This Damned Thirst for Survival

His words brought a moment of silence to the scene.

The Chi You family sneered, taking the lead, ” Chi You, don’t talk big. If they don’t know, don’t I? I’m your third uncle, these Chi family members are all related to you, you can’t hurt us.”

He is nicknamed Chi Lao San, and is the eldest member of the Chi family, the same generation as Chi Zhongye, who temporarily acts as the head of the Chi family. He has two brothers above him, all of whom have a very low status in the Chi family and are given the task of doing anything untoward in the family, each with extremely sinister methods.

Their relationship with the first family was far more distant, at best they could only be described as having the same ancestor and a little common blood in their veins, Chi You would not have dared to call himself Third Uncle when he was alive.

He was arrogant enough to say, “Chi You, you’re not going to get away with this today!”, because he was carrying a curse on his back and decided that the first line could not harm the second line.

The previous head of the Chi family, who was suited and booted even in his evil form, sighed, “Yeah, I can’t hurt you guys.”

The Chi family can’t help but look smug, and Chi Lao San is about to gather the men around him when he is suddenly strangled by a black mist and brought to Chi You.

He struggled desperately, his eyes wide and his face red, “Cough, cough, cough, you let go of–cough!”

“Third uncle?” The evil spirit asked with interest, “I don’t remember there being a third uncle.”

The faces of Chi’s boss and Chi’s second, who had been chasing Jiang Luo, changed dramatically, “Lao San!”

The evil spirit’s patience diminished as he said in a cold voice, “Who drugged you?”

Chi Lao San only felt his breathing getting harder and harder, and he was finally sure at this moment that Chi You would really kill him, even if he was under a curse!

He made a “ho-ho” sound and said painfully, “I… I drugged him!”

The evil spirit’s gaze shifted back to his body and dawned on him, “It’s you.”

“Then I have you to thank for that,” the corners of the evil spirit’s lips lifted in a good mood, “it’s thanks to you that I was able to have such a comfortable experience.”

Tears and snot were left in Chi Lao San’s eyes, but he smiled after the robbery. He thought he would survive, but no sooner had a look of gratitude passed over his face than the next moment a bony hand was thrust into his chest.

This pale ghostly hand squeezed his heart and in the last seconds of his life, Chi Lao San looked at Chi You incredulously and said with shaking hands, “You, you said-”

The evil spirit crushed his heart.

“Did I say I wouldn’t let you be the first to die?” The evil spirit sighed, “How can you believe a word I say.”

Chi Lao San fell from the black mist to the ground. At the moment of his death, blood flowed from the corners of Chi You’s mouth as well. He let out a low laugh, which shifted from low to high and grew crazier, “So that’s all the repercussions of killing you.”

He smiled broadly and raised a hand to wipe the blood from his lips as he raised his eyes to the group of people by the door.

The warm light of dusk was cast on him from the window, but the evil spirit’s eyes were dark, so that even the warm light was shrouded in a desolate, cold, murderous intent.

Some people couldn’t help but take a step back, drumming in their hearts.

This is the ability of the number one person in the occult world, even if he turns into a ghost, he is still an unfathomable evil spirit, and can even easily kill Chi Lao San, who is considered to be of good ability among them!

The man near the door could not resist forcing it open and rushing out regardless. Boss Ji said angrily, “Rubbish! What are you afraid of, let’s all pounce on him together, so many people still can’t help him with one ghost!”

He turned his head and saw that no one dared to take the lead. The boss cursed and was about to step forward with fear in his heart when he saw the man who had escaped running back in haste, “There are all male fish out there!”

*

After the flare was sent out, the male fish on the boat knew they were exposed. Angrily, they tore through the human skin and launched themselves on board to kill.

Screams rang out everywhere and the corridor was littered with the slime of blood eels crawling through. Jiang Luo dodged a body that had been bitten in two and darted for the bilge.

Blood eels mate at night, and until darkness falls, only the bilge is safest.

As he reached the ground floor, Jiang Luo suddenly remembered Li Sha, the captain’s daughter. He turned on his heels and ran in the direction of Li Sha.

Running is not convenient for Jiang Luo at the moment. He is unwell, but even more unbearable than that – he has not had a bath.

Grass.

He had no time to clean up the marks left on him by the evil spirits, and Jiang Luo hated it so much that he had lost all his time to prepare for the battle to Chi You.

After running halfway around the world to avoid a male fish, Jiang Luo realized he had to find a jacket to hold around his waist or make a fool of himself …… He barged into a rich man’s room with the door wide open, found a jacket to put on and another to tie around his waist, and went on to find Li Sha.

Li Sha was nowhere to be found, and when he did, Jiang Luo took her and ran out. As he passed the crew’s dormitory, he saw Cheng Li running out of the room in a hurry, clutching a rucksack, and Jiang Luo called out, “Cheng Li?

