"Pirates?"

Hearing this extremely familiar word, a hint of playfulness flashed in Zhang Cheng's eyes, and he read thoughts and memories directly from the girl's brain.

In just a few seconds, he figured out the current state of civilization in North America.

Located on the former Pacific side, the continent is mainly ruled by the descendants of the people who used to secretly control the United States, and there are about eight countries, large and small, and more than 8,000 nobles of more than 8,000 barons.

With tens of thousands of superpowered soldiers trained in Alaska, the old guys led by Eagle took advantage of the disaster to start a bloody battle with the Supreme Underground Council of North America for 25 years, and finally relied on the four remaining nuclear warheads to directly die with the top of the Supreme Council, laying the foundation for independence for their children and grandchildren.

On the Atlantic side, the continent was controlled by the defeated councillors and lords, and since no one was subservient to anyone, it was in a state of chaos, with almost daily wars, bandits, pirates, bandits, and even terrible slavery.

The most important thing is that the collapse of order has led to the precipitous decline of science and technology and industry, and even the precious technology of papermaking, which carries civilization and knowledge, has been lost, so in just a few hundred years, not many people remember how brilliant and developed the civilization system that mankind has created before, and most ordinary people do not even know the words.

In particular, firearms, which have been developed over hundreds of years, are now only hand-made by a very small number of skilled craftsmen, and most people are still using backward cold weapons.

As for the big cities of the past, they are now covered in dense vegetation and filled with monsters pouring in from other worlds, and only a handful of teams who are confident in their own strength dare to enter and find out.

In addition, as several artifacts continue to exert influence on the water sources of the entire world, more and more humans who have survived the disaster have begun to awaken to supernatural powers, accounting for more than fifty percent of the total.

However, most of them are useless abilities, and those with great destructive power will become the object of competition from various forces.

To put it simply, in the new era of technological decline, abilities have become the measure of a person's strength, and because this ability can be passed on to future generations along with the bloodline, some families have gradually emerged based on it.

There is no doubt that the people on this ship regarded the fireball technique released by Zhang Cheng just now as a kind of ability.

"Sir, how have you considered my proposal? I swear by the captain of the ship that you will be entitled to at least a third of all the spoils thereafter. Joanna swore an assurance.

This girl, who has been well protected since childhood, apparently unaware of what a dangerous and crazy monster she is dealing with.

Zhang Cheng inspected the small wooden sailing ship that could only accommodate less than a hundred people, and nodded with a chuckle: "Okay, I agreed." Now please prepare a suit of clothes and shoes and socks for me, and a separate room. ”

"Of course, no problem, old Banku, go to the captain's quarters and take out the cloak and give it to this gentleman. Joanna happily yelled at an old man in his fifties.

"As you wish, Captain. The old man stroked his chest with one hand and bowed slightly, and rushed into the cabin without saying a word.

After a while, he walked out of the black captain's coat, somewhat resembling the eighteenth-century Age of Discovery, plus a sapphire-encrusted saber.

"Thank you very much!"

Zhang Chengke had no exhibitionism, and after politely thanking him, he immediately put this set of clothes on his body, and the whole person looked energetic and handsome.

Looking at the handsome opposite sex in front of her, Joanna suddenly felt a little heartbeat for some reason, hurriedly avoided the other party's eyes as bright as stars, and took the initiative to introduce herself: "My name is Joanna, Joanna Rest, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

"Hello, Joanna, my name is Zhang Cheng. Zhang Cheng bluntly reported his name.

For hundreds of years, almost all the surviving humans on the ground have completely forgotten the past, so there is no need to worry about anyone recognizing him.

Just as the girl was about to say something, the lookout, who was standing above the mast, suddenly shouted at the top of his voice: "Port side has found a ship! It's a big ship!"

"What?!" The old man, who had been known as Banku, immediately raised the single-pass telescope in his hand and looked in the direction pointed by the lookout.

I saw a much larger ship than this small warship, covered with canvas, sailing towards this side in the wind and waves, with a black skull flag hanging on the top of the sail.

"Oh-no! it's the Sea Serpent! Undead Captain Lines's ship! Quick! Turn the bow of the ship! If you don't want to die, take out all the cargo from the cabin and throw it into the sea! Hurry up!" Old Banku roared loudly, retracting his voice.

The expression on his face was so nervous that even the hand holding the scimitar trembled slightly.

"Undead Captain Lines?" Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows with a smirk.

He really didn't understand why these pirates liked to give themselves or others some messy nicknames.

Old Banku nodded solemnly: "That's right! Undead Captain Lines is one of the most powerful pirates in this sea! He is said to be able to resurrect and manipulate dead corpses, and he can also make living corpses retain all their fighting skills. Get ready for battle, Mr. Zhang. If we get caught up, the only thing we can count on is you. If the worst happens, be sure to leave with Miss Joanna, and I'll risk my life to buy you a little time. ”

"Hehe, don't be so pessimistic, I don't think a mere pirate ship can pose any threat to me. ”

The words just fell!

Zhang Cheng turned to the nervous girl beside him and said, "Dear captain, don't you want to make a name for yourself on this sea? Now there is just an opportunity! Not only should we not run away, but we should turn the bow of the ship to meet it, kill all the guys who dare to resist on that pirate ship, and use blood and death to tell everyone that this sea is about to usher in a new master." ”

"What do you mean...... Fighting?" Joanna's eyes lit up, adrenaline was secreted in large quantities, and her originally fair face flushed with excitement.

That's right!

Why run away?

Secretly running away from home is not to prove to his father that even if he does not get married, he still has enough capital to inherit the noble surname of Lester.

Perhaps, now is the perfect time to prove it.

Fight!

And not running away!

Thinking of this, she immediately shouted to the panicked sailors, "Stop running away!

"What, miss, are you crazy?"

"We're going to die!"
