There is a steep slope up from the path, and there are only weeds and scattered wooden houses among the jagged rocks. Busy people climbing on the roof can be seen everywhere. It is close to the sea, and the water vapor is hard to dissipate all year round. Swaying with the wind on the rope.

It looked bleak, but it was the best efforts of the surviving humans.

But a few years ago, people were afraid to pitch a tent.Landslides and landslides always come without warning, and the old-age high-tech left behind can't do anything about it. The only thing the survivors can do is to tie life-saving items to their bodies and wait to escape all the time. The frightened bird is in constant panic.

It takes hundreds or thousands of years to establish a civilization, but it only takes an instant to destroy it.When two-thirds of the continent fell apart and sank into the deep sea, magma and sand roared to fight for the remaining land, the so-called overlord of the earth could only resign himself to fate like ants.

Ants can't fight against nature, but they want to survive in the only space left, what should we do?The only option seemed to be to fight each other.

Standing in front of his house with only a pile of rotten wood left, Gu Baiqing looked indifferent.

Oh shit!Is it easy to build a wooden house?If you don't have enough to eat, you can plunder everywhere. If you rob, you can rob, even the house is demolished!There are only three or five days to rest each time he returns to the voyage, and he has to set aside one day to start from scratch!

Standing behind Gu Baiqing, Zhang Zili covered his mouth and sniggered, gloating at his misfortune, when the petrified man suddenly turned around in front of him, so frightened that he quickly put down his arms and stood at attention.

"Are you still there?" Gu Baiqing raised his eyebrows.

"My mother said she missed you." Zhang Zili said hurriedly.

"Oh, think about it, I don't mind."

"You," Zhang Zili was almost driven crazy. He searched for him for so many days and found nothing. Now that he finally saw someone, he was scared and lost his necklace. He is still going around in circles and refuses to answer. !Zhang Zili wanted to drag the person back with his hands, but he really didn't dare, so he could only try to impress the other person with emotion, "Brother, Mom said she didn't have much time to live, I just hope I can see you at the end, and you will see me soon." her."

"Huh? Dying soon?"

"Mom is sick." Zhang Zili's face turned pale and angry.

"That means you won't be able to die for a while?" Gu Baiqing didn't care about being glared at by the other party. Gu Baiqing smiled and kicked the pile of rotten wood under his feet. help?"

"How can you do this? My father is your uncle, we are a family, do you still have humanity?" Zhang Zili couldn't bear it any longer because of successive failures.

"Human nature?" Gu Baiqing turned cold, stepped forward suddenly, and grabbed his neck, "People from the Zhang family are worthy of talking about human nature with me?"

"Brother, brother, I can't breathe, brother!"

Zhang Zili was lifted off the ground with his feet, and tried in vain to push Gu Baiqing's hand away, but he couldn't shake it for a moment. His eyes were bloodshot due to lack of oxygen, and he begged for mercy: "Brother, I am Zili, I am It's your brother, brother..."

"Get out." Gu Baiqing threw him aside in annoyance, and then wiped his hands on his pants, as if he had touched something dirty.

The clear air rushed into his mouth and nose instantly, making Zhang Zili cough continuously, with tears and snot streaming down his nose.Gu Baiqing really wanted to kill him!The scorching pain in his throat made Zhang Zili terrified, and he got up and ran without caring about his hands and feet.

Watching the stumbling figure go away, Gu Baiqing sneered: "Trash."

"Have you seen enough?"

"Hey." Fang Zhou came out from behind the rock with a smirk, "I'm just passing by, passing by."

Gu Baiqing walked past him, squatted on the ground and began to pick and choose, pulling out a few hemp ropes from a pile of rotten wood from time to time.

Fang Zhou, who was left on the sidelines, touched his nose, and couldn't help but said, "I thought you were really going to strangle him, but I was thinking of how to throw away the body for you." Regarding the matter of Gu Baiqing's family, Fang Zhou also learned from his mother. Occasionally heard a few words there, every time she mentioned the Zhang family, she would gnash her teeth, and most often scolded the wolf-hearted and white-eyed wolf, saying that they were sorry for Gu Baiqing, but Gu Baiqing never took the initiative to mention it, and occasionally The Zhang family didn't shy away from encountering each other, but their attitude was a little cold, as if they were just a group of strangers and had nothing to do with hatred.

Just now, Gu Baiqing directly attacked him, which really scared him.

"I can't bear to strangle him to death." Gu Baiqing lowered his head and was busy, with a steady voice, "I can feel at ease watching them live."

Ark's scalp tightened for no reason.

"You have something to do with me?"

Gu Baiqing resumed his chatting tone, let Fang Zhou relax, squatted down, and said with a flattering smile: "Brother Bai, you said you took me away this time."

