The sun was scorching hot and the air was humid, but the three girls felt a chill run down their spines at these words!
"Of course, there's a third possibility - I guessed wrong and this might just be a dead dolphin or seal," Lu Zhe said.
"I see..."
"Hopefully that's the case..."
"Alright, I want to hear everyone's opinions now - should we go around it or paddle over to see what it actually is?"
The three girls looked at each other!
Lin Qianqian nervously said, "I'm scared to see a corpse..."
Tang Xiaoguo nodded: "Me too, let's go around!"
Jiang Yao thought for a moment: "We can go around, but remembering this scene is giving me goosebumps. To be honest, I want to see what it is, whether it's a corpse or not, we should figure it out!"
"What about you, Lu Zhe?"
Lu Zhe nodded: "I agree with Yao Yao! But I also respect your opinions - if you don't want to go, I'll swim over myself and then tell you the answer!"
"No, it's too dangerous to go alone!"
Tang Xiaoguo also nodded: "I don't agree either! If we die, let's die together! Right, Qianqian?"
Lin Qianqian also nodded: "Yeah!"
"Alright! Then let's paddle over together, get the cologne and handkerchiefs ready, and if there's any danger we'll paddle away immediately!"
The three girls nodded together: "Got it!"
Lu Zhe adjusted the sail and started paddling towards the "corpse".
Three minutes later, as they got closer, Lu Zhe could completely see what it was.
It really was a human corpse!
He was wearing a white shirt and black pants, floating facedown in the water. Half of his body floated above the water surface, somewhat bloated, but not exaggeratedly giant like at the "Giant's View". There also wasn't the expected stinky odor.
The three girls were terrified, huddling together!
"Where did this corpse in the middle of the ocean come from?"
"Didn't Lu Zhe say, it might have escaped from the plane cabin! Anyway, we're probably not far from where the plane crashed now!"
"Lu Zhe, is that likely?"
Lu Zhe shook his head: "Most likely not, because the cabins were sealed shut. Even if I accidentally made a hole last time, it wasn't big enough for someone to escape through!"
"Why would they want to escape?"
"Also, if they let him escape on his own, wouldn't that be like...a zombie?"
"So scary!"
"Don't scare yourself, there's no such thing as zombies!"
Jiang Yao thought for a moment: "Could the rescue team have come? And opened up the plane?"
"The rescue team would be even less likely to let the deceased's corpses drift away, they would properly bury them!"
"Alright, stop guessing. Let's look at his face!"
Lu Zhe used a bamboo pole to flip the corpse over, revealing the face!
Tang Xiaoguo and Lin Qianqian were so frightened they covered their faces at the same time. Lu Zhe and Jiang Yao mustered their courage to look at the man's front.
Jiang Yao screamed!
It was a man, his exact age and appearance unrecognizable!
His face was as pale as paper, large pieces of flesh hung off, exposing the white bone underneath. It looked ferocious and terrifying!
Lu Zhe immediately recalled that when he passed the airplane, looking inside, this was what the dead passengers looked like!
The fish, shrimp and crabs at the seabed had eaten their flesh and also penetrated the abdominal cavity, preventing corpse gas from gathering inside.
In addition, the ocean contained plenty of nitrifying bacteria. Long-term soaking had broken down nitrite and other substances. The continuously flowing seawater also stopped large amounts of bacteria from breeding on the corpse, allowing it to be eaten by fish and shrimp instead.
"He might really be a passenger who was on the same plane as us!"
"Then how did he get out?" Jiang Yao analyzed: "As you said, that little hole wouldn't have let the corpse automatically drift out!"
"Unless..." Tang Xiaoguo pondered deeply: "He opened it himself!"
Cue more screaming.
"Don't be feudally superstitious! He got out somehow, but there must have been a reason. I don't know the reason yet, but it definitely wasn't the one you mentioned!"
Lu Zhe noticed his clothes were basically ruined. Also, he didn't want to loot anything from the deceased countryman!
He noticed some small wildflowers were inserted into the canopy as decoration.
Even the prettiest girls have a childlike heart at certain times!
Lu Zhe took a yellow wildflower and gently placed it on the corpse, as an offering of sorts.
They sailed away from the corpse's "territory".
Continuing forward!
Not long after, they encountered another corpse, the same situation again.
Going further, a third corpse!
Fourth, fifth, sixth...more and more!
All ordinary-looking.
The few girls were chilled to the bone!
"They really are passengers from the plane..."
"With so many, how did they all get out?"
Reaching the marker buoy indicating where the plane crashed, looking out at the surrounding waters, over twenty human corpses floated on the ocean surface!
"Why don't the sharks eat them?"
"Maybe they soaked too long and lost all meaty flavor!"
"That can happen?"
"You three stay put on the raft and watch. I'm going to dive down and first see how these corpses escaped!"
"Be careful, Lu Zhe!"
"Put on goggles!"
"Got it!" After speaking, Lu Zhe tipped backwards, diving into the ocean!
Only now did Lu Zhe discover that not only was the ocean surface full of corpses, even the middle of the water had many suspended bodies. The penetrating sunlight made for an exceptionally horrifying scene!
Lu Zhe immediately thought of Captain Jack Sparrow and his Black Pearl. All those crazy experiences were of a similar mood!
Lu Zhe adjusted his emotions then continued swimming down. Soon, he saw the airplane, but it wasn't the same as before.
At that moment, Lu Zhe only felt his brain spin dizzily.
"What the hell is this?"
He saw that the plane at the bottom of the sea seemed to be snapped by an enormous force. The plane's waist was ripped open, revealing a hole 10 times bigger than the original!
Not just one person, even five or six crowded together could easily escape!
Who did this?
Lu Zhe was flabbergasted!
He wanted to swim over to carefully inspect the new rupture, maybe some clues could be found.
But suddenly he noticed the fuselage shake violently!
Next, an octopus arm thicker than a waist slowly emerged from under the plane.
Was it an octopus, squid, or octopus?
What creature could snap a plane in half?
No no, too exaggerated.
Lu Zhe didn't have time to estimate the actual size of this giant squid. He hurriedly swam back to the raft!
"What's going on, Lu Zhe?"
"Get away from here, quick!"
"You're not getting the supplies anymore?"
Lu Zhe thought for a moment: "I can't get them now. Let's go to the offshore cottage first to discuss countermeasures and rest for a bit before trying again for supplies!"
