Chapter 672 Henry's Diary (Part 2)

January 7:

The worst thing happened, as Sean said with a crow's mouth, we are really stuck!

On the third day of the ship’s voyage in the ice area, the ice floes in front of it became more and more dense, and when encountering large floes, they had to be careful to get out of the way, and the forward speed seemed to shrink. This look may not be as efficient as bypassing.

But today, shrinking like that has become an extravagant hope, because after one night, at some point, the sea where our ship is located has been frozen, and the front and rear are all covered with a vast ice field, and the ship is stuck in place.

I asked the crew to try a variety of methods to get out of the predicament, including ice cutting or blasting, but none of them worked. Obviously, it is impossible to get the ship off the frozen ice by artificial means.

I was a little panicked as I had never been on a long voyage before. I asked Sean what should I do next? He said that the only way to get out of trouble now is to wait for the weather to warm and the ice to melt.

I asked: Is this ice bound to melt?

Sean's answer is not necessarily, and he also told me what I might encounter if it doesn't melt. If luck is good, the ice will get thicker and thicker. If the boat can be jacked up, then the boat can start. Being pressed under the ice layer, the ship will be crushed and they will lose the possibility of survival.

I have thought about having people drag the lifeboat back to ask for help, but the Victory will not wait for us where it is, and it has been ordered to continue to circle around. I am afraid that it has already circled the ice floes at this time, right?

For the first time hearing this, I regretted my willful way. If I had listened to Xiao En's words and continued to detour, at least I would still be bathing in the spring sunshine at this time, right?

At this time, I was actually praying that the Victory would not arrive at the destination so soon. Polly's loyalty to me is unquestionable, but if he thinks that I am dead, he will not only get the glory and honor that originally belonged to me when he returns. Wealth, and my beautiful Yetina!

God, I can't imagine how I will face my remarried wife when I go back, and Polly who promised to take care of my wife and daughter

January 30:

We have been trapped in this ghost place for twenty-three days. According to Xiao En's prediction, the ice will melt until at least May and June, which means we have to stay in this ghost place for three months!

Supplies are not a big problem. After all, I have enough canned food for two years. Even if I am stuck here for a year, I will not starve to death, and there is a fresh water device on board.

I was wondering if Polly, the first mate, would come to rescue him if he found resources in the Eastern Continent?

February 6:

Problems began to appear on the ship, most of the food was rotten, and there would always be an inexplicable musty smell on the ship at any time. The chef said that the best way to deal with the rot was to add more salt, which the crew could not eat!

I don't know what to say about this statement, but I really can't publicize this matter at this time, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to control these crew members. After all, the small amount of food that has no signs of spoilage is enjoyed by us high-level people. If found, riots are likely to occur!

February 8:

The condition of the sailors on the ship was getting worse and worse. Their faces were pale and swollen, their teeth were slowly turning black, and they emitted an inexplicable stench whenever they spoke.

The most important thing is the eyeballs. For some unknown reason, the eyeballs of these crew members gradually turned green. They wandered around the deck at night like living corpses. The situation was very disturbing.

February 11: The condition of the crew became more and more obvious. In just a few days, the sailors who were originally fat and strong became thin and bony. The skeletons on the faces were visible to the naked eye. Like flesh and blood, like skeletons in human skin!

The changes in the crew made me very disturbed. Logically speaking, although we secretly asked the chef to feed the sailors rotten food, the amount has never been less. How could everyone be so thin?

Even the untouchables in the slums who can only eat a piece of black bread a day can't become like this ghost?

What's weird is that these crew members don't seem to be aware of their own changes. From the beginning to the end, none of the crew members raised any objections. The honesty is a bit scary.

February 13:

We convened a meeting with the top management on the ship to discuss the situation of the crew. The second and third mates thought it was not a big problem. Although the crew looked scary, they seemed very stable and worked hard. There was nothing wrong with it. Too abnormal.

But I, the captain and Sean felt that something was wrong. Although these crew members didn’t do anything, when they looked at people, sometimes they didn’t look at people, but at food, and this appearance was definitely not pure. The food spoiled the shipbuilder, and Sean thought it might be a magical image!

February 15:

The third officer is missing!

It was as if the world had evaporated, without leaving any traces. We searched the entire cabin but couldn’t find it. Some crew members said that they saw the third mate walk off the ship quietly last night, but I was very worried about the testimony of the crew members. I don't believe it.

I think something terrible must have happened to the third mate, and most likely these crew members did it!

I found Sean, and I told him the horrible conjecture in my heart, hoping he could give me some ideas.

Like me, Sean also suspects that there is something wrong with these crew members. According to him, these crew members were originally excellent Sears retired Navy, with top reputation and professional ethics in the industry. I have worked with them more than once , there would be no problem in theory.

But the changes in their body shape have been weird recently. It is very likely that there is unknown magic in this place, which caused some terrible changes to them.

But there is no evidence, if you deal with it rashly, all the crew members must be disposed of, but such a large ship, if there is no other crew members, it is difficult to guarantee the voyage after the ice sheet melts, at least the people in the engine and wheel department have to stay. I have to rely on them to maintain the engine for a month

After several discussions, Sean suggested to press the matter first, and then the two of them could sleep in the same room, and he would personally protect their own safety!

Sean is a high-level Silver Knight. In terms of force alone, he can solve all the crew members by himself. Having his protection makes me feel at ease.

At the same time, I feel a little guilty towards Sean. If I had listened to his words, I might not be in such a passive situation now!

February 18:

I heard a horrible thing today. I got up early in the morning and wanted to go to the wheel position to check the engine condition, but suddenly I heard the people in the wheel group talking quietly.

These days I don’t trust the crew at all, so I decided to take this opportunity to listen to the corner and see what these guys are doing secretly.

But what happened next was too scary. They said that I have been neurotic recently, talking to myself all the time, and often mentioning Sean, but the crew are discussing who Sean is?

Some crew members suspected that I had hit a ghost, and some crew members said that I was too nervous recently and had hallucinations?

These words made me feel confused, I hurried back to the room to record all this, the crew didn't know who Sean was?

What are you kidding? As the crew of the Triumph, they don't know who their captain is? This is what I paid a lot of money to hire.

Huh?

No, when did you hire Sean? What's Sean's background? Why can't I remember it all at once?

hell! !

What's going on here?

No no no!

I suddenly had a doubt in my heart, why should I hire an outsider, Sean, as the captain? Isn't Polly an experienced captain? Why should I let him be the second officer?

Could it be that there really is no such person as Sean?

So who is that guy I've been communicating with these days?

There's a knock on the door, damn it, it's Sean, what do I do? Who should I trust?
