Various sounds of forging could be heard from all around the Queen.
The pirates carried the planks listlessly to repair the holes left by the Queen.
Ding ding ding.
Ding ding ding.
"ah……"
Charlie looked up at the sky at an angle of 45 degrees. There was no cloud in the sky, but Charlie always felt that there seemed to be a smell called sadness in the sky.
Hmm, it seems to still smell like rum.
On the lookout.
No one noticed that Xiao Sa, who was good at playing with ropes, was rubbing his palms and slowly exhaling a shot of white mist. Then he took out an ancient compass from his close arms and carefully identified the direction, his expression gradually becoming excited.
Gu Gu Gu Gu.
The sounds of hungry bellies could be heard from every corner on the deck.
A pirate with a dark face took out a box from the bottom of the cabin.
"Hey guys, does anyone want some bread?"
bread?
Upon hearing this word, the pirates around them suddenly dropped what they were doing and rushed towards the box like a wolf.
"Hehehe, this is my treasure!"
The moment the box is opened.
A musty smell rose into the sky, and even Xiao Sa, who was high up on the observation deck, smelled the smell of moldy bread and couldn't help but frown.
Not only that.
Among the pile of dark green moldy bread, there were fat and white little insects squirming.
"Fuck...kkk! Even the bugs are so hungry! They actually eat bread!!"
Others broke down and cried.
Generally speaking, pirates have the dignity of pirates. They can eat moldy bread, but they will never eat bread with worms.
Unless...you're really hungry and can't stand it anymore.
"etc!"
Another pirate suddenly thought of a way and secretly took out a piece of dried salted fish from the gap in a pile of wooden barrels.
"Yo--"
The moment they saw the dried salted fish, the pirates who were watching were all bright-eyed.
Don't get me wrong, this dried salted fish is also covered with bugs, but it's not for eating.
Pirates who have experienced hundreds of battles have rich experience. They naturally have unique ways to deal with a box of bread that is moldy and full of bugs.
Just put the dried salted fish on the top of the bread, and the hungry bugs in the bread will come out and burrow into the dried salted fish to eat, leaving the bread innocent.
then.
A group of pirates gathered in a circle on the deck, staring longingly at the dried salted fish on the bread, silently in a daze.
After one hour.
The dried salted fish was covered with white insects that were crawling around.
The moldy bread finally became "clean".
While eating bread.
Some people couldn't help but glance at the closed hatch on the deck, their eyes full of longing.
"It's almost time."
suddenly.
A dog picked at the meaty bones and walked out of the captain's cabin in high spirits.
By the way, he hooked his hind legs and closed the door tightly again.
Pirates have long been accustomed to the clever actions of dogs. At about this time every day, the captain's dog will always run to the captain's cabin regularly, dig out a fresh bone, and then squat on the deck to bask in the sun. The minced meat on the bones was picked happily, making a clicking sound.
Gudong.
A whole shipload of pirates were hungry and gnawing on moldy bread. Their eyes were bulging and bloodshot, staring at the bones in the dog's mouth, and they all swallowed the saliva in their mouths.
By the way, I shed two tears of envy.
Why is it that even a dog has bones to eat, but we can only eat moldy bread?
We are so envious!
We also want to be dogs!
Now that I think about it, there is nothing wrong with being a dog!
Great captain, can you give me a chance to be a bitch?
All the pirates simultaneously made a beautiful wish to be a dog in their next life.
only.
The pirates just thought about it in their minds, glanced at it a little, and had a greedy look on their lips.
Stealing a dog’s bones? Haha, that doesn’t exist.
I remember a few days ago.
There was once a naive pirate who was so hungry that he rushed to snatch the bones from the dog's mouth.
In the end, the weak-looking dog smashed his chest to pieces with his paw, and he twitched on the deck for a full minute before he died happily.
Everyone clearly remembers that poor pirate, as the Queen swayed on the waves, the broken bones in his chest rubbed against the deck, making a clicking sound, which was very pleasant to the ears, but made everyone's scalp numb.
Since that day, no pirate who is not afraid of death dares to covet the bones in Wang Tiandi's mouth.
However, through observation, the pirates learned that the dog had another good habit.
Every time a dog gnaws a bone, he will spit it out on the deck with disdain. At that time, a group of hungry pirates will desperately pick up the dry bones and lick them before the bones have completely dissipated.
meaty flavor.
Even if you can't eat the meat, it's great to take a few bites.
Yi Lin: "..."
In the captain's cabin.
After sending Emperor Wang Tian away with a spare bone, Yi Lin sat on the bed again and studied silently.
In fact, he had not appeared in front of anyone else for several days.
The caring first mate, Ruth, is solely responsible for all daily life on board.
In the cabin, there were no other outsiders, so Yi Lin simply removed all restraints and showed her true self comfortably.
He finally understood why some women in the real world didn't like to wear underwear.
This unrestrained feeling really made Yilin feel a sense of freedom to let herself go.
Yi Lin silently clicked a like.
There is a roll of sheepskin in front of Yi Lin.
There are twenty-eight scratches on it.
Today is the twenty-eighth day after setting sail from Tetuga Island.
"Is it already a third of the way through the second main mission?"
Yi Lin shook her head helplessly, took out another small notebook from under the pillow, and looked at the scrawled records on it.
