The drifting city of the last days

"I'll be right over." Xia An put down the communicator and rushed to the cockpit. The remaining people glanced at each other and got up to go to the deck.

About 200 meters away from them in the due south direction, there is a yacht that has slowed down significantly. Red illustration hand drawn skull flag.Apparently, that flag is why it's called the "Corsair".

Contrary to what can be called a glamorous pirate ship, the seven or eight men standing on the deck are travel-stained, with a little panic on their faces, each of them is holding an M3 submachine gun and staring at them vigilantly. The posture is quite unskilled.It didn't look like he was going to be robbed like that, but he was afraid of being robbed by them.

Movie boy Wu Fei's mouth is disappointed, what about the cool and domineering Pirates of the Caribbean?

"Really a pirate?" Shao Yunfan looked at Luo Zhen inquiringly. This was a completely different style of painting from the murderous or hostile pirates he had imagined, with the expression "come to fight against disobedience" written on his face!Looks more like a bunch of refugees getting guns.Comrade Exorcist squatting on his shoulder yawned boredly, and flicked his curly tail.

"Let's see." Luo Zhen shook his head, and glanced at Bixie. According to its usual performance of becoming more dangerous and more excited, this means that there is no threat on that ship?However, he still tensed his shoulders vigilantly, and was ready to release ice cubes as a shield at any time. The effective range of the m3 is 200 meters, and they have basically entered the opponent's shooting range.

"Which one of you is the boss, come out and speak." The boat drove forward about 100 meters, and a dark-skinned man stood in the middle and shouted at Xia An and the others.He wore a punk-inspired studded jacket, with a striking red hair dyed on top of his head, and he looked very killer.

Before the people on the Haihou could answer, Xia An had already spread his wings, and within a few seconds he was about 50 meters away from the opposite black yacht.

"Boss, be careful." Pingtou stomped his feet, only regretting that he had no wings and couldn't catch up to stop people.

"Stop there, come closer and we'll shoot." The red hair threatened Xia An's wings with the barrel of the gun while speaking.

"Don't be nervous, didn't you ask me to come out and talk?" Xia An slowed down and raised his hands in coordination, and flew about ten meters higher, casually scanning the situation of the other party's entire ship.There are six or seven people holding iron and wooden sticks at the stern, hiding behind timidly. Including the cockpit, there are at least fifteen or six people on the other side.However, none of them looked like mutants.If only Louise got up now, she would be able to observe the condition of the whole ship clearly.

"You?" Hongmao raised his head and looked at him a few times in disbelief, as if he had never seen such a leader who took the lead.

Xia An raised his eyebrows, "That's right. What do you want to talk to me about?"

Luo Zhen's shoulders were a little looser. From the looks of it, these people were definitely not real pirates.

"Are you a mutant?" The red-haired eyes flickered, staring at Xia An's wings flapping in the air, as if he had just realized this question.

It was obvious that Xia An curled the corners of his mouth and did not speak.

"How many mutants do you have?" Hongmao continued to ask.

"Several." Xia An shrugged and said vaguely, only a fool would confess to others at this time.

The people on the pirate ship instantly showed envious expressions.The red hair licked his lips nervously, and looked at the submerged city behind the Haihou, "Are you residents here? Do you want to live in a safer place?"

safe place?Xia An's eyebrows twitched, and then he waved his hand indifferently, "Now there are sea water and mutated animals everywhere, and you can't even see land. Where can you call it a safe place?"

"Of course." Hong Mao proudly clapped the submachine gun on his hand, "We came from the safety island."

"Island?" The one in the middle of the driveway?

"Yes, a large piece of land. There is a large area of ​​air-raid shelters on the island, surrounded by high walls and power grids, just like a fortress. Even mutant animals can't get in. It's absolutely safe." Seeing Xia An's expression loosen, the red hair immediately He tried his best to persuade, "Besides, mutants are the most lacking on the island now. Once you go, you will be able to live in the innermost safe zone immediately."

"Is there such a good thing?"

"Of course it's not completely free. You need to lead a team out to hunt or collect supplies, just like we do now. [-]% of the things you find are sold to the higher-ups, [-]% is the rent for ships and weapons, and [-]% is the rent for staying on the safety island. Like It’s even better if you have a boat like this, you can keep [-]% for yourself.”

"What kind of things count as supplies?" Seeing that the atmosphere between the two parties was quite harmonious, Xiao An drove the Haihou forward for a few tens of meters. Xia An had seen enough to see, and turned around and landed on his own deck. superior.

"Food and gasoline are the most valuable, followed by weapons and equipment lacking on the island, and finally clothes, bedding and various daily necessities."

"Come out every day?" Xia An touched his chin, as if he was quite tempted.

"As long as you can pay the rent for the day, of course you don't need to come out." Hong Mao said happily.When he goes back today, he must burn incense sticks and pay respects. He never thought that he would find such a large place where he can collect supplies after getting lost yesterday. If he can attract a few mutants back, Wei Ge might spare him for half a month. "rent".

"Is it a real island?" Wu Fei asked curiously.Wouldn't it be another continent fragment?

"Of course it's an island." Hongmao looked at Wu Fei strangely, otherwise what could it be?

Luo Zhen raised his eyebrows. The place that can accommodate 2000 people must not be small. The air-raid shelter and high-wall power grid that Hongmao mentioned are likely to be repaired before. What kind of place has such facilities?Red Hair and the others were obviously not the original owners.

