Chapter 9: Strange Stories on the Ship

For the next two days, Li Weiyi did not get out of bed and looked sick.

In fact, he was completely immersed in the exploration of the extraordinary realm, and the number of silver veins in his body increased to thirteen, which meant that he had thirteen routes for moving qi.

After many attempts, no method was found to increase the number of silver veins again.

Fortunately, the thirteen veins have initially covered the entire body. Using them as channels for the hot air flow to nourish the blood, flesh, tendons and bones, Li Weiyi has completely transformed in just two days. His ears and eyes have become sharp, his five senses have become sharp, and his body functions have increased to an unknown extent.

There seemed to be endless strength in his body, as if he could kill a cow with one punch.

The recovery speed of the left arm injury was incredibly fast. The wound had healed and scabbed, and I could lift and grasp things easily. As long as I didn't use too much force, there would be no pain.

Such a speed of self-healing is completely beyond common sense and incomprehensible.

Li Weiyi estimated that with the nourishment of the scorching air currents, he would be able to fully recover in two or three days.

If he didn't want to hide his strength and avoid being suspected of swallowing the Buddha's relics, Li Weiyi would have wanted to go outside to test his current physical fitness. He felt that his current speed and strength would probably scare himself.

However, these two days he got hungry very quickly and had a strong appetite, and he could never feel full no matter what he ate.

This was in stark contrast to Professor Xu, who had no appetite in the bed next to him. Therefore, most of the food that the students brought to Professor Xu ended up in his mouth.

"We can't open up any more silver veins, so we'll stop our extraordinary exploration for now. Let's go outside and see what the bronze ship is like... and find something to eat."

In the past two days, he only heard everyone say that "the bronze ships are huge and sometimes get lost in the fog", "the tomb forest is weird and there are strange noises from time to time", "the corpse of the Golden Crow is as huge as a mountain, its brilliance illuminates the darkness, and its heat resists the cold" ... and so on, but he had no idea in his mind.

His injuries were about to heal, and with extraordinary strength at his disposal, Li Weiyi felt more confident and no longer felt the confusion and anxiety he had felt two days ago.

People's self-confidence may come from sufficient capital, superior strength, or solid backing. It is not a castle in the air. Just give him a word of encouragement and he will immediately become confident.

The first tree to stick its head out gets shot. Li Weiyi didn't want to be pushed to the forefront for being too special, so he pretended to be a normal injured person, sitting up with difficulty and slowly finding the ground with his feet.

"Brother Li, what are you doing out of bed? Do you need help?"

Gao Huan's injury was not too serious. The sprained neck had recovered, and his broken right arm was still tied with a wooden board and wrapped in gauze. He also got up and prepared to urinate.

Li Weiyi and Gao Huan walked out of the medical tent together.

When he saw the scene on the bronze deck outside, even though he was mentally prepared, Li Weiyi was still shocked, and a chill ran up his spine to his forehead.

The view in front of me was like the underworld, full of tombstones, graves, ghost flags, prayer flags, and a dark fog that severely limited my vision. Above me were dark clouds that were very close to the deck, pressing down on my head, giving me an extremely depressing and dull feeling.

They said before that they could only see three or four rows of graves within the field of vision, and entering the tomb forest was like entering a maze.

Li Weiyi's eyes were nourished by the hot air flow, so he could see farther.

Seven or eight rows of graves are in full view, and there is no fog within a hundred meters.

However, the width of the deck alone reaches 500 meters, and it still has a mysterious and deep feeling of "it's right in the mountains, so deep in the clouds that we don't know where it is", which makes people feel awe.

The only source of light was the corpse of the Golden Crow that many members of the expedition had mentioned. It was said that it was extremely shocking to observe it up close. Although it had been dead for countless years, its feathers were still extremely hot and shining brightly.

But Li Weiyi could only see a large area of ​​dark red light through the distant fog.

Like a dark red mountain, the outline and details of the corpse cannot be seen clearly.

"In the beginning, there was no such thick fog on the bronze ship. It was only after the ship set sail that the fog became thicker and thicker."

