Chapter 493 Going to the Blood Wasteland for the Second Time

Returning from the east coast is not a wise move.

Because on the way, the ship needs to pass through the Atlantic Ocean to Panama and enter the Pacific Ocean through the Panama Canal.

The original plan was to stop on the west coast, but that would lengthen the route. It was better to resupply in South America and then go directly to Hawaii for relay.

Zhao Chuanxin had too many things, and it would take a lot of trouble to restock them by train, so it was better to go a long way and arrive at once.

The Atlantic Ocean has strong currents and complex water masses.

There wasn't much wind, but the sea looked rough.

Even Miao Cuihua couldn't bear it and went back to the cabin to rest. Zhao Chuanxin was the only one on the deck. From time to time, the recliner would move due to the rocking of the cargo ship, but he seemed not to notice it.

At least it's sunny and sunny today.

Open the "Code of Old Gods".

Last time "I" trekked thousands of miles to the ancient road, guided by paper cranes, and entered the path of hell, only to be stopped by the night watchman. After many twists and turns, I finally saw that the legendary devil turned out to be a book - "The Devil's Code".

I got a enchantment lamp and ten book pages.

Nine pages of the book were swallowed up by the stars and the moon.

Zhao Chuanxin also learned that the diary in his hand was actually called "The Code of the Old Gods".

[My brother and sister and I finally arrived at the human city-state after many days of traveling. 】

[The last time the Sea Tribe participated in the war, the human city-state drove the remaining biological remnants to Sunset Town on the edge of the Blood Wasteland, so we were able to travel smoothly like this. 】

[I found weirdos and goblins. 】

[Goblin asked: Fearless Pioneer, have you found the "Devil's Code"? 】

[I said: Found it, but it is alive. 】

[I will tell it from beginning to end, hiding the content about the other me. 】

another me?

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned.

In fact, he doesn't quite understand his own image in "me" mind.

It turns out that "I" thought Zhao Chuanxin was the voice in his subconscious, or something else.

Zhao Chuanxin thought to himself, wouldn't he have become the ruler of the old days?

Just like a psychotic patient, Zhao Chuanxin became the hallucination of "me".

For "me", maybe Zhao Chuanxin is powerful and also has supernatural power, because he can use the "key" to transfer items from two worlds.

Of course, for "me", Zhao Chuanxin's appearance is definitely indescribable. After all, I have never seen it before and I am not familiar with it.

As for non-human thinking and the aura of darkness, Zhao Chuanxin denied these two points.

He felt that his thinking was normal and he felt that he was very sunny.

But it was immediately slapped in the face.

[Because I feel that the other me is evil, crazy, and has abnormal human thinking. 】

Zhao Chuanxin: "..."

[The goblin fell into deep thought and seemed to be reminiscing. After a long time, he said: If I remember correctly, my ancestors once told me stories about the devil and the old gods. The Demon King and the "Devil's Code" are two different things. But the devil is cunning. Dauntless Pioneer, did you really not bring back any pages of the Demon Codex? 】

[Looking at the caution on the goblin’s face, I felt a little uneasy. 】

[But I still pretended to be firm and said: No, the "Devil's Code" is very powerful. 】

[The weirdo trusts me. 】

[But the goblin's eyes always seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and he smiled without saying a word. 】

[This makes me feel a little guilty. 】

[The weirdo patted me on the shoulder and said: Fearless Pioneer, although you didn't get back the "Devil's Code", your sacrifice still moved me. Now, you go back and rest. 】

[The goblin said: Just in time, I have to go out. Let me go out with you. 】

[After leaving the sight of the weirdo, the goblin said to me: Fearless Pioneer, in my memory, the Demon King always holds the "Demon Code", while the Lord of the Gods always holds the "Old God Code". The two books represent two ancient rules. 】

[I asked: What is that? 】

Even Zhao Chuanxin, the "Old Ruler", couldn't help but sit up straight.

