Chapter 3349: Sudden Changes (90)

Yun Shishi was flustered, but she could only barely stabilize the rudder and did not dare to act rashly.

The captain had fallen to the ground and had not moved since.

Normally, it takes a lot more than the captain alone to control a cruise ship.

In the cockpit, the captain does not operate the cruise ship. The helm was mostly operated by sailors. Just now, there was a slight malfunction in the cockpit. The captain, the first mate, and the third mate had stepped in to inspect and give command.

Little Yichen knew a little about maritime affairs. When he saw that the captain was also in the cockpit, he knew that something special must have happened for the captain to personally take over the helm. Thus, he spared his life and let him control the cruise ship.

The captain was bold because he knew his own importance and was certain that Yun Shishi would not lay her hands on him.

Yun Shishi did not want to lay her hands on him, but she knew that if she did not do so, she might be the one ending up dead!

However, given the current crisis, there would be too many uncertainties without a sailor at the helm.

Under normal circumstances, a cruise ship would be left to drift on its own without any accidents.

But that was under normal circumstances.

Cruises have a fixed route, however. Only by following a fixed route would they avoid many dangers.

The sea was unimaginably huge. Seventy percent of the world was made up of the oceans, and humankind’s mastery over the sea was very limited. The dangers posed by the depths were also unpredictable. If they so much as deviated a tiny fraction from the route, and failed to avoid a storm, they could capsize at any time.

Now, she was the only person in the cockpit, steering the course.

Yun Shishi went through the buttons and switches. Earlier, when she observed how the captain operated the ship, she had difficulty understanding the complicated dashboard and telling one button from another.

Navigating a cruise ship was different from driving a car. It would be impossible to understand it just by looking and not understanding.

At this point, an alarm sounded from the screen. A red light kept flashing. Yun Shishi walked over and looked at the screen, only to see a bunch of random codes appearing on it. She was confused.

She thought they were English words, but after looking at them for a long time, she could not understand what the numbers on the screen meant.

On the screen, there was only a vague route. After the red light flashed for a long time, Yun Shishi did not dare to touch it. Not long after, an exclamation mark surrounded by a red border at the top right corner of the screen started jumping.

How did that happen?

She broke out in a cold sweat.

The alarm in the cockpit caught the attention of the second mate in the other cabin. Realizing that the door to the cockpit was locked, he became suspicious. He approached the door and took a look inside. He was instantly shocked!

He saw the bodies of several people strewn all over the ground, the floor was a bloody mess.

Yun Shishi heard a sound at the door and spun around to take a look. Immediately she saw someone, whom she assumed to be one of the sailors, standing right at the door. She was startled and took a step back. She subconsciously tightened her grip on the pistol in her hand and stared at the door vigilantly.

“Open the Door!” The man outside the door shouted to be let in.

Naturally, Yun Shishi was not stupid to the extent of doing what the man demanded!

“The alarm has been triggered! Let me in!”

Yun Shishi understood what he meant. Thinking of the mess of codes and exclamation marks on the dashboard screen earlier, she speculated that the second mate must have heard the alarm and rushed over after learning that the ship was in danger.
