Faced with a possible crisis, Zhang Ming held a family meeting, in which a total of four members participated.
"Dear partners, our current combat plan is as follows."
"If we encounter natural disasters such as super storms, super tsunamis, and space-time turbulence that we simply cannot survive, we can only use the shelter function of the source of the world to shelter our wooden boats."
"We can't save this little time for protection."
"If we encounter a supernatural disaster targeting life, we will be a little more economical and use a simplified version of the shelter function, which is Brother Hao's different space ability."
"This ship is not a living thing. If it stays on the rocks, it will not be attacked by spiritual disasters."
"So, Brother Hao, you have a heavy responsibility next." Zhang Ming patted the dog's head.
Brother Hao could only understand sporadic human words, with his pink tongue hanging out and half of his tail wagging. Anyway, it can't possibly have any objections.
"Everyone, do you have anything else to add?"
"Woof woof!"
"Aww!"
Shimama: "Ga (just imitating the call of a pelican)!"
Xiaobai cried out, blinked his eyes in anticipation, and made a request: "Ah!"
(Is it possible to play computer games in a different space?)
"No!" Zhang Ming glared and said righteously: "If you are bored, you can do math problems."
"How about we get a little more intense and take a math test?"
Xiaobai felt a little shocked, and looked at Zhang Ming with a pair of watery eyes, "Ah wu ah wu" begging, no exam, no exam, no exam!
Please be spicy. Please be spicy!
…
…
Before the big crisis happened, Zhang Ming harvested all the vegetables he could from the vegetable garden in advance.
Those that cannot be collected will be moved to the room.
When the sailboat was originally designed, many plants were planted in flower pots to avoid natural disasters, making them easy to transport.
As for the diesel generator and other parts, they are also protected with wood and plastic sheets.
After doing this, Zhang Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
There was nothing to do anyway, so he simply went back to the bedroom and slept to replenish his energy.
…
Time passes day by day.
The faint and frightening feeling of badness was growing day by day, and finally reached its peak on the third day after the Pelican left.
Disaster has struck!
This is a peaceful full-moon night. The eternal moon hangs high in the sky like a white jade plate. There are few clouds. Even the waves are quiet. The huge ocean is like a calm mirror.
In total, it was exactly one month since they met the Azure Man's tower.
Zhang Ming, who was restless, grabbed Xiaobai and Shimama, and asked Brother Hao to directly activate the "different space" ability.
Although the stinky stone repeated Sister Pelican's famous saying, "Do what you do throughout your life, and you are no weaker than others", he still chose to stick to the dog's butt honestly.
"Brother Hao, open the different space!"
A layer of faint ripples appeared around Gouzi, protecting the small team of four.
Looking at the world from the inside out, it is like a layer of transparent soap bubbles, and the light is slightly distorted.
The alien space is actually only 1 meter in diameter. With Brother Hao's current strength, he can probably last for 1-2 days.
Under the protection, the frightening sixth sense disappeared. Zhang Ming sat on the ground and played chess with Xiaobai out of boredom.
"What exactly is this inexplicable crisis..."
Two stinky chess baskets are playing chess, and the more they play, the more stinky they become.
Gradually, Zhang Ming was at a disadvantage, and sweat oozed from his forehead.
"Xiao Bai's chess skills have improved in the past few weeks!"
Suddenly, the peaceful outside world turned into blood red!
It was as if there was a cold, dead red light that suddenly swept down from the sky. Time accelerated at this moment. Mottled mold grew on the wood that had just been cleaned. Some metal decks even began to rust quickly, giving off an odor. An obscure and cold smell.
Then in the next moment, all these molds died, causing the wood to appear to be covered with a layer of gray dust.
"Aww!" Xiaobai, who was playing chess, couldn't help but look at the sky and wailed.
(I just cleaned the boat!!)
As the head of the logistics department on the sailing ship, it had to clean with the dog every day. As a result, the big ship was suddenly coated with a layer of shit-like stuff, and its heart and liver trembled violently. The whole turtle was not good in the summer. , tears almost flowed out.