This was the answer he desperately wanted.

[However, the goblin shook his head: I don’t know. But the reason why the Demon King is called the Demon King is not because he represents evil, nor does the Old God represent good. It is only because the Demon King is cunning and changeable that he is called the Demon King. Now, I think that the "Devil's Code" should be the biggest reason why the Demon King is cunning and changeable. 】

[I asked in surprise: You mean, the Demon King’s will was affected by the “Devil’s Code”? 】

[The goblin shook his head: No, the "Devil's Code" is just his tool, but I think the "Devil's Code" will help him come up with ideas. So, if you have a page from the Demon Codex in your hands, it's best to destroy it. As long as they are in this world, the pages of the "Devil's Code" will interact with each other. 】

Zhao Chuanxin hurriedly wrote:

[I asked: What will happen if the pages of the "Devil's Code" are no longer in this world? 】

What he said is true.

[Goblin in a trance: Not in this world? So where will it go? Outside the world? If it really goes outside the world, the connection between the pages of the "Devil's Code" will be cut off, but the wisdom of each single page will still be there. 】

Zhao Chuanxin was overjoyed.

This statement dispelled his worries.

But he still had a question: If he could find out the loophole in the "key" himself, wouldn't the Lord of the Gods, the master of the "Old God Code", know about it?

Why didn't he banish the Devil's Codex this way?

Zhao Chuanxin couldn't ask directly, so he wrote in a roundabout way:

[I continue to ask: What would happen if the entire "Devil's Code" broke away from this world? 】

[The goblin laughs: That’s impossible. But if that were the case, both worlds would be in chaos. 】

Zhao Chuanxin couldn't help but feel a little confused.

The "Code of the Old Gods" and the "Code of Demons" were originally in the world of the "Code of the Old Gods".

But how can something fit into itself?

Now the "Code of the Old Gods" is clearly in the hands of Zhao Chuanxin, on the earth.

He wrote:

[I ask again: What if the "Old God Code" appears in another world? 】

[The goblin laughed loudly: Fearless Pioneer, that's impossible. 】

[I have no reason to continue to inquire. 】

[The goblin's face became solemn: Regardless of whether you have the pages of the "Devil's Code" in your hands or not, you know that I do not agree with continuing the research on biological intelligence. 】

[I understand what the goblin means. 】

[Although it guessed that I owned the pages of the "Demonic Code", it would not tell it. 】

[The goblin added: Fearless Pioneer, I personally want to give you a task. You are very familiar with this task, and the reward is lifespan. Do you accept it? 】

[The goblin gave two choices:

1: Go to the Blood Wasteland again to look for the crater where the Devil Crystal was originally found, and find the Devil Crystal's companion there - the Starry Sky Root.

The reward is 50 years of life.

Two: Go to the abandoned house where the remnants of the creature were found and look for a test tube.

The reward is 10 years of life. 】

There are pitfalls every time there are multiple-choice questions.

Almost without exception.

Zhao Chuanxin chooses the option that seems to be cost-effective, so that he will not suffer a loss in the end, but choosing the option that seems to be the least cost-effective will actually result in the greatest benefit.

He wrote:

[I said: I can do both tasks at the same time. 】

[The goblin said: Fearless Pioneer, your time is limited and you can only choose one of them. Because I got word from the Sentinels that the biological remnants began to retreat to the Blood Wastes again. If you are looking for the Star Root, you have to go to the bottom of the crater to explore. This will take a lot of time, and you must leave before they retreat to the Blood Wasteland. 】

[I don’t know how to choose, maybe I should listen to my heart. 】

This is what patients with choice difficulties look like.

Zhao Chuanxin knew that "I" was waiting for his answer.

He thought for a while and made up his mind.

This time he was going to eat from the bowl and look into the pot.

