Chapter 126: The Natives of the Other World Who Worship

PS: Ask for a monthly pass, recommended, thank you.

Yes, of course, this method is not necessarily useful, but it is the easiest and most likely way to do it. ”

Zhang Lisheng thought for a while, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and nodded approvingly, "This is indeed a good idea, it's better than blindly spinning around in the sea, have you told the captain your idea?"

"The captain had already thought of this without me reminding him, and as soon as the cruise ship ran aground, he had already asked the navigator to start checking the track of the course recorded on the nautical chart.

And the first problem now is not how to get back to the sea, but how to get the ship out of the stuck pillar. ”

The boys in the high school in the United States generally seem not so smart and cooperative, but their personalities are competitive and childish, but this Yudullah is obviously completely different from his classmates, and his speech is always straight to the point.

His performance aroused Zhang Lisheng's agreement, "Then is there anything you can do about it, Yudulla?"

"Fortunately, these two large pillars stand in the sea, and my idea is to take advantage of the low tide to build a bonfire with wood under the stone pillars to continuously heat the stone pillars.

When the tide rises, the heat expands and contracts, combined with the huge torsion of the ship, hoping to break the stone pillars. ”

Using the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction to break a stone pillar more than ten meters thick sounds like a fantasy, but it is actually very feasible.

It can even be said that as long as the texture of the stone pillar conducts heat, it does not need the help of the torsion of the 'Elizabeth Holiday', as long as it is damaged by thermal expansion and cold contraction at its roots, the giant pillar will be crushed by its own weight sooner or later.

"That sounds like a no-brainer?"

"Our captain said the same, and I suppose that when the tide recedes at dawn, he will gather his men to the shore to cut wood.

There should be enough fire axes on such a large cruise ship, and the key is whether the natives on the island are good 'tin men' or evil 'queens'?"

The Tin Man and the Queen are both characters in "Alice in Wonderland". The former is a powerful helper of the protagonist, and the latter is the villain.

"Let's hope they're all tin people. Tricy, who had always been a little absent-minded, suddenly whispered.

Compared with the Catholic girl, after listening to Yudullah's words, Zhang Lisheng thought about a more critical issue, it would take time to destroy the huge stone pillars in the sea, and since the 'Elizabeth Holiday' was originally planned to sail around the waters off New York, the food it brought must be very limited.

As soon as food is scarce, the rabble on the ship will be in chaos at once, and it will only be a joke to say that they will work together to cut down trees and burn fires to destroy the stone pillars.

The questions that Zhang Lisheng can think of, Fiona, the captain of the 'Elizabeth Holiday', can naturally think of. As dawn approached, he dragged his tired body back to the wheelhouse and asked the third officer, who had counted the supplies, "Angela, how much food is left on the ship?"

"The uneaten cake was about 1,400 pounds, and 3,700 eggs... A thousand pounds of flour. If you save some food, it's enough for the whole boat..."

"There is not much fuel on the ship, and we only have one chance to break free from the stone pillar, and it is undoubtedly self-defeating to save food at this time.

The food is piled up on the table at dawn, and all the men who get off the boat to cut wood can eat as they please, and as for the men who are unwilling to contribute, they are only given two pounds of bread like women..."

"Your Excellency, in this case, I am afraid that the hearts of those who have managed to stabilize will collapse at once. ”

"No, as long as there is a way to escape, people's hearts will not collapse. But if the ship can't break free of the pillar at high tide...

Pray young people, may God bless us..."

When the old man said the last sentence, the first rays of sunlight slowly pierced the pitch-black sea level.

"It's dawn, it's dawn, look at it's the sun. That's obviously the sun of the earth, we, we're still on the earth..."

"Still on Earth, you're saying we're going around the coast of New York. As a result, a New World was discovered like Columbus?

Wake up, man, we must have reached the otherworldly realm, to an otherworldly realm where the sun and the earth are very similar..."

"It's already dawn, and those torches are still approaching us, and it seems that the natives of this world are walking really slowly," the sun flashed out, causing a commotion among the people on deck who had been nervous all night long, and who were already a little dazed.

Suddenly, one of the tall boys excitedly pointed to a short figure wearing a black animal skin with a torch in hand and shouted out of the dense forest, "And, and they are still very short, hell, have we arrived in the country of dwarves?"

