Volume 1 • Across the Seven Seas [089] The Living Dead

On the sea ahead, a ruined merchant ship was slowly approaching.

Under normal circumstances, merchant ships encounter pirates desperately bypassing and escaping, and stay away, hoping that countless sails will grow on the ship, and even grow wings to fly away.

No merchant ship would approach a strange pirate ship for no reason, unless it was tired.

But this broken merchant ship is obviously coming at them, something is wrong, there must be a ghost!

"Little ones, get up and get ready for battle. ”

Mark got up, glanced at the crowd on the deck, and ordered directly.

He grabbed a knife and put it on his shoulder, slowly walked to the bow of the ship, put one foot on the hip of the goddess statue on the bow of the ship, and bent over to stare at the merchant ship.

Because both sides were heading towards each other, it wasn't long before the two ships were moving closer to each other.

"My lord, help, she's dying. ”

A big fat man hugged a little girl, and when he saw Mark, he cried excitedly.

The little girl's face was pale and purple, her abdomen was bandaged, but there was faint blood oozing out, her arms were hanging weakly, and if she wasn't breathing, she looked like a dead person.

Mark frowned, "We don't have a doctor on the ship, but you are talking about it first, what is going on?"

"My lord, we met the pirates this morning, and many people died, and it was with great difficulty to get rid of the pirates, but this child was stabbed by the other party's spear, my lord, I beg you, save her!" the big fat man explained with a sweat on his head.

Mark thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Let's get on the boat first, your ship is about to sink when it looks like it." ”

"Thank you, sir, thank you. The big fat man said excitedly.

Mark ordered someone to lower the rope ladder, Xiao Yaojin was next to Mark, and whispered: "Brother Mark, this guy is wrong, it's better to be careful." ”

"Oh, what's wrong?" asked Mark, stunned for a moment.

Xiao Yaojin whispered: "If it were you, if you were attacked by pirates in the front, would you still encounter a pirate ship in the back and go for help?

"yes, I said it sounds a little weird, so that's the problem. Mark suddenly realized.

The main reason is that the child's situation does seem to be very critical, and the big fat man's acting skills are also passable, so he didn't notice these problems for a while.

Now that he understands it, he feels that the big fat man is full of problems.

He looked at the place where the rope ladder fell, and the big fat man quickly climbed up with the little girl in his arms, the originally panicked expression on his face gradually converged, and his eyes that had been squinting were slightly opened.

Those small triangular eyes are shrewd and fierce.

"Millie, do it!"

The big fat man put down the little girl in his hand, and the little girl opened her eyes instantly, and then let out a roar.

The little girl, named Millie, has two canine-like fangs, but she is more like a zombie in the East than a vampire in the West.

"Not good!"

Several pirates who were relatively close to Millie had their eyes wide and before they could react, their necks were cut by sharp nails, and they fell unwillingly while holding their necks.

The big fat man laughed wildly: "Pirates, your time of death has come, Millie, kill them all, not a single one will be left!"

Then he saw Pendjess grab Millie's neck with one hand, and Millie couldn't break free of Pendjes's arm no matter how much she struggled.

"Kill us, I'm curious, how are you going to kill us all now!" Mark said slowly as he walked towards the big fat man, with an unhappy expression.

The big fat man looked at Millie dumbfounded, and when he reacted, he immediately raised his hand sweaty and trembled, "My lord, I surrender." ”

Five minutes later, the big fat man and Millie were tied up with hemp rope, and both knelt on the deck.

Mark sat on the recliner and looked at the two of them, and said, "Tell me, why did you attack us, we should have no revenge, right?"

"No grudge, no grudge, my lord, in fact, we are pirate hunters. The big fat man quickly shook his head and explained embarrassedly.

At this moment, Mark almost lost control of his emotions, he was a special pirate hunter, he still wanted to hunt pirates, but who knew that he would be approached by pirate hunters.

The worst thing was the four pirates who died, and they really died in vain.

Of course, these pirates themselves are innocent, so Mark just feels sorry for his 'subordinate-4', but he doesn't think that Millie killed him wrongly.

"What's going on with her?"

After the egg hurt, Mark looked at Millie, and then at the big fat man.

This Millie is very wrong, and may not even be human, after all, it is impossible for humans to have no emotions, and Millie's expression has not changed until now.

The big fat man said with an innocent face: "My lord, in fact, I don't know her well, a few weeks ago, I met Millie when I came out of the town of Matteo, she was having a high fever at the time, I kindly wanted to save her, but in the end, I don't know why, she became what she is now, not only can she fight, but also only listen to me." ”

It was precisely because of Millie's amazing combat effectiveness that he had the idea of being a pirate hunter, who knew that the first time he encountered a pirate, Millie was stabbed in the stomach, and he was so frightened that he quickly ran away, and was almost capsized by the pursuing pirates.

