Post-apocalyptic mermaid stranded

"Did you hear the strange noise last night?"

"I heard it. It was almost dawn at that time."

"That's what the wind blows..."

"Aww, could that be the wind? Are you deaf?"

"Shut up!" The captain stood on the second floor and slapped the fence aggressively.

In order to stop the rumors, all the crew members gathered on the deck early in the morning. They wanted to appease everyone's emotions, but they didn't expect them to be the first to make a fuss.The captain stayed up all night last night, staring at his red eyes, and said in a bad tone: "I didn't see anything, but you peed your pants in fright!"

"Captain," a hairless burly man stood up and questioned, "You were the one who said there was a sea monster last night. It's inevitable that everyone is nervous, right?"

"..." The captain glanced at Wei Lan beside him with some guilt, and his momentum weakened, "It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! Where did the sea monster come from? Spreading rumors!"

"If there is a misunderstanding, why did the captain stand on the deck all night yesterday?" Another crew member stood up.

"Yes, I saw it too."

"Yes, the captain did not return to the cabin."

Everyone stood up and rushed to testify. The captain couldn't intervene, so he had to push the man behind him out: "Last night, he was the first person to notice the strange situation. Be quiet and listen to him."

The people on the deck immediately fell silent, stared at by pairs of eyes below, the man seemed more nervous than last night, and his voice was a little trembling: "Last night, last night I was on duty..."

"Get to the point." The captain patted him encouragingly, "Just tell me what you saw."

The man took a deep breath: "I only saw a silver light."

"Did you hear that? A light, it seems to scare you."

The captain's words had no effect, and the noise below became louder: "Silver light? How can there be silver light in the sea?"

"Is it the reflection of some metal?"

"There wasn't even a single star last night, what kind of light is there?"

"Can metal float? Are you stupid?"

"Otherwise what is it?"

"If you say you're stupid, are you really stupid? Fish in the deep sea glow, you know?"

"Deep sea...? Deep sea!"

"It's not really a sea monster, is it?"

"I look like it."

"Makes sense."

……

"It's your sister's reason!" The captain's face darkened the more he listened, felt the cold gaze from Wei Lan, and angrily reprimanded: "If you talk nonsense again, you will all be punished to wash the toilet!"

There was a second of silence on the deck, and then the noise continued.

Seeing that the crew members were talking more and more outrageous, their imaginations were about to fly into the sky, and the captain obviously couldn't hold back the scene, so Gu Baiqing stood up and said, "Everyone be quiet."

The sound was not loud, but it made everyone on the deck raise their heads.

The captain also took a step back tactfully and made way for him.

"According to the brother who was on duty last night, the reason was that he discovered a silver light and then alarmed the captain, and the captain alarmed everyone and caused a commotion when he was unconscious. Everyone knows the process." Gu Bai Qing bent her fingers and tapped the fence lightly, "Is there anything else you want to add?"

As soon as the words fell, the bald head shouted first: "Then let everyone go back last night, and the captain stayed alone on the deck all night, so what?"

Gu Baiqing nodded: "In order not to affect today's work, I also agree to the order to let everyone go back to rest first. As for the captain, because he misled everyone for no reason and disrupted the duty and order, he was fined to take turns on the deck. But there is one thing to declare, he is not alone, there are Wei Lan and two other people on duty. Is there anything else to add?"

The bald man opened his mouth, and looked around hesitantly.

Gu Baiqing looked down at him: "You might as well say what you want."

The gentle tone restored the bald head's momentum, and said bluntly: "Then I can tell you, according to the forward trajectory, I will definitely pass by the black eye. Everyone knows the black eye, right?"

Black eye……?

There was a commotion on the deck.

Who doesn't know black eyes?Although people who make a living at sea call themselves outlaws, the people on the shore are afraid of sea monsters, they don't say it, but they have the same fear in their hearts.Unlike the sea monsters that appear and disappear, there is such a maverick huge seal entrenched in the well-known reefs, and all passing ships are crushed, and no one survives.Therefore, the black eye is also known as the cemetery.

Seeing that everyone was discussing with fear, Gu Baiqing admitted frankly: "It is true, the route of our voyage this time includes black eyes."

"How about that?"

"This is death!"

"Why didn't you tell me before boarding the boat?"

"I said I would not go with the boat! Can they say it?"

"fraud!"

"I'm not going!"

……

Wiggin stood behind the crowd, looking up at him.Compared with everyone's overly burly figure, Gu Baiqing was a little thinner, with a straight back, standing on the second floor, looking down at everyone with calm eyes, it seemed that no amount of dissent could shake him in the slightest.

