feel very scared.

The beast that made the sound was either a ferocious beast or some powerful creature.

The tour guide was also frightened when she heard the sound, and she took a step forward and then retracted it.
