Chapter 698: Change
The only survivors were Edward, his ship's stewards, male and female servants, and the crew, Devin and Jason, Seaman's men, and the guests of a merchant ship that arrived at the back of Edward's fleet, and the crew and dancers of the Rose.
In total, there are more than 200 people.
Seaman shrank behind Edward, silently, honestly allowing Hugh to observe them as carefully as his prey, the usual poisonous tongue attribute is self-healing, I believe that as long as it is in front of Miss Yang Yuying, she will never dare to break out again.
When Edward looked at him, he was a little less worried.
Hugh Ke's speed was a little slow, and he checked it very carefully, and it took him more than twenty minutes to breathe a sigh of relief, and he shook his head at Yang Yuying and said, "There are no unknown elements, it should really not be." ”
Before he could finish speaking, Hugh turned around again and went to clean the scene, preparing to plow the ground thirty times.
Yang Yuying nodded and smiled: "Okay, everyone must be tired after tossing for so long, let's find a cabin to rest." It's just that the enemy is so dangerous and elusive, and the sea area where we are located is vast, and it is not easy to notify the escort team, so please stay together as much as possible and not separate. ”
Today can almost be said to be the most dangerous day of their lives.
At this moment, the ship was still in a mess, and everyone didn't even dare to look up, all of them were so depressed that none of them relied on their identities to point fingers, and they all honestly stayed in Edward's cabin.
Don't look at Edward's ship just now in the wind and waves, but of all the fleets present, his ship is the most spacious and luxurious, and the safest.
If I have encountered so much trouble in other boats, I am afraid that I will not know where to go to feed the fish for a long time.
The cabin was slightly cleaned up, and the crew hastened to bring some hot soup to the guests, and the wine was withdrawn.
Being frightened like this, drinking some hot soup can also stabilize your spirit.
Edward dragged Seaman, who was dodging and didn't dare to look up, and sat down with Yang Yuying and Hugh Ke, the sound of wind and rain outside gradually decreased, and the fear in his heart finally dissipated.
"With the current route, it will take us two days to find land at the earliest, and Davin and that Jason look a little badly injured, and I don't know ...... Ay. ”
Edward finished his bowl of soup and his eyes fell on the two young men who were lying by the wall not far away.
He had a relatively close relationship with Davin, and he was really worried.
"Edmund, check the charts again to see if there are any nearer islands."
"Yes."
The old butler hurriedly responded.
Most of the countries on the polar ice planet are island countries, and so is the Yonglan Empire, in addition to the vast area of the central island where the imperial capital is located, there are more than a dozen large islands, dozens of medium-sized islands, and as for small islands and micro islands, the number is so large that it has not been counted clearly.
With so many islands scattered around the various shipping lanes, it is impossible for even an experienced sailor to keep them in his mind, and at this time, nautical charts are quite important.
The charts around Edward are naturally not comparable to ordinary charts on the market, and even the treasures in the private collections of many families are difficult to compare.
Leaving the matter to the butler, Edward breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did he say with some surprise: "What about Yuyingjun and Knight Huke, how ...... Didn't spend more time on Moonlight Island? ”
When he left, he didn't hear that this young lady was also leaving.
Moreover, Yu Yingjun also gave him a gift when he was leaving.
"Hmm."
Thinking of this, Edward suddenly became a little worried, "Has my studio been destroyed?" ”
If his latest paintings are broken, he will feel distressed, and more importantly, there is a gift from Yu Yingjun inside, which is now his favorite.
Before Edward left, the various gifts sent by the various forces on Moonlight Island were piled up in two large ships. Among them, what he liked the most was the parting gift given by Miss Yang Yuying Yang and Knight Hugh.
A complete set of oil paints, and a set of painting tools that are very lightweight, but do not shake on a bumpy boat.
When Edward saw those paints, he was deeply fascinated by the bright colors, with his identity, the best pigments in the Yonglan Empire were selected by him, and he used many kinds of famous, expensive brand-name goods, none of which could be better than the one in front of him.
Because I liked it so much, when I arrived at the dock, I couldn't wait to get on the boat without saying goodbye to William and them, and got into my own studio, tried it first, and then immersed myself in painting out of control.
So much so that the speed at which the fleet set sail was at least doubled.
After all, those words of parting that should have been there have been canceled.
