Volume 1 • Across the Seven Seas [022] The orphan girl of House Town
Three days later......
On the southwest coast of the island of Willalia, the fishing port of House.
The Black Knife avoided several reefs and sailed smoothly into the fishing port, but the once prosperous fishing port was now empty.
"Jobs was here?"
Hawkins stood on the deck, smelling the stench of corpses, and asked Jenny next to him.
Although she had been with Hawkins for several days, Jenny was still intimidated by Hawkins, and she shrank a little and replied, "Yes." ”
"Get off the boat!" Hawkins said after a moment of silence.
A few sailors threw the anchor into the water, and quickly lowered the ladder, and Hawkins disembarked and headed straight for the town of House.
Some people may think that if a person has lived for so long, then he must be very open-minded and will not keep anything in his heart.
But this is not the case, it is precisely because of the loss and the boundless loneliness that Hawkins cherishes life more, because he understands better than anyone that life is not easy to come by.
In the vast universe, the odds of encountering life are countless times lower than winning the lottery.
Therefore, in his heart, every life is a priceless treasure.
Although there are occasionally some bad seeds, so he has to clean them up.
Mark got off the boat and looked at Hawkins' back, and whispered to Qiao Si, who had just gotten off the boat next to him, "The captain is not in a good mood." ”
"Because the captain is a good man. Qiao Si said lightly, and then said to Jenny on the boat: "Miss Jenny, come down quickly, we must follow the captain." ”
Only Hawkins has the ability to protect Jenny, so Qiao Si doesn't want them to stay too far away from Hawkins, lest they be exploited by other forces.
The town of House, once thriving for fishing, was now in tatters, and the streets were littered with broken corpses.
The corpses were foul-smelling and infested with maggots, making it difficult to distinguish their original faces.
As Mark walked down the street, his expression gradually changing from playful to serious, he saw several blurry corpses that were using their bodies to protect the babies underneath them, but in the end, neither mother nor child could escape their fate.
“......”
Mark walked behind Hawkins, only to see a huge footprint in front of him.
These footprints do not look like human footprints, not only are the heels thick, but the toes are very long, and they should have very sharp nails.
"Captain, this can't be left by Jobs, right?" he walked over to the footprints and squatted down, looking at the footprints that were at least half a meter long, and couldn't help but ask.
If these footprints were really left by Jobs, how tall is Jobs now?
Hawkins shook his head and said, "It's not Jobs, it should be another creature, but it should have nothing to do with Jobs." ”
He could distinguish all the scents in the town of House, and the smell of Jobs was very special, mixed with the smell of many people's blood, and the smell of this footprint was very singular.
"Follow me!"
Suddenly, Hawkins' ears moved, and he immediately looked at the woods outside the town of House.
The woods outside the town of House looked like a typhoon passing through, with a hole buried under countless trees.
It was a secret base for several homeless teenagers in Housetown, and now it is a hiding place for the survivors of Housetown.
They were covered in a thick layer of mud and carefully came out of their holes one by one.
"The monster left?"
A teenager asked in fear.
Next to the boy was a malnourished-looking girl, covered in mud and with only a pair of star-like pupils that shone brightly.
Her name is Mourning Night, the leader of the homeless boys in Housetown.
It was she who sensed the crisis in advance and decisively led the homeless orphans out of House Town, which escaped.
"That feeling disappeared and we went to town. She was silent for a moment, then spoke.
As soon as she finished speaking, she took a step, and then her face changed suddenly, and her whole body trembled involuntarily.
"What's wrong with you?" the boy asked strangely when he saw her stop again.
Mourning Night's forehead gradually became covered with cold sweat, she swallowed her saliva and said in a trembling voice, "There is an even more terrifying monster in the town, he seems to have discovered us. ”
"Then what should I do, I said I shouldn't come out!" said a boy about twelve or thirteen years old in horror behind the mourning night.
Wai Miye gritted his teeth and said: "It should be me who he found, I'll lure him away, you guys go back to the base and hide!"
After saying that, she immediately ran in the opposite direction of House Town, and several teenagers looked at the oldest teenager with panicked expressions, the teenager wanted to catch up but couldn't rest assured of the others, and finally glanced at the youngest child, and yelled: "What are you still doing in a daze, go back, hide quickly!!"
On the other side, Hawkins had just stepped out of town and found that the breath he had captured was moving away.
"Follow!"
He smiled faintly, and the next moment he was full of strength, and the distance of a few hundred meters only took a few seconds for him, and in an instant he came to the secret base of the teenagers.
The teenager at the front reacted the fastest, and as soon as Hawkins stopped, he immediately grabbed the stick in his hand and slashed at Hawkins.
Although the boy was only fourteen or fifteen years old, because he had been wandering around the fishing port of House Town all the year round, he had trained his strength to carry seafood, and if this stick hit an ordinary person, it was enough to make people unconscious on the spot.
