The infinite evolution of the system

The sailor plopped down on the wet deck, looked around in surprise, touched his face fiercely, and found that he had returned to the boat, he was stunned for a while.I still didn't understand why I came back, but I was kicked in the butt: "Why are you in a daze? Work if you're not dead, get out!"

The sailor ran away, but the bearded sailor turned his head to look at Alexander who stood behind Zhou Xing again. His expression was calm. Alexander had returned to normal. Naturally, he couldn't find where the wings were, but, so many Everyone has seen it. The bearded man is sure that he is not dazzled. If it is not dazzled, it can only prove that Zhou Xing is indeed weird. Although there is no shortage of weirdness and mystery in this world, he still stared at Alexander.

"Dude, don't act like this. He is my partner and your partner. His duty is to protect you. You see, he has already done so." He has lived on the sky for most of his life, and was even lucky enough to hear the banshee's singing, but he has never seen anyone who can fly by himself.

Zhou Xing is the hirer of this ship, and he is in an active position in the system setting, and if he has other thoughts at sea, it will lead to the death of everyone on the ship, as long as there is no malice.The first mate would have no opinion.

The bearded man nodded, and left immediately without staying. At this time, he was very busy. The captain had to take the helm, and he was in charge of other affairs, so there was no time to waste.

The Voyager is advancing bravely in the wind and waves, and there are experienced sailors to control the ship. No matter how strong the wind and waves are, the ship can be safe all the way, no matter how strong the wind is blowing, no matter what will hit the ship in the next moment No matter how weird and unpredictable the waves are, no matter how intense the undercurrent is, the wooden boat that seems to be crumbling has been persisting in the wind and waves. From the captain to the sailors, they have been on the same boat for a long time. There are also bigger storms.

Of course, the most important thing is that it is impossible for the system to eliminate everyone in the first storm. It seems that Zhou Xing's ship is relatively optimistic. Many host ships are rolling in the wind and waves. Zhou Xing prepared some in advance, at least with basic water-based specialization, able to maintain thinking ability and solve some problems in the wind and waves, but quite a few people couldn't adapt to the bumps of the ship, and the wind and waves tossed them so that they had no extra energy to focus on other things. Naturally, he didn't care about those sailors who seemed insignificant, and let those sailors who fell into the water flutter for a while before losing their voices.

Those people will pay the price sooner or later.

For those who have not experienced the stormy sea, it is always difficult to imagine how people can protect themselves in front of the majestic power of the world.Sailors cursed loudly in bad weather and worked hard to keep the wooden boat from capsizing.Zhou Xing’s knowledge of how to steer a ship some time ago enabled Zhou Xing to understand what the sailors were doing and why they were doing it. This allowed him to help out occasionally, and those hosts who passively entered the world of Pirates of the Caribbean would be out of luck. .

The preparatory work before entering the mission world is not enough for them to learn and understand the knowledge of ship handling, and water-based specialization is not a must for every adventurer.

A flash of lightning struck down in the sky, seeming to plunge into the sea water. With a bang, the sky and the earth were lit up for a moment. Although it was only a moment of light, Zhou Xing could clearly see things near and far, like the end of the world Usually, the wind is howling and the sea is roaring, venting the most primitive, powerful and crazy power.

The sea level rose suddenly without any warning, not to mention the roar of the wind, and the flying rain blurred the vision. Even if you saw it, it was too late, until a wave appeared out of thin air, and the ship was completely lost. When the wrong ship capsized and sank, the surrounding ships hurried away from that area.

This is not the end, the wave is gradually rising, getting higher and higher, almost rising to the top of the clouds, and it is hard to see how high it is. When it finally exhausted and showed a downward trend, Zhou Xing suddenly shouted: "The wave is coming!" Here it comes! The waves are coming!! Turn the rudder, turn the rudder!!"

There is no need for Zhou Xing to order anything else. The captain who has been holding the roulette and calling for the sailors to move has already called many times. Although the sailors are already working hard, and the ship has finally responded slowly, it seems It didn't have much effect, the overwhelming waves pouring in one direction are gradually pressing on the top of Zhou Xing's head, it seems very slow, but the rumbling sound like the roar of an engine has already resounded in his ears, and the light above his head dimmed again Some, there were not many light sources in the first place, and it looked almost dark.

The captain, who tied himself to the flagpole, yelled, "Bastards, don't hurry up? Hoist the sails and turn the rudder sixteen degrees to port!"