"I heard that a lot of strange things happened. Someone encountered a ghost camel caravan in the cemetery. The camel bells rang, and finally the camel caravan walked into a tombstone with a ghost flag and disappeared."

"Someone else said that once when they were walking in the cemetery, they heard the sound of iron chains and claws scratching metal deep underground. The interior of this ship is probably filled with unknown horrors, but no one knows how to get in. They can't find the entrance at all."

"We have definitely fallen into the legendary underworld. Remember the giant beast Jiuying that overturned the research ship? It was captured by a golden claw. I tell you, it was definitely Kunpeng's claw."

"How big is Kunpeng? I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. Zhuangzi saw it with his own eyes when he was dreaming about the underworld."

"The underworld is terrifying and vast. It invaded the Earth during the Xia and Shang dynasties. At that time, the gods on Earth thought it was a demon that escaped from the North Sea. No one could have imagined that the underworld was hidden in the microcosm."

…

After he urinated, Gao Huan pulled Li Weiyi aside to talk about some random myths and legends and his own conjectures. When he asked him where he knew them, he mentioned some unpopular book titles that Li Weiyi had never heard of.

I went to the kitchen shed to find some food and filled my stomach.

The two passed by a small new graveyard, and Gao Huan was a little disappointed: "When we set out, there were 117 people on the Dragon Extreme, but only 82 survived, and more than a dozen of them were seriously injured."

There are three medical tents on the deck.

The medical tent where Li Weiyi and Gao Huan were located was close to the side of the ship and was just one of them.

"Being alive is not necessarily a blessing." Li Weiyi felt very heavy when he thought that in the near future, conflicts might break out among the people on the ship due to shortage of food and water, and then they might go towards destruction step by step.

The microscopic world must be different from the Earth. If there is no land to dock on, they will not be able to hold out for long with the current supplies.

Li Weiyi heard that the scientific expedition team used a rope to tie an iron bucket and tried to fetch water from the dark and invisible sea. They lowered it more than a hundred meters before they found the sea surface.

But they encountered a huge force that almost pulled the team members who were fetching water under. This happened every time they tried.

You can hear the waves, but you can't pump water up.

There are unknown dangers in the sea.

"You are absolutely right!"

Gao Huan looked around and whispered, "I heard that in order to solve the problem of food and water, the top management decided to test and experiment on the blood from the bodies of the Golden Crow and the Black Dragon. Dr. Cai personally conducted the test and gave the test results yesterday. I don't know if it can be drunk directly."

"I also heard that Xie Tianshu proposed to use those seriously injured people for experiments. If successful, the seriously injured people might be able to recover. If it fails, it can also save a lot of food and water."

"But this proposal was collectively opposed by the top leaders. In my opinion, it will be implemented sooner or later. When food and water are running low and the living environment deteriorates, they will pretend to ask the seriously injured for their wishes. In fact, the seriously injured have no other choice at all."

"Once the seriously injured are used up, it will be the turn of the old, weak, sick and disabled like us. People eat each other everywhere, and the social classes are clearly divided into different levels."

Li Weiyi said: "Maybe there is another way."

Gao Huan was very curious and asked, "What method?"

Li Weiyi pointed to the tall pile of graves in front.

Cai Yutong was seen leading more than a dozen scientific expedition team members digging the grayish-white soil on the grave mound and spreading it into three plots of about half an acre on the deck near the side of the ship.

Next to the field, several bags of potato, sweet potato and various vegetable seeds were prepared.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Several buckets of blood from the corpses of the Black Dragon and the Golden Crow were prepared on the side.

Gao Huan laughed out loud: "Dr. Cai has a solution. Yes, we can use plants for experiments first. Besides, there is still enough water on the research ship. We can grow some vegetables and fruits and be self-sufficient."

Cai Yutong heard the laughter and looked at the two of them. Then, she walked over with a sullen face and said, "Who told you to leave the medical tent? The wind on the deck is so cold. You are weak. Can you bear it? You are a little better now, and you are making trouble?"

