Chapter 4: Understanding and Departing
The language barrier was a big problem, and no one on board understood Chinese.
There was also a compatriot Zhang Liang on the ship, and Zhang Liang was quite surprised at first sight, but to Zhang Liang's disappointment, he was a complete American who did not know Chinese at all.
Maybe he had heard of China, but to ask him to speak Chinese would be tormenting him.
What puzzled Zhang Liang was that the ship did not immediately start to leave the island, but stayed next to the island temporarily.
They also argued several times, but Zhang Liang couldn't know the reason for their argument because of the language barrier.
The argument was fierce, mainly between a fat white man and the captain of the ship, or rather only the two of them arguing and deliberately avoiding the people on board.
As for why he thinks the captain, it is Zhang Liang's guess, looking at his clothes, and most of the people on the ship respect him.
It's not right to say it's an argument, it's mostly the fat man who is talking, and his tone is passionate and very tempting.
After talking for a long time, the fat man seemed to convince the captain, and soon after, the captain began to distribute guns to his crew, and everything went in an orderly manner.
At the beginning, there was a tall black man arguing with the captain, Zhang Liang guessed that it should be the first mate on the ship, anyway, he should have a high status on the ship, only he refuted the captain.
However, the captain's prestige was very high, and it did not take long to convince him, and the orders were given one after another, and a large number of boxes were carried out of the ship.
Zhang Liang saw next to him that there were a bunch of neatly arranged bottles in the box, as for what the bottles contained, Zhang Liang couldn't judge, but the people on the boat were very careful about these boxes.
The bottle was full of English, Zhang Liang didn't know it at all, but now Zhang Liang can appreciate the painstaking efforts of the English teacher back then, and deeply understand the importance of learning English.
But for some reason, Zhang Liang always had a strange sense of familiarity, which he didn't have when he was on the island, but now it is getting heavier and heavier.
There seems to be a kind of fog in front of you, and the problem is seen through, just like that island, which is often shrouded in fog and does not see the light of day all year round.
Zhang Liang has this feeling now, but he can't see it really, he has no clue, and he thinks it is his own delusion.
But watching all this happen, the weirdness became heavier and heavier, the truth seemed to be getting closer and closer to him, and Zhang Liang instinctively felt that the truth seemed to be very unfavorable to him.
At this time, the ship was ready, and did not leave the boat, but rowed the dinghy again, heading towards the strange island.
Zhang Liang felt wrong, he only felt more and more familiar, more and more thorough, and only a thin veil away from the truth.
Turning his head to look at the white beauty he had rescued from the island, in an instant, there seemed to be a lightning bolt in his mind, and everything was understood.
The small tree in his mind kept vibrating, but Zhang Liang ignored it, mixed with joy and sorrow, and finally could confirm that this was not the earth, and he had no relatives and friends.
It's not accurate to say this, this is indeed the earth, but it is not the earth where Zhang Liang lives, it may be a bit winding to say this, but in layman's terms, it is clear - Zhang Liang has crossed.
traveled to another earth in a parallel universe, and more accurately, Zhang Liang traveled to the world of the movie "King Kong".
Then all this weirdness can explain why there is this weird island and that terrifying gorilla.
Why are the animals on the island so big, why are there dinosaurs, why are many ancient creatures still alive in them?
Because this is not the earth, not the place where Zhang Liang lives, but the world of the movie "King Kong", it is this world that creates these things, and it would be strange if there were no such existence.
And the white beauty she rescued from the island should be the heroine of the movie - Anne.
No wonder I have always had a strange sense of familiarity, Zhang Liang watched this movie a long time ago, and now he has fallen into it, which is the source of the weirdness.
And Zhang Liang's previous guess was not wrong, it was indeed the captain of the ship who was arguing with the white fat man, and as for the issues they were arguing about, Zhang Liang also had some guesses.
That white fat man should be one of the roots of the tragedy of the movie "King Kong", he is the director - Danham, a film director in the world of "King Kong" who is about to get into trouble.
This Danham is very unusual, relying on his eloquence to fool a large group of people to give him a free movie.
wrote a lot of blank checks, but in fact he had no money for a long time, he was a poor man, and even his investors who invested in him to make movies withdrew their funds.
