Jorah put his foot on the side of the boat, his hand on the harpoon. His eyes were fixed on the wave of death that hit the ship, and he slowly raised the harpoon as if preparing to throw it. Seeing his son's actions, Kedar's face changed, and he shouted: "Don't do anything stupid! Son, we still have time, we have time to go back before this devil catches up. So, don't provoke it!"
"Don't worry, Dad. If I remember correctly, there is only this mutant shark wandering around this sea area. In other words, it took your arm. Today, I want to ask it back !" Jorah gave Darker a bright smile, then roared and threw the harpoon with all his might. Every qualified fisherman must first learn how to throw a harpoon, which is the most basic fishing skill. If you can't even do this, there is no need to say anything about going to sea.
Before officially going out to sea, Jorah would practice how to throw the harpoon every day, repeating this action hundreds of times almost every day. He didn't officially become a fisherman until he could plunge a harpoon into a rock at a distance of 100 meters. This is related to the yardstick and strength, and the two factors that cannot be ignored will be the conditions that determine whether a throw can be successful.
After Jorah finished speaking, he threw his arm, and the harpoon was thrown upwards slightly, and then fell down in an arc. The speed plus the weight of the harpoon itself will cause a very heavy blow to the prey. However, that is relative to ordinary fish. However, an adult mutated shark is at least three meters long. This is a big guy, and it has almost caught up with the length of the wind-powered boat of Jorah's family.
The harpoon plunged into the water accurately and stabbed the mutant shark's back. All of a sudden, the waves surged, but the shark swayed wildly in the water in pain, and soon, there was a piece of blood floating on the surface of the sea. However, the mutant shark was not killed because of this, Jorah's attack instead aroused its ferocity, the flat fins on both sides of its body flapped, and the mutant shark immediately broke through the water like a gun. In terms of single speed, it is about 20% faster than Zhu just now.
Jorah finally changed color, and immediately picked up another harpoon from under his feet and threw it with his arms. This time he took a direct shot, and the harpoon shot straight out like a sharp arrow, and plunged into the shark's big head almost touching the water. After taking this hard blow, the mutant shark stopped immediately, and slowly sank into the water, bursting out a series of blood bubbles. Jorah was relieved to see the shark sinking into the sea.
Kedar's face was serious, and the sailboat had no intention of stopping. Jorah turned around, and happily said to his father: "Look, Dad, I killed..." At the end of the sentence, Kedar suddenly shouted: "Jorah, lie down!"
Jorah froze, and then found a huge shadow covering him. There was a strong aura coming from behind, and in an instant, the surroundings were filled with a strong smell of blood. He didn't have time to think about anything, his head was blank, and he just threw himself on the deck immediately as his father said. Just as the body lay down, there was a whistling wind behind him. Jorah turned to look, his pupils constricted, and the injured mutant shark just jumped over the boat.
If he hadn't got down immediately just now, he would have been bitten by the shark!
Missing a single hit, the Mutant Shark fell back into the sea, immediately bringing up turbulent waves, hitting the boat and shaking it. Jorah looked at the water again, and the shark was gone again. But he didn't see that this Mutant Shark turned around in the sea, but slanted upwards, and ruthlessly plunged into the bottom of the boat with the sharp horns in front of its head! As soon as it hit, the horn was sharp and long, and immediately opened a hole in the boat. The shark swung its head and widened the gap with all its strength, and the sea water poured into the cabin like this.
The sailboat shook violently, not to mention Jorah, even Kedar was too shaken to steer. The shark aroused its viciousness, and hit the bottom of the boat repeatedly, knocking the boat out of several gaps in a few hits. The wind-powered boat sank into the sea at a speed visible to the naked eye. Seeing that the sea water had already started to emerge from the cabin, Kedar sighed and said, "Listen, Chora, there is a life saver at the stern of the boat. It's not far from the beach, you It should be able to row back!"
"What about you, Dad!" Jorah yelled.
