Ye An

The old people looked distressed.

For 30 years they have kept the secret of their origins a secret, and they have never mentioned it to anyone.Even adopted children are never revealed a word.

Ye An can associate their origins from the fish pattern, obviously he has some understanding of Haicheng.

Judging from his age, he would not be the one who participated in the conspiracy back then.Nor does it look like a descendant of that group in terms of attitude.

Most importantly, Ye An saved their lives.

Thinking of their own situation, the old people sighed, looked at each other, decided not to hide anything, and told Ye An about their origins.

"We are indeed from Haicheng." The old man with the fish pattern on his arm said.

From the mouth of the old man, Ye An learned that his name was Uncle Qiang, and he was the captain of a hunting team in Haicheng 30 years ago.

Unlike most cities, Haicheng people have a large number of hunting teams, some of which belong to the city lord's mansion, and some of them come from the people.The latter is under the jurisdiction of the City Lord's Mansion, but they have a lot of freedom of movement. They can sail out to sea by themselves, or join other teams to hunt on land.

"When the accident happened in Haicheng, we were in Yuanyang."

Uncle Qiang recalled the past, his voice was low and his tone was bleak, anger and remorse appeared on his face covered with gullies.

They found a group of krill and chased them all the way to the far sea, not wanting to go too far, and encountered blue whales that specialize in preying on krill.The mutated blue whale is more than 50 meters long and is a real ocean monster.With its mouth open, it can swallow the entire ship.

Fortunately, the target of the blue whale is the krill group, and the fishing boat is not taken seriously.

Uncle Qiang and the others gave up their previous plan and started the boat with all their strength to stay away from the predating blue whale and the panicked shrimp.

Unexpectedly, just as they left the blue whale's hunting ground, they encountered a terrible storm.The ship lost its way in the wind and rain, and wandered on the sea for more than a month. It was almost out of ammunition and food before seeing the land again.

"We narrowly escaped death and couldn't wait to see our family, how could we expect..."

Uncle Qiang's voice became choked up, and the old people also looked sad.

The children do not understand the past of the elderly, but they can perceive their pain.Take the initiative to lean on the elderly, wipe away their tears, and try my best to comfort the people who raised me.

"When we returned to Haicheng, what greeted us were not relatives or friends, but ruins."

When they came back, Haicheng experienced betrayal, was ravaged by tsunamis and giant beasts, and was already in ruins.The city wall collapsed, leaving clear tooth marks and claw marks on the remnants.

The houses in the city were overturned, the roads were damaged, and there were still many traces of fire.

Facing the tragic situation, Uncle Qiang and the others were all furious and heartbroken.Even though they knew there was little hope, they still searched desperately in the city. Unfortunately, they searched through the ruins, but they couldn't find a living person.

All their efforts were in vain, they could only restrain the bones of the city residents so that they would not continue to be exposed among the ruins and be destroyed by mutant beasts and birds.

The bones were so badly damaged that they could not be pieced together, let alone identified.

Uncle Qiang and others built a pyre, burned it all, and buried the ashes.

Facing the rising flames and thinking of the tragedy in the city, they felt resentment and pain, but they had no way to vent.

They came back too late to know who was involved in the conspiracy.But they are very clear that the destruction of Haicheng is definitely not something that ordinary forces can do.

"We buried our bones, and we began to wander in the wilderness in anonymity."

In the first few years, the flames of revenge were always burning in their hearts, driven by anger, they couldn't hide their whereabouts and identities well, and lost a lot of people because of this.

After the painful lesson, they learned how to hide, learned to use their brains better, never let go of any clues, and gradually found out the main objects involved in the conspiracy back then.

"Black City." Uncle Qiang gritted his teeth.

This is their first confirmation, and also the most certain force.

The Lord of the Black City back then was a mutant, and only he had the ability to attract tsunamis in abnormal seasons.

In addition, Rock City, Red City, and Thousand City all have a share!

They want to take revenge, but they are not strong enough, have suffered losses, and experienced the deaths and injuries of their companions, so they can only dormant.

