However, in order to avoid crashing into the ship, Ángel Ortiz didn't dare to drive too fast. He controlled the speed of the boat from beginning to end to ensure that there was enough buffer time before they reached the ship.
Being on the sea, they didn't know the depth of the water below them. All around them was a thick white fog, completely enveloping them. They didn't know what was hidden in the fog, and the Umbrella Corporation's Arcadia ship was not far in front of them. They didn't know if there was any danger hidden in the fog!
In the silence, the speedboat slowly moved through the fog. Luther West and the others couldn't help but become more and more nervous.
However, when they saw the broad back of Chen Mo standing side by side with Alice at the front of the speedboat, their uneasy mood instantly calmed down.
Chen Mo had already led them through the terrifying sea of zombies formed by hundreds of thousands of zombies. What was a trifling fog to them?
As the speedboat moved forward, the moist fog brushed against their faces. Everyone on the boat couldn't help but feel a trace of chill. However, in their hearts, a fire was secretly brewing.
An even fiercer battle than before might be waiting for them ahead.
The speedboat moved farther and farther away. Everyone on the boat didn't speak. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the fog ahead, searching for the Arcadia ship.
After what seemed like a long time, the speedboat finally rushed out of the fog. The ship they saw on the coast before once again appeared in front of them.
At this time, they had already arrived in front of the ship. They were only a few dozen meters away from it. Compared to the ship they had seen from afar, the Arcadia now looked incomparably huge. It was like a huge fortress, almost occupying most of their field of vision!
The speedboat slowly approached and soon arrived below the Arcadia ship. A small platform was floating on the sea close to the Arcadia ship's huge body, connected to the gangway leading to the deck of the ship.
Ángel Ortiz controlled the speedboat to draw an arc and stop at the platform.
Luther West and Chris had already prepared the ropes in advance. After the speedboat stopped, they stepped onto the platform at the same time. Then they turned around and pulled the ropes, pulling the speedboat back to the platform.
After the two tied the ropes and fixed the speedboat, the rest of the people on the boat stepped down.
While the others turned around to observe the surroundings, Chen Mo and Alice looked at each other. Then Chen Mo directly took out his weapon and took the lead to step onto the gangway, walking up to the deck above.
Alice also took out the revolver at her waist and followed behind Chen Mo. While walking up the gangway, she was vigilant to guard against a sudden attack from the deck.
Since they already knew that this was a trap set by the Umbrella Corporation, Alice naturally wouldn't believe that there was no one on the ship. Everything they saw before was just a cover...
It was very likely that their arrival had already been discovered by the Umbrella Corporation. Maybe there were already people lying in ambush on the deck at this time.
Claire and Chen Mo had both seen a large number of armed personnel with their own eyes, so they naturally wouldn't let their guard down.
Seeing this, the others also took out their weapons and carefully followed. Soon, they climbed up the gangway and arrived on the deck of the Arcadia. The attack they imagined didn't happen.
The wide deck was just like what they had seen on the prison building before. It was empty, as if this was really just an empty ship.
But they weren't surprised by this. Although they already knew that this was a trap, the people of the Umbrella Corporation didn't know that their conspiracy had been exposed.
They didn't directly send people to the deck to catch them, so there might be other traps waiting for them behind.
"Let's go to the bridge."
Chen Mo's voice sounded in everyone's ears.
Then, they didn't stay on the deck. Under Chen Mo's leadership, a group of people carried their weapons and entered the bridge at the back of the deck on high alert.
Soon, they found that the bridge was the same as the deck outside. There wasn't a single person, but the computer and various equipment in the control room were still running. The ship's fuel, power, and all other parameters were all normal.
It seemed that there were people here not long ago, but for some reason, they had all disappeared. Were they hiding, or had they really left?
The group didn't let down their guard because of this. Luther West, Ángel Ortiz, and the others all held their weapons tightly and vigilantly looked around.
"Check the logbook."
Chen Mo said to Chris, who was standing next to the computer.
Chris immediately put his pistol back into the holster on his leg and operated in front of the computer.
Soon, he found something.
"The logbook shows that three days ago, all the crew members left on the lifeboat."
After Chris finished speaking, Alice suddenly remembered that after they landed on the prison building last night, Angel Ortiz had told her that the Arcadia broadcast signal they received had disappeared two days ago. If that was the case, it would coincide with the time the crew had left!
Was this a deliberate illusion created by the Umbrella Corporation, or did the crew members really leave?
While Alice was deep in thought with a frown on her face, Chris continued.
"In addition, according to the data in the logbook, there are more than 2,000 survivors on this ship."
Chris couldn't help but look up at Claire. If there were no accidents, the friends she wanted to save should be among them.
"2,000 people?!"
Everyone present couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this. None of them expected that there would be more than 2,000 survivors on this ship.
It seemed that the number of survivors who were attracted by the Arcadia broadcast was not small.
They had always thought that there weren't many people left in this world. They even thought that they were the only ones left in the world. But now, on this ship, there were more than 2,000 people!
Luther West, Ángel Ortiz, and the others couldn't help but look at each other. It seemed that their choice to take the risk and come up with Chen Mo to save people was a very correct decision.
At this moment, they were even more determined. Blindly escaping and lingering at death's door was definitely not a wise move. Defeating the Umbrella Corporation together with Chen Mo and saving the world was what they should do.
Just as everyone was surprised by the astonishing number of survivors on the ship, Claire suddenly spoke.
"Could this be a trap designed by the Umbrella Corporation?"
