Chapter 1 A boy who wants to eat the sun
"I'm going to eat a sun."
The young man, who was originally feasting, faced a table of food that he had never heard of, drew a big circle with his greasy finger pen, and said.
"Lu Ran?"
"People from Lujia Village, Wuhai Town, Wushan County?"
Two old men in fancy clothes, one with a body like a green onion and the other with a head like white garlic, were asking him.
"Yes." The young man named Lu Ran had his eyes covered with black cloth, and he had just been fished up from the dark cabin, and his eyes were still blind.
"Is it the last one?" The green old man kept flipping through the roster in his hand, and just turned to the last page, his eyes swept over one by one, and stopped at the last name.
- Lu Ran.
- The hundredth "person with fate".
The front of the roster was densely packed, and ninety-nine, that is, the names that were marked with bright red crosses, had been confirmed, and all of them died.
This is the only one left.
The green old man narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man carefully, his shape was like a withered tree, his face was hateful, and he was far from what he hoped in his heart.
He couldn't help but shake his head.
"Is there really such an evil sect? There are hundreds of people in this cabin, but there are many sergeants, martial artists, monks, and even two red immortals. The relatively kind-looking old man Bai Garlic asked his boss with a bit of disbelief written on his face.
"I just hope he's a real destined person." The green old man lowered his eyes, picked up the pen, and drew a big red circle on Lu Ran's name.
Pass.
This "meeting of karma" is a method of refining.
A hundred are the so-called "destined people", and they can't tell the truth from the false, which one is really fateful, and which one is really undivided? How to choose?
They were crammed into the hold of a fifty-man ship, fed only a small amount of dry food and water, and the hatch was nailed shut for a hundred days.
How many people will survive after a hundred days?
The answer is one.
This one in front of you.
And the teenager who has survived like this happens to be the hundredth person on the roster drawn up before departure, this is not called a person with fate, so what can be called a person with fate?
Lu Ran.
The green old man silently recited the name again.
There are both doubts and rejoicing in my heart, and I am glad that there is finally this one left, otherwise there are still many people who will die along with themselves.
He was about to verify this information from the beginning again, but when he looked up, he saw that the young man named Lu Ran pricked up his ears, as if he was listening quietly in the wind.
"Did you hear that?"
The boy asked suddenly.
The two old men looked at each other, and there was only the sound of the wind and the waves in their ears, and no one could speak.
"There was a strange voice, the woman said...... Internet...... Disconnect ...... What is the meaning? ”
network, disconnected?
The boy came out of the cabin, talking nonsense, all kinds of meaningless muttering such as "eat a sun" and "drink the dry seawater", and now, I am afraid there are auditory hallucinations.
The green old man didn't make a sound, and the young man who crawled out of the pile of dead people was frightened and frightened, and his soul was shocked, and he was a little confused, which was normal.
The boy was still babbling something, as if he had tried to think about it, but to no avail, finally smiled, touched a bottle of rice wine on the table and took a few sips.
The sun was in full bloom, and a few dark clouds drifted in, as if they had smeared a gap on it, and it seemed that it had been bitten by something.
The green old man frowned, and his face became even more gloomy and complicated.
Finally, he put away the roster, dropped a word, and turned to leave.
"Watch him eat and drink well, send him to be washed, and finally go to the 'Long Smoke'."
So be it. That's him.
Go back to your life.
The old man tapped his toes, plucked the onions on the real dry land, and with a slight jump, he jumped out of dozens of zhang, directly onto a huge golden ship ten zhang away.
He quickly disappeared into it, and after the golden ship there were even bigger ships, and there were countless small boats and speedboats under the huge ships.
It turned out that this group of people was in the turbid sea, one of the world's two seas, in the middle of a fleet.
This is a large, resplendent ironclad fleet.
The "Golden Fleet", which is unique in the world.
Lu Ran, the "destined person", burped fiercely in one of the fleet's golden supply ships.
This is where the story begins.

"You two, what's your name?"
The seemingly strange question appeared in Lu Ran's mouth again.
Blindfolded, he simply turned his head in the direction of the old man with white garlic.
The old man with white garlic looked at this kid who had only been a meal, and he had already begun to jump around lively, and he was really a little surprised.
He didn't answer the question, just beckoned two sergeants to land on Lu Ran, one left and one right, across the deck, and through the gangplank.
Lu Ran knew that this was on another ship.
The constant sound of the waves crashing against the hull of the ship made him think back to the shock he felt when he first saw the fleet.
