Infinite Throne

   Chapter 195 Running out of ammunition and food

   Twenty days later.

  The Queen sailed alone on the sea.

   dazed and helpless.

  ding ding ding—

  The Queen was everywhere, and there were various sounds of hammering.

  The pirates listlessly carried the planks to mend the potholes left by the Queen.

   ding ding ding.

   ding ding ding.

"what…"

  Charlie looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, and the sky was cloudless, but Charlie always felt that the sky seemed to exude a smell called sadness.

   Hmm, there seems to be a rum flavor too.

   on the lookout.

  No one noticed, Xiao Sa, who was good at playing with ropes, was rubbing his palms and slowly spitting out a white mist, and then took out an ancient compass from his close embrace, carefully identified the direction, and his expression gradually became excited.

  Cuckoo.

   From every corner of the deck, the sound of hungry stomachs could be heard.

   A pirate with a dark face took out a box from the bottom of the ship.

   "Hey guys, does anyone want some bread?"

bread?

   Hearing this word, the surrounding pirates suddenly dropped their work and rushed towards the box like a wolf.

   "Hey hey hey, this is Lao Tzu's treasure!"

   The moment the box is opened.

   A musty smell rose to the sky, and even Xiao Sa, who was standing high on the observation deck, also smelled the smell of moldy bread and couldn't help frowning.

Not only that.

   In the pile of dark green and moldy bread, there were also small fat white bugs wriggling.

   "Fuc...kkk! Even the worms are starving! They stole bread!"

   The others burst into tears.

   Generally speaking, pirates have the dignity of pirates, moldy bread can be eaten, but bread with worms is never eaten.

  Unless… really hungry.

"and many more!"

   Another pirate suddenly thought of a way, and secretly took out a piece of dried salted fish from a gap in a pile of wooden barrels.

"Yo-"

The moment    saw the dried salted fish, the pirates onlookers were all bright.

   Don’t get me wrong, this dried salted fish is also full of bugs, but it’s not for eating.

  The battle-hardened pirates have a unique way of dealing with a box of moldy and bug-infested bread.

   Just put the dried salted fish on the top of the bread, and the hungry bugs in the bread will run out of their own accord, dig into the dried salted fish and eat, and the bread will be clean.

   So.

   A group of pirates formed a circle on the deck, staring eagerly at the dried salted fish on the bread, silently in a daze.

after an hour.

  The dried salted fish was covered with white bugs, squirming endlessly.

   Moldy bread finally became "clean".

   nibbled bread.

   Someone couldn't help but glance at the closed hatch on the deck, his eyes full of desire.

   "It's almost time."

   Suddenly.

   A dog with meaty bones walked out of the captain's cabin in high spirits.

   By the way, he hooked with his hind legs and closed the door again.

Pirates have long been accustomed to the dog's clever actions. Around this time every day, the captain's dog would always run to the captain's room at regular intervals, make a fresh bone, and then squat on the deck to bask in the sun. Delicately picking the minced meat on the bones, there is a sound.

   coo dong.

   A whole boat of hungry pirates nibbling on moldy bread, their eyes bulging with bloodshot eyes, stared at the bones in the dog's mouth, and swallowed all the saliva in their mouths.

   By the way, I shed two lines of envious tears.

  Why even a dog has bones to eat, but we can only eat moldy bread?

   We are so envious!

  We want to be dogs too!

   Thinking about it now, there is nothing wrong with being a dog!

  Great captain, can you give me a chance to be a dog?

   All the pirates made a wish to be a dog in the next life at the same time.

   Just.

  The pirates just thought about it in their hearts, glanced a little in their eyes, and greedy in the corners of their mouths.

   Grab a dog's bone? Huh, it doesn't exist.

   Remember a few days ago.

  There was once a naive pirate who rushed to grab the bone from the dog's mouth because he was hungry.

   In the end, the dog, who looked weak, smashed his chest with a paw, and twitched on the deck for a full minute on the spot before he could die happily.

  Everyone clearly remembers that the poor pirate, as the Queen swayed on the waves, the broken bones in his chest rubbed against the deck, making a clicking sound, which was very pleasant and pleasant, but made everyone's scalp numb.

   Since that day, no pirate who is not afraid of death has dared to covet the bones in Wang Tiandi's mouth.

   However, the pirates learned that the dog has a good habit through observation.

Every time the dog finishes chewing on the bone, it will spit on the deck in disdain. At that time, there will be a group of hungry pirates who will pick up the dry bone desperately and lick the bone before it has time to completely dissipate. of meat.

  I can't eat meat, and a few bites are also excellent.

  Irin: "…"

   in the captain's cabin.

   After sending Wang Tiandi away with a spare bone, Yi Rin sat on the bed again and studied silently.

   In fact, he has not appeared in front of others for several days.

  The life on the ship is entirely handled by Ruth, the caring first mate.

   In the cabin, there are no other outsiders, Irin also simply released all restraints and comfortably showed her truest side.

   He finally understood why there are some women in the real world who don't like to wear underwear.

   This kind of unrestrained feeling really made Irin feel a sense of freedom to let go of herself.

  Irin silently gave a like.

   There is a roll of sheepskin in front of Irin.

   There are twenty-eight scratches on it.

   Today is the twenty-eighth day after sailing from Tetuga Island.

   "A third of the main mission 2 has passed?"