Lao Zhang smiled "hehe" and took the opportunity to shake the chessboard, and the pieces suddenly became a mess.
He also looked to the sky.
I saw a scarlet moon appearing due east!
There seemed to be something crawling slowly in the red moon, looking like a large silkworm chrysalis.
At first, just move once or twice a minute.
But as time went by, the speed of its struggling and squirming became faster and faster. After half an hour, it reached the level of hundreds or thousands of times per second, as if it could read the words it brought in the air. Cold murderous intent.
The red light on the sea surface became stronger and stronger, and a large number of seaweed and marine life died under the red light.
However, the small team of four in the different space did not suffer any damage.
On the one hand, they were hiding under the eaves, without direct exposure to the moonlight; on the other hand, it was difficult for even the devil to discover the magical ability of "different space" - not to mention that this red moon was not specifically looking for them.
Zhang Ming secretly groaned in his heart, wouldn't this demon escape from its trap tonight and sweep away thousands of kilometers of life?
"This is too unlucky. I will never be the bad guy. I will bring crises wherever I go."
Under the penetration of moonlight, more and more dead creatures were found in the sea, and soon a thick layer of corpses of aquatic creatures floated on the sea surface.
This crazy scene lasted about an hour.
After reaching the point, the red moon suddenly disappeared, leaving only a full moon blooming with bright light... It was as if the hour just now had never happened.
"Aren't you out of trouble..."
Zhang Ming frowned. To be on the safe side, they hid in a different space for a night.
The sun rose again, shining warmly on people's faces. After leaving the different space, Zhang Ming smelled the fishy and rotten smell on the sea. Due to the death of a large number of microorganisms, the sea water had deteriorated somewhat.
He couldn't help but fan his nose and couldn't wait to check his wooden boat.
The area illuminated by the red moonlight seemed to have suddenly decayed for several years, and was covered with a layer of fly ash composed of sawdust.
Fortunately, the wood he chose is tough and corrosion-resistant, so it won't be a big problem if it ages for a few years.
"Insect of time and space...an ability related to time..."
As for this sea area, there are fewer living creatures. Except for some microorganisms buried in the mud or that divide extremely quickly, there are few survivors.
Zhang Ming finally understood why the killer whales were reluctant to get closer. It turned out that there was such a great terror hidden inside.
"It's outrageous." He felt a little heavy. If he did this every once in a while, who could bear it?
If the Space Insect really had a chance of escaping, he, Lao Zhang, would have no choice but to give up this great piece of garbage and escape earlier.
"That's not right either..."
"When we first came to this sea area, there were still some shrimps, sea cucumbers, and shells, but the density was not high."
"It means that the demon's rage has a certain cycle. Creatures that are higher than this reproductive cycle will not be able to survive here."
Shimama suddenly said a spiritual language: "%￥&..."
(Period, probably one year.)
(It seems to want to use the natural moon to escape.)
Zhang Ming raised his head and looked at the sky. No matter how powerful the red moon in the sky was, its influence was limited.
With so many strong hands, it is impossible for it to affect the entire Sea of Demon Gods.
Therefore, the red moon last night was not the real moon.
"What you mean is..."
Shimama: (The real moon has its own inherent trajectory. When the moon's trajectory coincides with the red moon's space, the red moon will use the power of nature to find a way to get out of trouble.)
Zhang Ming nodded. Yesterday's moon height and orientation were almost the same as the red moon fixed on the "Pillar of the Sky."
"According to this reasoning, there is actually only one chance a year?"
"If it doesn't get out of trouble this time, it can only wait for the next year. Alas, the tower is slowly decaying. No matter how powerful the azure man is, it will still be wiped out by time, but will the devil die? An unknown quantity.”
Shimama: "...&)&"
(It may take more than a year, or several years, before it has a chance to escape from its troubles with the help of natural celestial phenomena.)
