Chapter 242
Those aquatic plants spread extremely fast, and by the time Ghost Tan came over, some of them had already crawled onto the deck.

I noticed a detail. Compared with the day, these aquatic plants seem to have changed, and some sharp barbs have grown.

Ghost Detective Xu picked up some of the aquatic plants on the deck with a wooden stick, and turned around to ask me what to do.

There were hurried footsteps behind me, I turned around and saw Ah Ning rushing over with a few boatmen.

"Hurry up and drive the boat away, something is wrong." I said hurriedly.

In order to guard against that weird village not far away, we parked the boat in the middle of the river, and now there are aquatic plants in all directions, and it is impossible to jump out of the boat to escape.

Aning looked around nervously, and gave some instructions to the boatman beside him. The boatman who was in charge of operating the equipment during the day ran towards the captain's room.

Not long after, the boatman ran over sweating profusely, saying that there was something wrong with the engine and it couldn't start.

"Master Li, hurry up and take two people to the machine wheel warehouse to have a look." Aning said anxiously.

Now there are water plants everywhere on the deck, and the boatmen also knew the seriousness of the matter, so they ran towards the wheelhouse without saying a word.

"Quick, come help, Fatty's legs are entangled." Fatty Wang shouted in panic from the side.

I was about to go over to help, when out of the corner of my eye I saw a few wisps of waterweed entwining my calf, so I quickly took a step back, picked up a mop, and scraped the waterweed away.

"Help, these aquatic plants have thorns and can suck blood." Fatty Wang let out a cry like killing a pig.

A pretty figure rushed out from the cabin, holding a fire ax in his hand, and chopped off the water plants beside Fatty Wang.

"Sister Xiaolei, you are really a living Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering." Fatty Wang shamelessly flattered him as soon as he was out of trouble.

"Fatty, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and help." I waved the mop to clean up the water plants on the deck.

A gust of fragrant wind came from beside her, and Li Xiaolei, carrying a fire axe, ran to cut off the water plants on the side of the boat.

Fatty Wang responded, and was about to come over, when he suddenly let out a strange "Aiya".

I frowned and turned my face to the side, not knowing what happened to that coward, but I saw Fatty Wang's forehead covered with beads of sweat, he squatted down, and said that his calf was numb and he lost consciousness.

My heart tightened, and I quickly reminded everyone loudly that the aquatic plants are poisonous, so don't get entangled.

Zhen Qingyi ran out of the cabin with a small cloth bag, handed a small medicine box to Fatty Wang, and told him to wipe his calf quickly.

Even though we kept cleaning, we still couldn't keep up with the speed of the aquatic plants spreading. Seeing that there were more and more aquatic plants on the deck, the space for activities was greatly limited.

A boatman was accidentally entangled in water plants, and I was about to go to rescue them. The water plants seemed to be able to sense it, and pulled the boatman violently to the side of the boat.

I was a step too late and failed to grab the boatman. I watched him being dragged into the water, slapped the railing, and looked down.

The surface of the river was densely covered with aquatic plants, and the boatman who fell into the water was dragged out of sight without even taking a bubble.

"Old Lu is finished, I... what should we do?" The boatman beside him asked with a trembling voice.

The atmosphere on the deck was a little silent, and then the other boatmen lost control of their emotions and frantically waved the tools in their hands to prevent the aquatic plants from approaching.

"Where is the wheel well, have they repaired it?" I asked Aning sideways.

"Go, I'll take you there." Aning turned and ran towards the stairway.

I told everyone to protect themselves, use the mop to sweep away the nearby aquatic plants, and follow Aning closely.

The wheelhouse is below the deck, and before entering, there is a pungent smell of water.

Ah Ning, who was walking in front, suddenly screamed, turned and ran over, clutching my arm tightly, with a terrified expression on his face.

"What's the matter, what did you see?" My eyelids twitched, and I held the Gouyu sword in my hand.

"Dead...dead, they are all dead!" Ah Ning's voice trembled, and his body kept trembling.

My heart sank, and I walked forward quickly. The light in the wheelhouse was dim, and it was full of water plants, wriggling like snakes.

The three boatmen who came down before were covered tightly by water plants, only one head was exposed outside, their faces were pale, their seven orifices were bleeding, and they didn't have the slightest breath of life on their bodies.

Those aquatic plants seemed to sense us, rushing towards the door frantically, tension flashed in my eyes, and I quickly closed the door.

"It seems that the boat can't go away, what should we do?" Ah Ning grabbed my arm with both hands, his eyes were full of panic.

My heart was heavy, like a stone was pressed, the boat was about five meters away from the shore, but this short five meters separated life and death.

"Go to the deck to help first, the living will never be suffocated to death by urine." I patted Aning on the shoulder, turned and ran towards the stairs.

The situation outside was worse than before, and the water plants had covered the guardrail.

"How is it over there, can it be repaired?" Ghost Detective asked slowly.

I opened my mouth, I don't know how to speak, the current situation is already bad, if I tell the situation of the wheelhouse, it will only make everyone fall into despair.

"The situation is not very good. It will take more than an hour to fix it." I lied.

