Chapter 636

"A losing war?" said zero faintly: "Maybe so, but I don't have the habit of giving up without trying. The choice of Hermes? The inheritor of the will of the planet? Yes, I am both. But before that, I was a human. I am zero, a person who doesn't want my home to be destroyed. In order to protect the home where I and everyone live, even if the opponent is prosius, I will fight until the last minute, straight To the end of life. Am I great? No, it's just the instinct of life. Belafar, what about you? Is the instinct of the northern ocean Lord to yield? "

In the face of zero's questioning, the leader of the northern ocean suddenly exuded a majestic momentum. It was like a calm sea, suddenly setting off a raging wave, and the momentum swept across the entire island, waking up all life in a deep sleep. However, the momentum stopped immediately, and Bella Farr's round eyes narrowed into a seam, which glittered with light. His sharp eyes like a sword hit up and down Measuring zero, you can basically feel the stinging pain wherever the eyes of the leader of the northern ocean fall.

"Your courage is not small. Even Hermes dare not talk to me in this tone, not to mention you blame me?" belafar suddenly laughed with disdain and turned into rage: "What do you know? Man, you don't know what you're facing? Prosius is not as simple as you think, no matter how you define it! Besides, even if it chooses knights, you're probably not his opponent. These powerful guys can't be defeated by you without giving in. This is bullshit!"

"So you don't understand human beings, Bella Farr. We may be small, or we don't measure ourselves. But we never give up struggle and resistance for a moment. No matter what we face, giving up is never our first choice." facing the eyes of the northern Lord without fear, he stood up and said: "However, I also respect your choice. Belafar, the brave Lord of the northern ocean. Goodbye. I hope the next meeting will not be on the battlefield."

"What if?"

Zero said calmly, "I'll kill you."

Belafar seemed to hear some funny joke and beat it on the ground with his hands. Zero didn't stop and turned away. In front of him was no longer the powerful life described by Hermes, but the sad soul who chose to give in. This meeting was indeed beyond zero's expectation, but it would not shake his determination. Since belafar refused to help, tomorrow will be better He set out for another place. But before he had gone far, bellafar suddenly shouted behind him, "stop! Arrogant boy, do you think I don't want to resist? Do I like to be slaughtered like a pig and sheep, but I alone can't resist prosius and his knights!"

Zero whirlwind turned around and said loudly, "so what if you add me now!"

"It's not enough. As I said before, I can't bet on you, or what you are now. I need to see if you are qualified to stand side by side with me!" Bella farsumu said: "This era is chaotic, and you and Hermes want it to return to order. Now, bypass the abyss gate and continue to go west, and you will reach the western continent. There is a country where they are in civil strife. Go there to show your strength and turn chaos into order. If you can do it, I will recognize the qualification of your companion!"

Zero head: "remember what you said, Bella Farr. I'll show you, my strength and determination!"

Then he strode away without stopping.

Belafar sat back on the ground, looked at the lizard behind him and said, "shit, it's really unpleasant to let a boy despise it. In fact, I'm not so timid, do you say, little green?"

The giant lizard opened one eye, looked at the northern ocean Lord, yawned, retracted his head to the other side and continued to sleep. Belafar poked the campfire with his trident to make it burn more.

The next morning, maple was still sleeping, but he suddenly felt the ground shaking regularly. He opened his sleepy eyes and saw ripples in the remaining clean water in the glass he drank last night. He drilled out of the tent in doubt and saw a giant animal coming out of the forest from a distance. He was covered with dark green scales and looked like a lizard The head, however, has a spindle shaped meat crown. The glowing meat whiskers behind the meat crown are floating, as if blue fluorescence were floating from there.

When the giant lizard appeared, not only the maple saw it, but also the soldier in charge of guarding shouted: "yesterday, the sea animal appeared and was ready to attack!"

"Wait."

The zero drilled out of the tent stopped them and said something surprising to them: "this big guy is here to help us."

Bellafar didn't show up today, but his "pet" But it came. The giant lizard helped zero. They took the destiny back to the sea. Under the command of zero, the soldiers tied the destiny with the big guy with a cable. Then the giant lizard walked in front and pulled the destiny back to the sea from the beach. It was only pulled to the sea not far away. When the soldiers put down the heavy anchor to fix the ship, the giant lizard shook off the cable and then gave a long drill Into the sea. But a moment, it has swam away.

