"Beijing 。。。。。。" Zhan Feng looked at his friends beside him and smiled, "Why did you notice this too?" ”

"Of course." Tianxiang nodded: "Such an exotic fleet with unknown intentions is actually going to cross the ocean to reach Beijing. The purpose itself is quite problematic. If I'm not mistaken, their purpose is likely to be exactly the same as ours. ”

"You mean。。。。。。 Umbrella? Zhan Feng said with a face full of surprise: "How is this possible? How could they possibly know about the "umbrella"? "How could it not be? Don't forget that I also learned about the existence of the "Umbrella" by chance. Not to mention the fact that the world of 600 years ago had various means of communication. It is impossible for a project of the magnitude of the Asian Federation to go unknown to other countries. In addition, all the earth agencies at that time were involved in the "Pathfinder" program, so it was naturally not unusual to know the secret of the existence of the "Sky Umbrella". ”

Zhan Feng didn't speak, just thought intently. After a while, he said, "What are you going to do?" Let them into Beijing? Or do you want to forcibly detain them? You must know that the order you left for Xia Dong was to kill all the people who entered that area! "Not bad! But the appearance of these exotic people gave me a new idea. Tianxiang smiled and said: "If you can get the exclusive text version of this work, you may not reprint the excerpt without consent, please visit.!" With their help, we may have more supplies in three years...... "What?" Do you want to annex a hunting tribe? Zhan Feng was a little surprised: Are you crazy? I'm afraid they won't agree to your offer at all. They had ships ready to retreat from the sea. If you want to attack with maneuver, in the end, more people will die, and there will be fewer people who will join us. "No, no, no! I never wanted to attack by force from the beginning. Tianxiang hurriedly explained: "I mean." They must have missed the feeling of 6 places very much after sailing at sea for so long. What's more, there is no tangible evidence that their purpose is "sky umbrella". I guess a little temptation can sometimes be more powerful than a weapon。。。。。。 ”

The number of the Bodian fleet was too large, although the facilities of the port of the eastern capital were complete. But it is impossible to dock such a large fleet at one time. Therefore, they can only enter the port in batches. Receive fresh water resupply at the pier. Dongdu is a city with abundant water, and several rivers are within its control, so it is the task of replenishing the drinking water of such a large fleet. It's really nothing for this city.

Several arm-thick rubber hoses were taken out of the dock's pump and pulled up to nearby boats. The tired-looking and chapped-lips crew members rushed to the pipes. Gulping down clear water that was undoubtedly like nectar to them. Then he excitedly dragged the hose into the cabin. Suddenly, there was a distinctly irrepressible ecstasy, mixed with choked weeping, from the huge cabin, which spread to all corners of the docks...... "It seems that they have been short of water for more than a day or two. I don't know how they managed to keep them sailing at sea. All the way to this place. ”

Looking at the chaotic scenes of people fighting for water pipes on the boats, and listening to the sounds of pain and laughter. Zhan Feng sighed with emotion. But he didn't notice the faces of his friends around him. Involuntarily showed a strange smile. Although the Dongdu wharf is quite well equipped, the berths are enough for more than 50 ships to dock at the same time. However, it takes a lot of time to replenish fresh water, and it is quite slow to rely on a few pipes to deliver water in turn. In addition, the long-thirsty Bode people used small boats to transport fresh water back and forth, in order to solve the water shortage on the boat first. So the day goes down. Not a single ship left its current berth. The pumps, which control the flow of fresh water, have not been switched off for a moment.

They were so thirsty. Tianxiang silently watched a tattered sculled boat. It had gone back and forth twice between the two large ships, in order to carry the thick round barrels filled with clean water to the large ships that had not been able to receive water for the time being. The ship was small at a time, but it could only carry six barrels. However, these bulky guys were greeted with unprecedented pomp. The people, who had been suffering from thirst for a long time, could not wait for them to be fully carried onto the ship, and they eagerly pried open the stoppers on the barrels and poured the cool liquid down their throats with an indescribable desire and comfort. A boy of about twelve or thirteen years of age, probably so thirsty that he snatched the head of a thick hose and hurriedly shoved it into his chapped, gaping mouth. Seeing this scene, Tianxiang suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart. He counted the hours second by second, and nearly two minutes had passed, and the gushing water pipe had not yet been pulled out of the boy's mouth. You know, the flow rate of such a thick water pipe is also terrifying. Tianxiang really couldn't imagine how such a thin body could withstand so much water。。。。。。 Soon what he had feared finally came to life. The boy's greedy actions finally caught the attention of the people around him. They were amazed to see that the boy's shriveled belly had somehow swelled into a round ball. It was so big and thick, compared to his thin body, it looked like a slender wooden stick, and a huge lump suddenly appeared from it.

