The sun was surprisingly soft this morning, and the hot season was almost over.

After running 10,000 meters, he came to the sea cliff, listened to the sound of the waves, looked at the calm sea level in the distance, and licked his chapped lips.

It's time to go, like a voice is calling.

I've been on the island for more than two months, and to be honest, I'm really reluctant to leave.

However, he will not stay, even if it is a paradise of abundance, and people from all over the world will fly in every year in the twenty-first century.

But the resort will always be the resort, and what he longs for is a life full of excitement and challenges.

It's like Fast & Furious 7: Brian misses not drag racing, not speed, but the bullets that pass by.

Stimulating, addictive.

At some point, the simple-looking Santiago appeared behind him, holding two glasses of juice with ice cubes in his hand, and said with a smile: "Hey, drink some, there is no such good thing at sea." ”

He took it with a smile, drank half a cup in one go, and said, "Listen to what you mean, don't want to leave?"

"Of course not, I still have to make money with you, haha!"

After a short silence, he said, "Actually, I can give you a large sum of money right now, enough for you to become the richest man in the entire city of Atlanta, buy the Atlanta docks, buy a castle estate, and marry Vesie to live a good life." ”

This sentence made Santiago's eyes light up suddenly, but he quickly returned to normal, holding the juice melted by ice cubes in his hand, hesitating.

Zheng Fei glanced at him sideways, smiled, drank the juice, faced the vast and boundless sea, took down the cup, shouted heartily, and threw it out.

The cup made a graceful curve in the air, falling into the sea, and a fluttering sound could be vaguely heard.

With this plop, Santiago came up with an answer, he leaned his neck and drank the juice, ignoring the few drops that overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and followed Zheng Fei's example, showing off his strong arm strength with satisfaction.

Then, he thumped his chest triumphantly and laughed profusely.

After laughing, he turned his head to look at Zheng Fei, cleared his throat, and said jokingly and seriously: "I won't go back, if I leave, who will save you in an avalanche in the future? Who will help you fight?"

Zheng Fei looked at him honestly, as if he was reminiscing, and said, "Do you remember how we met in the first place?"

"Haha, of course, you guy fooled me and said that he could take me to make a lot of money, and I got on your thief ship as soon as my head was hot, and I couldn't get off again!"

"So, now that you've made a lot of money, why do you choose to follow me?"

Santiago shrugged and said, "I can't think of any reason for all that bells and whistles, and I can't say those sensational words, I'll just say one." ”

He paused, looked at Zheng Fei, and said very seriously: "Unless you don't need me one day, I will always be your helper, don't ask me why, I don't know." ”

"Is this friendship?" Zheng Fei said movingly, the simple quotation said by this simple stupid big man, but it made people feel warm in their hearts.

"Sentiment. Santiago stuck out his tongue and winked.

"I'm sorry, I have someone in my heart. ”

After a sumptuous lunch, Zheng Fei was ready to go on his way.

Most of the people were willing to stay, and the last to go to the Americas was about 800 people, four merchant ships and five warships, with a few hot air balloons for sighting.

Anchor and sail up, the hull of the ship slowly sails away from the shore.

Some of the people left behind were on the beach, and some were riding on the trees by the sea cliffs, watching quietly.

He stood at the stern of the boat, looking at this group of lovely people who had been together for two months, and the corners of his mouth raised a happy arc with the breeze.

"Goodbye, Captain!" beckoned one after another from the shore.

"What are you talking about?!" he put his hand to his ear as he gestured.

"Goodbye, Captain!"

Thousands of people shouted in unison, as if singing a hymn, so that the unknown migratory birds on the beach muttered while abandoning the fish, shrimp and crabs that were about to reach their mouths, and fluttered their wings and flew into the air.

"Goodbye!

After shouting, he immediately turned around and got into the cabin.

In this way, it will not be like some sailors, who weep because they are reluctant to do so.

Lying on the bed, I don't know how long it took for those mixed farewells to fade away and calm down in the waves.

He stepped onto the deck.

The hot air balloon is tied to the watchtower with a rope and released to a height of several hundred meters, effectively expanding the field of vision.

Looking up at the hot air balloons that seemed to be among the clouds, and looking down at the listless sailors, I suddenly had an idea and thought of a fun entertainment.

He beckoned a few sailors to slowly tear down the hot air balloon, tie it, and then let the volunteer Hans lie in the hanging basket, as soon as the chain was withdrawn, the hot air balloon was like a beast that had been suppressed for a long time and finally broke free, in Hans's high-pitched exclamation, it quickly rose into the air, snapped, fortunately the rope was strong.

", I can play"

The sailors stared straight at the sky, rubbing their hands together and eagerly trying to try.

Zheng Fei raised his eyebrows and instructed: "Let's play, remember to change the rope once after a few trips, if the rope is broken and flies, I don't have the ability to save it!"

After that, he moved a chair and sat on the deck, lay down comfortably, put on glasses covered with a layer of translucent black paper, and rested.

It can be used as sunglasses, but it's a little uglier and a little lower

A month, flies by.

Thanks to the sextant, Zheng Fei can accurately judge the current position, and even know how many nautical miles to sail west to reach where, a month's voyage, the fleet came to the coast of North America, and in a few more hours, it can reach the famous New York area.

A little further west from New York is the Great Lakes industrial region of the United States, which, of course, was a wasteland in the Middle Ages and was inhabited by indigenous people.

The Appalachian Mountains are rich in coal mines, the Appalachian Mountains are an ancient folded mountain range, after a long period of erosion, the terrain is low, and the rich coal deposits here are directly exposed to the surface due to surface erosion, and some coal seams are directly exposed to the surface, which is very convenient for mining.

The western part of the Great Lakes (Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario) contains a large amount of iron ore, which, along with coal mines, is very conducive to the development of steel manufacturing.

If it is used properly, it is very likely to become an arms production base, and then build some shipyards along the coast of New York to create a huge maritime hegemon, not a dream!

Thinking of this, Zheng Fei was full of energy, did more than a hundred push-ups, and then stood at the bow of the boat, happily watching the green continent in the distance, gradually approaching.

[The three watches that I said today, there will be one more after 12 o'clock~] (To be continued.) )
