Shen Xixi couldn't remember how she got back to her room. She took out the bottle of sleeping pills she bought before boarding the ship from her backpack, opened the cap, and found that it was empty.
Therefore, she could only wash up and lie on the bed.
After a day of intense training, she was physically and mentally exhausted, but she still couldn't fall asleep.
Shen Xixi didn't know why, but the duration of the hallucinations this time was much longer than the previous ones. Now, no matter where she looked, she would see strange scenes that ordinary people's minds couldn't bear.
When Shen Xixi tried to close her eyes, her imagination became more acute. Those indescribable things filled her mind as if they were going to devour her.
At this time, Shen Xixi inexplicably thought of Zhang Heng. The latter must have suffered from this kind of horrible hallucinations, especially during the days when he lived in seclusion in the mountains. Shen Xixi didn't know how Zhang Heng managed to survive. Compared to her, Zhang Heng still had the Immunity Crystal with him.
However, the Immunity Crystal could only be used three times, and Zhang Heng still had one left. He gave it to the little girl who had been with him for a few weeks.
Then where did he use the previous two chances?
Since Zhang Heng's death, Shen Xixi had been trying to avoid remembering things related to Zhang Heng. In addition to the fact that she couldn't accept Zhang Heng's death, there was always a knot in her heart — Zhang Heng's last choice.
Sometimes, Shen Xixi felt that she could understand Zhang Heng. After all, he was forced into a desperate situation that night. Except for a few people, the whole world wanted him to die in that valley. So, he naturally had enough reason to take revenge on the world. It was a very fair thing to do.
Shen Xixi, on the other hand, felt that the Zhang Heng she knew should be more than that. However, her rationality did not allow her to convince herself like Meinan and Zhang Heng's father did. She had to believe in an illusory thing.
So she could only silently hide this matter in the bottom of her heart. Until tonight, her spirit was on the verge of breaking because of the uncontrollable hallucinations. She couldn't help but recall a lot of things.
With her observation skills, she shouldn't have missed those details.
Shen Xixi realized that there were too many unexplainable factors behind Zhang Heng's death. In the last two weeks of his life, why did he run into the mountains alone? What did he do during that time? Looking at the traps he had set up in the mountains, it was obvious that he had anticipated the battle that night. Since that was the case, why didn't he escape before?
Even the villager who tipped him off earlier was an unstable factor that Zhang Heng should not have ignored.
Shen Xixi put herself in Zhang Heng's shoes. She wanted to think and understand Zhang Heng's mentality and thoughts at that time. But now, she had been tortured by the ubiquitous hallucinations, and it was difficult for her to fully focus.
In addition, for some unknown reason, the sea was exceptionally stormy tonight. The Deep Sea Hunter's ship was rocking in the waves, and the people inside felt like they were sitting on a pirate ship in an amusement park. Even many people who had fallen asleep were shaken awake by the storm. The sailors were also nervously waiting at their respective posts.
Shen Xixi already felt a little disgusted. Now, she had no choice but to get out of bed and look for the trash can.
Not long after Shen Xixi finished vomiting, a sudden alarm rang throughout the cabin.
From the length of the alarm, Shen Xixi could tell that it was an enemy attack!
So the next moment, her whole body trembled violently. Could it be that Zhang Heng is here? If that was the case, it would explain why the hallucinations lasted so long tonight. Was it because Zhang Heng was nearby?
When Shen Xixi thought of this, she did not feel fear. Instead, she faintly looked forward to it.
She knew her mental condition the best, and it was deteriorating day by day. If she delayed any longer, she might die in this vast sea before she could see Zhang Heng.
Shen Xixi went under the bed, took out the small scale that Justitia gave her, pushed the door open, and walked to the deck.
The corridor was very lively now, and almost all the rooms' doors were open. A group of players in the guest rooms were either putting on their clothes or checking the weapons in their hands. As the ship kept shaking, there were things like beer bottles and toilet paper rolling on the floor. The team leaders were counting the members of their teams, and everyone looked very nervous.
Although they knew that such a day would come before they boarded the ship, it didn't mean that they could remain unmoved and face it calmly when it really came.
Shen Xixi rarely interacted with other players. Now that a big battle was about to happen, no one had the time to care about her. Shen Xixi walked all the way to the deck.
At this moment, the sky seemed to have been pierced by something, and heavy rain poured down from the hole. The dense raindrops had completely merged into one. Coupled with the terrifying wind and thunder, even if the people on the deck were only a few meters apart, they had to shout to barely communicate.
Shen Xixi held the gun on the side to stabilize her body. At the same time, her eyes quickly swept around and found the man in the flowery shirt among several figures on the port deck.
Although the ship was constantly rocking in the storm and huge waves, the man in the flowery shirt stood firmly like a reef. No matter how the wind and rain hit him, he remained motionless. Seeing his figure, the sailors on the deck seemed to be less afraid.
The man in the flowery shirt held the binoculars and looked somewhere.
The next moment, Shen Xixi's voice came from behind him. "Is he here?"
"It's not him. It's them." The man in the flowery shirt looked serious. He handed the binoculars in his hand to Shen Xixi. Shen Xixi took it, put it in front of her eyes, and looked in the direction the man in the flowery shirt was looking at.
However, the visibility at sea was very low. As far as Shen Xixi's eyes could see, there were only tumbling waves. That was until a thick bolt of lightning struck the sea and lit up the night sky.
With the flash of light, Shen Xixi saw a group of densely packed black shadows in the sea. It was a group of ugly half-human, half-frogfish monsters. Their numbers were unknown, but there were at least a thousand of them. They were swimming towards them. For a moment, Shen Xixi thought she was hallucinating.
But the next moment, she heard the man in the flowery shirt say, "Deep Ones!"
His voice was colder than the raindrops that fell on his skin. He then ordered the adjutant next to him, "Prepare to drop the depth charges."
"Should we drop them all?"
"No, use half of them. The other half will be left to deal with the main target." After a pause, the man in the flowery shirt added, "That is, if we can survive this attack."
