Afternoon.

When the sun is at its hottest.

It is also a ship in the Purple Moon Era, with a fixed rest time. Despite the busyness, many boats continue to sail at night.

But in the afternoon, there will be a thunderous rest.

Why? The devil knows why? In short, most people are like this over time. So, it's the rule.

Li Tie held a piece of sun-dried seaweed in his mouth, covered his face with a felt hat, and slept leisurely on the deck.

The sun was so scorching that everyone on the ship hid in the cabin to take a nap, but Li Tie enjoyed the sunshine at this time, just like he liked to take dried seaweed in his mouth recently, and liked the feeling of a slightly idle taste spreading in his tasteless mouth.

Speaking of which, these dried seaweeds are still left over from rubbing ropes some time ago.

It was inedible and had no energy, most of the people in the boat chose to throw it away, only Li Tie kept some of them, and when he had something to do, he held one in his mouth.

"It's really incomprehensible, and I like the most scorching sun, and I like the salty and bitter dried seaweed." The cook on Li Tie's ship checked the fish and meat drying on the ship, glanced at Li Tie who was basking in the sun on the deck, muttered a whisper, and then flew back to the cabin.

The captain was a weirdo, he wasn't.

After a busy morning, he had to go back to the cabin for more than an hour to take a nap.

Hearing the movement of the cook returning to the cabin, Li Tie raised his eyebrows slightly, and did not even remove the felt hat covering his face.

In fact, he is used to people thinking him is weird, after all, everyone has their own secrets, and they don't need to explain anything to others.

Li Tie also has his own secrets.

His secret is hidden under his felt hat, in his scalp to be exact.

He often wondered if he told people that there was a life in his scalp that he didn't know what it was, would they think he was crazy.

Probably will, right?

Li Tie squinted his eyes, the scorching afternoon sun made his scalp feel extremely comfortable, the cold feeling slowly faded, and the whole person relaxed.

Such a relaxation made him can't help but start reminiscing.

Li Tie, from Security Zone 73, was born as 'humble' as Tang Ling, and he grew up in a settlement.

Originally, there was no hope in his life.

Because Safe Zone 73 is richer than Safe Zone 17, where Tang Ling is located, children in the colony will be given a genetic test when they are 13 years old.

After all, a person's genetic chain talent will not be finalized until after the age of 15, and the dominant state will be stabilized.

If you measure the gene chain talent early, the sooner you need a better gene chain calculator, and it is not so accurate.

Safety Zone 73 is carried out in advance in line with the intention of cultivating early and not missing a talent.

These are the benefits of deep pockets.

Of course, Li Tie also participated in this calculation when he was 13 years old, but he only had a two-star talent, and according to the regulations of the 73rd safety zone, he was barely qualified to enter the second army at the age of 15.

It also means that there is barely hope of becoming a Purple Moon Warrior.

Li Tie has his own 'ambitions' and bears his own responsibilities, and he is obviously unwilling to accept this result.

But what can be done about this?

Li Tie accepted his fate and thought that his life would be like this.

But what is life? The fascination of life often lies in the fact that it is full of unknowns.

Li Tie's fate changed less than half a year after the first gene chain talent was calculated.

What exactly is this turning point? Li Tie is a little confused when he recalls it now.

All he remembered was the day he and the hunters' army were chasing a level 2 mutant beast.

This is a big deal, if you successfully hunt this level 2 mutant beast, everyone in the large army can live a worry-free life for more than ten days.

But on this day, on the way to the track, people encountered extraordinary things, and in the distance, they could see thunderstorms and storms at the edge of the jungle, as well as shining bands of light, as if some disaster was about to happen.

There didn't seem to be any reaction from Safe Zone 73 to this, and the old man among the hunters had a little insight and told everyone that maybe a very powerful Purple Moon warrior was fighting, so everyone should be careful when hunting and avoid it.

