Chapter 632

"A war to be defeated?" "Maybe, but I don't have the habit of giving up without effort. The choice of Hermes? The inheritor of the will of the planet? Yes, I am both. But before that, I was a human. I'm zero, a man who doesn't want his home destroyed. In order to protect this home where I live with you, even if my opponent is prosius, I will fight to the end of my life. Am I great? No, it's just the instinct of life. Belafar, what about you? Is the instinct of the Lord of the north ocean to yield? "

In the face of zero's censure, the Lord of Beiyang suddenly exudes an awe inspiring power. It was like the calm sea suddenly set off a raging wave, sweeping the whole island, let all life wake up in deep sleep. However, as soon as the power came to an end, Bella Farr's round eyes narrowed into a crack, which was shining. Looking up and down at zero with a sharp eye like a sword, zero can basically feel the sight of the Lord of Beiyang, where there are bursts of pain.

"You're so brave that even Hermes doesn't dare to talk to me in such a tone. What's more, you still blame me?" Bellafar burst into laughter, full of disdain, then turned into rage and said, "what do you know? Human beings, you don't know what you are facing? Proscius is not as simple as you think, no matter how you define it! Besides, even if it chooses the knight, you may not be his opponent. These tough guys can't be defeated if you don't give in. That's bullshit

"So you don't understand humans, bellafar. We may be small, or we may be overpowering ourselves. But we never give up the struggle and resistance for a moment. No matter what we face, giving up is never our first choice. " Facing the eyes of the Lord of Beiyang, he stood up and said, "but I also respect your choice. Belafar, the brave Lord of the north ocean. Goodbye. I hope we will not meet on the battlefield next time. "

"What if?"

Zero said calmly, "I will kill you."

Belafar seemed to hear some funny joke and beat his hands on the ground with laughter. Zero did not stop, turned and walked. In front of him was no longer the powerful life described by Hermes, but the sad soul who chose to surrender. This meeting is really unexpected, but it will not shake his determination. Since bellafar is not willing to help, he will leave for another place tomorrow. But before he had gone far, bellafar suddenly cried behind him, "stop! Arrogant boy, do you think I don't want to fight? Do I like to be slaughtered like a pig or a sheep, but I'm the only one who can't fight prosius and his knights

Zero whirlwind like turn around, loud voice way: "so now add me again how!"

"It's not enough. As I said before, I can't bet on you, or on you now. I need to see if you are qualified to be with me! " Belafar said solemnly: "this era is chaotic, and you and Hermes want it to return to order. Now, go around the gate of the abyss and continue to the west, and you will arrive at the west continent. There is a country where they are in civil strife. Go there and show your strength and turn chaos into order. If you can do it, I'll admit the qualification of your companion! "

Zero head: "remember what you said, bellafar. I will show you my strength and determination

Then, without stopping, he strode away.

Belafar sat back on the ground, looked at the giant lizard behind him and said, "Damn it, it's really unpleasant to make a boy despise him. In fact, I'm not so timid, right, little green? "

The giant lizard opens one eye and looks at the Lord of the northern ocean. He yawns, shrinks his head to the other side and goes on to sleep. Bellafar poked the bonfire with a trident to make it burn more vigorously.

To the next morning, maple is still sleeping, but suddenly feel the ground shaking up regularly. When he opened his eyes, he saw that in the cup he drank last night, the remaining pure water was rippling one by one. Puzzled to drill out of the tent, far away to see a giant beast from the forest. He has dark green scales, a lizard like head and a fusiform crest. The glowing whiskers behind the crowns were fluttering, as if there were blue fluorescence floating from there.

When the giant lizard appeared, not only Feng saw it, but also the soldiers in charge of the guard yelled: "yesterday the sea beast appeared, ready to fight!"

"Wait a minute."

The zero who came out of the tent stopped them and said something to their surprise: "this big guy is here to help us."

