Chapter 452: Going out to sea, collision

The boundless sea.

This is already the eighteenth day since Zhao Ya and the others came out, but as far as the eye can see, there is still only the boundless sea.

The sea reflects the scenery of the sky, and while driving, it seems as if the entire world has been destroyed, and only this black ship is left, feeling extremely lonely.

In the control room, Shi Bolong was humming a tune, sitting in a wheelchair and drinking wine.

Zhao Ya on the side is studying a thick nautical atlas.

Shi Bolong looked sideways for a while, and finally couldn't help but said: "Sir, this nautical chart book came with Tianjimen when I bought this black ship. Most of the information on it has expired, and it is not useful for current navigation at all. It has some reference value, so you don’t have to read it all the time.”

For all those who make a living on the boundless sea, besides ships, the only thing that matters about their lives and wealth is this information about sea routes.

It is no exaggeration to say that detailed and accurate navigation information is invaluable.

Especially information on unpopular areas far away from busy sea routes is priceless.

The reason for this is that the boundless sea is mysterious and dangerous. If you drive rashly without reference, the risk is very high.

In addition, the sea is not as good as the land, and information changes frequently, which makes navigation information precious.

The nautical chart book that comes with Tianjimen is basically a commercial product, and the information recorded in it is basically some information about busy sea routes. In addition, so much time has passed, so it has little value at all.

Zhao Ya said without raising his head: "I know, I'll just take a look."

Although expired navigation information is useless for navigation, it is very useful to Zhao Ya.

He could tell a lot from this.

For example, the composition of this world, and how many worlds are connected by those busy sea routes, etc.

Shi Bolong curled his lips when he heard this, and then stopped talking.

After looking at it for a long time, Zhao Ya finally raised his head and took a deep breath.

He has read all of this palm-thick nautical chart book, and has a deeper understanding of the outside world.

But the more this happened, the more incredible Zhao Ya felt.

Because the world is really too big.

Every sea route in this nautical atlas connects many worlds, and the area of ​​each world is no smaller than the outside world, and the area of ​​some of these prosperous worlds is even more unimaginably vast.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the boundless sea. There are still many areas that have no records or even been reached by anyone.

Therefore, as Zhao Ya, who has received a complete scientific education, it is difficult to imagine how big a planet must be to host so many worlds.

It stands to reason that planets have their own volume limits, and they will turn into stars after reaching a certain limit.

But Zhao Ya soon put this idea behind him.

This world obviously cannot be measured by the standards of previous lives.

Otherwise, this boundless sea alone would not be possible.

"Where have we traveled now?" Zhao Ya asked.

Shi Bolong glanced at the positioning on the water screen and said, "We have left the no-man's land. If we walk a few days further, we will reach the nearest sea route."

The black ship traveled very fast on the sea, and the timing of their coming out was very good. The journey was calm and they sailed out of the fog of Wuwu Sea without encountering any obstacles.

After arriving at the boundless sea, not to mention those raging sea monsters, we didn't even encounter any big waves, so we sailed out of the no-man's land so quickly.

"Well, does that mean we are about to reach the first world?" Zhao Ya asked.

"That's right, let's take a look at what the first world is... Well, it's the Mountain Tiger Realm, a world where horizontal physical training is respected. It belongs to the Dacheng Garden Treasure Mountain and has high strength." Shi Bolong was familiar with the treasures of his family. Tell me the information you know.

This was also the reason why Zhao Ya was not in a hurry to get rid of him.

After all, as a disciple of Wuyou Longevity Palace and having wandered on the sea for so many years, his experience is very rich, which is far beyond what he can match by looking up information.

For example, now, not only does he know what the first world he arrived at after coming out is, but he also has a clear understanding of its background, what he is good at, and the level of strength.

This also provides great convenience for future voyages.

Of course, this does not mean that Zhao Ya has relaxed his vigilance towards Shi Bolong.

