Part.7

"By the way, Xi, where are you from?"

"It's all right, just call me Xi." Yanxi dragged her chin and propped herself up weakly on the corner of the coffee table. She saw several folded old newspapers on the table, with the date: May~June of the 7th year of the Infection War.

All the pots and pans used for stir-frying were transferred to the eaves outside the door by Xie Shenghai. The reason is very simple, that is, it is difficult to exhaust the fumes when frying materials in the house, and the walls will be smoked and dyed ugly after a long time.

Outside the door, the crisp sound of cutting materials sounded crisply, which was very pleasant.

Yanxi closed her eyes, as if she was pondering the question just now. She responded softly, "Not impressed." ”

"Is it amnesia?"

"Did you break the strings in your head?"

"Ahh I'm sorry......" Xie Shenghai hurriedly poked his panicked head inside, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yanxi's rapid return to calm.

"I can't think about the past again and again. There is only one purpose in mind, and that is to deal with the ultimate dark guy. ”

"What the hell is the ultimate darkness?" Xie Shenghai squatted down and turned on the electric cooker switch.

"I can't describe it." Yanxi opened her eyes, the corners of her eyes drooped, and she simply narrated alone: "You can transform into a human form, but you can't be defeated by the Yuan Energy warriors. It is so strong that in this world, there are almost no enemies. ”

"How is that possible? If it's that powerful, don't forget about our World Tree Organization, we'll definitely take care of them. Xie Shenghai glanced into the room with a puzzled face, and arrived disappreciatively.

"The World Tree Organization is already unable to defend itself, and it is up to us to defeat the ultimate enemy." Yanxi deliberately made the situation more serious.

"We?" Xie Shenghai frowned.

"Yuan Neng Warrior."

When Xie Shenghai heard this, he smiled wrecklessly. He asked, "So you came to the South Island to defeat the Ultimate Darkness, right?" ”

"Didn't I tell you before?"

"Yes. Then I think about it, this ......" Xie Shenghai walked into the house with a comforting brightness and stood in front of Yanxi.

This strange behavior caught Yanxi off guard, who knew that he suddenly turned around and walked to the back room, and then grabbed a green onion and went straight to the goal to return outside.

"What's this?" Yanxi began to be a little unable to sit still, she simply stood up, walked outside to see Xie Shenghai cooking, and asked.

"I've never heard of it, and I've never seen it." Xie Shenghai rinsed the green onion leaves on the water pipe, and pretended to be relaxed while thinking: "In the South Island area, except for the frequent appearance of deep sea avengers recently, there is no other sign of monster activity. ”

"Avengers of the Deep Sea......" Yanxi's lips squirmed slightly.

"Huh?" Xie Shenghai turned his head to look at her, his face surprisingly calm.

"Then again, Shenghai, what kind of monster is that Avenger of the Deep Sea?" Yanxi wanted to sit on the steps and talk, but when she looked back, she remembered that there were no steps at the door, so she had to turn her head back in embarrassment. It was then that the straw mat began to attract her attention.

"Monster ......" Xie Shenghai looked obviously hesitant, he turned off the water pipe, fixed the green onion on the cutting board and prepared to cut it, explaining: "They are not monsters, but they are not us humans. How? It's just simple...... They can be understood as undersea people. ”

"Undersea people?" After hearing this, Yanxi showed an idiotic smile on her face for some reason. She sat on the stone mill and watched from behind Xie Shenghai.

"Hmm." Xie Sheng Haidian has zero heads and is chopping vegetables. "I don't know much about them," he said. When I first found out, it was four years ago when I first came to the South Island of the Heirs......"

With that, Xie Shenghai unconsciously returned to the scene four years ago.

“…… Framed, in fact, I didn't do anything, but who could believe me in the situation at that time? They didn't even have the evidence, they only wanted to understand the incident in a cursory way, and they pointed all the fingers at me. When Xie Shenghai said this, the sound of catching and cutting radish strips also stopped abruptly.

"......" Yanxi listened quietly and hummed.

