The Underwater Alliance Chapter 5

Of course, An Li did not run around neurotically telling everyone that something bad might happen on the ship and that everyone should quickly find a way to escape. She also did not rush out in a panic, yelling nonsense. If it were a movie, she certainly wouldn't mind acting like this, but she was just a model with some fame. Refusing to follow the unspoken rules meant that she would have to wait for an opportunity to make a name for herself.

Movies? First of all, she has to live well.

Where is safe? Or more accurately, what will happen?

Tsunami? Typhoon? None of these are possible. The Goddess of Thalassa is equipped with all the necessary detection instruments. So, even if Enri is dumb, she knows that everyone she knows is talking about the lack of cell phone signal, and the room service is also slow, and it took a long time to order a salad. Although the explanation is that the cruise ship passed through an area of   abnormal current, causing a temporary problem with the radio and signal, it seems that one day has passed...

Seeing Jordan talking to the person next to him with a cold face, An Li immediately became alert. She looked back and found that Benjamin was no longer in the original corner. There were bodyguards guarding the door of the hall, so it was not easy to get out. But in this place where people come and go, it is impossible to find a so-called safe place. The best way is to wait until dawn, when everyone is drunk and the music is over, and then rush to the restaurant to buy some food and water that are easy to carry and store.

Now, I can only pray that no matter what happens, it doesn't happen before then.

As the night grew darker, there were drunk people everywhere. Some men and women were hugging each other regardless of the occasion, while others had already gone down the stairs to the private room next door. The venue was in chaos.

Jordan was pondering the news he had just received.

That man was just a little actor, it was ridiculous. He didn't believe that there was no one behind Benjamin, otherwise, under normal circumstances, who would dare to give him a cold shoulder, but...

Before he could finish his thought, everything in front of him suddenly went dark.

"What's wrong?!"

After the sudden and panicked shouts, many people like Jordan finally understood a little.

"What the hell? It's the most luxurious cruise ship in Asia, but it can still have a power outage!"

"Yes, Boss Han, what does this mean? Is this a special program?"

"Sorry, sorry... I'll go and ask for clarification right away!"

Those who were still awake were very dissatisfied. Some did not even bother to wait for any explanation. Their interest was disturbed, so they naturally planned to leave. So some of them staggered to the open-air swimming pool to call their female companions or friends to go back together.

"ah---"

A scream silenced all the dissatisfied and angry questions.

After such a long time, everyone was barely getting used to the darkness. Through the faint moonlight, they could clearly see a woman screaming and falling to the ground. In front of her was a man who seemed drunk and slumped over by the swimming pool. There were several other women in the same position, motionless. There was even one person who was half floating in the water.

"Dead...dead, they are all dead!"

The crowd was in an uproar, and all the bodyguards ran towards their respective employers, while some went to look at those who were drunk and motionless.

An Li trembled, turned around and prepared to leave here quickly, but she suddenly found that Benjamin was faster and had already run out of the fire escape stairs.

***

The sun will rise as usual, and January 9th will come as usual.

Clear sky, a city in northern China.

All those who were hurriedly getting ready to go out subconsciously glanced at the sky, wondering why it was so hot when the sun hadn't even risen yet?

The cold wind that used to blow on my face like a knife has become warm. Is it still early for spring? The New Year hasn't even passed yet. What's going on? The urban heat island effect shouldn't be too outrageous. Look at the carbon dioxide emissions! Forget it. It's better to have a rise in temperature than to have a heavy snowfall in previous years. It's almost the New Year. There are so many things to do at home and at work. The children have to take final exams. I wish there were 48 hours in a day to waste. Who has the mood to care about the weather? Just don't do the tragedy of my hometown having two snowfalls in January this year, one for 15 days and the other for 16 days.

More than 20 years ago, the streets of cities across China were absolutely filled with bicycles. When they encountered a red light during rush hour, they would stop in a spectacular manner! As for now, it is even more spectacular, with a row of battery-powered bicycles in many red and blue styles. All of them can slide out with a slight twist of the handle, although few people will regularly check whether the screws of their bicycles are intact.

Once something goes wrong, everything becomes chaotic.

The green light was on, but no matter how I turned the handle, the electric bike just kept swaying where it was.

If a bicycle breaks down, you can just carry it and go. But if a battery-powered scooter breaks down, what can you do? Pushing it is tiring. Besides, it is just past seven o'clock, and who is not in a hurry to go to work? You should quickly find a garage or store nearby, lock the scooter at the door, and take the bus or taxi.

The first woman pushed her bike dejectedly and began to cross the road.

Immediately following the second and third ones, extremely strange phenomena suddenly appeared on the road. Large numbers of people were forced to walk at the four intersections. Upon closer look, they were all problems with the electric bikes. What kind of evil god had they encountered today?

"your car?"

"Yeah, I suddenly couldn't move. Are you the same?"

"Yes, I bought it a week ago!"

People were talking about it at once. The more expensive and better the electric bikes were, the less likely they were to move. However, the most broken and outdated ones could slide a few meters before stopping.

This kind of strange thing happens every year, but it is especially common this year. Countless people are cursing and yelling, and only a few of them are scared and ready to call or send Weibo messages for help, but they don’t know that there is a problem with the signal. The number cannot be dialed out for a long time, and the network cable has no response for a long time after being connected.

Could it be the legendary sunspot activity or solar storm affecting communications?

At this time, people's eyelids twitched inexplicably, but they were not panicked. What they wanted to know most was what happened. As for going to work? With such a large-scale strange phenomenon, it is hard to believe that the leaders have not heard about it. If you are late, you are late. As long as the boss is not too harsh, he will not deduct your salary for it.

This is completely beyond people's understanding. You can't explain why aliens are interested in electric vehicles?

