47. The shadow of doom and the undercurrent are coming

"Roar!"

The things locked in the rusty iron cages in the bottom of the merchant ship smelled of fresh flesh and blood.

When the four members of Team K approached, its pale eyes rolled up, its twisted nostrils sniffed fiercely, and then it roared and rushed towards it.

It hit the side of the cage with a bang, and the twisted claws stretched out and scratched continuously. With this movement, the festering wounds and shriveled flesh on its body also gave off a disgusting rancid smell.

The black magician Zha Kang looked at what was in front of him, with a serious expression on his careless face. As for Catwoman, who was still angry at this moment, she directly thought of the covered up disaster that happened in Gotham just a few days ago.

.

"boom"

With an ugly face, Mason raised his hand and pulled the trigger.

A spinning bullet flew out of the barrel of the gun and blew the head of the thing in the cage in front of him. The headless corpse hit the damp and smelly bottom deck, causing filthy blood to flow out.

"Zombies. Zombies again!"

He looked at the kite man behind him who also had an ugly expression, and whispered:

"Go and check the people on the boat. If you are scratched or have been in contact with zombies, throw them directly into the sea."

"No need, boss."

Charles whispered:

"The locals call this infection the 'Black Death'. According to the boatswain, this disease has been circulating in the Old World for more than two months. It is said that there are few living people in Europe.

Their merchants running on the sea are now swarming in the "immigration business", specializing in sending living people from the Old World to the New World for refuge, so they know how to prevent this kind of danger.

Before we came, all the scratched crew members on the ship had been dealt with, and they kept this zombie because it was the captain of this ship three days ago."

"Zombies appeared more than two months ago?"

Mason said in surprise:

"So, the official government of this world has not been attacked by the 'World Destroyer'? Also, a world whose civilization is still in modern times has no way of resisting such a rapidly spreading biochemical disaster.

Those bastards don't need to go to great lengths to destroy the center of civilization.

All they have to do is drop the virus and the world will end with rapid blood loss."

The conversation between Mason and Kite Man was overheard by Catwoman. The eldest sister looked at Mason and said:

"Isn't this your first time exposed to this kind of global disaster? Where did the zombie beasts you used to attack Blackgate Prison come from?"

"another world."

Kite Man explained:

"It was the first world we were kidnapped by Old K. It was even worse than this. The zombie crisis and the attack of the World Destroyer had made it a real doomsday wasteland.

There is not a single living person left in that world.”

After saying that, Kite Man handed Mr. Potter's diary to Catwoman at Mason's signal. On the way to Team K leaving the bilge and walking onto the deck, Catwoman showed the diary to Kang.

When everyone saw the sun again, even the most heartless Constantine had no smile on his face. The sunshine that was so warm just now shone on the four explorers, which only made them feel a wave of pain.

The coldness.

It's like a replica of the disaster.

Everything that happened in the world of Hogwarts is being repeated in the world of Pirates of the Caribbean, but in a more cruel and cold-blooded "global battle royale" way.

Mason remained calm.

He looked at the group of lost sailors on the deck and the haggard-looking people who had bought tickets to leave the Old World and go to the New World to beg for work.

According to Charles' inquiry, he learned that two ships of this group set out from France ten days ago with 420 people on board.

After encountering an attack and disaster caused by an infected person turning into a zombie on the way, there were only less than 50 people left who were lucky enough to survive.

Everyone has lost hope, just like the unexplained walking corpses waiting for the mercy of death.

"Boatswain!"

Mason shouted:

"Do you have any problem with us taking over the ship now?"

A middle-aged man with one eye blind and wearing an eyepatch raised his head, his thirsty lips moved but he didn't say anything, he just nodded silently.

"boom"

A large box of compressed biscuits and several buckets of water were taken out of Mason's luggage and thrown on the deck. This magical "miracle" immediately made everyone look at him.

Mason lightly kicked Zha Kang, who was meditating, and the latter immediately stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.