Kedar picked up the last harpoon from the boat with one hand, and said with a smile, "If I don't hold this guy, he won't let you go. Besides, the life raft can only accommodate one person. Jorah, You must cherish your own life in the future, you are the only man left in our family!"
Jorah's eyes watered, and he clenched his fists. He knew that because of his recklessness, his father was going to be buried here now.
The boat shook again, and Kedar yelled: "Go, or the life raft will be pierced by it, and we will all be finished!"
"I'm sorry, Dad!"
Jorah yelled, gritted his teeth, and ran to the stern. At this moment, the mutant shark suddenly jumped out of the sea, opened its bloody mouth and bit Jorah!
"Son!" This change caught Kedar's attention, and by the time he realized it, it was too late to save Jorah. At this moment, the left half of the mutant shark's head was hit by something suddenly, and the small half of its head and bones turned into blood powder and flew backwards under the strong impact. The mutant shark was knocked sideways by the impact and fell to Jorah's feet. The big mouth was still biting non-stop, but gradually the movement stopped. At this moment, a muffled gunshot sounded from a very far away.
The sea area became quiet again, Kedar and Jorah were both stunned there. It wasn't until the sea water was almost at their feet that Kedar came back to his senses. He hurriedly ran to the stern to lower the life raft, and then pulled Jolla to jump on it together. The life raft can only accommodate one person, but two people can barely accommodate them standing up. It's just that the shocking water line gave Kedar a headache, and it was impossible to row back to the village in this state. Before, it was because of the determination to die, but now that the mutant shark is dead, naturally no one wants to die for no reason.
"Father, look over there!" Jorah suddenly pointed to the sea to the east, where several small boats could be vaguely seen. When they got closer, Kedar also saw clearly that they were three rubber rafts.
Twenty minutes later, three rubber rafts came near Kedar and the others. On the first raft, a man with black hair and yellow skin was holding an alloy heavy sniper that could be called a murder weapon. The simple lines and rough gun body all show the aesthetics of violence. Jorah opened his mouth wide when he saw it, knowing that this thing had saved his life just now.
Think about this heavy sniper blow that removed half of the mutant shark's big head. If it hits a person, it won't be smashed to pieces? Looking at this strange man and his companions, none of them seemed to be from the West Continent. At this time, the young man with dark hair said, "It looks like you need help?"
On the east coast of the island of yellow sand, the residents of the fishing village ran to the shore, watching three rubber rafts carrying Kedar and his son, and dragging their sailboat with a severely damaged draft. When the Kedar family's sloop was effortlessly dragged onto the beach with one hand by a beautiful woman with obvious oriental blood, everyone's jaws dropped to the ground at the speed of light.
Even Kedar, who had already seen this incredible group of human beings, was stunned at the woman with both strength and beauty.
It was the first time that Su was looked at like this by others, and he suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. After Zero decided to set off for the Xizhou Continent, the Destiny bypassed the maelstrom and finally reached the edge of the island satellite belt of the Xizhou Continent. Zero didn't want to just rashly enter the eyes of the people in the West Continent, and decided to learn about the situation on other islands first. So he parked the Destiny on the edge of an uninhabited desert island, and took Liya, Su, Haiwei, Yeliu and Kaidun on three rubber rafts to find those inhabited islands. He didn't want to but happened to save the Kedar family, so he took them to the island of yellow sand so logically.
Kedar and Qiaola were busy distributing part of the electric snakes to the villagers first, and kept a small part for themselves before inviting a few people to sit at home. Jorah was full of curiosity about these strange strangers, especially werewolves like Kaiton. But in order not to cause unnecessary trouble to them, Zero decided to take Liya to visit the Kedar family and inquire about the news. It seems that the residents of this island are not rich, so if everyone wants to follow, I am afraid that it will cause trouble to others.