In this way he fooled a large group of people into going to sea, and wrote a blank check to the captain, holding a worn-out chart, and deviating the course from the original course.
Sail to the legendary Skull Island, also known as King Kong, the island where the chimpanzee is located.
Later, it was he who lured the captain to capture the chimpanzee King Kong and brought the chimpanzee to human society, which eventually led to King Kong's death.
The relationship between King Kong and the heroine Anne in the movie made countless people envious, and in the end, the death of King Kong made countless people sad and tearful.
In the final analysis, the root cause of everything is caused by the white fat man - Danham.
Or it is caused by human greed, Zhang Liang also sighed for the death of King Kong back then, but now he has really arrived in the world of "King Kong", if he can, Zhang Liang still wants to change this ending.
Or that it has changed now, Zhang Liang saved the heroine Anne in advance, which caused King Kong to have no chance to get along with Anne at all, and now King Kong is still the beast king who crisscrosses the forest.
But now, it seems that the fat man Danham still had the idea of capturing King Kong, and successfully persuaded the captain.
Zhang Liang saw that they were arguing before, and this should be the case, and the inertia of history is really difficult to change.
I have to say that this white fat man, Danham, is still very good, and he is definitely a good hand when it comes to sales.
In the movie, Danham was able to catch King Kong, and there was a lot of luck involved.
The trap of humans to capture it is completely useless to it, and even the chloroform (anesthetic) that the captain has high hopes for can anesthetize a boatload of people on King Kong is extremely slow, and the pile of boxes that Zhang Liang saw before is filled with chloroform.
The reason why King Kong was captured was entirely because of King Kong's relationship with the heroine, Anne, and King Kong never retreated, which led to King Kong being finally anesthetized.
And now without Anne's attraction, King Kong will not fight with humans at all, and with King Kong's powerful body, he can completely escape.
If King Kong holds a grudge, after the chloroform is used up, these people led by the captain will be very dangerous.
"Roar" The earth-shattering roar of King Kong resounded on Skull Island, accompanied by a chaotic burst of gunfire and the screams of the crowd.
Zhang Liang could see the chimpanzee King Kong on the boat, and the fact was as Zhang Liang expected, the trap set by the captain was completely ineffective against King Kong.
The raging chimpanzee casually slapped the two crew members away, and Zhang Liang's strengthened body could even see their blood spurting in mid-air, and they were silent.
The captain and the others almost fled in a hurry, unlike the previous escapes from death, this time they were almost broken and painful to the bone marrow.
Fortunately, after a few loyal crew members voluntarily broke up, the captain and his group finally returned to the ship alive.
But they were all frightened, weeping bitterly, and unable to help themselves.
Zhang Liang even saw a seriously injured person, that is, the fat man Danham, whose chest was collapsed, and there was no possibility of life at all, and there were several people surrounding him, apparently to give his last words.
But he couldn't even speak, and swallowed his last breath in a blink of an eye.
To Zhang Liang's horror, Zhang Liang saw a shadow exactly like Danham floating out of him, and it was absorbed by Xiaoshu in an instant.
At the same time, Zhang Liang felt a stream of flowing energy flow into his mind, and his mind was extremely clear for a while.
Danham's life's experience instantly flowed through his mind, but it was like pressing the fast-forward button, and he couldn't see it clearly.
The image became more and more dim, and it disappeared completely in an instant, as if a long time had passed in Zhang Liang's mind, but in the eyes of the people around Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang was just stunned for a moment.
The first time Zhang Liang reacted was to look at Danham's corpse, and he was relieved to see that it had not disappeared.
"God, how can there be such a monster?"
"Oh my God, it's a demon. ”
"Ahh , my hand, my hand is broken. ”
The strange thing is that Zhang Liang can understand the people around him, and Zhang Liang guesses that it is caused by the shadow he just absorbed.
That should be the soul of a person, and the weirdness of the small tree made Zhang Liang a little difficult to let go.
But in a blink of an eye, I don't care, and there is no way to care, Xiaoshu is not something that I can control now.
Strangely, Zhang Liang has no memory of Danham at all, English is more of an instinct, and everything that happened in his mind before seems to be an illusion.
"Boom"
Zhang Liang only felt that the sky was spinning, and the small tree vibrated violently, driving Zhang Liang to disappear in the blink of an eye.
