Volume 3 The End of the World Section 15 Swimming

Zhao Linglong raised her slender index finger and pointed out the location of the target on the chart. Both captains were shocked and looked at each other. The location Zhao Linglong refers to is the small island that was rumored to have been evacuated by the garrison some time ago. They originally wanted to go there to try their luck, but after listening to Zhao Linglong's statement, they didn't want to go......

Seeking advantage and avoiding harm is the basic principle of deep-sea fishermen, not to mention that they are deep-sea fishermen who often make guest appearances as pirates.

"Give me a lifeboat, I'm going back." Captain Xia Yihan said simply.

"I signed up to be a sailor." Captain Feng Yun echoed.

"Are you men?" Zhao Linglong asked contemptuously.

"Does this have anything to do with men?" "yes, does it matter?" The two captains asked each other rhetorically.

"Look at people, this is a man." Zhao Linglong pointed to the iron slag and said.

Iron Slag, who had been holding his chest and lowering his head, seemed to hear someone talking about himself, opened his eyes blankly, and after seeing the situation clearly, he grinned and said, "I'm sorry, I fell asleep just now." ”

"You ......" Zhao Linglong suddenly felt an inexplicable dizziness, covered her forehead, and fell weakly on the back of the chair.

Captain Xia Yihan took the opportunity to step forward and hug Zhao Linglong's thin waist, pointed at Captain Feng Yun and said, "Look at you, little traitor, you have made everyone stunned." ”

"Is she seasick?" Captain Feng Yun argued.

"Seasickness? You'll have to lie down for a while. The captain said with concern. Zhao Linglong pushed him away and staggered to his feet. The captain cheekily rubbed over and whispered something in her ear. I don't know what he said, but it didn't take long to amuse Zhao Linglong. Afterwards, he diligently helped Zhao Linglong back to the captain's room to rest......

"Damn, this will be able to pick up girls, it's really not a thing." Captain Feng Yun sighed to himself while peeling potatoes, "Shouldn't you sell us again?" ”

Iron Slag looked at the nautical chart on the table, and there was some information marked next to the target island.

- Reinhardt City (No. 5) 19th Garrison in Golden Bay, Dr3706-11-01 to the Black Sea station.

- Stinger gene breeding? Variant gram/bulk test? Regenerative Hormone Research?

— Crescent Alliance Dr3709-01-15.

Looking at the pile of unfamiliar terms, Tie Slag scratched his hair and asked Captain Feng Yun if he understood. The latter raised his head, looked at the charts, and said, "I've heard of the stinging bugs, but I'm not impressed by anything else." ”

Feng Yun said that a few years ago, he met a group of people from the Central Continent. Listening to them, there is a very troublesome heterotopic creature in the Middle Continent, which can shoot sharp insect stingers and is very fecund, which has threatened the survival of humans.

Therefore, at the strong request of the "Human Alliance", the core organization of the Central Continent, the Temple sent the "Dawn Expeditionary Force" to assist the Central Continent in cleaning up the spiny insects. However, in addition to sweeping away the thorns, the Dawn Expeditionary Force also swept away the so-called infidels.

Originally, the Central Continent was a battlefield between humans and the heteroplane, and it needed to be unified with the outside world, so it was less affected by the temple and relatively free. There are many religious factions, and there are even strongholds of some wormed mutants. However, since the arrival of the Dawn Expeditionary Force, the balance of the Central Continent has been broken, and many organizations have been forced to leave the Central Continent and go to the Far East and the Northern Wilderness.

The group of people Feng Yun spoke of were the remnants of a small sect. Their stronghold was burned down by the Dawn Expeditionary Force, and most of the cultists were executed, leaving only a handful of people who fled to the town of Luoyan by boat.

"You seem to be off topic." Iron Slag reminded.

"No, I'm illustrating the dangers of stinging bugs." Feng Yun explained.

"You're talking about the dangers of the Dawn Expeditionary Force?" Iron Slag said.

"Anyway, they're all about ......," Feng Yun said.

"It seems that you have some resentment with the temple." Iron Slag asked tentatively. Alice's results from scanning Feng Yun were:

[Has a mutant gene fragment of worming, there is no similar mutant gene fragment in the database, the ability of worming is unknown, and the combat effectiveness is assessed as intermediate level of brass, with an accuracy rate of 58%]

"I'm an insect, of course I'm dissatisfied with the Temple, those fanatical believers who are idle all day long and have nothing to do, will find us trouble, can I not hate them?" Feng Yun replied bluntly. Normally, wormed mutants will hide their true identity. However, he had already been scanned by the iron slag locomotive, and knowing that his identity was exposed, there was nothing to hide.

However, identity is one thing, ability is another. Each bugged mutant is tight-lipped about their buggification abilities, and won't be easily known unless it's necessary. After all, there is still the possibility of wormed mutants robbing each other of their abilities.

