Chapter 526: Bermuda's Adventure
On the old yellowed page, it reads:
[It was a nightmare, a nightmare with eyes open. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
I remember it was the fourth month of sailing, and the weather was so clear that there were no clouds in the blue sky, and there was no warning of disaster.
I walked on the deck with the wine of my hometown, hoping to reach the legendary great power of the East sooner rather than later, according to the doctrine transmitted from Florence, Italy, that the land and the sea under our feet were a ball, and that if we sailed westward, we would reach the East.
The hull of the ship shuddered suddenly, and at first we didn't pay attention to it, but soon it trembled violently, like a mad beast.
We assumed it was hit by a large sea creature, but it didn't, and I sent a brave guy with the best of the water down to see it, but he never came out again.
Boom! Not long ago, the sky that had been clear changed color in an instant, and lightning, thunder, and wind stirred the surface of the sea restlessly.
Before we could react, a huge whirlpool appeared on the surface of the sea, and it spun at a rapid speed, and the powerful suction seemed to swallow it all.
Although I didn't know what was going on, I quickly ordered the sailors to turn around, and at that moment, the whirlpool actually rose into the air, and there was a strange scene that I will never forget......]
It took Zheng Fei half an hour to finish reading this autobiography, and the candle was almost burned out.
He silently closed the book and fell into deep thought.
An eerie scene that will never be forgotten... I didn't expect it to be that.
But could what is written in the book be true? Nine times out of ten, it should not be fake, because the book was not written by the navigator himself, but was compiled by posterity on the basis of his oral account, and he himself died of illness on the second day after his return to the European continent, and the last words left by man before his death could not be false.
Gradually, an impulse surged in Zheng Fei's heart, making his curiosity about Bermuda soar to the extreme, and he was extremely eager to uncover its mystery.
However, he understands that these are all things for later, and there are more important things waiting for him at the moment.
He clenched his fists, trying to calm his agitated thoughts, and raised his binoculars to look at the colonist base in the distance.
It was a mess over there, and groups of soldiers were running around the base, and from their expressions they seemed to be indignant, and it was obvious that they didn't understand why the general was furious just by throwing away the book, and they didn't know the secrets it contained.
In fact, Zheng Fei doesn't know that secret...
Seeing the chaotic scene in the base, Zheng Fei couldn't help frowning, and said to himself: "Everyone was dispatched just to find this book? ”
Brad was also confused, lowered his eyebrows and carefully recalled the previous events, and suddenly, his eyes lit up.
"I remember their leader saying that they had come here to find what was written in the book. ”
"Why, it's all about Bermuda's adventures. ”
"I'm also weird, maybe I'll only find out if we get their leader over. ”
Zheng Fei nodded, stared up at the sky, and slowly began to think about strategy.
......
The next day, dawn.
The sun in the east has just revealed half of its head, pouring golden light into the sky, injecting vigorous vitality into everything in the world.
In the colonizer base, the soldiers searched through the whole night and did not find the book that the general wanted, hungry and tired, sat on the ground and dozed off against the wall, and greeted the female relatives of the general's family countless times in their hearts.
The general didn't feel a little sleepy tonight, he really couldn't figure out why that book was missing, if it wasn't in the base, then where else could it be?
Could it be that the natives who live nearby did it? No, those ignorant humans only steal food and weapons, what are they doing stealing books...
So, could it be that other Europeans are here?
Unable to figure it out anyway, he paced back and forth in the room, becoming more and more anxious, feeling that he could not afford to delay time like this.
As he walked out of the room, he was greeted by dozing soldiers all over the floor, and he no longer had the strength to roar or kick them, and he climbed the watchtower, his bloodshot eyes wide open.
It was a wonderful morning, and the land was as quiet as ever, but he was no longer in the mood to admire it, and his intently eyes moved around the land, hoping to find some signs of human activity.
When his gaze swept over a hill, the moment froze.
What is that?
Suspecting that he was hallucinating, he rubbed his eyes vigorously.
Smoke from the back of the hill is a wisp of smoke that can be clearly seen even from a distance.
The smoke alone could not tell that there was someone there, as it could have been a fire that had set the grass on fire.
At this moment, a group of people climbed up the hill, and the general vaguely saw that they seemed to be wearing clothes from civilized society, and they were definitely not native!
Stunned for a moment, he raised his throat and shouted with all his might: "Get up, waste, assemble!"
Due to sleepless nights and prolonged anxiety, my voice became much hoarse.
The soldiers, who had just fallen asleep, were awakened, their heads became even more dizzy, and they were so sleepy that they even struggled to open their eyes, squinting with muskets, and their bodies shook involuntarily.
"Two thousand meters east, let's go!" the general wanted to reprimand them, but he also felt that everyone was really not in good spirits.
"General, we didn't sleep all night, and we didn't eat breakfast..."
"If you don't want to stay on this continent forever, do as I say. ”
Among the colonists, only the general knew the route.
The soldiers who were threatened were very annoyed, but they could not have a good seizure, so they could only curse a few words silently in their hearts, and walked listlessly in a line to the east, slowly.
The general, on the other hand, got into a carriage and drove at the front of the line.
"Damn old fellow, I really want to kill you. The soldiers cursed, staring viciously at his back.
In a short time they arrived at the hill, where the smoke was still rising, and the people on the hill had disappeared.
Little did the general know that when he wandered around the hill to inspect the scorched dead grass, the weakly defended base fell under the attack of a group of men, and all those locked in the prison were rescued.
"General... I'm feeling a little bad. The adjutant cautioned, holding his breath and looking around.
"People who stay up late are prone to nervousness. The general didn't take it seriously, and turned over the dry grass to find some favorable clues, but found nothing, as if no one had ever been here.
The general twisted his eyebrows, could it be that the group of people on the hill before were all illusions?
Suddenly, a shout came from nowhere, resounding throughout the land.
