People's Grand Voyage, I start a game with a ghost ship - Chapter 371
c371 Post-battle cleaning, part 1
The naval battle is over, and next is the battlefield cleaning session.
This process can take several days, far longer than the actual battle.
The surrounding area of two to three nautical miles has become a mess, with floating debris, scattered supplies, and body parts everywhere, some of which may have sunk.
Yang Yi checked the ship interface and asked Su Na to check the battle damage.

The Nightmare Star’s durability dropped by 8372, and there were several shelling marks on the hull and deck. A small hole was blown open, and two flooded cannons were destroyed.
In addition, there was no other damage. It was considered a minor injury and would probably recover in two or three days.
If Tricia uses the light spell to increase the activity of the vines, the recovery time can be reduced by one day, and there is almost no need for manual repair.
The cabin was a mess. Because naval battles required frequent changes in the direction of the ship, and the impact of shelling, many of the supplies inside were scattered.
Fortunately, the loss was very small, only thirty cans of “beef” were lost.
These cans rolled on the floor and were unfortunately crushed by heavy objects. They were damaged and leaked out. They could only be fed to the Vibrant Sardine Tree…
“It seems that we need to develop the habit of fixing supplies in the future. It’s okay to sail, but once we encounter battles or storms, the cabin will violently shake and cause losses.”
Yang Yi secretly concluded.
The opponent in this naval battle is not strong. In the player’s fleet, he is probably at the bottom. After all, the opponent’s ship does not have many warships.
He returned to the deck of the Nightmare Star and used the grappling hook to gather these ships together, preparing to occupy them together and loot the supplies inside.
As for the sunken and broken ship, there is nothing we can do. We cannot salvage it in the deep sea. We can only use fishing nets to recover the fragments and convert them into basic materials, and then salvage floating supplies.
…………
Inside the Witch’s Laboratory.
This place is like another space, independent from the battlefield, completely unaffected by the war.
Because Suna’s layout was very good, and so were the details. All fragile items were firmly fixed by brackets, so there was no risk unless they were directly hit by a cannonball.
Even the metal bed is attached to the floor of the room with removable screws.
Now there are three new “visitors” in the laboratory, who are fixed on three metal beds and placed side by side. They are the half-murloc leader who is divided in half on the left and right, and the half-murloc who is divided in half on the top and bottom (the upper body is a fish, and the lower body is a human). And a giant murloc for reference.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
The half-murloc leader kept struggling, half of the fish’s body slapping and bouncing, to no avail, and was firmly fixed to the bed by a leather belt.
The performance of the brother next to him is much worse. It may be because it has a fish head, its intelligence has decreased, or it lacks vocal organs. In short, it can’t say anything except opening and closing its mouth and making a grunting sound of fear.
Su Na pushed a small table on wheels over. What was on it was not food or drinks, but some equipment that might be used in surgery, such as scissors, pliers, scalpels of various sizes, and even bone saws. Chisels, scroll saws, etc.
“You…what are you going to do?! I’m not sick!”
The half-murloc leader was so frightened that he roared hysterically, and he spoke in human language again, using the common language of humans.
Suna frowned and looked over, but she wore a disease mask on her face and her expression was hidden behind the mask.
“So you can speak human language?” she asked.
“Yes… yes!”
I wasn’t a fish-man originally, but… I was the village chief. He used evil spells to turn everyone into this ghostly creature that was neither human nor fish! ”
The half-murloc leader replied, speaking quickly but with a slight stutter. This was a sign of extreme panic, because Suna had already picked up a scalpel and was about to attack.
What about the cross-examination session? ? ?
He was shaking.
Fortunately, Suna was just thinking about where to start, because this thing was too weird.
It’s like splitting a huge fish vertically and merging it with a person who split it vertically. The contact parts are completely and perfectly fused, and then an arm and leg are attached to the fish.
So this man only has half a face and half a mouth, and the other half is a fish head, and the fish mouth is even higher up than the human mouth.
“Where is it?”
Suna pointed at the big fish-man, and the latter reacted immediately, struggling wildly, losing a lot of its scales, and making strange noises of unknown meaning.
It seems that not all fishmen can speak fishman language.
“It…it was brought by the village chief, I don’t know the details.
Cook Island is about to die. Everyone is looking for ways to survive, walking or dying. Finally, the village chief found a way, saying that as long as everyone transforms into fish-men, they can survive… ….”
The half-murloc leader explained, it didn’t look like he was lying, and the cause and effect of the whole incident were explained.
Cook Island was once prosperous. Because of the existence of the Grand Cross, many scavengers were willing to try it out and get a chance to retire in one fell swoop.
When it was extremely prosperous, the island’s population even exceeded 100,000, with a large number of ships moored and a terrifyingly high living density.
Even the Gold Chamber of Commerce decided to stay here for a long time.
However, as the number of scavenging increased, almost all the things that could be moved in the Big Cross were moved away, and except for some particularly dangerous areas, they were almost worthless.
So Cook Island began to go downhill. Until now, the total population is less than 3,000, and there are only more than 100 fishing boats in total, struggling to make a living.
Moreover, Cook Island is about to fail. It has begun to age and its area has shrunk, which further caused panic. Then the village chief proposed to turn into a fishman, and a transformation ceremony was needed.
The reason for their attack was also very simple. The ceremony required tribute. They were going to buy it at the Gold Chamber of Commerce, but they didn’t find it. They happened to find the Nightmare Star, so they had a crooked mind.
“These fishmen are simply idiots. If I knew it was a skeleton ship, I would definitely not come!
They said they found a big ship with people fishing on it, so I led the team here. I might also become a fish brain…”
The half-fishman spoke more and more fluently, and he began to regret turning into a fishman.
The villager next to him whose upper body had turned into a fish kept shaking his fish head, as if to agree.
Su Na recorded these words, extracted the key information, and sent a copy to Yang Yi.
Before she asked, this guy told everything he knew like pouring beans.
This saves trouble.
Like a qualified listener, Su Na listened to the whole story without expressing any opinion, then raised the scalpel and prepared to cut…
“Wait…wait! I told you everything, shouldn’t you let me live? I can take you to Cook Island!”
The leader of the half-fish man said.
But in fact, Yang Yi had already determined the location of Cook Island with the help of the lookout, so it didn’t matter whether he was there or not.
Besides…..
“I never said I would let you go. This is all your own idea. The purpose of catching you here is to see how you turned into a fish…”
The scalpel cut along the dividing line between human and fish on the surface of the half-fish man, accompanied by a tragic scream.
“Ah!!!!!!!”