It is a strong wind, and raising the sails when turning the rudder can save time and leave this dangerous area before the waves fall, but the accompanying risks are also great. If it overturns and is submerged by the ensuing waves, then everyone on the boat will die.

But compared to being submerged by the waves, there is always a little life in the adventure and struggle. Of course, this requires luck and the cooperation of everyone to do it.

The bearded first mate was already yelling and yelling, but he moved quickly. He was like the transmission shaft for the operation of the machine. The sailor was the most basic part, and his orders were crucial to the sailor's work arrangement.

But at this time, it seems that the efforts of the sailors have not had much effect.

The speed of the waves is definitely faster than the speed of the ship. The ship will also be affected by many external factors. It is impossible for a ship with a lot of cargo to escape in advance, just like an ant that is about to be swallowed. As long as the sea with its mouth wide open waits for the waves to fall, the ship will be destroyed.

"No, this won't work, there is no escape at all!" Zhou Xing stood on the deck and watched for a while, and found that the facts were very cruel. If he didn't do something, the ship would sink without accident, although he didn't think his own The boat would be directly smashed into pieces by the waves, but as long as the boat capsizes like the unlucky guy before, it will declare that his mission has failed, and the price of failure is to be obliterated. Zhou Xing can't accept his own death like this.

If you are not lucky, you can only rely on your own efforts to change some of the status quo.

Zhou Xing found the captain.

The captain tied it to the flagpole, held the roulette in his hand, and yelled. When he saw Zhou Xing, he was very surprised, because the ship was bumping and shaking from side to side all the time. The old man who had lived on the ship all his life The sailors couldn't stand still, and it was undoubtedly the safest place to tie themselves, but what he saw was that Zhou Xing just held on to the fence and stood firm, and the man behind him was even more outrageous, he was so stable Standing firmly on the deck, the wet, unsteady deck didn't seem to exist in Alexander's eyes. He stood firmly and his body was straight.

"It seems that I must do something, Captain, the situation is not good." Zhou Xing said in a deep voice.

"No, you can't do anything. You should go back to the cabin. If our ship sinks, you can take the boat in the buttocks of the ship and leave." The captain said loudly.After saying a word, he immediately turned his head and gave a series of orders to the busy sailors around him.

"Don't doubt my ability and his ability, I won't leave either, I just hope you can tell me what to do." Zhou Xing's attitude was surprisingly firm, which surprised the captain a bit. In the captain's consciousness, any rental Merchants on their own ships are afraid of death, and keeping their own lives is always the most important thing. I didn't expect Zhou Xing to say that.

"Okay ok, you see, our boat will get hit by that goddamn wave, we need to speed up, you know? Speed ​​up to get out of here, as long as we can avoid the frontal attack of the wave, my sailors can guarantee the boat And everything on board is safe!" The captain yelled without thinking, and immediately grabbed the wooden roulette and cursed the damn weather.

Zhou Xing nodded, turned and left without saying anything else.

For driving this kind of antique ship, he definitely can't help at all. He can only use his own method. Fortunately, he doesn't have to drive the ship to speed up the ship. He naturally has his own advantages. Don't forget , he still has Alexander, his own strength and skills are all variables.

Soon, the sailors on the ship saw a strange scene. A man with a pair of wings wrapped the anchor around the sharp corner of the ship's bow several times.

Due to the reasons of the times, the current ships have a single attack method. In addition to artillery, they can only rely on the springboard for close combat. However, many pirates will install a sharp horn in front of the ship, wrap the iron sheet, and even rely on impact to kill the enemy. .Although the Voyager did not reinforce the ramming angle in front of the ship, it fully considered this possibility, and it was also because of the design concept. Anyway, the part extending from the tip of the ship is very strong, so that it can forcibly chisel out when hitting a large ship. A hole comes.

What Alexander has to do is not difficult. His body after strengthening his bloodline is extremely strong. He has never experienced any limits. He just knows that his strength has far surpassed before. When he flew into the sky with a pure iron anchor today Only then did he realize how strong his own was, and the hundreds of pounds of anchor only made him feel a little bit of difficulty. After Zhou Xing had observed the direction, he quickly flew high, and then threw the anchor in his hand out!

The iron chain connecting the anchor rattled fast, and all the sailors were horrified to find that the anchor, which took several people to barely lift, flew out like a toy in the hands of the man with wings. After turning around, the ship, which had no time to speed up to leave, was shaken violently by the collapsed iron chain, and then the whole ship accelerated.

