The track of dawn in the world of American manga

Chapter 49 2. Doomsday Treasure

Like a big bird with broken wings falling to the ground in the dark night.

As the kite carefully made by the kite maker made an overwhelming and harsh sound due to its overweight, the three men howled and fell towards the burning island below.

As he neared the chaotic ground, Mason glanced down and saw the whole of Turtle Island in front of him.

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

It is precisely because these inferior wooden buildings are too close to the also wooden pier that the flames ignited to prevent the zombies from rushing out from 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 on fire, the noise and shouting can still be heard in the towns on the island.

It seems that everyone here and there is still enjoying themselves, unaware of the dangers that are just around the corner.

Rather, it feels like a chaotic carnival before the end of the world.

A low, dry and ominous roar sounded from the flames. The zombies smelling fresh flesh and blood rushed through the sea of ​​fire. Even though their bodies were burning, they still tried their best to pounce on the nearest escapee.

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

That is the source of zombies.

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 Zha Kang jumped down from the rope at the same time. After rolling awkwardly for a few times on the ground, Mason used a communication headset to say to the kite man who was trying his best to control the direction of the fall in the air:

"We'll be in charge of the dock side."

"Roger that! Ah!"

The kite man's shouts came from the headphones, and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground was followed by Charles's weak response:

"I landed on both feet, boss. But why did I seem to hit someone? Well, I took action immediately!"

"boom"

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

Two rounds of large buckshot knocked the sailor zombies rushing behind him to the ground. While the smelly blood flew up, the young man pulled out the shotgun of Old K and said to Constantine who was getting up behind him:

"Get ready to throw forward! Throw it higher."

"Can you hit it?"

The black magician complained.

He grabbed two small medicine bottles, one on the left and the other on the right, and threw them towards the burning chaos ahead. The small bottles were only the size of a fist, and they were thrown out at a speed that could hardly be caught in the night sky.

But Mason raised the muzzle of the gun and barely took aim. The free aiming frame helped him lock the target.

The light sniper fired two shots and shattered the medicine bottle in the air, and the mercury-like viscous medicine sprinkled down, covering the chaotic crowd and the heads of the attacking zombies.

Any creature that was contaminated with the liquid, even if it only touched a small amount, would see in horror that its body was quickly covered by gray rocks.

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

Both zombies and living people have been petrified. In this state, they are not afraid of being burned by fire. Moreover, the location of the "breakthrough" chosen by Mason is exquisite. Those petrified statues are just scattered and blocked the passage to the island town, killing the following zombies.

They were all stuck in the back that was already on fire.

"Your marksmanship is good!"

Constantine whistled and clapped, as if watching the fun.

Mason glanced at him and said:

"Keep throwing it away."

"Swish"

Several more bottles of potions were thrown out, and Mason blew them up one after another in the air.

He controlled the impact point and range, and used chillingly precise sniping to form a "human wall" of petrified zombies. The immovable stone statues soon completely blocked the progress of subsequent zombies.

This weak petrification potion is a by-product used by Mason to increase his proficiency. It is simple to make and has poor effects. Ordinary people will recover after being petrified for a few minutes at most, so it will not hurt if it is used as a consumable.

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

Nearly ten flying engineering bombs also formed a "swarm" under the control of the Kite Man, silently crossing the night sky and quickly rushing towards the ship behind which was still pouring out zombies.

Ten seconds later, there were several loud bangs accompanied by flames shooting into the sky. The zombies who had not 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 magnitude of the violent explosion, it seems that Charles found the gunpowder barrel on the ship and conducted a precise explosion.

Mason watched as the large group of zombies with nowhere to go turned around and rushed toward him. The young man took out a few things from his bag, placed them on the spot, and then fled.

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

The flames ignited on the ground and flew forward like a fiery snake. A few seconds later, an extremely violent explosion raised a blazing fireball on the spot, blowing away the zombies that rushed towards it.

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

The seawater rolled strangely in the night, and small tornadoes swept the water into the sky. Then they swept across the entire burning pier in a torrential rainstorm, causing the raging fire to quickly weaken and then be extinguished by subsequent raindrops.

With the cooperation of the three people, this zombie attack that might have dragged the entire Turtle Island into the abyss was contained. Constantine, who was dripping wet, walked up to Mason, pointed to the place where the explosion had just occurred and asked in surprise.

arrive:

"What kind of potion is that? Is it so powerful?"

"Those are three gasoline barrels."

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

The young man curled his lips and explained:

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

"Boss! Are you safe? The drunkards in the town rushed out to help. These cowards are so damn shameless. They dared not come out until we won."

Charles's voice came from Mason's earphones, and he said with some embarrassment:

"Also, when I fell, I collapsed the roof of a tavern and injured several people. We may have to pay for it soon."

Facts have proved that even the desperate people in the apocalypse are still reasonable, and they did not rudely demand compensation from the "Turtle Island Saviors".

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

The guys who seemed to be the leaders obviously knew their stuff.

They whispered about "witches" and carefully walked around the vivid statues of living people, then wielded their swords and guns to chop the stone statues of zombies to the ground.

"Ah, powerful wizards, thank you for putting out the trouble caused by these damn ghouls. You saved the town and are the great benefactors of all of us.

We all want to thank you both and that strange guy who fell."

A guy with a wooden prosthetic leg attached to his lame leg, a pirate's hook on his left hand, and a blind eye walked forward and warmly welcomed Mason and Zacon.

This guy should be a prominent figure on Turtle Island.