The boy's eyes were bulging, and his breathing was almost stagnant. For a time, the act of greed must be paid at a huge price. I am afraid that even he himself had no idea that his ardent thirst for water would lead to his own death. A ragged woman stumbled through the gap in the crowd and swooped down on top of the boy. Desperately squeezing his belly, which was about to burst, hoping to save his son's life in this way. It's just that. It's too late to do so. After repeated squeezing, a stream of clear liquid also emerged from the boy's gaping mouth. Gradually, it began to become cloudy, and finally finally wisps of reddish blood oozed out。。。。。。。。。。。。

He had drunk so much that his stomach pouch had been shriveled for a long time, and he couldn't bear the sudden pressure. Add to that the never-ending fierce indoctrination. In the end, I had no choice but to explode and burst。。。。。

The boy's violent death caused a moment of calm in the chaotic crowd. The spin is once again in the original scramble. The desire for water has long since made them forget the threat and horror of death. In its place was a madness of desperate desire to get rid of the torment of thirst.

"Inform the local administrators of the city. Let them collect a new batch of water pipes and use the fastest degree to come to the wharf. Let these poor people be liberated! Tianxiang sighed and handed out his orders to the guards beside him. Although he had seen too many deaths, his nerves had almost been numb, but after seeing the boy's extremely miserable death. He still involuntarily moved his heart of compassion... To know. The taste of thirst is far more unbearable than hunger.

The struggle on board continues. Probably stimulated by those companions who advanced to the port to obtain freshwater! The large number of ships remaining moored in the sea could no longer tolerate the meager amount of water that small boats could transport back and forth. There are so many people in each boat, how can a few wooden barrels of water meet everyone's needs? In this way, under the tendency of unbearable torture, the originally neat fleet also became chaotic. They began to squeeze forward in desperation. Just to want to enter the port earlier, the term queue should be familiar to humans. In ancient societies, people often queued up to receive a certain item at a fixed location. Of course, not all people are willing to follow the established rules, and there are always people who want to get more ahead of others. Thereupon. This kind of behavior comes naturally.

The presence of a person in a queue of several hundred people often draws accusations from everyone. However, if there are dozens, dozens, or even more of those who cut the queue at the same time, it will inevitably cause a riot. The end result can only be to attract the attention of the maintainers of order and rely on all kinds of violent means to reorganize the queue to wholeness. But for the many ships anchored in a narrow stretch of water, cutting into the queue is simply a terrible disaster. The chaos was first caused by an iron-clad wooden ship with a tonnage of about 2,000. Judging from the numbers marked with white paint on the side of the ship, the ship number should be 1o7. Or maybe it's because he can't bear that painful thirst on his ship anymore. In any case, the operator of the wooden ship broke away from his group without any accident, and made a swift detour from the flank of the fleet until he reached the queue closest to the port, refusing to come out again. Such an act would naturally provoke fierce protests and rebukes from the many waiting ships. Shouting, scolding, and threatening, all the means at their disposal were used, but the people, tormented by thirst, who had long since lost their minds, simply turned a deaf ear. They instructed Xi to open her cracked lips and lick the blood oozing from it with her dry sticky tongue. The red eyes also seemed to see hope. Use all the actions you can show to show that I want to drink water. It's not just this boatload of people who are thirsty. Coming from afar across the ocean, people are thirsty. Everyone's throats were as hot as if they were on fire. Everyone hopes that at this time, a bowl of cool fresh water can be swallowed in a big gulp, and it will slowly flow down the neck to all the corners of their body that are almost withering。。。。。。

At this time, even if anyone wants to exchange a little fresh water with them with a mountain of delicious food, it is tantamount to a fool's dream. These poor people, whose bodies were almost crushed to jerky, would rather be starved to death than drink before they died. Hence the deviant behavior of the ship 1O7. Of course, there will be (invisible) anger from the other waiters.

