Chapter 3 Shipwreck

It sounded like a sound of a tiger and a lion mixing. It was a sound that Zuo Qingcang had never heard before.

But judging from the intensity of the sound, he felt that animals that could make such sounds must be extremely difficult to mess with. Zuo Qingcang came to the deck and looked at the surrounding sea level. I don’t know when the nearby sea had been completely covered by endless mist, and he could not even see other ships of the Daqi fleet.

In this sudden fog, the beast's roar suddenly disappeared, and there was only the sound of waves rolling in the fog. Apart from this, there was silence, and only the black shadows formed by ships were seen, and the entire sponge was like a ghost domain.

In this silence, Zuo Qingcang suddenly raised his eyebrows, feeling his heartbeat a little faster. Because when he looked at the deck under his feet, he found a pitch-black figure appearing at his feet.

Judging from the position of the figure, the other party was standing less than a meter behind him.

‘Who will be here?’

‘I have checked the entire ship, and there are no living people anymore.’

‘Are they those pirates?’

Zuo Qingcang turned around suddenly, and the first thing he saw was a pale human face that was so close to him. The eyes of the human face were so wide that even the corners of his eyes were torn apart. His mouth was slightly raised, as if he was smiling mockingly. The most special thing was his pale skin, as if he had no trace of blood, pale.

A strange "person" suddenly appeared on the boat full of corpses, standing behind Zuo Qingcang. Even Qingcang couldn't help but be shocked so that his heart beat faster. But even after being shocked, his years of training and experience had already turned calm and rationality into Zuo Qingcang's instinct.

Faced with this strange person who suddenly appeared, Zuo Qingcang's instinctive reaction was not to retreat, but to take the initiative to attack. The axe that was pinched with his right hand slashed on the other party's neck with a bang, but it felt like an axe was chopping on a tree, not on the human body.

After pulling it out, Zuo Qingcang found that the axe was stuck inside, so he pulled his hand back and pulled out a dagger from his waist, which was placed in front of him.

Looking at the strange man who was like an axe chopped into the neck, Zuo Qingcang once again showed surprise.

Judging from the other party's clothes, they were actually Daqi soldiers on the boat. But now, the Daqi soldier not only had a pale face, his eyes were very big, and an axe was stuck on his neck, but he still looked at Zuo Qingcang with a sarcastic face. The whole scene looked indescribable. The other party's neck still had the fatal injury when he fell to the ground before.

What was even more surprising was still behind. I don’t know when the bodies of all the crew and soldiers on the deck had stood up, with the same pale face, the eyes that were opened desperately, and the same strange smile at Zuo Qingcang.

After breathing a deep breath, Zuo Qingcang slowly moved towards the edge of the deck, staring at the "crew crew" in front of him quietly, as if he was guarding against the other party's sudden pounce.

He had examined every corpse here, and he was definitely dead and could not die anymore. But these dead bodies stood up now and looked at him with a sneer, making Zuo Qingcang feel a little scared even if he is as brave as Zuo Qingcang.

This kind of thing has definitely not happened in Zuo Qingcang's own memory or Liu Zhicheng's memory. The so-called zombies and zombies were something that only heard in the legend. Now they appear in front of Zuo Qingcang.

Just as Zuo Qingcang slowly retreated, all the pale corpses on the deck turned their heads, staring at Zuo Qingcang with his eyes tightly, and their eyes moved with his movement. After Zuo Qingcang stopped, they all stopped again and continued to stare at Zuo Qingcang.

When he encountered this situation for the first time, when Zuo Qingcang was hesitating about how to deal with it, the loud beast roar sounded again. A huge shadow as big as a mountain rushed out of the fog, while all the pale corpses were still standing foolishly, motionless.

'monster!'

Without seeing the whole picture, Zuo Qingcang only saw countless black scales the size of a table. The next moment, the entire hull suddenly shook and made a terrible tearing sound. The hull under his feet began to overturn and tear. After a spontaneous turn, Zuo Qingcang himself fell into the sea with the pale corpses.

Zuo Qingcang knew that under this situation, the ship sinking would likely form a vortex, and he grabbed him into the sea. He swam hard to get rid of the invasion of the sea current, but the monster under the sea was too powerful, and he swung his body casually, and the waves formed turned Zuo Qingcang's efforts into useless work.

Under this circumstance, his physical strength was severely consumed, and until a few minutes later, Zuo Qingcang was exhausted.

At this moment, a wooden board directly hit the back of his head, and Zuo Qingcang's eyes turned black and he lost consciousness.

...

The waves and sunshine, Zuo Qingcang slowly opened his eyes and spit out the sand in his mouth.