The emotions of those boatmen are already very unstable. I am afraid that telling the truth will cause them to have a nervous breakdown.

"Everyone, pay attention to observe and find out if there are any weaknesses in these aquatic plants." I took a mop and rushed over to help.

There were hurried footsteps behind me. I turned around and saw Aning with a nervous expression on his face. He pulled my arm and pointed in the direction of the stairs on the deck.

A blood-stained head protruded from the exit of the stairs, with scarlet eyes staring straight at this side.

My heartbeat suddenly accelerated. I didn't expect that the three dead boatmen in the wheelhouse turned into zombies.

There were still a few water plants hanging on the opponent's head, and his movements were stiff, and he moved up step by step.

I can't let this zombie appear in everyone's sight. If the remaining boatmen find out the truth, everything will be messed up.

I made a gesture to signal Aning to block this way, and I quickly ran to the stairs.

Before the person approached, the Gouyu sword in my hand came out and flew towards the zombie.

The other party was just a low-level zombie who had just woken up, unresponsive, just acting on instinct, was shot between the eyebrows by Gou Yujian, and rolled straight down the stairs.

In the corridor at the back, there were two other zombies, whose bodies rolled down, stopped them for a while, twisted their necks stiffly, and stared straight at me.

Looking at those scarlet eyes, I suddenly understood what was in that cave. These water plants are so evil that they can turn a corpse into a zombie. The owner of the eyes in the cave must also be a zombie.

I stretched out my hand to recall the Gouyu sword, rushed over, and used the fastest speed to finish off the two zombies in front of me.

Seeing that the water plants in the wheelhouse were constantly spreading towards this side, I threw out a few burning talisman papers, ran to the door of the warehouse in a few steps, and locked the door tightly again.

The strenuous exercise made my forehead covered with sweat, and I wiped away the sweat. I didn't have time to rest, so I hurried outside. After this delay, I hope everyone can hold on.

As soon as I poked my head out and saw the scene on the deck, my heart sank. There were water plants everywhere, and the space for my companions was getting smaller and smaller, and the situation was imminent.

"Don't touch me, I don't want to die, damn aquatic plants, get out!" A boatman couldn't bear the pressure, and finally collapsed, waving the steel pipe in his hand indiscriminately.

Li Xiaolei was almost hit by the steel pipe, so she quickly took a step away from the out-of-control boatman.

The steel pipe hit the woven bag on the side, and the white powder flew up and fell on the surrounding decks. The aquatic plants made a commotion and avoided them one after another.

"Ah Ning, what is the white powder in the woven bag?" I fixed my eyes, and then I was ecstatic.

"That's the lime powder used for disinfection on the ship." Aning quickly replied.

I rushed over, snatched the steel pipe from the hand of the out-of-control boatman, reached out and grabbed a handful of lime powder, and scattered it around.

"Come here and help, and spread the lime powder on the deck." While spreading the lime powder, I greeted my companions loudly.

The white lime powder fell on the aquatic plants, and these evil plants, as if they had met their nemesis, quickly rotted and dried up, losing their vitality.

"Oh my god, that's great, we're finally saved." Fatty Wang ran over, grabbed a handful of lime powder, and threw it out.

A gust of wind blew, and the lime powder flew back upside down, almost fascinating my eyes, I pushed Fatty Wang away, so that this guy would not cause trouble here.

Fatty Wang choked on the lime powder he spilled, squatted aside and coughed vigorously. Fortunately, Fatty Wang was the only one who was unreliable. As time went by, the water plants on the deck were slowly cleaned up. Lose.

I greeted Ghost Tan Xu, took a small bag of lime powder, and walked towards the wheelhouse, where the aquatic plants also needed to be cleaned.

Walking down the stairs, Ghost Detective Xu saw three corpses in the corridor, and hurriedly asked what was going on.

I briefly talked about the situation of the wheelhouse, the aquatic plants have been controlled now, so there is no need to hide these things.

Ghost detective Xu felt lingering fears after hearing this, and said that if he hadn't been lucky enough to discover that lime powder can restrain aquatic plants, everyone would be in bad luck tonight.

We cleaned the water plants in the wheel well with lime powder, and we couldn't do anything about the broken engine.

When I returned to the deck, I saw everyone slumped on the deck, looking exhausted after a catastrophe, with fear still remaining in their eyes.

Ah Ning was frowning. Although the danger was over for a while, the boatmen who died were all employees of her company. The mess left by this was enough to make her anxious.

Zhen Qingyi was kind-hearted, and comforted Aning, and the two quickly became acquainted.

"Tonight we will take turns to watch the night. As long as we can persist until dawn, we should be safe." I inspected a circle and said.

The surrounding rivers are still covered with those evil aquatic plants, but lime powder is everywhere on the deck, and these evil plants dare not come up for the time being.

I saw that there was still some lime powder, so I grabbed a handful and sprinkled it into the river. Countless bubbles rose up, and the water plants in that piece quickly avoided to the sides.

"It's a pity that there is not much lime powder left, otherwise it will all be poured into the river. I don't believe these things will not die." I said with some regret.

"Fatty Master said last time that if you don't take a boat in your life, you will be unlucky once you get on a boat." Fatty Wang complained.