Gu Baiqing paused, slapped his forehead, and acted like he had suddenly realized: "There is such a thing."

"Really take me there?" Fang Zhou shouted excitedly, "Brother, when shall we set off? With whose ship? Should I make preparations in advance?"

"Just prepare a compass." Standing up with a ball of hemp rope in his hands, Gu Baiqing stretched himself, "Does your mother know about this?"

"It was my mother who asked you last time, did you forget? She heard that you were back, so she packed all her luggage overnight, and I can leave at any time."

"Luggage?" Gu Baiqing raised his eyebrows, "What did you pack? Tell me."

"It's just some clothes and shoes, and vegetable cakes..." Seeing a little nervous, Fang Zhou swallowed his saliva, and his voice became smaller and smaller, "Did you take the wrong things?"

Ark is eighteen this year, right?Gu Baiqing looked down at Fang Zhou, who was still squatting on the ground, with a dazed expression.If it was six years ago, the youth at this age would be in high spirits, but in the end of the world, he would already be exhausted from hard work, squatting in a small ball with his malnourished body all the year round, and his face that had not yet grown out was still full of scars. She is immature, but she has habitually shown a look of caution and panic.

The first time I saw Ark was already after the end of the world. At the time of the most turbulent times, the little child huddled behind his mother, carrying a backpack on his thin shoulders, always guarding everything with round eyes, His face was gloomy and frightened. At that time, Fang Zhou was frightened and refused to speak, which made his mother feel even more bitter in the ordeal.Maybe it's because the natural disasters are gradually subsiding, maybe it's because they are getting used to the post-apocalyptic rhythm, and the Ark has gradually returned to normal, but their life is still very difficult.

But in the last days, who can have an easy life?The sudden natural disaster shattered the land in an instant, and also caused human society to collapse overnight. The ground washed by sea water and magma was full of sand and gravel, and the desertification became more and more serious. There was no food at all. The remaining supplies are lingering.Although it is not a long-term solution, but at the moment, it is the only way to survive.

The mermaid and sea monster that appeared along with the magma and the tsunami made the panicked survivors even more desperate. Except for the desperadoes, no one dared to approach the seaside.Now that six years have passed, the supplies on the ground are even more tense, and looting continues. Everything is forcing human beings to face the sea again.

And the army temporarily assembled by humans and the mermaids confronted each other several times, quietly breaking the superstition.You see, although mermaids have more developed black technology and have higher force values ​​in single combat, they are always merciful, and they don't just tear them up when they see them. As long as you are careful not to provoke them, you may not die, right?

Between adventure and hunger, more people began to choose the former.

Ark's mother is also one of them.In the year when Gu Baiqing fumbled with the boat, Fang Zhou's father also wanted to be a scavenger at sea. After all the roads were explored, Fang Zhou's mother stopped him, but what she didn't expect was that picking up waste on land was the same. Not safe, looters are more ruthless than mermaids, in order to prevent retaliation, even complete corpses will not be left behind.

It's even more difficult for a woman with a child in the last days. Gu Baiqing is too busy to take care of himself, and even if he occasionally helps out, he is often unable to do so.Therefore, when she asked Gu Baiqing to recommend Fang Zhou for the first time, he agreed almost immediately, and he was slightly relieved.He owes Fang Zhou's parents a favor, which is worthless in the last days, but he firmly remembers that this favor is bound together with his mother's death like a stone that weighs heavily on his heart, and he will never be at peace for a moment.

Behind favors are often the most painful memories. He waited for too long and was eager to let go, but now he finally sees the dawn.

He reached out and stroked Fang Zhou's fluffy hair. The greasy feel made Gu Baiqing's face stiff, and he rubbed it on Fang Zhou's shoulder without any trace, sighing: "The captain will prepare food, don't save it for him. Winter It's almost here, just dress warmly, bring a pair of underwear, don't bring spare clothes. The point is, did you buy the compass?"

The ship's crew generally did not bring their own compass, but in Gu Baiqing's view, only the compass was the most indispensable.It is easy to get lost at sea. A ship usually has at most two compasses, but in case of an accident, or even worse, the ship disappears... Be prepared, and you can rest assured that you hold things in your hands.

"Bought it." Ark carefully untied the leather rope from his waist like offering a treasure, and the metal shell reflected silver light under the light.

Gu Baiqing frowned, "New one? What did you replace it with?"

"Now we have to buy it with coins, twenty coppers." Fang Zhou caressed the cold metal shell in his hand with a cherished expression.

Twenty coppers?Lai Mazi's attack was really dark.Gu Baiqing gritted his teeth secretly, reached out and grabbed Fang Zhou's arm, pulled him up, turned around and left, even forgetting about building the house, muttering: "Let's go, brother will take you to buy something you really need."
