Farming game: Survival for all [StarCraft]

049
Sailing on the sea is a test of patience, especially when you take a route you have never taken before. You don’t know what is waiting for you ahead, and you don’t know whether you can eventually reach your desired destination.

This is the case with Abbott's fleet. After a long sea voyage, all they saw was still the vast ocean, and they couldn't even find an island. Even though Abbott insisted on following the map on the parchment scroll and believed that he would definitely find the legendary new world, the crew still couldn't avoid depression and irritability.

If Abbott himself was not authoritative enough and most of the crew members came from his relatives' factories, Abbott would have ended up like other captains, being thrown into the sea to feed the fish by the restless crew members.

From ancient times to the present, being a captain has a dangerous job, especially when sailing on the sea for too long without being able to see land, and the food supplies they brought are gradually disappearing. Even the most normal crew members will go crazy, and if they go crazy, the captain will be in trouble.

Even in the Abbott fleet, there were several small-scale riots.

Although the riots were eventually settled, they still had an impact on Abbott's fleet.

Not to mention the bad news coming from the kitchen. Their drinking water would run out in just two days.

By then, the situation will probably be even worse.

Even Abbott, who firmly believed that they would find a new world, could not help but have doubts. Could they really find a new world? Was there really a new world? Would he die before he found it?

On the third day when the drinking water ran out, after a riot, Abbott went to untie the wine bag around his waist, but he couldn't pour out a sip of wine. Then he remembered that he had drunk the last sip of rum yesterday. At this time, the sun was shining in the sky, and there was no sign of rain.

Is it really possible that I am going to die at sea?
A wave of despair surged in Abbot's heart, and he regretted coveting the noble status given by King Gama to find the so-called new world.

The New World had been discovered for fifty years, and so many people had been searching for it on the sea, but they still hadn't found it. He still didn't believe it and insisted on giving it a try. Now, the fresh water was gone, the wine was gone, the vegetables and fruits were gone, and most of the crew members died on the way. If this continued, he would probably be the next to die.

Abbott no longer hopes to find a new world, he just hopes to see a piece of land, even an island will do!

I don’t know if the Lord God heard his prayers, but suddenly, three super silver-white ships appeared from the blue sea, with bright red flags flying on the ships.

It was a flag that Abbott had never seen before, and it was different from the flag of any country or pirate he knew of.

Abbott narrowed his eyes, trying to observe the huge monster that suddenly appeared in the distance, but he did not notice that in addition to the huge monster, a dozen "big birds" were also flying towards them in the air.

"Alert alert!"

Abt took heart, and while asking the crew to push out the cannons to be on alert, he continued to look into the distance. However, his eyesight was not enough to see that far. Abt regretted not buying two elves to take with him. The eyesight of elves is much better than that of humans, and it will definitely come in handy at this time.

However, Abbott did not have any extra time to think about these things, because the three fleets were coming towards them at a speed beyond his imagination. When they were closer, Abbott realized that the three ships were of a style he had never seen before. Even the shipyard of his relatives had never seen anything like this.

What made Abbot even more uneasy was that he found that these three fleets were more than twice as large as his main ship. Which country's shipyard built such a large ship? Could it be Sigiriya? Their country was the first to discover the New World, circled the most land on that continent, had a strong naval military force, and had the largest shipyard... Wait! That is, what is that...

Abbott's eyes widened as he finally spotted the dozen or so 'big birds' flying over the three large ships. They were huge and cold, just like the three fleets.

They were not the seabirds that Abbott thought they were at all. They were more like escorting the three fleets!
Oh my God, what on earth is this!
**
"I feel like the other party is going to be scared silly, why don't we stop here and shout?"

Unlike Abbott who had to rely on his eyesight, the navy fleet was holding high-definition telescopes produced by the manor, and they could see the expressions on the other fleet clearly.

After the commander estimated that the distance was about right, he used a walkie-talkie to tell the entire fleet to stop moving forward, and then shouted to the other side with a loudspeaker.