Edward was still worried about his studio under such circumstances, and the manservant beside him was not surprised, and hurriedly said: "The housekeeper has just gone to see it, please rest assured, everything is fine." ”
"That's good."
Edward breathed a sigh of relief, and when he turned around, he saw Yang Yuying with his hands on his shoulders, staring at him scrutinically, with a coolness in his eyes.
"Yu Yingjun?"
"Nothing."
Yang Yuying smiled.
It was just now that I accidentally heard Edward's butler, servant or something say, because the Grand Duke liked the things she gave too much, and was obsessed with them too much, so he didn't entertain William and them, so the ship went so fast that Yang Yuying and Hugh Ke obviously calculated the time, thinking that they could catch up with their ship before Edward's fleet left port, but there was such a mistake.
However, Edward still uses a special wharf, to rush from his wharf to the passenger wharf, it needs to pass through the entire Moonlight Island, Yang Yuying and Hugh's speed must of course be certain, but even their speed, it will take at least an hour or so.
Yang Yuying thought about it for a minute, but still got on the fastest ship, and it was also about to set sail for the imperial capital.
But...... She had to admit that she was really a little impulsive.
Hugh was very happy, and the Rose was full of beautiful young ladies. Those beautiful young ladies are also gentle as water in front of him, or playful and cute.
But Yang Yuying was involved in all kinds of plots like the 'house fight' scene, and at that moment, she suddenly wanted to tell her mother-in-law.
I heard that most of the time in her mother's family, she usually has to raise more than a dozen concubines, all of whom are beautiful and love to be demons, and she is as stable as Mount Tai, and she does not feel bitter at all.
Oh, what a great spirit!
Yang Yuying sighed: "Grand Duke, I'm afraid we're in trouble." ”
Edward nodded, and the enemies all ran to their ships to slaughter all sides, which must have been a big problem.
Yang Yuying pondered for a moment, first explained in detail to Edward and the others, and turned to Hugh Ke, who was still on guard, and said: "It's all juveniles, and even the ability to immortalize is very weak, but it already has the ability to mimic, this thing is really very strange." ”
Hugh Ke frowned: "I can kill one with almost three or four knives, and I look very weak in the larvae, and the Zerg now have the habit of sending cannon fodder?" ”
When he first shot to kill insects, he almost lost his strength and fell headlong with the first knife, and he was startled at the time.
The two of them looked at each other, and they both felt that there was no experience of their predecessors to refer to.
In their knowledge, the Zerg are a very protective race, the young will stay in the hive to be carefully cared for, and the adults have a lot of friendship with each other, killing one can often attract a group.
The Commonwealth and Imperial Lesson Plans also include a number of tactics that specifically target this trait.
Yang Yuying was silent for a moment, and said coldly: "Don't think about it, it's just that you have to be more and more careful in the future." ”
Hugh is clear.
He has been fighting since he was a child, he has a lot of experience, and he has seen a lot of situations where a master horse stumbles, and in this state, if you change someone who is not vigilant enough, there is indeed a possibility of an accident.
The Zerg encountered on the ship today are all weak, and they have beaten these weak Standard Beaters easily, in case a few normal bugs emerge from behind, they are likely to still treat others as weak Standard Beaters, if this is the case, nine out of nine small lives will be lost.
Hugh Ke and Yang Yuying played very cautiously today, but who can guarantee that after coming a few more times, they will still have such vigilance?
After settling Edward and other nobles, Hugh Ke squatted at the door of the cabin to temporarily act as a bodyguard, Yang Yuying frowned and said, "I'll go to another ship to have a look." ”
Edward remembered what had just happened, and hurriedly said, "Speaking of which, did those guests get poisoned just now?" Lost your mind? ”
Yang Yuying shook her head, before she could speak, her footsteps paused, and suddenly she heard the wind whistling in her ears, and she slashed out with her backhand, and the air sounded as if it was torn.
The knife light tore open the sky, only to see a child appear out of thin air in mid-air, with red hair, dark eyes, tears on his face, fear and killing intent in his eyes, glaring at Yang Yuying viciously, ignoring the knife at all, and rushing towards her properly.
She stabbed and stopped, returning with such force that her wrist creaked a few times.
The other arm was slightly raised, just enough for the kid to bite right in.
Everyone was stunned.