The majesty is huge, and the momentum is not enough to describe it.
As it slowly moved forward, the entire fleet covered the sky and the sun, like golden cities moving, and there was a sense of unreality that swallowed heaven and earth.
Yes, unrealistic.
This is indeed a fleet that should not exist.
Thousands of years ago, there were immortals who set up the treasure "water prison pass" in Qinghai and Turbid Sea, and since then the sea and sky have been chaotic, and Haiti has been impassable.
After that, the Char Empire (that is, the subject country of the Golden Fleet) declared a "sea ban" and destroyed large ships, and other countries followed suit.
For thousands of years, the country has no navy, and the people have no merchant ships, which is a consensus and an unwritten "agreement".
The ocean is not only a taboo, but also a symbol of the "estrangement" of this era, and only "Haizi" like Lu Ran will risk going to sea for a little catch.
Lu Ran, fifteen years old, is a man who begs for the sea, and Xia Yaguo is also called "Haizi".
A few months ago, an old man who claimed to be Char's "star official" found Lu Ran's grandfather in the village, saying that he had a single official job of "suppressing bandits", and hoped to find a clever and familiar "Haizi" who was familiar with maritime operations as a guide.
They only took a fancy to Lu Ran, and others didn't want anything.
The remuneration is a number that Grandpa and Lu Ran can't even think of.
Lu Ran's grandfather is an "old sea" who has begged the sea all his life, and he refused immediately.
After all, begging for the sea is life, and "suppressing bandits" is war.
Although he has been floating on the sea all his life, he has never seen any pirates and pirates.
After the sea ban, even seabirds are rare.
So it was Lu Ran who stole on the boat by himself, because he knew that Grandpa wanted a good coffin, and he wanted to leave a brand-new big ship for Lu Ran after he died.
As for when he really got on the ship and followed this "fleet that shouldn't exist", only to find out that everything was just a pretense and a deception, Lu Ran didn't panic, after all, the condition he negotiated with the "star officer" was to give money first, and then work.
Presumably, Grandpa has already paid the deposit for a new ship.

Thinking of this, Lu Ran suddenly heard a loud noise, followed by the sound of crackling and small objects hitting each other, and the sound of things falling into the sea.
There was a smell of gunpowder wafting in the air not far away.
"You ...... Be...... Blew up that ship? Lu Ran's body trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but ask.
It was the same supply ship that killed ninety-nine people in the cargo hold.
The old man didn't answer, but just looked at the place where the wreck was, and after the waves gradually subsided, he finally dropped a sentence.
"Wait here, run around and break your legs!"
"Hey, leave your name and go!" The boy didn't think so, and just continued to ask.
However, there was no answer.
The clothes were flying, the ornaments were noisy, and after the old man with white garlic left, many people came.
"Someone who is destined? This kid? ”
The voice was slightly hoarse, and it was a woman.
Through the black cloth covering his eyes, Lu Ran vaguely saw a touch of begonia red.
The woman dressed in begonia red had a bewitching face, her body was as delicate as a soft eel, she approached Lu Ran with a smile, and put her nose on it to take a closer look.
"Huh, the little guy is very handsome, tsk, such a heavy dead smell on his body, and he can't cover the fragrance of the boy......" The woman giggled and pinched Lu Ran's face: "It's a pity, if you weren't that 'destined person', my sister would take you to the cabin to take you to ...... well."
Lu Ran also smelled a strong fragrance of flowers, which didn't smell good, but made him feel excited.
"Girls, let's get started." The woman turned around, Erlang's legs were cocked, and he sat down on a bench.
Then Lu Ran felt that five, six, seven, eighty, or nine people rushed towards him, and more than a dozen hands that were soft, cold, or smooth groped around him, stripping him naked.
"You ...... What are you going to do! Lu Ran subconsciously covered his thing and screamed.
"Lift his blindfold, let him take a good look at this flower-like girl, look at this day, this sea." Begonia red hair commands.
After a brief and intense stinging pain in his eyes, Lu Ran felt as if he had lost his sight and regained his sight in an instant, but he finally saw the world clearly again.
The first thing I saw was two long legs with white flowers.
Then I saw several beautiful girls of my own age hugging him, hugging him, looking at him with a smile that seemed to be not a smile, and looked at him with some strange eyes.
And behind him, there is a large cauldron, and inside the pot, gurgling and boiling water.
Before he could fully figure out the situation, Lu Ran was thrown hard by the nine girls and thrown into the pot.
