Volume 1? Across the Seven Seas [022] The Orphan of House Town
Three days later
The southwest shore of Vidalia Island, House Fishing Port.
The Black Knife avoided several reefs and drove into the fishing port smoothly, but the once prosperous fishing port is now empty.
"Has Jobs been here?"
Hawkins stood on the deck, smelling the stinking smell of corpse, and asked Jenny next to him.
Although he had been with Hawkins for several days, Jenny was still afraid of Hawkins. She shrank slightly and replied, "Come."
"Get off the boat!" Hawkins was silent for a moment, and then spoke.
Several sailors threw the anchor into the sea water and quickly lowered the ladder. After Hawkins got off the boat, he walked straight to Housetown.
Some people may think that if a person has lived for so long, he will definitely be very open-minded and will not keep anything in his heart.
But this is not the case. It is precisely because of losing and experiencing boundless loneliness that Hawkins cherishes life more because he understands life is hard-won than anyone else.
In the vast universe, the chance of encountering life is countless times lower than winning the lottery.
Therefore, every life in his heart is a priceless treasure.
Although there are sometimes some bad species that force him to clean up.
Mark got off the boat and looked at Hawkins's back and whispered to Qiao Si who had just got off the boat, "The captain is in a bad mood."
"Because the captain is a good person." Qiao Si said lightly, and then spoke to Jenny on the boat: "Miss Jenny, come down quickly, we must follow the captain."
Only Hawkins has the ability to protect Jenny, so Qiao Si doesn't want them to leave Hawkins too far, so as not to be exploited by other forces.
House Town, a small town that was originally prosperous because of fishery, has now become dilapidated and broken corpses can be seen everywhere on the streets.
These corpses emit a foul smell and are covered with maggots, and it is difficult to distinguish their original appearance.
Mark walked on the street, his expression gradually changed from joking and disrespect to seriousness. He saw several vague corpses, who used their bodies to protect the baby under him, but in the end neither the mother nor the son could escape the bad luck.
""
Mark walked behind Hawkins and saw a huge footprint in front of Hawkins.
These footprints do not look like human footprints. Not only are they thick heels, but their toes are also particularly long, so they should have very sharp nails.
"Captain, this is not left by Jobs, right?" He walked to the footprints and squatted down, looking at the footprints that were at least half a meter long, and couldn't help asking.
If this footprint was really left by Jobs, is Jobs tall now?
Hawkins shook his head and said, "It's not Jobs, it should be another creature, but it should have nothing to do with Jobs."
He could tell all the smells in House Town, which were very special, mixed with the smell of many people's blood, and the smell of this footprint was very single.
"Come with me!"
Suddenly, Hawkins' ears moved and he immediately looked at the woods outside House Town.
The woods outside House Town are like a typhoon passing through, burying a hole under countless trees.
This is the secret base of several wandering teenagers in House Town, and now it has become the hiding place for the survivors in House Town.
They were covered with thick mud all over their bodies, and they came out carefully from the holes.
"The monster left?"
A young man asked in fear.
Next to the boy was a girl who looked a little malnourished. Her whole body was covered with mud, and only her pair of bright pupils were shining brightly.
Her name is Ai Miye, the leader of the wandering teenagers in Houston.
It was she who noticed the crisis in advance and decisively led the wandering orphans to leave House Town, and then escaped.
"That feeling disappeared, let's go to town." She was silent for a moment, and then spoke.
After she finished speaking, her face changed suddenly, and her whole body trembled involuntarily.
"Ai Miye, what's wrong with you?" The young man stopped again and asked strangely.
Ai Miye's forehead was gradually covered with cold sweat. She swallowed and said tremblingly: "There is a more terrifying monster in the town. He seems to have discovered us."
"What should I do? I'll say I shouldn't come out!" Behind Ai Miye, a boy about twelve or thirteen years old, said in horror.
Ai Miye gritted his teeth and said, "What he discovered should be me. I will lead him away. You guys should go back to the base and treasure!"
After saying that, she immediately ran to the opposite direction of House Town. Several teenagers looked at the oldest boy with panic expressions. The teenager wanted to catch up but couldn't rest assured that others. Finally, she glanced at the youngest child and shouted: "What are you still standing there? Go back and hide it!!!"
On the other side, Hawkins just walked out of town and found that the aura he had captured was away.
"Follow!"
He smiled faintly, and the next moment he was fully capable of his feet. The distance of hundreds of meters only took a few seconds for him. In an instant, he came to the secret base of the teenagers.
The boy at the forefront reacted the fastest. Hawkins stopped and immediately grabbed the wooden stick in his hand and slashed at Hawkins.