"What are you still doing in a daze? Ah? Speed, speed, let's act!" The captain had no time to marvel, he yelled, and the first mate, the second mate and the leadership figures woke up like a dream. They put away their horror, and what came to their hearts was surprise. Immediately after shouting loudly, the sailors also moved.

The clacking sound didn't stop, Alexander stood at the bow, dragged the wet iron chain up, and when he held the anchor again, he flew high again, holding the anchor and throwing it out fiercely.

Fortunately, the place where Zhou Xing's ship is located is very dangerous, and because of the weather, the light is very bad, and you can't see anything a little farther away. It is estimated that only Zhou Xing's Voyager is still in this place. Struggling, those ships that could run away have already slipped away.

And it's not just this one wave, the whole sea seems to be in anger, roaring and rolling, trying to swallow everything.For the hosts who are not yet able to control nature, and whose strength is not against the sky, the battle at sea is compared to comprehensive strength, compared to water quality, compared to ships, compared to ship control knowledge, compared to people's understanding and adaptability to nature, compared to weather The degree of utilization varies, compared to various unplanned factors.

Zhou Xing didn't know whether the other hosts who entered the mission scene could survive the storm smoothly, but he knew that if he felt bad, then everyone must feel bad.

The storm in front of me was like a hurricane whistling in a secret room, with a low and peculiar whirl sound, and waves of wind and waves rushed to the surface of the ship.

The storm is like a naughty god, playing tricks on the hosts.The power of nature never needs to be doubted, and the power of human beings is never worth mentioning in front of nature. Even for the hosts who have the help of the system and have mastered supernatural power, when they grow up, they will become powerful. Before getting up, they will all be in absolute awe of nature.

The storm that entered the mission world eliminated five people, leaving 41 people. Zhou Xing didn't know if the 41 people had lost or not. He only knew that when the cheers of the sailors sounded on his boat, he had already lost three sailors. , You know, everyone on this ship is precious, and if one is missing, one will be missing, and more may be lost due to lack of manpower when the next storm comes.

But this is also something that can't be helped, Zhou Xing can only lament his bad luck, he didn't expect to encounter such bad things in the first place.

The storm finally subsided gradually, and a ray of sunshine suddenly appeared in the sky.The sun broke through the dark clouds and sprinkled on the ground, like the brilliance falling from heaven, bringing infinite vitality.Let the sailors on Voyager give out more cheers. Many exhausted sailors sat on the wet deck. There is nothing more joyful than the rest of your life after a catastrophe. If there is wine at this time, I believe these sailors will not begrudge it.

The storm came quickly and ferociously, but it also went swiftly. The hurricane ceased, and the sea suddenly returned to calm.

Under the blue sky, seagulls flew by in groups, and the sunlight shone in large swathes of light in the refraction of the waves, shining like gold falling down.Some ships on the sea are raising their sails again. After experiencing that storm, the hosts are about to go on the road again.

There are many things on the sea surface, including ship debris, large and small packages, and people who have not died calling for help in the water.Some ships will rescue sailors. It seems that there are many hosts who understand the importance of sailors, but those hosts who lost their ships are not rescued. Even once they see hosts in the water, most of the ships will leave directly.

This is a free mode. Every host, unless it is a good friend or a regular team member, is not worthy of trust.

A host drifting at sea might still want to wait for someone to save him.But his ship was destroyed and his cargo was gone. Even if he was rescued now, he still had no choice but to die.Saving the other party is just creating a danger for oneself to covet one's own ship and cargo.

More and more ships are appearing on the sea. This storm did not drive everyone away, but brought many people closer.

Overlords seek out each other's friends while wary of rivals.Unless it is a sure friend, no one wants to get close to anyone easily.Zhou Xing even saw flags raised on some ships

However, Zhou Xing doesn't know a friend, and his most sensible choice now is to avoid some people with malicious intentions, because he has seen several of the same flags gathered together, it must be a relatively large group, and they can be separated from each other. It's a little far away, so he can't see what the pattern is, otherwise he can tell what team the other party is based on the information he inquired before. After all, some of the more famous teams are actually not many, and some teams can be distinguished by the number of people in the team. Because this is still a world where hot weapons are the main theme, capable veterans who can freely choose are definitely not willing to waste time in this world, so it can be inferred that unless the people who enter this world are those who have to endure The time-limited hosts, otherwise they will take the initiative to choose, and those powerful hosts already know the impact of choosing the world on their own strength, so Zhou Xing can be sure that in this world, the hosts will never appear too powerful.

