Chapter 504: Howling on a Rainy Night
After a while, Tiamat flew back, moving the surviving "prince" a little.
Make sure he won't be swept back into the sea by the undulating waves.
Instead of wasting time on this isolated island, Xia Yanzhen sat on Tiamat, skimmed low above the sea, and flew to the shore.
"You didn't tell me it was such a shipwreck."
Seeing the wreckage of the ship on the shore, Xia Yanzhen said.
"Well, what's wrong?" Tiamat was a little confused.
As a "God's Dream Creature", although it has never left God's Dream Realm, it is born with a lot of knowledge about the real world.
For example, in the famous fairy tale - the daughter of the sea, Tiamat is cleared.
But this knowledge is not particularly fine-grained, and many times it is superficial.
The fairy tale of the daughter of the sea has no specific historical background, and when people mention it, they will instinctively substitute it into the ancient times of the West, that is, the similar background of the Middle Ages.
After all, there are kings, princes and the like.
If you look closely, the backstory of the daughter of the sea is very vague like Little Red Riding Hood.
It is not impossible to say that the Middle Ages could, go forward or backward.
But the average person would certainly not put the background of this fairy tale in the age of steam.
And the wreckage that Xia Yanzhen saw now was clearly a steamship with some rivet structures that could still be seen.
Tiamat is a dragon, and he doesn't think it's inappropriate, Xia Yan has really heard and read fairy tales since he was a child.
Daughter of the sea with a steamer?
Mermaid princess from the age of steam?
So how much more reference value can fairy tales have?
"What should I do, do you want to wake him up?" Tiamat asked, looking at the survivor.
The man was unconscious and not in good shape, but he was not worried about his life.
Although embarrassed at this time, it is still difficult to hide his handsomeness, pale blonde hair, and delicate clothes tell him to exist extraordinary identity.
"No, let's take a look." Xia Yanzhen said, see if you can find someone.
On the shore, the impact of the storm is already small.
Tiamat surveyed the area, but the area was truly inhabited, and he didn't find anyone for a while.
The two gradually expanded the scope of their exploration.
Time passed, and the terrible wind and waves stopped.
The sky is getting a little brighter.
A raft approached the shore, and the five of them appeared in a slightly embarrassed manner, and they found the wreckage as soon as possible.
"How is it the Industrial Age?"
"Count it as the steam era, the mermaid princess is not a little mermaid."
"It's better not, otherwise if you want to attack a fairy tale protagonist, you may not be able to pass this level in your heart."
Several people went ashore as they spoke.
It's a mix of three men and two women, all of whom look very young, in their twenties at most.
The clothes were slightly antique, and one of them had a sword behind his back.
Coupled with good looks, he looks like handsome men and beauties who came out of martial arts and fairy hero idol dramas.
"What about the brigade bosses?"
"I didn't see it, showed us the way, but I wasn't here anymore."
"Wouldn't this man be the prince of the story?"
Several people whispered as they approached the survivor.
Survivors were put in a cross-legged position.
The captain who will never forget it, stretched out his hand into a palm, pressed it on the person's back, and carried out standard exercises to heal his wounds.
Soon, white smoke rose from the top of the survivor's head, and an invisible layer of flame seemed to be shrouded in his body, and his clothes and hair were dried.
His pale face also became a little ruddy.
The survivor instinctively made a painful sound, his eyelids trembled, and he woke up from his coma.
His memory seemed to be stuck in the time of the accident, and he instinctively shouted and fluttered twice before he found himself ashore.
"Calm down, it's fine." Carefree comforted the handsome young man.
"I ...... You saved me? Alec asked.
"Well, we found you unconscious here." Xiaoyao didn't take too much credit, and the two talked like this.
During the conversation, it was learned that this Alec was really a prince.
He came from a country called Inns.
India is an archipelagic nation.
In Alec's mind, the world is made up of archipelagos, large and small, and vast oceans.
There are only islands on land, and there is no more expansive concept of a continent.