  Irin shook his head helplessly, took out another small book from under the pillow, and looked at the scribbled record on it.

   Originally, with Irin's memory, there was no need to memorize such things.

   But this kind of aimless sailing life really made it hard for Yi Rin to get up and remember such boring things, so he simply used this boring and stupid way to pass the time.

   "Sinking pirate ships: 6."

   "Severely damaged naval ships: 3."

   "Encountered the storm: 2 times."

   "Across the Thundercloud: 2 times."

   "Encounter a small vortex: 1 time."

   "Encounter with cute tentacled sea monsters: 1 time."

  “…”

   This is the record of "Queen".

   is also the reason why the Queen is so badly damaged.

   Every time Ruth mentioned this, she looked strange.

   She could never have imagined that in just 20 days, she had experienced such a rich "calamity".

   What is even more unexpected is that the Queen is still alive to this day.

  Irin closed her eyes and thought carefully.

   Soon, he opened the captain panel again.

   Now, Irin is already very proficient in various data and operations of the captain's panel.

  …

  【Captain Panel】

  【Name】Skull Gentleman

  【Flag】Gentleman's Flag

  【Reputation】22332/30000

  【Level】Famous all over the world

  【Skill】Captain's Eyes

  [Crew] Ruth Emily, Sax Sparrow, Wang Tiandi... (click for details)

  【Curse】"Bringing a woman on board will bring bad luck"

  【Fleet】Queen

  …

  As the reputation value required for the subsequent reputation level rises, the record of the above record is only to upgrade Yilin from "famous" to "famous".

   It seems that there is still a certain distance from "Pirate King".

  Irin shook his head, sighed, and put his finger on the [Queen].

  The Queen's crew, supplies, equipment goodness, damage, shells... All the data are clearly listed in front of you.

   "The comprehensive damage rate has reached 42%. Once it exceeds 50%, it is likely to affect the next voyage."

   "Furthermore, the supplies are currently in short supply..."

  Irin felt a headache again.

  This trial is not like in the game, you can skip the garbage time at will.

   Every minute and every second at sea, no matter how boring or boring, must be experienced bit by bit. As fresh water and food become more and more scarce, Yi Rin gradually feels the terror and vastness of the ocean.

   Even an apostle may not be able to fully endure this terrible loneliness and suffering.

  Irin silently took out half a piece of moldy brown bread from the storage space, and took a bite.

   Ruth, who was beside her, had come up and opened her mouth obediently.

Yi Rin glanced at the poor Ruth, and after stuffing the bread into her mouth, seeing that Ruth seemed to have a tendency to finish her mouthfuls, she immediately pulled out the long loaf of bread and quickly retracted the storage. In the physical space, so as not to be eaten by the hungry Ruth.

  Ruth licked her lips, and saw the tempting bread disappear "magically" again, her face full of resentment.

   "My dear captain, if you continue like this, you will lose me..."

"roll."

   For Ruth, Irin has always had this unsalty attitude.

  Ruth sighed and did not continue to splash.

   "Dear Rin, according to my calculations, if we can't find a way to replenish our supplies, our food and fresh water can only last for five days at most."

   In fact, if it wasn't for Yilin's magic tricks, and she could conjure "fresh" food out of thin air, Ruth would have been unable to hold on.

  Irin nodded and said nothing.

   "Besides, those guys started to sit still, if it wasn't for your dog... hehe."

For pirates, credit is shit, and betrayal is more commonplace. In this kind of situation where food and water are gradually depleting, if Wang Tiandi was not guarding it on the deck, those pirates would have risen up and rushed in desperately. Irin's room was robbed of food.

  After all, every day the dog can pick up a fresh meat bone from Yilin's room. If their captain didn't hide food...the devil would believe it.

  Irin already knew about Ruth's reminder.

  The biggest change on the captain panel is the number and loyalty of the crew in addition to the pile of material data.

  After these 20 days, various battles and shipwrecks have reduced Yilin's crew of nearly 200 people to 101 people...including a dog.

  It is worth mentioning that Charlie, the combat floor, is still alive, which is incredible.

   In addition to Wang Tiandi's loyalty still being zero, and Ruth's loyalty doubled strangely, the loyalty of other crew members plummeted, and many of them have fallen to negative numbers.

  —Mutiny at any time.

  As Ruth said, if it wasn't for the dogs, and Yiren's deterrent power in the previous naval battles, this group of lawless pirates would have overturned the rule of Captain Skeleton Gentleman long ago.

   Another half day passed.

  Saxophone on the observation deck suddenly raised the alarm frantically.

   "Another enemy ship?"

   Ruth's expression changed, she pulled her back expertly, and tied a standard bow on her chest. She quickly regained her "First Officer Louis" appearance and rushed out of the cabin.

  Because Ruth's figure is not as exaggerated as that of Elizabeth Rin, the efficiency of dressing is more than double that of Yi Rin.

   In this regard, Yi Rin was deeply helpless.

   Yi Rin quietly released Bai Xiaoyi and quietly inserted an eye on the deck.

   I could only see outside the boat, the light was dim.

   A layer of dense fog like substance pervades the surroundings.

  I don't know when, the Queen sailed into a sea filled with dense fog.

  I Rin saw that there was no enemy ship in his imagination, so he quickly put away Bai Xiaoyi.

ten minutes later.

  Ruth ran back again.

   It's just that her expression is a bit weird: "There seems to be an island ahead..."
