In the evening, the setting sun gradually sinks into the deep and boundless black sea.

A lone seagull glides against the surface of the sea, occasionally making a crisp chirp. In that afterglow, the deep blue water rippled with a golden sheen, and from time to time brought a small wave.

There is a lazy scene between the sea and the sky, like a beautiful woman who has just woken up, sitting there quietly, showing a faint smile to you. Time seems to be stuck in this moment, trying to keep this beautiful picture.

However, in this vast sea, tranquility and beauty always come with a silent danger......

The next moment, a column of water suddenly burst out on the calm sea, and the violent eruption was like detonating a bomb in the water, making a muffled sound of "bang".

At the same time, a silvery-white marlin with barbed fins broke through the water, opened its mouth full of sharp teeth in the splash, and fiercely bit the low-flying seagull!

The lone bird had no time to fly, and in its young eyes, only larger and larger shadows remained......

At this moment, the screech of a sharp blade cutting through the air suddenly sounded from the side. Only a soft "whoosh" sound was heard, and a harpoon pierced the marlin in mid-air! The harpoon had a translucent thread attached to it, which tightened upwards after the marlin fell into the sea. Moments later, the several-kilogram marlin was towed onto a mottled old fishing boat.

The fishing boat was about twenty meters long, made entirely of steel, and had a bumpy and rusty shell. The deck is littered with miscellaneous items, including motors, cables, wooden boxes, wrenches and other tools, as well as household garbage such as beer bottles, cigarette butts, and confetti......

Outwardly, this is a deep-sea fishing boat.

Since the Fourth World Nuclear War, marine life has evolved (or mutated) in order to adapt to increasingly serious nuclear contamination, as it did hundreds of millions of years ago. As they evolved, the sea gradually became a forbidden area for humans.

But where there are people, there will be pioneers! They are a group of deep-sea fishermen who are not afraid of life and death, brave the deep sea, and feed on ferocious mutated creatures. Of course, their motives don't have to be so noble......

Among them, some deep-sea fishermen, in addition to occasional fishing, often make cameo appearances as pirates......

They are a group of heavy criminals who loot everywhere, are repeatedly wanted around the world, and have a lot of blood debts. The land has long been unable to contain their sinful hearts, so they can only wander the sea, hiding from the omnipresent pursuers.

The man who shot the harpoon and hunted marlin was that kind of person. The bounty offered by the local government councils for him has been as high as hundreds of gold coins.

His name is Xia Yihan, and he is a middle-aged man of medium height, slightly chubby, and a scumbag beard. He is the captain of this deep-sea fishing vessel, with a first mate, an accountant and seven sailors. Originally, he was not called Xia Yihan, but another name. One day, he flipped through the novel (ancient online text) in his spare time, and suddenly blessed his soul, like an old monk having an epiphany, and found that his name was too cheesy.

So, he gathered all his subordinates, announced that his name was Xia Yihan, and generously explained, "If you have different opinions, you can put them forward, and the brothers will discuss them together." ”

At that time, a sailor came out in the crowd and made a serious suggestion.

Outcome......

The sailor was thrown overboard, where he was said to have died a miserable death, being bitten by thousands of piranhas in turn......

However, the next day, there was still a sailor who accidentally called his wrong name. The sailor was soon thrown overboard, where he was said to have died a horrible death, being bitten by thousands of sharks in turn......

"How's my marksmanship?" With one hand at the waist and the other with the tail of a marlin, the captain asked a man of the same age with fair skin, a well-proportioned body, and gold-rimmed glasses.

"Do you need to talk about that? The leader's marksmanship is very good! According to what the book says, it is a hundred steps through Yang, and there is no false hair! When the white-faced man spoke, he had a sharp male duck voice, which was a bit unmasculine and unmasculine. His name is Wu Congyun, and he used to be an elementary school teacher, and it is said that he was forced to get on this thief ship, and finally he couldn't get off......

"Really? Really? "My heart is like a pearl of the sea."

"What do pearls have to do with sincerity? Don't go around scolding me, be careful that I throw you down. The captain looked threatening.

"The pearls are all hairy!" Wu Congyun explained, "This is an old saying in our hometown. ”

"Really?" "Yes." "Really?" "Absolutely."

At this moment, a slightly taller, fat, muscular big fat man in a white vest came over and said to the captain who was frowning and thinking about the problem, "Head, it's almost time to Luoyan Town." ”

"Well, that's good." The captain nodded.

"And then?" The first mate rolled his eyes and asked. His name is Fat Cat, and he is the first mate of the ship, and he is also the captain's companion brought from his hometown. His family runs a grocery store, so he eats a lot of snacks and does a lot of work, so he has such a fat and strong body. He has a lot of strength and is said to be able to lift a barrel of olive oil with one hand. However, no one has witnessed this matter for the time being.

"What? What else can you do besides calling at a port? Wu Congyun shouted in a sharp voice.

"I'm asking the leader, not you." The first mate crossed his hands over his chest and said in an unkind tone. The two of them look down on each other, one thinks the other is stupid, and the other thinks that the other is demonic, so they often pinch each other.

