Part.25

"In fact, because of the war, many people ......"

"One of my rare friends, Yakoma...... I used to think of him as my own brother, but now we haven't seen each other for four years. Xie Sheng Haiyin lowered his head, continuing to look selfless, and his tone was sometimes hurried and sometimes slow to tell his story.

Xia, who had been embarrassed and silent, was interrupted by him when she was rarely able to interject and say a word just now. A stiff smile spread across her face, and compassion rose in her heart.

"Why, you have to ask why?"

"Huh? I, I didn't ask......" This made Thea suddenly fall into a dilemma, and her face flushed. He was obviously talking to himself—even if he was talking to himself—and suddenly asked himself, whether he listened or not? To answer or not to answer?

"It's all because of the World Tree, it's all because of the World Tree, it's all because of the World Tree......"

Before and after, Xie Shenghai repeated the song no less than five times. And when he read the first sentence, Xia's face turned pale with astonishment. She pretended to be calm on the surface, but inside she was chaotic: what did he mean by that? Is there hatred in the middle? What kind of hatred is it? What do I have to do?

"It's all because of the World Tree, it's all because of the World Tree......"

"Crab, Mr. Crab?"

"It's all because of the ...... of the World Tree"

"Mr. Crab Baby!"

"Ahh Xie Shenghai raised his eyes suddenly, his gaze glazed over, and there was no light to see.

Apparently, he probably came to his senses. And he has to completely fall into an embarrassing dilemma. At this moment, Xia had to put down her chopsticks, sit upright and face Xie Shenghai, and be fully prepared to deal with the next situation.

"Thea, what did I just say?" The air was quiet for two seconds, and Xie Shenghai's mood also fell again. He smiled sourly, as if there were stars twinkling in his eyes.

"No, I didn't hear anything...... although Xia herself has the power to stand on the stand of the World Tree to confront Xie Shenghai, but now she is the only one in such a place, and he has kindly taken him in for a whole day. So she ignored her conscience, put aside all the arguments, and chose to deal with his topic with her own standpoint.

"I'm sorry, Thea."

It was the second time in a short day that Thea had heard him say this. The apology seems to be there, but the danger hidden in the words is even more terrifying. She couldn't figure out the meaning, and with her brain straightening, it was even harder to guess than to ascend to the sky.

Xie Shenghai blinked his empty and blank eyes, staring at his feet on the concrete floor in a daze.

"Mr. Crab Child, you ......" Xia used the most tactful tone, and at the same time expressed the emotions on her face as much as possible, in order to gain his trust.

"No, let's eat - that, it looks like someone told me to be outside, I'll go out and have a look." Xie Shenghai exhaled, as if relieved of the past. He suddenly got up, then turned and walked out of the courtyard.

The scene in front of Thea's eyes gradually became trance as his distant back faded, and finally the world was left with a dense and colorful dreamscape.

Outside the yard.

"Shenghai, hey, Shenghai?"

After walking out of the door, Xie Shenghai saw that the person calling him outside the door was Henier. Jace Fu. He looked at Fu Jace intently, frowned, and replied in a low voice, "Fu Jace? I'm here, why did you wake up so early today? ”

"It's still too early by this time," Fu Jace put his palm on the fence and smacked his lips boredly, "Go and see, there's something going on on the river!" This time it's a serious matter! ”

"What's going on on the river?" Xie Shenghai opened the gate of the courtyard, and only then did he see that Fu Jiesi was already in an anxious state. However, he didn't seem to mean to walk in, but simply came to report the news.

"The wreckage of Lao Jia and Lao Meng's fishing boat has floated back, and it is all covered in blood!" Fu Jace deliberately said that the situation was serious. In fact, he didn't see blood, only a cloth shoe, but this was enough to conclude that Lao Jia and Lao Meng had an accident.

"What, Lao Jia and Lao Meng?" When Xie Shenghai heard this, his eyes widened in surprise.

"yes!" Fu Jace nodded worriedly, anxious.

