If the shipwreck city in the distance is just a dilapidated island built with countless ships like building blocks, then when you take a closer look, you will find that it is just an illusion.
The entire shipwreck city is divided into two parts: the inner and outer parts. The outermost edge is a circle of outer walls composed of large wooden ships and reef groups, while the inner ring is the main body of the shipwreck city.
The main body of the entire shipwreck city is a water fortress with a radius of a thousand meters, extending upward in the shape of a pyramid. The interiors of each ship are connected to each other, just like countless caves connected in a huge mountain.
The construction work of the Ship City is very consistent with architectural principles. It is unique and original in terms of spatial layout, combination principles and construction methods.
It consists of thirty-two giant dragon ships as a base. Hundreds of iron anchors under the base replace foundation piles. Some broken sunken ships are filled with stones and filled under the base so that it can withstand any wind and waves.
About fifty medium-sized dhows form the main part of the first layer on the base. Each ship is equivalent to a residential area, with rooms and decks as roads. Some thick masts are used as central and horizontal columns.
Arranged staggeredly, as the support point of the ship city, it looks chaotic, but in fact it perfectly connects all the ships.
Above the medium-sized ship island, there are about twenty-storey small sailing ships. These small sailing ships form the superstructure of the ship city and hold up the three large luxury ships on the top. Among them, the sailing ship in the center of the top,
It is similar in size to the Black Pearl and is painted with black oil paint, making it look like another replica of the Black Pearl.
The Black Pearl docked at the dock extending out of the Ship City. Dozens of pirate ships were docked here. Dozens of skull and crossbones flags fluttering on the masts were fluttering in the wind. Pirates wearing leather suits and wielding swords were everywhere on board. If
Ordinary people would be frightened to death after seeing this scene, but Shen Yi and others just looked at each other and smiled.
As the Black Pearl docked, Jack Sparrow jumped onto the ship city and said to Shen Yi and the others: "Elizabeth and Will and I will go see who is here. You guys wait for me here. It's best not to run around.
, there are no good people here, be careful of getting into trouble."
"You don't have to worry about our safety." Hong Lang said disdainfully.
"I wasn't worried about you in the first place!" Jack Sparrow replied angrily.
Several people laughed one after another.
Watching Jack and others leave, Shen Yi thought for a moment and said, "I'll go for a walk around the area. You guys wait for me here. Lyle, you come with me."
Airborne soldier Lyle is one of the few soldiers Shen Yi still has with him.
"Okay sir."
Seeing Shen Yi follow in the footsteps of Jack Sparrow and leave, Hong Lang looked at King Kong: "I said, how about we go shopping too?
?After drifting on the sea for so long, I still feel comfortable being down to earth."
"Okay." King Kong looked around: "It looks lively here."
The fat man said worriedly: "The boss just said we won't be allowed to wander around."
Hong Lang patted the fat man on the shoulder: "Don't worry, it's just for fun. You have to understand one thing. In essence, there is no leader in the bloody city... everyone is his own master. You can do it out of respect and trust."
Listen to the captain’s opinion, but you don’t have to obey everything.”
"Very good disobedient logic." Wen Wen smiled.
"You can choose not to go." Hong Lang said immediately.
Wen Wen rolled her eyes: "What a beautiful idea, don't you know that shopping is a woman's greatest pleasure? What's more, this is a shipwreck city."
After walking a few steps ashore, Shen Yi discovered the biggest difference between the shipwreck city and ordinary cities.
Since the Shipwreck City is a huge ship island, and ships are the main body of the city, the city itself is a three-dimensional city. In addition, there are no strict connections between ships, such as springboards, cables, sails, and masts. They are all part of the road, so you can often see people swinging from one boat to another holding on to the rope, because that is the road!
The special construction foundation, complex road conditions, and fully three-dimensional urban structure have turned the entire shipwreck city into a huge maze. People who are not familiar with the terrain will be stunned even if they walk in it for a few minutes.
Wandering in such a place is quite a test of one's IQ and patience, but Shen Yi likes it quite a lot. He doesn't know whether this was a deliberate plan by the original pirate kings or the result of unintentional interference, but he has no idea. There is no doubt that this special structure itself has become the defense system of the shipwreck city.
After walking through several dead ends, Shen Yi simply took out his handheld computer and began to scan and record the terrain here. While walking, he explored the architectural pattern of this area. After two hours, he finally had a rough idea of this area.
Not far from the pier, there is a relatively flat and lively area, which is the commercial district of the Shipwreck City.
A large number of ship cabins have been converted into shops, selling goods from all over the world.
If Tutuga Port is the cargo distribution center for pirates in the Caribbean, then the Shipwreck City is the cargo distribution center for pirates around the world. There are dirt collectors from all over the world who specialize in purchasing all kinds of goods at low prices or selling them to pirates. The weapons, ships, and equipment they need also include food, fresh water, etc.
From expensive luxury goods to large-scale transactions of daily necessities, everything is available here.
Occasionally, some businessmen will come to place an "order" and specify that they want certain goods or a certain ship. In this case, the captain needs to come to discuss business in person.
The Pirate Guild, composed of nine pirate kings, is the supreme ruler of the Shipwreck City. Without the permission of the Pirate Guild, no one can easily do business here. The Pirate Guilds are not in harmony with each other, and the Pirate Kings do not respect each other. It's pleasing to the eye, but due to the pirate code and guild regulations, it's not suitable to take action openly, but he never mind others taking action. It is for this reason that Jack Sparrow will sit back and watch Captain Sao Feng be killed - there is no need to worry about the Pirate King of South China It will cease to exist from now on. When a pirate king dies, a new one will naturally take his place.
