Chapter 102: Lost Song of the Deep (29)
Zhong Liang had just managed to climb up and was lying on the ground, breathing heavily.
He suddenly felt something cold and sharp on his neck, and the smell of blood was in the air.
He felt an immediate sense of danger.
"Calm down, calm down! Impulse is the devil," Zhong Liang said, trying to stay still and not move. He was afraid that the person he was facing might hurt him if he moved.
"It's not a siren," Ye Nianchu said, pulling Qin Mubai. "Let's go back."
Zhong Liang watched as they left, confused. Not a siren?
They were disappointed not to see one?!

There were only about 50 to 60 people left on the cruise ship.
Sirens could be dealt with, but Ghost Ships were a different problem.
People hiding in the inner rooms were starting to lose hope. Even if they hid, they might still be taken away, and it felt like there was nothing they could do but wait for their fate.
Attempts to escape using lifeboats had failed. One lifeboat was capsized by a siren before it could get far, and no one survived.
Seeing this, people gave up on trying to escape, and their hope was completely shattered.
Ye Nianchu went back to her room, changed out of her wet clothes, and drank hot water to warm up. The rain had lessened, and it was getting lighter outside.
She finally got some rest, planning to deal with the boss after she woke up.
---
At noon, someone knocked on the door.
Ye Nianchu, who had been sleeping, opened her eyes and saw Qin Mubai coming out of the room.
The knockers were likely from the control room.
After dealing with two Ghost Ships, they realized that hiding in the control room was useless. Sirens couldn’t open the door, but Ghost Ships could still take people away.
"I'm here to cooperate," one of the visitors said.
"I already said no cooperation. My brother doesn’t like working with others," Ye Nianchu replied, staying behind the door.
Gao Jiang and his group thought Qin Mubai was just a reason for Ye Nianchu to refuse. They believed they might be missing important information.
"We all want to clear the level. Since we have the same goal, why not team up to be more efficient?" a player suggested.
Gao Jiang added, "We can help you fight the sirens, but you’ll need to share your information."
Gao Jiang was trying to be polite because he was worried about the strong players.
"Help? We don’t need it," Ye Nianchu said, closing the door.
The group left.
"What should we do now?" someone asked Gao Jiang.
Ye Nianchu and Qin Mubai were fighting sirens, which meant their information was likely true.
"We’ll try to help tonight," Gao Jiang said, touching his gun. "But stay away from them."
"Since they don’t need our help, let them handle it."
Gao Jiang stopped and turned back, "Can you guarantee you won’t be taken by the Ghost Ship before the equipment is fixed?"
The others fell silent.