The people on the beach took a rubber raft back to the destiny, came to the control room and sat down. Everyone looked at him and said faintly, "we're going to change our route, bypass the abyss gate and continue westward. We're going to west continent!"

Since you promised belafar, zero will not go back. So destiny started, drove away from the island at a constant speed of 60 nautical miles, and headed for the west continent. After they left, belafar came out of the woods on the island. On the uninhabited island, the Lord of the northern ocean has been watching the far away destiny, watching the wonderful spaceship that will change the fate of many people disappear on the sea level.

On board, zero simply told everyone about his meeting with belafar last night and said, "in short, we should stay in Xizhou mainland for a period of time. The Lord of the northern ocean, whether personal force or his underwater Kingdom, is a force we must strive for. If he stands on our side, the vast sea area will be left to us."

"Of course, we can't rush into Xizhou so rashly. In short, first ask for information, at least we should find out what happened on that continent!"

The western continent is like a star suspended in the endless radiation sea, and the surrounding islands, large and small, defend it like satellites. Because of the existence of islands, the current flow direction of the inland sea of the mainland is also complex, thus forming bays or gorges with their own characteristics. On this satellite belt, or on the outer islands, the environment is even more difficult. They are a barren land despised by the papal hall, and even pirates do not want to visit these outer islands. After all, the oil and water obtained from robbing them is not enough for the cost of sailing, so no one is willing to do it. In this way, although the residents of these outer islands live a difficult life, they are not like the inner islands. They have to be wary of the haunting pirates.

Among the many outer islands facing the East, there is an island called "yellow sand island". The area of the island is not small. The shape of the island is shuttle shaped, and the north and south ends are about 100 kilometers long. But the area of the island is not small, but the place where people can live can barely live only at the north and south ends of the island, that is, the two shuttle tips. There is no reason for it, because the central part of the island is a desert. There is no grass there. Only dangerous mutant sand lizards and fire ants can survive there.

The residents of Huangsha Island basically live on the coast at both ends of the island. Naturally, this place can not be called comfortable. Originally, the island was on the periphery of the island satellite belt, and they lived by the sea. On weekdays, when there is a storm, the sea water will pour into the edge of the island, which is undoubtedly a terrible flood disaster for the residents.

In order to survive, the people on the island had to build their houses on tall and solid coconut trees, forming the unique tree house style of Huangsha island. Like people on other islands, the residents of the island basically live on fishing. However, people on the inner island can sell these mutants in the sea to businessmen in exchange for food, but people on the outer island use these mutants as food.

However, polluted by the sea of radiation, the aquatic organisms here are basically full of deadly radiation. But even so, in the case of lack of food, the residents of the island would rather be poisoned than starved. After years of exploring food, many people died, but they found that some parts of some aquatic organisms do not contain radiation or contain very little. This part of the meat became extremely precious food, and they barely survived the people on the island.

Near the Huangsha Island, there is a kind of aquatic organism with a large number. The residents of the island call them electric snakes. The electric snake is actually a new species evolved from the electric eel in the old era. The electric eel is a creature living in fresh water, and the electric snake is the product of more than ten generations of evolution based on their genes. Electric snakes can survive in the sea. Their bodies have evolved into flat shapes to adapt to the water pressure in the sea. The degenerated dorsal and caudal fins of the electric eel have evolved again, and an electric storage organ has evolved in the body.

On weekdays, electric snakes can store the bioenergy generated by swimming in that special organ. When catching prey or in danger, the electric storage organ can convert the bioenergy stored on weekdays into high-voltage electricity and release it at one time. Adult electric snakes can release electricity with an instantaneous output of thousands of volts, enough to electrocute people. Therefore, the electric snake is a dangerous creature near the Huangsha island. However, electric snakes have a muscle band under their abdomen, which has very little radiation and can be eaten. Compared with several other edible creatures, electric snakes have the largest amount of meat. Coupled with their large number, they have become the main food for the residents of the island. Of course, there are risks in catching them. Many residents die under the high voltage of electric snakes every year.

Gradually, the number of men on the island began to decrease, and women had to go to sea to work. It can be predicted that if this condition is not improved, there will be no human existence on the Huangsha island in less than ten years.

But now, there are still two or three hundred people living at both ends of the island, of which only more than 70 are adult men, and the rest are basically the elderly, women and children. Under increasingly difficult conditions, not only women have to start going to sea, but even older children are no exception.