"I remember that I saw Lao Meng the day before yesterday, this ......" Xie Shenghai's heart couldn't help but tremble violently, he put one palm on the fence post, his eyes turned to the ground in despair, thinking in his heart.

"Could it be that the Avengers of the Deep Sea did it, Shenghai?" Fu Jace looked left and right, and only cautiously guessed when he saw that no one was passing on either side of the road.

"You don't want to shift all the blame to them, do you?" Xie Shenghai raised his gaze and exhaled heavily. Thinking back to the scene last night, a xenoinfected person (barracuda crab monster) killed a deep sea avenger is still vivid and unforgettable.

"The ship's board and everything are rotten."

"Okay, Jace Fu, you wait for me to clean up, and I'll go to the river right away." Without waiting for Fu Jiesi to describe the scene, Xie Shenghai simply explained two sentences, intending to send him away.

Fu Jace glared, catching a flash of unnatural brilliance in Xie Shenghai's eyes. He didn't think much of it, so he replied, "Okay, I'll go back and continue to help." ”

"Hmm." Xie Shenghai nodded, then turned and walked back.

"Remember to hurry up!"

"Good!"

When he was about to walk in the door, Xie Shenghai could still hear a shout from afar after Fu Jie Si left. Needless to say, it happened very suddenly and in a hurry - he did go to see it right away.

Now the situation in the South Island is getting worse day by day, and the Avengers of the Deep Sea are also appearing more frequently than before, and even other mutant monsters have appeared: zombie infected, xeno-infected......

If this continues, when will it be a head?

Xie Shenghai thought as he crossed the threshold and sat back in his chair, grabbing his chopsticks and preparing to continue eating.

"Hiccup~ Haw, let's haw, Mr. Crab Shenghai, I've finished eating." Thea was like someone who was fine, her face glowing with satisfaction, her little hands rubbing her round belly, and she hiccuped very unladylikely.

"That's all?" Xie Shenghai was stunned for a moment, and noticed that the dishes on her side didn't move, but just finished drinking the rice soup.

"Well, people have to stay in shape, hehe."

"Let's chirp, ......" Xie Shenghai tried to squeeze a little smile on his face, and responded silently.

"Hee-hee." Thea blinked, and the smile on her face faded from it. Looking at Xie Shenghai still eating seriously, he fell into the abyss with a "bang" in his heart.

Taking advantage of this time, she reached out and hesitantly took out the stack of new coins from her bag, and only said silently in her heart: Goodbye, Mr. Crab Child.

.

Although the sky was still getting brighter, and there was still a dark silence on the river and even on the beach, it was already full of almost the entire village.

Strange things happened one after another, today it is not this disappearance, tomorrow it is that death. Looking at the wreckage of the fishing boat, which had been harpooned by Old Man Green and dragged to shore with the help of several other men with thick arms, the two women could no longer hold back their tears on the spot.

Wang Qiang was also awakened by the sound of summons early in the morning behind the house, and was now slowly walking through the coconut grove to the river.

"What's going to do like this...... If you can't fish anymore, will you have to move to the Cadgarh Self-Defenses? The bearded man stood on the edge of his fishing boat, staring fixedly at the rays of the sun as the sea and the sky met.

"If we want to enter the city, we can only dream - do you think the people in the Cadegar Self-Defense City will accept us? It's just whimsical! In the crowd, a man with long and sloppy hair casually answered a sentence, intentionally or unintentionally. Soon I saw him holding his arms and hurriedly disappearing into the crowd.

"Didn't you offend the god of the sea?"

"Poseidon? Hey, don't deceive people, what age is it now, and the god of the sea is still there! ”

"But everyone has had accidents one after another, which is too weird, isn't it?"

Listening to the conversation between the two men squatting by the river, Fu Jace gritted his molars and clenched his fists. He looked up to the other side of the river, and soon saw the sneaky old man in the figure of ten people standing on his waist—as if he was hiding from something.

"Jace Fu, you're here too?"

