Chapter 90: Sir, you are the hero arranged by the gods!
"Everything was going smoothly during the voyage, but the shipwreck happened suddenly and strangely."
"The Pig Kiss broke into two halves, but fortunately it was very close to the island, so most of us escaped ashore."
"We discovered that the captain was missing, and the first mate took charge of the situation..."
Muban described it in detail.
What he said was not much different from what Zhenjin got from Huang Zao and Cang Xu.
The survivors gathered on the beach, all wanting to leave here. No one wanted to spend the rest of their lives on an island.
The primary issue before everyone is food.
Therefore, the first mate dispatched the first exploration team of cyanobacteria, yellow algae, etc., with the purpose of exploring and collecting food resources, preferably stable water sources, meat sources, etc.
Cang Xu volunteered and joined the exploration team.
However, this exploration team, which carried everyone's hopes, mysteriously disappeared.
The people who stayed on the beach were even more afraid of this mysterious and dangerous island, and they were more eager to escape.
The ship broke in half, and everyone knew that to leave the island, a new ship must be built.
There is no shortage of trees, and the desert is surrounded by dense rainforests.
However, felling trees, processing wood, and manufacturing ships are all labor-intensive tasks. The more tired people are, the more physical energy they consume, and the greater their consumption of food.
People tried their best to search for every survival resource from shipwrecks and wooden barrels floating on the sea. Even human corpses were not spared.
However, without a stable source of external food, even if these food reserves are reasonably priced, they cannot sustain continuous consumption day and night.
As time goes by, the life of the army becomes more and more difficult.
The first mate had to implement food control, which aroused everyone's dissatisfaction.
The lack of food, the hopelessness of escape, and the heavy work every day made people complain, feel impetuous, and find it difficult to settle down.
A large ship that can cross the continent and resist the attacks of murlocs in the ocean naturally has good combat effectiveness.
The crew members are closely united and obey the first officer's orders.
Therefore, although internal conflicts grew day by day, the first mate stabilized the situation.
Seeing that the food reserves dropped to the warning level, the first mate had no choice but to try to form a second exploration team.
Some people stepped forward and took the initiative to join the second exploration team for the sake of the overall situation. But more people did not want to face the dangers in the jungle by themselves. If they stayed in the large army, wouldn't they still have food every day?
The first mate knew that this could not continue. Most people were unwilling, so he had to announce the draw.
The result of the drawing of lots caused everyone to be in an uproar.
Because very few crew members were drawn, most of them were passengers.
This made people very suspicious that the first officer secretly manipulated the drawing of lots and deliberately favored them. People asked for a new draw.
The first mate's attitude was very hesitant, because of course the crew did not want to explore the dangerous rainforest. The crew members were the most supportive of the first mate, while the passengers on the other side stood against the crew.
As internal worries intensified, an unexpected incident triggered the entire deadlock.
"I was so exhausted that day that I almost lay on the beach and fell asleep. Late at night, I and the people around me suddenly heard a woman's scream."
"At first, we thought it was a bird that had died in the jungle. But then, the noise from the first mate's side became louder and louder, with men's roars, curses, and the sounds of swords fighting fiercely coming out."
"As soon as I climbed up from the straw bunk, a sailor with a worried look told us to get weapons and go to support the first mate. The sailor told me that a group of passengers had raided the first mate's camp with evil intentions."
"Although I'm not a crew member, because of my work, I've always been together with the shipbuilder. The sleeping areas are also next to each other."
"Of course Lao Si and others stood on the first mate's side. They picked up their swords and rushed to the camp. I also took a crossbow and followed them."
"When I got near the camp, I found that there was already a lot of fighting there."
"The passengers who launched the attack surrounded the first officer's camp. We tried to rush in from the outside, but failed twice in a row."
"Fortunately, the third time, the fourth son called his silly son over. We all called him Silly Big Man. He was an abandoned baby adopted by the shipwright, the fourth son. He was a hybrid of a giant and a human. He was over three meters tall.
He was tall and very strong, and could pull out a tree directly. The stupid guy just listened to the advice of the fourth boatman, and he swept across the tree trunk with the tree trunk. The passengers could not resist and were defeated."
"Just when we thought we were going to succeed, Zong Ge stepped forward."
"He is a half-orc and the leader of the rebels. He wore a thick set of fine steel armor and resisted the stupid tree sweep. Then, he stepped on the tree, ran all the way, and jumped to the stupid tree.
He knocked the big fool to the ground with only his fists. The big fool fought back randomly, but Zong Ge defused them all. In the end, he was beaten by Zong Ge until he held his head and begged for mercy."
"Zongge defeated the stupid guy, and he also defeated us. He tied up the first mate, and called everyone to explain the whole story."
"According to what he said, the first mate secretly hid the food and enjoyed it for himself. That night, he also took a fancy to a female passenger. He ordered someone to drug the female passenger into the tent, but Zong Ge and others were
People discovered by accident that this fierce battle took place.”
"We followed Zong Ge into the first mate's camp, and sure enough we found a lot of food that was not in the public treasury."
