A luminous "nucleus" hangs above the safe area, which is similar to the sun in the outside world, and it is also one of the most important conditions for people here to survive. The "nucleus" continuously releases energy for a moment, so there is no alternation of day and night in the sea monster's belly. Only the ringing of the bell in the square every hour can make the residents who have been numb feel that time is still passing by.

After counting the third 24 bells, Lin Tianyin unknowingly found that it had been three days since he arrived at this place. Under the current situation, it seems impossible to go to area a, even areas b and c. Now they have too little information. She has to follow the exploration team with Celil. The area of ​​D area is really large. It is not easy to remember the road here, especially the fluctuation of water level. It's always big, if you don't pay attention, you will even lose your way back and die in this huge garbage recycling bin.

For three days Lin Tianyin and Celil had nothing, but John told them that this is a common thing. The sea monster Ums moves very slowly, and most experienced captains know how to avoid it, and its dormant period is about to come. After two weeks, it will slowly reduce its activity frequency, and then the water level changes in its body will gradually stabilize in two to three months. At that time, it will enter a more difficult state for the residents, and you may have to go to c The district is looking for resources.

For the residents here, the dormant period of the sea monster may not be a good thing, but if the water level is stable, that means she may have the opportunity to enter Zone A to find out. Lin Tianyin secretly made up her mind. Although this is a very risky plan, she will never let go of any possibility of leaving here.

In these three days, apart from getting familiar with the basic situation of zone d, there was no progress. The food distribution in the sea monsters is extremely limited, and most of them are mainly caught deep-sea fish. Due to limited land resources, the production of food and vegetables in the planting land is very small, and only those high-level residents, that is, people equal to the management can enjoy it. The rest of the general households can only obtain part of the food unless they make a major contribution or on festivals.

Yes, there are festivals in this place. Isn't it incredible? It is said that on a certain day of each month, people in this place will hold celebrations to thank the gods for allowing them to survive even after being swallowed by sea monsters. At this time, someone from the management distributes vegetables to ordinary residents. John said Lin Tianyin and the others With good luck, you will be able to participate in this month's Thanksgiving celebration in about a week or so.

Lin Tianyin actually didn't care about this. She didn't really like to eat vegetables. What's ridiculous is that the cheapest and humble food written in the outside world has become the most precious and scarce thing here.

Sure enough, the environment affects life.

Because she was very concerned about what Celil said, after the exploratory mission on the fourth day, she and Celil went to visit the old captain of the passenger ship.

The old captain's stubbornness is a bit weird, but this is not incomprehensible. A few days before sailing, he received a call from the Wang Family Research Institute, saying that it was a secret task to be entrusted to him. When it was officially handed over, the person who gave him the box specially asked him and the sailors to protect the transported items, and absolutely not let anyone know about this. It was originally just a foolproof item that was shipped with the passenger ship, and it was enough to hand it over to the responder after arriving at the destination port, and there was no need to hire mercenaries at all. As a result, the group of pirates did not know where the news came from, and they attacked and looted their ship. In any case, the old captain stated that for the sake of his own honor, he would never steal his life under the premise that the royal property he transported was taken away and the ship that had been traveling for decades was sunk, and insisted on dying in the service.

Since the old captain really refused to cooperate, he seemed to be put under house arrest by the residents here. When Lin Tianyin and Celil went to Chorov and proposed that they wanted to see the old captain, Chorov showed a faintly flustered expression, and some Gu Zuo said to him: "This... he is not in a stable condition, so don't see him. Got it."

...Sure enough, a little suspicious. Lin Tianyin and Celil secretly exchanged glances, wondering if they really quietly dealt with the disobedient?

"But there is something very important, and I want to ask the captain anyway." Celil showed a very sincere appearance, politely and in a pleading tone, said to Chorov, "Please...Is the captain alive now? "

His words seemed to touch something, Chorov's body suddenly stiffened, but he recovered quickly. He turned his head unnaturally, and said to Celil with a smile on his face: "Ah, of course, how can we let the fellow victims of the same disaster easily give up their lives... He is very good now, if you really want to see the captain, please come with me. ."

Chorov changed his words very happily, and seemed to have no guilty conscience at all. This surprised Lin Tianyin—did she guess wrong?

Or is there any other conspiracy? Lin Tianyin was puzzled, but Celil responded quickly and thanked him immediately. Ignoring the unnatural part, Chorov happily led the two of them. After turning around and turning around, finally came to the door of a house built in the fringe area.

There are two shirtless men with strong physique guarding them outside. They were not very energetic, but they immediately became alert when they saw someone approaching.

"Hi, Pico, Tick!"

Chorov waved to them. After seeing Chorov, the two of them relaxed their vigilance a little, nodded at him, and said respectfully, "Master Chorov."

"The guard has worked hard!"

Chorov laughed, turned around with a smile and introduced Lin Tianyin and Celil, and then directly explained his intentions.

"These two are new little brothers here. They want to meet the captain."

The two guards didn't look very friendly, and even said that their guard was a little outrageous. They frowned and looked at Lin Tianyin and Celil, and then simply refused: "No way, Lord Chorov, Governor Helim said that no one should be allowed to approach here. We cannot open the door without receiving an order."

Why is it so tight? Lin Tianyin felt very strange in his heart, the old captain had nothing else besides unwillingness to cooperate. This was obviously the treatment of prisoners. However, Celil reminded her to show her obedient appearance as much as possible and not to question them. Even though she felt a great sense of contradiction, Lin Tianyin still held back and said nothing.

"It's okay, I'll tell the Governor later." Chorov akimbo, looking very bold, explained to the two people in a loud voice: "These two little brothers want to know how the old captain is now, we should Let them see, even for those victims who cannot accept reality, we have not treated them wrongly, right?"

Chorov emphasized the last sentence in particular, and the two guards suddenly seemed to have realized something, and their expressions immediately changed.

"It turned out to be like this... I understand, you can go in."

Their attitudes changed quickly and were a little unnatural, Lin Tianyin felt more and more weird in her heart, but after following Chorov into the house, she was a little surprised.

There were two cell-like cages in that room, but there was a person in the cage on the left. There was untouched water and food on the ground. The person sat quietly on the ground with his head down, looking completely ignorant Loveable appearance.

"Then you talk slowly." Chorov took a step back and said to the two of them kindly, "I will avoid it first and wait for you outside."

Chorov spoke and left the room.

"……captain?"

Lin Tianyin carefully stared at the gray-bearded old man in the cage, and tentatively greeted him.

... Is he still alive?

After hearing the sound, the old captain slowly raised his head tiredly, but after seeing Celil next to Lin Tianyin, he jumped up from the spot as if he had been beaten with blood.

"It's you—that damn pirate!!" He was so excited, he rushed forward and grabbed the fence, "What do you want to do! Want to live? Shameful scum! Get back what you stole!"

"Yo, grandfather." Celil grinned and waved to the old captain and waved hello, "Everyone is like this, don't think about those things, let's get along well."

"Who wants to get along with the smelly pirates!" The old captain was so angry that his beard was crooked, and his eyes were bloodshot. "Don't think that you can sit back and relax, being your retribution! You will be with what you stole forever Buried here!"

"I said... so Grandpa, you said so, why do you have to entangle things that I can't bring out." Celil sighed helplessly: "You are too stubborn, you see, we accept it. I have become a resident here. Isn’t it good to cooperate a little bit? Instead of insisting on dying with dignity, it is better to survive mediocrely. Nothing is more important than living."

"Shut up, I can't tolerate a guy like you to teach an old man." The old captain blushed, but I don't know if it was an illusion. The captain's expression showed a slight wave of vacillation, and suddenly he resented as if he became angry. "Even ashamed. The brat who doesn't know how to write!!!"

...Short oil?

Lin Tianyin suddenly realized that the stubborn old captain might not want to die that much now.

His eyes can tell that he actually wants to live... but this guy is too stubborn and can't admit it out of self-esteem. It seems that there is only one step away from him...

"Really, there is still no way."

The old captain was still cursing, Celil snapped his fingers suddenly, turned his head and looked at Lin Tianyin and said, "Okay, we can go back."

"Ah? I went back so soon?!" Lin Tianyin was surprised at Celil's reaction, she couldn't figure out his thoughts, "Aren't you going to persuade the captain?! It's halfway through, don't give up halfway. !"

To be honest, she almost thought she had seen the shadow of the male protagonist in the boy manga! So when you speak with confidence and a little moving lines, why do you suddenly change when you say it? ! And it's about to succeed, right? !

"No, why have to convince Grandpa?"

This unfolding made the old captain dumbfounded, as if he hadn't expected him to give up so simply. Celil seemed indifferent, shrugged and said, "I don't care anyway, we are not here to do this."

"Huh——?! We are here to confirm some things, but..." Lin Tianyin was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he seemed to have forgotten the original purpose by accidentally high. Indeed, since these people didn't say anything to the captain, then there is no way to prove anything... But isn't Celil too simple! She really almost forgot that this man was actually a pirate...

"Have you not found it yet? So dull, chubby girl." Celil frowned, suddenly stretched out his hand to pinch Lin Tianyin's fat face, lowered his voice and said in her ear: "Don't you really realize anything?"

"What do you realize? The captain is doing well now, and still very energetic..." Lin Tianyin looked at Celil a little confused, and then suddenly, she found a problem.

Yes, such an obvious sense of disobedience, she had already felt it since Chorov brought them over.

In this living space where resources are already very scarce, they locked up a person who was completely uncooperative or even lacking the desire to survive, and provided water and food, but prevented him from doing anything. Why? In this difficult environment, is it necessary for them to raise a worthless person?

"Could it be..." There were some not-so-good guesses in his heart, and Lin Tianyin's eyes widened slightly under the influence of the unknown anxiety. Celil let go and made a "soft" gesture to her. At the same time, Chorov opened the door suddenly and walked in, and said loudly to the two of them as if they were announcing something good: "Have you finished talking? Come with me, the governor said to see you!"
