Whether it was the young and energetic young men who came to the foreign world to chase their dreams or the mature and steady middle-aged men who wanted to develop their career, the guests waiting for the ship on the beach looked much better than those who left the island yesterday as though they were fleeing. However, they were still a little depressed and gloomy.
The more uneasy and irritated they were, the slower time passed. The noisy broadcast sound of "Dear distinguished ladies and gentlemen … There will be strict security checks in the New York Harbor …" in their ears also became more and more annoying.
Finally, a young man who was about two meters tall with a rash look and carrying a huge mountain bag nearly one meter high on his back suddenly grabbed his blond hair that was less than an inch long and shouted, "Hey, soldier! Are you guys a DJ in a nightclub? Hurry up and shut up that annoying horn on your body!"
The sergeants looked at the direction of the roar with a blank expression. The leading sergeant shrugged and said, "I'm sorry, young man. Walking on the beach with this horn on our body is one of the jobs we have to do every day on this island. If we turn it off, we'll be unemployed just like you."
This sentence was originally meant as a joke, but it was interpreted by the tall young man as a ridicule to a loser like him.
In an instant, an inexplicable anger overwhelmed his reason. He strode out of the crowd in the queue and straightened his neck to go up to the sergeant. Pointing at him, he said, "Hey, soldier! What did you say? Don't think that I'll be afraid just because you're a soldier! Be careful, or else I'll smash your nose flat!"
"I said, 'Walking on the beach with this horn on our body is one of the jobs we have to do every day on this island.'" In the face of the furious threat of the tall and strong blonde young man who was much taller than him, the sergeant was stunned at first. Then, his expression changed as he lowered his voice coldly. "And our other job is to ensure the safety of this gathering place.
The night before yesterday, we had a whole company of 130 people, but only 97 of them survived with their limbs intact.
Right now, I don't know whether I should blow your head off and go to the military court when you're smashing my nose flat or continue to serve on this damn island for another two years.
Or should I continue serving on this godforsaken island for another two years? Maybe you can give me an answer. "
Under the mocking gazes of the other soldiers around him, the rash young man slowly calmed down. He realized that he was not facing those cowardly commoners, but a true soldier who had been on the battlefield, or rather, a professional soldier who had always stayed on the battlefield.
The blonde young man's face alternated between red and white. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly spread his hands. "I apologize, Staff Sergeant. I didn't really mean to attack you. It's just that …"
"There's no need to explain. Go and line up, young man. The boat is here. Remember, no one is feeling good at this time, so don't expect others to accommodate you.
Finally, I wish you a happy Christmas in advance.
I really envy you being able to go home.
My daughter is already one year old, but I haven't seen her yet. I really hope that one day, I can see her opening my presents under the Christmas tree with my own eyes. " The Staff Sergeant, who felt that he had already given enough lessons, patted the blonde young man's shoulder and smiled amidst the whistling sound of the cruise ship that was slowly approaching in the sea.
Looking at the stiff and cold face of the professional soldier whose face was tanned and haggard but still had a firm expression, the strong and tall young man's heart clenched abruptly. The emotions that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly went out of control. "I-I don't have any family to accompany me for Christmas anymore.
My brother and father are just here, in the backpack on my back … Oh my God!
Oh, my God, my God, why did you bring us to this accursed island, why-- "
The young man's howl resonated and slowly echoed on the beach of the supernatural realm. Not long after, many low sobs resonated from the boarding team to cater to him.
It looked like the terrible nightmare that happened on the night of the spiritual monster's birth two days ago was still lingering in people's hearts.
The fickleness and fragility of human emotions were fully displayed in front of the wizards. Looking around, Zhang Lisheng sighed softly with a blank expression and shifted his gaze to the cruise ship that was about to dock under the escort of the battleship.
At this time, he could clearly see 300 to 400 people leaning on the ship's side on the deck of the cruise ship, looking at the human gathering place on Shrimp B1 Island excitedly and the crowd on the beach who looked as though they had just lost their parents.
Upon closer observation, he could see that most of these people were young men and women in their teens or twenties. The one thing they had in common was that they all had a fearless gaze that seemed to be daring enough to take risks with a hint of provocation.
In fact, it was not difficult to imagine this. Those who dared to have the courage to insist on coming to this supernatural realm's island to take a look when the residents of Shrimp B1 Island who had already returned had already posted a massive number of terrifying experience posts on the Internet. They must have a strong love for adventure.
Other than these fearless people who deliberately came to look for excitement, the remaining passengers on the ship were some news reporters. After the ship entered the berth, they began to use the long-lens and wide-angle cannon-like cameras hanging on their chests to continuously press the shutter shutter with a series of "click, click, click, click …" sounds.
