Anyone would be shocked to see such a hand, not to mention that Jiang Qing was a woman. Although she had been practicing martial arts for a long time, it didn't mean that she wasn't afraid of this kind of thing.
She took a deep breath, her eyes were full of horror, and she opened her mouth to scream. Fortunately, Zuo Zhicheng's eyes were sharp and his hands were fast. He directly pressed his hand on her mouth.
Then he made a shushing gesture.
Shhh!
Jiang Qing also reacted. If she screamed and was discovered by the pirates, they would be done for. Suppressing the fear in her heart, Jiang Qing hugged Zuo Zhicheng's arm tightly.
She sounded like she was about to cry, "What is that thing?"
Zuo Zhicheng patted her shoulder to make her relax, then turned to look at the coffin. He wanted to take a step forward, but found that his arm was tightly held by Jiang Qing. Seeing him turn his head, Jiang Qing was still crying and shaking her head.
Zuo Zhicheng was amused. He patted Jiang Qing's shoulder and said, "It's okay. It's just a zombie or something. Besides, it's locked in there and can't get out."
Jiang Qing slowly let go of her hand after being comforted by Zuo Zhicheng. Maybe she felt that whatever was in the coffin was locked, or maybe she felt that she was overreacting. She blushed and said, "I think this thing is very evil. Let's just avoid it."
"Let me take a look first." Zuo Zhicheng slowly approached the coffin. At the same time, he adjusted his left eye to night vision mode.
He wanted to use the night vision mode to see clearly what was inside the coffin. He stood about ten centimeters away from the white arm and looked into the coffin with his eyes wide open.
In the night vision mode, the situation inside the coffin slowly appeared in front of Zuo Zhicheng's eyes. It was also at this moment that a wailing voice that sounded like the howling of an old cat sounded from the coffin. The arm grabbed at Zuo Zhicheng all of a sudden.
The fingernails of the hand suddenly grew more than four or five inches, desperately trying to grab Zuo Zhicheng's head.
At this critical moment, Zuo Zhicheng reached out his right hand and calmly grabbed the pale wrist. The hand struggled desperately, but no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't escape Zuo Zhicheng's hand. Zuo Zhicheng's arm was like a mountain, not moving at all.
Zuo Zhicheng could sense the strength coming from the other party's arm. Although the other party's strength was slightly stronger than Viktor, Mary, and the rest, he was still weaker than Zuo Zhicheng.
After seeing the situation inside the coffin, he roughly guessed what was going on.
When Jiang Qing saw this scene, she was shocked. However, when she saw Zuo Zhicheng calmly grabbing onto the other party's wrist, she heaved a sigh of relief. "What exactly is it?"
Zuo Zhicheng frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Those pirates are actually not humans, but something called ghouls."
"What did you say? Ghouls? " Jiang Qing looked at Zuo Zhicheng in surprise, but she suddenly remembered Mary's appearance in the cabin and immediately believed him.
Then, Zuo Zhicheng roughly told her about the ghouls and pirates. During this time, the hand in the coffin was held by Zuo Zhicheng, and no matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't break free.
"Could it be that in this coffin …" Hearing Zuo Zhicheng's information about the ghouls, Jiang Qing looked in the direction of the coffin and said in disbelief.
"Yes, it should be a ghoul too." Zuo Zhicheng saw a ghoul with a green face and fangs in the coffin. "But it's a little strange. This guy seems to have been put in the coffin and then sunk into the sea. They should have just fished it out recently."
As he spoke, Zuo Zhicheng released the hand, and the ghoul in the coffin immediately withdrew its hand. This time, it seemed to be a little scared, and it didn't stretch out its hand again.
"It seems to have lost its mind and can't speak." Zuo Zhicheng understood that if a person was really locked up like this, it was very likely that they would go crazy. Although he didn't know if ghouls were still considered humans, there was another problem.
When they were on the ship, the bodies of Peter and the others could be scanned with infrared vision, but the ghoul in front of them was like a zombie. There was no heat at all.
And why was this ghoul locked in a coffin? Why was it sunk into the sea and then fished out? There were obviously countless questions, but Zuo Zhicheng couldn't solve them now.
But at least after confirming that the one in the coffin was just a crazy ghoul, Zuo Zhicheng didn't think it was much of a threat, so he let it be. Once again, Jiang Qing went to the corner of the cabin and hid there.
After they hid there for about an hour, the two ships began to move again. The pirates sent some people to the passenger ship and drove the two ships together to the location of the pirate base.
…
About three hours later, which was Zuo Zhicheng's estimation according to the number he silently counted. A vibration was transmitted from the hull under his feet.
Zuo Zhicheng, who was sitting cross-legged in the warehouse, opened his eyes and said faintly, "We should be here."
Jiang Qing also stood up and asked, "Then what do we do? Do we go down now? "
"You wait here. They may be loading things into the warehouse. I'll go outside and check the situation." With that, Zuo Zhicheng walked out in two or three steps. He was like a fish in the dark, instinctively hiding in the shadows.
He didn't just hide. When Nightsea activated, all the light around him was absorbed. He seemed to have turned into a shadow.
In Jiang Qing's sight, Zuo Zhicheng's figure disappeared in an instant. But because she trusted Zuo Zhicheng, she waited in place without moving. She only looked back at the coffin from time to time.
Previously, when Zuo Zhicheng was with her, she didn't feel anything. Now that she was alone, she felt a chill down her spine.
Hiss ~ ~ ~
At this moment, the sound of metal rubbing against each other came from the coffin, followed by a sharp, ear-piercing roar.
When Jiang Qing heard this sound, her whole body trembled. She endured it for a while, but found that the sound seemed to be getting louder and louder, accompanied by the clattering of chains.
'Did that thing crawl out?'
Thinking of this, Jiang Qing felt even more uneasy. But the sound was getting louder and louder, as if an old cat was scratching her heart with its claws.
'What's going on? Did it really crawl out? '
In the end, Jiang Qing couldn't help but turn around and tiptoe to the coffin.