On the contrary, after these days of contact, Zhao Ya became more wary of Shi Bolong.

Because the more he got to know him, the more he discovered that this Shi Bolong was no ordinary person.

If nothing else, let's just say that after his limbs were broken by him, instead of showing any resentment, he sat in a wheelchair every day, drinking wine leisurely and looking very happy.

This kind of forbearance alone is beyond human reach.

However, Zhao Ya did not show any hostility. Instead, he was very enthusiastic, as if he had relaxed his vigilance towards Shi Bolong.

Shi Bolong's performance was similar.

The two of them actually knew each other's thoughts, but they both tacitly agreed not to mention it in order to maintain the fragile harmony on the surface.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and then the snake girl walked in carrying a tray.

"Sir, it's time to eat!"

"Leave it there."

"yes!"

The snake girl lowered her head and respectfully placed the food on the table before exiting.

At this moment, Shi Bolong controlled the wheelchair and came to the table. He glanced at the food first, and then looked at Snake Girl with a half-smile.

"I can't tell, your cooking skills have improved now!"

Although it is just a few ordinary side dishes, they are all delicious and delicious, and just one look at them will make you want to eat.

The snake girl said nothing.

Regarding this former master, Snake Girl's attitude was not to stay away from her, but not close to him either. Unless necessary, she would never say another word to him.

At this moment, Zhao Ya spoke.

"Okay, you go down first!"

The snake girl gave a deep bow, then turned around and went out.

Looking at her leaving back, Shi Bolong smiled, then turned to look at Zhao Ya.

"You plan to..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the control room.

The two were slightly startled at first, and then rushed to the console.

A picture appeared on the water screen.

On the vast sea, there is a huge ship speeding at high speed, and behind it are several smaller ships chasing after it.

From the data marked on the water screen, we can know that this scene happened only five or six nautical miles away.

The key is that the direction of the ship that rushed forward is exactly where Zhao Ya and the others are now.

Shi Bolong's expression also became a little solemn.

"Pirates are hunting. The one at the front should be a merchant ship, but it can't escape because these pirate ships have been modified and are much faster than ordinary ships."

For Shi Bolong, who has been wandering on the boundless sea for more than ten years, this is certainly not the first time he has encountered this kind of scene, and the method he adopted to deal with it is also very simple, that is, to avoid it.

Because the actions of these pirates are generally carefully inspected and carefully prepared.

After all, there are so many merchant ships on the sea. You have to know which merchant ship does not have a backend that is too tough to offend. At the same time, it must be loaded with valuable hard currency.

This requires a lot of time to prepare.

Therefore, once the pirates take action, they will not change their targets easily. Even if you pass by, as long as you keep aloof, these pirates will not cause trouble.

Zhao Ya was naturally committed to this decision.

Zhao Ya is not opposed to helping within his ability, but the current situation is obviously beyond his ability.

So under the joint control of the two, the black ship slowly moved away, giving way to its position.

At the same time, the ship that was five or six nautical miles away just now appeared in sight.

After observing through the periscope for a while, Zhao Ya said in a deep voice: "Can you tell which caravan this is and which force the pirates behind it belong to?"

Shi Bolong shook his head, "I can't see it. Not only can I not see it, but probably no one in the entire world can do what you said."

"The forces in the world are intertwined. There are so many caravans, not to mention pirates. Many of them even disguise themselves as caravans. Once they meet a suitable target, they will transform into pirates."

"In this chaotic situation, no one can tell the difference so clearly, not to mention that both parties have not raised their flags, so it is even more impossible." Shi Bolong said.

In fact, Zhao Ya just asked casually.

He didn't expect Shi Bolong to know everything.

What he was most curious about was what exactly was on board this merchant ship that was being pursued by so many pirate ships.

At this moment, the merchant ship at the front also spotted Zhao Ya and the others, and immediately sounded its whistle as if it had found a life-saving straw.

