Last Totem Novel - Chapter 77
Chapter 77 Wasp
During dinner, Iron Dregs had eaten the black-backed piranha as he wished, and it was also roasted in soy sauce. He finally felt a little more balanced. After all, it would take at least a dozen days for the carapace and joints to grow back.
Without these two abilities, his combat strength would be greatly reduced, and he could only rely on his spear and chopper. However, if they were fighting on flat ground, the difference would not be too great, but if they were fighting on complicated terrain, the difference would be far greater. Now on the ship, the space is narrow, three-dimensional structure, belongs to the complex terrain. Without these two abilities, his protection would be greatly reduced. Fortunately, the people on board were all fine, so it wasn’t too dangerous.
At the very least, if not for the captain’s reminder, he might not even have a lifebuoy. Of course, even if the captain didn’t remind him, he might have noticed the existence of the lifebuoy. However, this was only a hypothesis. He was a person with clear grudges, and it was indeed someone else who helped him in this matter.
For the next few days, Tie Zha strolled between the kitchen and the deck every day. Life on the boat was very boring, and he was an honored guest, so he didn’t need to work, so he was even more idle.
After experiencing this life and death catastrophe, the captain stopped for a few days. Apart from standing at the bow and looking at the scenery, he didn’t dare to mention fishing anymore. However, he was the kind of person who had forgotten to feel pain after recovering from his scars. When Accountant was almost healed, his own scars were scabbed and he began to shout for fish and vegetables again. However, there was only one boat left on the ship, and it needed to be left for emergency use. Therefore, he only called out twice and did not take any action.
On the sixth day of sailing, the Big Dipper sailed within five nautical miles of the target island. The captain ordered the anchor to stop. The two strongest men on the ship, the fat cat and Rick, who had fish-scale tattoos, lifted the huge anchor left and right and moved to the ship to throw it.
“Plop!” With a muffled sound, the ship’s anchor splashed with water. The thick iron chains scratched the deck and rushed into the sea. Then, the two of them threw down the anchors at the other three places. The Big Dipper finally came to a halt as the four hooks sank to the bottom of the sea.
The captain called for Accountant and ordered him to release the scouting bees. Accountant limped to the deck with his walking stick. He struggled to move it while whispering, “Owner Sweat, you’re not allowed to rest even if you’re seriously injured …”
“Where’s the beehive?” The captain asked. Accountant raised his walking stick to indicate that he couldn’t get it. The captain turned to the mate and said, “You go.”
Upon hearing the order, the first mate’s entire body was in a bad mood. This human demon’s beehive was filled with ferocious mutated tiger-headed bees. If he didn’t go get it himself, it would be very easy for him to get stung. Last time, he was stung on his butt, and it hurt for several days, but he still remembered it clearly. However, the leader had an order, so he had no choice but to brave it out.
“You go help too.” The captain pointed at Feng Yun and ordered. Feng Yun simply followed the first mate down and quickly brought up four wooden boxes.
“Help me open it.” The accountant raised his walking stick and pointed at the beehive. The mate rolled his eyes and scolded, “Trick yourself with that shit, don’t look for me.”
Accountant shrugged helplessly. The captain frowned and took the beehive in the mate’s hand. He took two steps to the edge of the boat and drew the partition away with a brush. In an instant, dense wasps surged out. The captain was standing in the swarm of bees, countless wasps flying about, causing others to be frightened and their scalps to go numb. The captain, however, acted as if nothing had happened. He pointed at the first mate and said, “Look, there’s nothing wrong. How can you be so cowardly and do such a big thing?”
The first mate nodded as he cursed, “How dare that demon bite you …”
Not long after, the four beehives opened and swarms of mutated tiger-headed bees circled in the air. Accountant raised his hand and clenched his fist, then opened it forcefully. The swarm immediately split into two, two into four, four into eight …
After splitting into hundreds of small clusters, Accountant pointed his finger and the swarm of bees let out a neat buzzing sound before rushing towards the island. In an instant, the black mist surrounding the Big Dipper disappeared without a trace.
Accountant revealed a complacent expression. Just as he was about to pretend to have a deep “hehe” smile, he discovered that Tie Zha was looking at him. In an instant, a chill filled his entire body. If this fierce wolf took a fancy to him, he would have no choice but to cry.
Indeed, his guess was correct. Tie Zha had indeed taken a fancy to his ability, and he was still thinking about what he could use it in. First of all, under the influence of the blade carapace and blade joint feet, all the mutated tiger-headed bees would put on their piercing armor and obtain sharp and slender joint feet. Their strength, speed, and endurance would also greatly increase; Secondly, these mutated tiger-headed bees can be used not only for reconnaissance, but also for combat.
Thinking of this, Tie Zha’s gaze towards Accountant grew brighter and brighter. The latter saw all of this and was truly embarrassed. As the saying goes, “I’m not afraid of thieves, I’m just afraid of thieves thinking about me.”