"Listen, people in front, this is the Huameng Navy... Please stop immediately... to avoid misunderstanding..." (Note ①)
However, the polite call of the Huameng Navy did not seem to be accepted by the other side. Before the Huameng Navy called out for the second time, the other side actually began to fire wooden cannons at this side. With a sound of wooden cannons, other crew members pushed old-fashioned artillery and fired at the Huameng side.

However, the enemy seemed to have overestimated the range of their firepower. The bullets fell into the sea halfway through their flight, and the shells exploded midway.

**
When people are facing an unknown behemoth, especially when they are on an unfamiliar ocean and have been away from land and other people for a long time, with only blue in sight, they will be shocked when a huge monster far beyond their imagination suddenly appears.

Especially when that loud sound, as if it was right next to his ear, rang out, the string of fear broke instantly. By the time Abbott reacted, he had already untied the wooden gun on his back and opened fire at the source of his fear.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of his gun was like a whistle, and the other crew members, who were frightened by the strange ship, the big bird, and the weird noises, began to open their warehouses and fire their cannons.

This is the most instinctive reaction of humans when facing fear. When they are frightened to the extreme, any slight movement will turn them into frightened birds. The string of rationality collapses, and they only remember to attack by all means to dispel the fear and protect themselves.

However, they don't realize that this behavior is seeking death.

The Huameng, who had originally intended to treat the enemy with courtesy, immediately changed their decision after hearing the sound of the wooden cannon, and said, "Fire!"

At the command, the navy, which was ready for battle at any time, fired the first shot in the sea defense war in another world.

Unlike the enemy's short-range artillery fire, the artillery shells from the Huameng side rushed to the enemy's ship very quickly. At the same time, the planes in the air also changed their formation, rushing forward suddenly, focusing their fire on the mobile cannons on the enemy's ship.

After a fierce concentrated fire attack, it took only five minutes from the opponent's wooden warehouse to the wooden warehouse stopping.

The crew of Abbot's fleet were terrified when the Chinese Alliance fired shells at them. They were not professional navy men, but just a group of rabble who wanted to gain wealth at sea. They relied on their artillery fire, the fact that they had conquered and killed countless indigenous races of the New World with these artillery fire, and their past victories at sea. They never thought that one day their artillery fire would be of no use at all.

When the "big bird" flew over and blew up all their cannons, all the crew members became limp and had no will to resist. They jumped into the sea or threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender.

Even Captain Abbott could not maintain his composure. After he had used up all his bullets by opening the wooden warehouse recklessly, he was knocked unconscious by the explosion.

Before he lost consciousness, Abbott thought that he might have had a nightmare. If it wasn't a nightmare, how could there be such strange big birds and big ships? How could they, who were equipped with the most advanced weapons supported by the kingdom, be defeated so quickly and miserably?
This must be a nightmare. Everything will be fine when you wake up.

Then Abbott opened his eyes and met a pair of large, black eyes. He was so frightened that he immediately woke up and subconsciously wanted to escape, but he found himself lying on the ground with silver handcuffs on his hands.

"scare!"

The exclamation did not come from Abbott, but from the pair of black eyes that frightened Abbott.

Abbott looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was a green-skinned goblin, the lowest race, which could be bought for 10 copper coins on the market.

However, that green-skinned goblin was very different from any other green-skinned goblins he had seen before. It was not afraid of people at all, nor did it seem timid. Instead, it was full of boldness and curiosity. Even after being startled, its eyes did not leave Abbott.

He was also wearing strange black and white striped clothes, instead of being wrapped in something dirty and unrecognizable like the goblins in Abbott's impression - perhaps clothes, cardboard, or sacks.

What surprised Abbott the most was that when the goblin realized that it was Abbott who scared him, he became angry and rushed to the iron railing and kicked Abbott in the face.

Abbott hadn't expected that this lowly green-skinned goblin would dare to do such a thing, and he was kicked hard in the face.

"Damn bastard!" Abbot, who had never suffered such a humiliation, reacted quickly and was ready to fight the green-skinned goblin to the death. However, the green-skinned goblin had already retreated to the corner, grinning and making faces at Abbot, looking extremely happy.