When Cheng Li saw him, his eyes lit up as if he had seen a lifeline, and he quickly ran up and held the backpack in his arms in front of Jiang Luo, saying apprehensively, “Brother, I’ve found what you want, when and where can you let me see my wife and daughter?”

Jiang Luo was about to speak when the wooden door to the other room was suddenly slapped to the floor and salivating blood eels crawled out of it, turning their heads salivatingly to look at them, their throats laden with mucus, “Humans ……”

Without saying a word, Jiang Luo picked up Li Sha and carried her in his arms, then ran away, “Let’s run first!”

Cheng Li hurriedly followed him and fled.

Jiang Luo knocked on the door with a coded signal and the door was opened and Ge Zhu whispered, “Come in.”

A thin layer of goo had accumulated on the floor of the bilge and Jiang Luo placed Li Sha on the floor and looked the cabin over.

The bodies that had been hung had been lowered by Ge Zhu, and the bilge was filled with people on either side of the wall. The men, women and children were too scared to make a sound, their hair was dishevelled, their clothes were stained with mucus and many had red eyes and were crying miserably.

A dozen torches were placed on the ground and were used as illumination.

In the middle of the bilge, there is still a killed male fish lying limply on the floor.

Jiang Luo looked over to Ge Zhu and gave him a wink, “What’s going on?”

In the dim light, Ge Zhu didn’t notice the marks on Jiang Luo’s body as he explained, “Someone just brought the male fish in with them when they escaped, and a few of us took the opportunity to kill him. They don’t dare to make a sound now, for fear of attracting the attention of the male fish outside.”

” Ye Xun Where are they?”

Ge Zhu led him deeper into the bilge, the smell of fish getting stronger the further in they went. Before long, they came to the end.

“They’re all inside, leave me alone until you get back,” Ge Zhu felt around on the wall and opened a secret door, “come in.”

Jiang Luo and he went inside, and there was a small room with lights on, and Lu Youyi was standing in it, and Jiang Luo went over and saw that they were looking around a wall of photographs.

At a quick glance, there must be hundreds of photographs on the wall, all of them of the ship’s crew. From the captain to Dan Nier, every face is familiar.

“This is ……” Jiang Luo had a bit of a guess in his mind, “A list of crew members who have turned into male fish?”

Ye Xun nodded, “I suppose so.”

Kuang Zheng counted the photos over, “Three hundred and twenty.”

Once this number was stated, everyone fell silent.

One male fish is fine to deal with, four or five can be dealt with, but if it’s three hundred and twenty …… this is already a hell of a lot harder.

Zhuo Zhongqiu rubbed his brow with a headache and said the big truth, “Even if my father came here, there’s nothing he could do.”

Wen Renlian could not speak either, he looked at these photos on the wall for a long time and sighed, “Remember these faces, some of the blood eels have torn through their human skin, but I’m afraid there are others that have remained as they are and are hiding in the crowd. Take the photos first and see if there are any of these people in the bilge.”

“By the way ……” Wen Renlian turned his head.

Jiang Luo unobtrusively zipped his jacket up as far as it would go, half his face buried between the collar to hide the traces of his body.

He really doesn’t want to explain a word about Chi You right now.

Before he got into bed, he had the courage to make big jokes, but after he got into bed, Jiang Luo just wanted to take out his old self and beat him up.

Especially now, he still has something left on him from that dog …… Jiang Luo is really embarrassed.

Fortunately Wen Renlian didn’t notice, but counted the people and asked, ” Jiang Luo , did you bring Li Sha?”

Jiang Luo nodded, “It’s just outside.”

Lu Youyi looked back hesitantly at Jiang Luo , “What’s wrong with your voice?”

With a rasp and a strange but charming smell, Lu Youyi muttered, “It makes my ears red.”

Jiang Luo rolled his eyes, “I’ve got a fever and a cold, and Ge Zhu didn’t tell you guys?”

Lu Youyi smiled shyly as he remembered, “No wonder your face is a bit red, so how are you now?”

Jiang Luo coughed twice and said weakly, “I’m fine, just a little weak.”

Ye Xun touched his forehead and after a minute nodded reassuringly, “The fever is gone.”

Since it wasn’t too serious, we moved on to discuss things. Jiang Luo concentrated on his thoughts, and as the group whispered about how to escape with more people after killing the female blood eels, Jiang Luo suddenly said, “Why don’t we kill all the blood eels?”

The crowd froze and stared at him in disbelief.

Jiang Luo shrugged, the corners of his mouth picking up as he said, “If we’re going to do something big, let’s do something big. Like, say, just blow up this ship.”
