New Year's Day Extra: The Night of Survival on a Desert Island for Grumpy Families (Part I)
[According to the mortal calendar, today is a special day, about tens of thousands of years ago, the ancient humans on Terra will celebrate the rotation of their home planet around the sun on this day. 】
[Seriously, until now, I don't understand why they did this. 】
"Perhaps for religious reasons, my dearest sister, you know: according to the oldest mythological texts ever discovered, the Mesopotamian mythological system......"
【……】
[Thank you for your popular science, Luo Jia: But I remember, I just asked you to adjust the contradiction between those two things and let them stop arguing, right? 】
"Yes, let me reconcile Mortarian and Magnus and settle their disputes: I think it would be easier for them to settle my dispute than to settle theirs."
It's great that you have this kind of self-knowledge. 】
“……”
So what do you do? 】
"I went to Riemanruth and hoped he would solve this problem."
[You actually went to Riemanrus with a question about Magnus?] 】
“…… I have a specialization in the art industry. ”
"Anyway, Riemanruth sounded like he was happy, and he ended up going."
[That's why our house was blown up by the storm in Magnus?] 】
“…… Cough. ”
"I don't think Riemanruth can be blamed for that: certainly not me."
The Great Speaker's gaze drifted for a moment.
"When I found Riemanus, he was taking his two wolves and helping St. Giles build a treehouse on that tree, and then, you know, when Riemanrus took his Dionysian spear and took his two wolves, and jumped down that tree and jumped in front of Magnus, that image touched Magnus somewhat...... Uh......"
[Memories of the past? 】
“…… Pretty much. ”
[So what about Magnus now?] 】
"Ah, he: he was hung on a cliff by his brothers in indignation, and Ferus made a sauce of the fish he had just caught, and smeared it on Magnus, and Chagatai was by his side: he had just made a bow."
"According to them, whether we can have a seabird feast tonight depends on whether Magnus's fish sauce is suitable for the seabirds."
【……】
[Remember to put a little more fish sauce on his eyes, oh, and on his spine.] 】
Morgan sighed, turned around, and continued to write her journal.
In fact, from the very beginning, she didn't support this New Year's Day trip, and since her original brothers finally rushed back from their respective companies, universities or associations to accompany their genetic father to spend this New Year's Day, then everyone just stayed in that big villa that was no different from the castle and had a meal.
But she apparently underestimated how idle an old man in a semi-retired state would be, this problem.
When Morgan heard that the emperor did not plan to spend New Year's Day in his large villa complex with 10,000 caretaker bodyguards, but specially bought an island where birds don't poop, and wanted to spend a [original] Chinese New Year's Eve with his sons, to be honest, she wanted to reject this foolish opinion at first.
You know, for the sake of this so-called New Year's Eve, she gave up on giving a crucial New Year's speech in front of voters: in the last vote, Morgan lost to Killyman in those fringe constituencies because of these miscellaneous reasons.
If it weren't for the fact that Killiman, the kid, had also been tied up in advance by Dorne and Clarks, Morgan wouldn't even want to come back: to engage in some pro-people means to win people's hearts during this kind of holiday, but Killiman, the current leader of the Loyalty Party, is the best trick.
I still remember that in the largest party election, in the face of the Liberal Party led by Horus and the Loyalist Party led by Dorne, fighting for the entire election month, both defeats and people's hearts were fluctuating, didn't Killiman take advantage of this critical time to take the so-called "Consensus Sacred Book" he published at the University of Macurag to win the majority of votes: he even took the opportunity to kick Dorne from the position of leader of the Loyalty Party.
Seriously, it's Dorne's temper, if Morgan had suffered all this, she would have to do something to the famous president of Maculag University: this trip to the desert island was a good choice.
Interviews, tricks, throat cuts, and body dumping: no one can detect it.
However, all this is just Morgan's fantasy after all, and Killiman's dead body is not floating on the sea, but Morgan now needs to really worry about whether he will survive until the second day of the new year.
After all, the original plan was for the twenty Brotherhood to arrive on the desert island first and clean up the villas, observation decks, and picnic areas on the island: all of this had already been done by the Emperor's Martian Foundry Company a few months ago, and the Primordials only needed to bring down the food from the ship, set up the plates, and wait until the Emperor, who was busy with the work at hand, arrived on the island with his dear secretary Machado, and spent this unexpected New Year's Eve together.
It seemed like a matter of plan, and the emperor did not even let his children and grandchildren bring any retinue or retinue: in his words, such a feast did not require the presence of outsiders, and he trusted that his sons and daughters would be able to arrange everything needed for the dinner.
Of course, as for his favorite Horus, after he said this, he asked the question of whether Macado was an outsider, and naturally was magnificently ignored by their merciful father.
But the chairman of the Terra Group and the first leader of the Loyalty Party apparently did not realize a problem: his dear twenty good sons had not been brothers and sisters since childhood, and when they became adults, they were constantly fighting because of the budget and political votes, and his plan was like driving a dozen wild boars into a porcelain shop from the moment they were put on a desert island.
Within fifteen minutes, the situation was completely out of control.
Magnus and Riemanrus, Dorn and Perturabo, Chagatai and Motarian, and Vogrim and Ferrus.
Within fifteen minutes of landing, the first three groups of men and horses fought on the spot, so that everyone had to rush up and pull them away, constantly persuading them to value peace.
Then the two hugged each other in public within five minutes of landing, gnawing each other's lips, so that everyone had to rush up again to pull them apart, reminding them that it was now a public place.
And then?
Then Vogrim was even more excited.
