MTL - I Got on a Ghost Ship By Mistake and Was Forced To Be the Captain-Chapter 543 negotiation
In the end, only a few people, including Professor Wayne, left lonely with the information obtained from the temple.
Whether to stay or leave for the expedition team of the Seven Schools Alliance was determined by lottery from the very beginning.
Compared to living in peace, professors from various industries would rather enter the temple and ask for the answers they want to know.
Scholars who have reached their level, most people care more about the ultimate problem of the universe than life.
However, ever since knowing the terrifying and horrifying truth of the universe, fear almost knocked down the expedition team members, and the weak-willed were trembling all over.
On the polar glacier covered with goose feathers and heavy snow, the lonely few people looked depressed. No one will easily forget this dreamlike experience.
"Professor, how do we explain to their family members."
A younger scholar looked at the depleted team beside him with a bit of bitterness on his face.
"Go out of the polar region, and then announce everything that happened here to the society. And the information we have obtained is also made public. Whether they believe it or not, we have reached the limit."
Professor Wayne warned everyone in a serious tone: "Don't let their sacrifices become meaningless."
The surviving team, with the only equipment and supplies, shuttled across this continent in the harsh climate.
I don’t know in vain that the return journey is ten times more dangerous than the arrival. For some reason, the compass indicating the direction collectively failed at this moment.
What is even more frightening is that a terrible snowstorm has arrived. It seems that the gods punished the criminals who knew the truth of the universe. The sun did not rise for two consecutive weeks, and the temperature dropped every day.
In the extremely cold region of minus 30 to 40 degrees, even the sled dogs could not support them to leave.
Losing a sense of direction also means being unable to reach the original supply point, and completely lost in the polar continent.
Later, due to the harsh winter, most of the creatures on the polar regions hibernated or died of freezing, and the members of the expedition team did not even have the nutritional intake to sustain life.
The food was gone, and when we were about to starve to death, we had to slaughter the polar sled dogs, and then we couldn’t see the coast after the sled dogs had eaten all of them. Everyone’s spirit and perseverance reached the limit.
Even if the will of steel is on this terrifying white continent, it will be completely swallowed by the cold wind and blizzard.
at first,
The members of the expedition team will also bring the corpse of their companions, but the further they go, the more hopeless they are.
There are only a few solitary figures left on the snow-capped snow field, carrying the last courage of human beings, walking wearily and numbly on the soft snow field.
In the end, some people have gone crazy, and some people would rather stop and wait for death, but no one has ever thought of a companion.
Even when the team members died, their heads were facing north.
"Ugh."
Tu Fu, who was watching all this quietly in the sky, felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.
These people are similar to what happened to him at the beginning, being teased by a higher life, leading a group of people to the point of death.
He had read Professor Wayne's investigation log, and knew that Professor Wayne was obviously crazy at that time, and the recorded information had already become obscure and garbled characters.
But at the end of his life, the old professor came to his senses and wrote the last words in Bayawen.
He described the scene like this.
"We knew that there would be no miracles. So we decided not to take one step closer to doom, but to suffer death like all other misfortunes in man's hands.
After we greeted each other like old friends after writing the suicide note, we each climbed into our sleeping bags, hoping that younger explorers would discover all this many years later.
We have prayed to the Lord countless times, but the Lord seems to have abandoned us. "
When Professor Wayne and his party were dying, it was in the area that Jack Sparrow had discovered. They were already infinitely close to the land, but they were completely lost in the cold winter and snow.
A quiet death enveloped the camp, and it was extraordinarily quiet both during life and after death.
It is worth mentioning that after the team was completely wiped out in the polar region, the blizzard that had lasted for two weeks came to an abrupt end. Worm, that insignificant corpse.
That faint light seemed to say,
bugs,
are always just bugs.
…
"Back!"
After witnessing this great tragedy, Tu Fu sent instructions to the "Santa Maria" with complicated thoughts.
The cruise ship was once again wrapped in a layer of dark liquid, and its position continued to rise, toward the top of the world. In the long river of time, the sound of "gulu, gulu" continued to pass upwards.