Abbott subconsciously wanted to take out his wooden basket, but found that he had nothing on him except the clothes.

"Quiet! Don't make trouble!"

Just when Abbott was angry and confused, the prison guard appeared.

With the help of the bright light, Abbott saw the appearance of the prison guard at a glance - black hair and black eyes, facial features completely different from theirs, and a height taller than Abbott, who was 1.73 meters tall even in the Kingdom of Gamei, and a solid body wrapped in a strange uniform.

This, this is...

"New World Humans?!"

***
"Humans from the New World?" Xia Ji looked at the surveillance screen of the prison. The blond man had a shocked look on his face. He mistook the prison guard for the so-called humans from the New World. He couldn't help but be very confused. Could it be that the people who looked like them in the Huameng as rumored were the so-called humans from the New World?
And looking at the appearance of this man, he is obviously a genuine foreigner. He looks almost the same as the Western foreigners in the main world. So there should be people from the Chinese Alliance in this secondary world as well, right?
The Age of Discovery has already begun, is there still no news about the Orientals?

Or is it that this alien world only has foreigners, and there is no such great Eastern power as their Huameng did in ancient times?

Xia Ji was very curious about the news. Of course, not only her, but the entire gaming team was curious.

After the drone spotted these people at sea, they planned to go over and meet them, preferably to invite them to be guests and ask about the current situation in the secondary world.

Who knew these people would open fire without saying a word - well, the Chinese Alliance had considered that they might not be willing to be guests, but wanted to be the invader and the host, so they specially sent out the three largest ships and planes, thinking that by doing so, they would deter the other party, and they should not be so blind.

Who knew they were so tough and opened the wooden warehouse just as they said.

Now, forget about being a guest, just be a prisoner. The Chinese Alliance doesn’t need to treat you with fine wine and food to ask for information, just interrogate you directly.

Because they had not exchanged fire with such a backward fleet for a long time, although the Chinese Alliance held back a little and even collected their shells after discovering that they were fragile, they still accidentally killed too many enemies. Those who surrendered were captured alive, and some of those who jumped into the sea were rescued. In the end, all they counted were left with only about a hundred people.

Among these one hundred people, the most valuable one is probably the captain of their fleet, Abbott.

Important people require important interrogation methods, but the captain was quite perceptive at this time. After trying some tricks and failing, he just answered whatever was asked.

And the game team finally gained a preliminary understanding of this different world.

This is a world with only four continents.

To be precise, in Abbott's knowledge, including the newly discovered New World, there are only four continents in the world, and each continent is home to many countries with different races. However, Abbott has never heard of a race with black hair and black eyes like the Huameng people, let alone the great Eastern country.

There are dwarves with black hair and black eyes, and there is also a dwarf kingdom established by dwarves, but this does not match the Huameng people. The dwarves are not as tall as the Huameng people, and their eyes are not as pure black.

Therefore, when Abbott saw the prison guard for the first time, he attributed him to the New World race.

Yes, the more Abbott thought about it, the more he felt that the Chinese Alliance was a race from the New World. Not only were they a race he had never seen before, but also because of the Chinese Alliance's warships, the Chinese Alliance's "big birds", the Chinese Alliance's artillery, everything, refreshed Abbott's cognition and imagination.

At this time, he remembered the story of the legendary Emperor Xilian and his various legends.

In that era without artillery fire, Emperor Xilian could produce artillery shells. So how could the new world that he himself said was full of huge wealth not have more advanced artillery shells? How could it be that there was no one guarding it?

It's ridiculous that they were blinded by the achievements in the New World, dazzled by the victory at sea, and tempted by the legendary new world. They thought that they could gain huge wealth by finding the new world. Little did they know that the princess was guarded by a dragon. How could the legendary treasure be easily accessible to mortals like them?
Abbott regrets now, especially his own frivolity and overestimation of his own abilities, which has led him to this situation.

If he had been more cautious, if he had not easily believed the lies that finding a new world would bring him a huge fortune, if he had not wanted to gain noble status...

Lord God, can I still survive?
