Afternoon.
On the cargo ship.
Dong Xuebing was panting as he stepped onto the deck. He looked around and saw three Asian crew members standing about three meters away from him. They are the three people he had seen on the reef earlier. From their facial features and attire, they look like Japanese. One of them was smoking a cigarette, and the other two were smiling. They seem to be joking with STOP earlier.
Dong Xuebing moved aside and muttered STOP.
The frozen time returned to normal.
"Who do you think that man is?"
"He should be a fisherman in distress. Why did he come here?"
"That's right. Haha … What a joke. He still wants us to save him."
"I think he can't live for more than a few days. He did not eat or drink, and he will die here sooner or later."
"Yes. We had purposely taken a detour to this part of the sea. There should not be any ships passing by here."
"Eh? Where did he go? Look at that reef? "
"Did he drown in the waves?"
"I don't see any waves. Could he be swimming and chasing us? "
"Hahaha … That's silly. Swimming? He should be able to catch up with us! "
Dong Xuebing does not understand what they are saying, but he could tell they are speaking in a dialect of Japanese. Are they really Japanese? Damn! I had boarded your country's plane and got into trouble, and you all are not going to help me? But Dong Xuebing could tell from their expressions that they are not crew members of a merchant fleet. They look like hooligans. Dong Xuebing looked at the waists of those three men, and his eyes narrowed. He finally knew why they did not save him. There are gun holsters on their waists, and Dong Xuebing can see a black gun inside!
Are they a kurofune?
Are they drug dealers or smugglers?
Dong Xuebing suddenly realized what was going on. Normal cargo ships will not pass by this remote area with reefs. So, it turns out that they are not doing legitimate business. But Dong Xuebing is not in the mood to be a busybody. He needs to get some water as he had run for a few hundred meters and could barely stand.
STOP!
Time froze!
Dong Xuebing looked at the three Japanese and walked over from the back. He turned around and entered the cabin, closing the door behind him.
A middle-aged patrolling man with a gun stood in the corridor.
Dong Xuebing walked past Dong Xuebing's clothes and looked around every room.
After a while, Dong Xuebing's eyes brighten up, and he entered a room that looks like a lounge. There is no one in this room, and he can smell a light fragrance. Dong Xuebing closed the door and looked around the room. There is a bed, a square table, a coffee table, a TV, and two pieces of bread on the table. There is also a pot of brewed coffee, but the coffee is no longer hot.
It was quite luxurious. Was this the captain's lounge?
Dong Xuebing immediately cancels STOP!
"* * @ @ @ # # # # @ @ @ …" The TV was on, and a string of Japanese words popped up.
Dong Xuebing took a glance and sat on the bed. He grabbed the coffee pot and finished it in one gulp!
How delightful!
Dong Xuebing picked up the bread and finished it.
There is nothing better than having enough food and water.
Dong Xuebing did not treat himself as an outsider. After he finished his meal, he took off his tattered clothes and threw them under the bed. He wiped his body with a wet towel and combed his hair. After that, he searched around the room and found a suit and leather shoes. The suit was a little too big, but the leather shoes were fine. Dong Xuebing looked at himself in the mirror and nodded.
Finally, he looks like a proper person.
Oh, I still don't know where this ship is heading to.
This is the most important question. This concerns whether Dong Xuebing can return home. He immediately searched around the room and took out a map from a kettle. It's a long island. It's a map of Japan, and there are some sea routes marked on it. There is a circle on the map, and it should be the destination. It's a coastal city, not far from Tokyo.
Back to Japan?
Actually, Dong Xuebing does not mind, as he does not expect to meet a ship heading back to China. So be it. Anyway, he can return to China once he reaches land.
Dong Xuebing kept the map and found a box of Seven Star Cigarettes under the coffee table. He lit a cigarette and took a few puffs.
It's been a few days since I smoked.
Dong Xuebing crossed his legs and started watching TV. It's as if he is the captain of the ship.
At this time, a piece of news on TV attracted Dong Xuebing's attention. He does not know what kind of signal is on the ship, and he doesn't know if this program is being recorded or broadcast live in Japan. Anyway, a flight number appeared on the screen. J736!
It's the plane Dong Xuebing was on!
Dong Xuebing was furious when he saw this. The engine caught fire! The emergency door could not be opened! What kind of crappy plane is this?!
The scene changed, and the host of the program said something in Japanese. Then, a sea full of floating objects came into view. This was shot by a high-altitude helicopter, and there were several ships below, which seemed to be disturbing the wreckage of the plane and some floating objects.
The sea where the accident happened?
Dong Xuebing frowned. He can read some Japanese characters, and he saw the words "237 people" and "killed." It had been so many days, and the news is still reporting about this plane crash. This incident had caused a huge commotion, but it's not surprising. 237 lives were lost, and this is considered the highest number of people killed in previous air accidents.
The news continued.
No survivors?
Search and rescue operations are suspended?
Only a portion of the bodies were salvaged? The rest of the bodies were engulfed by the explosion?
After watching the news, Dong Xuebing knew he had guessed correctly. No one would think anyone can survive in such a situation. All the bodies were killed.
No survivors?
Dong Xuebing lay on the bed to rest for a while before smoking a cigarette and taking a sip of water. After that, he looked at his palm and sighed. He was still fearful when he thought about his life and death experiences. If Dong Xuebing did not have BACK and STOP, and if he had not met this "Kurofune," he would have died. It's a miracle that Dong Xuebing could survive this incident.
