Fu Zheng heard that he stuck his head out and looked down. After seeing clearly what it was, he subconsciously wanted to block Jiang Ya's curious sight.
But it was too late, she had already seen it.
Jiang Ya murmured softly, grabbed Fu Zheng's arm tightly with both hands, and asked with a trembling voice: "What... is it? Is it a ghost?"
Jiang Ya really doesn't have anything to be afraid of now, but she is only afraid of 'ghosts'.
For someone who usually doesn't even dare to watch horror movies, this is enough proof of her fear of those virtual creatures.
Fu Zheng patted Jiang Ya's back and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, it's just a floating corpse."
There were seven or eight corpses floating on the river that were whitened by the river water. It was quite frightening to see a pale face suddenly appear on the dark river surface.
After listening to Fu Zheng's words, Jiang Ya finally regained some of her emotions, as long as she wasn't a 'ghost'.
Feng Ming walked in from the deck and saw Jiang Ya being comforted by Fu Zheng in his arms. He asked worriedly, "Is Xiao Qi okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay."
Jiang Ya was a little embarrassed for such a mistake, so she stuck her head out of Fu Zheng's arms and said to Feng Ming.
"It's good that I'm not scared." Not to mention Jiang Ya, Feng Ming was shocked at first sight, and then he called Fu Zheng to confirm.
Chen Yu stretched his head back from watching the excitement and said doubtfully: "It's really strange. Why are there so many floating corpses here? Did someone throw them here intentionally?"
On the surface, these corpses are all human beings and not zombies. It is really weird for such a group of people to float together.
Regarding unknown events, Fu Zhengyi maintained a non-committal attitude.
The current situation is unclear, and he will not wade into muddy waters.
So he said to Feng Ming: "You take the helm and sail away from here as soon as possible. If you find anything wrong, don't act without authorization."
The first sentence was addressed to Feng Ming, but when the latter sentence was spoken, it was Chen Yu who was looking at him.
Chen Yu immediately raised his hands and said, "Don't worry, boss, I won't hold back the team."
After the explanation, Fu Zheng led Jiang Ya back to the room to rest.
"Go to bed early tonight, huh?"
Although I figured out what was in the river, I was still a little frightened.
Jiang Ya did not reject Fu Zheng's proposal and asked, "What about you? Do you still want to go up?"
"I'm not going," Fu Zheng shook the quilt on the bed, "I'll stay here with you."
Not long after the two lay down, there was a knock on the door.
After three very quiet 'dong dong dong' sounds, He Zhanpeng's deliberately lowered voice came, "Boss and Xiaoqi, are you asleep? There's something going on."
As soon as she heard something was going on, Jiang Ya immediately opened her eyes, lying in Fu Zheng's arms and staring at him with interest.
Fu Zheng was helpless by her seeking knowledge, so he had no choice but to compromise: "I know you can't sleep, let's go up and take a look."
The two got dressed and walked to the cabin, where they saw everyone standing by the glass window, staring at the darkness outside the window and not knowing what they were looking at.
Seeing the two people approaching, Chen Yu quickly moved to the side and motioned for Jiang Ya to come over and watch together.
Being really itched by their mysterious movements, Jiang Ya let go of Fu Zheng's hand and squeezed into Chen Yuliu's gap.
Looking out the window, what came into view was a large strange green flame flickering in the darkness.
"What is it?" Jiang Ya asked softly.
Fu Zheng, who silently walked behind her and put his chin on top of her head, explained to her: "Phosphorus fire, commonly known as ghost fire."
"Ah?" Jiang Ya exclaimed, "Does that prove that there are many corpses in that area?"
"Yes," Fu Zheng stretched out his hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear and gave a positive answer, "This also explains why there are a large number of floating corpses in the river."
The river bank must have been used as a morgue. The people who died after the apocalypse were simply thrown here without enough time to deal with them.
Jiang Ya scanned the darkness but found no valuable clues.
So he asked again: "There should be a base nearby, right? Otherwise, who will deal with these corpses?"
Fu Zheng recalled the map he looked at during the day and agreed with what Jiang Ya said.
"There is an official base nearby, and it is most likely converted into a survivor base."
"That's even weirder," Jiang Ya was puzzled. "Since there are so many corpses piled here, why are they not being eaten by zombies?"
Hearing this, Fu Zheng gently rubbed her cheek with his fingertips, "Why are you thinking so much? These are none of your concerns. You've seen the excitement, can you go back to sleep?"
Upon hearing the word "sleep", everyone's eyes turned to the two of them.
Jiang Ya originally thought it was normal, but after being stared at by them like this, her face instantly felt a little hot.
She quietly pinched Fu Zheng to signal him not to talk nonsense.
Fu Zheng naturally didn't dare to disobey the little girl. He glared at his brothers and said fiercely: "What are you looking at? Are you having trouble sleeping? Don't you want to sleep? Take your eyes back."
It's okay if he didn't say this, but when he did, Chen Yu was the first to start making noises.
"Oh~ I know! Go to sleep~~~!"
After his sudden attack, Fu Zheng threw him over his shoulder.
Chen Yu lay on his back, grinning in pain.
He Zhanpeng gave him two words: He deserves it!
After the floating corpse episode, nothing special happened in the next month.
Over the past month, the weather has gradually become hotter. In May, the temperature has already reached over 40 degrees.
The rancid smell that originally dispersed in the air due to the cold weather suddenly spread again, and it was impossible to go out without wearing a mask.
Fortunately, the ship is air-conditioned and powered by diesel. This is the only thing that makes Jiang Ya comfortable.
She stocked up on enough diesel so she didn't have to worry about using it at all.
If there was no air conditioning in the 50-degree weather, they would most likely be floating on the river like mutated fish turned over on their bellies and sunburned to death if they stayed outside for a long time.
Fu Zheng brought half a chilled watermelon to Jiang Ya and walked into the room. The moment he entered, he quickly closed the door to ensure that no smell came in.
If the little girl smells those smells, she won't have to eat dinner today.
Fu Zheng looked at Jiang Ya who was lying on the bed with worried eyes. She had not eaten well for several days.
When she saw him coming in with watermelon, she didn't even have much appetite.
Fu Zheng placed the watermelon on the bedside, sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to touch her forehead.
I don’t have a fever or feel any discomfort. I just can’t eat, so what can I do?
Thinking of a possibility, Fu Zheng hesitated for a long time before asking: "Daughter-in-law, when was your last menstrual period? Is it coming soon this month?"
When Jiang Ya heard this, she glanced at him and choked him angrily: "I'm already like this, and you're still thinking about that?"