Year after year, young faces become old.

From being able to easily hunt large mutant beasts, they can only survive by catching gophers and digging roots of plants.

They are no longer powerful, but they never give up revenge.As long as there is a chance, even if it costs your life, the murderer of the year must pay for it with blood!

The adoption of these children was purely by chance, and there was no deeper purpose, let alone instilling hatred in them so that they could avenge themselves.

"It's a pity that we are all old, too old." Uncle Qiang's voice became hoarse, and there was more unwillingness in the desolation.

Thirty years ago, there were more than 30 people in the hunting team, but now there are only a few of them left, which can be counted on two hands, and even a group of settlements cannot be dealt with.

They took a deep breath, not because they were nostalgic for the world, but because they did not dare to die.

If they just died like this, how would Underworld explain to their companions who left earlier?How can you tell them that after spending 30 years, they can't kill a single enemy!

John's speech was broken, clouded by pain and hatred, and occasionally illogical.

Ye An never interrupted him. He sat cross-legged on the deck and listened carefully to what the other party said.Even without activating the ability, one can clearly feel the pain of the other party at the moment.

These old people have experienced too much and spent 30 years with hatred in their hearts. How can it not be embarrassing to fall into such a situation now.

After Uncle Qiang finished speaking, there was silence on the deck, only the crisp sound of the wind blowing through the rattan umbrella and the rain hitting the umbrella cover.

"My lord, after 30 years, Haicheng is still a taboo. If our identities are leaked, it may cause trouble for you." Uncle Qiang said.

"Don't worry about this." Ye An smiled slightly and said, "I can handle it, and my enemies may not be less than you."

Hearing Ye An's words, the old people were surprised.

Ye An didn't explain further.Even though he knew that the old people were not lying, he decided not to reveal Xiao Yun's identity.First bring these old people back to the delta, how about the details, wait for Xiao Yun to settle the matter of Yancheng and Heicheng, and then discuss in person.

The old man and the children stayed, and they were arranged in the second-floor cabin of the warship.

Probably because they wander all the year round and face danger all the time, the children don't want to be too far away from the elderly.Ye An specifically explained to Bauhinia that the cabins assigned to them are next to each other.

This kind of care makes the elderly very grateful.

In return, they took the initiative to undertake the work of overhauling the ship, and informed Zijing and others of their years of sailing experience.In addition, they also told Ye An a lot of weird sea creatures and mutated plants.

Ye An admired the knowledge reserves of the old people.Especially about poisonous animals and plants, he suspected that old people knew as much as lily of the valley, if not more.

When it comes to poison and medicine, one cannot help but think of the mysterious caravan.

With the mentality of giving it a try, Ye An asked the old people if they knew about this team.

"If your lord is talking about Zam's caravan, I think we know." After listening to Ye An's description, Qiang Bo replied.

"Zam?" Ye An heard this name for the first time.

"That's right." Uncle Qiang put down the rope in his hand, his expression became gloomy, "We met him when we were young. He has been to Haicheng and met the city lord."

Ye An's eyes widened. Calculated in this way, this person must be at least five or sixty years old, right?

"He is ruthless and a mutant who is good at disguising." Qiangbo said surprisingly.

"Mutants?"

"That's right." Uncle Qiang said in a deep voice, "People who do business with him think that he is a pharmacist who has a unique formula. In fact, the main ingredient of the medicine he is best at is his blood."

Uncle Qiang called an old man, motioned him to turn around, and showed Ye An the large scar on his back.

"Back then, we found out that Zam's team was probably poisoning Haicheng, which weakened the guards in the city. It's a pity that we miscalculated his strength. Among the people responsible for tracking and investigating, he was the only one who came back alive, and he relied on the cliff-jumping suit. Only death can escape."

It was quite a traumatic experience.

It's just that Zam would never have imagined that someone could survive under his hands and know his most important secret.

Now, this secret is exposed in front of Ye An, making him re-examine the caravan and become more wary of it.
