C69 (1/2)

After an unknown amount of time, the boat finally stopped swaying. The storm outside the cabin also stopped and everything became quiet. There was not a single sound, as if everything had stopped moving.

The surroundings were simply too quiet, so quiet that it gave people an inexplicable feeling of pressure. No one dared to make a single sound, as if they were afraid of destroying this peace.

Leng Jun and Zhu Qingyun were also infected by this silence. It was unknown when it had begun, but both of them unconsciously held their breaths. When the two of them felt like they were suffocating, they couldn't help but breathe heavily.

Leng Jun opened the lock on the cabin door, then opened the cabin door. After discovering that the storm outside had indeed stopped, Leng Jun leaned in and walked out of the cabin.

Outside the cabin, Leng Jun realized that even though the storm had stopped, the dark clouds in the sky had not dispersed. The surroundings were still shrouded in darkness and thick fog.

”Where is this place?” Why are there so many ships parked here? ”

The one who spoke was Zhu Qingyun, who had followed Leng Jun out of the cabin, because she saw that countless boats were still docked around the boat they were on.

The first thing Leng Jun did when he walked out of the cabin door was to check the weather, so he didn't immediately notice anything in the surroundings. It was only after hearing Zhu Qingyun's words that he looked around and discovered that there were indeed countless ships docked in the dense fog.

The boats were all made of wood. Some of them were completely intact, and looked as if they had just been built. Some of them were in tatters, so much so that only a skeleton was left. Although these wooden boats were of different sizes, they all had one thing in common. They were always standing there motionlessly, and there were no signs of human or animal life on the boat.

These wooden boats were anchored on both sides of the boat that Leng Jun and the rest were on, and there was a water channel between them, which was just enough for Leng Jun and the boat that he was on to pass through.

However, the water surface of the waterway was extremely calm. It was so calm that it was like a mirror that didn't have the slightest ripple. It didn't seem like a scene that could appear on a sea at all.

However, Leng Jun was certain that the boat they were on was still slowly moving forward. Although they couldn't see much from the surface of the water channel, the surrounding wooden boats continued to 'walk' towards their backs, indicating that their boat was still moving forward.

At first, Zhu Qingyun was just curious, she kept on looking at the differences between each wooden boat, but she gradually noticed that something was different.

Zhu Qingyun couldn't help but take a few steps forward and stick to Leng Jun, and also firmly grabbed onto Leng Jun's sleeve. Then, she quietly asked: ”Brother Jun, don't you feel that this place is filled with a ghastly and terrifying feeling? I suddenly feel very afraid.”

Leng Jun grabbed Zhu Qingyun's hand, and after he shook it tightly, he said: ”It's just a few boats, what's there to be afraid of?”

”I don't know either. I just feel weird. Oh right, Brother Jun, have you noticed that there's not even the slightest sound from the surroundings?
