Yu Hanjiang discussed the action plan with his teammates, and it was already one o'clock in the morning.
The cruise ship has just left the dock, and this is the first day in the secret room. According to common sense, the first day is reserved for everyone to get familiar with the environment. There shouldn't be anything too difficult to deal with tonight.
Yu Hanjiang asked everyone to go back and have a good sleep to recharge their spirits so that they could cope with various unexpected situations after dawn.
Everyone agreed to meet at the restaurant on the sixth floor at 8:30 the next morning.
***
At eight o'clock the next morning, Xiao Lou woke up on time.
Finding Captain Yu standing on the balcony, Xiao Lou also opened the floor-to-ceiling window and walked over.
After a night of sailing, the cruise ship has sailed into the vast sea. The soft sea breeze brushes against the cheeks, mixed with the moist smell of sea water. The early morning sea breeze makes people feel refreshed. Xiao Lou can't help but squint his eyes in enjoyment.
Yu Hanjiang's hands gently supported the guardrail on the balcony, and he was looking into the distance calmly. When he noticed Xiao Lou approaching, Yu Hanjiang whispered: "This is my first time to go to sea on a cruise ship. I didn't expect the scenery on the sea to be so good.
, if I return to reality in the future, I will definitely take it again if I have the opportunity."
Xiao Lou smiled and said: "Me too, let's go together then? We can choose some unique routes, travel around the world and visit various countries."
Yu Hanjiang looked back at him: "Okay, it's settled."
The two of them watched the morning sea view side by side for a while. Guessing that it was almost time, Xiao Lou turned around and went to the bathroom to quickly wash his face and brush his teeth, and then went to the dining area on the 6th floor with Captain Yu.
There is a buffet restaurant with free food, and 80% of the seats are against the floor-to-ceiling windows. Sitting by the window while eating free food and looking at the sea is really as comfortable as a vacation.
It was half past eight, breakfast time, and the cafeteria was crowded with people.
Many people looked like the challenger team at first sight. There were more than a dozen people sitting at one table, and they deliberately lowered their voices when talking. There were also some aborigines traveling together, old people, young couples and children, and they seemed to be enjoying themselves. Unfortunately, as a family traveling,
They were quite unlucky to encounter such a ship that was destined to be filled with dangers.
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang walked to the door and saw Shao Qingge and Ye Qi waiting there. After seeing the two of them, Shao Qingge took a step forward and said, "Let's go to a paid restaurant, don't eat here."
Xiao Lou said: "Will the fee be expensive?"
Shao Qingge smiled and said: "Just think that I am overthinking. I always feel that there is no free lunch in the world. Anyway, we are not short of money. There is no need to queue up with so many people here to squeeze for a seat. I look at the environment of the Chinese restaurant next door.
Not bad, let’s go eat there.”
Xiao Lou thought it made sense and nodded in agreement with Shao Qingge's suggestion.
He opened a communication channel with Liu Qiao and passed the news through the channel: "Xiao Liu, take Qu Wanyue to the Chinese restaurant on the 6th floor for dinner."
Shao Qingge also passed the news to Lao Mo, so not long after, everyone gathered at the Chinese restaurant on the 6th floor.
The theme restaurants on the cruise ship are indeed very expensive. Just a plate of chewy xiaolongbao for breakfast costs 5,000 gold coins, which is like a money grab.
Ye Qi grabbed the menu and almost stared at the price: "It's too expensive..."
Shao Qingge ordered the dishes calmly: "8 portions of xiaolongbao and 8 portions of fried dough sticks. What do you want to drink? I want a bowl of pumpkin porridge."
Xiao Lou smiled and said: "I want red bean porridge, thank you."
The two accountants started ordering, and everyone stopped being polite and ordered their favorite porridge.
A breakfast cost 100,000 gold coins, nearly 1,000 RMB. Old Mo couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "With this much money, if I buy the materials myself, I can make buns for a month."
Shao Qingge waved his hands cheerfully: "Don't worry, we can still make more money after we spend it. Besides, no one knows how long we can live, so just enjoy it. Maybe this meal will be the last...
"
Xiao Lou interrupted him: "Mr. Shao, don't be so cunning."
Shao Qingge immediately zipped up his mouth and lowered his head to eat.
