Last Totem Novel - Chapter 71
Chapter 71 Uprising
“Wu …”
The melodious whistle could be heard from afar. The Big Dipper slowly moved forward and began her journey to the Black Sea.
Less than ten minutes after sailing, the captain gathered his men on the deck and launched an uprising.
Upon hearing the news, the red-haired girl, Zhao Linglong, came to the scene and asked, “Uprising? Did you get a 90% approval rating?”
“Of course!” Said the captain confidently.
“Boss, we support you!” “Uprising! Uprising!” “Boss, you will always be our boss.” The sailors scrambled to make their stand known, and Accountant Wu Congyun’s duck voice was especially loud.
Zhao Linglong glanced around and asked contemptuously, “Are you sure you want to revolt?”
“Uprising!” “Yes!” “Uprising …” “Don’t listen to women!” “Long hair, short experience.” “The ship will definitely sink.” “You can even hit an iceberg.” The sailors were discussing.
“Are you sure you want to follow this notorious shameless man?” Zhao Linglong asked.
“Better than a woman.” “Yes! Better than a woman.” “Women can only go back and have children.” “Breastfeeding, and breastfeeding.” “Hahaha” The sailors burst into laughter.
Although the situation was one-sided, there was still a discordant voice from the crowd …
“I revolt for myself!” Feng Yun, the former Big Dipper captain and now Big Dipper chef, raised his spoon and shouted loudly.
“Ah ~ An opponent.” The corners of Zhao Linglong’s mouth curled up slightly, and for a moment, her charming eyes danced about, looking very good.
“You traitor!” Xia Yihan, the former captain of the Big Dipper and now the pilot of the Big Dipper, pointed at Feng Yun’s nose and cursed loudly.
“I am loyal to the captain of the Big Dipper. You are not the captain now, and I am not supporting her. I am rebelling on my own!” Feng Yun argued.
“Good, good, good.” The navigator waved his hand and ignored the chef. He turned to Zhao Linglong and said, “There are twenty people on board. Two objections are useless. I still have a 90% approval rating.”
“Is that so?” Zhao Linglong looked at the strong man with the fish scale tattoo. The latter immediately stood behind the former and put his hands behind his back. The captain was so shocked that his mouth was wide open that he was speechless for a long time. Zhao Linglong gently opened her lips and added, “Allow me to introduce you again. This is the guard I brought from my hometown, Rick, a Black Iron Grade Bug Transformation Warrior.”
The captain took a deep breath and shouted, “I want to start a bloody uprising!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the sailors sucked in a breath of cold air. There are two kinds of deep-sea fishermen’s uprisings. Those that gain support in a peaceful way are called “character uprisings”. They compete with each other for their charisma and sailing ability. The other was to use his fists to speak, so he was called the “Bloody Uprising”, which was fought with force.
“I don’t know how to fight.” “I don’t know how to use a gun.” “I only killed rats.” “I haven’t even killed a rat.” “I’m dizzy.” “I don’t want to die.” The sailors retreated, and even Accountant shouted.
The captain turned to look at Tie Zha, as if asking for his opinion.
Seeing this, everyone quieted down and looked at Tie Zha. Even Zhao Linglong followed suit, a trace of unease flashing across her fair face. The windbreaker youth in front of him was the strongest person on the ship, and Rick, a Black Iron Rank, was knocked down by him in just one face-to-face fight. The opponent’s strength was unfathomable. If she really wanted to help the captain, she could only give up.
Discovering that he had become the focus of everyone’s attention, Tie Zha slowly walked to the middle of the deck. His vulture-like eyes scanned the deck for a moment, and then said indifferently, “I’m a passenger.” With that, he walked to the edge of the boat under everyone’s astonished gazes, crossed his hands in front of his chest, leaned against the iron fence, and pretended to be irrelevant.
The neutrality of the iron slag directly declared the bankruptcy of the uprising. The captain laughed dryly twice, waved his small flag and ran back to the bow, continuing to be his navigator.
The people on the deck quickly dispersed and went about their own business. Some mop the floor, some move things, some repair, as if nothing had happened.
Zhao Linglong and Rick exchanged a glance and both heaved a sigh of relief. These pirates were really hard to deal with. However, it was finally the first problem solved. After that, Zhao Linglong looked meaningfully at Tie Zha, then at the captain, then turned around and returned to the captain’s room.
About two hours later, the sky was completely bright. The warm sunlight shone on the deck, and the gentle sea breeze blew over, making people feel very comfortable.
Rick carried the small white round table and four exquisite crossing chairs to the deck. Afterwards, he put up the small round table, opened the chair and put it in order. He went back to the captain’s room and brought a large disk. There were coffee sets made of white porcelain, coffee pots painted with bright red flowers, pure white milk pots, glassware containing sugar cubes, four exquisite coffee cups, and small silver companion spoons.
Rick carefully placed the cup and clapped his hands. After a while, Zhao Linglong came out of the captain’s room and invited Tie Zha, Captain Xia Yihan, and Captain Feng Yun to the deck for coffee.
The four of them sat down. Zhao Linglong picked up the cup and stirred the coffee with a silver spoon. She said slowly, “We each represent the four forces on this ship. I think we should sit down and have a good talk.”