"I'm talking about you!" Li Weiyi whispered.

Gao Huan was stunned. He met Cai Yutong's gaze and explained with some stammering: "I'm not that weak. I didn't do anything wrong. I just came out to pee..."

"None of your business."

When she got one or two steps closer, Cai Yutong scolded and warned him again, wishing she could send Li Weiyi back to the medical tent with her eyes.

This senior student has a stronger personality.

But she gave him blood transfusions and took care of him, so in front of her, Li Weiyi really didn't have much temper.

After letting her scold him enough, Li Weiyi said in a gentle enough tone: "Senior sister, you have been a little emotionally unstable recently. If you feel stressed or need help, please tell me in time. Maybe I can help."

Li Weiyi thought that the reason why Cai Yutong was so "violent" was probably because the leaders put too much pressure on her. Maybe someone had forced her to use living people for experiments.

Gao Huan obviously misunderstood and said immediately: "Drink more hot water and keep warm."

By the time Cai Yutong reacted, the two had already quickly slipped away.

"It's so scary! Brother Li, listen to my advice. No matter how beautiful she is or how good her figure is, you can't marry a female doctor." Gao Huan said with lingering fear.

Li Weiyi smiled and said, "You have a big misunderstanding. We are just alumni and have only known each other for a few days."

"Alumni? How can a simple alumni care about you so much? She talked to you more than she talked to everyone else combined, and she even fed you fish soup. There are a lot of classmates on the boat with me, who do you think will bring me fish soup? Not to mention feeding me!" Gao Huan said.

"Senior sister is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, that's her personality."

Li Weiyi looked at the dark red light patch in the fog in the distance, which was as big as a mountain, and couldn't help but feel curious: "I want to see the corpses of the black dragon and the golden crow."

In his mind, he recalled the strange scene he saw on the bronze ship when his body kept shrinking after falling into the Arctic Ocean.

When it was clearest, the bronze ship, as big as a fishing boat, appeared before him.

He clearly saw that there were two forces, the Immortal Light and the Dark Mist, covering the ship. The Immortal Light was located at the stern of the ship, where there was a unique and gorgeous ancient building, like a palace where gods lived.

What on earth is there? "Come on, I haven't seen them with my own eyes either. They are the two legendary beasts. How do you think they died? Why are they still glowing and emitting heat after death?"

"It's incredible. This ship must have come from some magnificent and desolate world, and it might be taking us there."

Gao Huan was very excited. He walked towards the dark red light spot at the stern with Li Weiyi and said, "In fact, given your special relationship with Dr. Cai, you should secretly go and get the real news. If the blood of the Golden Crow and the Black Dragon is really drinkable, let's drink a few cups of it first. It's no different from taking elixirs, right? Who knows, the arm might be restored to its original state the next day."

Li Weiyi said, "Senior and I really don't have any special relationship! Besides, if the blood of the Golden Crow and the Black Dragon can be drunk directly, why would Senior Sister bring people to open up wasteland and plant it?"

Gao Huan had another brilliant idea: "Woman, don't listen to what she says, and don't watch what she does. You have to make her fall in love with you wholeheartedly, and then she will lose her mind and tell you the truth. Who can prove that Dr. Cai didn't secretly drink the blood and then tell everyone that Golden Crow Blood and Black Dragon Blood can't be drunk."

"Youyi, I'm a few years older than you, and I know the true colors of these women too well. On weekdays, I'm smiling and having a deep friendship with you, but when you're injured and lying in bed, I won't even give you fish soup."

Li Weiyi felt that Gao Huan was too concerned about Yu Tang, and said, "Actually... Yu Tang, your injury is not serious, you can go to the kitchen by yourself. The classmates are all very busy, so it is inevitable that they did not take care of you."

Gao Yutang thought about it carefully and reluctantly accepted Li Weiyi's guess.

…

If the number of collections exceeds 100,000, an additional chapter will be added.

There are manuscripts saved, so be willful! (End of this chapter)