Li Tie, who had always yearned for strength, couldn't help but keep looking over there, it was a big taboo to be distracted in the tense hunting, and in this case, he was separated from the other hunters.

At this time, it was already the edge of the safety zone of the 73rd safe zone, a place that Li Tie had never set foot in in his previous hunting.

So by the time he came back to his senses, he was already lost.

This made Li Tie a little flustered, according to previous experience, getting lost in the jungle was almost equivalent to death.

He was a little flustered looking, and his young age made him completely forget that he should be calm at such a time, and then rely on past experience.

As he walked farther and farther, his sights became stranger and stranger, and he unconsciously got closer and closer to a place that seemed like a violent catastrophe was about to happen.

Afterward.....

The dried seaweed in Li Tie's mouth was about to be chewed, so he put on one and put it in his mouth, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Because of the memory later, he really didn't know it very well.

He only remembered that he heard a loud bang in his panic, and subconsciously looked up as if something shiny rushed towards him, and then everything came to an abrupt end.

At that time, was it unconscious? Or was it struck? Or was it attacked? Li Tie had no concept at all.

All he knew was that when he woke up, he had been found by several hunters, and all his black hair was gone, and there were burns from his scalp to his face.

It's obviously disfigured.

But in the Purple Moon Era, no one cares about this, let alone a man shouldn't care about this, it's a good thing to be able to survive.

Originally, this was the end of the matter.

But for Li Tie, from this time on, his life seems to have just begun, because all strange things happened from this time.

First of all, his scalp and face miraculously returned to normal, but his scalp could no longer grow hair.

His scalp often gets chills, and that cold penetrates deep into the bone marrow, and when it starts, it is like holding a block of ice on his head that will not melt for 10,000 years, and the blood vessels in his entire brain begin to spasm and shrink, and the pain is indescribable.

In cases like this, it can only be alleviated by eating a lot of foods with energy.

Otherwise, it will feel better to bask in the sun when the sun is at its peak.

But no matter what, his scalp is long-term cold and cannot be completely cured.

So Li Tie wears a felt hat all the year round, because his scalp is cold all year round, only wearing a felt hat will make him feel more comfortable.

It was he who suddenly performed amazingly in the gene chain talent test in the second year, and the gene chain talent changed from a two-star talent to an amazing six-star talent.

Then he became a seed boy who was important for the cultivation of Security Zone 73.

After all, after the age of 15, the gene chain talent will be completely finalized, and for the sake of insurance, after 13, there will be a total of three opportunities to test the gene chain talent in the 73rd safe zone.

It's just that there are too few people who can 'turn the tables', and people like Li Tie are basically 'cases'.

People congratulated Li Tie, but only Li Tie himself knew that all these changes might have something to do with his scalp.

Because since that injury, his comprehension and the growth of his basic ability have been changing.

This was originally a matter without evidence, but after that, Li Tie fell asleep.

In that mysterious dream world, Li Tie vaguely learned that there was a life form in his scalp that coexisted with him, which led to his change.

He wanted to know a more definite answer, but unfortunately everything has a price to pay in the dream world.

"Unless...."Li Tie secretly clenched his fists, he was looking forward to the next dream, if he could save enough dream coins, he would also get a chance to answer his doubts.

In Li Tie's heart, if he wants to pursue more and higher realms, his greatest hope lies in understanding the existence in his scalp....

Li Tie was fascinated, but at this time, a dazzling ray of sunlight interrupted his thinking.

His felt hat had been removed, and it was evident that in the scorching afternoon sun, he could feel a glimmer of light even with his eyes closed.

"Who?" Li Tie opened his eyes suddenly, and what he saw was a familiar face that made him admire.

At this time, the face was drenched, and the hair was still dripping downward.

He squatted beside Li Tie, took Li Tie's felt hat in his hand and looked at it repeatedly, and then threw it back to Li Tie.

Li Tie turned over and sat up, took the felt hat with his hand, and looked a little excited.