He wrote:

[I choose the first one. 】

[Goblin said: Fearless Pioneer, I know you are very tired, but because time is tight, I still hope you can set off immediately. As far as I know, the defense of Sunset Town, the main route to the Blood Wasteland, is at its most lax at this time. 】

[I couldn’t sit still. After hearing this, I immediately went back to find my brother and sister to prepare for departure. 】

Zhao Chuanxin closed the "Old God Code" and regained his strength.

When the light fades, it gets cold on the deck.

Zhao Chuanxin got up and knocked on the cabin door of his apprentice's family: "Get up and go to the restaurant. Let's eat hotpot together in the evening."

Zhao Chuanxian was also prepared for the journey.

Not to mention the airtightness of the cabin at this time, in the restaurant, there was a table for the crew, and a table for Zhao Chuanxin and others.

Outside there was an endless, irritating wind blowing out of the Atlantic, and there was no heating, and the wind pulled at the ubiquitous cracks and made goosebumps with its whimpering.

Only the light of the alcohol stove made by Zhao Chuanxian swaying under the baking pan gave everyone a hint of warmth.

When Zhao Chuanxin saw Rachel Kevis shivering, he said, "Wait for me and get a stove."

It seemed that he had just gone out and came back, carrying a copper stove full of charcoal.

Zhao Chuanxin sprinkled some kerosene on it, struck a match and threw it in.

"call……"

The green flames sprang up and soon turned yellow.

Zhao Chuanxin placed the charcoal stove next to Rachel Kervis.

There were people at the table, including Zhao Chuanxin's apprentice and Zhao Chuanxin's confidante, but the charcoal stove was given to her, which suddenly made Rachel Kevis think a lot.

Does he have other ideas for me?

In fact, she really thought too much.

Because of the people at this table, even if Jiang Bo and Samuel Goldberg froze to death, Zhao Chuanxin would not even blink an eye.

Miao Cuihua and her apprentice have both practiced balancing techniques and have strong cold resistance.

Not to mention myself.

When the oil is hot, Zhao Chuanxin puts the marinated beef into the pot.

Suddenly the sound of "sizzling" sounded and the aroma filled the air.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "This is my own property. The meat produced by my own herd is very good."

Needless to say, on a cold day, eating hot barbecue is just right.

Zhao Chuanxin took out two more bottles of Bordeaux and asked Jiang Bo to send one to the crew.

Jiang Bo cursed: "Why give it to them for free? It's not like they didn't get paid..."

It didn't take much, and this guy became a watchdog.

"Go if you are told, what nonsense are you talking about?" Zhao Chuanxin scolded.

The crew table burst into cheers, and they toasted to Zhao Chuanxin from a distance.

Zhao Chuanxin said to Jiang Bo who came back: "You see, this is called enjoying alone, not as happy as everyone."

"You have money, so you can be great, right?"

Sailing was lonely and the journey was long. Zhao Chuanxin felt that it was necessary to have a good relationship with everyone on the ship.

Everyone who had eaten the meal had sweat on their foreheads, dispelling the cold.

But after leaving the restaurant with the cups and plates in a mess, I was hit by the cold wind and got goosebumps all over my body.

Zhao Chuanxin held the handle of the copper stove and handed it to Samuel Goldberg: "Take it to your cabin."

There is no need to pay attention to ventilation, because the wind is blowing all the time.

Fortunately, as the ship gradually moved south, the weather became warmer little by little.

At first I felt cold even with my coat on, but then I took off my coat. When the ship sailed into the Cuban waters, I couldn’t even put on my suit anymore, and I had to unbutton my shirt while wearing it.

When entering the Caribbean Sea and traveling in the waters of Honduras.

The boat passed through the sea between a small island and Honduras.

Rachel Kervis pointed to the island and said: "Look, how beautiful that island is. You can take a boat here for vacation in the future."

Samuel Goldberg said: "There is a ship over there, it seems to be heading towards us."

At this time, the captain suddenly ran out nervously: "Don't talk too much later, I will negotiate."
