Chapter 580 The Contaminated Land (please vote for me!)
Boom! !
The terrifying sea monster hit the side of the merchant ship. The passengers on the deck staggered, and several fat businessmen almost rolled into the sea.
Countless icy seawater splashed high and fell like a downpour, pouring on the deck.
"Ahh——"
"Help!!"
"My child!"
There was a mixture of frightened screams and angry shouts, and it was a chaotic mess.
Suddenly.
Everything slowed down.
It's like the picture has been pressed ten times and slowed down.
Chen Lun was still leaning against the guardrail, with a calm expression. A small notepad appeared in his hand, spread out, and he was holding an ivory white pen in his right hand, writing on it.
He raised his head slightly and swept his surroundings calmly.
Dozens of boat passengers had panic expressions on their faces. Mothers were nervous and frightened. Children were thrown high by the bumps. Young women fell to the ground. Men clung to guardrails or iron poles, their faces flushed.
Boone held up the dead fish statue in his hand. Under his woolen hat, a pair of eyes spit out anger, while seven or eight people from the Heart of Consciousness team also took out their staffs and were confronting him.
"...The Homing Ship was on its established route from Bunsen Port to the Explorer Islands. Unfortunately, it encountered a storm and an attack by a sea monster. All the guests on the ship were in danger...Fortunately, fate was kind. After the Homing Ship suffered a shipwreck, although the hull of the ship was It was damaged, but it still floated back to Bunsen Harbor along the ocean current, with no casualties.”
After Chen Lun wrote this paragraph in black cursive characters, the pen in his hand disappeared. He closed the notebook with one hand and chuckled:
"A script with no story or logic, but it is enough to save these people..."
He blinked.
The next second.
The surrounding scene returned to normal flow rate.
This was not because Chen Lun had manipulated time, but because of his powerful mental calculations and terrifying physical fitness, which made his reaction speed so fast that the outside world seemed to slow down.
In fact, in the eyes of others, this black-hatted gentleman did not make any move from beginning to end, because it only took him a few tenths of a second to finish writing the script and quietly rewrite it all.
Boom! !
There was another loud noise.
The hull creaked under the load and tilted sixty degrees. The cold water poured in, and the guardrail that Boone was leaning on also broke.
He fell off the deck and plopped into the sea.
The seven or eight members of the Heart of Consciousness team gritted their teeth and cast strange spells. They walked out of thin air one by one, floated and glided on the sea, and chased the place where Boon disappeared.
Chen Lun looked back at the chaotic crowd on the deck, then immediately rose into the air and disappeared.
The ordinary people who saved this boat were just doing it casually. As for what would happen to these people after writing the script, he actually didn't care.
He was more curious about whether there was any connection between the dead fish stone sculpture in Boon's hand and his own octopus stone sculpture.
I don't know if it was because Chen Lun had rewritten his fate, but the storm gradually left the sky above the Homing Ship, and the huge sea monsters also sank back to the sea and disappeared without a trace.
The survivors of the disaster cheered, but the captain told them through the loudspeaker that there was a problem with the boiler room and the ship's hull was seriously damaged. If they wanted to safely dock, they would have to leave it to fate.
The boat passengers were once again desperate.
However, Chen Lun no longer paid attention to these.
His figure was like a kite clinging to the sky, flying high in the sky, his eyes always watching the Heart of Consciousness team and Boone on the sea.
Both sides chased and fled, heading due north.
Boone's coat and scarf were scattered in the sea, and the hat on his head disappeared. He regained the appearance of a fin man, with skin covered with dark green fish scales, sharp teeth, and a pair of eyes glowing with a dark yellow color.
The sea is like his home turf, no matter how strong the waves are or how bitingly cold it is, it has no effect on him. Even the speed of swimming alone surpassed that of the Consciousness Heart team gliding behind them.
Boone turned back from a distance and glanced angrily at the pursuing enemy. Then, he plunged into the sea and dived deeply.
The Heart of Consciousness team suddenly lost their target. Looking at the vast sea, they couldn't help but look at each other. They exchanged a few words urgently and began to use magic means to search...
Chen Lun ignored these people and flew forward with great interest.
Boon deceived everyone in the Heart of Knowledge team by diving, but he couldn't deceive him. Chen Lun knew clearly that this guy changed direction under the sea and was quietly swimming toward the northeast.
In this process.
Chen Lun discovered something strange.
That is, as we continue to go north, some very strange and even scary fish will jump out of the sea from time to time.
For example, a live fish that looks like a mackerel is covered in blood. Although it seems to be trying hard to maintain the shape of its body, its skin and scales are still falling off, and the whole body has a sticky and slippery scarlet gel texture.
There are also some that look like a combination of shrimp and fish. They are obviously fish bodies, but their abdomens are covered with slender and dense legs. They float under the sea surface without moving for a long time, not knowing what they are waiting for.