After a period of time, the huge ghost ship slowly returned from the past time and space to the original time and space.
1495, November 28, 3:16 p.m.
Except for the time Tu Fu spent traveling in time and space, the return time is exactly the same.
The "Santa Maria" was re-parked on the Weddell Sea by him, and he himself immediately returned to Miskar Stark's camp in the next moment, and woke up sweating profusely in the tent.
With a sound of "shua", Tu Fu straightened his body, what happened just now was like a dream.
"You're back?"
Miss Winster, who was standing guard at the door for Tu Fu, gritted her teeth when she saw him coming back, her face full of anger had nowhere to vent.
"what happened?"
"Those shameful liars, they must give me an account."
Tu Fu was burning with anger. After getting out of the tent, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the temple in the ancient city of Jushi.
At the moment when the ability was activated, I saw those strange-looking ancients sending out coffins built with several stones.
Use the grand ceremony of the human world to put those human warriors who died fifteen years ago into the coffin, and offer their greatest respect.
Seeing Tu Fu's indifferent face, members of the elder clan took the initiative to speak:
"Just now, the 'Star Key' was used again, and we clearly observed the world it went to, Tuf Capet, it turns out that you hold the key to the starry sky."
Tu Fu remained silent, staring at the sarcophagi. The coffin boards were not yet closed, and the remains of the scholars could be clearly seen from his perspective.
The body has not been corrupted by time, and still retains the posture it had fifteen years ago. The ancients used their ingenious techniques to freeze the bodies of the dead, keeping them forever at the moment when they were deprived of their lives.
Tu Fu walked towards the place where the remains of the original owner's parents were loaded, and said indifferently:
"I think you should give me and many people an explanation, the matter about them is not over yet."
"That's a fair trade, exchange life for knowledge, we didn't force or trick these humans to complete the transaction with us, and the premise of the transaction is voluntary.
We only need their brains, and now it is reasonable to return the corpses to you except the brains. "
The ancients seemed to have expected that someone would come to hold them accountable, so they preserved these remains in advance and sent them back at this opportune time.
After going back and forth like this, I learned the secret of Tu Fu's possession of the "Star Key".
As expected of the star race that ruled this place in the first place, even Tu Fu wanted to applaud them after seeing such a big picture.
Seeing that Tu Fu fell silent, the ancient man spoke again: "We can keep it a secret from your people. If they know about your possession of the 'Star Key', it will only bring you trouble."
"Since you pay attention to equivalent exchange, what is the exchange condition this time?"
Tu Fu snorted and laughed.
"Before the war of gods in this galaxy comes, use the star key to take members of my family away from this planet."
Tu Fu snorted softly: "Just rely on you to keep it a secret for me? Or return the remains of my relatives?"
"That's not the condition of the negotiation. We still inherit part of the knowledge related to the starry sky from our ancestors. We will assist you to escape the area of God War."
The ambition that the ancients had concealed for so long was finally exposed at this moment.
Since they saw the strong human beings, they seemed to have given up any strategy, but they were still thinking of ways in private. Until they found Tu Fu, the holder of the "Star Key", and finally set their plans on him.
Leaving this world is the top priority.
"To be honest, I really don't understand your family now."
Tu Fu didn’t immediately agree or refuse, but shook his head amusedly,
"You have degenerated to the point where you can't even defeat the stronger existences among humans, let alone enemies from the abyss or the starry sky.
The technology of space travel is lost, and the strength of the degraded physical body cannot compete with those star races. Even if I send you to a certain planet, it will only destroy itself in a short time. "
“A little hope is better than no hope.
We can accept the result of being eliminated naturally due to lack of competitiveness, but we must not bear to do nothing before the danger comes. Even in the end, members of my family are still destroyed. "
This is not a message from a certain ancient person, but a collective consciousness of all members of the family.
When Tu Fu raised his head again to seriously examine this ancient star race, he suddenly found something different in them.
The strong desire to survive makes this ancient race fight hard.
It seems to have seen those scholars struggling to survive on the snowy field.
Perhaps,
Any race in front of the starry sky is a bug.
