Inside the white coffin, a green human face was squeezed between the cracks of the coffin. The face was green and had fangs, and it looked more like a ghost than a human.
Now, this scary face was squeezed between the cracks of the coffin door. Its two eyeballs were rolling around, and it looked like it was desperately trying to squeeze out.
Seeing this, Jiang Qing's back was full of cold sweat. Although the coffin was tightly locked by chains, she was still very scared.
Right at this moment, a hand gently patted her shoulder. She coldly shouted and turned around to strike with her palm. Zuo Zhicheng gently caught her.
"Damn, you scared me to death."
Zuo Zhicheng ignored her and said directly, "Someone is coming. Hide here." As he said that, he pulled Jiang Qing, and the two of them walked past the coffin and hid in the corner on the other side of the warehouse.
Not long after, a burst of noisy voices could be heard. In Zuo Zhicheng's infrared vision, he could see three pink human bodies slowly walking over. This meant that their body strength was pink, which was the strength of the first stage of Innate Qi.
This strength was slightly stronger than ordinary people, but if they fought, Jiang Qing could probably deal with them.
The three people seemed to be from Da Qi State. As they walked over, they kept shouting.
"Damn, those foreigners are doing this on purpose. Everyone else has gone to distribute the goods, and they want us to move the coffin here."
"What can we do? Who told us to join them later?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Hurry up and move it. I'm starving."
As they spoke, two people, one fat and one short, had already pulled the two ends of the coffin. Then, a dark and skinny man pushed the middle of the coffin. The three of them dragged the coffin out of the warehouse in a wobbly manner.
As they moved, the ghoul inside struggled more and more violently, and it roared from time to time. The strange face kept squeezing between the cracks of the coffin, as if it couldn't wait to come out.
However, in the face of such a horrifying scene, the three people from Da Qi State seemed to be used to it.
Fatty, who was standing at the back, grumbled, "This grandson is too annoying. He's so noisy. Is there an end to it?"
The dark and thin man standing in the middle said, "He's already gone mad. How could he not go mad after being submerged in the sea for so long?"
The shortie at the front asked in fear, "Do you know why this guy was sunk?"
"Who knows?" Fatty cursed, "But that fake Japanese sure is ruthless. He thought he wouldn't be afraid of anything if he didn't die. They actually came up with such a method of torture. "
Zuo Zhicheng watched as the three figures staggered out of the room. In his mind, he was analyzing their conversation. It seemed that the three of them were also ghouls, and the ghoul in the coffin had committed some kind of mistake, so it was captured and sunk to the bottom of the sea.
'This seems to be some sort of internal punishment …'
A few minutes after the three of them left, Zuo Zhicheng patted Jiang Qing's shoulder, indicating that she could stand up.
"Most of them have gone to help the passenger ship. Follow me closely, we'll find a place to disembark."
The two of them dodged around on the steel ship. Relying on Zuo Zhicheng's skills and infrared vision, they managed to avoid the sight of more than ten ghouls and arrived at the deck at the back of the steel ship.
They saw that the ship was now docked in the interior of a cave-like place. It seemed to be the cave of some island on the sea.
Zuo Zhicheng instructed Jiang Qing to put on her diving suit and hung the hook on the railing. He said slowly, "Next, I need you to hold the rope. You don't have to climb, I'll lower you down bit by bit. Remember … don't make any noise, especially when your body is in the water."
Jiang Qing nodded nervously, "I understand."
Next, they saw Jiang Qing climb over the railing and grab the rope. Zuo Zhicheng lowered her down bit by bit, and then she fell into the water. After that, Zuo Zhicheng looked left and right. After making sure that there was no one around, he climbed down along the rope.
Then, as he stepped on the water, he shook his hand slightly. The hook on the other end of the rope flew straight down. Before it made a sound when it fell into the water, Zuo Zhicheng grabbed it tightly.
Zuo Zhicheng waved his hand, indicating that Jiang Qing should dive and follow.
In the cavern where they were now, other than the steel ship and the passenger ship they were on, there were four or five other passenger ships anchored in the cavern's harbor.
The inner side of the harbor was also in the cavern. It was lit up with torches by the pirates. Zuo Zhicheng could vaguely see that there seemed to be a few passages inside that led to the outside.
In order to not be discovered by the pirates on the dock and on the ship, Jiang Qing and Zuo Zhicheng dove from one side of the shadows to another under the command of Zuo Zhicheng. They kept getting closer to the location of the harbor.
After emerging from the water again, Zuo Zhicheng used his infrared vision to look in the direction of the harbor. He saw that there were light spots of various sizes flashing in the darkness. With this close observation, he could finally estimate the pirates' approximate strength.
'More than a hundred ordinary people. More than sixty people in pink, thirty people in purple, and four people in orange …' Zuo Zhicheng's eyes were fixed on the few people on the dock, especially the four people whose body strength was marked as orange. The distribution of orange body strength was 15%, 24%, 29%, and 38% respectively.
The strongest one's body strength was already above Zuo Zhicheng's. He was a Western man with short blond hair, a fierce face, and a height of more than two meters. He was the one who stood on the deck and ordered the pirates to transport the goods and escort the passengers.
Zuo Zhicheng was glad that he made the choice. If he stayed on the ship and fought with them, the possibility of death was too high.
Now that he saw the strength displayed by the other party, Zuo Zhicheng was even more puzzled. This kind of strength was strong enough for them to become an overlord in any place. It was even enough for them to take over the New Continent's government for a short period of time.
With such a strong force, why would they hide at sea and be willing to be pirates?
At this moment, Jiang Qing patted Zuo Zhicheng's shoulder, pointed at the water and said, "I think I saw a hole down there."
"A hole?" Zuo Zhicheng thought about it. Even if they wanted to go ashore, there were too many people on the dock. He was afraid that they would have to wait for the pirates to finish transporting the goods. If there was another passage that led directly to the island, it would be much more convenient.
"I'll go down and take a look. You stay here and don't get discovered."
Seeing that Jiang Qing nodded, Zuo Zhicheng took a deep breath and dived into the water.
After diving into the water, Zuo Zhicheng looked in the direction that Jiang Qing pointed out. It seemed that there was indeed a dark passage. So, he swam in the direction of the passage with both hands.