Just as he got up, the seabirds around him flew into the sky in frightened.

Looking at the beach in front of him, Zuo Qingcang slowly recalled what had happened before.

Liu Zhicheng, Daqi, the resurrected dead man, pale corpses, and dark and huge monsters.

"What a messy world."

Without getting up immediately, Zuo Qingcang just lay on the ground and began to check his body to avoid accidental movements from causing harm to the body. Even at this moment, the calmness engraved in his bones still played a role.

After Zuo Qingcang's examination, he didn't know whether it was luck or Liu Zhicheng's body was strong enough. During such a shipwreck, he was not only washed up on land, but also unscathed.

After confirming that his body was not injured, Zuo Qingcang slowly stood up. His clothes were torn. He simply took off his shirt and exposed his slender and slender upper body.

After looking around, he found that it was not only him, but also the wreckage of many ships on the beach.

‘Did you come along the sea?’

Although Zuo Qingcang didn't know where he was now, according to Liu Zhicheng's memory, their voyage to the New World should have only been three-quarters. Feeling as hungry as his body, Zuo Qingcang probably was sent to a tropical island in the West Sea by sea.

The West Sea is the ocean between the Old Continent where Daqi is located and the New Continent where Liu Zhicheng went before.

‘In the worst case, this may be an uninhabited island, and you must be prepared for long-term combat here. First, you must find food and water.’

‘If you have such a tropical island, you can try to find it. I don’t know if there is any such world…’

Next, Zuo Qingcang walked more than 200 meters on the beach and found the plant he was looking for, coconut trees. This fruit, which is very popular in tropical areas, is rich in moisture, potassium, vitamin C and carbohydrates.

In some places, it is known as the fruit of life, and some people even survived a month's record by eating coconuts. When they saw the coconut tree in front of them, Zuo Qingcang breathed a sigh of relief, which means that he did not need to endure his physical fatigue and weakness for the time being, and went to more dangerous places to find food and water, such as the shallow sea nearby and the woods behind him.

However, the coconut trees are very high. The one Zuo Qingcang selected in front of him is more than 20 meters high, which is equivalent to eight or nine floors in the city.

After breathing a sigh of relief, Zuo Qingcang tied it into a bunch of cloth with the top he had taken off, and used the cloth to pass it through his armpits, and then tied it to the trunk of the coconut tree together. This can help him climb the coconut tree and is also a way for many ethnic groups to climb the coconut tree.

Next I saw his feet constantly stuck on the cracks of the coconut tree. The cloth tied him and the trunk of the coconut tree together, and crawled up little by little.

However, the negative effects brought by the shipwreck were even more serious than Zuo Qingcang imagined. After climbing halfway through, he felt severe fatigue and weakness.

However, coconut is the food he needs urgently, otherwise he would not be able to replenish the nutrition at all. He could only hold on and climb up little by little, and finally reached the bottom of the coconut. He leaned against the tied cloth, grabbed the coconut with one hand and slowly twisted it, and then let the coconut fall to the ground by itself.

Just as Zuo Qingcang began to twist the third coconut, his eyes suddenly condensed. He saw from the coconut tree that was about 300 meters above the sea, and there seemed to be a man lying on a floating wooden board.

After picking another coconut, Zuo Qingcang began to go down from the tree bit by bit. After landing on the ground, he did not rush to check the situation of the person on the sea, because his condition is not good now, and it is too dangerous for him to roam three hundred meters above the sea. Although he also wanted to drag the person ashore and get some news that is useful to him.

So he found a stone first, smashed the picked coconut open, and started eating the coconut juice and flesh inside. After eating a coconut, Zuo Qingcang sat on the ground and rested, and began to replenish the energy he had just crawled into a tree.

While resting, he set his eyes on the shadow more than 300 meters away. Sitting on the beach, he obviously couldn't see it as clearly as he could on the top of a tree. If he didn't pay attention to it, he wouldn't be able to find that the shadow was lying alone on the wooden board.

Zuo Qingcang narrowed his eyes and looked at it for a while. The other party seemed to be from the same fleet as him, and seemed to be wearing the clothes of soldiers of the Great Qi Dynasty.

When he thought of this, the other party's head seemed to be raised, revealing a pale face, and a blood-red wound split his face in half. The dead face was raised and looked in the direction of Zuo Qingcang, and then smiled coldly.

Zuo Qingcang was shocked, but when he looked closely, he found that the other party had never raised his head, or it should be said that he could not clearly see these details of the other party at this distance.

After rubbing his temples, Zuo Qingcang wondered if he had hallucinations because he was too tired. However, thinking of the strange corpses on the boat, Zuo Qingcang still grabbed a stone and walked slowly towards the sea.
