When facing the attack from the ship's doctor Xingxingzi, Heichenshi discovered that the bastard he bought was better and smarter than what the auction house described.
The puppy is only four months old, but it can understand human language and react differently depending on the situation.
Cats and dogs are pets that only the nobles in the upper seas are qualified to keep.
This was not only Hei Chenshi's first time raising a dog, but also his first time handling a real puppy.
There were hidden dangers on the ship and he couldn't trust his subordinates.
But Black Pearl is not a human, he is just a dog.
That thing on the boat should only affect people, not dogs.
.
With the loyal little black dog guarding the night, Heichenshi's tense nerves gradually relaxed.
He slept deeply and had many dreams.
The content of the dream was confusing.
There are memories of childhood and being on a pirate ship.
It is unknown when the crew members on the ship will suddenly mutate.
This change is not only reflected in the body, but also in the spirit.
A good brother who had been drinking with me the day before suddenly started attacking people around him at night.
The reasons for their attacks varied.
Some people are jealous that others are prettier than themselves, so they scratch their faces with knives.
There were people who had an argument with others and then deliberately pushed them into the sea.
There are also people like Xingxingzi who already have fantasies about limb regeneration technology and may suddenly become extremely paranoid one day.
Talking about limb regeneration technology everywhere
How nice it would be to force everyone to regenerate together.
Originally, Heichenshi thought that this was just a personal problem among the crew members and a personal grudge.
Out of caution, he still sent people to investigate secretly for a while.
The more he investigated, the more frightened he became.
Those who suddenly became extreme and even started attacking other crew members all had more or less abnormal changes in their bodies.
Such as milky white patches on the skin, tumors on the legs, and changes in eye color.
What made Heichenshi most uneasy was that the crew members who had undergone mutations seemed to have no visible changes in their bodies.
In other words, they believe these changes are normal.
As the captain, Hei Chenshi knew very well that panic must not be allowed to spread on the pirate ship.
So he blocked the news and began to investigate the runaway crew privately.
As time passed, the mutated crew members he had locked up gradually turned into clam-like monsters right under his nose.
Heichenshi thought that someone with bad intentions had sneaked into the ship and poisoned the crew.
They found reasons to conduct several major inspections of the pirate ship and its crew.
The examination results showed that only the ship's doctors were still researching limb regeneration potions, and the rest of the crew members had no contact with this stuff at all.
The ship doctor's medicines were strictly controlled and the quantities were just right, so no one used them privately.
The problem isn't within the Corsair.
Pirate ships spend most of their time sailing on the sea, and only stop at nearby port cities when replenishing supplies.
Heichenshi suspected that an infectious disease had broken out in one of the coastal cities they passed through.
There was no news at sea, and he could no longer return to his previous city to search for the source of infection one by one.
So he found an excuse to isolate all the crew members who had mutated, and asked the ship's doctor to take all protective measures, investigate the cause of the crew's mutation, and determine whether there was an infectious disease on the ship.
At the same time, the pirate ship was disinfected multiple times using existing methods, and items used by the mutated crew were burned to prevent the virus from spreading through contact.
When they arrived at the next port city, Hei Chenshi immediately spent a large sum of money to buy a brand new pirate ship that had never been used by anyone.
Transfer all crew members who have not shown any abnormalities to the new pirate ship to ensure their safety.
Heichenshi reacted quickly. From the discovery of the anomaly to the replacement of the ship, it took less than half a month in total.
He did everything he could, but some crew members on the ship would still mutate without warning.
He couldn't understand what was going on.
If the problem lies with humans, why did the virus continue to spread after he dealt with all the mutant members and thoroughly cleaned up their belongings?
if
The problem lies with the pirate ship itself, so why did the mutation still occur after he replaced it with a brand new one?
Does this virus have an incubation period? Can it remain dormant in the human body for months or even years?
Or maybe it's not an infectious disease, but something else, like a curse?
Hei Chenshi was unable to find the root of the problem, and if he continued to mess around, the crew members would also notice something was wrong.
In order to avoid wasting manpower and financial resources on useless work and to prevent panic from spreading, he could only put the matter aside temporarily.
Heichenshi also thought that since the ship was so unsafe, he should give up his position as captain and settle on land.
But after passing through several port cities and collecting intelligence on those island countries, he quickly gave up the idea.
The three island nations in the Lower Sea have begun proposing that all citizens be injected with an improved version of the limb regeneration drug.
Although the policy has not yet been implemented, it is only a matter of time before it is enforced.
It won’t be long before the Lower Sea Area becomes a world of razor clam monsters, and no human beings will be seen again.
Black Stone cannot stay here.
These crew members followed him, and as the captain, he was responsible for them.
Even if he couldn't protect all the crew members, he would do his best to get them out of the inferior waters.

The scenes in the dream were chaotic.
Hei Chenshi sometimes dreamed about the past, sometimes dreamed about his failed escape and all the crew members turned into razor clam monsters.
From time to time, he dreamed that he was unable to dodge Xingxingzi's attack and was forcefully injected with a potion, turning him into a monster.
