Chapter 114: Another Drifting Bottle
So, after obtaining the consent of the owner of the sailboat, the proud and proud pelican was given a small living space on the ship.
It's not much, 5 square meters on the edge of the deck, open defecation is not allowed, no vandalism is allowed.
Zhang Ming originally wanted to give it a bad name - "Bird Mama".
As a result, as soon as the pelican heard the name "Bird Mama", it "quacked" and roared loudly, and looked so arrogant that it could not be reasoned, so it could only give up.
It's better to just call it Pelican.
The relationship between the pelican and the rest of the crew is not good, it is a bully, and it is deeply insecure and unable to trust others.
It's like having mania, flapping its wings and trying to run away at the slightest hint of wind - it's normal, and the animals that survive in the Sea of Demon Gods would have been wiped out long ago if they weren't vigilant enough.
It didn't dare to provoke Zhang Ming, and the stone mama on the mast was too weird to understand at first glance......
The only thing it can provoke is the little white turtle.
The pelican also knows that it can't eat the little white turtle, but it can provoke it with its long beak, like fiddling with a leather ball.
As a result, the feud between the two sides gradually deepened, and they fought wits and courage every day.
Xiaobai couldn't beat the pelican, but he was very scheming, and once even applied chili water to himself, risking his life and deliberately seducing the pelican to eat himself.
The final result was that the big pelican "quacked" and roared, and it was really spicy, and rushed into the sea like crazy!
Zhang Ming is silly and silly every day, just like watching a large-scale palace fighting drama, and applauded happily: "Smart, Xiaobai, I know that I can't beat it, but I can use tactics!" β
The pelican's swimming ability is naturally quite remarkable, its feathers are fluffy and soft, and it is able to float on the surface of the water like a duck.
"Before you met us, you were tired of flying and rested like this. It's not impossible to float on water, but there is no chance of error when encountering danger. β
The pelican "quacked" and cursed, and then its long neck twisted, and its huge mouth rushed into the water, not to mention the ecstasy.
It proudly said that it had not been doing well lately and was reluctant to get on the ship.
Zhang Ming spread his hands and shook his head indifferently: "As the only landing spot within a radius of I don't know how many kilometers, you can swim in the water without getting on the boat." β
"Gah!"
The arrogant pelican screamed fiercely and really swam away.
Of course, at night, it will come back cheekily again.
Suddenly, Zhang Ming sensed something and looked in another direction.
[Your letter!] γ
Here it comes!
A present for this year!
With a joy in his heart, he jumped into the water with a "plop" and picked up the drifting bottle floating on the sea.
The exchange meeting once every 14 months is not easy, and he is looking forward to it.
The drift bottle was filled with letters.
The first letter was written by Lu Tuyu and his sister: "The strongest brother-in-law of mankind is personally enlightened! Please accept this year's dog food! β
"Damn, I'm proud to be here, aren't you...... Sooner or later, one day, Lao Tzu will go back and beat Ling's dog's head. Lao Zhang scolded in his mouth, but his face was full of happy smiles, and he couldn't wait to open the letter.
Lu Tuyu described the happy life after the newlywed.
"As an ordinary soldier, my wife and I are separated and reunited often, but the ordinary and simple life makes me satisfied."
"In this era, everyone's life is generally not very good, and there is nothing to find fault about being able to marry a wife and have children and be happy like now."
"By the way, brother-in-law, I have good news for you, you have officially been promoted to uncle!"
Ah, uncle?
"Your sister gave birth to a 6-pound little girl, and the mother and daughter are safe."
Ah, niece?
"What a tiny human cub, her head is the size of my fist, and her skin is pink and tender like a roast suckling pig."
"In my life, I don't know anything except eating and sleeping, as well as eating, drinking, and Lazar."
"In the past, I would never have understood why giving birth to offspring was a spiritual lesson in life......
"Now I understand, because she is the epitome of my childhood, my life has been frozen and has not changed much."