After getting rid of the pirates, he reflected on the fact that the biggest problem was that he exposed his strength too early, so that the pirates didn't let his ship get close at all, and instead used the spear-throwing hand advantage to abuse him and Millie.

So this time he learned to be obedient, first selling the miserable pirate ship, and then going on a killing spree.

Who knows...... There are monsters like Penjes on Mark's ship, and even Millie is defeated at the hands of the other party.

The big fat man felt that he was too difficult, obviously in the town of Mateo, no sailor could beat Millie, how could everything be different after going to sea?

When he explained all the causes and consequences, Mark touched his chin and said excitedly, "In other words, you really met pirates?"

"Yes, yes, I really met a pirate, and I definitely didn't deceive the adults at this point!" the big fat man nodded quickly.

Mark waited for him and said, "Tell me the place and time of the encounter with the pirates, and I'll find a place for you to get off the ship when I go back, as for this kid...... I want to see it!"

Then he skillfully opened the chat group and typed: @霍金斯, captain, there is a child who is suspected of being cursed by some kind, do you want to see it?

On the other side, in the lonely island laboratory, Hawkins was adjusting a small watch, because of Mark's @, his hand only shook slightly, and in an instant, several shots came out of the watch, wrapped his body and waved wildly in the air.

He sighed slightly, then opened the chat group, and after seeing Mark's words, he replied: Start the live broadcast, I'll take a look.

Mark: Okay, I'm going to go live.

In a moment, Hawkins saw that Millie, Mark and the others had never seen zombies, and they didn't even know the concept of zombies, but Hawkins did.

The more he looked at it, the more Millie looked like a zombie, so he replied: Bring the child here, and I'll see what's going on.

After replying, he decisively closed the chat group, frowned and looked at the tentacles that were rolling his legs and climbing up, and the next moment the tentacles seemed to lose their strength and fell to the ground one after another, and he floated to the ground.

Fortunately, it is in the eternal space, otherwise once you are caught by these tentacles, it is really not a simple matter to break free.

However, now he has no intention of continuing to develop exclusive weapons, and is more interested in Millie, after all, Millie is likely to be a legendary zombie.

To be honest, there are many differences between this world and the earth, but there are also many things that overlap.

Hawkins wondered what was causing this coincidence, was it accidental or was there an external force at work?

In ancient times on the earth, there were different sounds for ten miles, different customs for a hundred miles, and the farther away the distance, the greater the cultural differences.

And how far away this world is from the Earth is simply impossible to calculate.

These are two different worlds entirely.

So why is this similarity occurring, is it a coincidence or is it some kind of force at work?

Hawkins shook his head, the answers to these questions, he wanted to know, but he understood that it was impossible to figure it out now, so let's look at Millie's situation first.

After Mark sent Millie into the space portal, Hawkins directly transferred Millie to the Lonely Island Laboratory.

"Hey, there's no smell of a cursed relic. ”

When Hawkins saw Millie, he immediately determined that Millie did not have a cursed relic on her.

Then he began to examine Millie, her vital characteristics, body temperature, blood pressure, and mental ......

Half an hour later, he looked at Millie and sighed slightly, Millie was not a zombie, but a living dead.

To put it simply, she was actually dead, just for some indefinite reason, and became what she is now, but neither her brain nor her soul had a mind at all.

She doesn't have a sense of her own, Hawkins is 100% sure.

"What is it that caused her to become what she is now?"

Hawkins put Millie in the herbarium, thinking to himself that everything has a reason.

He had even collected all the bacteria in Millie's body and examined them, but he didn't find any bacteria that caused this to happen.

Again, she is not genetically capable of doing so.

Next, Hawkins opened the chat group and asked Mark carefully to get more clues.

First of all, Millie became like this after she had a fever, and secondly, Millie only obeyed the orders of the big fat man Kim Dong.

Dead people don't have a fever, so when Jin Dong met Millie, Millie must have been alive, and later became a living dead, as for only listening to Kim Dong's orders, is it related to Kim Dong being her last contact before she died?

Hawkins made a guess in his mind, the problem was that it still couldn't explain Millie's problem.

It's a pity that there are too few clues to know, and Hawkins is not a saint who was born to know, so naturally he can't speculate about Millie's problems.

However, because of curiosity, he directly ordered Mark to set off towards the town of Matteo in the chat group, and when Mark arrived in the town of Matteo, he went over to investigate the field to see if he could find any clues.

Sometimes, big discoveries are often hidden in the subtleties that are inconspicuous.

Millie's problem may be the effect of the cursed relic, but it could also be another force at work.

This requires Hawkins to unravel the mystery and find the truth of the problem.