A ball of green flames appeared out of thin air on the deck, forming a ferocious skeleton that howled and pounced on the confused crowd in front of it, scaring the surviving men and women into screaming and falling down, and trying to hide in embarrassment.

Although it was a bad thing to do, under Zha Kang's magic, these guys finally had some reactions that a living person should have.

"Wizards! They are wizards!"

Screams of terror echoed on the deck where traces of the battle still remained. In this day and age, "wizard" was not a good word.

"Quiet!"

Mason raised his intimidating hand cannon and fired a shot into the sky. When the deck became quiet, he said coldly:

"Now, you are all slaves of the Lord Wizard! Come and get food and water, you poor people, the kind Lord Wizard wants you to work hard.

Anyone who dares to be lazy will be hung from the mast to die in the sun!"

These cold words had a miraculous effect. More than forty people on the deck immediately rushed up and lined up timidly under the threat of the black gun in the hands of the Kite Man.

Catwoman picked up the compressed biscuits and handed them to a few gray-headed and obviously malnourished children.

She sighed.

Then he took out the high-end snacks and candies he used to relieve boredom from his pocket and stuffed them into their hands. However, the children's eyes were filled with fear for the most beautiful big sister they had ever seen since birth.

But others were quite happy.

Although becoming a slave is a tragic thing, it is nothing new in this era of vigorous triangular trade, not to mention the arrival of sufficient food and water for this group of people who are about to starve to death at sea.

Don't hesitate to say a miracle.

After barely filling their stomachs, the Kite Man drove these poor people under Mason's instructions and began to adjust their direction and sail towards the nearest dock city.

Mason found the boatswain, a taciturn, middle-aged blind man who was the only remaining leader of the group.

Team K now needs his years of sailing experience.

"Tell me about it."

Mason took out a world map and placed it on the table in the dark captain's cabin. He lit a portable lamp, pointed at the map and said to the boatswain holding the biscuits:

"Where are we now? And where are you going?"

The boatswain had never seen such an exquisite map, but he quickly pointed on the map based on experience and said:

"Master Wizard, we were originally going to Virginia, but the disaster caused us to wander here. According to my experience, we should be near Haiti now.

If you can do it correctly, you can get to Port-au-Prince tonight.

but."

Seeing that he was hesitant, the kite man, who was feeling unhappy, said impatiently:

"Speak directly!"

"Well, I heard some bad news when we were not attacked by the 'ghoul' on the ship."

The boatswain said hesitantly:

"It is said that some smugglers were blinded by money and accidentally transported some patients infected with the Black Death to the New World.

It is said that Haiti is now a hell on earth.

Maybe we shouldn't go there, after all we managed to survive the ghoul siege."

"Then give me a suggestion."

Mason looked at the map and said:

"We can't keep floating on the sea, your ship is starting to leak."

"We can go to Tortuga!"

The boatswain suddenly became energetic.

He also wanted to show off his abilities in front of the "new captain" who mastered terrible witchcraft, so he ate the biscuits in his hand, pointed at a tiny dot on the map, and said:

"Although I am a serious businessman, I have some friends who are doing less serious business on this sea.

They told me that pirate kings from all over the world have decided to gather on Tortuga Island and reopen the Pirate King Conference to discuss how to survive the end of the world.

That was news half a month ago.

If everything goes well, we will be able to catch the meeting when we arrive at Tortuga Island."

"A group of pirates, discussing saving the world?"

Catwoman sitting in the captain's cabin seemed to have heard a black humorous joke. She held the hilt of the sword at her waist and said:

"So there's no one in charge here anymore? The sewer rat comes to the stage?"

"Selena, what you said reminds me of the common refrain of young people who were born in peaceful times. Don't be angry. I didn't mean it to be sarcastic."

Mason, who had seen the post-apocalyptic world with his own eyes, sighed and said:

"I just feel that even though you have witnessed the end of the world with your own eyes, you still don't have a clear understanding of the concept of 'doomsday'. It's not that the pirate kings are crowned with glory, but if they don't stand up, the world won't even have a last chance."

Already."

"Yes, two wizards!"
