Chapter 61 The Shipwrecked City (Part 2)

The Black Pearl slowly drove into the gate.

If the Shipwreck City in the distance is just a dilapidated island built by countless ships like building blocks, then when you get closer and observe, you will find that it is just an illusion.

The entire Shipwreck City is divided into two parts, inside and outside. The outermost edge is an outer wall composed of large wooden ships and reef groups, and the inner circle is the main body of the city of sunken ships.

The main body of the entire Shipwreck City is a water fortress with a radius of a thousand meters, which extends upwards in a pyramid shape. The interior of each ship is connected to each other, like countless caves connected in series in a huge mountain.

The construction work of the Ship City is very consistent with the principles of architecture, and it is unique and ingenious in terms of spatial layout, combination principles and construction methods.

It is composed of thirty-two giant dragon boats. Hundreds of iron anchors under the foundation have replaced foundation piles. Some broken shipwrecks are filled with stones under the foundation, so that it can withstand any wind and waves.

About fifty medium-sized sloops constitute the main part of the first floor on the base. Each ship is equivalent to a small area, with rooms opened up, the deck is the road, and some thick masts are used as the center pillars and horizontal pillars. Staggered, as the support point of the ship city, it looks chaotic, but in fact it perfectly connects all the ships together.

Above the medium-sized ship island, there are about twenty-story small sailboats. These small sailing ships form the superstructure of the Ship City and support the three large luxury ships with larger tops. Among them, the sailboat located in the center of the top is similar in size to the Black Pearl, painted with black oil paint, it seems to be a replica of another Black Pearl.

The Black Pearl docked at the port of the dock extending from Ship City, where dozens of pirate ships had already docked. Dozens of skull flags fluttering on the mast are waving in the wind. Pirates wearing leather suits and wielding swords abound. smile.

As the Black Pearl docked, Jack Sparrow jumped onto the ship city, and said to Shen Yi and the others: "Elizabeth, Will and I went to see who came here, you guys are waiting for me here, it's best not to run around , there are no good people here, be careful to cause trouble."

"You don't have to worry about our safety." Hong Lang said disdainfully.

"I wasn't worried about you at all!" Jack Sparrow replied angrily.

Several people laughed out loud.

Watching Jack and others leave, Shen Yi thought for a while and said: "I'll go around the neighborhood, you guys are waiting for me here, Lyle, come with me."

Paratrooper Lyle was one of the few soldiers Shen Yi still brought with him.

"Good sir."

Seeing that Shen Yi followed in the footsteps of Jack Sparrow and left, Hong Lang looked at King Kong: "I said, how about we go shopping too?"

? After drifting at sea for such a long time, I still feel down-to-earth and comfortable. "

"Okay." King Kong looked around: "It looks quite lively here."

The fat man said worriedly: "Boss just said that we won't let us wander around."

Hong Lang patted Fatty on the shoulder: "Don't worry, it's just for fun. You have to understand one thing. In essence, there is no leader in Bloody City...Everyone is his own master. You can Listen to the captain's opinion, but you don't have to follow everything."

"Very good logic of disobedience." Gentlely smiled.

"You can choose not to go." Hong Lang said immediately.

Wenrou rolled her eyes: "You think beautifully, don't you know that shopping is the greatest pleasure for women? Besides, this is the city of sunken ships."

————————

After a few steps on the shore, Shen Yi discovered the biggest difference between the Shipwreck City and ordinary cities.

Since the Shipwreck City is a huge ship island, and ships are the main body of the city, the city itself is a three-dimensional city. In addition, there is no tight connection between the ship and the ship. The springboard, cables, sails, and masts are all part of the road, so it is often seen that someone is holding the cable and swinging from one ship to another, because that is road!

special construction base,

The complicated road conditions and the three-dimensional urban structure have turned the entire Shipwreck City into a huge maze. People who are not familiar with the terrain will be dizzy even if they walk in it for a few minutes.

Strolling in such a place is quite a test of one's IQ and patience, but Shen Yi likes it a lot. He didn't know if this was the deliberate layout of the pirate kings back then, or the result of unintentional insertion, but there was no doubt that this special structure itself had become the defense system of the Shipwreck City.

After walking through several blind alleys, Shen Yi simply took out his handheld computer and began to scan and record the terrain here. He explored the architectural pattern of this area while walking. After two hours, he roughly figured out this area.

Not far from the pier, there is a relatively flat and lively place, which is the commercial area of ​​Shipwreck City.

A large number of cabins have been converted into shops, selling goods from all over the world.

If Tutuga Port is the cargo distribution center of Caribbean pirates, then the Shipwreck City is the cargo distribution center of pirates all over the world. There are dirt collectors from all over the world who specialize in buying all kinds of goods at low prices, or selling to pirates the weapons, ships, equipment they need, including food, fresh water, etc.

From expensive luxuries to big deals on the necessities of life, everything is covered here.

Occasionally, some merchants would come and place an "order", specifying that certain goods or a certain ship were to be obtained. At this time, the captain needs to come to negotiate business in person.

The pirate guild formed by the nine pirate kings is the supreme master of the city of sunken ships. Without the permission of the Pirate Guild, no one can easily do business here. The pirate guild is not harmonious with each other. The pirate kings are not pleasing to anyone. It is just that it is not suitable to openly fight due to the pirate code and the guild regulations, but they never mind other people's actions. It is precisely for this reason that Jack Sparrow will sit back and watch Captain Sao Feng be killed-don't worry that the South China Pirate King will no longer exist. After the death of a pirate king, there will naturally be new people to take his place.