"That's a dwarf, hell, we're in the world of D&D (Dungeons & Dragons), it's amazing. ”

"They weren't Dwarves in D&D, they didn't have big beards, they looked like gnomes, but gnomes were more civilized. ”

"Speaking of civilization, I think your civilization level should be higher, those primitive people don't understand the fear, don't you understand it either?" Listening to the heated discussions of the young people around him who were gradually excited, and looking at the more and more dwarfs on the shore who looked very similar to those who were gouged out last night, Zhang Lisheng muttered with an embarrassed face.

"It's really dwarfs, maybe we should get in touch with them, they are so short and thin, they seem to know that the Tao is harmless and kind, are you right?"

"I'm small and weak compared to you, do you think I'm harmless to strangers who can't tell friend from foe?"

Zhang Lisheng's words made Tina stunned for a moment, and then the girl couldn't help but shudder when she thought of the young man's resolute attitude towards strangers who might be potential enemies, "For, why do you say that..."

Zhang Lisheng looked at the more and more people gathered on the shore, looked up at the 'Elizabeth Holiday' that was stuck by the stone pillar in horror, and the dwarfs who were dancing and screaming wow, made a silent gesture towards Tina, "Don't ask Tina, in short, you remember that those dwarfs are very dangerous creatures, and you must not touch them alone." ”

Under the gaze of the young man, the gnomes on the shore shouted excitedly for a while, and suddenly one by one they fell to their knees and bowed to the huge steel steamer.

"The natives are kneeling down to us, on their knees to us, and they may think of us as 'gods'!

Oh, that's funny..."

"In the eyes of primitive people, we are actually similar to gods, just take a lighter from the ship and give it to them, so that they don't have to drill wood to make fire, and change the course of their entire civilization..."

"Don't say that about Jack, as outsiders we shouldn't think we're above the natives, but we should tell them that we're a group of victims and need their help..."

The young people on the deck saw the natives under the ship bowing to the top of the ship, and their hearts were much less afraid, and their faces couldn't help but show an inexplicable sense of superiority, pointing and talking to the dwarfs under the ship, and some even wanted to get off the boat and communicate with the natives of the island.

And Zhang Lisheng watched the dwarfs kneel down vigorously on the sharp sand that could easily cut people's skin, but there was not a single scar on his body, and he couldn't help but tighten the mountain toad in his arms.

"Your Excellency, I think we should get in touch with the indigenous people of this island, and they seem to have a lot of respect for us, and as long as we maintain a good attitude, I believe there will be no accidents. In the wheelhouse, from the lookout window, I saw a dwarf kneeling on the beach like beans in the distance, and the first mate, who was bent on atonement, suggested to the captain.

"When I was younger, I used to be a third mate on the Iceberg, which ran the route from New York to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and these gnomes looked and felt like the natives of African tribes.

That said, they may think strangely, completely different from our logical way of thinking, and showing respect does not mean that there is no danger. ”

"But don't you still have to gather people to get off the ship and cut down the wood?

If those gnomes don't leave, we have to have contact with them, so it's better now..."

"Wait, wait patiently for Harry, and when it gets light and the tide recedes completely, and if the gnomes don't leave, we'll get off the boat and make contact with them.

Tell someone to prepare a safety axe, and also, have the ship's security guards load their bullets. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. Harry nodded and strode out of the wheelhouse, telling the sailors to get ready to disembark.

As a luxury ocean liner, the 'Elizabeth' Holiday was very safe on its usual routes, but the necessary measures to prevent shipwrecks were very thorough, and under the order of the first mate, in a short time more than 50 sailors armed with safety axes and 10 security guards with spears were ready.

By this time the gnomes on the shore had been worshipping the 'Elizabethan Holiday' for a long time, and perhaps they felt that their sincerity was sufficient, so they rose up from the sand, led by a chieftain with a long fluttering feather tied to his head, and ran into the woods with a shout of excitement.

The captain breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the gnomes departing from the lookout window, and after seeing the last of the natives burrow into the forest, he picked up the microphone on the radio station and said loudly: "Dear passengers, I am Fiona Nightinga, captain of the Elizabeth's Holiday.

I think everyone already knows that we are somehow caught up in a predicament.

As Captain, I will do everything I can to lead you out of this difficult situation and return to New York in victory, but it will take all of us to work together to do so..."

After a thorough analysis of the stakes of destroying the giant pillars that had stuck the ship by means of thermal expansion and contraction, Fiona proposed that the men on the ship voluntarily disembark and cut wood, but of course, due to the limited tools, most of them actually went to the mountains and forests to collect branches.

The boys of New York, who had not experienced any danger, did not need the temptation of food to excitedly express their willingness to get off the ship immediately and contribute to the escape of the "Elizabeth Holiday" as soon as possible. (To be continued.) )