But in fact, at this moment, things are not particularly bad: until Magnus, who was beaten by Riemanrus from persuasion to persuasion for blowing up the villa that was originally used to spend the night, and then was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, shouted "I want to tell Dad", and took out the latest product he had participated in the research in the research laboratory of Cinnage University.
Morgan knew that it was a global positioning mobile phone that was said to have a super signal, and the original advertising slogan was "strong to explosive performance".
As it turned out, it was indeed explosive.
Magnus's mobile phone blew up one of his arms and directly overloaded the only signal tower set up by the Mars Foundry Company on this desert island with a super strong signal, and by the way, he threw Vulcan, who was connecting new wires to the tower.
All they could see was their trusty black brother drawing a flaming meteor arc in mid-air, smashing precisely into the ship that was still moored in the offshore area, and the brilliant light of the fire was even better than the last rays of sunset on the horizon.
Before the charred Vulcans were washed up on the beach by the waves, they could only use their silence to watch the ship carrying them on their way back, and all the ships that had stored food, quickly and resolutely, sink into the icy sea.
Yes, thanks to the few living treasures on the beach that were quickly fighting or engaged, every one of the primordial bodies was trying to fight, or taking advantage of the opportunity to fish, and had no heart to load or unload their food: and these wise men soon realized this, and they stood on the beach with inexplicable pathos.
At least at this moment, everything seems to be in harmony.
The only thing that was a little discordant was Conrad, who walked up to Vulcan and poked his burnt skin: he woke up a dozen hungry bellies present with a single word.
"What do you say......"
Conrad poked Vulgan's belly, which smelled of strange burnt.
"Can this be used as a main course?"
——————
And just as Magnus was revealing his astonishing wisdom in front of everyone, Morgan, who was standing far away, was making a phone call, and the emperor was on the other end of the phone.
[Yes, my father is me.] 】
[Huh? What did you say? 】
[What do you mean, you can't come?] 】
Morgan let out a ridiculous laugh.
[You pulled us out of our respective companies from afar, and threw us all the way to this desert island, and now you tell me again: You can't come? 】
[Aunt Erda, what's wrong with her? Haven't you already signed the divorce agreement with her? She's suing you again? Are you still going to fight for custody of a few of us? 】
[Isn't this kind of judgment guaranteed to win? Why did you have to choose to attend this time? …… Oh, the lawyer on the other side is called Xin Liezhi? I see. 】
【……】
[Don't worry, father, although I'm pretty sure that the information you can't come will make a few brothers frustrated: well, there should be some people who are frustrated, but there is still no problem with our twenty genetic protogens alive on this island, yes, the house...... There was a slight problem with the house, but the food and spare tents were still on board, and we would consider this a summer camp, yes, back in two days. 】
[Yes, I know, enough food for us to eat for a week, don't worry, we have no problem, Horus and I will watch a few of them, you can concentrate on your court appearance, by the way, don't forget to give Mr. Machado an annual leave. 】
[No annual leave? Is it okay to get a year-end bonus? 】
[There is no year-end bonus, don't you have any New Year's gifts or anything like that?] 】
【…… What did you say? 】
[What do you mean that he didn't even have a salary, just food and shelter? ] 】
【……】
[Forget it.] 】
【……】
[Okay, don't worry, everything will be fine......]
"Bang !!"
【……】
[uh......]
[It seems to have a ...... now Father? Feed? Are you still there? 】
[Father? Father? The Emperor? Old man Huang? Old and immortal? Are you still there? 】
[Hey? Feed! Speak! Say ......]
【……】
Morgan's eyes narrowed.
With a beeping sound, the three big words "No Signal" appeared on Morgan's mobile phone screen, and she looked up to see the only signal tower on the island, burning in front of Magnus's amazing wisdom, like a pillar of fire soaring into the sky.
【……】
【……】
【……】
[Sleep. 】
——————
"So, is this the situation we're facing right now?"
"Our house is in the sky, our food is in the boat, our ship is at the bottom of the sea, our signal tower is in another world, and the nearest support we can count on ......"
"At least a week, Horus."
It was Gilliman who answered the wolf herder.
"Before I left, I looked at the charts and maritime records in the area, and even if the fastest ships arrived here, it would take three days, and even if they were to find out that something was wrong as quickly as possible and rush to the rescue, it would take at least a week."
“……”
"How long do we have enough food? Didn't you take some when you landed on the island? ”
"Roga was carrying a column of instant coffee, Angel was holding a stack of fruit plates, Riemanruth had two tubes of mead hidden in his crotch, Morgan had ten boxes of soft cookies in his pocket, and Conrad, and he had half an uneaten baguette in his hand: he was beating Magnus with it."
“……”
"I'm talking about dinner: don't we have anyone with a meal?"
"Yes, when Johnson landed on the island, he took a plate of frozen British dishes by the way."
“……”
"Very well, that is, we didn't have dinner at all."
Horus nodded sadly.
"I never thought that my first wish for the New Year would be to live, and this is a kind of classical tragedy: what should we do now, you say?"
“……”
“……”
[I think ......]
As soon as Morgan spoke, it caught the attention of all present, and she froze, and then looked around at her brothers who were sitting beside her, discussing this serious issue with her: they were the relatively [reliable] ones of the primordial body.
[Let's think about it: What is your first reaction when you encounter those unsolvable problems? 】
“……”
"Build a wall."
"Eat fruit."
"Write a holy book."
"Drunk yourself."
"Let the galaxy burn."
【……】
[Forget it: when I didn't say anything.] 】