“What kind of power is he! He’s just a chef! He’s also a traitor!” Captain Xia Yihan pointed at Captain Feng Yun and cursed.
“You’re just a navigator.” Captain Feng Yun smiled and reminded.
“Yes, I’m a navigator.” As he spoke, Captain Xia Yihan picked up his coffee cup and walked to the edge of the boat. He looked at the sea and then turned around and said, “Look, I’m working. You go down and cook immediately and do your job like me.”
“This” Captain Feng Yun looked at Zhao Linglong with an inquiring gaze.
“What do you think?” Zhao Linglong quietly kicked the ball to Tie Zha.
“As a passenger, I only care about lunch.” Tie Zha said indifferently.
“Ya ~ I understand.” Zhao Linglong nodded and said to Captain Feng Yun, “I’m sorry. From the current situation, more than half of the forces want you to go back to the kitchen to prepare lunch.”
“F*ck.” Captain Feng Yun cursed, drank all the coffee in one gulp, patted his apron, and went back to the kitchen.
After Feng Yun left, the captain leaned back and whispered in Zhao Linglong’s ear, “You are truly notary and selfless.”
“Don’t come” Zhao Linglong raised her hand and pushed the captain.
Not long after, Captain Feng Yun returned to the deck with a large basket of potatoes in his hand. He peeled the potatoes and said happily, “Look, work and negotiation are correct.”
After finishing her coffee, Zhao Linglong put down her cup and nodded at Rick. The latter immediately took out a nautical chart and laid it flat on the small round table. Zhao Linglong cleared her throat and said, “The three of you here are all people with status …”
“What kind of identity does he have!” The captain pointed at Feng Yun and said.
Zhao Linglong ignored it and continued, “My name is Zhao Linglong. I’m from the Central Continent and I’m a member of the New Moon Alliance.”
“What did you get?” “Never heard of it.” The two former captains of the Big Dipper said in unison. Tie Zha did not understand. He rarely left Tieshan Town, let alone places outside the Northern Wilderness Continent.
Zhao Linglong saw that the three of them looked confused, so she had to spread her knowledge of history and geography.
There are five major continents in this world: the Central Continent, the Western Continent, the Northern Wilderness Continent, the Far East Continent, and the Southern Continent, known as the Forgotten Cemetery.
Let’s start with the southern continent …
Hundreds of years ago, the nuclear war of mankind began in this disputed land and ended in the destruction of this disputed land. The southern continent was now a scorched earth, without a single blade of grass growing. Even after hundreds of years, the effects of radiation still existed, and no living thing could survive in the southern continent. Thus, the southern continent is also known as the cemetery of the forgotten.
During the world nuclear war, the western continent was barely affected, and it was the best preserved land in human civilization.
The Northern Wilderness Continent was the second battlefield of nuclear war. Most cities were razed to the ground in the flames of war, and countless lands were turned into wastelands and deserts.
The Far East Continent was the largest of the five continents, several times larger than the other four combined. However, since ancient times, the Far East Continent had been a barren land with no resources or minerals. There were mountains and hills everywhere, and it was very difficult to grow crops. Only a small number of primitive tribal civilizations lived on this land.
Finally was the Central Continent, the birthplace of human civilization, rich in goods, fertile and vast land, six times the size of the Northern Wilderness Continent, affected by nuclear war is second only to the Western Continent. However, a hundred years after the end of the human nuclear war, many spatial and temporal rifts appeared on the central continent. Countless creatures from other planes poured into this world like tides through these cracks.
As for the sudden appearance of the space-time rift, scientists speculated that this was due to the eruption of a full-scale nuclear war, causing the parent planet to be unable to carry too much energy and could only spill out to the outside world, thus creating a space rift.
Whether the scientists’ explanation is correct or not, this has become an unchangeable fact. The central continent eventually became a battlefield between planes, repeatedly invading and being invaded. This continued until the appearance of the psionic biochemical armor. As a result of the mass production of psionic biochemical armor, humans’ combat strength had greatly increased, and they had seized most of the land. At present, most of the spatial and temporal rifts had been controlled by humans, and some of them had even been forcefully closed, leaving only a small number that could not be controlled.
“What does this have to do with us?” “That’s right, what does it matter?” The two captains rarely put forward the same point of view. This reflected the pirates’ basically identical values. It could also be said to be “the world’s crow-like darkness”.
Zhao Linglong ignored their questions and continued to explain the situation.
The Crescent Alliance, one of the core organizations of the Central Continent, is committed to promoting peace and development in the human world.
“Too great!” “Even I am touched.” The two captains said hypocritically.
Tie Zha was also a little unable to continue listening. What was “committed to promoting peace and development in the human world”? Such a noble thought was simply a hoax. Just listening to it made his eggs hurt. In this world, how could there be such a great organization? If people could think of others, then there would be no Silver City.
Zhao Linglong snorted as she looked at the disdainful gazes of the three of them and changed the topic.
“Anyway, the purpose of my visit is to investigate a military base in the Western Continent, where the Crescent Alliance suspects that they are conducting experiments in violation of the World Convention.” Zhao Linglong paused and raised her head to look at Captain Xia Yihan. She said seriously, “Help me investigate that place. After the matter is completed, the Big Dipper will return it to you.”
