Chapter 254
"It's strange. We're already parked near the pirate island, so how come there are still pirate ships attacking at night?" Xia Beibei took a big bite of the meat bun. These pirates are too unethical.
"It's also our carelessness. We never thought that since these pirates can resist collectively, they can change the existing rules. I estimate that there will be no safe areas in the future." Qiao Sheng sighed, saying that it is very likely that they will have to live a life of night watch in the future.
Before they finished their meal, the monk ran to the door of the warm room and stretched out his bear paw to indicate that they were attacked by the enemy. The four people who were originally sitting cross-legged on the kang resigned themselves to their fate and put down the half-eaten meat bun in their hands, got off the kang, put on their shoes, and prepared to start fighting.
Qiao Sheng casually put the uneaten meat bun into the ring space. The reason for not putting it away was that she couldn't tell the difference if she put it away, so it was better to leave it outside and heat it up later.
The battle didn't last long. There were only three pirate ships. After the fight, they boarded the pirate ship on a small floating board, collected the pirate token and the pirate ship's flag, and dismantled the pirate ship.
Recently, they found a new use for the pirate token. It was made of wood and could be used as fuel for the brazier. It was much more economical than using charcoal and wood boards. It was also a disguised waste utilization. Otherwise, it would just be a waste that took up space if it was kept in the storage box.
The pirate ship flags now have a new use. The fabric is good. Some players with good hands patched and sewed new cotton-padded clothes and trousers, which are much stronger than the cotton cloth they dyed casually.
So those players who couldn't grab Li Mu's order finally found a home for these flags.
Back on the ship, I was too lazy to heat it up, so I just ate the half-cold meat bun with hot soup. I also ate up the food that Qiao Sheng had put in the ring space.
Even so, they were not full, so they took two plates of dumplings that they had set aside before, and the four of them were full. After the monks finished their dinner, they were still prying at the door, and one of them even shared two roasted sweet potatoes before they calmed down.
"I don't exercise well when I eat half a meal, and my appetite has increased. I can eat enough with the original amount, so how can I not eat enough?" Lin Haiyang's cooking skills, which he has always been proud of, were rubbed to the ground. At this time, he can only attribute it to the battle.
In the days that followed, the four people were so busy with the animals at home. The previous twelve-hour shift of two people was changed to six hours per person, also because the improved crossbow cart is really powerful now. As long as the number of pirate ships encountered is less than five, it can be solved by one person.
However, if there are more, we need to call other people together, but fortunately this situation is not common.
This time, the night watch is rotated, one person for six hours, and there is no fixed person to watch the night shift. As a result, no one is idle, and everyone is very busy. Fortunately, the time is not too long, so they can take care of both.
Li Mu also talked to Pei Hong and Shen Li. The advantage of having more people was particularly obvious at this time. However, it was not easy for them. Even though Li Mu arranged improved crossbow vehicles for them, they could not be installed in large quantities due to material reasons. There were only one or two vehicles. The effect was there, but not very obvious.
Days passed, and all the players were working hard to attack the pirate island. The effect was also very obvious. It took an autumn to clear half of the pirate island. After Li Mu deciphered the cipher message and obtained the coordinates, the remaining half was cleared even if these pirates rebelled.
All players also cleared the other half of the pirate island at the end of the second month of winter.
Qiao Sheng and his team started to worry when they saw the 998 pirate base flags they had exchanged. The last island was really big, and it was hard to say how many pirates were inside. It was hard to clean up the island based on its size, and it was the last island.
They even sorted all the pirate base flags and found that the only one missing was the one with number 1.
"It must be a hard bone, no need to think about it." Xia Beibei slumped on the sofa, holding a small iron basin of fresh strawberries in his hand. It's especially delicious to eat off-season fruits.
Everyone had thought of this situation, so after Li Mu discussed with Pei Hong and Shen Li's fleets, they decided to take on the power of all the players and everyone went together to take down the island in a wheel battle.
Player No. 18 still has a good appeal. He sent a message to the world channel, and players responded immediately. They planned to launch an attack on the largest island in ten days. There
were still ten days left, and Qiao Sheng and his team were not in a hurry to rush over. When the pirate islands were cleared to the last few, they consciously approached there.
According to their ship speed and distance, it only takes a day and a half to arrive. They can definitely arrive that day.
After the three fleets of Qiao Sheng, Pei Hong and Shen Li discussed, Pei Hong stood up to take charge of the overall situation this time, Shen Li supported him, and Qiao Sheng and the other four hid among other players.
Because this was the last battle, Pei Hong and Shen Li only kept some of the necessary materials, and gave the rest to Li Mu, asking him to help make crossbow carts, crossbows, and machetes.
Qiao Sheng also took out his treasury to make large-scale arrows and shells in large quantities. Thinking that they might have to go to the island to blast, they also made a lot of explosives and prepared a lot of knockout drugs. They also brought the poisonous flowers they collected on the pirate island. They
have antidote pills, but the pirates don't. When the time comes, it will be a do-or-die battle, and they will use whatever they have.
I have almost prepared it myself, and I have given Pei Hong 20 crossbow carts and Shen Li 10. This is all in preparation for the big battle, so it is not a free gift.
In the past ten days, I have encountered pirate ships from time to time, and I have dealt with them all.
On the appointed day, the four of them turned on the propulsion equipment of the boat and stood on the terrace in the cold wind, staring at the endless ocean.
"I'm a little excited when
I think about it. We'll be able to go home soon." Qiao Sheng couldn't help but smile as he held Xia Beibei's hand. "It's good to go home, but I feel a little nervous when I think about the ordinary time." Lin Haiyang stood beside Xia Beibei and secretly glanced at Li Mu, who was the farthest away from him.
"Hehe, let's see what happens when we go back. If the speed of time is the same, you would have failed the course when we go back. If the time doesn't change after we go back, you still have a chance." Li Mu stood beside Qiao Sheng and looked sideways at his students. He suddenly felt that sometimes the ordinary time is not the only criterion for measuring a student.
"I'm worried. What if I don't make the right choice when checking my scores and applying for my major? Especially since my mom wants me to study something completely different from what I want to study." Xia Beibei, who was originally very happy, suddenly remembered the bad things in reality and couldn't help but start to scratch her head.