"The female passenger named Queshan woke up and confirmed what Zong Ge said."
"After I understood the truth of the matter, I decided to side with Zong Ge. Most people made the same choice as me. Even the crew members were a lot shaken."
"With conclusive evidence, the first mate could only admit his crime. Regardless of the objections of the crew, Zonge forcibly executed the first mate. He relied on his strong combat power to become the leader of the camp."
Zhen Jin heard this and nodded: "So, although this Zong Ge is a half-orc, this action is also a heroic act. Does he have anything to do with that Que Fan?"
Mu Ban shook his head: "The two of them don't know each other. Like adults, I initially thought that since Zong Ge could take action angrily against a stranger and stand up for injustice, he would be a more qualified and better leader.
.But then, something strange happened."
"We were attacked."
"Almost every night, someone dies tragically."
"We have examined the body and it seems that the fatal injuries were caused by wild animals."
"But the entire camp area has been cleaned many times. The camp is on the beach, and the surrounding area is almost unobstructed. Where did the wild beasts come from?"
"Zong Ge personally led his team to keep vigil, and at first no one died. But soon, someone was attacked during the day and lost his life."
"Zong Ge is not made of iron after all. He cannot keep vigil day and night without rest. The escort team formed by others cannot prevent the killing from continuing."
"We are all very scared, and there is panic in the camp."
"Rumors abounded. One of them pointed directly at Zong Ge, saying that the real murderer was actually Zong Ge. He is a half-orc, and he is actually an untamed beast. He likes to eat human flesh. If he doesn't eat human flesh, he will go crazy. Once he becomes
Crazy, and even more so, he wants to eat human flesh. The people who died mysteriously in the camp seemed to have wounds caused by wild beast bites, but they were actually Zong Ge. Because he was an orc!"
"Like most people, I didn't believe this rumor at first. Until one day, someone saw a floating corpse on the sea."
"There was such a shortage of food. The person who found the floating corpse was very surprised because he could vaguely see that the floating corpse was floating over. He had complete clothes on him, and there might be food or other resources."
"The discoverer risked his life, swam a long distance, finally came into contact with the floating corpse, and finally dragged the floating corpse ashore."
"The identity of the floating corpse is the captain. There are wounds on his body, penetrating wounds, obviously caused by weapons such as spears."
"The captain was assassinated!"
"So, it is very possible that the shipwreck was also a man-made conspiracy."
"The discovery of the captain's body caused a sensation. The third mate Xiaosuo was the captain's son. He lay on the captain's body and cried loudly. He vowed in public that he would find the murderer of the captain and avenge his father."
"We are also very angry and are speculating about who the real culprit is, why he killed the captain, and why he caused this shipwreck?"
"Based on the fatal wounds on the captain's body, we speculated who had weapons like spears."
"No one is more suspect than Zonge."
"Because not only does he have a powerful and thick stainless steel armor, but the most eye-catching thing is the pair of short spears hanging behind him. Even when he was dealing with the stupid big guy, he didn't use these short spears. There is no doubt that he didn't use these short spears.
, when he holds a short spear, his combat effectiveness must be very impressive."
"The captain has a black iron level of strength, and the same goes for Zong Ge."
"The crew rallied around Xisuo, but everyone understood how powerful Zongo was."
"The attacks are still happening and are becoming more frequent, with people dying almost every day."
"In terms of food, although the part that the first mate hid was filled into the public treasury, it could not bear the consumption, so Zong Ge had no choice but to try to form an exploration team."
"This time, many crew members actively asked to join, and the exploration team was quickly formed."
"On the day the exploration team set off, I was secretly visited by the shipwright Lao Si. He told me that this was all a ploy by Xinsuo."
"Xisuo knew that he couldn't confront Zong Ge for the time being, so he wanted to take the crew away and build a ship alone."
"I knew that the Fourth Shipwright was the most proficient in shipbuilding, so after thinking about it, I decided to join them."
"Not long after the exploration team set off, Zong Ge discovered that Xixuo, Heijuan and myself were missing. He understood that he had been deceived and immediately led the team to pursue them."
"We fled all the way and were about to be overtaken. At this time, the world suddenly changed! The surrounding area was no longer a rainforest, but a forest."
"We were sent here by a mysterious force, and then discovered this camp."
"This camp is very strange. The wooden houses are built directly on the ground with no foundation at all. It seems as if they were pulled directly out of the ground by some giant."
"Xisuo is very happy and thinks this is a miracle. The gods helped us get rid of the cruel and insidious enemies and gave them a temporary camp."
"We repaired the camp and stationed here. Because the shipbuilder and I are also very happy - the wood in the forest is more suitable for making new ships."
"After that, we separated into two teams. Xiao Suo, Lao Si and his stupid son went out to cut wood. We continued to build the camp. But we unexpectedly were attacked by bat monkeys. Fortunately, you saved us.
Killed us!"
"Heroes always appear like this. This must be God's arrangement! We will leave this devil's land under your leadership!"