"Haha, you are asking for help from us." Shi Bolong said calmly, while secretly observing Zhao Ya to see his reaction.

In Shi Bolong's view, Zhao Ya could unite many warriors to come to the beach to stop him for the sake of the people in that small world, which obviously proved that he was a person with moral ideas.

It cannot be said that this kind of person is not good, but in the outside world, this kind of person is often the fastest to die.

So he wanted to see how he would react when faced with this merchant ship calling for help.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ya was not moved at all. Instead, he immediately controlled the console and drove the black ship farther away.

Shi Bolong was a little surprised and finally couldn't help but ask: "You don't plan to save me?"

"Save? Why save? Do you know this merchant ship?" Zhao Ya asked.

Shi Bolong shook his head, "I don't know him!"

"Then it's over." Zhao Ya said calmly.

Shi Bolong was speechless, and at the same time felt a little desperate about his situation.

With such a scary person who is emotionally stable and clear-minded guarding him day and night, how can he escape?

And just when Shi Bolong was lost in thought, the control room of the merchant ship was filled with an aura of despair.

A twenty-eight-year-old cardamom girl looked at the black ship on the water screen, which was indifferent and even took the initiative to retreat, with a look of despair on her face.

"Miss, why don't we stop the ship and surrender now? These pirates are usually seeking money. As long as we agree to their demands, we can keep our lives. And as long as our lives are still there, we still have a chance to turn around." The old man persuaded with a bitter look on his face.

But the girl was unmoved at all, "Stop talking, this ship carries the hope of family rejuvenation. If it falls into the hands of pirates, our Yang family will never have a chance to turn around."

"But what should we do now?" the old man said sadly.

The girl gritted her teeth, "This black ship is a high-end model of Tianjimen. Being able to afford such a ship obviously proves that the opponent is extraordinary. Now that we happen to meet it, only it can save us!"

"But the other party has just made it clear that he wants to stay out of the matter!" the old man said with a puzzled look on his face.

"There's no point in showing your attitude. If you don't want to show off, then I'll force it to do so!" A cunning look flashed in the girl's eyes, and she ordered.

"Turn around and rush towards the black ship."

The old man was startled.

"Miss, you are doing this..."

"Nothing is wrong. For the sake of my family, I can only sacrifice the other party!" the girl said coldly.

The old man originally wanted to say something, but when he saw the determined look on his eldest lady's face, he knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, so he could only sigh secretly.

He knew these newly grown children of the family very well, especially when the eldest lady took charge of a merchant ship just after she turned twenty, which shows how favored she is in the family.

And precisely because of this, she wants to express herself even more.

For example, this time it was actually just a routine voyage, but in the end, this young lady was bestowed with many things.

The idea of ​​reviving the family in one fell swoop was actually an excuse. The real purpose was that she didn't want to fail in her first mission.

But this old butler, who has spent most of his life on the boundless sea and is extremely experienced, always feels uneasy.

Will the person who can afford such a high-end black ship be the kind of person he is?

Will the eldest lady's move to divert trouble to the east be counterproductive and put herself in a place of no return?

Just when the housekeeper was panicking, the merchant ship had already adjusted its direction and rushed towards Zhao Ya and the others.

In the control room, Zhao Ya and Shi Bolong raised their eyebrows at the same time after seeing this, and then looked at each other quickly.

"Tsk, tsk, are today's merchant ships so aggressive in doing things, dragging others into the water without trying to save them?" Shi Bolong sighed.

"Is this boat strong?" Zhao Ya suddenly asked.

"Who are you asking? Or is it us?" Shi Bolong said.

"This is ours!"

"It must be strong, and the price is different. In order to buy this black ship, I almost took out the bone marrow and sold it. Just like the merchant ship opposite, I can buy five of them... Damn it!"

Shi Bolong exclaimed, because at this moment, Zhao Ya controlled the black ship and collided head-on.