The Indo-Indian kingdom occupies more than 100 islands, large and small, and is considered a somewhat famous country in this large archipelago area.
Alec is the second prince of the Indian country, this time he went out to play by boat, but he didn't expect to encounter terrible weather on the way, the boat was wrecked, and he was stranded on the island.
In the conversation, Xiaoyao and the others did not find out from Alec's mouth for the time being that there was definitely a transcendent power in this archipelago world.
As for the level of productivity, it is a little higher than expected.
Not only steam, but also electricity is also widespread on some of the more developed islands.
Alec is a little ignorant of the world, and in the face of several life-savers, he speaks defenselessly.
was asked a lot of useful information by Xiaoyao, and at the same time, he did not doubt the identity of Xiaoyao and others.
In the archipelago world, the islands are relatively independent from each other, and various cultural civilizations have developed.
There are all kinds of strange clothes and customs.
Dressing up like Xiaoyao and others is not special in the archipelago.
"By the way, Your Royal Highness, have you ever heard of a mermaid?"
The two sides talked happily, and asked at the right time.
"Merfolk, do you believe in mermaids too?" Alec suddenly got a little excited.
It turns out that in the archipelago, there have always been people who believe that in addition to the islanders who live on the islands, there are also "people under the sea" who live in the ocean.
The Underwater People are also called merfolk or mermaids.
Alec just believed that there were mermaids, and this time he went on vacation, and the original destination was an island called Mouth.
I heard that there were traces of mermaid activity there.
It's a pity that before he arrived, he encountered extreme weather on the way, and the ship broke inexplicably and was shipwrecked.
"What are your Royal Highness's plans for next?"
MEmu feels that Alec is the key to the mission.
"Let's find out where we are...... Alec said, "why don't I hire you to be my guard?" ”
At present, Alec is "unrelated", and the only people Alec can rely on are these life-saving benefactors in front of him.
"This—" Xiaoyao was about to agree, when there was a distinct noise not far away.
A few people looked over and saw two men approaching.
One before and one after the other.
The former was dressed in a heavy, mysterious and gorgeous dress, and his appearance was no better than that of the handsome Alec, but his expression was cold, exuding a hint of indifference and alienation.
The latter is a bald man with a height of more than two meters, and at first glance he knows that he is a macho bodyguard or something like that.
"Brigade?"
Xiaoyao and the others immediately guessed the identity of the arrival, and hurried to meet them.
"The boss of the brigade?"
After getting closer, Xiaoyao asked in a low voice.
"Brigade, Xia Shiyi, how did you communicate with this 'Prince of Distress'?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
He and Tiamat expanded their exploration, discovering that the "mainland" was actually just a slightly larger island, and then found traces of human life.
It's just that those towns are now abandoned, and I don't know why.
Xia Yanzhen didn't investigate carefully, thinking that the time was almost up, so he rushed back with Tiamat.
Sure enough, I saw someone who would never forget it, and talked happily with the prince in distress.
"Xia Eleven?"
Hearing this codename, I was stunned, this name is like thunder.
As long as it is not a dream apostle who has a certain amount of information channels and has no ears to what is going on outside the window, he is very clear about the weight of this name during this time.
This is a super powerhouse who directly breaks up the second strongest team of the Supreme.
The strongest dream apostle who definitely stands at the pinnacle of the dream realm of the gods!
Check in to the thighs!
However, after the surprise, Xiaoyao suddenly felt that it was not good.
Their first third-order mission was with such a big guy, this task won't be difficult, right?
The expression on Xiaoyao's face changed.
Xia Yanzhen stopped the unnecessary polite words and went straight to the point: "How much do you know?" ”
Xiaoyao said what he knew: "That person claims to be the second prince of the Indos country......"
"Shall we follow him for now?" Xia Yan really thought about it and asked for Xiaoyao's opinion.
"Okay." Xiaoyao nodded, gesturing to the others.
