Chapter 224 Yu Chen
"What are you panicking about! Let's go and have a look."

The captain led a group of people out of the restaurant, followed by Chu Yao and Xiaoran.

She looked at Gong Xiaoran: "Do you see what it is?"

"It's not like Zerg, it's more like a shark. They should be able to deal with it." Xiaoran withdrew his consciousness.

"Well, we don't need to take action."

These days, besides being careful of storms and sharks, one must also be careful of zerg in the water when going out to sea.

However, the Zerg will not attack things larger than itself without the command of the "leader", which is very similar to a shark.

This is the experience that people have gained in the long-term struggle against the Zerg, so as long as the tonnage of the sea-going ship is large enough, there is no need to worry about the Zerg in the sea.

The shark circled a few times under the fishing boat before leaving, a false alarm.

Chu Yao and the others chose a relatively safe route. There are usually ships passing between the two places on this route. Unless you are unlucky, you don't have to worry about safety.

The boat sailed on the sea for nearly a week, and in the early morning of the sixth day, the land appeared where the sea and the sky meet, and they finally saw the island.

The fishing boat was moored at the port, and the crew members were busy with supplies, Chu Yao and Xiaoran came to the small town on the island to investigate the situation.

This is the largest piece of the Yaxiu Islands, and it is also the main island here. The name of the town is Haicha.

There are no flying tracks, no robots, and occasionally you can see a car or two parked on the side of the road.The two- and three-story simple small houses were built around the road. Compared with the bustling City of Unyielding, they lagged behind by more than an era.

Chu Yao and Xiaoran act separately.She walked around the street a few times, and noticed that there were almost no young people here, and all the old people with stooped figures stayed behind.

In front of the door of a small house, an old woman squatted on the steps, using her rough hands to neatly spread strips of black things on the concrete pavement.

She is drying something, it looks like kelp.

Chu Yao walked over and said, "Ma'am, are there no young people on this island?"

"You are from outside the island? You are really a rare visitor." The old lady replied slowly, "All the young people have left the island and went to the city, and we are old men and women... but I still have a grandson who stays in the town. He lives on the beach over there, you can ask him anything."

"thanks."

What Chu Yao thought was that a young man might be able to speak more clearly.

The town is not big, and it didn't take long for Chu Yao to find the beach that the old man mentioned.

A small wooden house stands on the mottled sandy beach. Outside the wooden house, a young man is sitting in front of a drawing board.

Chu Yao stepped forward lightly and noticed that the young man had broken a hand.His painting was finished, and he was sitting there looking at it now.

"What is the painting?"

"My vanished dream."

Chu Yao laughed, this man's words were quite interesting.

She cast her eyes on the frame—in the darkness, dots of light of different colors are scattered on it, which is intoxicating.

It looks like a painting of a starry sky.

"Why do you say that?"

"This largest, pale white star is the wandering star closest to us," the young man pointed to the drawing board with his good right hand, holding a paintbrush. "The other smaller white star is Lu Yexing. Continue Up, the light blue one is the winning star."

The paintbrush in his hand went all the way up: "The almost invisible red spot on the top is the Dragon Earth galaxy, 2.7 light-years away from us."

Chu Yao listened to him silently.

"But I would rather never know about this." The young man put down his paintbrush. "When I was a teenager, I also had longings and fantasies about this beautiful starry sky. What kind of person is going through what kind of life.”

"But now I can even count their names. The footprints of my compatriots are all over the stars, and the traces they left are crowded in every corner. People sing for the pioneers, but forget the original awe and respect.

The spacecraft unveiled the mysterious veil of this starry sky, and also shattered people's dreams. "The one-armed youth said in a low voice.

"You don't have to be so depressed, the universe is huge." Chu Yao answered from the side.

"Yes, the universe is huge. But the universe I can see is only the night sky in front of me, and a painting can fit it." The young man put away his emotions, stood up, and stretched out a hand to Chu Yao:

"Yu Chen, the acting mayor of Haicha Town. Some old man told you to come to me?"

"Chu Xiaoye, the president of Maowei Company." Chu Yao shook hands with him, "Are you the mayor?"

"To be honest, I don't really want to be one." Yu Chen smiled wryly, "But as you can see, there are almost no young people on this island, and I'm the only one to be."

"They all went to big cities inland?"

"Yes. The Yaxiu Islands are too small, and the industry is very single. There is almost no room for young people to develop. After the insect disaster, the original fishery was affected, and under the influence of various factors, more people left." He said. He skillfully put away the painting with one hand, "So, if President Chu wants to invest, he must think carefully about it."

Chu Yao burst into laughter: "I'm not here to invest."

"For sightseeing, I recommend a small island not far to the east, which can be reached in a few minutes by boat. From the highest point, you can see stretches of coral reefs, which are very beautiful."

"I... I'm not here to travel either."

"Then what are you here for? You came all the way to see me painting?" Yu Chen showed a surprised expression.

"I'm here to find a place." Chu Yao decided to go straight in.

She took out her mobile phone and showed Yu Chen the marked map.

"Here..." Yu Chen obviously hesitated, "Why did you find this small island?"

Judging by his appearance, it is estimated that there is something hidden.

"I found a treasure map in my hometown." Chu Yao lied cunningly, and came here as soon as she opened her mouth.

Yu Chen smiled, obviously didn't believe what Chu Yao said, picked up the collected picture scroll and walked towards his cabin.

"Why, don't people go here?"

"That's true." Yu Chen quickly walked out of the wooden house, "The area in the northwest corner does not belong to the management area of ​​Haicha Town. It was demarcated as a restricted area about a few decades ago. You can ask any person in the town. All the old people know."

"Restricted area?" Chu Yao was taken aback. "If it was decades ago, it should be the policy of Yali Company? But now Yali Company is gone."

"It's not Yali... I also forgot the specific name of that company, and the people there have never contacted the main island." Yu Chen shrugged, "If you must figure it out, maybe we can go to the bookstore in the town. Museum. Some materials from that year should be stored there.”

"You are really a laid-back mayor." Chu Yao teased, "Then shall we go there now?"

"it is good."