Su was happy not to join in the excitement, but Haiwei was more interested in other places in Huangsha Island, so she took Yeliu along and prepared to embark on a journey of exploration. As for Kaiton, the Wolf King, who hadn't kept his feet on the ground for many days, had already picked a shady place to sleep.
When he followed the Kedar father and son to their tree house, Zero thought of their house of the Tutu family. It’s just that they are tree houses, obviously, these houses in the village are much simpler. After throwing the electric snake into a storage pond under the tree house, Kedar's wife had already picked out one that had been killed and scaled, and used a pair of sharp scissors to accurately remove the edible part of the electric snake. As for the other parts, naturally they cannot be wasted. Although they cannot be eaten, the scales of the electric snake are thick and dense, and can be mixed with shells and other things to make a special fuel. It is not strong enough to burn things, but it can be used in winter. Use it for warmth.
As for other parts that contain radiation, the eyeballs can be made into bait for fishing after drying, and the skeleton can be used to make some commonly used small tools, such as needles and bone knives. As for the snake meat part, it is the least useful, generally it can only be buried in the soil and used as fertilizer for coconut trees. Mutated coconut trees can absorb radiation-containing substances, but the fruits they produce are practical. Under the cruel environment of the new era, it seems that everything has quietly developed a circulatory system adapted to this era.
When Zero and Lia sat in Kedar's house on a towering coconut tree, his wife had made fresh sashimi from the edible part of the electric snake and sent it up. The sashimi is only added with simple sea salt. Due to the lack of seasoning, the taste is relatively simple, but it is already the most luxurious food on the island. If it is not for entertaining distinguished guests, no one will eat electric snake meat in such a "wasteful" way.
People in the village usually mince and grind this edible meat, then stir together the same ground coconut pulp, and finally bake it over a fire to form a kind of fruit cake. This kind of thing is the daily food of the villagers. Usually, the meat of an electric snake can be made into more than a dozen pieces of fruit cake, which is enough for an adult to eat for several days, instead of being made into sashimi like now, with only a few bites Just eat it clean.
"Please try our sashimi, two guests, they are delicious." Kedar pushed the sashimi to Zero Two with one hand and said.
Jorah sat on the side, watching Sashimi swallowing his saliva desperately, but he didn't dare to reach out for even a piece. Zero sees it in his eyes and knows that their life is not easy. But it was hard to turn down the kindness of others, so he just tasted a piece. Leah was afraid of the smell, so she politely refused. After eating snacks, I felt that the meat was really good, it almost melted in my mouth. And the only bit of fishy smell is also covered by the taste of sea salt. The salty taste of sea salt not only does not take away the taste of sashimi itself, but emphasizes its deliciousness, which is indeed a rare delicacy.
"Food can't be enjoyed by yourself, you guys should have some too?" Ling pushed the sashimi forward and smiled.
Kedar was also polite, and greeted his son and wife to enjoy this rare meal together. Putting a piece of sashimi into his mouth, Kedar asked as he ate it: "It looks like a few of you don't look like people from our continent. You don't come from other continents, do you?"
"Exactly. To tell you the truth, we are adventurous businessmen who came from the Middle Continent. Let's see if we can develop our business to the Western Continent, but I don't know the situation here. I don't know if Mr. Kedar can give Let's talk about the situation on the Western Continent." Zero said in a flat tone.
Kedar didn't seem to doubt his identity, but was amazed that they were able to cross the ocean between the two continents. He was curious about how Zero and the others came here, but Kedar also knew that Zero would not say anything, so he said: "If you are doing business with ordinary commodities, such as minerals or medicines, then it is best to go to New Rome, the Pope The Vatican will be willing to buy these things. If it is a weapon, it is naturally best to find the rebels, they need these guys the most, and they can afford the price. But the risk is very high, and they may be wanted by the Vatican."
"Father!" Jorah said urgently, you must know that talking about the Pope's hall and the rebel army is a taboo.
