Rise of the 1630s South America

"What's going on?" The water glass on Xiao Mingli's table suddenly tipped over and spilled out. The Yunsheng No. [-] Passenger and Cargo Ship, which was driving normally, stopped abruptly as if it was tripped by something. "Where did the shaking come from? Ran aground? Hit the ship?"

"I don't know! It's too dark outside, I can't see clearly." Liu Dafa, who had been looking out the window, was a little surprised, but soon his face was full of panic, "What's going on? How did the sky get brighter?!"

Xiao Mingli also felt a sudden light in the cabin, and the glaring white light filled the entire cabin.This is definitely not the effect produced by the dim lights in the cabin. Xiao Mingli closed his eyes subconsciously, and there were noisy and chaotic sounds in his ears, and the ship felt slightly tilted.

Soon, feeling that the cabin was back to normal again, Xiao Mingli opened his eyes, and rushed to the deck with one stride.It was still dark outside, the ship had stopped, and the roll seemed to have stopped.There was a faint voice shouting from the front left, but the wind was very loud on the channel, and it was hard to hear clearly.

There were more and more people on the deck, and everyone was discussing in one go, occasionally mixed with the sound of children crying.

"Please don't panic. Our ship ran aground unexpectedly. We are currently contacting the maritime department for rescue. Please return to the cabin in an orderly manner..." The tweeter on the ship rang and repeated over and over again.

"How's the situation?" Xiao Bailang, the captain of Yunsheng No. [-], asked anxiously, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

"There is no water in the cabin, and the hull is intact." The chief engineer Han Dezhi hurried up to report after checking the hull and equipment with others.

"Is anyone injured? Go to each cabin to check, and give first aid to those who are injured." Xiao Bailang waved his hand and signaled the ship doctor to deal with it quickly. "Is the navigation device still out of signal?"

"Well, not only that, the Maritime satellite phone can't be connected. And..." First officer Wang Tiehammer took out the mobile phone in his pocket, and there was no signal either.

Xiao Bailang was speechless, and after a long time, he asked: "What's the matter with the barge? It also ran aground? It's really strange. This channel has been traveling for so many years, and it is now a wet season. How could it run aground?"

No one could answer. The vision that happened in the sky just now made everyone vaguely have bad associations.

The stewardesses on board went into each cabin and asked each passenger how they were and what help they needed.With their efforts, the passengers regained their composure for a while, and the noise gradually became smaller.

"It's the sea breeze!" Wang Qinian said decisively, smelling the fishy and damp air, "I've blown it in the Zhoushan Islands for three full years, and I can't make a mistake."

"Sea breeze? No way? We are sailing on the inland river of the Yangtze River." Ma Ganzu, director of a county-level municipal party committee office, handed Wang Qinian a cigarette, wondering.

"That's why I'm very strange. And didn't you notice it?" Wang Qinian turned on his strong flashlight and looked into the distance, "The river we ran aground is only about [-] meters wide, and the water depth is at most three or four meters. At present, our position should be the mouth of this river, at least not far from the mouth of the sea."

"Don't think too much." Ma Ganzu threw the cigarette butt into the river, and walked towards the cabin in a blink of an eye, "We will know the situation at dawn."

The waiter distributed many biscuits to the passengers and brought hot water to everyone.The dissatisfaction of the passengers subsided a lot, and most of them quietly waited for the arrival of the rescuers, and some even went back to their beds to sleep in peace.

*********************************

Shao Shude muttered dissatisfiedly, and got up from the bed.The sun had already risen, and the sound on the deck was very noisy. It seemed that many people were arguing emotionally, and some people were crying.

"What's the matter?" Shao Shude patted the shoulder of the person in front of him lightly. This is a young man in his twenties. He and Shao Shude are fellow villagers. They met on the boat. The two chatted quite well yesterday.

"Brother Shao! Something big happened!" The young man Qian Hao waved his arms violently and said excitedly, "We have crossed! This is not the Yangtze River! We have crossed!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Shao Shude almost blurted out this sentence, but thinking of the weird situation last night, he held back his words again.

"And, brother Shao, look at the sky!" Qian Hao looked up at the sun excitedly.

"Grass!" Shao Shude was also stunned now, it was almost 08:30 in the morning, and the sun was already high.But this is not the point, the point is that the sun is actually hanging in the northern sky!What does this mean?This shows that they are now in the southern hemisphere!

"Hasn't anyone from the maritime department come to rescue?" Shao Shude knew he was wrong as soon as he said this sentence. Damn, it's all in the southern hemisphere, so why not save it!

"All the communication equipment on the ship is out of order, and I haven't been able to contact anyone since last night! There is no signal for the satellite navigation!" Qian Hao said while pointing to the captain's room, "Look, the door of the captain's room is blocked. A group of people are looking for an explanation."

Shao Shude looked up, and sure enough, there was a group of people standing darkly at the door of the captain's cabin, but their voices were too noisy to hear what they were talking about.

"Passenger friends..." Xiao Bailang's forehead was covered with sweat, his collar was pulled crookedly, his voice was already a little hoarse: "We are verifying the specific situation! Please rest assured, we have sent people ashore for help! "

Passengers were obviously dissatisfied with this rhetoric, and they began to condemn in a hurry. Some grumpy people even started to push and shove, and the security guards rushed forward to separate the crowd.

