Foxiao, Skull Island, it started raining last night, like the Milky Way upside down, covering the sky and the earth.
About 10 kilometers away from the clearing where the Predator was killed, Du Weiguo and Merlin were sitting opposite each other in an empty beast cave.
I don't know what kind of beast left this cave. There are pale and yellow animal bones everywhere, as well as countless dried blood stains. The smell is muddy and foul.
Fortunately, there was no feces in the cave, so it was a sheltered place. Du Weiguo and Meilin both crawled out of the dead, so they had experienced all kinds of scenes, and they didn't care much about the smell.
Although the cave is dirty, it is quite spacious, about the size of two football fields, and the roof of the cave can be more than ten meters high. This shows that the original owner must also be an astonishingly large man.
In a relatively flat and clean open space, a bonfire was set up. A few logs supported a simple frame, and an aluminum army pot hung below.
At this moment, Merlin was wearing Du Weiguo's dirty military uniform soaked with fluorescent green blood and sweat. He was sitting with his bare feet and legs crossed on a large flat skull of an unknown creature, with a slightly dissatisfied look in his eyes.
Opposite him, Du Weiguo was wearing a brand-new British camouflage uniform. He had even changed his underwear and socks with new ones from the inside out. He was clean and refreshing, not to mention feeling energetic.
The grandson was sitting lazily on a rock, wearing a waterproof field trench coat, with a cigar in his mouth and puffing away contentedly.
In fact, when people of the same level as Du Weiguo and Mei Lin have extraordinary physiques, they have long been immune to cold and heat, and they don't care about the changes in cold and heat at all.
But Du Weiguo was a new man both inside and outside, and he was dressed in a fancy way, while Meilin was dressed in tattered, filthy clothes and barefoot, like a beggar.
There is no harm without comparison. Anyway, this huge contrast makes Merlin feel particularly uncomfortable.
But he had no choice, because there was only one set of clean clothes prepared in advance in the cave, and there was a pair of spare military boots, but the shoe size was too small for him to wear.
This cave was found by Du Weiguo. He accidentally discovered it when he was following Merlin last night. He deliberately left some equipment and supplies here.
First of all, because Tie Xue has the ability to interfere with space, Du Weiguo was worried that if he couldn't even open the system space, he would be blind, so he took precautions and set up supply points in advance.
Secondly, it is also to keep the secret of the system space. This secret involves his roots and cannot be discovered by anyone.
"Crack~"
The damp firewood suddenly burst into flames, and a few sparks flew out. One of them, which was still alive, just happened to crash onto Merlin's bare instep.
"Hmph~"
Merlin snorted coldly and shook his feet, brushing off the sparks angrily and looking up at Du Weiguo.
"Wesley, I'm quite enjoying it when you look like this. You look like a tourist. What's wrong? You like this place very much, aren't you in a hurry to leave?"
Meilin didn't smoke yet, and when he saw Du Weiguo puffing away the smoke happily, he became increasingly disdainful of his triumphant face, and couldn't help but say sourly.
Du Weiguo glanced at him with raised eyebrows, slowly exhaled the smoke, half-smiled, and said in a ruthless tone:
"Leave? How to leave? Merlin, do you think those alien bastards have been killed? Can we escape easily?
Besides, the engine and instrument panel will malfunction in the fog, the reefs are dense and the current is countercurrent, so even if there is a boat, it is impossible to get out. "
When Du Weiguo spoke, he pointed meaningfully towards the top of his head. Of course, Merlin understood what he meant, and his face turned darker.
Ever since he learned the exact whereabouts of Anna Kasuri, Merlin felt a little impatient and wanted to leave here immediately and rush to her side.
In fact, it’s not surprising when you think about it. This is an obsession that lasts for hundreds of years!
Merlin frowned and was silent for a long time, exhaled a long breath, and then said dullly:
"If these aliens wanted to take revenge, they should have taken action long ago. As for the undercurrent, it will probably change in the opposite direction in winter after a while, and we will be able to follow the current."
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Du Weiguo immediately became energetic, straightened up, and his tone was full of surprise:
"What? You said that after a period of time, the undercurrent in the mist will reverse? How long will it take? Merlin, are you sure? Have you been to Skull Island before?"
