This is not a figurative description, at least not in this sentence.
The bones of extraordinary beings are really hard.
Not only bones, their flesh and blood are also tough materials that are extremely rare in the blue.
After all, they are a group of people who have absorbed a large amount of original energy and can stand shoulder to shoulder with strange creatures!
And now on the sea, there are fewer and fewer weird creatures that can provide repair materials for the Wuming.
Why?
The captain has an expert on strange creatures.
According to his speculation, the place where the Wuming is currently sailing should strictly speaking be the sea between the blue and strange worlds.
This sea of cracks will instinctively repel all alien species, whether they are strange creatures or unknown creatures.
At the beginning, there was no azure life in the sea, so the strange creatures in it had no target to fight against, so they were in a state of near dormancy.
But when the Wuming came to the sea of cracks, the strange creatures in this sea of cracks were "awakened".
Driven by instinct, they began to try to drive the Wu Ming into the sea.
As the battles have progressed over the years, fewer and fewer strange creatures survive in the cracked ocean, which greatly reduces the chance of Wuming encountering strange creatures.
The approach of using war to support war will no longer work.
what to do?
Then go "sacrifice".
…
In fact, the elderly sailor's self-sacrifice did not have that grand feeling.
It's like an uncle from a relative's family who casually said "I'm going out to buy a pack of cigarettes". There's nothing special about it.
Maybe it's because the people on the Wuming are already numb...
They have been sailing in this sea of cracks for too long.
What's even more numbing is that their captain has already turned into the embodiment of anger, and can no longer tolerate anything else in his eyes.
"I believe this voyage will eventually come to an end."
This is what the older sailor taught the other crew members before he died.
"We have sailed to so many places."
"Isn't that what the old saying goes? Your efforts will eventually be rewarded."
"I believe this."
"I leave the hope of life to you, you must work hard to live."
After saying this, the older sailor went to die calmly.
Other sailors skinned and boned the older sailor's body to fill the large hole in the Wuming's hull.
Everyone except the captain could feel that the big ship named Wu Ming was gradually sailing in an out-of-control direction.
No one can stop.
…
The sacrifice of the older sailor seems to have been useful.
It seems so.
In short, Wuming successfully persisted until its "next serious injury".
But this time without the older sailor, it was the next sailor's turn to sacrifice himself.
"I have nothing to say!"
The fat sailor spread his hands and said with a helpless smile: "Brothers, we have been together for such a long time, and we have already said everything we need to say."
"Anyway, live on."
The fat sailor patted one of his good brothers on the shoulder and said, "I believe in you, and I believe our sacrifice will not be in vain."
"Stay alive!"
"Then, I'm leaving first! Don't follow me!"
The fat sailor waved his hand and then died.
The others nodded while using the flesh and bones of the fat sailor to repair another big hole in the Wuming.
The sacrifices continued one after another.
"Stay alive!"
"Don't worry, this journey will come to an end."
"You have to live!"
"Don't worry, our efforts will be rewarded."
"..."
Everyone who sacrificed left some words behind more or less.
There are fewer and fewer people on the Wuming.
The Ship of Theseus theory also began to gradually improve, and finally reached a complete form.
In the end, Wu Ming was knocked out of a big hole by a huge strange creature.
At this time, the only people left on the ship were the captain and the youngest sailor.
"Captain, I'm going to die too."
The young sailor stood in front of the big hole, looked at the captain with angry eyes, and shook his head helplessly.
"I still don't know if you can listen to us."
"Maybe I can't listen, but everyone has said it, so I can only say it."
"Captain, I'm going to die."
"I don't know how you are feeling right now, maybe you are just angry."
"But I always believe that the Wu Ming will sail to its destination one day."
Young - maybe he is not young anymore.
The young sailor was silent for a moment, then suddenly shouted to the captain:
"Our efforts are meaningful!"
"We did not die in vain!"
"Did you hear that, Captain! And those weird things! Our death was not in vain!"
"Our efforts are meaningful! Our deaths are meaningful!"
"Yes, it makes sense!"
puff!
The young sailor's body exploded into a pool of blood mist.
he died.
After his death, the captain was still angry.
After death, Wu Ming is still sailing.
After death, the strange mess is still laughing and joking.
Hee hee hee! Hahaha!
They are laughing.
What are you laughing at?
Laugh at those who choose self-sacrifice.
The sailors on the Wuming were actually a not-so-smart joke about everything in the strange world, including the captain and the Wuming itself.
puff……
Hahahahaha!
Do you know where the joke is?
I don't know who started it either.
It wasn't the elderly sailor who died first, but perhaps some unknown third-rate writer.
He conceived a plot and believed that "death" was of great significance.
A certain person, even if this person is the tiniest piece of dust, his death can still play an extremely important role and even change the direction of the story.
Unfortunately, this is not possible.
Don't forget, the people on board the Wu Ming are ordinary extraordinary beings who can't even pass the inland battlefield.
Their deaths...what's the point?
…
Human beings are always arrogant.
They are delusional and delusional that their voices, their actions, and their deaths are of great significance to the entire world.
But this is not the case!
A person can only change himself, not the whole world.
This is to say...people can't change the so-called "big environment", can they only force themselves to adapt?
No!
That is the behavior of a coward!
Arrogance is not a bad word!
Humans have to be arrogant.
Human beings have to think that they can change everything!
Only in this way can "people" deserve to be called "people"!
Otherwise, they are just a bunch of numb walking zombies!
You just have to live a more arrogant life!
…
That day, "arrogance" was born beside "anger".
They sail together.
Until today.
"Anger" could not withstand the combined siege of the flames of rules and "violence", so it summoned "Pride" to its side.
boom!
The Wu Ming hit the flames.
"Arrogance" meets "rules".
boom!
The mathematician who represented the "rules" was hit hard to the ground.
But Wu Minghao continues to disappear.
It will hit again and kill the "violent" person on the ground!
