Chapter 305 Death and Survival
Leo did not join in the curses of the passengers in the same cabin. He used the method of training his body control ability to separate his perception from the outside world and artificially created a quiet room environment.
Then he took out the Wezzik necklace he got from Fernando, and took out some paper and pen, and carefully copied the patterns and words on the necklace.
The writing of the Wezzik people is a text that is independent of the language system of the Velen world. Some of the patterns that people in the Velen world think are just decorations may be a kind of ideographic writing unique to the Wezzlck people.
Because of this, when Leo analyzed these characters and patterns, he singled out the writing system of the Wezziks, called out various characters from various races in the universe where the Earth Federation is located, and compared them.
When Leo was still a cyborg, he often needed to enter other galaxies and come into contact with various aliens in order to perform tasks. Therefore, when he was created, he had already instilled in his brain more than 3,000 different races from the universe.
languages, and the latest language update has added more than 2,000 languages.
In terms of the number of languages he masters, even all the linguists in the world combined cannot match him.
In the past, he had no use for the languages of these cosmic races, but now analyzing the language of the Wezzik people has made these useless languages the best comparison database.
In just a few hours, Leo had already identified three cosmic race languages whose writing patterns were somewhat similar to those of the Wezziks.
By constantly comparing the rules of writing, Leo gradually figured out some of the grammatical rules of the Wizzik language. He discovered that the Wizzik language turned out to be a ring language.
In the universe of the Earth Federation, Ring Language is a high-level language. The three universal languages are all composed of Ring Language. The pronunciation of this language differs according to different races, but the meaning of the language itself is the same.
of.
To put it simply, ring language is about what you want to say, which is connected into a ring through the special words and characters of ring language. The ring has no beginning, no tail, and no end point, so the meaning of the expression can change infinitely.
In the Earth Federation, linguists once wrote a general history of the earth using ring language, and the external manifestation of this ring language was just a circle printed on sixteen-karat copy paper.
At this moment, Leo discovered that the words and patterns engraved on the Wezzik's necklace happened to be combined into a language sequence that was very similar to the ring language. Although he could not decipher what this language sequence was saying, he felt that it
The content inside may be huge beyond imagination.
In the following days, Leo stayed in the room all the time, and would not even open the door except when the meal was served.
At first, the passengers in the same cabin were confused and curious about Leo's strange behavior. After all, he hadn't come out of the room for such a long time, and he didn't even use the toilet. This made them wonder if Leo was in the room for convenience.
They didn't smell any strange smell, and they were afraid of weird people, so they didn't have the courage to knock on Leo's room door.
However, as they lived in the past few days, Leo's weird behavior did not cause any trouble in the lives of these people, so they no longer took Leo to heart and began to find fun on their own to pass the boring time at sea.
Although the shape of this ship is a traditional sailboat, because the wood in the vinylon world is tough enough and can withstand the pressure and corrosion of seawater, the ship is not much smaller than a steel ship, and the cabin is also divided into three
Sixty-nine and so on.
The passengers in the lower cabin on the ship are all lower-class people. Compared with the orderliness of the upper cabin, it seems extremely chaotic. But also in the chaos, there are also some fun that are not available in the upper cabin. For example, someone opened a temporary store directly here.
A small dance was held in the tavern, and some lower-class women would also make guest appearances at this time, with the kind of people they usually looked down on, to supplement the family income.
In the past few days, Leo's passengers in the same cabin would hang out in the bottom cabin, and sometimes he would bring a few women into the cabin. This made the three people who did not know each other become very close, and also made the spread of the disease less likely.
Got to be very simple.
Yes, just after the ship sailed on the sea for five days, a strange plague quickly spread on the ship. This plague did not appear on some people first and then spread to others like other plagues.
Like a time bomb, almost everyone on the ship fell ill at the same moment, and they quickly entered the critical stage less than an hour after the onset of illness, leaving no time for treatment.
Two hours later, there were less than twenty people alive on the entire ship. Among them, only the first mate and the mechanic in charge of the steam engine were the ship's staff. The others were all passengers, and among the passengers there were nine people.
Minor children.
Faced with this situation, the surviving people simply cannot drive away from the steam-sail dual-power cruise ship, and there are so many corpses on the ship that died of the plague that cannot be disposed of. The longer they stay on the ship, the more danger they will get from the disease.
So the survivors made the decision to abandon ship without hesitation.
They found the lifeboats on the ship, used three to seat people, and two to store food and drinking water. They connected each other with ropes, then put down the lifeboats and hurried away from the plague ship, which was full of corpses.
Check carefully to see if there are any other survivors in the cabin.
At this moment, Leo knew nothing about what was happening in the outside world. He was completely immersed in his study of the Wezzik language. As long as no one knocked on the door, the quiet room he created would not be broken.
In this environment, even if someone shouted loudly outside the door, he would not hear it.
The lack of a first-class waiter to deliver the meal should have aroused Leo's vigilance and suspicion, but at that time his research on the Wezzik language was at its most critical, and when he boarded the ship, he was also prepared
With a large amount of food, when you feel hungry, you will naturally take out the food directly from the storage space, so you will not be able to detect any abnormalities outside.
In this way, this uncontrolled ship, driven only by sails, sailed at sea for another two days. A sudden storm appeared in the sea area where the ship was located, and the uncontrolled ship experienced an extremely abnormal tilt.
At this moment, Leo also noticed something unusual, opened the door and walked out of the room.
The moment he walked out of the room, a strong smell of corpses hit his face, which immediately aroused Leo's vigilance. Instead of looking with his eyes, he directly scanned the entire ship through his mental network, and found that except for him on the ship
Except for that, when everyone else turned into rotting corpses, I was suddenly surprised and surprised.
