Dawn of the Grey Tower

Chapter 176: An isolated port

What the Siren said when he left was true. The maelstrom that blocked the channel of the Distraught Bay from the sea did not show any signs of fading after a full six months. People even began to wonder whether the vortex had yet to disappear. At the same time, the food and drinking water reserves of Desperate Bay are deteriorating. After the communication with the outside world is cut off, the largest maritime trading city in the western seas is becoming a complete island. Many people try to break through this dilemma when they realize that the situation is urgent. They either go out to sea by boat or climb to the mountains behind them. But their results were similar. Those who went to the sea either died in the vortex of the torrent, or returned to the port with deep despair and broken ships. However, they should be fortunate that those who are climbing towards the mountains are truly unlucky.

"For so many years, no one has ever come over the land to Lost Heart for a reason. I told him that long ago. The result? Did anyone listen to my advice? No! You do n’t have to pay me for this kind of thing. I will tell you one thing, because the dead ca n’t bring any benefits! There are enough people dead in this city, okay, maybe this kind of death rate is still normal for this place, but now we can There is no way to add staff. Every one less person makes my business a little harder! Do you know what it feels like? It looks like you are leaving the soft bed and the woman with a beautiful day, facing the sun A sea of ​​gull feces that fell into your mouth from the sky while the sea was taking a deep breath! And that seagull just happened to have a stomach! "

Lothar rubbed his hair a bit painfully, and if he could, he was very happy to let the chattering guy sleep, and hit the head with the axe handle of the tomahawk. But he could n’t do it. After all, the Earl was not familiar with the roads of Frustration Bay, and he had n’t sent him a finger to the city like his own town one month before entering the underground cave. Palm. And for more than half a year, Losa has spent in bed, and his ability to recover his mobility is a matter of recent days.

"Seriously, can I plug his mouth or break his bones so that he can only scream?" The sailor walking next to Lothar rolled his eyes. He also spoke to the bobcat along the way. Feeling quite unhappy. This sailor is a crew member on the black arrow. To be precise, except for the intelligence traffickers, the rest of the team now working together can be counted as Captain Halfdan. They included Lothar and four other sailors with scimitars in their waists. The nickname that just rolled their eyes was called a mouse.

As the head of this squad, Losa certainly would not allow this to happen. But his patience with the Bobcats was about to reach its limit. The count held the intelligence dealer ’s shoulders, "I remember half a month ago, I couldn't find whale fat in Frustration Bay. Or can you synthesize that thing in your body now?"

Lothar ’s words seemed to irritate the Bobcat. He turned around and pressed his hands to the ear of the Earl ’s shoulder, then said one by one, “You know that there was no whale fat half a month ago. Do you know me? How did it last for half a month, ah? This boring **** **** is full of fish smell for half a month? While you were fooling around with your woman, I ... "

The Bobcat was blocked by Lothar's handkerchief before he finished speaking. The Earl can tolerate many things, but recently he has added quite a few items to the list of things he can't tolerate, most of them related to web bugs. "When you talk about her, you have to be respectful. Otherwise, I will strip you away and throw it to the cannibals, and then give them some salt and firewood. If you understand it, you wink. Eyes. "The Bobcat blinked his eyelids quickly before finally regaining his freedom.

The intelligence dealer opened his mouth to say something, but looking at Lothar's half-year-old but still strong muscles and the tomahawk in his hand, he swallowed back. I can only murmur in a low voice, "Well, what you say is what you are. Here you are the boss, anyway, I am a little intelligence businessman, and now I have to listen to the words of these great sailor masters."

The lynx of the bobcat made Lothar shrug helplessly. Since he was still a lion, he didn't like to overpower others. But the situation in the Bay of Frustration is indeed true now. The shortage of resources and the long-term closure and the inaction of the witch corps have brought the city to the brink of order collapse. I mean, despite the fact that Disappointment Bay was a place known for its disorder, as a human city, it can't really be completely chaotic. In any case, the basic principles prevailing in human society must be effective in this city, otherwise it will not work at all. But now that food and drinking water are starting to be scarce, the most basic order has begun to crumble, lacking the powerful rule of the Witches. This is not what people want to see, so headed by Captain Halfdan, many captains joined together to form a temporary ruling group. Speaking of domination, all they can do is to keep the order of the city to a minimum with the strength of personnel and equipment, so that it will not be completely reduced to a jungle of man-made structures.

But many things cannot be solved by the maintenance of force alone. The problems caused by the shortage of food. The cannibals in Losa's mouth are one of them. According to Bobcats, these cannibals were originally barbaric races living in the mountains near Lost Heart Bay. They will mercilessly hunt humans or other intelligent creatures who step into the territory and brutally eat the victims' bodies ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Those who try to cross the mountains are not successful when they meet them. However, the expedition was not completely annihilated. Several survivors became unconscious after fleeing back to the Lost Bay. The captains did not have the energy to deal with them at that time, and they found a place to shut them up. . It now appears that this is a wrong decision.

Cannibals are not the cannibals from the beginning. In the legend of the sailors, those guys who have been forced into a desperate situation and have to eat human corpses will slowly mutate. That is the curse of cannibalism. The ability to eat other foods, and eventually become a monster without wit. The appearance of such monsters will change with the time they survive and the number of times they eat, becoming more and more away from their original appearance. In many places, such monsters are also called ghouls.

Lothar had seen ghouls. He did not know whether the legend of the sailors was the origin of the ghouls he knew, or the origin of some of them. In any case, his previous experience made him volunteer to propose to Captain Halfdan after he learned of the terrorist incidents in the city. Killing a few monsters that had just turned towards ghouls, Lothar thought he didn't break his promise with Net Worms.

"Hush, move a little lighter, we are here."
