The exams are over and the long-awaited winter vacation is finally here. From now until March 4th, the school will no longer have any classes scheduled.
Most students left school one after another, and many people left on the first day after the exam. Zhang Heng and his dormitory roommate Wei Jiangyang were the first to leave. He and his girlfriend Han Xiaoxiao planned to go to Qingdao for a tour before going home. , and Chen Huadong was the second to leave. He left very gracefully and took nothing with him. He just put the two precious hard drives filled with animations in his pockets.
Ma Wei planned to make some money before the Chinese New Year. His ticket was booked as late as the night before the New Year's Eve. During the following period, he took on four tutors at once and finished the exam. After only one night of rest after the test, I spread out my high school physics and chemistry exercise books again.
The other three people in the dormitory actually admired Ma Wei. From the first day he entered school, he never concealed the situation at home, nor did he use it as an excuse to take advantage of others. Instead, he always tried his best. While silently sharing the burden for the family, Zhang Heng asked himself that in Ma Wei's position, it would be difficult to do better than him.
He patted Ma Wei on the shoulder. Zhang Heng bought his own ticket for next week, but he still had one thing to do before leaving.
23:37 Zhang Heng opened the door to the lounge on the second floor of the bar.
He said hello to the bartender at the bar and walked to an empty booth. He set the alarm clock under the seat to 23:55. Zhang Heng closed his eyes and started a new journey.

Zhang Heng was still thinking about where New Providence was in the background of the mission. The next moment, he heard a loud bang in his ears. He opened his eyes and found that there was a big hole in the cabin partition on his left. A solid iron cannonball smashed through the bedside table and rolled to the floor.
This was the first time Zhang Heng encountered such an exciting opening. Even in the Soviet-Finnish War, he had a short safety period after entering the dungeon to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment, but this round of the game gave him a meeting gift directly.
But what's worse is that this is just the beginning. Zhang Heng then heard the roar of artillery and the chaotic footsteps coming from the corridor outside the door.
He looked around him as fast as he could. Zhang Heng had a certain hunch when he heard the word pirate before. After scanning the cabin, he could finally confirm that he had once again encountered a copy of non-modern society.
Whether it is the furnishings in the cabin or the clothes on his body, they all look very classical. They look like ancient European styles, but I don’t know the specific time.
The history of piracy can be traced back to the Lucans in the 14th century BC. The ancient Egyptians recorded their attacks on Cyprus. Later, the Vikings from the 8th to 11th centuries AD were also famous. Their number was not large. , but they were extremely brave in combat and fearless of death. Later, some game companies used them as prototypes to create the berserker profession. In addition, China's Fujian and Guangdong areas were also troubled by Japanese pirates in the 17th century.
However, the golden age of piracy was from the late Renaissance to the early Enlightenment. With the opening of new shipping routes, the expansion of colonies, and the continued warming of maritime trade, pirates also ushered in their glory. They can be seen on every trade road, and powerful pirates will fight with government troops and even attack colonial points.
However, as the strength of the navies of various countries grew, pirates gradually withdrew from the stage of history. Now there are probably only some small fish and shrimps that are not popular in places like Somalia.
After briefly reviewing the history of pirates, Zhang Heng did not stay in the cabin any longer. It could be judged from the direction of the cannonballs that he was currently on the fighting side.
Therefore, the top priority is to leave the danger zone first, lest a second shell comes flying, and then he may not have such good luck.
Zhang Heng hurriedly pushed open the hatch and bumped into a sailor dragging ammunition. The latter got up from the ground. He was not old and looked like just a child. His somewhat immature face was full of words at the moment. of fear.
Regardless of what he said, he got up and ran to the deck with the box of shells.
However, the next moment a cannonball flew out of an open door and hit him in the chest. Zhang Heng ran over immediately, but the young sailor's chest completely sunk in. It was obviously impossible. Survive.
When he was dying, he held Zhang Heng's hand, his eyes full of his last nostalgia for the world.
Zhang Heng had experienced the Soviet-Finnish war, so he was no stranger to such things. He knew that there was not much he could do now. He could only keep repeating in the former's ears that your injury doesn't matter, you will get better soon.
But within half a minute the young sailor stopped breathing.
Zhang Heng was silent, stretched out his hand and closed the other person's eyes, then dragged the box of shells to the ship's ladder.
He wanted to know what was going on outside.
And just at this time, a face peeked out from above.
It was a man about forty or fifty years old, with bronze skin. At first glance, he looked like a man who had been making a living on the sea all year round. He was stunned when he saw Zhang Heng, and then said angrily, "Didn't I tell you already?" The armed forces on the ship are insufficient and there is no manpower available to protect you, so can’t you just stay in the cabin?!”
Zhang Heng was relieved to hear that the other party spoke English. What he was most worried about was that he was on a Spanish or Portuguese ship, where he would be unable to communicate and the situation would become even more chaotic.
Zhang Heng turned sideways, revealing the box of ammunition at the back and the body of the young sailor not far away, and said, "Unfortunately, your man was shot. I came to see if I can help."
The old sailor above was a little surprised when he heard this, but now was not the time for chatting. The cannons on the ship were almost out of shells. He waved and urged, "Quick, give me the ammunition first."
Taking this opportunity, Zhang Heng also came to the deck. Everywhere he looked was a mess, with broken and damaged shipboards everywhere, and several corpses crawling on the ground. On his left hand side, A three-masted sailing ship with black sails.
