Chapter Zero. Teardrops Part 1(1/3)
crackle
The water splashed, and a shark emerged from the water. Its huge and long head slowly emerged from the water, its fins were flapping, and its body stood on the water little by little.
This black shark looks very alert, with a pair of scarlet eyes observing everything around it. This is a dilapidated bay, with a large number of broken hulls on the sea, and the harbor in the distance is full of broken buildings.
The shark was six to seven meters long. After the shark's body was halfway out of the water, its huge body was taller than a nearby rusty yacht. The shark slowly approached the yacht and suddenly opened its mouth.
He opened his mouth wide, revealing his sharp teeth, and bit down.

The shark began to devour the old yacht, and its sharp teeth were dismembering the old yacht.
In a hole opened in a large dilapidated ship not far away, a pair of purple eyes shone brightly under the blue light.
"Natsu! It's almost done!"
A voice came from the dark broken hull, soon followed by a flash of white light. There were two humanoid creatures standing here. They were wearing simple coarse cloth, and their skin was blue. On their blue skin,
There are criss-crossing white lines, which are emitting a faint white light all the time, and appear extremely eye-catching under such a gray-black sky.
These two creatures with human faces, but no ears or hair, stared eagerly at the sharks on the sea in the distance. On their blue cheek skin, there was a green horizontal bar on the left cheek.
The two were about the same size, and the smaller one was called Nants by the stronger one behind him.
"Garcia! Still waiting."
Nantz squatted in a hole more than ten meters above the water. Under his feet, there was a thick iron chain. At this time, the shark more than 30 meters away from the two of them was still eating the old yacht bit by bit.
, and at this time both of them were squatting on the ground, both of their hands holding on to the iron chain.
At this time, the shark stopped, still standing on the water, seeming to be resting, its scarlet eyes closed, and the two of them were still waiting for something.
"That's it!"
Garcia said and looked at Nants next to him, who shook his head.
"It must succeed. If it fails..."
Garcia saw the sadness in Nantz's expression, and he patted Nantz's back consolingly.
"Panello is getting married soon, you want to give her the best gift, right?"
As soon as he said this, Nantz lowered his head, with a hint of sadness in his green eyes, and nodded.
"There is no way, we are born low-level Steka!"
Nantz said, Garcia smiled and shook his head.
"How about... I mean how about..."
Garcia also seemed very uncomfortable. He saw that his good brother Nanzi, who he had grown up with since childhood, was about to lose his sight. He watched his lover get married and was unable to do anything. Garcia knew this feeling clearly.
"Tonight, if we can succeed, we will go back with gifts. Tomorrow night is the festival. You and Penelope should discuss it carefully and take her away!"
Nantz looked at Garcia blankly.
"No, I have no ability at all. Even if I take her and run away, I won't be able to get far."
Garcia smiled and shook his head.
"It's okay Natsu, I think..."
"Stop talking!"
Nantz's face darkened. He glanced at the dilapidated city streets and the gray-black sky in the distance. Today is 8 o'clock in the morning on October 30, 2276.
The two of them had been in this dilapidated bay full of sunken ships and wreckage for a week in search of hunting grounds. They were exhausted. Fortunately, this shark appeared.
The world in front of them was like this when they first opened their eyes. They were the people of Stecatripoca, the god of chaos. The reason why this world became like this was because of the greed of humans in the past, which eventually led to
God brought disaster and destroyed the past world and civilization. In the past world, this land was dominated by a kind of creature called man.
The elder of the village also said that humans are the most greedy creatures. The two of them also saw many human corpses in the human ruins, which were completely different from them, as well as many things created by humans in the past.
In particular, a kind of poisonous white powder can be seen in many places on this land. The two people live in a village of more than 400 Stika people more than 10 kilometers away from the bay.
It is a relatively small village in the Steka Kingdom. Two-thirds of the people in the village are low-level Steka, without any fighting ability or crystal proliferation armor.
Steka with blue and purple eyes are the most common in the village. Eyes are one of the important signs of identifying a Steka. The eyes of a Steka that mixes two colors are medium Scott, while some mix three colors.
Even the four colors of Steka are high-grade Steka.
The horizontal bars on their cheeks also represent that they are the lowest-level labor force in the Steka village and are looking for food every day. The more green horizontal bars, the greater the ability to capture prey. The largest is the Steka with three horizontal bars.
card, and the red horizontal bar represents the protector of the village.