A sudden kind voice interrupted Fu Jiesi's train of thought, and he suddenly turned around and saw Wang Qiang walking politely towards him. "Ah, Wang Qiang."

"What's going on up front?" Wang Qiang held his head high and pointed with his chin at the two crying women on the river, half dazed.

"Alas, isn't this Lao Jia and Lao Meng having an accident?" Fu Jace replied with a frown.

"What?" Wang Qiang's eyes widened, and then he recovered. He put one hand in his waist and sighed to the end with a sullen breath: "It's really an evil door." ”

"Yes, it's been a lot of evil lately." Fu Jace didn't know what Wang Qiang meant, but when he walked over, his face was ill-intentioned, as if he was going straight to something.

"So how did you get it now, and no one wanted to figure it out?"

"They're talking about it, you go and make it up."

On the river in front, the two men who were squatting on the ground were still talking about the question just now.

The man on the left said in a serious and serious manner: "If you want me to say, this Baozhun has encountered an undercurrent or a typhoon......

When he said about the typhoon, the crowd of onlookers turned around and left helplessly.

"Nonsense, what kind of typhoon! If there's a typhoon, won't the big guys feel it? ”

"That's it, it's pure nonsense! It's just a bear! ”

"Yes, he's a bear!"

"Bear thing!"

Those few people gathered together, and in a hurry, they began to spray people indiscriminately. Wang Qiang crossed his waist with one hand around the outside of their circle, with a complicated expression on his face that was difficult to understand. He grinned and bared his white teeth, and listened silently.

Listening to the conversation between them, the old man standing on the side suddenly recalled the scene when he was attacked by a mysterious monster when he went out fishing with Wang Qiang a few days ago......

He really thought it was just a whale, but if it was, why didn't he jump out on the water? If it's a shark, it's too big, isn't it?

Just thinking of this, Lao Xian shuddered, turned around and squeezed back into the middle of the crowd.

"You don't spray me! If my analysis doesn't make sense, then how do you say they got into trouble? Yes? ”

"Maybe there's an unknown creature hiding in your seas."

"Ahh Who is it? ”

A female voice like a warbler rose in everyone's ears.

Fu Jace was startled, and hurriedly turned his gaze to the direction where the voice came.

"What?" Wang Qiang also heard the voice, so he grinned curiously and turned to look back.

Over there, the bearded man and the old man Green and others also shifted their heads one after another, looking at the coconut grove blankly.

"I'm probably going to let someone down, but I guess forget it."

Everyone once looked at the woman with colored eyes, and their jaws straightened in amazement. There was dust floating in the air, and there was a sense of maturity in her.

"Ahh Fu Jace's eyes widened and he recognized the woman at a glance. He stretched out his finger and shouted in shock: "You, you are the woman who came to find Xie Shenghai the day before yesterday!" ”

After Wang Qiang heard this, he turned his gaze to Fu Jiesi's side.

"yes, it's me."

Yeon-hee stood in the middle of the crowd with a tired face, as if she hadn't slept well last night. With one hand crossed over her waist, she wiped the long hair on her forehead and glanced at everyone. The breeze blowing from the sea gently stirred his long soft black hair, and his eyes were full of light.

"She, what girl is she?" The bearded man over there blinked his eyes and couldn't close his mouth in order.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his voice fell, everyone turned their stunned eyes to him again.

.

"Really?" When Xie Shenghai said this, it was more like asking and answering himself. So much so that Thea didn't put his words in her ears, and stretched her limbs lazily, and made up her mind.

The light in the room gradually brightened, and all the furnishings seemed so comfortable and quiet.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa...... Belch. Xie Shenghai put down the bowl of soup. When he was about to say something more to Thea, he suddenly found that Thea, who was sitting in front of him, was slowly disappearing like air until it disappeared completely.

Could it be that just now, did you dream again??

The smile on Xie Shenghai's face froze, and he pursed his lips and looked at the new coins left by Xia on the corner of the table. He raised his eyes, shook his head, and said to himself, "I really deserve it—not necessarily." ”