And when he looked up, he saw Tang Ling's face with a faint smile, and he opened his mouth and said to Li Tie: "Can I trust you?" Are you willing to follow me for a big vote? ”

"Yes!" Li Tie agreed almost without thinking, he stood up excitedly, and even his voice was a little louder.

Tang Ling is his idol, because he was also born in the settlement, but Tang Ling has risen so quickly.

In contrast, Li Tie was very ashamed, he had read all the information about Tang Ling, and he didn't find any adventures in Tang Ling, if he was born as Tang Feng's son, it would be considered an adventure....

But he is a real person, and he has extraordinary adventures.... But compared to Tang Ling, it is so ordinary.

If you say it, it was out of this psychology that she unswervingly followed Tang Ling before.

Now, Li Tie admires Tang Ling even more! He couldn't forget the scene when Tang Ling burst out and killed Omir.

Born in the Purple Moon Era, the oppression of classes has almost become a habit, but Tang Ling....

He's a hero! At least in Li Tie's heart.

So when Tang Ling suddenly appeared like this and asked him like this, what was there to hesitate about? Even if you want to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, following Tang Ling will definitely be vigorous and extraordinary.

This is the mind of a young man.

Looking at Li Tie, Tang Ling made a silent expression, and then whispered: "Okay, if you are willing, I will take it as a promise." After that, I will give you 100% trust. So now, we need a place to talk, and ten minutes is enough. But all this is kept secret. ”

"Come to my cabin." Li Tie's voice immediately became smaller, and he said to Tang Ling.

**

"The felt hat is missing."

When Lu Xiaohua got the news, she said that her mood was not shocked, which was definitely a lie.

After all, at the beginning, when a group of teenagers born in the grassroots chose to follow Tang Ling without hesitation, she and the felt hat were the two most determined.

Why is it so determined? Everyone may have different reasons.

But Lu Xiaohua believes that when this firmness reaches a certain level, it is definitely a great ambition in his heart, and he wants to leave a dazzling light in the entire era with his humble birth.

Those who can do this, in addition to the initial turmoil at the beginning of the era, there are many moments of reshuffling.

By now, the more fixed the class, the less there is.

At least in recent decades, there has been a Tang Feng among such grassroots heroes, and now the one who has this ability is Tang Feng's son Tang Ling....

They are undoubtedly the hope in the eyes of people like themselves and felt hats.

The sea at dusk is beautiful, and the soft and gorgeous sunset presents a variety of different colors, burning in the sky, and the deep blue sea is like a persistent person who follows this splendid and follows it all the way to the sky.

Although the sea and the sky are not the same color, they are unusually harmonious.

"If the felt hat goes missing, I'll feel a little lonely, right?" Lu Xiaohua lowered her head, and on her face, which has always been described as a little paralyzed, a rare trace of loss flashed in her eyes.

She was now sitting on the top of her boat, with many gears of her own hands scattered at her feet.

And the hands are also carved gears.

Although these gears are made of wood, if there were tools to test these gears with the same precision tools of the pre-civilization, you would find that the gears carved by this girl by hand were amazingly accurate.

However, this is not something worthy of praise in Lu Xiaohua'er's eyes.

Because that's what her talent is, mechanical talent! In the eyes of people, it looks a bit chicken, and it can't be directly turned into a talent for combat effectiveness.

This talent was already evident at a very young age.

But her birthplace is a safe village, and such a talent is of little use, not to mention that Lu Xiaohua's desire in her heart is to become a powerful female Purple Moon Warrior.

Therefore, Lu Xiaohua once thought that she was useless.

However, this thinking is clearly wrong. The people of the Safe Village are not aware of the strength of the mechanical talent, which does not mean that the people from the larger places are not aware of it.

In general, the Purple Moon Age was a strange and relatively closed era.

Strange where it is strong, brilliant almost beyond the pre-civilization, and where it is backward, it is unusually primitive.