According to his estimate, the system will definitely differentiate the difficulty level of the mission world to balance the strength of the powerful. Otherwise, in this free mode, with a titled master, even one person can destroy all the hosts, and even form a group. If this situation is reserved, then the meaning of the existence of the system and the purpose of training are unreasonable.

Therefore, Zhou Xing was very relieved to order to go down, and asked the Voyager to deviate from the route a little, so as to avoid encounters with other host ships.A considerable number of hosts who are unwilling to make trouble in the mission world will also make such a choice, and a few hosts who think they are strong, or are in groups, still sail on the main channel.

Soon the sun was shining brightly in the clear blue sky, and the temper of the sea has never been so unpredictable. It seems that the rushing storm did not appear, but the black and dark clouds that silted up in the sky have dissipated. For the sailors, They have successfully survived another crisis. Compared with those who lost their ships, fell into the ocean, or even disappeared in the storm, they are lucky. Although all the people on the ships are busy now, they have that kind of Cheerful atmosphere.

The breeze mixed with the fishy smell of seawater blows by, refreshing Zhou Xing. He lives inland, and this is the first time he has sailed on a long-distance boat, and after traveling so far, he has a novelty of the unknown ocean in his heart. , So, instead of going to the cabin, he stood on a high place and looked around with a telescope.

The Voyager has left the main channel where the host ships are densely populated, and the nearest ship can be seen in the line of sight is also far away. Due to the technical limitations of this era, the sailing speed of cargo ships is similar, especially now that all ships are The cargo with the same weight naturally has almost the same speed, so as long as you keep a distance, you will be absolutely safe.

The sailors on the Voyager were busy again. The ship was bumped in the wind and rain. The ship was generally undamaged, but many cabins were flooded, and many things were damaged by the bumps. Zhou Xing’s task was to have time Restricted, although there is no need to rush day and night, Zhou Xing's order is to keep moving forward at all times and have the ability to fight.

The Voyager's sails were raised, and amidst the orderly shouts of the sailors, the wooden ship slowly accelerated, heading in the same direction as all the ships in this sea area.

"Report, report! We found the ship!" The sailor who was watching from the middle of the sail shouted loudly. He used his hands to build a pergola over his eyes. The sight after the rain was good. He squinted his eyes for a while and then continued to shout: "It's a pirate! It's a pirate ship! God!"

One sentence attracted everyone's attention. The first officer got out of the cabin and put up the awning with his hands to watch for a while. His expression immediately became ugly.

I saw a pirate ship with fluttering sails coming slowly from the sea, as if afraid that others would not see it, the sail with a large skull painted on it was raised high, and the hull was also painted with obvious colors , can be distinguished at a glance.

Because the Voyager has been separated from the main force, there are no other targets in a considerable range. Regardless of whether it is a pirate or an army, their targets will never be a specific person, that is, they will hit whoever they meet. Catch one is one.

From afar, one could see the pirate ship speeding up suddenly, almost rushing towards the Voyager.There was no need to explain the other party's behavior, and Zhou Xing knew that once he encountered monsters like pirates or the British fleet, the other party would definitely attack.

Because of the technology of the times, it is naturally impossible for pirates to have independent production capacity, so when encountering a cargo ship that can be attacked, the pirates' method is very simple, approaching the ship, and then relying on the rope springboard to rob the target. The lethality is generally weak, because their things are strong. Even if they are lucky enough to snatch a British warship, they don't have much ammunition, and they themselves lack artillery manpower, so this also creates the unique style of pirates. .

The chief mate is obviously experienced, he has already shouted: "Turn around, speed up!"

Zhou Xing shook his head, and said: "It's useless, we can't outrun the pirates, at most it's delaying time, if we leave the route too far, it won't do any good to the ship."

Indeed, what Zhou Xing can be sure of is that the enemy he encountered for the first time will definitely not be too powerful, and there is only one ship. It seems that the opponent's ship must be empty, and because of the existence of the system, the pirate ship must be It will be faster than the Voyager with its cargo loaded, and the first time means adapting and understanding. Zhou Xing knows the system's routines, so he knows that he must not escape this first time, so as not to fall into a passive position.

So, Zhou Xing stopped the first officer who was about to leave to arrange the sailors' actions, and said, "Maybe we don't need to run away."