However, some insectification abilities cannot be hidden, such as some common basic abilities, such as antification muscles (insectization power), pump circuit (insectization agility), insect compound eyes (insectization vision), limb regeneration (recovery ability), beetle endurance (insect endurance), beehive reproduction (reproductive ability), etc., these basic types of insect ability, mutant gene fragments are not far apart, and they are all available in the database of gene scanners, as long as you find a highly consistent gene chain node, you can directly judge it.

In addition, Rick's insect transformation ability is ant muscles, and once he uses this ability, the skin of his whole body will turn crimson, which can be directly judged with the naked eye. However, there are always two sides to the story, and the more easily recognizable the worming ability, the less attractive it is.

Most bugged mutants don't have a basic ability. Because there is a certain risk associated with every genetic plunder, few people are willing to take such a risk to fuse basic abilities. In addition, the basic ability changes the body relatively largely, and having two basic abilities at the same time will greatly increase the possibility of the collapse of the gene chain.

It's like Rick's ant-like muscles, he just gives it away for nothing, and he won't ask for iron slag. While increasing your strength for a short period of time is somewhat helpful in battle, it doesn't have much impact on overall combat power. No matter how great the strength of the human race is, it is no bigger than the mecha (except for the perverts of the Holy Order). Just boosting strength doesn't do much use. Integrating this ability, it is better to play doping directly.

Feng Yun's insect transformation ability was at least rare, and Iron Slag was very interested in it. However, he was not motivated by genetic predation, but by the curiosity of fellow insects.

"Hmm." Iron Slag nodded and said, "No one can decide their birth and mutation. ”

"That's right! It's innate, why do they think we are heretics, we are all human beings and we shouldn't discriminate against each other. Feng Yun sighed.

We? These two words flashed by, and Iron Slag couldn't help but glance at Feng Yun, the other party mentioned it twice in a row just now, whether he was referring to all the insects, or alluding to the two of them.

"What are your worming abilities? Show it off. Iron Slag ordered.

"This ......" Feng Yunkou stared at the iron slag dumbfounded, he didn't expect him to suddenly turn his face and ask such a terrible question.

"Don't you want to?" Iron Slag asked, grappling the hilt behind his back.

"Wait...... I say...... I said......" Feng Yun hurriedly dropped the knife and potatoes, stood up and took two steps back, and then fell on all fours, half-lying on the deck.

Iron Slag was about to ask him what he was doing, but he heard him shout, kicked his legs hard, and with a "bang", it ejected like a cannonball, and rushed straight to a height of more than ten meters before falling.

"Fleas?" Iron slag couldn't help but think. Feng Yun's posture and movements, combined with his short and fat body and bulging belly, except that his legs are not long enough, he is like a flea.

After landing on the ground, Feng Yun patted the dust on his hands and said, "Flea bounces, it's not much use." ”

"Not bad." Iron Slag sincerely admired, if you use this ability to steal things, it will definitely be first-class, at least when you steal compressed cookies that day, you can jump over the power grid in one fell swoop.

Feng Yun smiled awkwardly, sat down and continued to peel potatoes. After a while, the captain returned to the deck with a spring breeze on his face, patted Feng Yun on the shoulder, and said to Iron Slag, "I heard that there are many good things on that island, we should try our luck." ”

Feng Yun glanced at the captain with disdain, and then said to the iron slag, "Look, he sold us again." ”

"Isn't it said that there are a lot of valuable instruments on the island, and it can be sold for money if they are dismantled, and maybe they can be installed on ships, isn't it?" The captain said.

"What's in it for me?" Iron Slag asked the most important question, and Feng Yun immediately echoed, "Yes, what good do I have." ”

Obviously, iron slag does not need money, because there is no place to spend money on the way to the end of the world.

"It is said that as far as I know, if you want to cross the snowy ice field, you need at least a snowmobile full of supplies." After that, the captain made a comprehensive analysis.

The Snowy Night Ice Field is a place with a very strange climate, accompanied by the phenomenon of polar day and night all year round. However, it is not possible to refuel in a no-man's land. As a result, all motorized devices are solar-charged.

Travelers in the ice fields usually open their solar umbrellas during the day to recharge their batteries and move at night. Hearing this, Iron Slag nodded, he did plan it this way.

However, in the snowy winter months, the icefields will always be in a polar night, with only a few hours of sunlight per day. As a result, it is impossible to recharge effectively and can only rely on the fuel reserves. So, if the iron slag wants to cross the ice field during this season, it needs to prepare enough supplies, which cannot be carried by a locomotive.

In addition, the captain will also go to the snowy ice field to hunt snow bears, and they can take care of each other on the way. His plan was to try his luck on the island first, and if he could find something valuable, he would go to "Iceland" to sell it, and collect the supplies needed to cross the ice fields.

"Hmm." Iron Slag nodded, agreeing with the captain's statement. Moreover, he can't take a boat in vain, which is not in line with his principles of life.

"What about me? What's in it for me. Seeing that the iron slag was convinced, Feng Yun hurriedly asked.

"You?" The captain grinned and said, "If things go well, you can take this ship to Iceland and continue to be your chef." However, if things don't go your way, you might have to swim back. ”