Originally, with Yi Lin's memory, there was no need to write down such things.
But this kind of aimless sailing life really makes it difficult for Yi Lin to find the energy to remember such boring things, so she simply uses this boring and stupid way to kill time.
"Sink pirate ships: 6."
"Severely damaged naval ships: 3."
"Encountered a storm: 2 times."
"Across the thundercloud area: 2 times."
"Encountered a small vortex: 1 time."
"Encounter with cute little sea monster with tentacles: 1 time."
"..."
This is the record of the "Queen".
These are also various reasons why the Queen is currently so seriously damaged.
Every time Ruth mentioned this, she always looked weird.
She had no idea that she would experience so many "catastrophes" in just twenty days.
What's even more unexpected is that the Queen can still survive to this day.
Yi Lin closed her eyes and thought carefully.
Soon, he opened the captain's panel again.
Nowadays, Yi Lin is very proficient in various data and operations on the captain's panel.
…
【Captain Panel】
【Name】Skeleton Gentleman
【Flag】Gentleman’s Flag
【Reputation】22332/30000
【Level】Famous all over the world
[Skill] Captain’s Insight
【Crew】Ruth Emily, Saxo Sparrow, Wang Tiandi...(click to view details)
[Curse] "Bringing a woman on board will bring bad luck"
【Fleet】Queen
…
As the reputation value required for subsequent reputation levels increases, the above-mentioned records only upgrade Yilin from "famous" to "famous all over the world".
It seems that there is still a certain distance from the "Pirate King".
Yi Lin shook his head, sighed, and pointed his finger at the "Queen".
The Queen's crew, supplies, equipment condition, damage level, artillery shells... all the data are clearly listed in front of you.
"The comprehensive damage degree has reached 42%. Once it exceeds 50%, it is likely to affect the subsequent navigation."
"Moreover, supplies are currently in short supply..."
Yi Lin felt a headache again.
This trial is not like in the game where you can skip the garbage time at will.
Every minute and every second at sea, no matter how dull or boring, must be experienced bit by bit. As fresh water and food become increasingly scarce, Yilin gradually feels the terror and vastness of the ocean.
Even an apostle may not be able to fully bear this terrible loneliness and suffering.
Yi Lin silently took out half a piece of brown bread that was not moldy from the storage space, and then took a bite.
Ruth next to her had already moved forward and opened her mouth obediently.
Yilin glanced at poor Ruth and stuffed the bread into her mouth. Seeing that Ruth seemed to be chewing the whole thing, she immediately pulled out the long piece of bread with a pop and quickly took it back.
in the physical space to prevent the hungry Ruth from eating it in one bite.
Ruth licked her lips and saw that the tempting bread "magically" disappeared again, with a look of resentment on her face.
"My dear captain, if you continue like this, you will lose me..."
"roll."
Yi Lin has always had this neither salty nor cool attitude towards Ruth.
Ruth sighed and stopped acting.
"Dear Rin, according to my calculations, if we don't find a way to replenish supplies, our food and fresh water can only last for five days at most."
In fact, if Yi Lin hadn't been able to conjure "fresh" food out of thin air like magic, Ruth would have been unable to hold on.
Yi Lin nodded and said nothing.
"Besides, those guys couldn't sit still anymore. If it weren't for your dog... haha."
For pirates, credit is shit, and betrayal is commonplace. In this situation where food and water are gradually drying up, if it weren't for Wang Tiandi guarding the deck, the group of pirates would have risen up and rushed in desperately.
Yi Lin's room was robbed of food.
After all, Gouzi could pick out a fresh meat bone from Yi Lin's room every day. If their captain didn't hide the food... no one would believe it.
Yi Lin already knew about Ruth's reminder.
The biggest change on the captain's panel, in addition to the pile of material data, is the number and loyalty of the crew.
After these twenty days, various battles and shipwrecks reduced Yilin's crew of nearly 200 people to 101 people...including a dog.
It is worth mentioning that Charlie, the battle force floor, is still alive, which is incredible.
Except for Wang Tiandi, whose loyalty is still zero, and Ruth's loyalty, which has strangely doubled, the loyalty of other crew members has plummeted, and many have fallen to negative numbers.
——You may rebel at any time.
As Ruth said, if it weren't for Gouzi's control and Yi Lin's sufficient intimidation in the previous naval battles, this group of lawless pirates would have overturned the rule of the skeleton gentleman captain long ago.
Another half day passed.
Saxophone, who was on the observation deck, suddenly sounded the alarm frantically.
"Are there any more enemy ships?"
Ruth's expression changed, and she skillfully pulled it behind her, tied a standard bow on her corset, and soon resumed her "Louis Mate" outfit and rushed out of the cabin.
Because Ruth's figure is not as exaggerated as Elizabeth Lin's, her dressing efficiency is more than twice as fast as Yi Lin's.
Yilin felt helpless about this.
Yi Lin quietly released Bai Xiaoyi and quietly planted an eye on the deck.
All I could see outside the boat was the dim light.
There was a thick layer of fog surrounding it.
At some point, the Queen sailed into a sea filled with thick fog.
Seeing that the enemy ship did not appear as expected, Yi Lin quickly put Bai Xiaoyi away.
ten minutes later.
Ruth ran back again.
But her expression was a bit strange: "There seems to be an island in front of you."
