Body Chapter 845: Mysterious Merchant Ship
The surrounding sea area, there is no wind, this is also the characteristic of the sea area of Fairy Island, the reason why it has been able to isolate from the world, so far no ship has been able to reach this strange island, is completely due to the change of its sea area.
The windless zone is the end of the ship, and if you want to reach this sea, you have to pay with your life.
After Qin Zhao came to the ship, he took a look, although this ship is dilapidated and the materials are relatively old, but the integrity of the preservation is very high, it is really hard to imagine that it has been drifting in the windless area for so long, and it has not sunk to the bottom of the sea, which shows how tenacious the vitality of this bow ship is.
And judging by the design, it should be a merchant ship!
But it has been remodeled, and what I really want to say is more like a pirate ship.
There were weapons on board, as well as cannons.
However, the architectural characteristics are relatively old, which means that the ship, at least in the sea, has spent nearly a century or so.
Qin Zhao was able to meet it, this may be a kind of fate, after all, Qin Zhao has no other way to leave the windless sea now.
This is the last hope!
Qin Zhao will definitely not give up easily.
"Qin Zhao, can we really use this ship to return to Fairy Island?" Margaret said in surprise.
Her expression was serious, and she seemed to be a little worried in her heart, after all, there were reefs everywhere around the windless sea.
If you accidentally bump into it, there is basically no good result.
So far, no outsiders have set foot on Fairy Island, and it completely relies on the misty sea and windless sea area.
These two peculiar realms block all communication and contact.
Countless ships, because of inadvertent disorientation, and passing through these two sea areas, the result is very miserable, either sinking into the sea or floating on the ocean for a lifetime, and finally life slowly ends.
All these people have to do is die.
"I don't know, but I'm sure!"
"We should have a chance!"
Qin Zhao didn't have confidence in his heart, but he still said very seriously.
As long as there is a ship, there is hope.
Qin Zhao then glanced at it and put down the canvas on the boat, although there was no wind, but only this thing could be controlled, and the general direction was particularly important.
This is a dilapidated ship, and there is no new energy on it, Qin Zhao feels that the most tricky thing is that in the process of traveling, the power of this ship comes entirely from manpower, if it is really like this.
That's when things get bad.
After all, Qin Zhao and Margaret only had two people now, and with the strength of the two of them, they couldn't make the boat move half a step.
At this moment, the brows of the two of them were locked at the same time, as if they realized the seriousness of the problem.
If he continues to stay here, there will be no new progress, and Qin Zhao plans to find a new direction.
He had to figure out how to move!
"Margaret, go under the bilge of the ship and see what this ship is sailing on!"
"Good".
Margaret nodded, and then ran down, as for Qin Zhao, his heart was full of doubts now, especially this bow.
The surface material looks ordinary and the individual is not large, but it can survive for so many years in the sea, which shows that a lot of effort should have been put into the structure and design, especially its power.
In windless waters, it should remain stationary.
But on the first day of this steamer, Qin Zhao and Margaret didn't see any trace of it at all.
This guy appeared in the sea in the following days, that is, it can move in windless areas.
And in the absence of a single crew......
Subsequently.
Margaret stepped off the boat, but she suddenly screamed.
"Ahh
When Qin Zhao heard this scream, he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
Then he ran down and came to Margaret's side.
He nervously asked what was going on.
"Margaret, are you alright?"
Qin Zhao was a little flustered.
"It's fine. ”
"I just saw something horrible." Margaret, a warrior but also a woman, grew up on Fairy Island and never saw so many bones.
And they are the remnants of human death, and judging from the bottom of the cabin, these corpses have probably been piled up here for nearly a hundred years.
Some have appeared a lot of spiders.
Incomparably terrifying.
Margaret then breathed a sigh of relief.
The guts get bigger.
Bone?
When Qin Zhao saw this scene, the only thing he could think of was that these guys should be the crew of this ship.
However, from the bottom of the cabin, it appears that there was a fight, and most of the crew died in the fight, some of whom were stabbed in the chest with sharp weapons by their companions.
Some were knocked to the ground.
There are also some relatively well-preserved corpses.
"Qin Zhao, what's going on here?" Margaret asked in surprise with doubts in her heart.
Judging by the traces of the scene, there must have been a fight here.
"Someone's fighting here!"