Several people returned to Alec's side and introduced Xia Yanzhen as one of them, and everyone was willing to accept Alec's employment after discussion.
The two sides reached a cooperation.
They searched through the wreckage of the ship, but found nothing suitable, such as a radio or anything like that.
Because Xia Yanzhen had already discovered the abandoned town, Alec decided to go there and have a look.
The crowd immediately set out on their journey.
Alec, the second prince, is also athletic, and he can keep up with Xia Yanzhen and their deliberate slowdown.
As the sky darkens, a group of people arrives on the outskirts of the abandoned town.
Here is the edge of the island, close to the ocean.
In the archipelago world, most of the towns and cities where people live are close to the ocean.
More than ninety percent of cities are "coastal cities".
This abandoned town is no exception.
"This place feels weird." Entering the abandoned town, Xiaoyao reminded, "Your Highness, be careful. ”
"Well, I'm feeling a little hairy, too." Alec was very attentive and immediately stood in the crowd, hiding behind Tiamat, the macho man.
This abandoned town is indeed a bit weird.
Its buildings are fairly well preserved, and the stone roads are fairly smooth.
I don't see what kind of natural disaster has happened.
Even, in the shops on the street, everyone saw moldy and hard bread and some food that they didn't have time to eat.
It feels like everything was fine and everyone was living normally, but suddenly a disaster struck.
The people living in the town "disappeared" and the town was abandoned.
"Your Highness, do you know what kind of island this is?" Xiaoyao asked.
Alec shook his head, "I don't know, let's find a radio or something." ”
The archipelago's ship-related and wireless communication technology is still very developed.
There are a variety of wireless communication devices.
Some of these devices are radio-like devices, and even more so, walkie-talkie-like devices.
After adjusting the frequency, you can connect with many known and unknown places.
The group soon found a shop in town that sold related equipment.
It's kind of complicated.
And it's not small, because the town doesn't have electricity, and now it needs to be powered by hand or foot pedals.
Alec has studied these things a bit.
After a bit of tossing and turning, he succeeded in activating a radio, and he kept adjusting the channel bands to get in touch with other places.
From time to time, there was a rustling sound from the loudspeaker.
But there were no other voices, and it was clear that it was not easy to get in touch with other places.
"Isn't there a fixed channel?" Xiaoyao asked.
People don't know much about it.
But I know that there will be some fixed channels that can be radioed or something—people who have been in a car generally understand.
"I've tried, and I can't get the channels I know about here." Alec shook his head, "There's no way, I can only try it a little bit." Keep shaking, don't stop, you're not tired, are you? ”
"Well, I'm not tired." Xiaoyao said.
He hand-cranked the wireless device to provide power that he didn't know if it was electricity or not, so that it could be used.
At first, the movement was quite large, as if a hand-cranked tractor was starting.
Now it's basically silent, and with the physical strength of leisure, even if you shake it all day, you won't feel tired.
"Goo-goo-goo......"
After adjusting for a while, there was finally another sound except for "rustle".
But not from the wireless device, but from Alec's belly.
He was hungry.
Normally, Alec should have been hungry a long time ago, and his stomach was rumbling until now, but it was Xiaoyao who instilled in him the credit of internal strength.
Don't forget, the whole team is all taking the "martial arts" route.
Everyone is a martial arts master, with strong internal strength, and in the martial arts world, at least three or two Jiazi's internal strength starts.
Internal force is very versatile, attacking enemies and healing "friends".
It can also save Alec from starvation.
It's just that Alec hasn't fainted at the moment, and he shows something special in the open, which is quite troublesome to explain.
Until many circumstances were clear, the Dream Apostle had always kept a low profile.
In addition, simply instilling internal force in Alec will not be a small loss to them.
Alec doesn't have internal strength, and if it is ten points on him, it is estimated that it will only have an effect.
Even if Xiaoyao and others have strong internal strength, it is a bit extravagant to use it like this.