"What happened here? How long have I been in the room?" Leo felt a little confused at the moment, but soon he put the questions behind him, his mentality returned to normal, and his state of consciousness also adjusted.
He did not leave the room in a hurry, but let the sway of his body and the ship reach the same frequency, and then walked to the rooms of other passengers in the same cabin as if he were walking normally to check the causes of death of the corpses.
I saw these passengers all dressed up and sitting on chairs. Although their rotten faces were full of fear, their postures looked solemn. It seemed that they knew they were about to die, so they wanted to die before they died.
Maintain the last bit of dignity.
Because of the hot weather and the humid climate at sea, the corpses were highly decomposed, but it was still possible to see clearly that there were a large number of diseased abscesses on their bodies. These abscesses were not big, just like small pimples, but the number was huge.
There are many, densely packed together, and the wounds caused by the abscesses are very deep, penetrating into the internal organs. It is almost certain that the cause of death of these people is organ failure caused by disease.
Leo did not just check them casually, but put each corpse on the ground and dissected it carefully. However, after dissecting three corpses, the doubts in his eyes not only did not disappear, but in fact became more intense.
After that, he went to other cabins and dissected five or six corpses in sequence. He found that all the corpses were caused by organ failure caused by abscesses. Moreover, with his knowledge of battlefield medical treatment, he could also see that the abscesses were getting sick very quickly.
Very quickly, it almost reached a fatal level in a short period of time.
"It's not a plague!" Leo made a judgment in his heart at this moment.
When he first discovered that all the people on the ship had died of illness, Leo immediately thought of the plague that broke out in Miria City. However, after repeated inspections, he found that the abscesses looked like they were caused by some kind of plague virus.
, but in fact it has nothing to do with the plague, but a wound that looks like the plague.
"It's witchcraft." A guess quickly came to Leo's mind.
Then, he took off the ring that restricted his power in his hand, released his suppressed supernormal perception, and carefully sensed whether there was any psychic reaction on the wound.
Unfortunately, the time of death may have passed a long time ago, and coupled with the interference from the power in the storm outside, he was unable to perceive anything useful.
Faced with this situation, Leo had no good way to find out the death circumstances of the passengers on the ship. Moreover, the storm was getting stronger and stronger, and the giant sailing ship might capsize at any time. He had to give up searching for the truth and instead
Leave this ship of death alone.
After that, he moved quickly and found the storage room of the ship's kitchen, looked for some food in it, and also found traces of someone moving the food, so he judged that there were probably still people alive, and those people should have left in the lifeboat.
Already.
After finding the food, he immediately rushed to the deck where the lifeboat was placed.
At this time, a huge wave hit the side of the ship. The originally swaying ship was completely knocked aside by the huge wave. Leo grabbed the side of the ship hard to prevent it from being washed away by the huge wave.
After stabilizing his body, Leo did not bother to use the cable to lower the lifeboat. Instead, he directly cut off the lifeboat's cable and threw the lifeboat into the sea. Then he took the oar, jumped into the sea, and dived until he reached the lifeboat.
beside.
After climbing into the lifeboat, he rowed the oars vigorously, adjusted the bow of the boat, and swam along the direction of the waves. Like a small fish, he nimbly avoided waves of dozens of meters high.
Behind him, the Queen Mary cruise ship was overwhelmed by the repeated beating of huge waves, shattered into pieces, and disappeared on the sea level in less than ten minutes.
Leo can't do anything now. Faced with the mighty force of heaven and earth like the sea storm, even a fifth-level psyker like him may not be any better than an ordinary person. Only by stepping into the level of an advanced Omega-level creature can he
Fight against this world power.
Moreover, in this environment where all kinds of chaotic world forces are mixed together, Leo cannot perform witchcraft at all, because the ultimate effect of the originally uncontrollable spiritual energy when encountering this chaotic environment will be unknown, and there are dangers
It's very likely that it's backfired on itself.
The only thing he can rely on now is his body's strength. Fortunately, after Leo's body has undergone transformational evolution, both physical strength and strength have increased a lot, and he can still cope with this kind of sea storm with ease.
In this way, he carefully chose the direction, rowed the boat vigorously, and swam through the gaps in the storm waves, quickly swimming towards the edge of the storm.
After paddling on the sea for more than half an hour, as the waves gradually calmed down, Leo finally passed through the storm area, but now he was not out of trouble because he didn't know where he was now.
It was not that Leo had not carefully studied the situation in the sea area where the route from Vinaya Port to the Kingdom of England was located, but because he did not know how long the ship had been sailing, and because everyone on the ship died, the ship was unmanned.
, and how far it deviated from the channel, making it impossible for him to judge his current position.
Leo is not in the mood to continue studying the language of the Wezzik people now. Although he can extract drinking water through other methods and catch enough food from the sea, this situation of drifting at sea reminds him of an extraordinary incident in the past.
Bad experience.
During that experience, the ship he was on was destroyed in a space war, and he had to board an escape capsule and drift in the universe.
Originally, there was a hibernation device installed in the escape cabin, which could help the people in the escape cabin enter a dormant state. They would not be awakened until they encountered a rescue ship or landed on a certain planet. If no one rescued them, they would not be found.
If you land on a survivable planet, then it is a very merciful thing for the escapees to gradually die in a dormant state.
However, the problem was that Leoda's escape capsule was not equipped with a hibernation device, so he drifted in the universe for three months in an extremely awake state before he was rescued by a passing alien merchant ship.
This experience was definitely his most painful experience, and even if he was still a cyborg without any emotions at the time, he would never be willing to go through it again.
Although he is now at sea, he is not in an absolutely lonely state like he was in the universe, but this environment, this situation, etc. have awakened his most disgusting memory, which also made him decide to find land as soon as possible or
