Chapter 126: Cooperation (1)

“Are you crazy?”

The man in the suit shouted subconsciously. Everyone was on the ship. Once the fire was set, a normal small fire would not be able to drive these things away.

However, it would be dangerous to set a fire. The wind was strong on the sea, and when the wind helped the fire, no one on the ship would be able to escape.

“Do you have any other good ideas?”

Song qingxiao retorted, and the man in a suit was speechless.

At the moment, no one could think of any good suggestions. The older woman looked at song qingxiao and nodded in agreement.

The crew-cut man had already formed an alliance with her in private, so he was naturally on her side.

Perhaps number seven had been ambushed by number six, but for the first time, he also expressed his desire to stand on song qingxiao’s side.

“You guys are crazy.”

The rest of the people, including the scholar, the man in the suit, and young man number six, had no choice but to obey the majority.

There were more and more mutated creatures, and there was no time for them to dawdle. After making up their minds, the trial-takers worked together to prepare for the operation.

It was unknown if the people on the right side of the cabin had already heard their discussion, but loud curses could be heard from the cabin.

If he wanted to start a fire, he would need some help so that the fire could be ignited quickly.

At this time, even if they were on guard against each other, in this situation where the boat was about to capsize, everyone could only work together and get through this first before making other plans.

The trial-taker was split into two. One group stayed behind to continue attracting the attention of some of the mutated creatures, while the other group went to find something to help with the combustion.

Mr. Zhou had prepared for his voyage. He wanted to obtain the genes of mutated creatures. A small laboratory had been set up on the ship, so there must be flammable substances such as alcohol.

The few people who left came back very quickly. About two or three minutes later, they came back with some sheets, clothes, and alcohol.

Everyone covered for each other. First, they tied the clothes to shovels and other things, then sprinkled alcohol on them. This way, the fire was ignited, and suddenly, a ‘boom’ sound was heard.

The mutant creatures that were flying towards song qingxiao immediately dispersed when they saw the fire.

This move was indeed effective. Song Qing’s spirit was lifted. Everyone looked at each other, and their faces revealed joy.

The others did the same. Song Qing raised the flaming shovel and waved it in the air. The fire was huge, and there were many mutant creatures. Every time she waved the fire, the wings and bodies of the mutant creatures were burned. Those mutant creatures made sizzling sounds.

At the same time, she patted the cabin with the shovel. Every time she patted, the mutant creatures that were biting the cabin suddenly loosened their grip and fell to the ground with a ‘plop’.

This was much more efficient than before. In a short while, a large open space was cleared, and some mutant creatures flying in the air did not dare to come over.

The smell of burnt meat mixed with the smell of blood in the air was nauseating.

Seeing that it was effective, they were overjoyed. They took something and slapped it on the wall. The densely packed mutant creatures attached to the cabin kept falling to the ship. After being injured, they seemed to be unable to fly again. They could only flap their wings and crawl on the ground. Soon, the number of mutant creatures almost reached their ankles.

In order to avoid being bitten by these things in the chaos, song qingxiao had to be careful not to get trapped and jump up at any time while she was lighting a fire.

However, this was not a solution. She glanced at the dozen bodyguards in the distance. Under the previous siege, their protective suits had been bitten to pieces, and many of them were injured. However, they had managed to hold on until now because of their strong physical and mental fortitude.

“You guys sweep these things into the sea.”

She pointed at the mutated creatures on the ground, who were flapping their wings and trying to fly again.

However, it was not known whether it was as song qingxiao had expected. Once these things stopped, they needed certain conditions to take off, or because they had been injured by the flames, no matter how hard they flapped their wings, they could not fly.

Compared to the seabirds from the previous evening, their wings were extremely thin, and the fire would burn with a single spark. Their feathers also became a condition to help support the fire.

With the trial-takers ‘intention to light a fire, the mutated creatures crawling on the right side of the bowstring soon caught fire and fell to the ground one after another.

The ship tilted to the left, and the mutant creatures rolled to the left until they were against the cabin wall.

However, with the mutated creatures piling up, the fire would burn faster.

The smell of burnt flesh and fat entered everyone’s nose. The bodyguards also found something to sweep these injured mutant creatures into the sea.

Thick smoke billowed. Not only were the people affected, but even the mutant creatures hovering in the sky did not dare to come close.

The people in the cabin who had locked the door finally couldn’t bear it anymore. They opened the door and came out. In such a chaotic situation, it was inevitable that some people would be injured. Some mutant creatures in the sky picked up the leftovers and occasionally came over to harass the people who had just escaped out of the door in a panic. Screams and wails rose one after another.

These people were like burdens. They knew that there were people killing mutant creatures outside, but they selfishly locked the door and refused to open it. Now that they asked for help, the others just watched coldly.

Soon, two of the people who had just come out were surrounded by mutant creatures. The two of them screamed and shouted,”

“Save me…”

The participant’s focus was on saving the boat, so the bodyguards could spare some time. However, when they thought about the actions of these people earlier, they naturally pretended not to hear anything.

The two of them were carried by the mutant creatures to the sky like the previous bodyguards. The group of mutant creatures rushed forward. The ordinary workers were not as armed as the bodyguards. Large drops of blood fell from the sky, and the screams soon stopped.

Perhaps it was because the ship was on fire and the mutated creatures were afraid of the smoke and fire, or perhaps it was because they were temporarily satisfied with the three ‘food’ that they had snatched, some of them finally stopped hitting the ship.

The cooperation of song qingxiao and the others was effective again. The boat that was tilting to the left gradually balanced again after the external interference was gone.

The ship was no longer slanted to the left, and the tilted right side was once again filled with water. The speed of the ship, which was pushed by the mutant creatures, slowed down, which made song Qing feel a little relieved.

However, the fire on the right side was gradually getting out of control. The mutated creatures on fire began to crawl around in pain, and sparks appeared wherever they went. Coupled with the strong wind on the sea, the fire slowly began to spread.

More and more of the cabin doors were opened. Some mutated creatures rolled into the rooms, and some rooms started to catch fire.

The surface of the sea was filled with mutant creatures on fire. Some of them were still alive and were struggling in the water..