Strolling in the business district, Shen Yi could feel the atmosphere here was completely different from other places.

Different from the lively and peaceful atmosphere on the land, everyone here is a vicious person. Neither buyer nor seller is a good thing. The clerks in front of the shop were of course rough men, but most of the customers who came to sell or buy goods were men with knives and guns.

Therefore, it is often seen that the two sides wield swords and bargain, swearing endlessly, and even threatening their lives at every turn.

But Shen Yi's attention was not on this aspect.

His gaze stayed more on the spatial structure of the entire ship city, on the thick wooden stakes, iron chains and the ships themselves that connected the ships together.

When he walked under some supporting pillars, Shen Yi either stopped to rest for a while, or had a casual chat with Lyle, or just bought some worthless things in the store.

After walking through almost all the ground floor areas, Shen Yi finally stopped.

"See everything clearly, Lyle."

"Yes, sir, the entire Shipwreck City is fixed by 342 iron chains, and there are 684 support columns, but there are only 32 main support columns, and the distribution positions have all been marked. As long as the explosion If one-third of the supporting pillars are broken, half of the entire shipwrecked city will collapse. If half of the main supporting pillars are blown up, the entire shipwrecked city will collapse...that even requires less than a hundred kilograms of explosives."

"Destruction is easier than construction, isn't it?" Shen Yi said lightly.

"Yes sir, the problem is that I don't see why we're doing this. Haven't you settled with Captain Jack? I'm sure he won't like it."

"I don't need his likes, as long as he can come in handy when I need it."

"You seem to mean something else?"

Shen Yi didn't answer, he just looked around the entire Shipwreck City, his eyes glowed with longing: "This will be a good battlefield, Lyle, although I hope I won't use it."

"It's a pity that the reality always runs counter to the ideal, sir. Good expectations are like fragrant flowers in spring, they always fade easily..."

"I didn't expect you to be a poet." Shen Yi laughed.

"That used to be my dream, but I turned out to be a soldier. I wanted to bring joy and thought to people, but it turned out to be blood and killing."

"So reality is always crueler than dreams, and the worst thing is that you still can't get rid of it." Shen Yi sighed.

"Then face it bravely, just like you did, and use your efforts to overcome all hardships." Lyle replied.

Shen Yi laughed, and patted Lyle's shoulder: "You will become the most outstanding soldier."

"It is my greatest honor to serve you." Lyle bowed to Shen Yi.

At this moment, there was a sudden noisy sound in the distance.

The fighting is like a whirlpool, attracting the crowd, and a loud roar can be faintly heard.

Shen Yi winked at Lyle, and Lyle left knowingly.

Shen Yi himself walked towards the noisy place.

Squeezing away the turbulent crowd, several pirates were lying on the ground and wailing loudly. Two of them had severed hands and feet, and one had a mouth full of blood. They even had their tongue pulled out. Dozens of pirates surrounded a few of them to attack. It was Hong Lang and the others.

"Damn it!" Shen Yi instinctively patted his forehead.

No need to ask, these guys must have caused trouble again.

At this moment, a large group of pirates were surrounding Hong Lang and they continued to attack, while the four of Hong Lang retreated to a corner, forming a defensive circle. The fat man held a heavy shield in front of him, like a dam blocking most people's attacks. The other three took turns to fight in their spare time. Two of them fought and one rested, easily blocking the pirates' attack - judging by the posture, it was clearly a team-to-team cooperation.

Under such circumstances, they still have the mind to practice combat formations, which shows that Hong Lang and the others at least have the ability to control the situation. So he was not in a hurry to make a move, but looked around and saw the parrot flying in the sky. So Shen Yi whistled, and the parrot saw Shen Yi, flew over with fluttering wings, landed on his shoulder, patted his chest with one wing and shouted: "Oh, I'm so scared to death, these people are really good!" It's too vicious."

"Tell me what happened."

"It's nothing, it's just some small misunderstandings..." Only then did the Destiny Parrot talk about what happened after he left.

The matter is actually very simple, Hong Lang and the others just wanted to stroll around this area casually and relax themselves, but they did not expect that they overlooked one thing - the existence of gentleness.

Pirates are a very special group. The hardships of life on the water are far beyond people's imagination. There are very few women on pirate ships. Long-term life at sea, a large group of energetic men can't meet women, even old sows will be stuffed with Diao Chan, let alone a beauty like Gentle.

There are usually only two types of women who can live in the Shipwreck City. One is a pirate and the other is a prostitute.

Back then when they were on the Black Pearl, many sailors coveted gentleness, but they had seen the methods of gentleness and knew that this thorny rose was untouchable. The pirates in the Shipwreck City don't know, there will always be someone who pissed too much and came up to make fun of it. They are used to being pirates, and robbery is the right way, and there will be no restrictions on their actions.

So after just a short walk, they ran into trouble.

For adventurers, every target in the mission world is like a lamb in the eyes of a hungry wolf. The only difference is that some sheep are valuable and some sheep are worthless.

When can the wolf bear the bullying of the lamb?

So the next development became logical.

Several pirates regarded Wen Rou as a prostitute, and wanted to take this woman back to have a good time, but the result was that their hands and feet were directly interrupted, and one of them even had his tongue pulled out. This behavior seriously angered a large number of pirates, and the conflict intensified instantly, and quickly evolved into the current situation.

"So it's like this..." Knowing the cause and effect of the matter, Shen Yi frowned deeply.
