Chapter 151 Starry Night

�Nothing can boost morale more than a victory.
The negative emotions brought by the failure of the transit station and the flood attack were washed away by the joy of victory. The soldiers were in high spirits, and Ge Dalong joked with a smile.
"If the flood does not recede, we need to keep exploring on the sea. I think we might as well form a 'kitchen knife pirate group'."
Zhang Shi smiled and chatted with Ge Dalong for a while, but he didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, the listener was interested. In the evening, Wu Qing called everyone and hung a flag on the mast with her own hands. There was a skull embroidered on the flag, and a kitchen knife was inserted above the skull. A closer look showed that it was made according to the appearance of Lao Duan.
Zhang Shi didn't expect Wu Qing to take the joke seriously. He didn't know what to do. Just when he wanted to encourage her, he didn't expect the system to prompt.
"Ding, it is detected that the survivors have formed a long-distance sailing team. The navigation map is now open to team members."
Zhang Shi was stunned, and then quickly opened the system panel. Sure enough, he found an extra map option at the bottom of the homepage.
Zhang Shi opened it with great expectation, and a panoramic map suddenly appeared in front of him. This was a map with the ocean as the main body, and there were only a few tiny parts of land on the map. It seemed that after this disaster, the topography of the wilderness world had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Zhang Shi found the blue light dot representing himself, and with a thought, he enlarged it. Then he was surprised to find that the map was real-time, as if a sky eye was looking down at him from high in the sky, and any of his random movements could be captured by the map without delay.
Zhang Shi was both happy and worried about the function of this map, and he didn't know what to say.
The other three people in the team also had the map function, and each opened the system to check. Among them, Ge Dalong had the clearest purpose. As soon as he opened the map, he confirmed his position, and then began to zoom out the map with the blue dot as the center. Not long after, he was surprised to find that there was an isolated island not far from him, and quickly shared the location of the island with everyone.
Zhang Shi also enlarged the panoramic map with a thought, and the topography of the island was in full view. However, when he further enlarged it to check the specific situation, he found that the entire island was shrouded in fog and he could not see anything clearly.
Zhang Shi did not give up, and randomly found an island, and the result was the same.
"It seems that this map is not the Sky Eye. It should be the area we have explored that can have the effect of the 'Sky Eye'."
Ge Dalong made a guess based on this situation, and Zhang Shi nodded, thinking that his guess was almost the correct answer.
"Okay, now we have a clear goal, just drive towards this island. If the situation on the island is good, there will be our new base!"
The soldiers received the order and immediately drove at full speed towards the target direction. Zhao Feng stood on the deck excitedly in the heavy rain, waving the axe and performing a set of tricks. In his words, this is the first voyage after the establishment of the Cleaver Pirates, and there must be some sense of ceremony.
According to Lao Bai's estimation, at the speed of the Ark, it will reach the destination by tomorrow morning at the latest. In order to avoid any accidents, Zhang Shi specially arranged twice as many soldiers to keep watch, hoping to arrive at the island smoothly tomorrow.
…
When night fell, the heavy rain that had lasted for several days stopped silently. Zhang Shi noticed the change in the weather at the first time. When he came to the deck, he was surprised to find the stars in the sky.
For the first time in many days, the giant sunflowers converged their light. The light of the entire ark faded but was not dark. The bright moonlight projected on the sea level, rippling waves, which was particularly peaceful and peaceful.
Zhang Shi was surprised at the changes in the wilderness world. The originally monotonous night sky suddenly became starry. He insisted on looking for the familiar Big Dipper in the sky, but he couldn't find any traces after turning several directions.
"Heh, it's different."
Zhang Shi gave up the search and the lucky fantasy deep in his heart.
"What's different?"
Wu Qing's ethereal voice appeared behind Zhang Shi. The silvery moonlight shone on her holy robe, making her look sacred and noble, like a fairy who could only be viewed from afar and could not be touched. The light sea breeze blew past, revealing her curves, which made Zhang Shi, who always put his career first, look at her a few more times.
Wu Qing saw Zhang Shi staring at her blankly, her face slightly red. She was about to open her mouth to scold him, but she couldn't bear to break the beauty of this moment. She could only stand there shyly and remain silent. The shyness of the beauty was embellished under the starry sky, making it more intoxicating.
"Wu Qing's face is ripe, redder than the tumor on the mutant zombie."
Zhang Shi didn't know what was going on. His brain circuit was abnormal and he thought of the zombies that ruined the scenery. His thoughts suddenly broke away from that subtle atmosphere.
"It's the stars in the sky that are different from our world."
"Oh, are you looking at the stars?"
Wu Qing gathered her hair that was blown by the sea breeze around her ears, just enough to cover her blushing face.
"Yes, I'm looking at the stars."
Zhang Shi responded softly, and his eyes once again looked at the vast night sky, but a different ripple appeared in his heart. He tried to find a trace of similarity with the past world among the stars, but he had to admit that every star here was strange and bright, as if it was a gem tailor-made by nature for this wilderness world, and each one shone with a unique light.
Wu Qing slowly walked to Zhang Shi's side, and the two stood side by side, looking up at the starry sky that did not belong to them.
The sea breeze blew gently, bringing with it the unique salty fragrance of the sea water and the coolness of the night, making people feel relaxed and happy. At such moments, it seemed as if time was gently stretched, making people forget the fatigue of the day and the hardships of the battle.
"You know, I have never seen such a beautiful starry sky."
Wu Qing's voice was soft, with a subtle tremor, as if she was telling a long-hidden secret. Her eyes moved among the stars, and every flicker seemed to touch a string deep in her heart.
Zhang Shi turned his head to look at Wu Qing. Under the moonlight, her face was no longer cold, but soft and charming. The twinkling light in her eyes echoed with the stars in the night sky, beautiful enough to make people's heart move. An indescribable emotion surged in his heart. In this world full of unknowns and dangers, she was not only his comrade-in-arms, but also slowly became a piece of pure land in his heart.
"Yes, it's so beautiful that it makes people intoxicated."
Zhang Shi responded softly, his voice full of tenderness and emotion. He reached out his hand and gently placed it on Wu Qing's shoulder. It was a silent comfort and a silent promise - no matter how difficult the road ahead is, he will be by her side and face it together.
Wu Qing felt Zhang Shi's warmth, her body trembled slightly, and then a warmth flowed into her heart. She looked up and met Zhang Shi's eyes. Their eyes met at this moment. No words were needed, and each other's intentions were clear in their hearts. This tacit understanding, this understanding, is deeper and more precious than any words.
As the night deepened, the stars were still bright, and the ark slowly moved forward on the calm sea, heading towards an unknown island. But under this starry sky, the two hearts were already closely connected, guarding each other's dreams and hopes together. This emotion, like the brightest star in the night sky, guides their direction and illuminates each other's world.
Wu Qing looked up at the night sky: "Actually, the stars are not important."
Zhang Shi smiled slightly and said softly: "I know."
He held Wu Qing's hand tightly, his tone full of determination, as if he was telling her in this way that he and she were in tune with each other.
