Doomsday Totem

Chapter 72 Swimming
Zhao Linglong raised her slender index finger and pointed out the location of the target on the nautical chart.The two captains were startled and looked at each other.The location Zhao Linglong pointed to was the small island that was rumored to have evacuated the garrison some time ago.They originally wanted to go there to try their luck, but after hearing what Zhao Linglong said, they didn't want to go...

Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is the basic principle of deep-sea fishermen, not to mention that they are deep-sea fishermen who often act as pirates.

"Give me a lifeboat, I'm going back." Captain Xia Yihan said simply.

"I signed up to be a sailor." Captain Feng Yun echoed.

"Are you men?" Zhao Linglong asked contemptuously.

"Does this have something to do with men?" "Yes, does it have something to do with it?" The two captains asked each other.

"Look at him, this is a man." Zhao Linglong pointed to Tie Slag and said.

Clinging to his chest all the time, Tie Slag, who lowered his head, seemed to hear someone talking about him. He opened his eyes blankly, and after seeing the situation clearly, he grinned and said, "I'm sorry, I fell asleep just now."

"You..." Zhao Linglong suddenly felt an inexplicable dizziness, clutching her forehead, and fell powerlessly on the back of the chair.

Captain Xia Yihan took the opportunity to step forward and put his arms around Zhao Linglong's slender waist, pointed at Captain Feng Yun and said, "Look at you, little traitor, you've made everyone faint."

"Is she seasick?" Captain Feng Yun argued.

"Seasick? You have to lie down for a while." The captain said with concern.Zhao Linglong pushed him away and stood up unsteadily.The captain cheekily rubbed over and whispered something in her ear.I don't know what he said, but Zhao Linglong was amused after a while.Afterwards, he graciously helped Zhao Linglong back to the captain's cabin to rest...

"Damn, it's really not a thing to be able to pick up girls." Captain Feng Yun sighed to himself while peeling potatoes, "Could you sell us again?"

Iron Slag looked at the nautical chart on the table, and some information was marked next to the target island.

莱因哈特城（5号）驻黄金湾第19守备队，Dr3706-11-01前往黑海驻地。

Stinger genetic breeding?Mutant clone experiment?Regenerative hormone research? ——
Crescent Union Dr 3709-01-15.

Looking at a bunch of unfamiliar terms, Tie Slag scratched his hair and asked Captain Feng Yun if he understood.The latter raised his head, glanced at the nautical chart, and said, "I've heard of the stinger, but I don't remember anything else."

Feng Yun said that a few years ago, he met a group of people from the central mainland.According to them, a very troublesome alien creature appeared in the central continent, which can shoot out sharp insect thorns, and has a very strong reproductive capacity, which has threatened the survival of human beings.

Therefore, at the strong request of the core organization "Human Alliance" in the Central Continent, the Temple sent the "Dawn Expeditionary Force" to assist the Central Continent in cleaning up the thorn bugs.However, the Dawn Expeditionary Army not only wiped out the thorns, but also the so-called heretics.

Originally, the Central Continent was the battlefield between humans and alien planes, and they needed to be unified with the outside world, so they were less affected by the temple and relatively free.Various religious factions stand everywhere, and there are even strongholds of worm-like mutants.But since the arrival of the Dawn Expeditionary Force, the balance of the Central Continent has been broken, and many organizations have been forced to leave the Central Continent and go to the Far East and the Northern Wilderness.

The group of people Feng Yun mentioned are the remnants of a small sect.Their stronghold was burned by the Dawn Expeditionary Army, and most of the believers were executed. Only a small group of people fled to Luoyan Town by boat.

"You seem to be digressing." Tie Slag reminded.

"No, I'm explaining the dangers of thorn bugs." Feng Yun explained.

"Are you talking about the danger of the Dawn Expeditionary Army?" Tie Slag said.

"Anyway, they're all about the same..." Feng Yun said.

"It seems that you are somewhat dissatisfied with the temple." Tie Slag asked tentatively.The result of Alice scanning Feng Yun is:

[Possesses a mutated insect gene fragment, there is no similar mutated gene fragment in the database, the ability to transform into an insect is unknown, and the combat effectiveness is evaluated as brass intermediate, with an accuracy rate of 58%]
"I'm a worm, so of course I'm dissatisfied with the temple. Those fanatics will trouble us when they have nothing to do all day long. Can I not hate them?" Feng Yun replied bluntly.Under normal circumstances, worm-like mutants would conceal their true identities.However, he has already been scanned by Tie Slag's locomotive, knowing that his identity has been exposed, there is nothing to hide.

However, status is one thing and ability is another.Every worm-turning mutant is tight-lipped about his worm-turning ability, unless it is necessary, he will not let people know easily.After all, there is still the possibility of plundering each other's abilities among worm-like mutants.