"Their purpose is to compete for treasure. ”
Qin Zhao leaned forward and walked a few steps forward, came to the back of the warehouse, and suddenly saw a person sitting around the treasure, looking very peaceful.
This man is probably dead for a hundred years, and now there is only a pile of skeletons left.
"Qin Zhao, this person?"
Margaret walked over and asked.
"I'm afraid that in this fight, this man won the final victory and had all the interviews, but unfortunately he didn't expect it. ”
This area is windless.
In the end, he died in despair.
Qin Zhao couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this scene. As the saying goes, good people die for money, and birds die for food, and this guy in front of him shows this meaning very well.
He could have had endless wealth.
But he still can't escape the tricks of fate.
It's a little sad to think about it, no matter how much wealth you have, you don't have a life to spend.
What's the value of that?
"Hmph, thank you brother, you have guarded me for so many years. ”
"I have taken your inheritance." I've seen someone with thick skin, but I've never seen someone as thick-skinned as Qin Zhao.
He looked at the pile of treasures and a thought rose in his heart.
Be sure to take them all with you.
Qin Zhao came here for the sake of wealth, and the employer of this task has now been confirmed to be dead, Qin Zhao only got a deposit, and all the others have not been received.
He felt a little at a loss, after all, it was very dangerous here, and people could be killed everywhere.
You can't come empty-handed, you have to bring back some loot, since you found it by accident, then take it with you.
"Margaret, those who see it have a share. ”
"As long as you're willing to help, I'm absolutely indispensable. Qin Zhao said with a smile, planning to use wealth to get Margaret to cooperate with him, but this man seemed to be thinking too much, because the woman in front of him didn't seem to be interested in wealth.
She doesn't care about treasure, she only cares about power and life.
"I don't need any of these things, I can give them all, but I'm going to get back to Fairy Island alive. ”
Margaret said solemnly.
I thought that Margaret would share it with herself, but I didn't expect this woman to treat money like dung.
Hehe!
Qin Zhao's heart blossomed at this moment, he felt a little surprised, after all, the women outside can be said to be unyielding to money, how many people have paid the price of their lives for money.
Including Qin Zhao, he has been fighting for interests during this time.
He smiled helplessly, even he could hardly escape the seven emotions and six desires.
But in the eyes of Margaret, a woman, there was no desire for possessions or possessiveness.
She really doesn't care!
It seems that Fairy Island is a very harmonious town.
There is no contact with the outside world, and there is no familiar atmosphere.
"Okay!"
"I promise you that you will return to the city safely. ”
"Hmm. ”
Margaret nodded, for some reason she seemed to trust the man in front of her, and there was a certain sense of security in staying with him.
Subsequently, Qin Zhao once again conducted a careful inspection of the entire ship, and found that the ship's way of action was very special, and it did not move by manpower.
In the bottom position of the boat there is something similar to an engine.
Although the design is relatively simple, and even a prototype of today's high-tech engine, it has been preserved intact and unharmed.
And there's a lot of oil on top of this device......
Qin took a look at it, and was quite surprised in his heart, after all, it was a miracle that the things of the last century could be preserved to this day.
I didn't expect it to be usable.
Seeing this, a fire rose in Qin Zhao's heart, at least in his opinion, there was absolutely hope for survival.
As long as they can find energy, he and Margaret can return to Fairy Island safely.
This is a good sign.
Margaret also walked over at this moment, and felt a little surprised when she saw Qin Zhao's excited expression.
"Qin Zhao, can we really go back?"
"Of course you can, but now we have to find energy. ”
Qin Zhao said seriously, and then he searched in the warehouse, and after nearly half an hour, he finally found the energy source on the mezzanine floor of the warehouse.
It was left over from the past, although not a lot, but it was enough to reach Fairy Island.
Qin Zhao was very excited.
After all, he can finally go back.
"Set sail!"
Qin Zhao shouted loudly.
"Good. ”
The ship was originally a merchant ship, but it has since been modified to look like a pirate ship.
Qin Zhao thought about it in his heart, and came to a very simple conclusion, this merchant ship should have been hijacked by pirates.
As for the wealth on the ship, it should have been robbed by the pirates during their lifetime and left behind, but none of these pirates escaped the tricks of fate in the end.
Some of them were selfish and wanted to take all the treasure, and finally the battle just now took place.
Resulting in the death of all crew members.
What's even more tragic is that the only one who survived also died in despair!