A few people who lacked public morality even stealthily glanced at the crying crowd below the ship with their cameras and snapped a few pictures of the sad scene that could touch the hearts of the people.
"To think that they still haven't given up on transporting these reckless people to the supernatural realm at this time. This US government is really tenacious …" The ship docked and entered the berth. Looking at the young people who were high-fiving each other and the reporters who were looking around after getting off the ship, Zhang Lisheng curled his lips and queued up to board the ship. Braving the wind and waves, he returned to the civilized world.
It had been nearly three months since he left New York. When he left, it was still a slightly hot early autumn but when he returned, it was already the chilly midwinter season.
Walking through the heavily inspected ferry exit, Zhang Lisheng breathed in the cold air and walked out of the new New York port with many of his traveling companions who saw the huge billboards hanging high above the port and sensed the aura of the civilized world.
After stopping a taxi at the square that had just been built outside the port, he quickly rushed to the new LS slaughterhouse that was built next to the new port.
On the second floor of the standalone office building exclusively used in the factory, Zhang Lisheng faced the vast Atlantic Ocean and commanded the wizard gu that he had thrown into the sea after the cruise had just passed through the supernatural realm's channel with his mind. His illusory body swam into the trench under the factory that was filled with blood and animal guts. Then, he commanded the wyrmdragon and the lizard to shrink their bodies before leaping up to him.
The time for him to make a breakthrough to Rank-7 Wizard and transform the second wizard gu was already right in front of him. If he chose the wyrmdragon, Zhang Lisheng would be able to obtain the ability to ride the clouds and absorb the clouds that he had always dreamed of. By then, he would have the possibility to explore the entire Hellfire Archipelago and even the Shrimp World No. 2 independently.
If he chose the nine-tailed lizard, he would have the magical ability to hide his body and turn invisible. This would undoubtedly allow him to be as carefree as a fish in water on the Shrimp B1 Island that was covered with dense jungles.
"Wyrmdragon, nine-tailed lizard …" As Zhang Lisheng pondered over it, he looked at the two transformed wizard gus and was hesitating in his heart. All of a sudden, someone knocked on the door gently. "Lisheng, I've brought you some fresh steaks. Can I come in?"
"Oh, Maddy, please come in." The young man was stunned. He walked up to the desk and threw the two wizard gus that had shrunk to less than 20 centimeters that looked like a strange sculpture on the table.
Turning around, he looked at the beautiful girl who was wearing a tight black suit that showed off her voluptuous figure while holding a tray full of fat steaks in her hand as she walked into the office. With a smile, he said, "You're so smart! You actually know that I'm still hungry.
Is it steak? That's great! You can't imagine how many strange things I've eaten these past few days. I've even forgotten what beef tastes like. "
"In that case, I'll let you remember right away. This is the Wagyu sirloin steak imported from Japan. You can eat it just by frying it in a pot. You can take a shower and change your clothes first. You can enjoy the food right away when you come out." Maddy strenuously carried the large steak to the small open kitchen next to the refrigerator at the corner of the office and began to prepare the steaks.
"This is a good suggestion, Maddy. Oh yeah, help me search for the most successful sailing or human-driven wooden fishing boats in history on the Internet later. I want a detailed manufacturing drawing. If there's none on the Internet, tell Edward. He must have a way to find these materials.
Go and reserve two tons of the best quality plain sailcloth for me first. Don't deliver it yet, "Zhang Lisheng said and walked into the bathroom.
The bathroom was spacious and luxuriously decorated. After filling up the bathtub with hot water, he took off his clothes and jumped into the expensive bathtub that had an automatic massage system and an ocean current simulation system. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the bath for a while. Suddenly, he heard the sound of the door lock opening.
Shocked, Zhang Lisheng opened his eyes and saw Maddie walking in with a plate of sliced steak and a can of iced Coke while pretending to be calm. "Lisheng, I saw that you've been bathing for too long, so I brought your food in. I even opened a can of Coke." She placed the steak and Coke on the floor beside the bathtub.
"Oh, oh, thank, thank you, Maddy …
Can you please go out first … "Lying in the bathtub, Zhang Lisheng looked up at the voluptuous and beautiful girl in astonishment and said incoherently.
At this time, Maddy, who had planned this beforehand, had already calmed down. Without warning, the girl walked into the bathtub despite her drenched suit and kneeled down. Placing one of her hands directly on Zhang Lisheng's most vital part, she asked while biting her lips amidst the rising steam, "Why did you ask me to leave?
Don't you have a powerful and unpredictable mysterious power? If you don't like me, you can just chase me away directly. Or could it be that you actually like me like this but you don't dare to ask for it because you're afraid that Tina would be angry? "