Walking in the business district, Shen Yi could feel the atmosphere here that was completely different from other places.
Different from the lively and peaceful atmosphere on land, everyone here is a vicious person. No matter the buyer or seller, everyone is not a good person. The clerk in front of the store is certainly a big and thick man, who comes to sell or sell. Most of the customers who buy goods are people who carry knives and dance with guns.
Therefore, it is often possible to see both parties wielding swords and bargaining, swearing and swearing, and even threatening life at every turn, which is a scene.
But Shen Yi's attention is not on this aspect.
His eyes focused more on the spatial structure of the entire ship city, on the thick wooden piles, iron chains and the ships themselves that connected the ships.
When walking under some support pillars, Shen Yi either stopped to lean against and rest for a while, or had a casual chat with Lyle, or just bought some worthless little things in the shop.
After walking through almost all the ground floor areas, Shen Yi finally stopped.
"Did you see everything clearly? Lyle."
"Yes, sir, the entire shipwreck city is fixed by 342 iron chains, and there are 684 support pillars, but there are only 32 main support pillars, and the distribution positions have all been marked. As long as the explosion If one-third of the support columns are broken, half of the entire shipwreck city will collapse. If half of the main support columns are blown up, the entire shipwreck city will collapse... That would not even require a hundred kilograms of explosives."
"It's easier to destroy than to build, isn't it?" Shen Yi said lightly.
"Yes, sir, the problem is that I don't understand why we are doing this. Didn't you and Captain Jack have an agreement? I believe he won't like to see this situation."
"I don't need his favor, as long as he can be useful when I need him."
"You seem to have something else in mind?"
Shen Yi did not answer. He just looked around the entire Shipwreck City, with a light of longing in his eyes: "This will be a good battlefield, Lyle, although I hope I won't need it."
"It's a pity that reality always goes against ideals, sir. Beautiful expectations are like fragrant flowers in spring, they always wither easily..."
"I didn't expect you to be a poet." Shen Yi laughed.
"That used to be my dream, but in the end I became a soldier. I wanted to bring joy and thinking to people, but the result was only blood and killing."
"So reality is always crueler than dreams, and the worst thing is that you still can't get rid of it." Shen Yi sighed.
"Then face it bravely, just like you did, and work hard to overcome all hardships." Lyle replied.
Shen Yi laughed and patted Lyle on the shoulder: "You will become the most outstanding soldier."
"It is my greatest honor to serve you." Lyle bowed to Shen Yi.
At this moment, a noisy fight suddenly came from the distance.
The fight was like a whirlpool, attracting the crowd, and faintly loud roars could be heard.
Shen Yi winked at Lyle, and Lyle left knowingly.
Shen Yi himself walked towards the noisy place.
After squeezing through the turbulent crowd, in front of them were several pirates lying on the ground wailing loudly. Two of them had their hands and feet broken, and one had a mouth full of blood. Even his tongue was pulled out. Dozens of pirates surrounded a few people and attacked, shockingly. It was Honglang and the others.
"Damn it!" Shen Yi instinctively slapped his forehead.
No need to ask, these guys must have caused trouble again.
At this moment, a large group of pirates were surrounding Hong Lang and their attacks, while the four of them retreated to a corner, forming a defensive circle. The fat man held a heavy shield at the front, like a dam blocking most people's attacks. The other three took turns taking turns to fight, with two fighting and one resting, easily blocking the pirates' attack - looking at the posture, it was clear that they were working together as a team.
Under such circumstances, they still had the energy to practice combat formations, which showed that Hong Lang and the others at least still had the ability to control the situation. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to take action, but looked around and saw the parrot flying in the sky. . So Shen Yi whistled, and when the parrot saw Shen Yi, it flapped its wings and flew over, landed on his shoulder, flapped its chest with one wing and shouted: "Oh, I'm scared to death, these People are really cruel."
"Tell me what happened."
"It's nothing, just some minor misunderstandings..." The Destiny Parrot then talked about what happened after he left.
The matter is actually very simple. Hong Lang and the others originally just wanted to stroll around this area and relax themselves, but they did not expect that they overlooked one thing - the presence of gentleness.
Pirates are a very special group. Life on the water is far more difficult than people imagine. There are very few women on pirate ships. In a long life at sea, a large group of energetic men cannot meet women, even old sows. Diao Chan, let alone such a beauty as Wen Wen.
There are usually only two types of women who can live in a shipwreck city. One is a pirate, and the other is a prostitute.
When they were on the Black Pearl, there were many sailors who coveted Gentleness, but they had seen Gentleness' methods and knew that this thorny rose could not be touched. The pirates in the Shipwreck City did not know that, there were always people who drank too much urine. They came up to tease me. They were used to being pirates, and robbery was the right way to go, and there were no restrictions on their actions.
So just walking a short distance, they ran into trouble.
For adventurers, every goal in the mission world is like a lamb in the eyes of a hungry wolf. The only difference is that some sheep are valuable and some are worthless.
When can a wolf stand being bullied by a lamb?
So the next development became logical.
Several pirates regarded Wen Wen as a prostitute and wanted to take this woman back to have a good time. As a result, their hands and feet were directly broken, and one of them even had his tongue pulled out. This behavior seriously angered a large number of pirates, and the conflict instantly intensified. , and quickly evolved into the current situation.
"So that's it..." After understanding the cause and effect of the matter, Shen Yi frowned deeply.