"When I left the Northwest camp, I secretly told the colt about my itinerary. But we haven't seen each other since. So after a few twists and turns, I finally came to the South Island of the heir. At that time, the situation here was still calm, and there were no zombie infected people so far. Until one of them, I picked up a strange necklace......"

.

Recall:

There were several in a row, and the sky was in a state of overcast, but there was never a drop of rain.

The sea breeze whistled on the surface of the sea day and night, and the waves crashed on both the west and east coasts. Fishing boats sway under the impact of the flood, and at any moment they are tossed by a terrible wave.

(Xie Shenghai: In order to make a living, I had to venture out to sea in such dangerous circumstances.) If you hadn't been poor, you wouldn't have realized how humble I was back then. ）

Xie Shenghai hurried to the shore with fishing nets in his arms and a single vest.

On the beach, Old Man Green was carrying a harpoon, looking at the waves and sighing. At that time, he was not as old as he is now, and his eyes were oily and shiny, and he was in a very good state of mind.

"Isn't that Shenghai? Hey, Shenghai! Old man Green saw a figure sneaking up on the river, and recognized that person was Xie Shenghai from afar.

"Huh? Uncle Green, you're here too! Xie Shenghai was spotted and stopped laughing vigorously. He had long hair and was sloppy and unenergetic.

"What are you doing here?"

Old Man Green's hoarse voice was immersed in the whistling sea breeze, so that Xie Shenghai paused for half a time and didn't hear clearly. He replied loudly, "I have to go to sea!" ”

"What?" As if he hadn't heard clearly, Old Man Green hurriedly walked in the direction of Xie Shenghai Station. As he walked, he shouted, "You're going to sea at this time?" Brains are in water! ”

"I ......"

"I don't think you want to live anymore!" Old Man Green buzzed his arms angrily, and muttered as he stood in front of Xie Shenghai. He first stretched out his finger and pointed at him, then pointed at the gray sky above the two of them, and warned sharply: "Look at what kind of gas this is, you don't know how strong the wind is on the sea, right?" Come, let me tell you, do you know Lao Liu's big ship? ”

"Aang, I know." Xie Shenghai was stunned during the whole process, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he nodded hurriedly.

"The waves have knocked over! What can you do with that broken ship? I'm not scaring you! When Old Man Green said this, the facial features on his face were as hideous as they were, and they were as scary as they were. The words are concise and sonorous.

Before Xie Shenghai could speak, Old Man Green's eyes widened, and he looked back and forth in front of him as if he were looking at a statue. Finally, he shook his head and muttered, "You can't do this, Shenghai." No......"

"But what can I do, I can't even eat!"

"Then I'll wish you the best of luck! But what about ......" Old Man Green smiled slyly and deliberately cut off the meaning of his words.

"But what?" Xie Shenghai was quite curious, and asked him with his eyes open and a little excited.

"You can buy this from me, because it will bless you with a smooth trip to the sea!" Old man Green pointed a finger, and then took out an old broken bead from his dirty torn jacket pocket, and shook two temptations in front of Xie Shenghai.

“……”

Reality:

"The people in the village like to squeeze you?" Yanxi lowered her voice, clicked twice, and asked calmly. She habitually hugged her arms, and one leg was naturally stretched forward, showing her sister-like temperament.

"It used to be a lot because ...... I think I'm more offbeat, but now it's gone. Well, no. After Xie Shenghai finished pouring the soy sauce, he grabbed the lid of the pot and covered it.

Recall:

(Xie Shenghai: After getting rid of Uncle Green, I still took the risk and embarked on the journey to sea.) Although, at the moment of setting sail, I knew that this time it must be more than lucky...... ）

Rumble!

The waves continued to rise and crackle against the surface of the sea. The water was muddy, the sky was low, and the fishing boats were left alone with the waves.

"E......" Xie Shenghai controlled the oars with great care, stood up, and finally cast a net near the island. In case of an accident, if the boat capsizes, you can escape back to shore.

(Xie Shenghai: I was ...... Maybe it's really a broken brain. He was young, had no experience, and only learned zero fur, so he went out to sea to fish without even turning off his breath. ）

(Yanxi: yes, how could such a gas catch a fish?) ）

(Xie Shenghai: I don't remember exactly, probably because of ...... Because of the compulsion of life...... ）

(Yeon-hee: Oh, I understand.) ）

Rumble!