However, some worm-like abilities cannot be hidden, such as some common basic abilities, such as ants-like muscles (worm-like strength), pump circuits (worm-like agility), worm-like compound eyes (worm-like vision), limb regeneration ( Resilience), beetle stamina (insectization endurance), hive reproduction (reproductive ability), etc., the insectization ability of these basic classes, the mutated gene fragments are not far apart, and there are all in the database of the genetic scanner, as long as you find a highly consistent Gene chain nodes can be directly judged.

In addition, Rick's insectification ability is to antify muscles. Once he uses this ability, the skin of his whole body will turn dark red, which can be judged directly with the naked eye.However, things always have two sides, and the easier to identify an insectification ability, the less attractive it is.

Most worm mutants don't look down on basic abilities.Because every gene plunder has certain risks, few people are willing to take such risks to integrate basic abilities.Furthermore, basic abilities have relatively large changes to the body, and having two basic abilities at the same time will greatly increase the possibility of gene chain collapse.

It's like Rick's antized muscle, even if he gave it away for free, Iron Slag wouldn't want it.Although increasing strength in a short period of time is helpful in combat, it has little effect on the overall combat power.No matter how powerful human beings are, they are no bigger than mechas (except for the perverts of the holy rank).Just improving strength is not of much use.Integrating this ability is better than directly doping.

Feng Yun's insectification ability is at least rare, and Tie Slag is very interested in it.However, he did not do it for the purpose of gene plundering, but just for the curiosity of fellow worms.

"Yeah." Tie Slag nodded and said, "No one can decide their own birth and mutation."

"Yes! This is innate. Why do they regard us as heretics? We are all human beings and should not discriminate against each other." Feng Yun sighed.

us?These two words flashed by, and Tie Slag couldn't help but glance at Feng Yun. The other party mentioned it twice in a row just now. Did he mean all the worms, or were they alluding to the two of them.

"What's your insectification ability? Show it." Tie Slag ordered.

"This..." Feng Yunkou stared at Tie Slag dumbfounded. He didn't expect him to suddenly turn his face and ask such a terrible question.

"Don't you want to?" Iron Slag asked while holding the handle of the knife behind his back.

"Wait... I said... I said..." Feng Yun hurriedly dropped the knife and potatoes, stood up and took two steps back, then fell on all fours, half lying on the deck.

Tie Slag was about to ask him what he was doing, but he heard a low cry, kicked his legs vigorously, and with a "boom", it shot up like a cannonball, and didn't fall until it reached a height of more than ten meters.

"Fleas?" Tie Slag couldn't help thinking.Feng Yun's posture and movements, combined with his short and fat body and round belly, except that his legs are not long enough, he looks like a flea.

After landing on the ground, Feng Yun patted the dust on his hands and said, "Flea bouncing is not very useful."

"Not bad." Iron Slag praised sincerely. If you use this ability to steal things, it will definitely be top-notch. At least when you stole compressed biscuits that day, you can jump over the grid in one go.

Feng Yun smiled awkwardly, sat down and continued peeling potatoes.After a while, the captain returned to the deck with a happy face, patted Feng Yun on the shoulder, and said to Tie Zha, "I heard that there are many good things on that island, we should try our luck."

Feng Yun gave the captain a disdainful look, and then said to Tie Slag, "Look, he sold us out again."

"You can't say that. It is said that there are many valuable instruments on the island. They can be sold for money when they are dismantled, and maybe they can be installed on the ship. Isn't it good?" the captain said.

"What benefits do I have?" Tie Slag asked the most important question, and Feng Yun immediately echoed, "Yes, what benefits do I have."

Obviously, Iron Slag doesn't need money, because there is no place to spend money on the way to the end of the world.

"It is said that as far as I know, if you want to cross the ice field on a snowy night, you must at least prepare a snowmobile full of supplies." After speaking, the captain made a comprehensive analysis.

The Snowy Night Ice Field is a place with a very peculiar climate, accompanied by the phenomenon of polar day and polar night all year round.However, it is impossible to refuel in no man's land.Therefore, all motorized equipment is powered by solar energy.

Travelers on the ice field usually open solar umbrellas to charge during the day and move at night.Hearing this, Tie Slag nodded, that was indeed his plan.

However, the snowy night ice sheet in winter will always be in a state of polar night, with only a few hours of sunlight each day.This makes it impossible to effectively recharge, and can only rely on the reserved fuel for action.Therefore, if Iron Slag wants to cross the ice sheet in this season, he must prepare enough supplies, and these supplies cannot be carried by a locomotive.

In addition, the captain will also go to the snowy night ice field to hunt snow bears, and they will be able to take care of each other on the way.His plan is to go to the island to try his luck first, and if he can find something valuable, he will go to "Iceland" to sell it, and collect the materials needed to cross the ice sheet by the way.

"En." Tie Slag nodded, as if agreeing with the captain's statement.Furthermore, he can't take the boat for nothing, which is not in line with his principles of life.

"What about me? What benefits do I have?" Seeing that Tie Slag was persuaded, Feng Yun hurriedly asked.

"You?" said the captain with a grin. "If things go well, you can take this ship to Iceland and continue to be your cook. But if things don't go well, you may have to swim back."