"Don't make any noise! Throw you into the sea again! Docking, eating, drinking, pickling girls! The captain said with a heartfelt voice.

"Chief, you're wise and martial!" Wu Congyun stretched out his thumb and called exaggeratedly. The first mate glanced at the kobold strategist, rolled his eyes again, and turned back to the cockpit.

Half an hour later......

In the distance, the outline of the land gradually appeared, and a towering lighthouse could be faintly seen, flickering faintly.

In the eyes of the pirates, this lighthouse that glows like a bar girl beckoning to them......

Their hearts have flown to a bar called "Giant Wooden Wine Barrel" in Luoyan Town. The owner of the bar, now wearing an apron and humming a little tune, carried a large wooden barrel half a person high, squeezed the back door sideways, and poured the bucket full of water into the pigsty.

"Feed people as pigs, and pigs as people." Looking at the pigs competing for food in the pigsty, the bar owner couldn't help but sigh. This sentence has fully exposed his mentality of cooking and cooking......

After pouring the water, the owner returned to the store. It's a small bar, medium in size among the hundreds of bars in Rakyan Town, and can feed twenty to thirty big men at the same time.

Walking into the bar, the owner picked up a rag and began to wipe the glass. After a while, he rubbed the glass crystal clear. It's hard to imagine that this rag wiped the table, the chairs, the bar, and even the leather boots, and could wipe the wine glass so polished without washing......

After cleaning the bar, the boss hummed a little song and began to check the ale. This ale wine is the guarantee of business, and the sign of the bar must not be sloppy. The boss gently shook the oak barrel like a lover, allowing the ale and medical alcohol to mix well.

At this moment, the door of the bar suddenly opened. The boss was doing something wrong, so he was naturally frightened. He hurriedly stood up, but saw that the person who had come was a traveler who was in the dust, wearing a pullover robe, and could not see his face clearly. He breathed a sigh of relief, if the group of pirates who ate people and didn't spit out bones saw him shaking the barrel, he would surely guess that he had mixed water and medical alcohol into the ale. When the time comes, he will probably be carried to the bow of the boat and thrown into the deep sea to feed the fish.

After calming down, the boss looked at the strange traveler and asked, "Welcome to the giant wooden wine barrel, do you want to eat or stay overnight?" ”

"Eat, stay overnight, and preferably let me push the locomotive into the room." The traveler replied lightly.

Looking at the traveler's dusty appearance, a trace of doubt flashed in the boss's heart. Luoyan Town is the northernmost part of the Northern Wilderness Continent and the coldest place in winter. At this time, there are generally no people from the south to the north, only those who go to the south to seek warmth, and how can they be frozen from the north. Therefore, there have been no unfamiliar faces in Luoyan Town for a long time. It is not difficult to guess that this traveler must have committed an accident and fled here to take refuge. However, the boss is just guessing. He didn't mind entertaining criminals, because the last thing that was lacking in Luoyan Town was criminals......

"Yes, but for an additional silver coin." The boss said.

The traveler nodded, then sat down in the corner, and asked for a cup of hot water, a beef stew, and a whole piece of toast.

Dozens of minutes later, the boss prepares the food and brings it to the traveler's table.

"Guest, where are you from?" The boss sat down across from the traveler and started a casual conversation. Although it's dinner time, bar guests usually arrive at nightfall. So he had nothing to do, and there was only one customer in the bar anyway, so he just sat down and chatted for a while.

"South." The traveler replied simply. The concept of the South is too broad, and the boss knows that the other party will not say it too clearly, and of course he will not continue to ask. After all, most of the people who come here can't stay in the central part of the country.

"Awesome." The boss gave a thumbs up and said, "It's not easy to come from the south in such a cold weather." ”

"Hmm." The traveler took a sip of hot water, exhaled, and sighed, "It's cold." ”

The boss laughed heartily and said, "Young man, this is the northernmost and coldest place in the Northern Wilderness. ”

"Will it be colder further north?" The traveler asked.

"Of course, but further north is the Black Sea, and you want to go to sea?"

"Hmm." The traveler said, "I haven't been there, so I want to go all the way north to see the outside world." ”

"After the Black Sea is the Snowy Night Ice Field, which used to be the Fikris Mountains, then to the north is the Great Ice Ocean, then to the Far North, and finally to the end of the world."

"Have you been?" The traveler stopped his knife and fork and asked curiously.

"When I was young, I went to the Snow Night Ice Field, and at that time I went with a few brothers, and we wanted to catch the snow bear, but in the end the bear was not caught, and two brothers died." The bar owner sighed and said, "I haven't been further north, and even the snowy ice field is a place where humans can't survive, let alone further north." Young man, life is precious, if it's just for fun, don't go too far. ”

"Thank you." The traveler said.

"The snowy ice field is a place where there is no sunlight, except for a few months of the year, most of the time it is night, you can't see your fingers, and there are glaciers as far as the eye can see, so it's hard to tell the direction."

"How can we cross the Black Sea?" The traveler interjected.

"Huh?" The boss was stunned at first, then frowned, and said, "You want to cross the sea this season, won't you be crazy......"
