In the distant Atlantic Azores, a steep cliff rises over the ocean, where the Spanish fleet fought a decisive battle with pirates, and where wooden frames were erected on top of the cliffs, where the hanged bodies of pirates were hung and wobbly until they dried, and this was the best transit point for the Americas, and it was also the place where piracy was most rampant during the Age of Discovery.Before the end of the world, there will probably be pirates in Malacca.In the high-tech of satellite positioning and tracking, freighters sailing on the sea are still easy to find, and it is said that after pirates loot ships, they have to drive the crew to their own ships and abandon the original freighters at sea.Whether it's painting and camouflage, or just targeting fishing boats, it's hard to find which pirate ship is in Malacca's bustling waterways.Someone laughed and said that if the era of piracy reappeared in history, it probably had to be interstellar exploration.Human beings want to go out of the solar system and find other life in the galaxy, only the government and the United Nations are not enough, and when the time comes, for the sake of interests, big corporations and large companies will inevitably have private forces to explore the starry sky in the name of scientific research, in order to find minerals and energy on other planets, it sounds like such a glorious history of interstellar exploration, in fact, it is no different from the essence of the Age of Discovery, whoever grabs it first and occupies it first is whoever, war and conflict will be inevitable, on other barren planets, I am afraid that there is no place for nuclear weapons, and the earth's resources have been increasingly depleted.
Space technology is also developing, but before this day really comes, the end of the world will come first.July, North Atlantic.A brisk wooden boat follows the direction of the current, tightening its sails and preparing to land near the Azores, where food may be sufficient, but fresh water is a scarce resource.The boat is not too big, the sails are all waterproof oil canvas, conspicuous in the blue water and snow-white waves, the bow of the ship is very windy, but the speed does not seem to be very fast, because of the lack of markers on the sea, the synonym of the dead horse running in the mountains is definitely the dead crew such as Wangdao.A large bucket of water was sprinkled on the shiny and smooth deck, and two tall, tanned men crouched and cursed to wipe the deck.In summer, the weather is fine, and the wood is too dry, and if it is not maintained in the sun for a long time, it will leak.It's not easy to get a good boat now.The same wood-cut plate contained a pickled fish, which was half-eaten and did not look very popular.Iron plates are easy to rust and corrode, porcelain plates and glass plates are easy to break, and pewter ware is even worse and will turn into powder in winter.This kind of wooden plate that can't smash people is the best, and you don't have to worry about flying out and turning it into a sharp weapon when the boat is rocking."
We should go to the North Sea once, and the Norwegian Sea is not bad, and the harvest is only abundant."
Looking at the silver scales that kept appearing in the sea, the crew complained while wiping the deck, and now they could only cooperate, relying on six boats to open the big net at the same time, and then separate the net after the net was lowered, and then use manpower to pull up a small part of the net, and then narrow the encirclement, and use harpoons to hunt the fish close to the sea, often worried when they saw the fat big fish, worried about breaking the net.Worst of all were the swordfish, so fierce that they could crash wooden boats."
God forbid, I see dolphins, quick, get up, pull the sails and we follow the dolphins" Dolphins like to hunt in groups, gathering and driving the fish together, at this time even the albatrosses fly to join in the fun, and it is also a great opportunity for fishing boats to take advantage of the opportunity to cast their nets.You don't need to cooperate with other boats, just cast your own net, and if you're lucky, you can have a full net."
Captain, the direction is a little wrong at ten o'clock in front of you.""
I'll see" telescopes appeared a reef island, black, uneven semi-arc."
I haven't seen this island last time I came" "Regardless of it, it's still far away, let's just catch a net and leave." ”It is not uncommon for small islands to suddenly appear on the surface of the sea, but nothing more than new islands created by submarine volcanic eruptions, and most of the islands have experienced this process, except for the islands connected to the continental shelf.The newly emerged islands are full of volcanic ash and stones, the temperature is high, the smell of sulfur is strong, and it is very unstable, so it is not suitable to approach.The fastest record can create a new island in seven or eight days, and the Azores volcanic seismic zone itself was formed in this way.The captain stared at the binoculars for a few more minutes, making sure that there was no black smoke coming out of the reef, and even a faint shade of green and brown vegetation, so he settled down and called out to the crew to follow the group of dolphins to the center of the most agitated part of the water.A long, slender silver fish slammed headlong into the deck, fluttering."
It's the flying fish, God forbid, it's a big catch" Everyone was so happy that they almost jumped up.The sight of flying fish squaddling out of the water and gliding short distances when they encounter predators is a spectacular sight and the most rewarding for a fishing boat, because not counting the results of casting nets, there are many fish that fall on the deck without a head or brain.One of the crew members even took off their clothes and jumped up to pounce on the fish that flew by, and they were very excited."