"How many people can the island accommodate?" Qi Liang interjected, hearing what Hongmao meant, this safety island is now recruiting troops?I don't know where it came from?Judging by his appearance, it must be that the so-called safe island has never been to S City before.Although the proportion of mutants is very low, there are too many people in city s. It is estimated that he will find mutants among the survivors in any apartment he randomly enters.Of course, the premise is that the two sides do not fight.

"Don't worry, it's definitely enough. It's no problem to accommodate 2000 people. There are only more than 300 people in it now." Hongmao wanted to say something more, but was bumped on the arm by the fat man wearing a blue down jacket next to him, so he stopped talking and didn't say any more. go down.

Xia An turned his head to look at Qi Liang and Luo Zhen, and said to Hongmao, "Anyway, you have to collect supplies first. Let's discuss it. If we go, we will wait for you here." The Queen of the Sea leaned aside to make way for Hongmao and the others.

"Okay." Hongmao grinned and nodded, looking excitedly at the watch in his hand, "I'll see you here in five hours. If we leave before one o'clock, we can reach the safety island tonight."

Xia An smiled politely and waved goodbye to Hongmao.

"What do you think of that safe island?" Xia An watched the black yacht drive away, and asked Pingtou and Qi Liang who were standing beside him.The maximum speed of the Haihou is about 80 kilometers per hour, and the pirate ship is obviously faster. The five-hour voyage means that the so-called safe island is [-] kilometers away.

"Go, of course, I've been soaking in the water for a month and it's almost like noodles." He scratched his hair, and he almost forgot what it was like to stand on the ground.

"From the perspective of collecting supplies and preparing to return to the mainland, it will be more troublesome to go to the safety island. Why don't we just stay in S City and then start. From the perspective of just looking for shelter, choosing a safety island requires the least risk. After all, when we It is still unknown how we can actually find the so-called continent, but the safety island is close at hand. According to the strategy that person said, there should soon be a large number of mutants there, and then it will become the most powerful force nearby. It is relatively safer. Of course, the premise is that what the person said is true." Qi Liang analyzed objectively.

"Why don't you call everyone here and vote to decide." The poisoned mutant stretched himself. I'm afraid everyone has a different idea about this kind of thing.

"Andy, go and call everyone." Xia An nodded, with a deep crease between her brows.

The sixteen people on board quickly gathered on the deck. After Xia An said about the safety island, most of them, including the two people who were on the verge of losing control, showed expressions of excitement.

"So, who wants to go to the safety island?"

The members of the Queen of the Sea raised their arms one after another, except for Xia An and Louise, everyone raised their hands.On Shao Yunfan and Luo Zheng's side, the six looked at each other, but none of them moved in the end.

Shao Yunfan and Wu Fei made up their minds to go back to find their family members, and Luo Zhen would definitely accompany Shao Yunfan.Zhang Junjiu will stay because of Shao Yunfan's good luck, and he will definitely not leave until he meets someone with better luck.Qi Liang made up his mind a long time ago, as long as he doesn't feel disliked as a burden, he will always be with everyone.As for the sleepy Lan Shan, he was the only one who didn't care, but everyone didn't move, so he didn't raise his hand.

Luo Zhen raised his eyebrows. If all the people on the Haihou went to the safety island, they could stay with them for a while. On the one hand, they could collect supplies, and on the other hand, they could use the opportunity of hunting for food to fight for upgrades.It is actually a good deal for them to hand over a few percent of their prey in exchange for safe sleep.Anyway, the mutated animals they hunted and killed in order to exercise their abilities have always been far greater than their food intake.

"I'll just follow everyone." Louise finally said.It doesn't matter where she goes, she just doesn't want to leave everyone.

"Okay, since everyone wants to go there, I'll send everyone there. I'll leave after you settle down." Xia An looked around and finally nodded.

"An, you are our boss, how can you go by yourself?" Pingtou was anxious, unexpectedly Xia An didn't want to go.The rest of the people also looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"An, are you going to abandon us?" Louise blinked her eyes, her dull black eyes turned to Xia An, and big tears immediately rolled down from her eyes.The members of Haihou immediately surrounded her.

"No, it's not." Seeing Louise crying, Xia An hurried over and wiped her tears in a hurry.He had treated Louise like his own sister ever since she had come aboard.

Xiao An next to him took the opportunity to persuade him, "Boss, you can go with us."

"Just go together." Everyone echoed.

Xia An's brows were deeply frowned, and he didn't speak, and the scene was tense for a while.

"How about this, let's go to the safety island together for a few days and try," Qi Liang tried to save the place, and it's good to go there to have a look, maybe you can get something else.It takes time to collect supplies anyway.Seeing that Luo Zhen also nodded, he continued, "Let's see if it's really as good as imagined. Everyone has time to think carefully about staying. Anyway, according to the man just now, you can leave at any time. "The girl's tears are really a killer, and the men in the room can't do anything about it.It wasn't until Xia An agreed to Qi Liang's suggestion to go to the safety island to stay for a while that Louise stopped sobbing.

At 12:30 noon, the black yacht returned with a full load and returned to the place agreed with Cheyenne. Several decks were crowded with people and luggage, and the waterline of the yacht was already in jeopardy.Shao Yunfan took a rough look, and there were at least six to seventy people.

"Just follow us." Hongmao waved to Xia An in a good mood. This trip is really a big deal!

The Queen of the Sea followed the pirate ship at full speed and drove for five hours before arriving at the safety island.Everyone looked around, and in the twilight, a large green island stood quietly on the water.There is also a gentle hill with an altitude of about 300 meters on the island. Among the tall trees, a blue-black cement fortress with a rough style and built on the hill is faintly visible.
