Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 61

On the sea, a small wooden boat was moving slowly.

The wooden boat has a long and narrow hull, less than four meters in length, with no mast or sail on it.It looks like it has been damaged in some places and has been roughly repaired later.

The whole ship looked dilapidated.

An old man who seems to be over sixty years old is sitting on the bow of the boat. The old man has slightly gray hair and dark skin. He is looking at the sea seriously at the moment with a serious expression.

"Dad, let's not be so nervous all the time. It's been so long, aren't you tired? And I don't think those seabirds will appear."

A middle-aged man behind the old man looked at the back of the old man in front of him with a helpless tone.

While speaking, he was struggling to shake the wooden oar, without the sail, which was the only source of power.

"Go, go, how many times have I told you to be careful when sailing for thousands of years. Your father relied on this to sail safely for a lifetime."

The old man scolded the man behind him, but he did not look back and still looked at the sea warily.

"Oh, but your bones are not very good, and you are so tense all day long, what should you do if something goes wrong."

The middle-aged man continued to persuasion earnestly, and this kind of dialogue obviously happened more than once or twice.

"Don't you know about my own body? Since this apocalypse happened, your father and I have become much better than before. And based on my habit of exercising all day long, I might be better than you sitting in the office all day." Much more.”

As if to prove himself, the old man spoke a little louder, his words sonorous and forceful, not at all like an old man in sixties.

"Yes, yes, we all know that you will grow old and strong, and you will definitely live a long life, but these things can actually be left to us juniors. At your age, you can rest well in the camp."

At this time, another man next to the middle-aged man spoke. He was slightly older than the old man's son, wearing glasses, and his words were full of respect for the old man.

Seeing the voice of the middle-aged man with glasses, the old man's tone was not as casual as he used to teach his son, and he responded politely:
"Actually, it's not that I don't want to rest. It's just that I don't feel relieved to leave it to you. In terms of physical strength, I may not be as good as you, but in terms of sailing experience, I must be richer than you young people."

Seeing that the old man was so persistent, the middle-aged man with glasses stopped talking, and he couldn't refute the old man's words.

The middle-aged man with glasses then turned his head to look at the stern. A man was sitting at the stern, fiddled with his mobile phone. His face was a little immature. He looked to be in his early twenties, and he was the youngest of the group.

"Boy, don't mess around with your broken cell phone, and pay attention to the situation. Look at your grandpa Zhang, who is so old, and is also patrolling the sea so seriously, and you don't follow suit."

"Dad, don't worry, I'm watching carefully. But my phone is not broken. If Professor Li or someone from other places finds out a way to restore the data on the phone, then there is still a chance to recover the things here. "

Touching the phone, the young man's eyes were filled with anticipation.

"Just dream! Professor Li also said that the nature of mobile phone materials has changed. Don't point at these unrealistic things all day long. By the way, count how many fish we have left this time."

The middle-aged man with glasses continued to speak, but when he mentioned the word "Professor Li", his tone was full of respect.

"I have already counted many times, 11 fishes. After counting and counting, there are only a few fish. Damn, if it weren't for those nasty seagulls, there should be 23 fishes."

Mentioning this, the young man gritted his teeth, his tone full of unwillingness.

"If I had Brother Xu's strength, I wouldn't have to be afraid of these seagulls."

"Forget it, don't think about it, how many people can successfully evolve like Xiao Xu, you'd better learn the experience of sailing, don't keep thinking about fighting and killing."

The middle-aged man with glasses was not willing for his son to take this risk.

The four people on board had more or less wounds, some had scabs, and some looked like they were newly added.

It's like going through a few battles.

At this time, the old man's roar suddenly came from the bow:
"Everyone, quick, pick up the guys, the seagulls are coming!"

The expression of the father and son in the poop glasses became tense in an instant. When they looked up, they saw four seagulls flapping their wings and flying towards them not far away.

The group of four immediately took up weapons one after another. Although they were weapons, they were actually relatively simple wooden sticks with a small piece of polished stone tied with a straw rope to increase their lethality.

The seagulls came in an instant and swooped down on the people on board.

The four quickly started a battle with the seagulls.

Although the four of them were not at a disadvantage in terms of numbers against Seagull.

But the seagull took advantage of its fast speed and ability to fly, and turned the four of them around. The four couldn't touch the seagull, so they could only blindly defend.

"Work harder, you'll be fine if you reach Dongji Mountain."

The old man shouted, as if to encourage everyone, but also to encourage himself.

But as time passed, the four of them began to show signs of fatigue.

Although the old man said in a tough tone before, he is old after all, and it can be seen that he is the most struggling among the four.

One mistake, I saw the old man's arm lose strength, and the weapon was picked up by the seagull and thrown into the sea. Seeing that the old man had no self-defense weapon, the seagull quickly turned around and took advantage of the momentum to attack.

"dad!"

"Uncle Zhang!"

Seeing this, the three people on the side panicked for a moment, exclaimed, and were about to return to defense immediately, but the other three seagulls bit their weapons tightly, and they couldn't get rid of their hands at all.

The old man's son threw away his weapon decisively, and directly planned to step forward and hug the old man.

But the seagull was extremely fast. Even though the middle-aged man reacted quickly and was very close, it was still too late to act.

The seagull's beak was infinitely enlarged in the old man's constricted pupils.

And right in front of the middle-aged man's red eyes, the bird's beak was about to touch the old man's head.

Once the iron-like bird's beak touches the old man, the fate is self-evident.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, an arrow appeared from nowhere and accurately hit the life-threatening seagull. At the same time, the huge force drove the seagull to fly directly out of the ship.

The old man was rescued instantly.

The scene in front of them happened in the blink of an eye, and the four of them were stunned.

When the seagull saw its companion falling into the water, it also screamed in horror, spread its wings and fled in all directions.

The four people looked around blankly.

All I saw was a small wooden boat with a simple appearance, sailing towards them unhurriedly in the distance.

Standing on the bow was a muscular young man, dressed in white short-sleeved jeans, holding a longbow.

"Huh, fortunately we caught up."

Putting down the longbow, Chen Xuan let out a long breath.
