48 Hours a Day

Chapter 1406: It Wasn’t Him, It Was Them

Shen Xixi couldn’t remember how she got back to her room. She took out the bottle of sleeping pills that she had bought before she boarded the ship from her backpack. She opened the bottle cap and found that it was empty.

After that, she could only wash up briefly and lay on the bed.

After a day of intense training, her body and mind were exhausted, but she still couldn’t fall asleep.

Shen Xixi did not know why, but the duration of this hallucination was longer than the previous ones. No matter where she looked now, she would see strange scenes that ordinary people could not bear.

When Shen Xixi tried to close her eyes, her imagination became sharper. Those indescribable things filled her mind, as if they were going to devour her.

At that moment, Shen Xixi suddenly thought of Zhang Heng. The latter should have also suffered from this kind of terrifying hallucination, especially during his time in seclusion in the mountain. Shen Xixi didn’t know how Zhang Heng survived, although compared to her, Zhang Heng still had the [ immune crystal ] on him.

However, the [ immune crystal ] was only used three times, and Zhang Heng had one last use left for the little girl he had spent a few weeks with.

So where had he used his previous two chances?

Ever since Zhang Heng’s death, Shen Xixi had been avoiding remembering things related to Zhang Heng. Other than the fact that it was difficult for her to accept Zhang Heng’s death.., there was also a knot in her heart — that was Zhang Heng’s final choice.

Sometimes, Shen Xixi felt that she could understand Zhang Heng. After all, he had been forced into a desperate situation that night. Other than a few people, the whole world wished for him to die in that valley, therefore, he naturally had enough reasons to take revenge on the world. This was a very fair thing to do.

However, Shen Xixi felt that the Zhang Heng she knew was more than that. However, her rationality could not convince her to believe in an illusory thing like Fan Meinan and father Zhang.

Therefore, she could only keep this matter in the bottom of her heart. Until Tonight, her mind was on the verge of shattering due to those uncontrollable hallucinations. However, she could not help but think of many things.

Those details that should not have been overlooked with her observational skills.

Shen Xixi realized that there were too many unexplainable factors to Zhang Heng’s death that night. In the last two weeks of his life, why did he run into the mountains alone? What did he do during that time? Looking at the trap he had set up in the mountains, it was obvious that he had expected the battle that night. If that was the case, why didn’t he run away earlier?

Even the villager who had tipped him off earlier, with Zhang Heng’s cautiousness, should not have overlooked this unstable factor.

Shen Xixi placed herself in Zhang Heng’s shoes, wanting to think and understand Zhang Heng’s state of mind and thoughts at the time. However, right now, she was being tormented by those omnipresent hallucinations, it was difficult for her to fully focus her attention.

Furthermore, for some unknown reason, the sea was particularly stormy tonight. The deep-sea Hunter’s ship was swaying in the waves. The people inside looked like they were sitting on a pirate ship in an amusement park, even many people who had already fallen asleep were jolted awake from their beds by the storm. The sailors were also nervously waiting for orders at their posts.

Shen Xixi was already feeling nauseous, so she had no choice but to get up from her bed and look for the trash can.

However, not long after Shen Xixi finished vomiting, a sudden alarm sounded in the cabin.

From the length of the alarm, Shen Xixi could tell that it was an enemy attack!

The next moment, she shuddered. Could it be Zhang Heng? If that was the case, it could explain why the hallucinations had lasted so long. Was it because the real person was nearby?

When Shen Xixi thought of this, not only did she not feel fear, she even felt a sense of anticipation.

She knew her own mental state the best. It was getting worse by the day. If this dragged on, she might die on this vast ocean before she could even see the real person.

Shen Xixi went to the bed and took out the small scale that Justya had given her. She pushed open the door and walked towards the deck.

The corridor was very lively now. Almost all the doors of the rooms were open. The players in the guest room were either putting on their clothes or checking their weapons because the ship was shaking, there were also bits and pieces of things like beer bottles and toilet paper rolling on the floor. The captains of each team were counting the members of each team. Everyone looked very nervous.

Although they knew that such a day would come before they boarded the ship, it did not mean that when this day really came, everyone would be unmoved and face it calmly.

Shen Xixi rarely interacted with other players. Now that the Great War was coming, no one cared about her. Shen Xixi walked all the way to the deck.

At this moment, the sky seemed to have been pierced by something. Heavy rain poured down from the entrance of the hole, and the dense raindrops had completely joined together. Coupled with the terrifying wind and thunder, even if the people on the deck were only a few meters apart.., they still needed to shout to barely communicate.

Shen Xixi supported herself with the battery at the side to stabilize her body. At the same time, she quickly swept her gaze over and found the man in the flowery shirt among the few figures on the port deck.

Although the ship was constantly shaking in the storm and the huge waves, the figure of the man in the flowery shirt stood there firmly like a rock, unmoving despite the wind and rain. Seeing his figure, the sailors on the deck did not seem to be so afraid anymore.

The Man in the flowery shirt held his binoculars and looked in a certain direction.

The next moment, Shen Xixi’s voice came from behind him. “Is he here?”

“It’s not him, it’s them.”The Man in the flowery shirt had a serious expression. He handed the binoculars to Shen Xixi. Shen Xixi took the binoculars and placed them in front of her eyes. She looked in the direction that the man in the flowery shirt had been looking at.

However, the visibility in the sea was very low now. As far as Shen Xixi’s eyes could see, there were only surging waves. That was until a thick bolt of lightning struck the sea and lit up the night sky.

With the flash of Light, Shen Xixi saw a group of dense black shadows in the sea. They were a group of ugly monsters that were half human and half fish-frog. The number of them was unknown. There were at least thousands of them, they were swimming rapidly towards them. For a moment, Shen Xixi thought that she was hallucinating.

However, the next moment, she heard the man in the flowery shirt say one word, “Deep diver!”

His voice was colder than the raindrops that fell on his skin. Then, he ordered the adjutant beside him, “Prepare to drop the deep-water bombs.”

“Should we drop all of them?”

“No, use half of them. The other half should be left for the main target.”After a pause, the man in the flowery shirt added, “If we can survive this wave of attacks.”