(Also, it may not be fully awake yet.)
"Is the strength it displays not as strong as Xuanwu?" Zhang Ming asked curiously, "Is it just an instinctive reaction last night?"
Shimama:......
Can you please stop belittling Xuanwu? ! To belittle Xuanwu is to belittle me, Emperor Shi!
Zhang Ming felt a little relieved, which meant that he would be safe for at least the next entire lunar year.
A large amount of sea water was used to wash away the mottled mold on the boat, and then it was carefully wiped with a bird feather duster. It took one person, one turtle and one dog a long time to get the wooden boat clean again.
At this time, the sound of "quacking" sounded, and the bird Mama knew that the crisis had been resolved and flew back again.
It also had a few big fish caught from afar in its mouth. It ate one and threw the rest on the deck.
Although Zhang Ming was teasing on the surface, he didn't look down on the pelican in his heart. After all, it was too big to hide in a different space. Flying away was the best option to avoid the crisis.
After cleaning the ship and recuperating for such a long time, Zhang Ming pressed the diamond-shaped gem on the ancient token again.
Not long after, the awning boat arrived again. It seemed to be even more outdated, and it made a "creak" sound when stepping on the wood.
"Crash."
The awning boat still faithfully completed what it should do and sent Zhang Ming to the tower.
It's still the same door, still the same large reception room.
Zhang Ming took a deep breath and pressed the diamond-shaped gem on the table. The screen next to him burst into light, and something like a computer interface appeared, with a dialog box and a button. This is equivalent to the information system developed by the blue crystal people through the "last wish".
He swallowed and entered a string of numbers.
verification failed.
Enter the second number string...
verification failed.
The third number string...
Verification successful!
The screen interface was opened. It looked like a very simple operating system. It was only used for data organization and permission control. It was not comparable to a human computer and could not be programmed.
This is also the limitation of the "last wish". Once the "last wish" is formed, it is extremely difficult to modify its functions. Even the blue crystal people themselves cannot figure out the reasons for the occurrence of supernatural phenomena.
Human computer programs can be programmed by both humans and ghosts, adding another layer of freshness to the mountain of code.
"Shimama, you have rested for so long, can you look back on history?"
"How should I gain greater authority? Enter the tower?"
Shimama fiddled with this spar computer for a while, and after reading the documents, she vaguely discovered something.
After a long time, it reread a certain historical scene from the past.
The mysterious spiritual language illusion slowly appeared in Zhang Ming's mind, unfolding like a movie.
…
"Hello, foreigners. I am the host here, Chalang."
"Our Blue Crystal Civilization has a broad enough mind to accept the homeless people in the Sea of Demon Gods. The premise is that you need to make your own contribution." The black-clothed staff member named Chalang was talking to several tall people. Talking in front of the aliens.
"There are many ways to contribute. The first is to dedicate the lifespan of your tribe. As you know, we are fighting against a demon. We need the lifespan of more strong people as energy to fight against the demon."
"Attention, he is the strong one."
"The higher the combat ability, the higher the value of life."
"Of course, we don't recommend this approach. Everyone's lifespan is precious. You foreigners can't make a last wish after your death... But if you only have lifespan and nothing else, you can In exchange for meritorious service."
"What's the use of merit here?" A strange man wearing strange clothes asked nervously.
He also spoke an inexplicable native language, but in this spiritual language illusion, he could understand it.
Chalang said: "The first and most important thing is protection. Our clan allows you to come to our clan's world to get shelter, provided that you have enough merit."
"The second is trading. Whether it is food, daily necessities, or other things, everything can be traded, including knowledge. As long as your race has enough merit, we will not hesitate to sell you anything you want, including The foundation of our clan's destiny - 'Vajra'."
The receptionist named Cha Lang smiled and spread his hands, and a layer of dim golden light bloomed on the surface of his skin: "Some people call this ability the Immortal Golden Body, and some people call it the Golden Light Technique, but we still like to call it It’s called King Kong.”
