Ding Yiyi nodded in agreement. "I need to get the captain's key so I can find out what the secret he's keeping is."

Dong Qing nodded. "I'll go back and discuss it with Liu Qiang." Near the end of the break up, he stuffed an apple into Ding Yiyi's hand.

"From where?" Ding Yiyi knew that since the boat had been drifting on the sea for a month, apples like this were rare.

The latter laughed and said, "I won it when I was betting with someone else."

Ding Yiyi returned to her room and placed the apple on the small cabinet beside the table. She stared at the bright red apple in a daze, not knowing when she fell asleep.

A few days later, Ding Yiyi and the others decided to take the opportunity to steal the captain's key the only time they had to come to the port to replenish their supplies next week. The captain had a penchant for drinking, and he had to be drunk.

On that day, many of the crew members would disembark as well. They only needed to grasp that time.

Time passed quickly, and the mood of the crew members rose. Especially the new crew members, they were all filled with anticipation when they got out of bed.

He had originally thought that the boat would be very strict. However, as long as he didn't touch the ship's rules, he would be completely free on board. He would even be able to disembark once he reached the shore.

In the afternoon, they were already close to the coastline. No one knew where the dock was, but they could confirm that it was somewhere around the Atlantic Ocean.

There were people selling seafood and moving groceries on the wharf. The small town of a European building could be vaguely seen. Even Ding Yiyi and the other two felt like it had been a lifetime.

Liu Qiang was temporarily stopped to move the goods, so he had no way of moving them. Therefore, he had to deal with Dong Qing and Ding Yiyi's theft of the keys.

Ding Yiyi pretended to go out of the boat to play and came back halfway. Dong Qing was responsible for giving her the key after she stole it. She would open the cabinet, and the two of them would return the key after they were done moving the materials.

On the boat, Liu Qiang looked towards the second floor as he moved the supplies. There were bright lights and laughter coming from there.

The captain and the others were drinking, as were some of the people who didn't want to get off the boat.

When Dongqing sat down, she found that most of the people on the ship were old crew members, and all of the new crew members seemed to have disembarked.

These people didn't seem to care, as if they had already expected this. Because these people formed a circle, Dong Qing didn't have the chance to make a move. After the wine was gone, he immediately stood up to move it.

When he brought the wine over, the old crew seemed to be talking about something and immediately shut up. He placed the wine in front of the captain, and suddenly his arm was caught.

Although he was surprised, he was still calm. "Captain, you're drunk."

"I can see that you have muscles all over your body. You will definitely be able to use them. It would be great if you could find more people like you." After saying that, she stuffed a handful of peanuts in front of him and said, "Let's go. If you have time, you should get off the boat to play. Otherwise, you won't have time to play in the future."

You won't be able to play in the future? What did that mean? Dongqing smiled and walked out of the room. When she closed the door, she flipped the key in her hand.

Ding Yiyi stayed in the captain's quarters. She did not turn on the light, and of course she could not turn on the light either. When she heard the sound of footsteps, she was not sure who was coming, so she could only wait and see.

The familiar figure stood there against the light. She stepped forward, but before she could speak, she heard footsteps approaching again.

Dongqing covered her mouth with one hand while she opened the door with the other. The two of them hid behind the door, waiting for the sound of footsteps to leave.

Noticing that Ding Yiyi had broken free from his embrace, he didn't say anything and only looked at her with a bit of yearning.

"I'll give you half an hour. Take your time, I'll wait for you on the first floor's deck."

Ding Yiyi nodded and waited for them to leave before returning to the cabinet. There were a total of 5 keys. She tried them one by one and finally opened the cabinet's door. He pulled out the first book.

In the red folder, the cover was a blank sheet of paper. On the second page was written Eserbia, followed by a series of single words, and in the lower right-hand corner of each sheet was an "N" sign that Ding Yiyi had seen on the captain's wrist. She didn't know what it meant, but now she had a vague idea.

She thought for a moment that it was the place where the crew would be recruited, and that the single word was the name of the man. She flipped through the first book roughly to find almost a hundred people. Then, she started to flip through the pages again. From the time the books were stacked, it seemed that they were arranged according to the order of time.

Then Uruk only happened today, so the order should be right at the back! Sure enough, she found the book with the name of Uruk on the third row after.

Her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She took two deep breaths before she finally opened up a critical page.

There were very few names on the Uruk, only six thin pages. Just as she turned to the fourth page, a warning bell suddenly rang, she couldn't care about anything else and immediately flipped to the next page, only to find the word "Ye" written on it!

She could not explain what she was feeling right now. The information was still extremely exciting. Could that "Ye" be her lover? Back then, he really didn't die from the explosion and instead landed on this ship?

The noise outside was getting louder and louder, and she was worried that the captain would come over. She quickly packed everything up, put everything back, and then quietly went out.