Du Weiguo's mouth was like a machine cannon and he asked a series of questions. Merlin shook his head and replied very briefly:
"I have never been here, but the Mayans have been. I have seen relevant records in their classics. Starting from the winter solstice, the undercurrent will change in the opposite direction. Skull Island was also named after them."
"Mayans?"
Du Weiguo's eyebrows were stunned, and he was severely exposed to a blind spot in knowledge.
Maya, ancient and mysterious, is known as the fifth invisible civilization. This legendary race seems to have ruled the American continent and flourished for a while.
Later, the Mayans suddenly disappeared inexplicably, as if they disappeared overnight. The reason is still an unsolved mystery and there are different opinions.
Du Weiguo's knowledge of the Mayans is limited to the absurd prediction they made about the end of the world in 2012.
Merlin's eyes were deep and he nodded cryptically, his voice seemed very distant:
"Well, yes, the Mayans. I have lived for a long time and have been in their temples and read their classics."
"How long have you lived? How long?"
Du Weiguo's eyes sparkled, and his curiosity was instantly aroused by this topic!
He is just an illiterate. He doesn't care about the thousand-year-old mystery of why the Mayans disappeared. Does it have anything to do with him?
On the contrary, Merlin just mentioned that he had lived for a long time and even read their classics in the Mayan temple. The amount of information revealed here is too much!
Reading, this word must be emphasized, not discover, discover, find, but read!
This way of stating things, combined with Merlin's tone, made it seem like he was from the same era as the Mayans, as if he casually wandered into their temples to borrow classics.
You know, the Mayans have disappeared for hundreds of thousands of years. If they were the same generation, how long did Merlin live? Immortality?
Merlin has the ability to heal himself, which Du Weiguo knows very well. When he and Tie Xue fought, he was naked and couldn't hide his ability to heal himself.
But self-healing and immortality are two different things. This is immortality! The ultimate dream of mankind, the ultimate pursuit of countless emperors.
Thinking of this, Du Weiguo felt goosebumps all over his body and glanced at Merlin subconsciously.
Very strong, very young, and very stylish.
At this moment, the flames highlighted the chiseled outlines of Merlin's face, like a statue carved by a master.
He is about 185cm tall, with smooth skin and firm muscles. There is not even a trace of fat on his body. He looks about 30 to 40 years old.
The heart beats extremely slowly and powerfully, up to 20 times a minute. Well, other organs are also very healthy, and the intestines and stomach are moving crazily. Going down, the cost is not small~~
Du Weiguo, the grandson, unknowingly used his clairvoyant eyes to see Merlin inside and out.
Meilin seemed unaware of Du Weiguo's gaze. He lowered his head and remained silent, as if he was reminiscing or organizing his words. After a while, he raised his head again and said in a very calm voice:
"It's indeed a long time, it should be more than 400 years ago. I can't remember the details clearly."
"Hiss~"
Hearing his answer, even though Du Weiguo was mentally prepared, he was still dumbfounded by Lei and took a breath of cold air.
More than 400 years may not sound like much at first, but if you think about it carefully, it turns out that in China more than 400 years ago, the Ming Dynasty was still very prosperous, and most likely the Taoist emperor Jiajing, who was the most superstitious about immortality, still reigned.
Hell, the steam engine hadn't been invented at that time, and it was also the beginning of the great age of navigation. The Spaniards ruled the oceans.
Looking at Merlin, who was only a few years older than him, Du Weiguo, the always sharp-tongued king, was at a loss for words.
"You, you're not kidding~"
Merlin seemed to have gotten rid of his memories at this moment. He glanced at Du Weiguo with a profound look, curled up the corner of his mouth, and his tone became a bit joking:
"Wesley, I heard that you are from China. About 100 years ago, I once visited China with the Austrian mission.
The person in power in China at that time was an old and ugly woman, her name seemed to be Xi. I saw her in the palace in Sijiu City. "
Damn it!
Upon hearing this, Du Weiguo was shocked again. Merlin had actually met Cixi, a prodigal old woman.
The time, place, characters, and events all matched, and the possibility of Merlin lying was almost zero.
But among the foreigners, or those thousands of miles away in South America, who would be able to study eight poles when they have nothing to do, the prodigal old woman who listened behind the curtain more than a hundred years ago?
