On the contrary, that kind of pure pride without any inferiority complex breeds the light of compassion.Today, his temper is actually much better than that of the inferior who possesses the power of "empty and silent".

It was the inferior one... After the irrational mania of the past faded away, the emptiness lingering in his heart made him even more irritable.However, the strong sense of emptiness that doesn't care about anything and that nothing can satisfy makes him look at things extremely rationally.Because he doesn't care about anything, this also makes his perspective wider and farther... Things that he had never seen before can be easily understood after calming down.

After that, the inferior also understood how naive and stupid he was before.

The former bad guys are actually cold-faced and kind-hearted.But now, although his expression is calm and his face is no longer stinky, his heart has become indifferent... And because he cared too much about everything, he was deceived and teased by almost everyone. .

Now that he has become a "Silent Voice", after losing his warmth, impatience, and short-sightedness, he has also gained the opposite ability.

If you want to say that the inferior and the strangulation have something in common...

That is, they have all stepped into the exact opposite of who they were a year ago.

If you tell the bird of Paradise, she will not believe it-this tough guy lion with scars on his body is actually only 28 years old this year; in the past, he always had a stinky face, like the "big senior" who is the only one in heaven and earth. "The inferior one is actually only 26 years old.

In the words of Russell Education Paradise Bird, it is: "Young people in their 20s can easily encounter things that reshape their past outlook on life. It's not that they are too fickle, but that they have not yet been finalized."

Russell still has a saying about their combination now.

— called "brainless and unhappy."

Chapter 24 Mr. Pilot Whale

There is a very wonderful coincidence here-that is, before the inferior met Russell a year ago, he was the "brainless" who didn't think about anything; Pain and anger...he was the "unhappy".

But now, the situation has been completely reversed: strangling's temper has improved, his leadership has become stronger, but his intelligence has declined; With a stinky face and temper, he got a brain that he never used before.

Now when they were traveling together, the planner was the one who hadn't made up his mind when he was in Execution.

The strangulation is responsible for the contact with people... If it is not necessary, the inferior will not speak or make a sound in front of other people.

So after paying the money and checking out the house, the scarred lion head, who looked extremely unfriendly, asked the proprietress for information about Yongquan Island kindly and calmly.

"Where to play? Here on Yongquan Island, there are fun everywhere. There are so many guests."

The proprietress with a fish head on her neck can even spit out the fishy smell of seafood when she speaks, and has a strange "dialect" taste.

"Have you been here for a long time? If you have enough time, you must go to the Dead Sea area to try the salt bath. Pickling is good for your body. Take a boat from the Lake Michigan area, and then pass the Lake Victoria area, which is the Dead Sea area."

"By boat?"

"Well, there is a boat at the door. Come every 15 minutes."

"...Then what if we want to take the subway? Where should we get on?"

As soon as Strangling heard about taking a boat, he knew that most of the inferiors would not be able to go.

"...the subway?"

The proprietress even froze for a moment when she heard the term.

She pondered for a while, and suddenly realized: "You mean the waterway? We definitely don't have any iron, that kind of thing will be worn through by rust. But the waterway is really too dangerous for you non-aquatic relatives. , Once you fall, you may drown.

"But if you must go, just turn left and walk to the end."

"But what if one of us gets seasick?"

"If you get seasick, you can only go in water. There is no other way."

"Isn't it okay to take a taxi? Is there no floating car?"

"Hey, you think you are in the Caspian Sea area, and you still have a floating car. There is no such thing. You must at least get the inner ring area, so that the floating car can be parked there. Look, you go out and have a look, How do we park here?"

Feeling that the chat may be endless, so strangling politely bid farewell to the nagging lady boss.But the bad one didn't say a word the whole time, just stood quietly behind the strangler, motionless, like a dummy.

If it is put before, it may be that the strangulation is about to be shot.

Even if his pride prevents him from being violent to civilians who did not attack him, he will definitely scare people or threaten them.

While sighing in their hearts, they walked out.

And they were immediately dumbfounded——

I saw that there was only less than three meters of road at the entrance of the hotel, and there was a big river at least 30 meters wide at the entrance—to them, this was already quite a "big river".

Under the street lights in the middle of the night, the surface of the water shone with golden light.