Although the boy was only fourteen or fifteen years old, he had been hiding in the fishing port of Haus Town for many years and had trained all his strength to transport seafood. If this stick hit an ordinary person, it would be enough to make people fall into a coma on the spot.
Unfortunately, he was facing Hawkins.
Before the wooden stick hit him, Hawkins stretched out his hand and bounced the boy's forehead, and then quickly chased him in the direction of Ai Miye's escape.
Bang!
The boy fell into nothing, and the wooden stick hit the broken tree and broke suddenly. Then he let out a 'oh' and covered his forehead and screamed.
At this time, a few dozen meters away, Ai Miye ran desperately, feeling very scared.
But there is nothing to do.
What the other party discovered was her. She could not implicate others, so she could only leave alone, hoping to attract the powerful monster away.
Suddenly, a vine tripped her ankle and she fell to the ground. After rolling for several rounds, her eyes were red and she quickly got up, gritting her teeth and continued running.
This place is too close to the base, so even if you die, you must die far away to avoid placing others.
"Are you not tired when you run so fast?"
Hawkins' voice sounded behind her, and her heart suddenly felt like someone was holding her. When she was nervous and distracted, her feet were tripped by a small stone and fell to the ground again.
But this time, before her face was touched, she was held back by Hawkins.
"Little girl, am I that scary?" Hawkins said hilariously.
Ai Miye struggled and said, "Let me go!"
"Okay, okay, but you have to stand firm and don't fall again." Hawkins let go slowly and said with a smile.
He naturally understood why the girl ran away. She didn't want to escape alone, but wanted to lure the enemy away.
This was a very noble sacrifice, although it seemed a little funny to him.
Ai Miye lowered her head. She was born with a nearly superpowered intuition, such as pirates who had killed many people, and even if she was mixed with the fishermen, she could clearly tell it.
A few days ago, when Jobs approached, she was the first to react and asked everyone to hide it without objection. However, she was slight and not many people were really willing to believe her.
It is precisely because of this unique talent that she could feel the terror of Hawkins, which was countless times more terrifying than Jobs.
If Jobs is compared to grains of sand, then Hawkins is like the sun, and the two are completely incomparable.
Hawkins took out his handkerchief and wiped the mud on his hands, looked at Ai Miye, who was covered in mud, handed it out and asked, "Do you need it?"
"No." Ai Miye shook his head and said.
Hawkins smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person."
""
Ai Miye didn't speak. She didn't know how many people Hawkins had killed, but it was definitely a lot of people. This was intuition.
"Okay, believe it or not, you can't escape now. Let's go back first. Your friends should be quite worried about you." Hawkins said helplessly when he saw that Ai Miye didn't believe it.
He put away his handkerchief and turned toward the hole. When Ai Miye saw it, he had to follow.
"Where are your parents?" Hawkins asked as he walked.
Ai Miye lowered his head and followed him coldly: "I don't know."
"Orphan?"
Hawkins thought to himself, and couldn't help but recall the thin and stubborn back a long time ago.
Then he stopped and turned around, looked at Ai Miye, and asked carefully: "Well, how about I be your father?"
"What the hell do you want to do?" Ai Miye finally couldn't help it and asked at Hawkins.
She didn't believe what Hawkins said from beginning to end.
In the past, many human traffickers pretended to be good people like Hawkins, but she knew very well that once they caught people on board, they would lock people in cages. They would be sold if they were lucky. If they were not lucky, they would die in cages and their bodies would be thrown into the sea at will.
"If I were a bad guy, what do you think I wanted to do, do you and those children have the ability to resist? I don't need to act. Children, although you are smart, your knowledge is too short, which will make you unable to see the situation clearly and make wrong judgments." Hawkins squatted down, without thinking it was dirty, and reached out to rub Ai Miye's head and explained gently.
The longer a person lives, the more regrets he has.
He knew very well that Ai Miye was not the stubborn and arrogant child in his memory, but he could not ignore a kind child like Ai Miye.
This is the elder's loving care for young lives.
Ai Miye looked at Hawkins suspiciously, still a little disbelief because she knew very well how bad a bad person could be.
Many people enjoy fooling others. Who knows if Hawkins suddenly changes his face after she believes Hawkins' words and then ridicule her for being innocent and stupid.
"Okay, let's go back first!" Hawkins said sadly.
How many hardships does a child in his teens have to go through to be so suspicious?
Hawkins continued to walk, laughing as he walked, "I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Hawkins, and my profession is considered a pirate."
"Love." Ai Miye didn't believe it.
She had never seen a pirate as clean as Hawkins.
Pirates often visit in House Town, but these pirates do not come to rob treasures, but to sell stolen goods and have fun.
There are not a thousand or eight hundred pirates she has seen. All of them are dirty and there is always an indescribable odor on her body.
