Chapter 522: When I Return, Things Are Not People
"Because you're looking forward to it more this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zheng Fei smiled lightly, and slowly paced around the deck, approaching the Americas, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep.
The melodious sound of the waves, like a beautiful piano music at this moment, is playing quietly, lingering in the dreamland of people.
The next morning, the New World was within reach.
"What a high mountain, such a vast plain!"
The early risers rubbed their sleepy eyes and yawned at the bow of the boat, the sight of which immediately made their remaining tiredness disappear, and their eyes widened in astonishment, staring at the land across the ocean.
Zheng flew earlier than anyone else, but no one could find him on the deck, because he had already taken a hot air balloon at dawn and ran high into the sky.
It's not about playing and looking at the scenery, he has something to do.
After continuous correction and improvement, although the sextant is already very accurate, it still cannot meet the needs of accurate positioning.
Through it, Zheng Fei can only find a general direction to guide the fleet forward, but in order to find the beach where he landed on his last visit to the Americas, he must use a high-altitude hot air balloon to observe.
Along the coastline, this immensely large fleet of ships lined up and cleaved the waves.
High in the air, Zheng Fei stood on the edge of the hanging basket, feeling the cold wind whistling past his ears.
He picked up the binoculars and looked closely at the distant ground through the lens, looking for the shore in his memory.
Couldn't he find any other landing place but that coast? Of course not, his purpose was to find the last group of people who had been in the Americas, and a year was almost fleeting, and I don't know what happened to them.
"Wow, it's spectacular. ”
Next to him, Santiago muttered, his arms lying on the edge of the basket and looking down, his eyes full of amazement.
Just imagine, how can a long queue of more than 2,000 boats not be spectacular?
"Santiago, we're back. Zheng Fei smiled with relief, raised his head and let out a long breath, his heart was really happy.
"Ah, who knows where you're going to take us next for thrills. Santiago muttered.
"Looking for excitement?" Zheng Fei's eyes flashed with surprise.
"That's right, since I followed you, I've been doing something every once in a while, and I've almost killed myself a few times. ”
"Haha, do you remember that time at the top of the snowy mountain?"
"I'll never forget it, it was probably the hardest situation I've ever faced, a huge lump of snow falling from the sky crushed me to death, and the devil knows how I got out!" said Santiago, his eyebrows fluttering.
Zheng Fei, on the other hand, was silent, staring at the telescope in his hand in a daze.
For a long time, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and his pupils flashed with a light that symbolized contentment.
"Thank you, Santiago. He patted Santiago on the shoulder.
For his gratitude, Santiago just smacked his lips and didn't reply anything, and went to enjoy the scenery of the Americas on his own.
Santiago doesn't like to put his emotions into words, or rather, he doesn't.
Santiago may not be called a confidant, and his ability is not outstanding, but he is definitely Zheng Fei's best friend and irreplaceable.
Sometimes, he is as simple as a child, and his heart is pure.
At times, he was as brave and fearless as a warrior.
When he encountered an avalanche and saw that his best friend was about to be hit by the snow, he rushed up and pushed Zheng Fei away without thinking about it, and he was buried under the snow instead of bearing all this, and he struggled to survive with his tenacious vitality.
With this alone, Zheng Fei can selflessly share everything he has with him.
Uh, except for women.
......
Finally I found that coast, and in the sun, its shape was so familiar, so kind.
Zheng Fei chose an iron ring to buckle and slide down on the cable of the hot air balloon, and notified the people below to pull them down.
Once back on deck, turn around and hoist the sails and head at full speed towards the target location.
In the afternoon, they landed.
This coast was originally a natural harbor, and what is even more remarkable is that it was actually built into a wharf, a huge wharf that can hold thousands of ships, and it seems that it was the work of the people who left behind it.
There was no cargo, no boats, not even people on the docks, only the occasional fluttering of leaves in the air that still gave a sense of life, and it looked very depressed.
Since this pier has been built, why not use it?
With doubts, Zheng Fei gradually walked along the previous route towards the dense jungle.
After a long walk through the jungle, I finally arrived at my former habitat, and everything was the same as usual, except that there were dozens of more houses.
"We're back!"
Standing on the top of the hillside, the old sailors who had been to the Americas last time shouted excitedly, and the shouts were uneven, but they did not affect the enthusiasm of the people in the slightest.
Gradually, they shouted tired.
However, the habitat below the mountain did not even respond with a single word.
People muttered, Zheng Fei couldn't help but get nervous, twisted his brows and took out the binoculars to look there, and sure enough, there was no one to see.
Is something really wrong?
He still remembers that rainy night in the Americas, the Indian tribes took advantage of the night to sneak up on the habitat, and at that time, due to the heavy rain, the gunpowder was ineffective, so they could only use cold weapons to fight against the brave and warlike natives.
If it weren't for the primitive people who came out and easily killed the other party's patriarch, I really don't know what the outcome would be.
Could it be that those who remained were also attacked by the tribe?
If that's the case, it's over...
Without hesitating for a moment, Zheng Fei hurriedly rushed down the mountain with a large army, came to the intact wooden houses, and looked around.
Stoves, pots, production tools, and even air-dried meat and fish are all quietly arranged, and everything looks so harmonious that it doesn't look like it has been attacked.
But why is there a dead silence... Even if you go out hunting and mining collectively, you should be able to smell a little bit of life, right?
Zheng Fei couldn't help but sweat, and walked slowly on the grass with his stumbling steps, hoping to see someone, even one!
He saw the cottage where he had lived with Britney, and the delicate swing in front of it was parked alone, and it looked like no one had been sitting on it for a long time.
The iron ore mines on the other side of the river are also empty, but there is a bald eagle hovering in the sky, letting out a mournful wail, long and tactful.
Damn natives!
In an instant, endless anger flashed in Zheng Fei's pupils, and he held the hilt of the King's Sword tightly, trembling lightly with anger.
In the silence, no one dared to speak, no one dared to speculate, they were afraid to accept the facts.
While everyone was silent, a childish voice came from the nearby hut.
"Captain?"