To be honest, the handsome old Hispanic guy in front of me is definitely from the same generation as Du Weiguo.
Du Weiguo's eyes were shaking and he looked at Merlin with a dry mouth. He didn't know what to say. No matter who it was, they would probably be at a loss when suddenly faced with an old monster who had lived for more than 400 years.
Merlin understood the look in his eyes, smiled bitterly, and said self-deprecatingly:
"Hey, Wesley, you don't have to be so surprised. What's the benefit of living a long time? It's useless. Look at me.
Not only was he unable to defeat you, but he was also tricked by Earl and trapped on this island, unable to protect even the people he cared about most. "
At the end of the sentence, Merlin's tone became obviously changed, with a hint of deep sadness. Combined with his deep eyes and sculpted face, it had a charming charm.
If Du Weiguo were a young girl who was new to the world, she might have been trapped in it immediately and couldn't extricate herself. Fortunately, he was not.
After all, after experiencing countless bloody battles and wading through the blood sea of corpses, Du Weiguo's current mind can be considered to be hardened and as solid as a rock.
He quickly calmed down and asked in a deep voice, "Can't you protect the person you care about most? Merlin, tell me your story."
"Huh~"
Merlin took a long breath, calmed down his emotions, and replied concisely:
"It's nothing to say. The woman I love most is separated from me. I have been looking for her for hundreds of years. Earl knows her whereabouts. This is also the weight he used to coerce me against you."
Du Weiguo immediately discovered the key point in this sentence and raised his eyebrows: "Hundreds of years? Your woman is immortal like you?"
Merlin nodded first, then shook his head:
"Yes, Anna Kasuri has the same physique as mine and is an immortal. However, we are not immortal. We will also age and die, but it is just a little slower than ordinary people."
"Damn, slow down a little bit? You've lived for more than 400 years now, and you don't look old at all. Damn, top Versailles, how can you pretend~"
Du Weiguo secretly slandered in his heart, but his face didn't reveal anything, and he naturally changed the topic:
"If Earl knew her whereabouts, why did you kill him?"
Merlin said calmly:
"Earl is an ambitious lunatic. He wants to use me against you. He covets my immortality and later wants to use them."
Merlin also pointed to the top of his head, and Du Weiguo suddenly understood that this was indeed Earl's style, and he would do whatever it took to achieve his goals.
Du Weiguo flicked the butt of his cigar into the fire:
"So, you killed him after you found out his secret? But Earl is very cunning, what if he told lies?"
Merlin's eyes fluctuated slightly, and his tone was deep:
"No way, I have no choice."
"No choice?"
Du Weiguo was stunned for a moment, not fully understanding what he meant. Merlin rolled his eyes at him angrily:
"Wesley, you are the most powerful person among humans. I am no match for you. If I want to kill you, I can only follow Earl's suggestions and use them~"
Mei Lin didn't finish what he said, but Du Weiguo still understood, and a long-lost touch suddenly arose in his heart, and his blood was stirring, and I knew that I was not alone.
In fact, the reason is very simple. Merlin is unwilling to join forces with Earl and use Iron Blood to design against Du Weiguo.
As one of the few strong men among humans, Merlin is unwilling to kill his own kind for his own selfish desires. He would rather face the Iron Blood alone, or even die generously.
In the face of great right and wrong, Merlin firmly held the bottom line, and it was easy to hand over!
As for killing innocent people indiscriminately, hey, did Du Weiguo kill too few people? Are the tens of thousands of soldiers under Su Atuo all worthy of death?
Du Weiguo was silent for a while, and then spoke after calming down:
"Merlin, aren't you afraid that I am a treacherous person, or that I will turn against you?"
"cut!"
Merlin sneered and rolled his eyes at him arrogantly:
“Although that lunatic Earl is arrogant, he has a really good vision in choosing his opponents and his methods are quite clever.
The reason why he was able to lure you to this island is simply because he caught your fatal weakness, and people with this kind of weakness are usually not too bad. "
What is Du Weiguo's weakness? It goes without saying that of course there are people he cares about in his heart, those confidantes who know the deep and shallow.
"oh?"
Du Weiguo raised a smile and asked knowingly: "Merlin, what is my fatal weakness?"
