Xiao Yu looked into Xiao Ze’s eyes, which were full of confusion and satisfaction with the current life, and he sighed.
"Ze, you can’t possibly stay on this island forever."
"Then, by boarding this ship, can we leave this island?"
Xiao Yu shook her head, "No, I just want to use this ship to check out the situation outside. After all, we’ve been isolated here for two or three months. You also want to know if our grandparents and parents are still alive, right?"
When she mentioned their relatives, Xiao Ze fell silent, "Okay, Sister, I’ll listen to you. I’ll stay and wait for you. You must come back safely."
Xiao Yu, using the ropes on the ship, slowly climbed aboard. Although the deck was empty, it was piled with many large wooden barrels; she didn’t know what was inside them.
She didn’t rush down to the cabin but went to the control room first. Before she even pulled the door open, she saw flies buzzing inside. The ship’s windows and doors were made of glass. Although they weren’t as clear as modern ones, it was still impressive they could be made to this extent.
She went closer and, as expected, saw six or seven people lying haphazardly inside. By their appearance, they had been dead for many days, and a foul odor continuously seeped out from beneath the door, stinging her nose.
"Liang Tian, do you have anything like Bone-dissolving Water? Leaving these bodies here will only infect more people. I definitely won’t carry them. Burning the ship wouldn’t completely destroy the bodies, so using Bone-dissolving Water to eliminate them would be best."
"There is some, but it’s quite expensive. It’s ten thousand yuan per bottle. How will that be enough for you?"
Xiao Yu’s eyes darted about, and she hurriedly went onto the deck to check the large wooden barrels that one person couldn’t even embrace. She leaned over and took a sniff, and her eyes instantly lit up.
"This is alcohol, can alcohol be sold to the Space Mall? Then I’ll sell all of this, quickly, sell it all!"
Since nobody was watching now, Xiao Yu sold all thirty barrels of alcohol to the mall.
In the end, the selling price reached 230,000 yuan. Adding the ten thousand yuan she had in her Space Mall account, she had a total of 240,000 yuan.
She first bought four bottles, held her nose, and entered the control room. As she poured the corpse dissolving liquid over the bodies, the sound of sizzling and bubbling began. There were eight people in total; one bottle could dissolve three bodies. She used up three bottles, and the last bit was used on the nooks and crannies.
"Do I still need to disinfect this?"
Because the smell was so overpowering, Xiao Yu, covering her nose, walked out of the cabin. Liang Tian’s advice followed immediately: "You don’t need to. In the end, they will all turn into gas, and only a pool of bloodstains will remain on the ground. If you wash it with water, it’ll disappear. If you’re not at ease later, you can sprinkle some lime."
Xiao Yu shook her head, "I just need to make sure it won’t infect anyone. I don’t care about the rest. This also shows that these people died of the Black Death. Their bodies turned black, some parts suppurated; it’s undeniably the plague. If it’s up here, I fear it might be even more terrifying below."
Xiao Yu thought for a moment, then quickly bought a set of protective suit, a mask, and goggles from the Space Mall. She carefully dressed and protected herself before daring to head deeper into the ship.
The cabin was divided into three levels. She entered the second level and immediately smelled a strong stench, so intense that even in her protective suit, she felt suffocated.
She opened one room after another, finding no surprises, just bodies. From start to finish, across twelve rooms, she found a total of thirty-two bodies. Adding the eight from above, there were forty in total. Could this be everyone? ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NoveI[F]ire.net