There is even a kind of eel that has never been seen before. It has four or five dark bodies, sharing a fish head. At first glance, it looks like a mutated black octopus swimming non-stop, but the "tentacles" are several times thicker than the head. .
When the shadow cast by Chen Lun passes over the sea, these strange fish will jump out like crazy, open and close their fine fangs out of thin air, making clicking sounds, as if they are eating some delicious but insubstantial food. .
Chen Lun narrowed his eyes slightly and roughly guessed the truth.
That is this sea area, which seems to have been mysteriously polluted...
The pollution gets worse the further north you go.
However, the exact source of the pollution is not yet known.
Soon, Chen Lun followed the diving Boone to an archipelago, which was the original destination, the Explorer Islands.
Some vaguely visible buildings stood on the pier. Chen Lun took a casual glance and saw that the population in this area was not large, with a total of less than 5,000 people.
At the same time, the pollution is quite serious...
As soon as Boone landed, a group of dock workers happily ran over and seemed to recognize him.
"Brother Boone, did you bring any rotten fish?"
The workers took off their dirty hats, revealing their fin-like appearance.
Boon shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"No. I met the pursuit team of the Madman School on the road. I got rid of them, but you all should be careful, they will probably chase them here..."
"What does it matter? If they come here, then they won't even think about going back."
One of the Finman boatmen grinned, showing sharp fangs.
"Is Mayor Tran here? I'm looking for her..."
Boon looked sad and was about to say something when a group of more than a dozen fin townspeople ran over, dancing and shouting in panic:
"Captain Angler came to the east dock to rob again! Rick's family was all killed!"
With an angry look on his face, Boone pushed aside a few workers and headed east.
The townspeople behind him told him to be careful, but Boone just waved his hand.
After leaving the South Pier, Boone ran wildly among the buildings, and soon arrived at the East Pier, where a group of Finman pirates were burning, killing and looting. The leader was a tall Finman more than three meters tall, with sprouts growing out of his head. A huge tumor blister.
Under the scales all over his body, there were bulges and disgusting tumors, like bunches of fat "grape bunches".
Chen Lun watched all this from high altitude.
The fin pirates who plundered here were far more polluted than the townspeople. They were all deformed, many of their scales fell off, and their bodies were covered in pus.
‘These people are not real fin people...’
Chen Lun narrowed his eyes slightly.
He saw the fate of these people in the past through peeping into their lives.
In fact, whether they are the townspeople of the Explorer Islands or these so-called pirates, they were once ordinary humans... but they were contaminated because they ate too many mutated sea fish.
Meanwhile, demand for that weird fish is growing.
In Chen Lun's sight, what the pirates were plundering was not money at all, but "fish catches"!
The strange fish stored in each household were like treasures, and some of them were even rotten. However, the pirates were even more ecstatic after discovering them, and they picked them up and ate them on the spot.
The fish scales flew everywhere, the shrunken and blackened stinky meat was torn and devoured by the pirates, and a turbid fish eye accidentally rolled to the ground... Chen Lun, who was far away, saw through his terrifying eyesight that there were dozens of fish eyes under it. Hundreds of nematodes squirmed and twisted wantonly.
‘The Explorer Islands are but a corner of a polluted area…’
Chen Lun frowned slightly.
It stands to reason that such a large-scale pollution would not have been formed in a day or two, but the Byron Kingdom did not know anything about it. There are even ships leading here from Bunsen Harbor... The Homing Ship is an example.
He had noticed a disharmonious atmosphere since he set sail, but he never found the key point.
On the pier below, Boone has already fought with the "Captain Angler". Both of them are Sequence Five extraordinary beings, but Boone is a magic type [Sculptor], while the captain is a deep sea type [Deep Diver]. who].
Boone summoned a large number of rotting fish through the palm-sized "dead fish statue". These strange fish had long legs and rushed ashore like a black wave, instantly covering the angler captain.
When the battle became fierce, many pirates were affected and were eaten into a pile of bones by the rotting fish in an instant.
Chen Lun watched all this silently.
He suddenly raised his eyebrows and glanced at a small boat on the shore. A familiar figure was squatting there, quietly watching the battle on the dock.
The slender body was simply wrapped in a set of linen robes, and the long dark green hair was flying in the strong wind. On the beautiful features, a pair of eyes were not as bright as Chen Lun's impression, but more cold and indifferent.
'Lucy? ’
Chen Lun glanced at her and frowned slightly.
Lucy's eyes made him feel strange.
‘Sure enough, there has been a change…’
Chen Lun saw that on Lucy's dashboard, the luck value in the special attribute column was already 100 points as he had guessed, and he couldn't help but secretly thought.
Immediately, he raised his hand to do some divination with the poker, and was surprised to find that Lucy, who was supposed to be on Misty Island, suddenly appeared here, as if teleporting.
Chen Lun lowered the brim of his hat and continued to hide high in the sky, observing silently.
He wanted to see what was going on. (End of chapter)