"Her life has just begun, and she has a future that may be hopeful, but it may be quite ordinary. I had to take on the responsibilities of a father, and the whole process was hard but fulfilling. β
"She's such a funny little person, and she's crying again as I write the letter, and she wants to get milk, or she's sleepy! Why are there such weak creatures in the world? Why does she keep crying! β
Lu Tuyu began to describe in the letter, how he played with his daughter, how he loved his wife, and Lao Zhang saw a handful of snot and tears, disgusted in his heart, and a little envious.
The feeling of suddenly being an uncle is really ...... It's weird.
With a 14-month blank period, anything can happen.
In the blink of an eye, there is one more loved one!
"Damn, you gave birth to a daughter, why did I beat her? Why don't you have a son! Zhang Ming scolded in his mouth.
Lu Tuyu wrote in the letter: "I have to say that the overall fertility rate of the whole society is very low now. Today's young people, who have enjoyed the prosperity of the old era, have moved from thrift to luxury, and from luxury to thrift. β
"Diapers and milk powder are so expensive, and now we're using diapers again."
As a result, many people simply don't have children. The marriage rate is okay, but the fertility rate is too low. β
"I can't judge their choice, after all, whether to have children or not is a personal freedom. But I don't think Dink is a good choice in this era.
"Life is okay now, and it will only get worse in the future, getting worse every year."
"However, the next generation is growing up in poverty, they have not experienced the prosperity of the old era, and the fertility rate may recover somewhat. It is impossible for human beings to perish because of non-fertility, and the waves of the times will be wave after wave, and everything in the past will be swept away. β
"My wife asked me to say hello to you! She said she was too lazy to write to you, there was nothing to say, and you wouldn't die anyway, like a little strong. β
"I wish my brother-in-law good health! Lu Tuyu left the word. β
On the back of the letter is a color photo of a family photo, Zhang Ming's parents, sister, Lu Tuyu, plus a newborn little girl, who is crying in front of the camera.
There is also a person who is photoshopped, that is, he is Lao Zhang himself, and he still uses a photo from college, a young guy who looks quite immature.
Zhang Ming pondered the photo for a few minutes, and suddenly his breath did not ease, and he coughed heavily twice.
"Sand in my eyes."
He wiped his eyes and copied the letter and photograph into the "Memory Library" to be treasured forever.
This is his cherished memory...... It's nice that some of them are still paying attention to their loved ones.
It's nice to have a little kid in the family.
"What kind of gift should I give my little niece......" After this idea came to mind, Zhang Ming thought about it vigorously.
His large shell contains a lot of good things, from ornaments to ores to some precious curiosities.
However, for newborn children, it is not appropriate to give supernatural objects.
There are still quite a lot of unknown principles about the growth and development of the human body due to various supernatural factors, and most experts believe that children should not be overexposed to supernatural phenomena before they are minors, and in case of distortion, the gains outweigh the losses
"Let's give a little gold, although it is cheap, the gift is light and affectionate." Zhang Ming plans to personally create a gold pendant and send it back.
When he thought of the child wearing the necklace he made himself, he couldn't help but smile kindly on his face.
"Make a little turtle pendant, just right for children."
The next letter was written by Lao Wang, densely packed with a series of small characters.
"Hello Brother Zhang, it's a pleasure to hear from you! Have you finished your sailboat recently and set off? β
"The recent breakthrough in the occult has been sent over the radio, and I wonder if you have received a new generation of human breathing? Are there different insights? These can be told to me through letters. β
"Since the broadcast is relayed by Gaia Consciousness, we are not sure how long it will be relayed for you. If there is no radio in the future, our communication will undoubtedly be more troublesome. β
"The recent work has been very hard and troublesome, and looking at the world, I am the only one who has reached the double limit of [physique] and [perception]. There are already 23 people who have reached the limit of [physique]. But no one has ever broken through any of them. I have to admit that the innate gap between individuals still exists, and it is even more difficult to break through the limits of people. β
"But Brother Zhang doesn't have to worry, the society is still running stably, and it's already good to give a national cultivation method. There will always be more talent coming out. β
"But with the human breathing technique alone, the progress is still a little slow, especially when it comes to the cultivation of the spiritual realm, I always feel like a snail crawling, and the combat power of individual soldiers has never been improved, and it is very difficult to investigate abnormal phenomena."
