infinite blood core

Chapter 146

"There was an earthquake!" Zhen Jin quickly rushed back from the field.

When the earthquake happened, he was still training the alligator hammer-tailed anaconda form.

To Zhen Jin's relief, he rushed back to the small valley and did not see a chaotic scene.

Although he was not there, Cang Xu, Zidi, and Zong Ge joined forces to quickly stabilize the situation and start to clean up the camp.

The magnitude of the earthquake was not large, and it came and went quickly.

The keel and mast, etc. were not damaged in the valley open space that made Jinjin worried.The wooden roof above the construction site is the biggest contributor this time. It firmly resists the falling gravel and protects the results of everyone's work.

After the inspection, there was a lot of rubble piled up on the plank roof, holes were smashed in many places, and more planks were covered with cracks.

With a dignified look on his face, Mu Ban reported to Zhen Jin: "Sir, the wooden roof not only needs to be renovated, but also needs to be strengthened."

Zong Ge frowned: "We have come to this island for so long, and we have never encountered an earthquake."

As strong as a half-orc, in the face of this natural disaster, he also feels very powerless.

Zidi said: "Is the earthquake only this time? To tell the truth, I always have a bad feeling. If the earthquake happens again, then our current residence is very dangerous."

Everyone lives in caves. Once a stronger earthquake occurs and the mountain collapses, the people sleeping in the caves will basically be killed or buried alive.

And shipbuilding has also become a big problem.

Originally, they arranged the construction site in a small valley in order to use the terrain to build a dock, saving a lot of labor, materials and time.

But now if earthquakes continue to occur, the small valley will become a dangerous place, far less than the open or gentle place.

This time, only a few small rocks were broken on the mountain. If the earthquake were stronger and the big rocks rolled down, the ship might suffer huge damage.

Zhen Jin sighed, and then said decisively: "This is the effect of the big man going crazy, he is warning us."

Cang Xu, who was beside him, was stunned for a moment, and then nodded in approval: "That's true, it seems that the big man plays a pivotal role. His illness is a great thing for us!"

Zhen Jin glanced at Cang Xu with admiration, and then said again: "Don't live in the cave tonight. Let's use tents to live in the wild first."

"Starting tomorrow, we're going to cut down the trees around the valley to clear a large clearing. We're going to make rails, at least a section extending from the valley clearing. If an earthquake occurs, we can quickly remove vital hull components. Move out quickly."

After Zhu Jin finished speaking, he glanced around, and then stopped on the thin rope.

Minsuo's face changed slightly, and he immediately realized what Zhu Jin wanted to let him continue to publicize.

Zhenjin knew very well in his heart that this time alone, saying that a big man is crazy can be a warning, which is actually very unreliable.

It's an excuse, but it can change the perception of big men a lot.

Zhenjin needs a big man to return to work and such an important labor force.

Others may have criticisms and opinions, but in this situation, Zhen Jin can no longer take care of them.

The most basic responsibility of a leader is to prioritize.

"To be honest, I feel very close to President Zidi. The earthquake never happened, but now it suddenly happened. It seems that something drastic has happened in a place we don't know about. Everything is starting to go wrong."

"Next, we will do our best to build a navigable ship with the fastest speed."

Having said that, Zhen Jin looked at the boatman with sharp eyes.

"No matter what you do, you have to compress the schedule."

"If you can cut corners, cut corners!"

"We need a ship that can sail first, and then the projects that can be carried out on the ship will be reserved for sailing time."

The boatman hurriedly bent over to take orders: "I understand, my lord."

The boatmaker designed all night, worked all night, and rushed out a new sketch of the ship.

Unlike the original sketch, the size of the new boat has been shrunk by a fifth, and many cabins have been eliminated.

Originally, everyone had a hammock to sleep in, but now there are only some grass bunks in the hammock.

A complete mast was originally connected one after the other.All mast heights are now reduced by at least half.If the mast is to be increased in the future, it will be spliced ​​during the voyage.

In addition to the artillery, there are more than ten ballistas on the original drawings.But now there are still three artillery pieces, and the number of ballistas has dropped by half.

The artillery was salvaged from the wreck of the Pigsnout. The original plan was to build a dozen ballistas to replace the artillery to a certain extent.

Ocean voyages are impossible without firepower.

Whether it is a murloc, a sea monster, or a pirate, it is a huge threat to ships that travel far.

But now the ballistas are no longer being built. As for the ballistas in the blueprint, they are all that the camp has now.

"There is no need to make so many sails. We can let people contribute their own clothes and splicing these clothes together to form a simple sail. In fact, it is also possible for men to be shirtless." In order to minimize the construction period, the boatman also worked hard.

The order for needle gold was issued quickly, and people were also frightened by the earthquake, and they were more motivated to work on shipbuilding.

During the day, Zhen Jin even began to guard the open space in the valley and personally supervise the labor of everyone.

With the needle and gold, everyone felt at ease, and no longer feared the big man going mad again.

There is a strong pressure in everyone's heart, which has led to a large increase in the efficiency of new shipbuilding.

For the next week, the big man did not get sick again.

The earthquake never happened again.

But food consumption is huge.

People are really working hard, many people ask to continue working at night, they feel that they have too much time to sleep and rest!
After all, the construction of a new ship is about everyone's life.

Zhenjin personally oversees the construction site during the day.

The masts are mounted on the keel.

The beams are built, and with the frame, you can see the prototype of the new ship.

The construction speed of the sails is very fast. The main reason is that there is a large reserve of spider webs. As the boatman estimated before, the spider webs of the blade spider are very suitable to be one of the main materials for sails.