Perhaps because the food prices in the Chinese restaurant are too high, there are not many customers. Their private room is very quiet and no one disturbs them, which is convenient for everyone to discuss things.
After everyone had eaten and drank enough, Yu Hanjiang looked at Ye Qi and asked, "Did you gain anything from monitoring last night?"
Ye Qi said: "Over there in the captain's cabin, the captain has been chatting with the deputy captain about the typhoon for more than half an hour. I heard from them that the typhoons in the past few days have caused heavy casualties in coastal cities, and hundreds of people have been killed so far.
.However, the movement path of the typhoon does not conflict with this time's route, and they don't seem to be worried at all."
Ye Qi paused and continued: "The crew members are all complaining that due to the typhoon weather, the cruise company's business has been very difficult recently and the tickets cannot be sold. Only 70% of the tickets for this ship have been sold.
The wages of waiters have been reduced across the board, and quarterly bonuses have been cancelled. Everyone says that the family is running out of money and cannot afford to marry a wife or raise children..."
Ye Qi listened to the crew members' complaints and complaints at one o'clock in the morning last night, and his head almost exploded.
Xiao Lou smiled and patted his shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoye. Is there anything unusual at the service desk?"
Ye Qidao said: "Some people asked if they could provide an upgrade service and wanted to move to a luxury suite on the fifth floor. Others were making reservations for daytime activities. A woman with a very gentle voice made a reservation at the captain's restaurant and said she wanted to taste the captain's homemade food.
cooking; most of the remaining people are making reservations for this afternoon’s drama performance.”
He scratched the back of his head and looked at Shao Qingge: "What is the name of the play that will be performed this afternoon?"
Shao Qingge squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "It's the classic drama "Thunderstorm"."
Ye Qi slapped his forehead: "That's right! "Thunderstorm", I remember learning this text in high school."
Yu Hanjiang frowned and said: "The captain and the deputy captain have been chatting about the typhoon. The crew mentioned that the typhoon caused business to deteriorate and bonuses to decrease. The play to be performed this afternoon happens to be "Thunderstorm". Do you think this is a coincidence?"
Typhoon, thunderstorm...these keywords were mentioned in the three monitoring sites. It cannot be a coincidence.
Xiao Loudao: "According to the style of the Secret Room of Spades--
, these conversations are more likely to be clues left to us - this cruise ship will encounter typhoons and thunderstorms during the voyage."
When everyone heard this, their faces gradually became ugly.
Lao Mo carefully analyzed: "Typhoons can be big or small. A giant cruise ship like ours can withstand a small typhoon smoothly. But if it is a hurricane at sea with extremely strong winds, the cruise ship may also be overturned. In the real world
There was once a cruise ship that capsized due to strong winds and thunderstorms. There were more than 400 passengers on the ship, and only a dozen people survived..."
Everyone had heard about the shipwreck, and when Lao Mo mentioned it, everyone felt frightened.
If there is really a hurricane at sea and the ship capsizes, once such a large cruise ship capsizes, everyone on the ship will only be drowned. At that time, they must abandon the ship as soon as possible and escape, and those inflatable escape boats are too light and too slow.
If you encounter a typhoon, you may be sucked into the whirlpool of the hurricane and sink to the bottom of the sea. It is best to grab a faster electric escape boat.
Yu Hanjiang quickly calmed down and said: "Once the cruise ship capsizes, according to the original plan, Liu Qiao immediately flew to the stern of the ship to grab an electric escape boat, and we abandoned the ship and escaped as soon as possible."
Xiao Loudao: "If we abandon the ship, we will most likely have to drift at sea for several days, and supplies will need to be prepared in advance."
Yu Hanjiang said: "Go to the shopping supermarket on the 7th floor to buy some mineral water and biscuits in advance, and put them in a backpack that is easy to carry. Try to keep the items as simple as possible and not starve to death. Leave this matter to Lao Mo."
Mo Xuemin nodded: "Don't worry, I know how much stuff eight people need to store."
After having breakfast, everyone went to the 7th floor together. Lao Mo took two girls, Liu Qiao and Qu Wanyue, to go shopping. The others stood on the deck watching the scenery and observing other passengers.
The weather was great today, with clear skies, so the top deck and the entertainment center on the 7th floor were packed with people.
Some people were spending money to experience sea parachutes, gliders, aerial viewing and other projects, and the excited screams of children could be heard from time to time. Xiao Lou didn't want to play these exciting projects, so he stood quietly and watched.
