Chapter 267: The identity of the old patriarch
My whole son and I took turns resting, and in addition to driving the boat, we had to keep the motor from overheating. Due to our lack of previous experience, the two of us stopped the boat, and after a long time of running a motor, we finally couldn't hold on to the black smoke.
With no nautical charts and no maps, we managed to get lost after a night of walking.
The sun rises in the east, and we can only stop and re-orient. The morning was the most pleasant time of the day, and I was counting our prescriptions while I sat in the stern of the boat fishing.
Suddenly, she jumped up from the stern of the boat like an electric shock, threw me a gun, and said to me, "Get down and get ready to fight!" β
"What's the situation?" I asked hurriedly.
"There's a small boat coming!" Jeonko said.
"Maybe the Chen family sent a ship to search for us?" I said.
"It's not like it's hard to spot them if I wasn't a sniper, their boats and costumes are almost the same color as the sea!" Jeonko said.
"Is it so sci-fi?" I looked up in disbelief and saw that the water was calm and there were no ships approaching.
By the time we reacted, we were already in an encirclement.
I was unconvinced and scolded, "I've heard of aircraft stealth, and now ships can also be stealth?" β
With our hands raised, I watched as the people from the four boats around us were dressed, apparently professionally trained, with short guns, face shields, and clothes and hats made of special materials.
One of them shouted at us in English, "Who are you and why are you here?" β
"Do you have anyone who can speak Chinese?" I asked.
At this time, another person asked again in Chinese.
I said, "Do you believe me that we are adventurers?" β
"An adventurer in an old-fashioned assault boat? Do you think we'll believe it? The man continued, "Don't act rashly, follow us!" "After that, he threw us a piece of rope.
Quanzi and I glanced at each other, I didn't know what the identity of these people was, it was not good to be aggressive at the moment, so I could only follow them obediently.
We walked through a calm sea, and then several deserted islands appeared in front of us, and the water began to narrow.
"There are scouts in the trees, on the ground, and in the water, and these people are masters!" The quality of individual soldiers is not much worse than ours! β
"I can't imagine that there is such a mysterious army in the world!" I muttered.
"What do you think it's stationed here for?" Jeonko said.
"Of course, it's against the Wansheng Stone!" I said.
"Yes, that's what I thought!" Jeonko said.
We went ashore and our precious assault boats and weapons were confiscated. Walking through the beach, I found a pine and cypress tree that didn't match the tropical island! On a nearby stone reads, "Many of the people buried in the ground are anonymous, but what they do is immortal!" "Written in five languages: Chinese, English, Russian, Spanish, and Arabic.
At this moment, a woman in a strong suit walked towards us, wearing sunglasses, a mask, and a pistol pinned to her waist. She waved at the soldiers behind us, and then led us to the side of the pine and cypress trees, and in the distance I saw a tombstone that read "Wang Haiyan is buried here"!
"It turns out that Wang Haiyan's body was stolen by you?" I said.
"We didn't steal it, we took her away according to her previous instructions!" The woman replied.
"Hey, you're so clever, we don't even know it!" Jeonko said.
"It's not clever! Many of your acquaintances are buried here, but they don't have tombstones! Wang Haiyan's identity is relatively special, she is one of the few people who can set up a monument! The woman said.
The woman continued to lead us forward, and I saw several familiar names in the distance: Chen Yuanjiu, Chen Shaolong, Chen Shaohu, Han Zhizhi, Wang Dingwu, Wang Qiyun, Wang Qinghua, Xiang Dongfang, Zhao Zhi'an, Zhao Dongfeng, Zhao Dongyu, Zhao Yin'er, Fan Changlong, Fan Qun'an, Qin Shishi, Fan Qunping, Fan Qunchi, Fan Xiaomei, Liu Changzhu...
"Old Five!" Quanzi exclaimed, "He just died, and he died on the spaceship, how do you know?" β
"We know everything!" The girl replied.
"Theyβ" I find it hard to believe that they will be put together when they die, and many of them are already dead in the sea.
"They are the ones who died in the fight against alien creatures, they are the ones who have made a great contribution in the fight against alien creatures... Their bodies are gone, but their spirits are immortal! The woman said.
"It seems that the four of us may still be able to erect a monument here in the future!" Jeonko said in the back.
"I'm afraid it's impossible!" An old voice came from behind, and when we looked back, it almost made our jaws drop.
The person who came was none other than the crazy old patriarch of the Taoist Village next to the throat before.
"How are you?" I asked, surprised.
"Yes, it's me!" The old patriarch replied.
The old patriarch waved his hand at the girl beside us, and the girl consciously stepped aside to stand upright.
"At the beginning, I thought that you should be better than the blue, but I don't think that you are not enough to succeed and more than to lose!" The old patriarch said angrily.
"Hey, old man, why don't I understand what you're saying!" Quanzi said with some dissatisfaction, "Do you know that the spaceship of Wanshengshi was blown up by the two of us, and that guy from Wanshengshi has been cleaned up by us and is now lying on the bottom of the sea, what do you want?" β
"Young man, let me ask you, where did the spaceship go before you bombed it?" The old patriarch asked.
"Who knows where it went!" Quanzi said unashamedly.