In the society of Steka, there is a group of cursed Steka with black eyes. Once this kind of Steka is born, they will be killed directly. In order not to let their children die, some parents will take the initiative to kill their children.
They were sent to the territory of some cursers. Nanzi had a sister named Shakira. She was suddenly cursed when she was 11 years old and was then sent away. Nanzi has never seen her until now.
Sister Shakira.
Nantz's lover Penelope was born with golden-red eyes, and recently the corners of her eyes have started to turn white. With eyes that are a mixture of three colors, she has become the noblest Steka in the village.
The great elders of the high-level Steka took the fancy of her, and they would directly take Penillo over in a few days, and Penillo would marry a noble Steka.
This matter had been decided a year ago, and Nantz also knew that tomorrow's festival would be the last time, and it would also be the last day Nantz could get along with Penelope, so Nantz decided to give the best gift to his lover.
Food is necessary for Steka. These strange "animals" running around the world are an important source of food for Steka. They Steka only need to eat some of these animals to supply the body with necessary needs.
With enough energy, you can go without eating or drinking for a week.
Nantz had thought about escaping with Penelope, and even thought about going to the territory of the cursers, but all this was unrealistic. Nantz had no ability, and there were many cursers wandering in this land.
, they will rob normal Steka's food, even take away female Steka, and kill some normal Steka.
The Steka with the red horizontal stripes on their cheeks in the village exist to protect the village, and some female Steka are responsible for picking up some usable materials to make clothes.
Nantz prayed to their gods countless times, but the God of Chaos never responded to Nantz, because Nantz had heard that if he prayed to the God of Chaos sincerely, he might gain power.
"It's time to do it, Natsu!"
Looking at Nanzi who was dazed, Garcia said softly. Nanzi came back to his senses, and the two of them nervously pulled on the chains. After looking at each other, they nodded.
Click
In an instant, the two people pulled the chain, and there was a huge sound of water. In an instant, the shark with closed eyes on the sea in the distance opened its eyes in an instant, making a splashing sound, accompanied by a squeezing sound, and rusty stripes.
Anchors rose from all directions in an instant, and thick chains were like nets, rushing towards the shark instantly.
The sound of splashing water sounded, and Nanz and Garcia immediately jumped in, jumping directly into the dark sea water. There was a blue crystal spear on their backs, which was used by their Scourge
Weapons made of special excrement and tears are very hard.
The shark struggled in the huge chain net. The huge force dragged the entire net sliding on the water surface in an instant. The water splashed continuously. Two people swimming quickly were floating on the water surface.
The gills opened, and the two people approached quickly, and the water flow became chaotic due to the shark's struggle.
"Nants!"
Garcia shouted, and the moment they approached, the two people jumped out of the water like fish. There were things like fins on their hands and feet, which suddenly popped out like shrapnel, and their bodies and legs were out of the water.
After that, they quickly reached the sky above the shark on the water surface. The two of them raised the crystal spears in their hands and stabbed directly into the shark's eyes.
The clicking sound continued, the shark's eye was stabbed, and black blood spattered out. In an instant, the shark's big mouth bit directly into the chain, and one of the chains broke. The two of them were still holding Jing tightly.
Spear, the shark flapped directly and suddenly jumped forward.
Garcia immediately shouted.
"Get away from Natsu!"
Click
Nanz grinned slightly. The moment the shark's mouth approached, Nanz raised his hands and grabbed the shark's sharp teeth. The teeth instantly pierced the skin of Nanz's hands and soles of his feet. Nanz was in pain and his eyes were desperate.
Looking at Garcia standing on the anchor under the chain.
Plop
The water splashed everywhere, like a huge bomb falling into the water. Nanzi was directly bitten by the shark and fell into the dark ocean. Nanzi's eyes were gleaming. Garcia had already jumped into the water and swam quickly.
As he chased after him, Nantz felt that his strength was losing little by little. The white blood looked particularly clear in the dark ocean, like a weak white air, flowing slowly, like a ribbon.
Nantz's feelings became increasingly blurry. He knew that the hunting plan failed. Although such a simple trap worked, they also attacked the shark's eyes as some experienced hunters said, but this
The power far exceeded Nanzi's imagination.
