Chapter 393: Chapter 272: The Professionals
Han Ning thought for a moment. ’When Qing Dou took me to the scene earlier, I only saw the leader, Cang Fei, with a few Cyan God Armor Beetle Masters. As for the Insect Servants, they were nowhere to be seen.’
’It’s highly likely those Insect Servants took the captured humans somewhere.’
To be honest, he was pessimistic about the fate of those humans.
They had likely either become test subjects for the Cyan God Armor or been enslaved. And now that Cang Fei was captured, the entire Cyan God Armor Tribe would probably go berserk, which instantly extinguished any thought he had of going out to save that group of humans.
They were strangers who had met by chance. He would save them if he could, but there was nothing to be done if he couldn’t.
"The various supplies on this cruise ship will be a great help to us. The navigational and various precision electronic devices, in particular, can be installed on the Gray Demon Whale to help us navigate on our voyages."
"And the other daily necessities and food... it’s enough to feed and clothe all of us for a year or two."
"Dean! Dean! We need you over here for a moment!"
As Dean Wu was speaking, he was suddenly called over by Liu Yueran, who was in charge of rescuing passengers nearby.
"Han Ning, you’ve worked hard today. You go get some rest. I’m going to help them continue taking inventory of the supplies." He patted Han Ning’s shoulder and turned to run back toward the cruise ship.
"You’re being too modest, Dean Wu. An old teacher like you, on the verge of retirement, is working on the front lines. How could I possibly go and rest?"
Han Ning smiled, summoned his Soul Beast, and immediately followed.
There was none of that annoying white mist inside the Jade Forest. Other than the abnormally rich oxygen content, it was already very similar to the environment on Blue Star before the transmigration.
The excess oxygen only caused a mild case of oxygen intoxication, which wasn’t a major problem.
The surviving passengers had witnessed a hellish scene. Now that they had calmed down somewhat, they were beginning to develop a preliminary understanding of this strange Otherworld.
"Young man, where... where is this? Why are there so many bizarre-looking animals?"
Han Ning used his powerful physique to clamber onto the cruise ship’s deck in just a few moves. He easily scooped up an older woman who had suffered a head injury. Clutching her bleeding head, her face still etched with terror, she asked in a trembling voice.
"Ma’am, you’ve all crossed over into a new world. Do you know what ’crossing over’ means?" Han Ning opened his mouth, unsure how to explain the concept of transmigration to her.
"Don’t worry, the animals here won’t attack you. In fact, they’ll help you. Yin Yi, put her down." He offered a polite smile.
"Wait... my daughter is still in our cabin! She hit her head when the ship was shaking violently and is unconscious now. Young man, please help her first." The woman took a deep breath, trying not to look at the filth and gore on the deck as she fought to calm her nerves.
"Okay, take me to her. Yin Yi, help treat her wound."
"Ling~"
From the side, Yin Yi extended a tender, glowing white branch that emitted a faint Starlight, and gently tapped the woman’s forehead.
A soft light seeped in, and the gash instantly healed, leaving no trace.
The woman blinked, lowered the hand clutching her head, and said in amazement, "It really doesn’t hurt anymore. This tree is... quite miraculous."
"Let’s go." Han Ning smiled without further explanation.
’She must have been hiding in her cabin from the very beginning,’ he figured. ’She probably didn’t witness the bloody carnage outside, or she wouldn’t have calmed down so quickly.’
Worried about triggering bad memories, he didn’t ask any more questions and followed behind the woman into the spacious cabin area.
As expected of a high-end cruise ship, even the lodging areas were more luxurious than he had imagined. The interior spaces didn’t feel cramped at all.
However, the hallways were littered with all sorts of scattered personal belongings and crimson bloodstains, a clear sign that a violent struggle had taken place here.
Thanks to the efforts of the academy members, most of the survivors had been gathered on the deck, but there were still a few small areas that they hadn’t had time to search completely.
The elevators had long since been damaged by the ship’s violent lurching. The woman led him down the stairs. When they neared the 10th deck below the main deck, she finally stopped, ducked into an adjacent corridor, and brought Han Ning to a cabin with the number 1007 on the door.
She swiped the key card and pushed the door open. The transparent floor-to-ceiling windows were already shattered, and the sliding partition door was sealed shut, obscuring the view outside.
Inside was a double-occupancy cabin of about 50 square meters, fully equipped with all kinds of modern furniture. With just a glance, Han Ning spotted plenty of good things he could take back to his own quarters to improve his quality of life.
For example, the 40-inch LCD television mounted on the wall, the artistic chandelier, the plush sofa, and the high-end bathroom fixtures.
Of course, the finest items of all were the two large beds in the center of the room.
On one of the snow-white beds lay... a young woman who weighed at least 200 pounds.
She had hit something on her left cheek, tearing open a gash five centimeters long and deep enough to reveal the dark red flesh within. It looked like only a crude attempt had been made to stop the bleeding. Although gauze had been simply applied, the wound was too large, and blood was still seeping from the edges.
Besides this rather severe injury, she also had obvious impact bruises on her arms and abdomen.
"Ngh..."
The woman’s face was flushed. She lay on her side on the bed, continuously muttering unintelligible words.
As he got closer, he could faintly make out words like "Mom... Lan Qian..."