When the third side of the sail was built, the earthquake struck again.

The big man did not get sick.

Everyone didn't care about this matter. In fact, in the propaganda of the Marlin command crew, the inaccuracy of the prediction of madness was pointed out.

This island is getting more and more dangerous, and people are most concerned about whether they can escape from here.

People are praying that the earthquake will not happen again, but the reality is contrary to everyone's expectations.

In the ensuing time, earthquakes not only became more frequent, but each time they became larger and larger.

The plank roof had to be reinforced many times, but finally it couldn't hold up anymore.

Zhen Jin had to order everyone to move the prototype of the new ship outside the valley.

The jungle outside was completely cut down and burned again, forming a new construction site.

The new construction site is completely open-air, and it is too late to build a dock at this time.In fact, because of the earthquake, the built-in dock will also collapse, smashing the prototype of the new ship.

The difficulty is that in addition to the earthquake, there is also rain.

Wetness is the enemy of boat building.

Ship hulls in particular need to be dried, removing moisture from the wood.

Zidi's medicine has played a huge role. In addition, people disassemble the tent and assemble it as a whole. In rainy weather, a giant tent is built to work in it.

When it's sunny, the tent is dismantled, and the prototype of the new boat is exposed to the sun, doing everything possible to drive off the moisture inside.

When the earthquake occurred for the eighth time, everyone was shocked when the ground shook and the lava fire pillars shot into the sky.

According to Cangsu's estimation, Zhenjin and others are located on the edge of the island, while the volcanic landform is located in the center of the island, or even the center.

From the position of Zhenjin, you can observe the spectacular scene of volcanic eruption, so the real scene of the volcanic area must be more terrifying.

"It's almost the end!"

"Can we really get out of here?"

"I wouldn't be surprised if the island sank tomorrow."

Panic.

Aware of this, Zhenjin held a bonfire dinner soon after.

He made public speeches, using the identity of the knight of the gods, the rhetoric of empire, glory, and merit to boost everyone's morale.

Speeches are effective.

When everyone saw Zhen Jin, they realized once again that there was such a reliable leader around.Zhu Jin is not only powerful, but also of high moral character. He promises that he will not give up on anyone, and everyone believes his words.

The aroma of grilled meat is tangy, and more than a dozen bottles of rum are also available.There are few drinks for everyone, but the wonderful taste is intoxicating.

The tense nerves that have been tense since this time are relieved at this moment, the frowning brows are gradually relaxed, and there are more and more laughter.

Needle Jin carried a huge barbecue and came to the bonfire in the corner.

Here is where the big man and the boatman are.

Pin Jin handed the roast meat to the big man.

The big man didn't dare to take it, and after being scolded by the boatman, he timidly took it.

"You've done a good job these days. Without you, the ship wouldn't be built so fast. Keep working hard." In the eyes of everyone, Zhen Jin encouraged the big man.

The big man curled up and sat in his seat. Seeing Zhen Jin smiling at him, he was so embarrassed that he quickly lowered his head, staring at the barbecue in his hand, not knowing what to say.

Needle gold didn't stay much, and after a while, he turned and left.

When the boatman sent him respectfully, he said sincerely, "Sir, you are really different from others! I have never seen such a noble person as you."

The old father thanked him very sincerely, his words choked up, and his eyes were faintly red.

Zhen Jin patted his shoulder, looked around, and saw that everyone's attention was attracted to him.

He raised his voice slightly: "Everyone has a place in this ship, and no one will be left behind."

"In other words, we're all in the same boat."

"I know there are differences between us."

"There are various differences in identity, blood, appearance, and personality."

"But these differences should not be the reason for our suspicion, confrontation, or internal friction. We should unite closely. Only in this way can we maximize the possibility of escape."

"We are all... our own people!"

The last sentence of the needle gold, with a special emphasis on the tone.

Unsurprisingly, his impromptu speech once again won cheers from the crowd.

Many people found that they fell in love with Zhen Jin's speeches and were very willing to listen to him to say a few more words.

Zhen Jin's words soothed their flustered hearts, calmed them down, and filled them with hope and motivation again.

Zidi stared at the young leader.

Cang Xu smiled approvingly.

Bai Ya's frantic eyes seemed to be on fire, while Spirulina was silent and restrained.

Black Scroll quietly clenched his fists.

The three swords, who have been calm all the time, are also a little lost.

"My own person?" Zong Ge looked at the bonfire in front of him, these three words made the scene of the past reappear in front of him.

He fell on the cold floor tiles, his head was stomped on by a foot.

"My own?" The boy who stepped on Zong Ge's voice was sharp, "Ha! You actually said that you and we are your own?"

The young man Zong Ge struggled, but he couldn't resist the power of the young man in front of him. He reluctantly said, "We all have the same blood flowing through us. We have a common father. We are brothers and sisters, aren't we our own?"

As soon as he said the words, Zong Ge felt the strength of the foot on his head suddenly strengthen.

Those gorgeous boots even crushed Zong Ge's temple hard.

"Shut up! You bastard!" The boy who stepped on him shouted angrily.

The rest of the onlookers also spoke up.

"Who are you and your siblings?"

"You were born in filthy soil, how can He De He wait with me? You do have noble blood in your body, but this is exactly your tragedy. Because it shows the essence of your inferiority and incompetence."

"You are a disgrace to our family!"

"It's a tarnish to our family's reputation!"

"illegitimate child!"

"Look in the mirror, look at your ugly face, covered with animal hair. A mere half-orc actually wants to be side by side with us!!"

"wishful thinking!!"