At this moment, a child suddenly cried and said, "Mom, my stomach hurts!" The woman carried the child and went to the bathroom.
Then another girl said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
Gradually, more and more people went to the toilet, and there was a long queue at the door of the toilet. While queuing, people complained: "Is it possible that I have a bad stomach?" "Why are there so many people who have a bad stomach? Are they from the ship?"
The food is not clean!”
Xiao Lou was startled—free restaurant.
Today's breakfast, many people went to the free restaurant to eat. A few of them followed Mr. Shao and ordered 1,000 yuan buns and fried dough sticks. There is no abnormality in their gastrointestinal tract. However, the passengers who ate in the free restaurant seemed to be "unclean"
Affected by the food, everyone suffered from diarrhea collectively.
The complaints got louder and louder, and a man with a hot temper grabbed the waiter by the collar and said: "Call your captain over! There must be something wrong with the food on the ship, otherwise why would we have diarrhea collectively?!"
"That's right, are you making moldy and rotten food for us to eat? We want to complain and get a refund!"
"The service of Ocean Cruises is getting worse and worse! If we don't have clean food, how are we going to survive these seven days?"
The excited passengers gathered together and almost tore the waiters apart.
Seeing that the matter could not end, the waiter dialed the captain with a blank face and told him that many passengers were hungry and there were long queues in the restroom. The captain realized the seriousness of the situation and hurried over quickly.
The old captain, who was about fifty years old, had gray hair and a good temper. He picked up a loudspeaker and explained to everyone: "Please don't get excited! Is there a problem with the food? We are investigating thoroughly! Once we find that the food stored on the ship is expired or moldy,
, we will definitely deal with the rotten ones immediately and give everyone corresponding compensation!"
"Please believe that our ocean cruise company will definitely give you a satisfactory answer! If your condition is serious, please go to the infirmary on the first floor to see Dr. Zhang. Medicines to treat acute diarrhea will be provided to you free of charge!
"
With the assurance of the old captain, the emotions of the passengers gradually calmed down.
Lao Mo, Liu Qiao, and Qu Wanyue happened to come back after buying some food.
He put the food in three travel bags, each carrying one on his back. After walking to Yu Hanjiang, Old Mocai whispered: "Tampering with food is a common method of the Spades Chamber. The food on this ship is likely to be
Something went wrong. From now on, let’s try not to go to restaurants and eat vacuum-packed food bought in shopping malls.”
Xiao Lou said helplessly: "It feels like I'm back to the 3 of spades. It seems we need to stock up on more food."
Lao Mo smiled and said: "Don't worry, I bought high-calorie compressed biscuits, concentrated juice containing a lot of vitamins, and mineral water to replenish moisture. If you eat one pack of biscuits, you won't be hungry all day long. These three are enough for us.
Seven days.”
Xiao Lou gave him a thumbs up: "Lao Mo has experience. Compressed biscuits are much more convenient than instant noodles."
Shao Qingge narrowed his eyes and said: "There is indeed a problem with the free ones. Fortunately, I was more cautious and took everyone to eat expensive steamed buns in the morning, otherwise we would all have diarrhea now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qi's expression suddenly changed: "Fuck, my stomach hurts! Could it be that we have also been hit?"
Long Sen followed closely: "I...I also want to have diarrhea!"
Yu Hanjiang's face darkened, he didn't say anything, and turned around to find the toilet.
Xiao Lou looked at Shao Qingge with a wry smile. He originally wanted to praise Mr. Shao for his wisdom, but now, there is no need to praise him.
Shao Qingge's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot: "You spent so much money on steamed buns in vain, but the food in the expensive Chinese restaurant also has problems? It's just that the diarrhea reaction was ten minutes later than the free restaurant? The ace of spades is too much, cheating us like this
Rich man!"
Lao Mo laughed and said: "Just think of spending money to buy a lesson. I'll queue up first to occupy a pit..."
Shao Qingge felt a discomfort in his abdomen and had to go to the bathroom with a dark face.
I will never spend money randomly again.
Eating free breakfast will cause diarrhea, eating breakfast worth 100,000 yuan will cause diarrhea, what kind of world is this?
These 100,000 gold coins are simply an IQ tax paid to the spade gatekeeper!