There is no way, the extreme climate, the terrain that is still changing, and all kinds of strange and powerful creatures hinder people from building a mature transportation network and communication network.

So it formed its occlusion again.

Lu Xiaohua's luck lies in the fact that the safe village where she was born is ruled by a small safe city.

In the end, her talent was discovered, and it was discovered by the adults from Safe City who came to screen for cultivation value.

The mechanical talent is a great talent to become a technologist, and the people of Safe City are not as uninformed as the people of Safe Village.

So, they took Lu Xiaohua away to cultivate. Moreover, Lu Xiaohua also did an unusually comprehensive gene chain talent test.

The results of the test were not bad, but they were not shocking. Lu Xiaohua is the owner of a fourth-order gene chain talent.

Therefore, Lu Xiaohua was also fortunate to get the opportunity to become a Purple Moon Warrior under the premise of becoming a scientist.

But Lu Xiaohua was not happy, she still wanted to become a Purple Moon Warrior.

Because there is a past in her heart that cannot be forgotten no matter what, this past makes her not want to be a technologist, but only to become a Purple Moon Warrior.

Gene chain talent is limited, but can mechanical talent make up for it? This is something that Lu Xiaohua often thinks about?

And fortunately, she really came up with a way to make up for the lack of gene chain talent, but there is still a long way to go....

But so what? She must move forward firmly!

Choosing to follow Tang Ling is like looking at a ray of hope beside him, shining on himself, and firming himself.

This time she went to sea and Lu Xiaohua tried her best to fight for it, and in view of her special status, Safe City still gave her a place.

After all, the sooner she becomes a first-order Purple Moon Warrior, her mechanical talent and ability will be even better, because the Purple Moon Warrior's ascension is all-encompassing, including the improvement of the brain.

In addition, there is no way for the small safe city to bring three resources for Lu Xiaohua to be promoted and ensure her promotion, so this is not a bad opportunity.

"It's just.... The felt hat is missing. Lu Xiaohua was a little irritated and threw the gear aside, and the gear slipped and rolled down.

But there was no response from below, and no one picked up the rolling gear for her.

There are almost no others on her boat except for the few women who take care of her life, Lu Xiaohua's personality is introverted and silent, and she doesn't like to be lively.

"In fact, every day people go missing and die. That's what inevitably happens when you choose to sail, so why should I care so much? Lu Xiaohua didn't care about the gear that rolled down, just looked at the fainter and fainter sunset in the distance, and began to talk to herself.

She didn't talk nonsense, after getting out of the safety line, there would indeed be accidents among teenagers every day.

The sea does not pity geniuses, and if you go in search of resources, you are bound to encounter danger, and beyond Tommy's safety line, powerful beasts are everywhere.

Even under normal circumstances, they operate on their own turf. But that's just the general situation.

To add insult to injury, there was no good news, as none of the boats had found any resources for promotion.

The large fleet led by the Harvest was safe.

Tang Ling had decided to tie all the boats together and move forward, after Tang Ling killed Omir and disappeared.

Dongyang, who leads the harvest number, strictly enforces this rule.

Once you encounter a dangerous area, you must gather all the ships and tie them together.

They are protecting these relatively weak grassroots, and they have even distributed a lot of resources down.

These fierce beast meat came from nowhere, but the grassroots are very happy, even if the Great Voyage did not find the resources for promotion this time, but these fierce beast meat can help them improve a lot.

"But, that's not what I wanted. Felt hats think the same way, right? How could he have disappeared? Lu Xiaohua really didn't want such a comfortable voyage, she was very disappointed, and there was no one to tell except for the felt hat.

She thought, maybe after the disappearance of that ambitious Tang Ling, everything can only be like this?

At this time, a semi-finished gear appeared in front of Lu Xiaohua's eyes with one hand.

"It's very good, I'm afraid it's a pity to throw it away like this, right?"

At the same time, a familiar voice also sounded in Lu Xiaohua's ears.