"Hey! They're back! Wang Tiechui and the others are back!" Security captain Lin Youde suddenly yelled, attracting everyone's attention.

"It seems to be a few of them!"

"No! Someone is chasing them!"

"Damn it! Who is that? His face is painted like a ghost!"

"Ah! Indians! Is this a movie?"

Xiao Bailang rushed away from the crowd, leaned on the railing, and looked forward.It really was his first mate, Wang Tiehammer!

In the morning, Wang Tiechui took two security guards ashore in a lifeboat to ask for help. It has only been more than two hours, why did he come back?And he was kicked back?Who is behind that?With animal skins all over his body and bird feathers on his head, he was yelling for nothing.

The three of Wang Tiechui climbed onto the lifeboat and quickly started their engines to drive towards the center of the river. Fortunately, the pursuers were still a little far away and had no long-range weapons, which allowed them to get out of danger smoothly.

"Oh my god, I'm back!" Wang Tiechui sat slumped on the deck, panting heavily.

"Did you find anyone? What happened? Who is chasing you?" Xiao Bailang threw a series of doubts at Wang Tiehammer, his tone quick and anxious.

"We...we haven't met anyone after searching for a long time." Wang Tiechui took a breath, and said: "This place is like a wilderness, and there is no sign of human activities at all. It's not right, we met these Indians People. Grandma is a bear. When she saw us from afar, she rushed over with a spear and yelled, as if she saw her father and enemy."

Xiao Bailang turned his eyes to the other two security guards, they nodded at the same time, confirming that what Wang Tiehammer said was true.

"Boom!" The crowd exploded at once, and the news brought back by Wang Tiechui spread at an astonishing speed. Those who heard it were either happy or sad, or bewildered, or emotional.

"A lot of Indians are coming again!" Someone suddenly shouted.

Sure enough, the "suspected Indians" who had been chasing Wang Tiehammer just now had rushed to the shore, holding their spears to demonstrate there.At the edge of the woods behind them, more than a dozen people in the same attire as them appeared, and they were rushing towards the river bank.

"What are they doing? Ah, I've been hit by an arrow!" A hapless ghost suddenly screamed.The crowd dispersed like a frightened herd of deer.The boat doctor dragged the first-aid kit and rushed over immediately. After a closer look, he found that the guy hadn't been hit by an arrow at all, but his sleeve was pierced by the arrow.Soon, a few more arrows landed on the deck sporadically.Several barges and tugboats stranded ahead were also taken care of by bows and arrows, and the few people who were looking around quickly hid in the cabin.

"It's a bone arrow! The workmanship is very rough." Wang Qinian picked up a scattered arrow, "Looking at the strength of the arrow just now, the bow is not much stronger, at least it is not well maintained."

"We have to find a way to drive them away." A 28-nine-year-old black-faced man leaned over, "There are many high-precision hunting crossbows in the cargo hold, which are much stronger than their broken bows and arrows. Just shoot down a few , most of those savages dispersed at once.”

"This...is it against the law?" Ma Ganzu was a little uncertain.

"You're breaking the law!" Xiao Bailang on the side spat out viciously, "They've already shot us with arrows, why don't we give them a few shots? Xiao Lin, take a few people to the warehouse and take some hunting crossbows Come up."

The security captain Lin Youde responded quickly, took a few security guards and hurried down to the warehouse.

The "suspected Indian" on the opposite side was still shouting there, and even a few wooden javelins flew towards the barge and Yunsheng No. [-], but fortunately no casualties were caused.

"Captain, the hunting crossbow is here." Lin Youde and four security guards rushed over each dragging a cardboard box.

The black-faced man assembled the hunting crossbow without saying a word, then loaded the arrow, cocked it, and took aim.

"噗!" The 8mm featherless arrow flew out quickly, and a "suspected Indian" on the river bank wobbled and fell down. "Chess!" "Chess!" The black-faced man finished loading two more arrows and shot them out, without blushing or panting, both arrows hit the target.

The "Indians" on the shore and the passengers on the boat looked dumbfounded at the same time. The "Indian" froze for a moment, then turned around and ran towards the woods, while the passengers on the boat couldn't help but look at the black-faced man.

"A high-precision hunting crossbow with an optical sight. An 8mm featherless arrow with a muzzle velocity of 150 m/s, an effective range of 125 meters, and a distance deviation of 60 meters within 20 millimeters. This is less than 20 meters, and it can't hit. There are ghosts. Well, don't look at me, I usually use this thing when hunting." The black-faced man rarely blush.

"These Indians are all dead, right? This...Although this is self-defense, it is also an over-defense, right?" Ship doctor Wang Liao couldn't accept what he saw.

"Hey! Old Wang, do Indians with this look still exist in modern society? Besides, so many things happened last night until now, why haven't you figured it out yet? From my point of view, we must have crossed over! I just don't know Where is it now, what year is it?" Lin Youde sneered at Lao Wang, the ship doctor, while talking, he still had some yearning expression on his face, I dare say this kid has long been looking forward to time travel.

Xiao Bailang stood up slowly, sighed, and said with a complicated expression: "It seems that we are going to hold a general meeting."