The same situation is happening all over the world, except that except for China, there are not so many people using electric vehicles in such a spectacular way. In some places, cars cannot be started, and in some places, airports are closed. Only the war-torn areas have not been greatly affected. It is still a guerrilla war of one shot at another and terrorist attacks with gunpowder. The more civilized, developed and peaceful the city is, the more problems there are.

The mobile phone cannot be used, the watch stopped, the camera broke, the computer hard drive could not be opened, and all communications were mysteriously disconnected.

People finally began to panic, rushing out of their homes to buy supplies.

By the time the government intervened, it was already too late. In such a huge country, only a few places had not experienced any abnormalities, and only one in ten provinces could maintain basic communications. Once there were no telephones or networks, orders could only be conveyed by shouting or running. Even a village chief would be exhausted. However, bad information came one after another, making all the leaders of major countries dizzy.

At 12:00 on January 9, it was confirmed that all low-Earth orbit satellites had lost contact with the ground.

Regardless of whether they are meteorological satellites, military satellites, or communication satellites, they may still be working diligently, but the receiving systems on the ground are all paralyzed. It also means that the intercontinental missile launch systems carefully laid out by many countries, as well as all the networks covering the country, whether military or civilian, are also paralyzed.

At 13:00, almost all airports around the world are unable to take off.

Cars, no matter if they are buses, trucks, sedans or even trains, have become a pile of scrap metal because they cannot start. Even if they start, many instruments are malfunctioning. Driving such a car is undoubtedly seeking death. They are no better than tricycles, bicycles or even skateboards!

At 2 p.m., the crowd that was frantically snatching supplies had completely gotten out of control.

Ironically, people in war-torn areas simply ran back to the trenches and cellars without causing any panic.

Because of the interruption of communication and transportation, no one knew the situation in the outside world. They even thought that it was just a strange thing happening in a single city. Some people stayed at home after stealing things, but more people carried food and drinks on their backs and pedaled their bicycles desperately along the highway. They wanted to leave this city that had become so terrifying.

Whether they succeed or not, they are destined to despair.

Because no one can leave the earth.

At eight o'clock, many people on the Thalassa cruise ship woke up from the heat.

"What's going on? Is the air conditioner broken?"

Rayan rubbed his eyes and opened the quilt. He was planning to sleep soundly, but feeling his hungry stomach, he could only lament that even if it was a hundred yuan worth of beef noodles, he would have to satisfy his stomach.

He casually put on a pair of jeans and a plaid shirt, and was planning to wear a jacket, but when he pushed the door open, the heat wave that hit him in the face almost made him think he was dreaming.

It’s about 30 degrees here!

There is no air conditioning in the corridor! Who has the brain to turn up the heat so high just to see the pretty girls wearing little?

Rayan was full of doubts. In fact, those who did not attend the party last night also went to the bar to get drunk. There were not many people as stingy as him, so he walked all the way out and climbed three spiral stairs before he saw a man lying on the railing with a bottle of wine in his hand. His clothes and hair were messy. He could not see his appearance and did not know if he knew him.

"It's really unbearable. The price of a bottle of wine here is enough to buy dozens of bottles on shore!"

Rayan muttered to himself, he turned another corner and saw another man in sailor's clothes lying on the stairs, curled up into a ball, with his hands stretched forward as if trying to grab something.

"Are you sure? Even crew members can drink?" Rayan subconsciously felt that there was something wrong with the crew member's posture. There was only one shoe left on his foot, and the movement looked like he had rolled down the stairs. Moreover, the position of his neck was too crooked!

Did someone die?

Rayan was suddenly startled and screamed. Only then did he notice mottled marks on the delicate dark red carpet.

This scream made the previously quiet cabin lively again.

"What are you yelling about? dmn, why is it so hot?"

When the doors of several rooms nearby opened, Rayan ran to the other side of the corridor and climbed the stairs. He was timid and afraid of trouble, and he saw the body with his own eyes. Fortunately, he was just a crew member, so even if he was unlucky, he would not be implicated.

Rayan climbed up to the deck in one breath and looked at the people lying everywhere in the sun in a daze.

Most of them were crew members, they maintained strange postures, some curled up into a ball, some crawled into the shadows, lying motionless. The closest one was a woman dressed as a waitress. Her mouth was open into a weird wavy shape, her eyes were bulging, and her face was covered with dried bloodstains, just like in a horror movie.

"ah---"

Rayan screamed, stepped back violently and hit the wall that separated the cabins, grabbing his hair out of control.

What's going on? Is this a new type of spoof show? How come after waking up from a sleep, it becomes like this?

The people below who heard the noise continued to curse, and a moment later a scream was heard in the cabin below. The guests who found the bodies were talking in panic, and no one noticed that the second scream that disturbed their sweet dreams came from the deck.

Rayan looked around in a state of frustration. He had to leave here quickly.

Well, it often happens in movies, a place full of strange corpses, and the murderer, whether human or not, is lurking not far away, waiting to grab you from behind!

Rayan left the wall he was leaning against like lightning.

He ran like crazy and reached the staircase in one minute. He didn't even feel the burning pain of the sun on his exposed skin. Rayan wondered in disbelief why no one noticed the dead bodies lying on the first deck of the cruise ship. He nervously circumvented half of his body and climbed up the staircase, but saw a dead body hanging there. He suddenly thought that the man he saw first was probably not an alcoholic!

dmn it, this is not a movie, who would play such a bad joke, no no, this seems to be real!

Rayan was completely confused.

He then ran a distance and found that everything he saw was empty, including those beautifully decorated brand-name stores. All the entertainment venues on the Goddess of Thalassa, even those selling shoes and handbags, would not close, so there was no one to go.