Today, bellafar didn't show up, but his "pet" came. The giant lizard helps zero to get the destiny back to the sea. Under zero's command, the soldiers tie the destiny to the big guy with a rope. Then the giant lizard walks ahead and pulls the destiny back to the sea from the beach. When the soldiers put down the heavy anchor to fix the boat, the giant lizard shook off its rope and went into the sea with a long cry. But a moment later, he had already gone away.People on the beach took the raft back to destiny, went to the control room and sat down. Everyone looked at him and said, "we're going to change our course. We're going to bypass the gate of the abyss and continue westward. We're going to the west continent!"

Now that he has promised bellafar, zero will not go back. So destiny started, leaving the island at a constant speed of 60 nautical miles, and headed for the west continent. After they left, bellafar came out of the woods on the island. On the uninhabited island, the Lord of the northern ocean has been watching the distant 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 bellafar last night and said, "in a word, we should stay in the west continent for a while. The Lord of the northern ocean, whether it is personal force or his underwater Kingdom, is a force we must fight for. If he stands on our side, then the vast sea area will be left to us. "

"Of course, we can't rush into the west continent. In a word, we need to ask for information first. At least we need to find out what happened on that continent! "

The west continent is like a star suspended in the endless sea of radiation, while the surrounding islands, large and small, arch it like satellites. Because of the existence of islands, the current direction of the inland sea is complicated, and then the bays or gorges with their own characteristics are formed. On this satellite belt, or on the outlying islands, the environment is even more difficult. They are barren places that the papal hall despises, and even pirates do not want to visit these outer islands. After all, robbing them, the oil and water they get is not enough for the cost of sailing, so no one is willing to do it. In this way, although the residents of the outer island live a hard life, they are not as wary of the mysterious pirates as the inner island.

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 its north and south ends are about 100 kilometers long. But the area of the island is not small, but people can only live in the north and south ends of the island, that is, the two shuttle points. The reason is that the central part of the island is a desert. There is no grass there. Only the dangerous mutants sand lizard and fire ant can survive there.

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

In order to survive, people on the island have to build their houses on tall and strong coconut trees, forming the unique tree house style of Huangsha island. The residents of the island, like the people of other islands, basically depend on fishing for a living. But the people on the inner island can sell these creatures in the sea to merchants in exchange for food, but the people on the outer island use these creatures as food.

However, polluted by the sea of radiation, the aquatic organisms here are basically full of lethal radiation. Even so, in the case of lack of food, the islanders would rather be poisoned than starved. After years of exploring food, many people died, but they found that some parts of some aquatic organisms did not contain radiation, or very little. This part of the meat becomes extremely precious food, they let the people on the island barely survive.

In the vicinity of Huangsha Island, there is a large number of aquatic organisms. The residents of the island call them electric snakes. In fact, electric snake is a new species evolved from electric eel in old times. Electric eel originally lives in fresh water, while electric snake is the product of more than ten generations of evolution based on their genes. Electric snakes can survive in the sea, and their bodies have evolved into flat shapes to adapt to the water pressure in the sea. The degenerated dorsal fin and caudal fin of electric eel have been re evolved, and an electric storage organ has been evolved in the body.

In ordinary days, the electric snake can store the bioenergy generated by swimming in that special organ. When catching prey or meeting danger, the electric storage organ can convert the bioenergy stored in ordinary days into high-voltage electricity and release it at one time. An adult electric snake can release thousands of volts in an instant, enough to electrocute a person. Therefore, near the yellow sand island, the electric snake is a dangerous creature. However, the electric snake has a muscle band under its abdomen, which contains very little radiation and can be eaten. Compared with other edible creatures, electric snake has the most meat. In addition to their large number, they become the main food of the island residents. Of course, catching them is also risky, and many residents die every year under the high voltage of electric snakes.

Gradually, the number of men on the island began to decrease, and women had to go out to sea to do their homework. It can be predicted that if such conditions are not improved, there will be no more human beings in Huangsha island within ten years.

But now, there are two or three hundred people living on both ends of the island, of whom only more than 70 are adult men, and the rest are basically the elderly, women and children. In increasingly difficult conditions, not only women have to start sailing, even older children are no exception.Jorah has just turned 13 this year. In the new era, such an age means adulthood. So starting this year, he went to sea with his father, Kedar. 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 trip last year, when catching an electric snake, he was suddenly attacked by a mutant shark. Later, he was lucky enough to get his life back, but lost an arm.