She had intended to go to the first floor and return the keys to Dongqing, as she had planned, but as soon as she descended to the deck, she saw many people gathered on the deck, including the captain.

Dong Qing was besieged. His face was already colored. The two crew members forcefully grabbed his shoulders and cursed.

"Did you get the key?" The captain spoke in American English, his face contorted with anger. He rushed forward and punched the Asian man. "Only you came close to me."

Ding Yiyi moved a little, and suddenly heard Dong Qing raise her voice. "What key!?" This is not how you want to frame me. Don't tell me that you think it's easy to bully the new crew members?

Quite a few of the new crew members had also returned and were whispering to each other. With so many people in the cabin, only Dong Qing was suspected of being a newcomer. Anyone would be dissatisfied with her.

While the others were thinking this, Ding Yiyi knew that it was another matter. The other party wanted her to stay out of it and let him handle everything.

However, the captain would not let it go without finding the key. Now Ding Yiyi finally understood that the roster in the cabinet must have belonged to the crew, but they had changed so many crew members within a few years. Where did the original crew member go? There must be a problem!

The crew were all strong and robust. Ding Yiyi definitely could not do that. She ignored Dong Qing, and just as she was about to step forward, her shoulder was grabbed.

Liu Qiang pretended to look into the crowd and said in a low voice, "This is their territory. These people are rude and unreasonable. Going up like this is not a solution, and in the end, it might cause these people to have doubts. Give me the key."

Grabbing the keys, he pushed Ding Yiyi away and started to squeeze through the crowd. As he squeezed through the crowd, he asked the others, "What happened? It wasn't easy to get off the boat today."

Ding Yiyi saw him stuffing the keys into the man's pocket as he spoke to someone else. She made a plan in her head and jumped off the boat.

"Help!"

The cry for help caught the attention of everyone. Hearing that it was a woman, everyone came forward to check. Liu Qiang took the opportunity to hang the key on one of the crew members and then passed through the crowd to find Dong Qing.

"Don't be rash." He suppressed Dong Qing who wanted to jump into the sea to save him. Ding Yiyi knew how to swim, so he guessed that Ding Yiyi must have done it on purpose. The two of them lost their minds easily.

The captain told Ding Yiyi to fish it up. There were sharks in the sea, so it was not certain that they would eat it.

"I just came back. I missed my first step, so my feet couldn't move." Ding Yiyi shivered from the cold. She gritted her teeth and pretended like she didn't know anything as she looked at everyone.

Everyone's attention turned back to Dong Qing. Liu Qiang twitched the arms of the person beside him, "Do you have a cigarette? Just give me one."

That person was in high spirits as he watched the scene unfold. He fished in his pocket and pulled out a key. This action of his was seen by many people, and they all spoke of it on the spot.

"What's going on?" The crew member was also surprised. He quickly waved his hand, wanting to throw away the key. The captain walked up to the Danish boy with a cold expression, waved his hand and knocked him aside.

"Put him behind the boat and drag him away."

Shocked, Ding Yiyi and the other two dragged it behind the boat? Could this person still live? Putting aside the speed of the ship, just those ferocious sharks and the ice-cold sea water were enough to take a person's life!

The Dane wailed and was dragged away, and they did tie his hands under the cabin, ready to drag him away.

Inside the room, Ding Yiyi had just changed her clothes and sneezed a few times, feeling uneasy. She had underestimated the severity of the group. At least the Dane was innocent, and she would not feel at ease for the rest of her life if she sat and waited for someone to be dragged to death.

She took out a self-defense knife from the cabinet and looked outside. Most of the people were moving the supplies, so they probably wouldn't land here. There was only one way to save people.

The door was silent. After all, as a clerk, she and the captain were the most commonly seen people on this floor. The captain was drinking, and the rest of the people would not come.

Not long after she left, she was stopped by a voice calling out to her. She turned around and saw that it was another of the crew, an American, a big man and an old sailor, who kindly asked her how she was doing.

She made a perfunctory gesture, pretending to go to the kitchen to order some ginger soup, then quickly slipped away. In order to be found out who she was, she actually went to the kitchen and ordered a bowl of ginger soup, then sneaked onto the deck while drinking.2

People were coming and going on the deck, and everyone was doing their work in the sky. No one noticed her, so she took the opportunity to slip towards the cabin.

The rice noodles and other necessities were still wet in the cabin. The smell of mold and dust was still lingering in his nostrils.

She called out twice, but no one answered. She quietly pulled open the wooden planks beneath the cabin and heard a cry for help.

"Lower your voice." She quickly gestured for the Danish boy to be quiet and not attract attention.

The Dane, his hands bound, had been treading on water for an hour and was already exhausted, and now he saw that someone was coming and was asking for help.