The wind on the surface of the sea blew stronger and stronger, until the waves rushed ten meters high, forming a huge wall of water and pressing down violently.

"Ahh While rowing the oars, Xie Shenghai, who was driven by the wind and waves, turned around, and the spirit suddenly hit his back, knowing that it was impossible for him to avoid the wall of water again.

He screamed, and was swept off the fishing boat by the waves that swooped down from the air. The fishing net floated in the turbulent water, and the fishing boat was overturned, and he fell straight to the bottom of the sea at a depth of more than 20 meters. I didn't know what to think at the time, but I opened my eyes. The bottom of the water is dimly lit, but the water is unusually clear, and you can see the aquatic plants growing tall and the sea mushrooms that are faintly sticking to the stone walls.

"Goo-goo-goo...... "Xie Shenghai, who didn't even inhale enough air, suddenly realized ......the danger of his current situation when he opened his eyes. He struggled to remember the direction of the island he had just seen, and then swam desperately to the surface.

After holding on for about 30 seconds, Xie Sheng Caihai finally exposed his head to the surface. His initial consciousness was to take a quick breath of air, but a huge wave crashed down, but he didn't take enough oxygen, and he choked on a lot of seawater and fell into the sea.

(Xie Shenghai: The more dangerous the situation, the clearer my brain becomes.) At that time, I knew very well that I was the only one who could save me. So I swam as hard as I could and was even washed up on the reef by the waves. The elbow hit hurt so much that I still can't forget it...... ）

……

When I woke up again, I don't know how much time had passed. Xie Shenghai turned over from the wet waves on the beach, no matter how the waves washed his back and hair, and he didn't know whether it was tears or sea water flowing on his face.

This experience almost killed him.

He endured the pain of his back and elbow being hit on the reef, and pushed himself to his feet, trying to make sense of his situation. This is a reef with no end in sight, and it is also a place in the South Islands, but where do you have to swim to return to the main island?

Rumble!

The wind and waves are blowing, the sea is noisy, and the visibility on the sea surface is very low. If you want to go back, you may have to wait until the wind calms down, or when dawn is approaching, to see what the surrounding islands are.

"That's, ah......" Xie Shenghai bit his lower lip and accidentally noticed a chain half-exposed on the beach next to him. Intrigued, he reached out to scrape the sand until he dug up a necklace set with lake-blue gemstones.

With a faint glimmer of light, Xie Shenghai could see clearly the sparkling luster on the sapphire. It's as even as breathing as it is, and it produces a strange, pleasant sound. Like the chirping of cicadas, and like the afterglow of bells.

"Necklace?" Xie Shenghai pursed his lips and blinked his confused eyes.

(Xie Shenghai: I originally thought this was Ruo, because it was full of craft patterns.) But then I stopped thinking so, and suspected that it was drifting along the sea from a distance - why, you ask? I've tried it many times, and although the necklace has weight, it doesn't melt into the sea, and it never sinks, it never sinks, it ...... forever ）

"Woohoo!"

"Huh?" Xie Shenghai didn't have time to study the necklace in his palm. He looked back and was astonished to see a stone-gray figure emerge from the water, staggering to the shore, and the strange sound it made could be heard from far away.

The sea water was damp and ticking down the vest, and the sound of the wind in Ula Ula lingered in his ears, and the frozen Xie Shenghai did not dare to stand up straight, only cowering in the cold wind.

"Sea ...... Fins...... Woohoo! ”

As the figure got closer and closer, it also made Xie Shenghai's eyes straighter and straighter. He was stunned, and saw clearly that thing was a human, and it was clearly a monster!

"Sea ...... Fins...... Woohoo! ”

Stone gray skin, as if wearing a layer of leather clothing. The facial features are hideous, the eyes are abrupt and scary, and he wears thick and wide long braids.

"Ahh Xie Shenghai was startled, and saw that the monster suddenly sped up and ran towards him, which frightened his whole body, and quickly got up and ran back.
