Lu Jinsheng was held around the waist by Sam and couldn't move at the moment. He wanted to stop Xu Wenji, but the latter ran too fast.
"Yiyi, take his medicine away!" Lu Jinsheng knew very well that if Xu Wenji took the medicine, he would surely die.
Hearing this, Shen Jianyi didn't hesitate. She rushed to the table at top speed to snatch it from him.
Unfortunately, she was too far away. Before she could reach him, he had already swallowed the pill.
"Are you crazy?"
Xu Wenji suddenly turned his head. "Yes, I'm crazy. All I want to do now is tear you all apart!"
Along with his wild laughter, there was also Vivian's mechanical voice: "Kill Shen Jianyi!!"
Almost simultaneously, they both attacked in that direction. Shen Jianyi didn't have time to dodge.
Lu Jinsheng reacted quickly. He kicked the table in front of him, and the table moved forward a few steps, tripping Xu Wenji.
It was better with only Sam left. For Shen Jianyi, it wasn't impossible to deal with him.
Lu Jinsheng blocked Xu Wenji's way, preventing him from attacking his target.
"I really can't figure out what your purpose is. The ship is about to sink. Are you still going to be so stubborn?"
Xu Wenji looked at him coldly. "Since I've made my choice, I have no way back now."
After saying this.
He threw a punch, but luckily Lu Jinsheng dodged it in time.
Lu Jinsheng took two steps back and caught his punch.
"You're very good, but it's a pity that you shouldn't have gotten involved. Now you can only consider yourself unlucky!"
But Lu Jinsheng didn't regret it. He would never let go of her hand and would always be her support.
The situation was very critical now. The four people in the room were fighting, and the ship was about to be caught in a whirlpool at sea.
...
In the storage room.
Hongxiu felt that they couldn't just sit there waiting for death. That definitely wouldn't do.
She also made a decision, which was to take the initiative. The two of them hadn't come out for so long. They must have encountered something.
"Hey, Xia Liang!" Hongxiu suddenly said.
Hearing someone call her name, Xia Liang slowly turned her head. Although the wounds on her body still hurt, she didn't complain at all.
She turned her head and asked, "What's up?"
"Is that Xu Wenji in the research room powerful?"
This question really stumped her. Xia Liang didn't know how to answer.
She hesitated for a moment, her mind thinking about something. After a while, Xia Liang replied, "He's very powerful."
After all, Xu Wenji used to be a very capable assistant beside Zhou Sang. He wasn't of the same kind as her. His role was to go out and do some tasks with a certain degree of danger.
Hongxiu was stunned. No wonder the two of them were held up. But she felt that there must be more than just one person in there.
"I'm going to find them."
"Unless you're crazy." Lu Weiran replied mercilessly, "Don't even mention whether you can help once you get there. First, tell me if you can even find the two of them."
Li Yao thought Lu Weiran was very right at this moment. He immediately stood up and clapped his hands in approval. "That's right. What if you also get into trouble? Then who will protect us?"
Hearing this, Hongxiu carried her big knife and walked towards him. She lifted her chin. "Who said I'm going to protect you?"
He swallowed his saliva. His gaze shifted down to her knife, and he immediately cowered.
"I... I was just joking. Why are you taking it seriously!"
Hongxiu was too lazy to pay attention to him. She felt that everyone in this room was a burden. If it weren't for them delaying things, she might have already helped.
"You guys are really a bunch of useless people." Hongxiu turned around and was about to leave.
Just then, the ship was suddenly hit violently. Everyone fell in one direction.
Song Nuan was about to change Xia Liang's dressing. But because of this impact, she didn't have time to grab something to steady herself and fell out.
Fortunately, Hongxiu reacted in time. She grabbed her arm and pulled hard, making Song Nuan fall into her arms.
"Th... thank you." Song Nuan lowered her head, her cheeks blushing slightly.
Hongxiu frowned tightly. "Something must have happened outside. I'll go and take a look."
She was just about to walk out when Song Nuan suddenly grabbed her, making her stop abruptly.
Hongxiu turned her head. "What are you doing?"
Song Nuan hesitated for a long time. She took a deep breath. "I want to go with you. It's dangerous for you to go alone."
As soon as these words were spoken, Song Wen immediately interrupted firmly. "No. Xiaonuan, are you crazy? If you go out with her, you'll only be a hindrance."
Song Nuan was also very determined. She tightly held her hand and refused to let go.
"I don't care. I'm going with her!"
Anyway, the situation wasn't good now. Hongxiu had saved her life. How could she abandon her?
But Hongxiu took her hand away and said coldly, "Stay here obediently. Your sister is right."
"Lin You!"
Hongxiu stopped for a moment.
For so many years, few people had called her by her real name. Song Nuan knew she was Hongxiu, and everyone else called her that, but she still called her in such a unique way.
"Please, let me go with you."
Hongxiu's heart was indeed shaken. In the end, she couldn't harden her heart to refuse.
"Okay."
Hearing her agree, Song Nuan was overjoyed. She let out a sigh of relief.
But how could Song Wen just watch her sister go to her death? She frowned tightly. "Xiaonuan, don't you even listen to your sister's words now?"
"Sister!"
"Don't say these useless things. Stay in the room obediently."
Song Nuan was almost about to cry out of anger. Her body trembled slightly, and there were some very soft sobs.
Seeing this, Hongxiu sighed. "I can protect her."
Song Nuan also mustered up her courage. "She saved my life. I'm not afraid of danger. My life belongs to her anyway. How can I hide behind her?"
These words really left Song Wen speechless. She had no choice but to finally decide to go out with them.
"Then I'm going too!"
In the end, everyone decided to go out. Li Yao was very reluctant at first, but seeing everyone going out, he felt that it wasn't safe to stay in the storage room either.
So, he pulled Lin Zhirou who was lying on the ground and quickly followed them out.
They opened the door of the storage room.
The scene in the hall outside really shocked Hongxiu. She looked at the mess on the ground. There wasn't a single living person.
The ship was still shaking violently. Hongxiu came to the deck and only then understood that they were about to crash into a whirlpool at sea.
"Damn it!" Hongxiu reacted quickly. "Where's the captain?!"