The child bit Yang Yuying's arm viciously, and he didn't say anything, and the force was so great that even the muscles on his face began to twist.
Yang Yuying shook twice, but didn't shake her down, so she had to half-raise her arm and hang the child and walk in front of Xiu Ke: "Check this little cub." ”
Hugh Ke checked for a long time: "People." ”
Yang Yuying rolled her eyes, silently slapped him in the face with a knife, and squeezed the child off her sleeve little by little.
"Phew!"
Her knife was newly punched on the spaceship, and it belonged to the anti-Zerg standard cold weapon.
Because the stomach of the Zerg may be connected to the cosmic black hole, it can digest everything, but this specially built cold weapon can also slightly overcome their characteristics.
Yang Yuying and Xiu Ke are like this, they can silently come up with one hundred and eighty alloy formulas, and when they go out this time, they are all prescient to replace them with machetes that are easy to use and not good-looking.
Now it comes in handy, not only can you cut insects, but even if a child is foaming at the mouth, you can block them all, and you don't have to worry about your sword being dusted.
This kind of machete was originally a one-time use, and if you cut it twice, the Zerg should be replaced with a new one, and if you don't collect it, it's dirty, and you don't have to wipe it, it's good.
Yang Yuying wiped the child's not very clean clothes with a knife, and then pushed him in front of Edward and Seaman with the back of the knife: "Has this cub been claimed?" ”
He-Man hurriedly shook his head: "Presumptuous, you actually dare to sneak attack Yuyingjun, don't die." ”
"You killed my Abba, I'm going to kill you!!"
The child roared word by word, and his face was full of hideousness.
Yang Yuying was taken aback: "Are you a bug?" ”
She didn't care about it for a while, so she quickly picked up the child, took out all kinds of potions from her sleeve and poured it over, Hugh Ke was even more vigilant, the machete was unsheathed, ready to get started at any time.
Several potions for the Zerg's sense of smell poured the child all over his body, and he didn't change at all, Yang Yuying came back from the fright, blinked, and smiled: "Cough." ”
Hugh Ke silently put away the knife and whispered: "We are so cautious, it should be considered a good thing." ”
The two of them didn't think about it just now, and they knew that if the Zerg was so close and they didn't notice it at all, then there was no need to be so nervous.
If the Zerg really evolved to such an extent, the human race should be extinct.
In the next cosmic epoch, the lord of all things can only be the Zerg.
If that's the case, Hugh can think, he really doesn't have to think too much, he is full of food and drink, and he can die as he deserves.
Edward said at this time: "This kid has the logo of Prince William on his clothes, and you are Prince William's guard?" ”
The child gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, but there was actually a dazed panic in the depths of his eyes.
Edward suddenly got up, frightened in his heart: "Prince William is also there?" He-Man, did you see his ship? Also, since the imperial capital summoned me back, he must have also summoned William, I remember that William left the imperial capital last year to study in the Holy Church, according to the direction, he, he ......"
After a few words, Edward sat down in his chair, his eyes red, and suddenly grabbed the child's collar, "Are you William's man?" What about your prince? ”
The anger between the child's expressions was slightly restrained, and he looked around, as if he was a little hesitant in his heart, it was really like a nightmare for him just now, to the point that there was some unreal feeling, at this time, seeing Edward's expression, he lowered his head, and tried to calm himself and said: "You killed the prince, killed my Abba, killed so many people, and now what are you pretending, woo, woo." ”
Edward was almost crazy, and shouted loudly, "Davin, Davin, see if you can dig out the contents of this little cub's brain." ”
Devin and Jason had quietly walked to Edward's side at this time, and when they heard his words, their eyes were sparkling, and they said softly, "...... Long dead. ”
Jason picked up the child in front of him and put it on the chair, stared at his eyes for a few seconds before slowly letting go, and said in a calm voice: "Except for the three fleets today, the people in the other fleets died yesterday. ”
His voice was soft and somewhat weak.
Edward was at a loss: "How is it possible? ”
Not so long ago, those boats were brightly lit and bustling.
Yang Yuying's heart was clear, her eyes fell on Jason, and she said faintly: "Yes, that thing will kill the people on these ships first, and then mimic ...... Disguise yourself as they are and continue to wait for your prey to take the bait. ”
After a pause, Yang Yuying smiled bitterly: "This is not the situation I expected. ”