The chosen place was the ship 2O6, which was located behind it. Unlike the people who rushed in and cut in the queue, the people on this boat had long been looking at the harbor. When they saw that the pipe gushing with pure water on the shore was about to be handed to the boat, the joy and relief in their hearts that were enveloped by great happiness suddenly filled everyone's brain. The feeling of urgency was like a desperate struggle in a cripple trap and suddenly saw the little hope of life that was within reach above my head。。。。。。 However, this hope was shattered in an instant by the 1O7 ship that came up from behind.

It may take at least an hour or more to wait for a ship to load water. Truth be told, that's not a long time for them. After all, having been adrift at sea for so long has already honed incomparable endurance. An hour is nothing to them. But human genes are just that weird. At a time when everyone has no water to drink. Everyone is completely humble to each other, and can even give the last mouthful of life-saving water they have to others without hesitation. But he sat on the side with a smile, his dry throat swaying, looking at the recipient with an incomparable sense of satisfaction, and carefully swallowing this little remaining water.

After all. We are all of the same race, and we are all friends who sit in the same boat. At this time, there is no difference in the status of all people. Some just want to show their noble and loving feelings.

However, once the situation improves, once the supply is very sufficient. The noble giver will soon be transformed into a different form. They will also fight with others to get fresh water to drink themselves. Know that they are also thirsty and need water to drink. I also want to quench my thirst as soon as possible, which is a terrible threat to my body.

It is from this moment on. The tragic fate of the ship 1O7 was already sealed. At the instigation of others, the captain of the 2O6 was already furious. He didn't think much of it, cursing the damned ship in front of him as he slammed into the weak stern of 1O7 with a steel knife-sharp ship. Then, in the midst of frantic applause and praise from your side, turn the rudder again and reverse to open up enough distance. Increasing the horsepower again, the side was diagonally inserted into the line of the 1O7, and the wooden ship that had seized its original position was forced out of the queue. The squeezing of the ships caused a huge collision, but the two ships did not tilt or fall as a result of the shaking. They were still as inseparable as two sister ships side by side that seemed to want to enter the harbor at the same time.

The edges of the wooden ship had long been dilapidated, and after a long long voyage, there were tiny cracks in the iron sheet on the side of the ship. The squeeze of the 2O6 ship caused the rifts to burst open in that instant. In a screeching "squeak", the iron sheet was torn off the side of the 1o7 ship under two completely opposite forces, revealing the white wood wrapped inside. It was as if a giant banana had been skinned. Of course, it is impossible for violators to accept such encounters. For a moment, shouts and insults came out of the mouths of the people standing at the bow of the boat, and in an instant, the narrow space was enveloped. The purpose is just to vent it.

Sometimes the scolding doesn't work at all, especially in such a situation, the 1O7 has already become the target of the entire fleet. More and more people were in favor of the actions of the 2O6, and from the ships that followed it, there were also bursts of criticism of the 1O7. Some ships even sounded their whistles directly, expressing solidarity with the 2O6's move to regain their original interests. For a time, everyone's protests were directed at the 1O7 ship. Completely isolating this there is like a ship spurned by the Race.

If the matter can be dealt with in time at this point, then I am afraid that the series of tragedies that will follow will not be repeated. However, the fleet managers did not notice the small friction, or they did not think it was worth it at all. In short, the rebuke of the ship 1o7 has continued. No one realizes how much harm they can do to a group of isolated people by doing so. Tianxiang, who was standing on the port guard tower, also saw this scene clearly. In fact, even he himself had no idea what the consequences of people's unintentional actions would be. He just watched intently as a ship that had just entered the harbor replenished fresh water. And beckoned the port manager to bring the water pipe as soon as possible. Only in this way can the replenishment of the fleet be accelerated.

Tragedy always happens when people least expect it. (It is written that this section is old and black somehow does it, and I always feel thirsty.) Picked up the cup and drank a few glasses. I still don't think it's fun.,I almost didn't get on the water tap directly.。。。 Suddenly it occurred to me that if the water pipe was unscrewed, the ticket could flow out directly, how nice it would be... ）