"You set its main power module on fire, and it escaped into outer space!" The old patriarch said excitedly.
"But it didn't run away, didn't it fall into the sea again!" I said.
"But what you don't know is that its ultimate purpose is to escape to outer space!" The old patriarch said, "As long as the speed of light allows it to send a signal, it is enough!" β
"Signaling?" My whole son and I were even more incredulous, "What signal?" β
"For hundreds of millions of years, it has been plundering Earth's resources and searching for ways to connect with its home planet. After tens of millions of years of exploration, it has discovered that its spacecraft's signal cannot penetrate the Earth's atmosphere, and can only send its ultimate signal in outer space, and you have helped it to complete the final blow. The old patriarch said excitedly.
"Cut, I didn't believe your nonsense, so it flew into outer space as you said, how can you tell that it sent a signal?" Jeonko asked.
"That's a good question, but you blew up its ship, which makes it impossible for us to find out from the ship whether the signal was successful or not, and we can only plan for the worst for now."
"What's the worst-case scenario?" I asked.
"Find out all the information about the alien invasion." The old patriarch said.
"Hey, I don't understand!" Quanzi also became excited, "You fucking know the ins and outs of everything, why didn't you make it clear to us when we first met, we suffered so hard, so many people died, and you told us what we did wrong when we came back in such a big circle!" Shouldn't you do that? Why the hell did you go earlier, Lao Tzu told you, don't think that you are old, you can rely on the old and sell the old in front of us, and shirk your responsibility! β
I motioned for Quanzi to shut up, but I couldn't hold it back when he got excited, and Quanzi continued, "That's right, the ship was blown up by us!" Let's not talk about whether it successfully emitted a signal, and even if it did? Since its ship can be blown up by us once, we can blow it up a second and third time! Phew..."
Seeing Quanzi tearing his face, I must unswervingly support Quanzi, I shouted, "Quanye said well!" I'm also phew... You are afraid of the Ten Thousand Life Stone, but we are not afraid! β
The old patriarch was scolded by us thoroughly, and he looked at me and Quanzi with a trembling cane beside us, blushing and thick-necked, but he was not angry at all.
"You two stinky boys, if your parents were still alive, you two would have to be beaten to death with a stick! I even dared to scold me for being my son. The old patriarch said, "Thanks to my good temper and cultivation!" I'm too lazy to meet you juniors in general, come on, you two go take a shower first, and come to me when you're done! β
"Don't go, if you want to die or live, give a happy word!" I said.
The old patriarch ignored us and walked towards the sea on the other side, hunched over.
At this moment, the sea breeze is light, and the waves are choppy! Quanzi and I also felt that each other was covered in a fishy smell, coupled with a scruffy beard, and the clothes were already in tatters, which was really miserable.
The girl came up to us and said in a stiff tone, "Follow me!" β
We came to a stone door, the girl stretched out her hand and pressed it gently, the stone door opened, and when we stepped in, we found that there was a hole inside. Walking through a glass hallway, you will find that the space inside is huge, with countless rooms and people.
Everyone was busy, and no one cared about us two strangers. Through the glass I saw several huge screens hanging in one of the rooms, showing the weather, wind direction, ocean currents, and other information at the moment!
"Did they hollow out the mountain?" Jeonko said.
"I'm not concerned about this mountain, it's about who these are, whether they are friends or foes to us?" I said.
The girl in front of her sneered, "If we were your enemies, you two wouldn't have made it here alive!" β
"Who is that old patriarch of you?" I asked.
"Alright, your room is here, and someone will bring you clothes later! Wait in your room after tidying up a bit, don't move around, I'll send someone to take you to dinner!" The girl replied in a non-compliant reply.
At this time, Quanzi mischievously said, "What if we walk around at will?" β
"Then you can try!" The girl said coldly.
"Iβ" I motioned to Jeonko not to be like her.
We arrived at the room and within a minute someone brought clean clothes and shoes and socks. Quanzi and I took turns grooming and helping each other shave our hair and beards, and finally returned to our civilized appearance.
The whole room was just two bottles of boiling water, two beds and two chairs, and there were no windows, no tables, and no electrical appliances.
"yes, it's no different from going to jail!" After several attempts, she found that the door would not open at all.
"I can't imagine that this old patriarch is the real hidden!" I said.
"Hmph, I don't think these old guys have any good things!" Jeonko said, "Being stuffed in this room now is not as comfortable as we were on a desert island before. β
"Don't complain, at least you don't have to be in the wind and rain now!" I sat in my chair and pondered.
Obviously, this is a meeting point or base camp for dealing with Wansheng Stone, this island is hidden in the ocean, and it is not far from the spaceship, so the location is very suitable. However, judging from those tombstones, there seems to be no distinction between the four major families here. From the strange ancient writing on some tombstones, it can be inferred that this base should have existed for a long time.
It's just that everything here is so futuristic that we don't want to believe for a moment that this is actually a human base.
The knock on the door of "Bang Bang Bang" came, and Quan Zi stood up, "Gotta hey, let's have a full meal first, I'm really tired of eating sea fish and shrimp these days!" β
As a result, as soon as Quanzi opened the door, a familiar face appeared at the door, and we were startled and blurted out, "It's you!" β