It's a pity that he faced Hawkins.
Hawkins reached out his hand and flicked the boy's forehead before the stick hit him, and then quickly chased in the direction of Mourning's escape.
Boom!
The young man fell short with a stick, and the wooden stick broke on the broken tree, and he 'sighed' and covered his head and screamed.
At this time, dozens of meters away, Mourning was running desperately, very scared.
But it can't be helped.
The other party found out that she was the one who couldn't bother the others, so she had to leave alone, hoping to lure away the powerful monster.
Suddenly, a vine tripped her ankle, and she fell to the ground, and after rolling several times, she quickly got up with red eyes, gritted her teeth and continued to run.
It's too close to the base, and even if you die, you have to stay away, so as not to disturb the others.
"Running so fast, aren't you tired?"
Hawkins' voice sounded behind her, and her heart suddenly felt as if she was being held, and she was nervous and distracted, and her foot tripped over a pebble and fell to the ground again.
But this time, before her face touched the ground, the whole person was stopped by Hawkingsto.
"Little girl, am I that scary?" Hawkins laughed.
Mourning Night struggled: "Let go of me!"
"Good, good, but you have to stand firm and don't fall again. Hawkins let go unhurriedly and said with a smile.
He naturally understood why the girl ran away, she didn't want to escape alone, but wanted to lure the enemy away.
It was a very noble sacrifice, though it seemed a little funny to him.
Mourning kept her head down, she was born with an intuition that bordered on superpowers, such as pirates who had killed many people, and she could clearly distinguish them even among the fishermen.
A few days ago, when Jobs approached, she was also the first to react, and asked everyone to hide it without objection, but she was soft-spoken, and there were not many people who were really willing to believe her.
Because of this unique talent, she can feel the horror of Hawkins, which is countless times more terrifying than Jobs.
If Jobs is compared to a grain of sand, then Hawkins is like the sun, and the two are completely incomparable.
Hawkins took out a handkerchief to wipe the mud off his hands, looked at the muddy Mourning Night, handed the handkerchief and asked, "Do you need it?"
"No, I don't. Mourning shook her head.
Hawkins smiled, "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. ”
“......”
Wai Mi Ye didn't speak, she didn't know how many people Hawkins had killed, but definitely many, many people, it was intuition.
"Okay, believe it or not, you can't run away now anyway, let's go back first, your little friend should be worried about you. Hawkins saw that Mourning didn't believe it, and said helplessly.
He put away his handkerchief, turned and walked in the direction of the cave, and when he saw it, he had to follow.
"What about your parents?" asked Hawkins as he walked.
Mourning Miye lowered his head and followed, and said coldly: "I don't know." ”
"Orphans?"
Hawkins said secretly in his heart, and couldn't help but recall the thin and stubborn back of a long time ago.
Then he stopped and turned around, looked at the mourning night, and asked cautiously, "Well, or not...... How about me being your father?"
"What the hell are you trying to do?" asked Mourning Night, finally holding back, glaring at Hawkins.
She didn't believe what Hawkins said from beginning to end.
In the past, many traffickers pretended to be good people like Hawkins, but she knew very well that those traffickers would put people in cages once they abducted them onto boats, and if they were lucky, they could be sold, and if they were unlucky, they would die in cages and their bodies would be thrown into the sea.
"If I'm a bad person, what do you think I want to do, do you and those kids have the ability to resist? I don't need to act, kid, you are smart, but your knowledge is too short, it will make you see the situation clearly and make wrong judgments. Hawkins squatted down, not too dirty, reached out and rubbed the mourning head, and explained gently.
The longer a person lives, the more regrets he has.
He knew very well that Mourning was not the stubborn and arrogant child in his memory, but he also couldn't ignore a kind child like Mourning.
This is the loving care of the elderly for the young life.
Mourning looked at Hawkins suspiciously, still a little unconvinced, because she knew very well how bad a bad person could be.
There are many people who take pleasure in fooling others, and who knows if Hawkins will suddenly change his face when she believes Hawkins' words, and then laugh at her for being naïve and stupid.
"Alright, let's go back first!" Hawkins said with some sadness.
How many tribulations does a teenage child have to go through to be so suspicious?
Hawkins continued walking, smiling as he walked: "I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Hawkins, professional... Count as a pirate. ”
"Liar. "Mourning the night does not believe.
She had never seen a pirate as clean as Hawkins.
The town of House is frequented by pirates, but instead of looting treasure, they come to sell their stolen goods and have fun.
She had seen not a thousand but eight hundred, and they were all dirty, and there was always an indescribable stench on them.
Not only was Hawkins clean, but he also behaved less like a pirate, more like a nobleman who had passed through the town of House.