Jora has just turned 13 this year. In the new era, such an age already means adulthood. So at the beginning of this year, he followed his father Kedar to the sea. Kedar is a famous electric snake killer on the island. His superb hunting skills can always bring enough food for the residents. But in a sea operation last year, when catching electric snakes, he was suddenly attacked by a mutant shark. Later, he was lucky to get his life back, but lost an arm.

So now Kedar's wish is to teach his skills to his son Jora so that he can go to sea instead of himself. Kedar began training his son before Jora became an adult. Facts have proved that Jora is also very talented in this regard. After going to sea with his father this year, after several times of practice, he has basically mastered the trick of catching electric snakes.

Now, father and son are at sea. Kedar is basically helping Jora, while the capture operation is completed by his son alone. The hardships of the sea and life have given this 13-year-old a man's spirit and responsibility. For more than half a year, Jora has grown tall and strong, strong, and even those changed organizations look a little thicker than others.

It was a calm day. Kedar and his son pushed the boat into the sea. They used a sloop. There was a fish cabin on the boat, which could hold hundreds of electric snakes. Every time we return, the fish cabin is always full of electric snakes. Jora believes that today is no exception.

The sailboat carried the father and son to the normal operation area. Jora began to put on special work clothes and prepare for fishing. Electric snakes sleep during the day and move at night. Compared with the day, they are more active and dangerous at night. Like now, these guys sleep lazily in the sea. They are social creatures, and they are closely intertwined in both sleep and activity. It's a lot easier for hunters.

Jora took out some coconuts from the boat. In fact, these things were just the shell of coconuts. When the coconut is ripe, the Jora family will use a sharp tool to make a hole in one end of the fruit. The coconut inside can be poured out for eating, and the pulp can be dug out with tools. Coconut is also one of the important foods on the island, but you can't eat too much fruit, otherwise it will cause dysentery and other diseases. There is a lack of medical equipment and doctors on the island. No matter how insignificant minor diseases can sometimes kill people.

As for the shells, Kedar and Jora will convert them into bombs by local methods. Of course, these bombs are not used to bomb people, but to bomb electric snakes. The amount of explosives is not enough to kill, just to scare the sleeping electric snake and facilitate fishing. At this moment, Jora tied several coconut bombs into a string and threw them into the sea. Not long after, the sea immediately blew up several columns of water. The water column is small, but it is enough to wake up the sleeping electric snake. Now the sea is in a mess, and the electric snakes frightened by the coconut explosion are running around. When these guys are frightened, they will subconsciously release electric current. Each time the electric snake discharges, it usually takes 24 hours to release it again, so this period of time has become a safe period to catch them.

At the same time, due to the social nature of electric snakes, their discharge will always affect innocent compatriots. Before long, the electric current released to his compatriots continued to corona the dead electric snake floating out of the sea. Jora immediately threw a net to catch it, but for a moment, the cabin was full of electric snakes. Kedar laughed and said, "it seems that today is also a harvest day."

Jora looked at Kedar and said, "Dad, why don't you tell everyone how to catch electric snakes. In this way, can't everyone's life be easier?"

Jora has mentioned this question more than once, but Kedar avoids it every time. Today, when his son asked this question again, Kedar sighed and said: "Son, I admit that I have selfish intentions and don't want to let everyone know this method, so every time we go to sea, we have to stay away from the island and avoid their sight. However, have you ever thought that if everyone knows this method and catches electric snakes, we will soon eat up all the food. Even if there are so many electric snakes, we can't take them for a while. Don't forget, these guys are not stupid. If this happens, do you think they will continue to stay here and let us kill them foolishly? "

"No, they will migrate, just like several creatures we have captured in the past. In the end, we will soon starve to death without food. I keep this secret to make everyone live longer. Besides, every time we go back, except for our own share, the surplus will be distributed to the people in the village. That's enough." Kedar said.

Jora looks like a big boy, but she is still young. He only knows a little about his father's survival philosophy. However, according to Kedar, he can understand his father's practice. So he nodded and said, "let's go home."

Kedar stood up happily and was ready to turn the rudder and return, but he heard Jora suddenly cry, "Dad, what's that?" Jora was pointing to the east of the sea, where a wave burst out at some time, swam around the sea and hit them in this direction.

Kedar changed his color and hurriedly said, "Damn it, it's a mutant Shark! Come on, we can't stay here anymore. That guy will overturn our boat!"

But Jora took out the harpoon from the cabin and said, "that guy bit off your arm! It came just in time. This time, we not only brought back a boat of electric snakes, but also a mutant shark. We don't know which part of this guy can eat!"
