Chapter 524: Refugee Island

On the sea, which has not yet been fully occupied by humans, there are still a large number of large and small islands with or without names, and there are even mysterious areas known to only a few pirates and navigators, which are not used for anything other than supplies, so most of the islands have no human beings, and no country has sworn sovereignty over them.

Theoretically, the sea visitors who use these islands are the owners of the sovereignty, and in a sense they are also a good place to escape from the world, and sometimes, when the sea ships come to an island that has never been marked on the route, the sailors who land will occasionally find the tombstones on the island, but there is still nothing but the tombstones, and the hermit buried under the tombstones is the previous owner of the island, and after his death, the island is deserted again.

"You don't know?"

When he got such a reply to his question, Qiu Wuyi suddenly had a feeling that his IQ was forcibly averaged below the horizontal line.

"Of course you don't know if you haven't begged for a living on the sea, but think about it, how many uninhabited islands are there on such a big sea? We pirates only know that we can just give the same name to the island we have visited, and who knows what its real name is. ”

Guo Yong waved his hand casually, his answer is also a common practice among pirates, after all, the cultural level of most pirates is not high, if an island looks like a bull's head, it will be called Niutou Island, and each pirate has a different name for the island, so there are often legends of pirate treasures in history, but almost no one can dig it.

With such a random naming method, it is estimated that the buried person himself will not be able to find it either.

Riding on the huge floating city, Qiu Wuyi has a completely different feeling from his own flight, this is not only a city, but also an extremely powerful weapon, through Ling Qi's introduction, all kinds of weapons possessed by the city have also shown their true colors, roughly they are all remnants of the ancient old imperial period.

Although he had never said it to anyone, Qiu Wuyi was now obsessed with all kinds of ancient relics to a strange degree, and even some plants and trees were soldiers, and after coming into contact with an ancient relic that was more exaggerated than the other, his nerves would be more or less allergic.

"It's so convenient, I don't need a telescope, I admire." ”

In the control room of the castle, Guo Yong's words were filled with a bit of sincere respect, and the forty-eight large screen took in all the scenes of the floating city, while the girls who looked like vases just now had their own positions and carried out their work meticulously.

"Commander, prepare to carry out the landing procedure!"

"Confirm the landing site, the landing site is stable, there are no signs of life!"

"The airflow is stable, and the deviation of the landing point is 0.03 thousandths!"

Manipulating the floating city is more difficult than imagined, and the Air Pirates are right, although Ling Qi can control its flight, it is difficult for one person to take care of more things.

"Ready to land!"

Ling Qi, who seemed to be sitting in the captain's position, quickly swept along the forty-eight screens, and her blue eyes had already imprinted everything around her in her heart, and gave a loud landing order, although she did this kind of thing by herself.

"Your friend is a very good captain. ”

As a person with the same profession and identity, Guo Yong has completely identified with Ling Qi, the leader of the air thief group, and has also aroused a little competition.

His flagship followed him all the way in the sea below, but compared to the huge floating city, it could only be said to be a small fish next to the whale.

Qiu Wuyi didn't say anything, just nodded in agreement, his eyes had already locked on the island below, to be exact, some buildings on the island, but the distance was still too far, and he could only roughly judge some artificially carved flat land, as well as cooking smoke.

The scope of the island is not small, and the floating city landed in a calm sea area on the edge of the island, and when he landed, Qiu Wuyi saw with his own eyes that such a huge city only splashed a little splash, which was really powerful.

Generally speaking, where there are peaks, there may be snow water, rivers, that is, fresh water for humans and other creatures, such large islands are enough to establish island nations, and in fact there are many such islands along the coast, where many people live, and fresh water is even self-sufficient.

"Isn't this an uninhabited island? yes, I don't know how many years ago left a treasure map......

Guo Yong seemed to understand why the floating city was hindering his progress, and scratched his head rather in embarrassment, as time went by, there were indeed many islands that gradually became colored by humans.

Buildings are inhabited, but compared to the ancient castles and bell towers in the floating city, the buildings below can only be said to be extremely rudimentary, and there are even large and small tents mixed in.

"These people...... I didn't live here from the beginning. ”

Qiu Wuyi saw the makeshift tents and the long wooden houses made of rough logs and rattan, and suddenly asked Ling Qi beside him, who had just come off the landing ship.