"Recently, the world has not been at peace, and the gradual formation of the Pangea continent has led to more frequent wars."
And in some marginal areas, there is a living dead. These living dead are like zombies, muddy, but they are mimicking human behavior, and there are even signs of mass spread. β
"We sent some people to investigate what these strange disasters were, but all the investigators we sent were missing."
"In addition, there is an infectious disease that is extremely contagious, has a long incubation period and a very high mortality rate in the same marginal area, and I have been tasked to go to the area to investigate whether there is a special source of infection. You may not know the seriousness of this matter, but my superiors have told me that if the disease spreads unchecked, we will not rule out the use of strategic-grade nuclear weapons to wipe out everything in this area. β
Zhang Ming was stunned for a moment, it was really difficult for him to imagine this supernatural accident.
Wang Fumin said: "Over the years, I have also carried out many missions, and sometimes I am really physically and mentally exhausted, and I will take a plane to the east and the west again. β
"Disasters often occur in remote areas, and these disasters can spread."
"If no one solves it, it will affect us sooner or later."
"Unless we use a hydrogen bomb to blow up the entire surrounding area into a no-man's land, we don't have to worry about them, and it's clear that this is not realistic."
"I've always had an idea, since after the formation of Pangea, there are no more seven continents and four oceans, why don't you want to unify them? How nice it would be if there was only one human government in the world, and all the power was concentrated in one point! Concentrate your strength, how many big things can be done, and there is no need to talk endlessly like now! β
"Of course, my idea may be just a fantasy, or even a little naΓ―ve. The world out there is so poor that even if we want to, we can't afford it. β
"And the forces are divided, each has its own ass, and if you want that group of people to put down the power in their hands, the only thing is war and death."
"At present, we do not have enough determination and will to launch a war of unification, so we are caught in the current dilemma."
"Where there is a fire, you have to fight the fire everywhere, and if you can't save it, you will die, and if you die, it will lead to the strange state of the spread of disaster......"
Zhang Ming sighed, he could understand the troubles encountered by the earthlings, and also understood the troubles of Lao Wang.
There are more than one big country in the world, and there is not only the Great Xia Kingdom, and they can't take care of their own territory, so how can He De rescue others?
What's more, if you want to truly unify the Pangea continent, you have to reach a political consensus with several major powers and solve it through peaceful reunification, otherwise the bunch of hydrogen bombs aimed at each other are not vegetarian.
This thing is obviously still too difficult and too difficult......
He didn't have any way, unless he cultivated to the level of "Xuanwu" and destroyed the heavens and the earth at every turn, there was a slight possibility......
Lao Wang wrote at the end of the letter: "After so many complaints, let's talk about an interesting thing, youth, youth is back!" β
"RNG has finally won the fucking championship!!"
"There were a total of 8 teams in the tournament, and RNG won the championship in a crushing way, and I witnessed the first time they won the championship! After fulfilling the wishes of the fans, RNG announced that it would disband on the spot! β
"Alas, the youth came back for a moment, and then passed quietly. I'm already an old man, Lu Tuyu has given birth, I really want to go back to the Internet cafΓ© and open all day. β
"I just want to be an ordinary person, Lao Zhang, do you understand me?"
Zhang Ming laughed "hey, hey, hey", Lu Tuyu was a big troll and angry at first, but he ended up living an ordinary and peaceful life.
Pretty good.
He Lao Zhang watched them show affection, and ate dog food with envy, jealousy and hatred.
Lao Wang originally just wanted to be an ordinary person, but he became the strongest person in the world at present, and he worked hard for the whole world.
It's just eight years!
It seems like a lot of things are happening......
Fate is really unpredictable......