Idiot, leave those things alone," the captain scolded.Flying fish have good eyesight during the day, and when they see what their companions are doing, they will flap their wing-like fins to avoid boats.The nylon rope nets are quickly covered, which is also specially chosen, because it is too likely to run into powerful creatures such as swordfish and dolphins, which can easily break the nets, and the boat itself is not large enough to withstand the recoil, causing them to not be able to use manual mechanical trawls."
It's so heavy, come and help" The two strong men couldn't pull the net up.In addition to the man at the helm, the captain also ran over to help, after the fishing net was pulled up, the first thing they saw was the sailfish and the flying fish, it seemed that it was full of nets, everyone was very excited, shouted the trumpet and continued to pull up, the fishing net was halfway down, and they found that a fish much larger than the flying fish appeared in the pocket of the net.The fan-shaped tail fin is open, and then there are dense pale yellow scales, and the body of the fish is three times thicker than the tail fin, it must be a very fat fish, and it doesn't look like a dolphin swordfish, is it a new breed of big salmon A few people pulled violently, dumbfounded.The thicker and thicker fish tail actually appeared on the white piece of pink and tender meat, and there was a small navel eye.The net fluttered, and the upside-down "fish" tossed sideways."
What's the matter, did you catch a shark?"
shouted the helmsman, craning his neck.Shit is not so scary even if he catches a shark, he is a very small child, with a bulging face, no elbows on his short arms, only three circles of meat, and no neck in sight.The chin of the meat is double, and the flesh of the upper body is as fat and round as the tail of the lower body, but because it does not have soft scales, it is strangled into small pieces by fishing nets.The flying fish in the net fluttered and jumped, hitting the white and tender little belly into a pit, and there were light red marks, according to the scientific name of humans, this is a typical baby fat.The tail was slightly curved, without any bent marks of bone, and it was impossible to distinguish between knees and ankles, and it was as flexible and powerful as a real fish, and it slapped away the other small fish that kept scurrying in the net pocket.The same soft pale yellow hair, just a thin layer of wet and attached to the head, the ear fins look very obvious, the eyes are the light blue color of the sea, clear and beautiful, it looks up curiously in the net pocket, pokes its chubby fingers in its mouth, and looks through the fishing net at the person lying on the boat gang, dumbfounded and pulls the net.The captain of "The Mermaid" and "My God" couldn't believe his eyes, and rubbed his eyes with his hands stained with seawater, and suddenly burst into tears because of the discomfort."
Hey, captain, you're not going to" Did you catch a mermaid so touched The guy who said it was obviously nervous, and stared at the net in a daze.This mermaid doesn't seem to be able to eat the legendary mermaid, it's too unlucky, the mermaid that others met is a beautiful woman, and they caught a child, oh no, it's just a little bit, the cats on the boat are bigger than it, "meow" said that the cat is coming, this adult cat with brown hair is the captain's heart and liver baby, and it was raised before the end of the world.The captain said that the cat is so good, it can catch mice, and it is not worrying about eating on the ship, in fact, this cat used to eat cat food, but in the last days, it was forced to gnaw fish, and often blew up the hair for this to make the captain's face bloody.The crew scooped up the nets and watched as the little mermaids in the nets were at a loss.Now I don't have a mobile phone camera or anything, so it's better to take a group photo.If you bring it back to the shore this year, people can't eat enough, and there is that elite to grab rare species, this maybe, or don't let people find out that it is better The captain has already smirked and wondered, is the sink on the boat moved out to be a new home for this little mermaid, deep enough and hidden, no, you should call someone to brush it first, there is a smoky smell inside, and the water is also very muddy.I don't know what the mermaid eats, it should be similar to his cat."