So now Kedar's wish is to teach his skills to his son Jorah, so that he can go to sea instead of himself. Kedar had been training his son before Jorah was an adult. It turns out that Jorah is also very talented in this aspect. After going out to sea with his father this year, he has basically mastered the trick of catching electric snakes after several times of practice.

Now, father and son are out to sea. Kedar is basically helping Jorah, while the capture is done by his son alone. The hardships of the sea and the hardships of life have given this 13-year-old boy the courage and responsibility of a man. For most of the past six months, Jorah has grown tall and strong, with a strong body. Even those abnormal tissues look a little thicker than others.

On a calm day, the Kadar and his son pushed the boat into the sea again. They used a sloop with a fish tank that could hold hundreds of electric snakes. Every time he sails home, the fish cabin is always full of electric snakes. Jorah believes that today is no exception.

The sailboat took father and son to the normal working area, and Jorah began to put on special working clothes for fishing. Electric snakes are the habit of sleeping in the daytime and moving at night. Compared with the daytime, they are more active and dangerous at night. Now, these guys sleep lazily in the sea. They are a kind of social creatures, whether sleeping or activity are closely intertwined. It's a lot easier for hunters.

Jorah took some coconuts out of the boat. In fact, they were just the shells of coconuts. When the coconuts are ripe, the Jorah family will use sharp tools to make a cut at one end of the fruit. The coconut inside can be poured out for eating, and the flesh 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 humble, minor diseases can sometimes kill people.

As for the shells, Kedar and Jorah will use local methods to convert them into bombs. Of course, these bombs are not used to blow up people, but to blow up electric snakes. And the amount of dynamite is not enough to be lethal, just to scare the sleeping electric snake for fishing. At the moment, Jorah tied up several coconut bombs and threw them into the sea. Soon after, several jets of water exploded at sea. The water column is not big enough to wake the sleeping snake. Now the sea has been in a mess, electric snakes scared by the coconut explosion are running around. When these guys are frightened, they will subconsciously release electric current, and each time the electric snake discharges, it usually takes 24 hours to release again, so this period becomes a safe period to catch them.

At the same time, due to the social nature of electric snakes, when they discharge, they will always affect innocent compatriots. Before long, there was a constant discharge of electric current to his compatriots, and the electric snake that died of corona came out of the sea. Jorah immediately cast a net to catch it, but for a moment, the electric snake in the cabin was already full. Seeing this, Kedar said with a smile: "it seems that today is also a good harvest day."

Jorah looked at Kedar and said, "Dad, why don't you tell us how to catch the electric snake. In this way, people's life will be easier. "

Jorah has mentioned this question more than once, but Kedar has avoided answering it every time. Today, when he heard his son ask this question again, Kedar sighed and said, "son, I admit that I have selfish intentions. I don't want to let everyone know this way, so every time we go to sea, we have to stay away from the island and avoid their sight. But have you ever thought that if everyone knows this method and catches electric snakes, we will eat up the food soon. And even if the number of electric snakes is so large, it will never be exhausted. Don't forget, these guys are not stupid. If that happens, do you think they'll stay here and let us kill them? "

"No, they migrate, just like some of the creatures we've hunted before. In the end, we will soon starve to death without food. I keep this secret in order to make you live longer. What's more, every time we go back, in addition to leaving our own share, the extra is given to the people in the village. That's enough. " That's what Kedar said.

Jorah looks like a big boy, but he is still young after all. He only knows a little about survival philosophy like his father. However, listening to what Kedar said, he can understand his father's practice to some extent. So he nodded and said, "let's go home."

When Kedar stood up happily and was ready to turn the rudder to return, he heard Jorah suddenly call out, "Dad, what do you think that is?" Jorah was pointing to the east of the sea, where, at some unknown time, there was a wave, and after swimming around the sea, it hit them in this direction.

Kedar changed his color and said, "Damn it, it's a mutant Shark! Let's go. We can't stay here any longer. That guy's going to upset our boat! "But Jorah took the harpoon out of the cabin and said, "that's the guy who 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! "