This iron slag is not only a thief, but also a bandit, even a ferocious beast …
At this time, the accountant saw the iron slag walking towards him. His feet softened and he almost couldn’t stand firmly.
“Where did you get this wasp from?” Tie Zha asked straightforwardly.
‘”I…” Accountant trembled, not knowing how to answer. Seeing this, the captain beside him frowned slightly and came over to explain, “Catch the newly born queen bee from the wild and then feed him her blood. After that, the eggs laid by the bee will be able to establish communication with him.”
“Not bad.” Iron slag said.
“Please remember, we are on the same boat now.” Whispered the captain.
Tie Zha narrowed his eyes, causing the atmosphere to instantly turn a little cold. Seeing that the two of them were in an impasse, Feng Yun hurriedly approached them and said, “They are all from our own side. Brother Tie is just curious. I can guarantee his personality with my life.”
Tie Zha looked at Feng Yun, grinned, and said, “Then you’re dead.” Feng Yun opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a moment. At this moment, the captain laughed instead. It was better to speak so bluntly than to sneak around.
With the iron slag and the captain relieved, the atmosphere quickly returned to normal.
Half an hour later …
Accountant pretended to be a tiger and asked the first mate to move things down. The mate helplessly ran to the cabin and brought over a set of drawing seats and a large scroll of white paper. After a while, wasps flew back one after another and stopped on the drawing table. Accountant picked up the pencil and drew while communicating with the wasps.
Not long after, Accountant finished his first painting. The captain, Tie Zha, Feng Yun, and Zhao Linglong gathered together and carefully observed the painting.
The picture shows the vision of a small island. The rocks on the island were rugged, and weathered rocks could be seen everywhere. There is a large semi-circular building in the middle of the island. The exterior walls of the building reflect sunlight, and even sketches can be seen as solar panels.
“Look here, there are two boats.” Said the captain, pointing at a corner of the island.
Upon closer inspection, there were two blurry shadows at the position the captain was pointing at, but he could not tell what they were.
“This season, winds are blowing from the north, and the current is from east to west, so this is the best place to stop the ship. If there’s anything here, it’s definitely a ship.” The captain analyzed.
After a while, more wasps flew back. Accountant took out the nautical chart and looked at it for a while. He pointed in a certain direction and sent the wasp out again.
Half an hour later …
Accountant finished the second painting.
This time, it was somewhere on the island.
The painting was covered in snow, and the trees were bare. There were all kinds of rubbish on the ground. There were bottles, cans, plastic bags, and worn-out military boots …
“The base of the ground garrison in the Western Continent.” Zhao Linglong pointed to the military boots in the painting and said, “The western continent is dominated by railway traffic. The soles of the ground garrison boots are thinner than those of other places. The soles of the military boots are worn, but the upper of the boots is not damaged.”
“We all know that this is the ground garrison of the Western Continent.” Feng Yun said.
“They often go to the bar in Luoyan Town to drink.” The captain added.
“Alright … you guys won.” Zhao Linglong touched her forehead.
“Is that canned meat jerky?” Tie Zha pointed at the screen and asked.
“One of the standard meals for the ground forces of the Western Continent. Apart from jerky, there are also vegetables and disposable heaters.” Zhao Linglong replied.
“I want a hundred boxes.” Iron slag said.
Zhao Linglong touched her forehead helplessly. “I … I didn’t …”
“No problem!” The captain was very generous.
“I’ll take the valuable items.” Feng Yun said.
“I also need some high-pressure nitrogen and polymeric batteries.” “I want a car. It’s better to use both land and water.” “The garrison’s uniform is not bad. Give me three sets.” “Is there any pressurizer …”
Zhao Linglong touched her forehead again. Before they could enter the arena, they had already begun to split the spoils.
At this moment, Accountant finished his third painting.
There were two boats parked in a shallow bay. A ship that looked very new and equipped with a lot of equipment could be seen with various radar and signal collectors on the command tower. The bow of the ship was painted with the symbols of the crescent moon, birds and swords. The other one looked old, tattered, and unpainted, but the command tower hung a flag full of stars.
The captain only took a glance and cried out in shock, “No way! Star Chaser! It’s over, it’s over, let them take the lead, all the good stuff is gone!”
“Wait, look at this ship.” Feng Yun pointed at the ship that looked very new.
“Ah … they’re also here.” Zhao Linglong said to herself.
“What! They?” The captain asked.
Zhao Linglong came back to her senses and immediately hugged the captain’s arm. She said excitedly, “They are the southwest branch of the New Moon Alliance. Let’s go meet them!”
The captain frowned and looked at the ship in the picture. After a while, he sighed deeply and said, “Let’s go …”
“Ah?” Zhao Linglong looked at the captain in surprise, and the smile on her face froze. At this moment, the captain’s expression was a little wooden. Thus, she turned her head to look at the others, only to discover that Tie Zha and Feng Yun were both frowning, as if they were deep in thought …