Meow" his cat jumped off the mast rope and mercilessly gave the captain another paw.The sailfish and flying fish in the fishing net fluttered on the deck, and the little mermaid who looked round turned over to the side of the deck very dexterously, curiously pulled the fishing net on its body with her fingers, and then a fish tried to jump on it, and the fat little fish tail immediately snapped like a fly swatter, and the flying fish flapped over on the deck and twitched.All the crew, including the helmsman who almost fainted when he saw the truth at this time, wake up, this mermaid is obviously the same as your baby cat, you can't touch or touch, and the fierce and aggressive "Hi" captain squatted down carefully, very cautiously kept his distance, how sincere and sincere his smile was, and almost hung the words "I have something to eat, you are good" on his face, which is the special smile of the cat who coaxed him.The little mermaid ignored him, it was biting the nylon rope, but its teeth were barely growing, and it was small, and it was okay to gnaw on the shellfish, and it was quite difficult to bite off the nylon rope, and it was covered with saliva on the net pocket after a while.Its chubby fingers had already pulled open the net, and it seemed that it was only curious to bite now.Then he overturned the wooden plate containing the pickled fish, and without even looking at the half of the fish, turned over the plate with his little hands, first leaned in front of him, and then raised his short arms and moved away to look at it.There is no such thing in the memory of the inheritance, which is recessed in the middle of the flattening, what is this for, the little mermaid buttoned the plate to its face, just to cover its face, it thought it had found a use, but as soon as it let go, the plate slid to the ground.So his face was covered with sauce and minced fish, and he wiped it with the back of his hand, and crawled to the side to poke the cold anchor.It's too good at entertaining itself, the crew all stood dumbly, and no one noticed that the reef island was strangely getting closer and closer to them, not the boat was moving, but the mermaid lived alone since it was born, and it needed to see the real thing, and then compare it with the inheritance memory.They live in the ocean and generally refuse to surface during their juvenile years, nor do they go near the habitat of large fish.It's safe enough to hide in shipwrecks and coral reefs, and there are enough delicious foods like oyster shells for the mermaids to grow.But the first thing the little mermaid saw when she opened her eyes was Taumas.Taumas swims with it in the vast ocean, and there is a comparison of the size of Taumas, sharks, dolphins and even whales are ordinary.Now the boat is too, and the little mermaid knows that there are people on this boat.Humans are wonderful beings to mermaids, they are not interested in humans at this age, and those crew members have no malice or fear, and they are not even close, of course, they can't arouse the mermaid's instinctive reaction."
Meow."
The brown shorthair cat scurried over and stepped on the fat fishtail with the meat pad.The light blue eyes narrowed, the mouth opened, as if he didn't hear what happened to the little mermaid, but the tail of the fish followed, the cat deftly ran away, but the tail suffered, the tip was patted squarely, the cat screamed, and threw itself into the captain's arms.It's really gratifying that his cat was bullied, and he would run to find comfort, how could it be, your cat is very tough, and he didn't scratch and fight again because he was frightened by infrasound.The captain just laughed, suddenly frozen, how could the boat float to the edge of the island Gafer Taumas anxiously looked for the little mermaid in a group of dolphins, the paddle fins slapped away the fish, it took a nap Ah the sun was so warm, it fell asleep in a daze, and not long after, the little mermaid Taumas suddenly saw a shadow on the bottom of the boat on the sea, and just startled, he heard the threatening sound waves of the little mermaid.Caught by a human, Ga Fei was actually caught by a human and angrily threw his head out of the sea, the sea sloping down from it like a waterfall, and glaring at the boat with big eyes: let go of Ga Feir "My God, Captain Help" The crew shrank back in fright, and some fell to the ground, and the captain also slammed back into the mast in horror to see the monster that suddenly emerged from the sea, but his cat meowed bravely and stood in front of its owner.The little mermaid pulled the plate in her hand and giggled.Taumas is also stupid, could it be that Gaphir likes humans.That's right, the sirens like Xia Yi, this is not good, it is a turtle that can live too long, except for the Kraken, there is no sea monster that can accompany it to the end of its life, this is it is not easy to pick it up, is it the little mermaid who definitely does not give humans "setgarfiedfree" As a well-informed sea turtle, it will speak a few simple words of English, hum, it can definitely threaten humans, and the people on the boat have not recovered from the horror of seeing the sea monster, and in an instant they heard the sea monster roaring in English, completely stupid, okay, but the little mermaid heard his nameSeeing that Taumass seemed to be very angry, he climbed to the side of the boat for some distance, grabbed the wooden plate with one hand, and climbed the boat with the other, and the fishtail slapped very hard, and the round body flipped out of the air and fell into the sea with a pop, like a cannonball, and exploded into the water with a high splash.Captain and crew: The little mermaid swam slowly in the water, and Taumars sank, revealing only the back of the reef island, and gently pushed Gafeier's tail with his head, and the four fins were cut open, swimming into the distance.The captain sat down the deck with a slid down the mast, blinking indifferently, he had just heard something garfied. ”The brown shorthair cat paced over and rubbed the owner's face.The captain and crew stupidly looked at the "island" farther and farther away from the sea, and then at the cat, and hugged their heads with a wail.This must be a dream, they didn't catch a mermaid today, they didn't see a sea monster, and they didn't hear a mermaid's name turned out to be Garfield Hell Gafield's nickname is Garfield's nickname Garfield dare to give a fish a cat's name The sea monster dares the author to have something to say: garfied is Garfield's full name, and lo and behold, Garfield has a serious name, nicknamed Garfield, but the pronunciation is gafeier, there is a child's pronunciation, believe me, Taumars doesn't even know what a "cat" is, it just heard the name, very nice and very famous gd1806102:
