The track of dawn in the world of American manga

Chapter 49 2. Doomsday Treasure
Like a bird with broken wings falling to the ground in the dark.

As the kite carefully crafted by the kiteman made a screeching sound due to being overweight, the three men howled ghostly and fell to the burning island below.

When approaching the chaotic ground, Mason glanced down and could see the whole picture of Turtle Island in front of him.

The island is not big, but it is densely covered with messy buildings, and even "bamboo buildings around the island" spread out on the beach.

It is precisely because these inferior wooden buildings are too close to the wooden pier that the flames ignited to prevent the zombies from rushing out of the pier easily spread along the beach.

But the strange thing is that even though the pier has been invaded by zombies and is still burning, there can still be noise and shouts from the towns on the island.

It seems that everyone in this place is still enjoying themselves, unaware of the danger that is close at hand.

It feels a bit like the chaos of carnival before the end of the world.

A low, shriveled and ominous howl sounded from the flames, and the zombies who smelled fresh flesh rushed through the sea of ​​flames, even though their bodies were burning, they still tried their best to pounce on the nearest escapee.

Mason looked back, and the zombies almost all rushed out from an old trestle bridge, and at the end of them were several large merchant ships stranded in the shallow sea.

That's where the zombies come from.

It is estimated that it was another disaster caused by the "Black Death at Sea".

"Charles! Go blow up some stranded ships!"

When they were two meters above the ground, Mason and Zhakang jumped off the rope at the same time. After a few laps on the ground, Mason used a communication headset to say to the kiteman who was trying his best to control the direction of the fall in the air:

"We'll be in charge of the pier."

"Got it! Ah!"

The kiteman's shout came from the earphones, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, followed by Charles' weak response:
"I'm on both feet, boss. But why do I seem to hit someone? Uh, I'll act now!"

"boom"

Mason pulled out the hand cannon and swung the muzzle, and the quick draw talent was activated.

The large deer bullets fired two consecutive shots and knocked the sailor zombies rushing from behind to the ground. At the same time as the stinky blood flew up, the young man pulled out his shotgun and Old K said to Constantine who got up behind him:
"Get ready to throw it forward! Throw it higher."

"Can you hit it?"

The black magician complained.

He grabbed two small medicine bottles and threw them one left and one right towards the burning chaotic land ahead. The small bottles were only the size of a fist, and the speed of throwing them out could hardly be caught in the night sky.

But Mason raised the muzzle of the gun and barely took aim, and the free aiming frame had already locked the target for him.

The light sniper fired two shots and smashed the medicine bottle in the air, and the viscous medicine like mercury splashed down, covering the chaotic crowd and the heads of the assaulting zombies.

Any creature that gets even a little bit of that liquid sees in horror that its body is quickly covered in gray rock.

Ten seconds later, dozens of "stone statues" of various shapes appeared in the narrow, crowded and burning area.

Zombies and living people are all petrified. In this state, they are not afraid of flames and the location of the "breakthrough" chosen by Mason is exquisite. All stuck in the rear that was already on fire.

"Good marksmanship!"

Konstantin whistled and was still clapping, looking like he was watching.

Mason glanced at him and said:
"Keep throwing."

"Swish"

A few more bottles of potion were thrown out, and were blown up one by one by Mason in the air.

He controlled the landing point and range, and made the petrified zombies form a "human wall" with chillingly precise sniping, and the immovable stone statue quickly completely blocked the subsequent zombies' advance.

This weak petrification potion is a by-product of Mason's proficiency level. It is simple to make and the effect is poor. Ordinary people will recover by themselves after being petrified for a few minutes at most, so it will not feel bad if it is used as a consumable.

Behind him, Zha Kang was already close to the sea and began to cast spells to put out the fire.

Nearly ten flight engineering bombs also formed a "swarm" under the control of the kiteman, silently across the night sky and quickly rushed to the rear of the ship that was still pouring out zombies.

Ten seconds later, there were loud noises and flames soaring into the sky, and the zombies who hadn't had time to rush out of the merchant ship were blown to pieces together with the ship that once belonged to them.

Judging from the extent of this violent explosion, it should be that Charles found the powder keg on the ship and carried out a precise blast.

Mason saw the large group of zombies with nowhere to go turned around and rushed towards him. The young man took out a few things from his luggage and put them where they were, before running away.

After running out of a safe distance, he fired a shot in the back.

The flame ignited on the ground like a fiery snake and galloped forward. A few seconds later, an extremely violent explosion raised a blazing fireball on the spot, blowing the zombies that rushed over to the ground.

At the same time, Zha Kang's magic was ready.

The sea water in the night rolled up strangely, and a small tornado swept the water into the sky, and then swept across the entire burning pier in a torrential rain, causing the raging fire to quickly weaken and then be extinguished by subsequent raindrops.

With the cooperation of the three of them, this zombie attack that might have dragged the entire Turtle Island into the abyss was suppressed, and Constantine, who was dripping all over his body, walked up to Mason and asked in surprise, pointing to the place where the explosion just happened. arrive:

"What kind of potion is that? It's so powerful?"

"That's three petrol cans."

Mason replied blankly, making Zha Kang look at him strangely.

The young man pouted and explained:

"In addition to being an alchemist, I'm also an engineer. As an engineer, isn't it normal for me to carry a gasoline barrel with me?"

"Boss! Are you safe? The drunks in the town rushed out to help. These cowards are really shameless. They dare not come out until we win."

Charles' voice came from Mason's earphones, and he said with some embarrassment:
"And when I fell just now, I knocked down the roof of a tavern and injured several people. We may have to lose money later."

Facts have proved that even the desperate people under the doomsday have a reason, and they did not rudely demand compensation from the "Turtle Island Savers".

In fact, the group of drunkards who rushed out of the town in a panic were stopped by a row of stone statues.

A few guys who seem to be the leaders are obviously knowledgeable.

They whispered about the topic of "wizards" and carefully avoided the vivid statues of living people, and then swung their knives and guns to smash the stone statues of zombies to the ground.

"Ah, powerful wizards and lords, thank you for putting out the chaos caused by these damned ghouls, you saved the town and are the benefactors of all of us.

We all want to thank you both and the weird guy who fell down. "

A guy with a wooden prosthetic leg on his lame leg, a pirate hook in his left hand, and a blind eye came forward and warmly welcomed Mason and Zack.

This guy should be a well-known figure on Turtle Island.

In fact, his image can be distinguished by only one person, which is as high as a pirate captain.

"Should I just thank you verbally?"

Zha Kang picked up his pipe, flicked his fingers to create a ball of floating fire, lit the cigarette, and said in a drawn out voice:

"Not something practical?"

This action made the pirates in front of him a little afraid. He turned around and discussed with the guys dressed as businessmen behind him, and said with a smile on his face:
"Turtle Island is a generous place, two adults, in order to thank you for your assistance, you can take whatever is in the dock warehouse, as long as you can move it, you can take it away.

Also, can we have the honor to know the names of the two?I have been in this sea area for 30 years and I don’t seem to have heard of it.”

"Swish"

One thing was thrown by Mason to the guy who tested their identities.

The latter looked down and found that it was a well-made voodoo doll, and quickly turned to the back to see the mark that only pirates could understand.

His face changed.

As if touching a charcoal fire, he hurriedly returned the voodoo doll to Mason with both hands, and whispered in a more obsequious tone:
"It turned out to be a member of the Queen Anne's Revenge. To tell you the truth, I still have some friendship with the cunning and evil Captain Barbossa."

"Really? But I don't know him."

Mason took back Old K's voodoo doll, raised his airs and said in a cold voice:
"I was friends with Edward Teach, not Barbossa! I heard my friend died and his famous ship was taken, so here I am.

Tell me, pirate, where is Barbossa? "

The waist of the old pirate in front of him bent even deeper.

Sweat was dripping from the black face full of scars and wrinkles. From the tone of these two guys, they were very powerful. Didn't they even pay attention to the legendary pirate Barbossa who is very popular at sea now?

And it sounds like it's related to the death of another legendary pirate, "Blackbeard".

Tsk tsk, the water is so deep!

But whether it is true or not, he can't afford to offend such a character, so he can only laugh and say:

"That old dog Barbossa is leading his fleet to Turtle Island, my lord wizard. You can stay here for a few days before you can see him.

In fact, not only Barbossa, but other pirate kings are already rushing here.

Turtle Island is honored to be the venue for the third Pirate King Conference, and it will become very lively in a few days. "

"Ah."

Mason entered the state of "player", waved his hand and said in a cold voice:

"I won't go to your noisy bar to join in the fun. These days I live on the pier, and my slaves will conduct some trade on your island in my name.

Watch out for your drunkards, don't let cats and dogs bother me.

Otherwise my friend will be very upset. "

After Mason finished speaking, Zha Kang, who knew how to pretend to be a tiger, immediately sneered a few times very cooperatively.

He's so good at being the villain and playing tricks.

With a flick of a finger, the dark green fireflies turned into shrieking skeletons and rushed towards the crowd, and then exploded in the splash of fiery sparks, burning a few unlucky ones to tumbling and screaming.

Now no one doubted the identity of Mason and Zack Kang as "wizards".

In this sea of ​​superstition and ignorance, wizards and prophets who wield mysterious supernatural powers are still formidable characters even in the era of the end.

"Meow~"

A shriveled meow made the old pirate raise his head in surprise at this moment, and then he saw Mason take out a delicate birdcage from his arms and make it bigger in his hands like magic.

And in that birdcage, a zombie cat with scarlet eyes was staring at the fresh flesh and blood like a little tiger.

The old pirate could no longer bear the horror in his heart and hastily stepped back two steps.

He looked in horror at the two mysterious "wizards" in front of him. At this moment when all survivors regard "ghouls" as ferocious beasts, there is still someone who dares to take the initiative to tame this doomsday beast that brings death?

Can't afford it!
Confirmed, this is really unprovoked.

"Go away! Don't bother me."

Mason snorted, put the voodoo birdcage of the "disguise prop" back into his arms, waved his hand, and the group of drunkards immediately retreated respectfully.

And at this time, those petrified living people also recovered, lying on the ground trembling one by one, not daring to look up at the terrifying wizard.

Within a few minutes, the entire pier was quiet again.

"Not bad, I'm beginning to think that you also have the talent to be a super liar."

Constantine whistled to Mason, stared at the voodoo doll in his hand, and said:

"Is this also the 'inheritance' left by that old K?"

"It has expired, but it is indeed a very useful 'identity certificate' in the sea."

Mason threw the voodoo doll in his hand to Zha Kang.

The latter can tell at a glance that this is a crooked way of voodoo. An old friend who is very close to Zha Kang, Father Midnight who runs a nightclub in New York is a priest of voodoo.

But the voodoo doll in Mason's hand was obviously older and more evil.

"Let's go, go and count the harvest."

Mason glanced at the gathered zombie corpses around him, and then at the burning and stranded ships behind him. He and Zha Kang walked towards the wharf warehouse, which was more than half burned.

These pirates are really stingy and cunning, and they actually took this thing as a thank you to the benefactor who saved them just now.

but
"There are so many magic threads?"

Zha Kang found something good as soon as he entered the warehouse. He picked up a roll of blue spinning thread in a half-burned box and checked it out. He said to Mason:

"The quality is good! It's an enchanted genuine product, and it should be of high value anywhere, but now it's just casually thrown in the warehouse guarded by the pirates.

Look here, the place to bury the mule is more particular than this!

Don't they know the value of this thing?
Or just don't care? "

Mason kicked open the cracked box on the ground, picked up a piece of ore that emitted yellow fluorescence in the dark, and soon an information label popped up:
Mountain Blood Raw Ore
Quality: Refined Minerals

Effectiveness: If you have the right tools, you can get magic metals after smelting. After professional screening, there is a chance to get magic gems for jewelry processing. After professional grinding, you can use them for alchemy or make sand and graphite water for inscriptions and seal carvings.

Reminder: Holding jewelry processing branch items, jewelry processing branch skills are enabled, currently Lv0
"boom"

The crimson magic fire jumped out from between Mason's five fingers and began to burn the raw ore in his hand. While trying to smelt the ore, he said to Zha Kang who was constantly "treasure hunting":
"Do you think this is strange? John, think about the world background."

Mason shook his head and said:

"With the medical conditions and response speed of this era, the outbreak of the zombie disaster is an irresistible doomsday disaster, and all the survivors in the whole world ran to the sea to survive.

But they didn't come out empty-handed, John.

They brought out their most cherished treasures!
Now the wealth of the whole world is gathered on this sea, and the things in the warehouse in front of us are just the most insignificant point of those 'doomsday treasures'.

It's not a drop in the bucket.

It's not that the survivors on this island don't know the value of these things, but they are almost dead, and the world is about to be destroyed. What's the use of these things?

In this situation, a priceless magic thread is not as precious as a mouthful of moldy bread.

The island is a great treasure trove. "

The young man looked at the stones and small pieces of metal that were being continuously peeled off by the magic fire in his hands, and he smiled in this dark warehouse.

said softly:
"As for how much we can get from this treasure house, it depends on our ability, John."

Ps:

It will be on the shelves next Friday, with a minimum guarantee of [-] changes. I will let you know the specific situation in advance when I think about it and come up with a charter. Please prepare the monthly ticket in advance.