Merlin didn't fall for it. He was too lazy to praise him and urged impatiently:
"Okay, Wesley, stop talking nonsense, the water is boiling, let's put the meat in quickly!"
At this moment, the aluminum cauldron on the fire was just about to boil. The steam was rising and making a gurgling sound, and Merlin's stomach was also gurgling.
Du Weiguo smiled and took out a few boxes of canned beef, crushed them and poured them into the kettle. Then he grabbed a handful of evil pills and threw them in one after another.
The alluring aroma instantly filled the entire cave, suppressing even the pungent stench. Merlin's stomach rumbled even louder, like a drum.
Du Weiguo ushered in the fourth morning on Skull Island. Thousands of miles away, Hong Kong Island was shrouded in night and dark.
Kowloon District, Yau Ma Tei, the bustling Bolan Street.
At this moment, a man and a woman were walking side by side on the road. The man was tall and straight, graceful, and the woman was even more stunning, with a graceful and swaying figure.
Their clothes are extremely simple, even a little down and dirty, but their temperament is outstanding and people dare not look down upon them.
The woman's figure is particularly hot, attracting countless men to stop and look at her with side eyes, their eyes bloodshot, and their saliva flowing all over the floor.
This man and woman are Hu Tiesian and Hu Taodai, brothers and sisters of the Hu family who have traveled across the ocean.
"I said, Lao Wu, we have been walking around on the road all day. I am so hungry that my chest is pressed to my back and I have no energy at all. Do you want to know where the person named Du lives? ?”
At this moment, I happened to pass by a barbecue shop and saw the maroon roast goose in the window. Hu Laosan immediately couldn't walk, his eyes went straight, he swallowed, rubbed his stomach and complained.
Kumoyo gave him a hard look and scolded him angrily:
"Hu Laosan, why are you so worthless? You know how to eat all day long!"
Hu Sanyi jumped three feet high and shouted to Tianqu:
"What? Lao Wu, you have to speak with your conscience! First we swam in the sea like bastards for a whole night, and then wandered around the streets stupidly for a day. Auntie, we haven't touched our teeth all day and night! It's ironclad. Even the people can’t bear it!”
Hu San's expression was always aggrieved and full of resentment:
"Lao Wu, you were in Lushan before. You promised me that you would take me to Huahua World to eat delicious food and drink spicy food. Then you tricked me out. What's the result? You don't have any penis on your body, so you just stand on the road with the northwest wind?"
Hu San was frothing at the mouth and complaining. Hu Tao frowned and was about to speak.
At this moment, the boy from the barbecue shop just happened to greet them from inside with a wink. He did not look down on the two because of their poor clothes. Instead, he smiled and asked politely:
"Sir, Madam, do you two want to buy barbecue? Our Liaoji barbecue is a time-honored brand that has been around for decades. The ingredients used are solid and fresh, and the taste is incredible~~"
While talking, the boy cleverly opened the small display window, and an alluring fragrance immediately floated out in the wind and penetrated directly into the Tianling Cap.
"Fuck me!"
Hu San instantly took a breath of air, his throat rolled wildly, and he swallowed uncontrollably.
The next second, an imperceptible dark red light suddenly flashed in his eyes. The boy's eyes immediately became glazed over, and he mechanically and numbly stretched out his hand towards the roasted goose in the window.
At this moment, the boy's eyes suddenly became clear again. He stopped moving in confusion, shook his head, and then scratched his head in confusion.
The smile on Hu San's lips suddenly froze, and a cold voice that only he could hear sounded in his ears:
"Hu Laosan, I've already said, don't make any noise when you're on Hong Kong Island, or I'll beat you to death."
Hu San's face immediately fell, as if he were mourning for his heir. Kumoyo didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned his head and showed a gentle smile to the young man, and his tone was very soft:
"Brother, we are just passing by here. We don't sell barbecue. I want to ask you if you recognize him~~"
"Ha! What a pretty Beigu! These pair of hats are bigger than car lights. What, you want to eat meat? Tell Brother Hua, I'll treat you to all you can eat. As long as you know how to behave, you can eat shark fins~ "
A harsh sound like a broken gong suddenly sounded, and then, a greasy fat man wearing a floral shirt with his arms open walked over with a duck's step. (End of chapter)
