Chapter 345: Sea Burial
"Phew!"
The sound of the gun was crisp and pleasant, and the bullet instantly punched a big hole in the boss's head, and the skull in the back of the head was directly knocked out, and the brain was splashed everywhere, and the whole person sat back in the chair.
Only this time it will never stand up again.
This sudden scene instantly stunned the pirates of the pirate group, and they could hardly believe their eyes, and they couldn't figure out what was going on.
Their boss, their murderous pirate leader, just died!?
And his head was completely shattered, and his death was extremely miserable!
"Gun...... It's a gun! He's got a gun in his hand! An old sailor with gray hair suddenly pointed at the automatic rifle in Shen Feng's hand and shouted, "Quick...... Hold your head in your hands! According to the legend of the older generation, this is the only way not to be killed by a gun! ”
As he spoke, he threw away the harpoon in his hand and squatted on the deck with his head in his hands.
The old sailor obviously had some prestige, and when the remaining sailors heard this, they looked at the corpse of the captain who was shot in the head dozens of meters away by the other party, and hurriedly squatted down as well.
They have begged for a living at sea all their lives, and they have heard many anecdotes, including the legend of the guns that once existed.
It was as if guns could kill people from hundreds of meters away, and they used to be the standard in everyone's hands, but they were gradually lost.
It is said that in some places, there are still guns in the hands of certain people, and these remaining guns also give these people the power of gods.
Compared to the bullets of the guns, the harpoons in their hands are simply tattered.
At this time, the pirate ship was still coming towards Shen Feng's small kayak at a constant speed, but the pirates were all squatting on the deck with their heads in their hands.
Shen Feng couldn't help but cry and laugh.
He didn't expect that guns in this world would also become like magical items, and he couldn't help frowning when he thought of the kind of civilization fault line he had seen in the apocalypse of the nuclear war wasteland.
The situation in this world is not optimistic......
Without the control of these sailors, the pirate ship rushed forward completely by inertia, and finally came to Shen Feng's rubber raft.
He put away his parasol, threw his backpack at the pirate ship, and then jumped onto the patchwork ship, which was only twenty meters long.
Then he turned around and fished out the handle of the parasol, and had already scooped up the rubber raft and threw it onto the deck of the pirate ship.
At this time, the pirates were still crouching there with their heads in their hands, and their clothes were carefully dressed.
Shen Feng walked over and kicked the body of the pirate leader away from the chair, sat down on the chair himself, and said:
"Okay, get up, I will be the captain of this ship in the future, if you want to die, you can jump into the sea by yourself, and if you don't want to die, you can recognize me as the boss, and clean up this corpse and feed the fish."
Hearing his words, the pirates present couldn't help but look at each other.
Not only was he shocked by Shen Feng's words, but he was also shocked by the pure Brooklyn accent he played with the silicon-based frame on his chest.
On the contrary, the gray-haired old sailor was the first to react, and pounced on the dead old captain's body, ripped off his shoes, and at the same time took out a sharp knife and began to cut his hair.
The other sailors around rushed up and began to pick the old captain's clothes, while others took a pair of pliers to pull out his teeth.
Soon, the corpse had been stripped of all its clothes, along with dozens of teeth, and a long stretch of hair stained with brains and blood.
Under the leadership of the old pirate, the pirates folded these clothes neatly, and their teeth were all wrapped in handkerchiefs, along with the clump of hair, and placed them at Shen Feng's feet, while they continued to kneel on the deck with their heads in their hands.
Obviously, hair, teeth, and clothes are the most precious things in a person in these last days.
Of course, the old captain's crossbow machine, along with several crossbow arrows inlaid with shark teeth, was also presented to Shen Feng.
Shen Feng looked at these things, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and asked:
"According to your traditions, what happens to the corpses of the vanquished?"
The old sailor hurriedly said:
"Back to the words of the honorable captain, all those who die at sea will eventually be buried at sea, and those of the sky will be returned to the sky, and those of the sea will be returned to the sea...... Of course, being used as bait is also a type of sea burial, but it will only be done if you have a deep hatred......"
Although he did not know where the stranger had come from or why he had asked these questions, the old sailor replied with great respect.
Shen Feng nodded slightly.
These pirates did not have a tradition of cannibalism.
This shows that the world is still saved.
Humanity still retains the ultimate bottom line of humanity.
Immediately nodded and said:
"Then let's bury at sea and continue rowing."
A group of pirates hurriedly pounced on the old captain's corpse, and their expressions became more solemn, and they lifted the old captain's naked body high with their hands and feet, and stood under the worn and patched sails, and slowly walked towards the end of the deck.
The ship itself was not large, and the deck was not very long in total, but their steps were extremely slow, as if they were performing a ritual, and at the same time they whispered in unison:
"The ship that carries the world breaks through the hole,
The palace where the gods dwelt sank into the water,
The sacred armor was destroyed by the beasts,
Man swaying in the water,
Humble seaweed,
storms, storms, waves, and tsunamis,
O dead man of the sea,
Your soul will return to its homeland,
There's land there,
There is paradise there......"
Then more than a dozen people exerted force at the same time, threw the old captain's body high and threw it into the sea.
In the next moment, the atmosphere that was still a little dull was swept away in an instant, and the pirates returned to their respective posts again, and the old sailor asked Shen Feng with a sneer:
"Captain, where are we going next?"
From beginning to end, Shen Feng watched the movements of these people silently, the heaviness just now and the sadness expressed in that song were real, and it was also true that these pirates lost the old captain in the blink of an eye.
He understands this better.
Feelings in the last days are often cheaper.
Only fists are real.
Whoever has the big fist is the boss.
Maybe the previous captain has changed several times.
And although those pirates looked very obedient, the corner of their eyes was always secretly glancing at the gun in Shen Feng's hand.
Hearing the old sailor's words, Shen Feng asked quietly:
"What is this place? Where are you from? Is there any land around here? ”
A look of doubt flashed in the old sailor's eyes, and then he replied truthfully:
"This is the northern sea, and we just set out a few days ago after resting from the nearest floating island market, and as for the land...... The legendary land is extremely far away, called the Cordillera Island Chain, which I have never been to before...... It is said that to go to a distant land, you must take a ride on the legendary giant ship......"