"The sailing route has always been determined and known only by the captain and first officer. The crew only needs to know the destination. Everyone knows this rule, right?" Gu Baiqing's tone was still gentle, chewing his laziness slowly, "Everyone is sitting on the same boat , can the captain and I still run halfway? In fact, the captain and I have already passed by the black eye when we went out to sea last time, shouldn’t we still stand here and talk to everyone? If there is a better choice, I will not Taking the risk of breaking into the black eye, and if I don't have the confidence to take everyone out safely, I will not take the risk on myself."

"Have you ever been to Black Eye?"

"Really?"

"It's such a big deal, at least say it in advance."

The tense atmosphere in the crowd seemed to have eased a bit, and the murmurs also weakened.

However, Gu Baiqing suddenly withdrew his gentle intentions, with a sharp look on his brows, his eyes coldly swept over the few people who were leading the yelling, and said slowly: "Before boarding the ship, don't ask about the route or the goods; Finally, obey the orders of the captain and the first mate, this is the most basic rule. There are some things that you don’t need to know, and you can’t ask about things you shouldn’t know, do you need me to remember it for you?”

The bald head flinched and took a step back.

"Why should the voyage route be kept secret? It is to prevent people with ulterior motives from fishing in troubled waters." Gu Baiqing's cold gaze forced his bald head to sweat profusely. What do you want to do?"

Everyone looked at the bald head in shock.

"I, I didn't..." The bald head shook his head in fear.

"Dahei, take him down and confine him for three days." Gu Baiqing interrupted his defense and ordered directly.

After the bald head was dragged away, Gu Baiqing scanned the crew who had calmed down, and continued to ask, "Does anyone have any questions?"

Everyone bowed their heads silently, watching their hearts, no one dared to speak.

Gu Baiqing nodded in satisfaction, and regained his gentle voice: "Everyone must have been tired after having a false alarm last night, and they will inevitably be instigated by people with ulterior motives, so let's forget it this time. The captain also bears part of the responsibility, in order to show fairness, I decided to allocate part of his account and share it with everyone when returning home."

The crew all raised their heads in unison, with surprise in their eyes.

The captain turned his head abruptly, and Gu Baiqing looked over coldly as if he had expected it a long time ago, his sharp eyes forced him to turn his face away in aggrieved manner, daring to be angry but not to speak.

"Okay, let's go, what should we do?" Gu Baiqing rushed down and waved his hands, then turned around and grabbed the captain's collar, and walked away, "Come with me."

The captain stretched out his hand to Wei Lan begging for help, but only got a merciless turn.

No one cared about the captain who was dragged away, and no one cared about the bald head who had been brought down a long time ago. Everyone laughed, and the fear just now was gone.

"Hey, there's money again."

"If you have money, you forget about the black eyes?" Someone was still thinking about the sea monster, and the voice was cautious.

"Didn't you hear what little brother Gu said just now? He has been to Heiyan a long time ago, isn't he alive and well?"

"Everyone has come back from the black eye, let's see how promising you are."

"That's right, follow Brother Gu, what kind of octopus and sea monster are you afraid of?"

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen a sea monster with my own eyes yet."

"I'll let you see enough this time."

"Fuck you!"

……

The crowd dispersed happily, Wei Jin walked forward along the flow of people, wondering what he was thinking with the corners of his eyes downcast.

Gu Baiqing carried the captain, walked through the cabin all the way, directly pushed the captain's room, and threw the person in casually.

"Slow down," the captain staggered against the corner of the table, wrinkling his face in pain, and complained, "Can't you handle it with care?"

"Handle with care?" Gu Baiqing closed the door, turned his head to show a fierce look, "Let me ease everyone's emotions, you are good, you are so excited that people are about to riot!"

The captain was frightened by his fierce appearance, stood at attention tremblingly: "I want to appease them, how could I know..."

"You know they are scared, but you still threaten them to shut up? Tell them to wash the toilet?" Gu Baiqing's eyes and brows were cold, "I think you should be locked up first!"

"...I am the captain."

"Fortunately, you are the captain." Gu Baiqing pushed him away, casually dragged a chair and sat down, and looked at the map on the table.

The captain leaned on the edge of the table to stand firm, but he didn't dare to sit down. He looked at the sky and the earth, but he didn't dare to look at him.

"What do you think of what happened last night?"

"What?" The captain was startled, and then answered blankly, "I know I was wrong."

Gu Baiqing squinted at him in distaste: "Everyone knows things well, so there's no need to repeat them all the time."

Then you still ask me... The captain is full of complaints and wants to run away because of grievances.

"We have a ghost on board."

Gu Baiqing's light and fluffy words made the captain short of breath again in fright.