Kedar waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, we are on the outer island, and those elders in the Pope's Hall don't care whether we live or die. But Mr. Zero saved our lives, so of course we have to tell him the truth."
Zero heard it in his ears, just from the two words of the Pope's Hall and the rebel army, he knew that, as Belafal said, the Western Continent was in a period of chaos. He said sternly, "Mr. Kedar, please explain in more detail."
So Kedar reported the situation of the Western Continent in recent years, including that after the Pope's Hall was controlled by Sauron, the city of New Rome had abandoned its original intention when it was established. It also includes appreciation for the rebel army and the helplessness of those pirates who plundered too much. Zero listened quietly, only chiming in on key issues. It's just that Kedar is a fisherman from an outer island after all. Although he is a resident of the Western Continent, he doesn't know much about some inside stories. However, through his description, Zero has a general understanding of the Western Continent for the time being.
After nightfall, Zero and Leah got up to say goodbye. Although Kedar kept the two of them to stay at home overnight, Ling left on the grounds of "inconvenience to disturb". He didn't go back to the Destiny, but came to the beach. Suji people had already set up their marching tents, and Haiwei and Yeliu were lighting a fire, so Ling asked everyone to sit down by the fire, and relayed the news they had inquired about today.
"The Pope's Hall and the rebels sound like they are at war. Head, since the uncle said that the Pope's Hall is exploiting people on the mainland, then let's blow up the city of New Rome." Haiwei excitedly Said, since the last time Asmo was blasted by a cannon, this violent little beauty has never forgotten the particle cannon, always thinking about where to fire another cannon.
Regarding Hai Wei's statement, Su was a little disapproving: "If you consider efficiency, I think it will be faster to help the Pope's hall defeat the rebels. After all, the Lord of Beiyang wants us to turn the Western Continent from chaos to chaos." Order, but he didn't specify which one to ask us to help."
"How can this be!" Hai Wei stood up and said, "Then we have become accomplices?"
Su shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I'm just analyzing the actual situation. As for the final decision, it depends on what the boss wants."
So Haiwei looked at Zero with sparkling eyes, and Zero nodded: "I agree with Su's statement. After all, the Western Continent is the home court of Rome City and the Pope's Hall. They have incomparable advantages. Looking at the past so many years, the rebellious The army can't even stand on the main island of the mainland, so they know that although they are superficially majestic, they are actually a weak side. They only use certain advantages and pirate power to distract the attention of the Pope Hall. It is certain that, The Pope's Hall must have the power to disintegrate them. The reason why they didn't do that should be because they couldn't find the right time and the price they paid was too heavy."
"But if it continues like this, the Pope's Hall will definitely win the final victory."
"Don't tell me you're going to help the bad guys!" Haiwei's fiery temper immediately made her jump up.
"We are outsiders. If we want to end the chaos in the Western Continent as soon as possible, it will be too late to re-establish our influence. And it is unrealistic to transfer troops from our own territory, so the easiest way is to join forces in the Western Continent. According to Bellafar, even if we sided with Sauron to defeat the rebels, as long as we restore order on the mainland, it would be equivalent to showing him our capabilities, so choosing the Pope's Hall is also a good decision."
Zero glanced at Hai Wei lightly, the latter's face was already flushed. Liya smiled and said, "Okay, don't tease her. Hai Wei is a straight person, if you say that again, she will be straight."
Hearing what Liya said, Haiwei was slightly surprised, and said, "Don't you think so?"
"I think so, but I won't do it. The reason is very simple, because Sauron is unpopular. Even if we help him end this dispute as soon as possible, if the people don't like it, there will be a second and third rebellion soon. Moreover, Mr. Kedar said that this person is basically a tyrant, and he is very conceited. If the power we show is too small, he will look down on him. If it is too big, he will be hated. If it is mediocre, basically Dispensable. Therefore, the Pope’s Hall will not consider it.”
"Let's go and see the size of the rebel army, I hope they won't let me down!" Zero said lightly.
