   Chapter 406 Three hundred twenty one. The light of redemption

  【Flame is the light of civilization】

  Oliver forgot when he was looking through the trash can and saw a sentence on a book. He didn't pick up the book, but wrote down this sentence - mainly because he only knew one sentence.

   Now, Oliver, after many trials and tribulations, has time to think like a philosopher and add a sentence after this.

  【Fire is the source of life】

  The fire snake licked Oliver's cheek, warm and dry to dispel the original cold and dampness in the cabin.

   The side facing the fire made Oliver think he was on the beach of Rodster Harbor in summer, and the shade behind told him it was just an illusion.

The clothes that    picked up were put by Oliver to dry by the fire, and when his body was not so cold, he smashed open the can with a rusty kitchen knife he got from the kitchen.

   There is no smell, Oliver thought it was the previous cold that made him temporarily lose his sense of smell, but he still couldn't smell it when he reached the tip of his nose.

   He leaned over the can, there was no sign of mold, and licked it with the tip of his tongue, the bitter taste filled his taste buds. He could taste nothing but saltiness.

   "No smell...should be fine."

   Ten years of storage have already melted the food in the can.

Oliver had eaten something far more filthy and disgusting, like half a loaf of bread in vomit... So after stirring the jar a few times with a knife and found nothing suspicious, he drank some canned juice, if it didn't feel uncomfortable or If it is diarrhea, it means it is safe food.

  The completely dried clothes exuded a slightly intoxicating smell of comfort. Oliver changed his dirty clothes, picked up some water droplets that had condensed on the wall to wash the wound, and then put the rest under his body.

   The kerosene poured on the charcoal was almost burned out, but the charcoal was completely burnt.

  Oliver filled some more damp charcoal to keep it from going out, and curled up in the pile of laid clothes.

  He was a little tired.

  …

  Jojo has a strong instinct. In this steamship, there is an existence that is very important to her.

   After checking the upper deck, Anna floated back to Lu Li in the stream, frowning: "It doesn't feel right to me here."

  Lili was the same, the big ship stranded in the swamp gave him a very strange feeling, like a whale stranded in the shoal.

  Anyway, they have to go up and take a look.

   "Or you wait outside, I'll go in and look for it." Ana suggested that she could ignore the entity, and it wouldn't take too long to shuttle a few times in the big ship.

  Lu Li shook his head: "Together."

   looked at Yingchuoren not far away, it stood beside the boat a few meters away from the crowd, without further guidance.

   The next thing to do is to find them on their own.

   There was a rock on the upstream side to help them climb up, but with Anna there, they were "carried" directly to the deck.

  The wooden deck, which had been carefully maintained, was now in disrepair and lifeless. Lu Li looked around the deck and the upper deck and saw the entrance to the lower deck.

   Oliver has an oil lamp and the ground is not safe, so he might be hiding underneath.

   Holding up the oil lamp, Lu Li bypassed the fragile deck that might collapse, and entered the dark under-deck space accompanied by a creaking sound.

   The long corridor in front of him extended to the end of the darkness, and Lu Li saw an old gear elevator, which was probably a passenger ship.

   "Call him."

   About ten meters away from the entrance, Lu Li stopped and said to Qiaoqiao.

   "There is a banyan tree outside as a barrier, no matter how big the movement is, the servants of the evil **** cannot come in."

   And the fish that slip through the net alone... Ana will keep them coming and going.

"is it okay……"

   Qiao Qiao has never been so close to hope, she asked subconsciously, Lu Li did not answer her, but Qiao Qiao who reacted nervously looked at the darkness ahead, took a deep breath and shouted.

   "Oliver!"

   Brother's name vibrated, shattered into countless echoes, and transmitted to the distance.

  …

   In a trance, Oliver heard someone calling his name.

   The chaotic consciousness made it difficult for him to think, until the memory before going to bed rushed into his mind, reminding him of where he was——

   Oliver woke up suddenly.

   The fire and the oil lamp were not extinguished, but the charcoal was about to burn out.

   What time is it now... It's been burning for almost two hours... It's almost morning...

   He opened the corner of the "curtain" of the porthole, and the clouds outside were still a dark blood-red color, which had not changed.

   Oliver sat down and threw two pieces of dried charcoal into the fire, recalling the call he had heard earlier.

   "Perhaps not a hallucination?"

   Oliver thought to himself, listening intently like a man holding on to a life-saving straw.

   But unfortunately, there is nothing but the faint sound of the water current and the distant echoes lingering inside the hull.

   sighed, Oliver checked the wound, it seemed that there was no more pus, and no more pain, but there was a circle of black lines around the wound that made him uneasy.

   There is no real curse...

   I should have dug up this piece of meat cruelly.

   Oliver thought, now the black lines of the wound have spread to almost half the size of the palm.

   Go out as soon as possible, and then find someone to help, Lu Li will definitely help himself...

   was thinking, a faint call sounded in his ears.

   "Oliver..."

who is it! ?

   Oliver trembled, and the next moment he realized that it was his sister's voice!

  …

   "Oliver! Brother!"

  Jojo's hoarse voice echoed on the corridor below the deck.

Most of the hatches on both sides of the    are closed, and occasionally a few are opened, revealing the severely corroded narrow space and the rusted iron frame.

   "Oliver!"

  Jojo shouted her brother's name over and over again, and all the negative emotions were left behind by her.

   Even Lu Li, who offered a helping hand, didn't give up, and she had no reason.

   After passing the corner, a dark corridor with only outlines appeared before us, and at the end was a half-closed wooden cabin door.

  Jojo felt an extremely strong premonition suddenly, her brother was in the room at the end.

   She looked back at Lu Li and walked quickly to the room at the end.

"elder brother!"

  …

   "I'm here! I'm here!"

   Oliver responded loudly to his sister's shout, and got up in a hurry, but he almost fell into the fire because he couldn't make up his mind.

   stumbled to his feet, and Oliver rushed to the door.

   shouts echoed from outside the door, and he hurriedly pulled open the wooden chair blocking the door, impatient to see his sister-although he didn't know how Jojo got here.

  …

   Jojo, who was approaching the cabin, trotted instead, rushed to the door, and pushed open the half-closed door at the end of the corridor.

   What appeared in her eyes, which were still filled with surprise, was a corpse leaning against the wall.

   That's Oliver.

  Oliver's skin was grayish cyan, and it was cold against the cold wall, with no temperature. The treacherous black pattern climbed on his neck, outlining the outline of the kid.

   The fire and oil lamp in front of him had been extinguished for a long time, no longer emitting light.

   They came too late.