If this is the headquarters of the Air Thieves, or a stronghold, there is no need to build a house on purpose, and the floating city above is enough to carry so many people, although it may be a little troublesome to replenish.

This kind of humble building only reminds Qiu Wuyi of the word "refugee".

"yes......"

The expression on Guo Yong's face suddenly froze, and it was not easy to react.

"Of course not, how many people do you think it will take to control the floating city? Less than ten people besides me are enough, where are so many people needed, tell you, they are the ones I rescued when the Burning Kingdom collapsed, and there are a small number of fugitives from the Eternal Kingdom. ”

Ling Qi put his hands in his pockets and let out a long and helpless sigh.

"Are you also a ......?"

Guo Yong's already widened eyes became even bigger, because he had done something similar, when transporting refugees to Lei Country, he didn't know how many painful life and death partings he had seen with his own eyes, his parents who voluntarily gave up the ship in order to let their children leave, and the young people who suddenly disappeared in order to let their parents leave, and the painful memories of that scene still appear in his memory.

"Well, but I knew about this a little too late, and it was too difficult for me to control the floating city alone, and after everyone got together, the collapse of the Lieguo was almost over, and in the end, more than 50,000 people were rescued......

Ling Qi's voice had always been very loud, and every word was full of excess energy, but at this moment, her voice became thinner and thinner, and her fist slammed into the trunk of the tree beside her, and the sound covered the last few words she spoke.

"No, you can't think so, no one can do anything about this kind of thing, you and he have done our best, and it's ridiculous that I still know nothing about it. ”

Qiu Wuyi shook his head vigorously, wanting to clear the depression and anger in his mind with this action, but he also knew that he couldn't spare the energy to help any Lieguo, which was the most painful part.

"You see, I have explored this island, the fresh water is very abundant, tens of thousands of people are not a problem at all, the climate on the island is also very good, there is a lot of land that can be cultivated, although I need to transport food for the time being, but as long as the next crop is ripe, I can be self-sufficient, but ...... I don't know what to do in the future. ”

Ling Qi's fist on the trunk of the tree kept clinging tightly to the rough bark, clenching tighter and tighter.

"You mean...... What will happen in the future if there is really an all-out war with Yongguo?"

Qiu Wuyi casually broke off a branch and held it in his mouth, Ling Qi nodded silently.

"The Thunder Country should be able to contain some people for the time being, by the way, brother, your territory can also, but it doesn't seem to be safe. ”

Guo Yong thought about the next thing carefully, and his face instantly became cloudy.

"A country as big as the Lieguo, if there is no one, there will be no more, and no one knows the reason yet, at least the territory of the four countries on the mainland is not very safe, take a step back, as long as it is related to the Eternal Country, then there must be hidden dangers, and the islands in the sea may be safer. ”

Although Qiu Wuyi's heart was heavy, the speed of his brain did not become sluggish at all.

"I wasn't prepared this time, what if there was a next time? My floating city can transport 80,000 or 100,000 people at a time, where will I transport them at that time? Where will it be safe? Who knows how many refugees will be on the run at that time?"

Ling Qi looked up at the sky in confusion, as if she wanted to seek the answer given by the gods, she was originally a person who was not willing to think, but after experiencing the floating city and transporting refugees, the flower called "sense of responsibility" had taken root in her heart, and she had forcibly reversed that large and dissolved personality to the opposite side.

"I do know how many uninhabited islands there are in the sea where people can live forever...... However, these uninhabited islands are scattered all over the sea, and even if I lead the way, it will not be possible to find them for a while, not to mention how long it will take to transport people up, and it will be impossible to transport supplies to each other. ”

Guo Yong pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, The scope of the sea far exceeds that of the mainland, and how can the islands scattered on the ocean be taken care of one by one? Saving people may be able to do it reluctantly, but it is difficult to take care of their lives, which is equivalent to leaving people on it to fend for themselves.

"What if...... I mean, if there is a place where the eternal kingdom may be completely inaccessible, and the scope is so large that it can even allow people from the entire continent to migrate to it, the only problem is that the living conditions there are very harsh, and there are scorching summers all year round, although there is also land, water and crops for humans to live, but they have to face the harassment of monsters and large deserts all the time...... Wouldn't a place like this be better than being displaced in the midst of war?"

Qiu Wuyi silently counted the numbers in his mind, and when he counted to thirty and confirmed that his mind was almost calm, he opened his mouth and said to everyone.