Where the river meets the road, there is a circle of handrails around it. There are only a few places... For example, there is an area without handrails at the entrance of the store, and there are wooden stakes for tying boats.This should be specially reserved for people on board.The water surface is only about one meter above the roadside, not even close enough.

On both sides of the river are various types of boats, but basically none of them are fast, and they are all "sightseeing boats".And there are lights on the bow and stern of these ships, which can be seen clearly from a distance, and their lights illuminate the water surface even more.Warm golden lights illuminate the entire city from the shore and the water.

The passage of these ships is extremely orderly.Looking across the river from the direction of the inferiors and strangling them, the boats on the side close to them pass from left to right; on the side far away from them, they pass from right to left... just like It is the same as driving on the road of Happy Island, driving on the right side.

Connecting the two banks of the river is a tall arch bridge.There are also pedestrians walking on it...

But more pedestrians are "swimming in the water".

The speed of those boats is not fast enough, obviously to avoid these pedestrians, or "tourists" in the water.On both sides of the big river, the combined width occupied by these small boats is less than ten meters.All the rest are reserved for these "tourists".

These people are the type with severe spirituality visible to the naked eye, and it is difficult to survive on land.They swam in the water, but they were so comfortable and carefree.

"At noon... is there a river here?"

Strangled murmured.

A very tall and fat giant had just swam up from the river.

He was at least three meters tall, with a very large head and a hairless scalp that was unusually smooth.Just by standing next to the stranglers and the inferiors, he made them feel more stressed.And this heavyweight fat boy was quite relaxed when swimming in the river, but he began to pant a little when he landed, and walking was obviously a bit difficult and cumbersome.

"Don't you know?"

The giant said in an extremely thick and loud voice, so loud that even the people on the other side could hear it: "Lake Michigan was restricted yesterday and today, and the water was released at six o'clock."

"Limit line?"

"Oh, you are tourists, right? Did you arrive at noon today? Oh... I understand, you are seasick, hahahahaha!"

The giant was stunned for a moment, then realized that he couldn't help laughing.The laughter directly spread to the front desk of the hotel, and the proprietress couldn't help covering her mouth.

After laughing, the giant pointed out in a friendly manner: "Then you have to be careful, don't go to the Caspian Sea area today. Every fourteen days in our area, there is a waterway in an area that needs to be drained. It needs to be repurified and The oxygen will be refilled after the oxygen is injected, otherwise the water will be dirty and you will easily get sick. And the inside of the waterway must be cleaned... There are always immoral people who like to litter. The [-] districts of Yongquan Island happen to come in a circle.

"How about you go down and experience it? It's rare that the water has just been released, and it's very clean. Even if it accidentally floods, it's okay to drink directly, hahahahaha!"

The giant laughed and patted his fat belly.

"...I have a question, but it might not be polite."

The inferior did not speak, and his voice came directly from his throat: "If you can answer, I would like to ask... Is your soul relative a whale?"

"In fact, we also know a friend who has a cetacean soul relative. Rather, it is precisely because of this that we thought of coming to Yongquan Island."

The strangulation made a steady voice, and immediately found a way for the inferior.

"Hahahaha, sure enough, I look like a whale too, right! They also said that I don't look like anything—what's wrong with me!"

Unexpectedly, the giant became happier because of this.

He patted his stomach more cheerfully, and said cheerfully: "Then you can treat me as a 'pill whale'! I don't care about such things... If you get lost, just come and ask me anytime! "

With that said, he threw one of his business cards to Hang Hang, and happily walked into the hotel.

"Riko, let's start with five catties of fried small fish for an appetizer!"

He shouted energetically, his voice came through very clearly.

The voice of the proprietress also came from inside vaguely: "Are the ingredients still the same as before?"

"It's the same, the salad dressing is full, and a pinch of shochu, hahahahahaha!"

The giant's hearty laughter came from inside.

And Stretch looked at the inferior with some doubts: "Is there a whale like a round-headed whale? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"I never went to school, you ask me?"

"That's a coincidence, I haven't even been on it."

The two stared wide-eyed, and finally strangled to break the silent atmosphere: "There are many kinds of marine life, and it's normal for us not to know each other."

"That's right."

The bad ones follow the good ones and nod their heads in agreement.

Chapter 25 Is it fun?Can you play?Never played before?

It is very unfortunate news that there is no subway in Yongquan Island...

But they still have to go to the Dead Sea.