In fact, just by looking at his image, one can tell that he is a pirate captain.

"Just verbal thanks?"

Zha Kang picked up his pipe, flicked his fingers to create a small floating fireball, lit the cigarette, and said in a long voice:

"How about something practical?"

This move made the pirate in front of him a little afraid. He turned around and discussed with a few guys dressed as businessmen behind him, and then said with a smile on his face:

"Turtle Island is a generous place. You two adults, in order to thank you for your assistance, you can take whatever you want from the dock warehouse and take it away as long as you can carry it.

Also, are we lucky enough to know the names of these two people? I haven’t heard of them in this sea area for thirty years.”

"Shua"

Mason threw something to the guy who was testing their identity.

The latter looked down and found that it was a well-made voodoo doll. He quickly turned to the back and took a look at the markings that only pirates could understand.

His expression changed.

As if touching charcoal, he quickly returned the voodoo doll to Mason with both hands, and whispered in a more flattering tone:

"It turned out to be a man from the Queen Anne's Revenge. To be honest, I still have some friendship with the cunning and evil Captain Barbossa."

"Really? But I have no friendship with him."

Mason took back Old K’s voodoo doll, put on his airs and said coldly:

"I am friends with Edward Teach, not Barbossa! I heard that my friend was dead and his famous ship was taken away, so I came.

Tell me, pirate, where is Barbossa?"

The old pirate in front of him bent even deeper.

Sweat oozed from the dark faces full of scars and wrinkles. From the sounds of these two guys, they have great backgrounds. Do they not even take the legendary pirate Barbossa, who is currently the most popular at sea, in their eyes?

And it sounds like this matter is also related to the death of another legendary pirate "Blackbeard".

Gee, the water is so deep!

But whether it was true or not, he couldn't afford to offend such a person, so he could only laugh and say:

"That old dog Barbossa is heading towards Turtle Island with his fleet, Lord Wizard. You can stay here for a few days and then 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 the next few days."

"Um."

Mason entered the "drama queen" state, waved his hand and said coldly:

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

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

Otherwise my friend will be very unhappy."

After Mason finished speaking, Zha Kang, who was very aware of the power of a fox and a tiger, immediately sneered a few times in cooperation.

He is very good at being a villain and pretending to be a ghost.

With a flick of the finger, the green fireflies turned into screaming skeletons and rushed towards the crowd and exploded with blazing sparks, causing the unlucky ones to roll and scream.

Now no one doubts Mason and Zacon's "wizard" identities.

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

"Meow~"

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

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

The old pirate could no longer hold back the horror in his heart and hurriedly took two steps back.

He looked at the two mysterious "wizards" in front of him in horror. At this moment when all the survivors regarded "ghouls" as wild beasts, how could anyone dare to take the initiative to tame this doomsday beast that brings death?

Can't afford it!

Confirmed, this is really untouchable.

"Go away! Don't bother me."

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

At this moment, the petrified living people also recovered, lying on the ground trembling one by one, not daring to raise their heads to look at the terrifying wizard.

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

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

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

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

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

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

When the latter took it in his hand, he could tell at a glance that it was the evil way of the Voodoo sect. An old friend of Zha Kang's, Midnight's Daddy, who ran a nightclub in New York, was a priest of the Voodoo sect.

But the voodoo doll in Mason's hands is obviously older and more evil.

"Let's go and count the harvest."

Mason glanced at the zombie corpses gathered around and set ablaze, and then at the burning stranded ships behind him. He and Zha Kang walked towards the dock warehouse that had been burned out for more than half.

These pirates were so stingy and cunning that they actually gave this thing as a thank you to the benefactor who had just saved them.

but

"There are actually 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 from a half-burned box, looked at it, and said to Mason:

"The quality is good! It is an authentic product that has been enchanted and should be valuable anywhere, but now it is just thrown away casually in a warehouse guarded by pirates.

Look here, any place where a mule is buried is more elaborate than this!

Don't they know the value of this thing?

Or don’t you care at all?”

Mason kicked open the cracked box on the ground and picked up a piece of ore that emitted yellow fluorescence in the dark. Soon an information label popped up:

Blood of the Mountains

Quality: fine minerals

Usage: If you have the right tools, you can get magic metal after smelting. After professional screening, you have a chance to get magic gems for jewelry processing. After professional grinding, you can use it for alchemy or make sand and graphite water for inscription engraving.

Tips: If you hold jewelry processing branch items, the jewelry processing branch skills will be enabled. Currently, it is Lv0.

"boom"

The red magic fire jumped out from Mason's fingers and began to burn the raw ore in his hand. While he was trying to smelt the ore, he said to Zha Kang who was constantly "hunting for treasure":

"Do you think this is strange? John, think more about the background of the world."

Mason shook his head and said:

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

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

They brought out their most cherished treasure!

Now the entire world's wealth is gathered on this sea, and the things in the warehouse in front of us are just the most insignificant bits of those 'doomsday treasures'.

Not even 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 having these things?

In this situation, the priceless magic thread is not as valuable as a moldy bite of bread.

This island is a great treasure."

The young man looked at the stones in his hands that were being peeled off by the demonic fire and the small pieces of metal that were gradually taking shape. He smiled in the dark warehouse.

Say softly:

"As for how much you can get from this treasure house, it's up to you and me, John."

PS:

It will be released next Friday, with a minimum of 50 updates. I will think about the specific situation and come up with a charter and let you know in advance. Please prepare monthly tickets and other things in advance.