"Let's go and see if there's anything to eat." Xia Yanzhen stood up and said.
Outside, the sky had completely darkened, and it was already dark.
Not only that, but it rained in the sky again, turning from a sunny day to a rainy night.
The sound of the waves and the rain is mixed in and continues to be heard in the shops on this roadside.
Some kerosene lamps have been lit to light up the shop and try to dispel the darkness and cold.
Abandoned uninhabited town, rainy night.
Even if it's not a mission world, it will feel dangerous, and I can't wait to shrink up in this small store with everyone.
In such an environment, not holding the group tightly and acting separately is obviously in line with the way of death in horror movies.
But the person who said this was Xia Shiyi, so it was different.
Xiaoyao and the others didn't feel inappropriate in the slightest.
"It's raining, can you find something to eat?" Alec asked.
"There's always canned food or something." Xia Yanzhen put on his hood, took a kerosene lamp, and entered the rain with Tiamat, and quickly disappeared.
"yes, I almost forgot there was a can." Alec patted his head.
Easy-to-store food, such as canned food, is definitely an archipelago specialty.
It's just that Alec has a noble status, and he has rarely touched these foods since he was a child, and he didn't think for a while that there would be canned food to satisfy his hunger.
As long as this town is not abandoned for tens or hundreds of years.
There is always something to find canned food that is still edible.
Alec continued to tune in earnestly, the rustling sound was staccato and suddenly, the rustling sound became louder.
"It seems to be."
Alec was pleasantly surprised, and tuned in carefully.
The rustling sound began to wane, as if it had entered a communication channel.
Alec immediately picked up the walkie-talkie: "Hey, hey, can anyone hear me?" ”
After letting go, the rustling became louder again.
"Huh?"
Alec was confused.
The rustling sound is getting louder and louder, and the sound is changing, gradually becoming more like a human voice.
"Hello? Anyone? ”
"Uh......h Woo......"
From the speakers of the device, there was a muffled voice, which sounded like a woman's cry, but it was much higher-pitched.
“……”
Xiaoyao and the others glanced at each other.
"Poof!"
With a sword roar, Xiaoyao had already pulled out the sword behind his back.
The other four did the same, each with a weapon.
Before Alec noticed the Dream Apostle's "magic", the cry in the wireless device suddenly became sharp.
From a woman's slightly high-pitched cry to a baby's piercing cry - no, it should be a cat's poignant and penetrating roar.
"Ahh
The sound quickly evolved into a terrible high-frequency scream.
Alec's face turned pale and he couldn't help but cover his ears with a painful look.
Xiaoyao and the others immediately resisted, but they were not affected.
Xiaoyao stretched out his hand and adjusted the channel, but he couldn't stop the mournful scream from ringing out.
The scream was like invisible claws, piercing through the flesh and digging at the bones.
The mental discomfort almost turns into a physical injury.
"I'll go, I'm not generating electricity anymore."
Xiaoyao suddenly noticed that he no longer had a hand to shake.
But the wireless device is still working.
Sure enough, ghosts and other things generate their own electricity, right?
All of them are senior electricians.
"Shaking and then stopping, will also continue to provide some power." Alec's face crumpled, but he excused the ghost.
"Stand back."
A reminder was given, and a sword was swung.
In a flash of cold light, the wireless device was split in half by his sword, and the horn was precisely smashed.
The truly physically creepy screams came to an abrupt end.
Alec's stiff legs went limp, and he fell to the ground, gasping for breath: "What the hell was that scream just now?" ”
"Who knows, we are also unlucky people who are shipwrecked."
Xiaoyao looked around, looking for dangers that might lurk in the darkness.
"It's not good, Xia won't have an accident with them, right?" Alec didn't forget Xia Yanzhen and Tiamat who left.
"Don't worry about them."
Xiaoyao smiled bitterly, "If you want to worry, let's worry about ourselves." ”
His keen five senses sensed that in the darkness of the rainy night outside, something appeared and was approaching!