Not because they really want to soak in salt water.But according to the information they got, the branch of the "Fuji Society" in Yongquan Island mainly occupies the tourism industry.

The real core business of Yongquan Island is outside the island - monopolizing the world's fishery can only be regarded as a drizzle.

Manganese nodules, deep-sea oil and gas, and hydrothermal deposits and other seabed resources...including all kinds of coal, oil, and natural gas on the ground, as well as heavy metal resources including gold and uranium.As the only empty island with giant dragons in command, they naturally got the fattest piece of cake.

Because of this, Yongquan Island does not need any particularly developed and unique technology at all, nor does it need to monopolize any industry at all... because they have already monopolized the most important things in the world.

That's the resource—

Not just "energy", but "resources".The daily needs of the other six empty islands are all provided by them.

It is precisely because of this that the "inner" life of Yongquan Island is quite comfortable... The living atmosphere here is obviously different from that of other empty islands, and there is no such "hurry" feeling at all.It's more like an ocean paradise, or a place to retire after retirement.

The faces of the people on the road showed an obvious carefree and relaxed expression.

Even on a weekday evening like Tuesday, there are many "salamanders" chasing and laughing in the river.

These children with fish heads or fish bodies swam noisily, stirring up waves of white waves, or directly scooped up a fluff of water with their hands and sprinkled it on their companions, or directly splashed it on the road to walk on the "passers-by".

If they were on other empty islands, they would definitely be angry if they were splashed with water for no reason... But the residents of Yongquan Island were not angry at all, and they didn't even have the idea of ​​avoiding them at all.Instead, they happily took the water, and even happily said "thank you" to the children.Afterwards, I watched the stirred up waves fall in the warm light in the evening, and shattered into countless rippling pieces of gold.

...Thinking about it carefully, this is actually quite reasonable.

Because whether on the street or in the river, these people are very standard "aquatic species".

Either have scales, or fins, or beards, or tails.For them, water is not a dangerous thing to avoid, but an intimate necessity of life.

Those who look completely different from human beings have a very large number of severe spiritual diseases. At a rough look, the proportion is even more than 30%.In other words, one out of every three people has completely deviated from the appearance of a human being... The poor ones even caught a real "mermaid" with sharp eyes and swam across the river.

And among those who haven't broken away from the appearance of human beings and only have some characteristics of spiritual relatives, all of them are aquatic products without exception.

In Happy Island, only 1.5% of patients suffer from severe dementia.And those who are willing to go out to show their faces are far less than this proportion.

"……Did you discover it?"

The poor one didn't open his mouth, and a metallic sound came out of his throat: "The cats, cats and dogs that can be seen everywhere, can't be seen here at all..."

"All of them are aquatic products... with very few exceptions, they seem to be tourists." Hang Zhan looked around calmly, looking at the beautiful night scene.

"No wonder. They can recognize us as passengers from other sky islands at a glance." The inferior replied.

"That is to say, if we want to do something bad, it will be easy to be discovered." Hang Shui narrowed his eyes, subconsciously remembering the path he had traveled, and preparing for the time to escape.

But to be honest, he didn't think he could escape here.

The roads here are all rivers... For those who can't swim, or whose swimming speed is too slow, it can be said that walking is difficult.

"Not necessarily..."

The inferior looked up at the streets and alleys, pursed his lips tightly, and showed a serious expression: "Didn't you notice that it is different from the biggest one in other empty islands?"

"what?"

"Cameras, stupid lion. We've been walking for almost half an hour, and I only saw one set of cameras."

"Are you sure you didn't notice?"

"Impossible. Things like street view cameras can't be installed anywhere...Don't think of this kind of thing as a body-worn pinhole camera for detectives. It's high enough, and the angle of view covers as wide a range as possible. area, and there has to be somewhere to run the wires. I've checked every possible surveillance location, and all I can see is a set of cameras...

"If it is according to the style of Happy Island, there should be fifty or sixty on the way we have traveled. At least."

"That is to say, there are a lot of monitoring blind spots here?"

"It's also suitable for killing..."

The inferior replied softly.

While talking, they arrived at the rapid transportation device called "Waterway".

And the face of the inferior became visibly ugly to the naked eye.

I saw that the so-called "water channel" is a huge magnetized water pipe - its thickness can probably fill the "ground iron" directly into it.

Inside, there were many people wrapped in transparent bubbles, galloping past inside.
