Cordillera Island Chain?

Shen Feng raised his eyebrows. He had heard of the Cordillera Mountains.

The entire Cordillera Mountain System runs through North and South America and can be said to be the longest mountain system in the world.

It seems that the Cordillera Mountains have completely sunk into the sea, with only some peaks still emerging from the sea, forming an archipelago.

The Cordillera Mountains are basically the highest geological structure in North and South America. Their average altitude is more than 2,000 meters, and the highest peak is more than 4,000 meters above sea level.

The peak of this mountain system can be exposed to the sea, and Shen Feng has roughly figured out the extent of sea level rise.

About two thousand meters.

In other words, the sea water increased by more than 2,000 meters out of thin air, and basically the entire America was completely submerged.

San Francisco, where he was previously located, was more than fifty meters above sea level, but now it is on the seabed at a depth of two to three thousand meters.

This is so fucking scary...

The rise in sea level has far exceeded Shen Feng's previous expectations. Originally, he thought that a rise of tens to hundreds of meters would be the limit, but now it seems that it is far more than that.

Is there just so much water on earth?

Where does this water come from?

He instantly thought of a line from the pirates' funeral song just now:

"The ship that carries the world has a hole in it"

Could it be that all the extra water comes from the space wormholes on the seabed?

But if that's the case, it doesn't make sense.

After all, there was no sign of water in the galaxy where Uy Scutum was seen through the space wormhole.

Then he asked the old sailor again:

"What's going on with the space wormholes at the bottom of the sea? Where are those alien behemoths? Are they swimming on the bottom of the sea?"

The old sailor was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand what Shen Feng meant. Then he suddenly showed a look of enlightenment and said:

"You mean the entrance to hell and those world beasts? No one knows where the entrance to hell is, but there are such legends. As for the world beasts..."

The old sailor smiled bitterly and then said:

"If we had ever seen the World Beast, we would have been eaten long ago... It is said that the World Beast destroyed the once powerful ancient world and soaked the world in water. If humans encountered the World Beast, they would be taken to hell. An entrance from which one can never come back.”

Shen Feng nodded slightly, somewhat expecting this answer.

After all, human beings are too small compared to those giant exotic beasts that are like mountains.

From beginning to end, perhaps those alien behemoths just wanted to escape from the imminent destruction of the super-red giant Uy Scuti, and did not care about the survival of human civilization at all.

What does it have to do with you if I destroy you?

The name of this world beast is quite appropriate.

After all, in terms of size, a giant beast is like a small world.

The old sailor looked at the new captain in front of him with great confusion.

The news about the entrance to hell and the world beast should be common knowledge to everyone, but this new captain seems to be very smart, but he doesn't even know these things.

Moreover, he suddenly appeared, mastered powerful firearms, and floated on the sea on an inflatable raft that could accommodate only one person. The clothes he wore were much more exquisite than ordinary people, as if he emerged from the sea out of thin air. It was really It's so weird.

Thinking of this, the old sailor said cautiously:

"Captain, I would like to ask, are you... are you from the sea clan?"

Shen Feng was stunned and asked:

"What is Sea Clan?"

Could it be that humans in this world have undergone genetic mutations, and a race of people has emerged that can survive on the seabed?

How many years have passed?

The old sailor then explained:

"The so-called sea tribe is a race that possesses magic called 'technology' and can build cities on the seabed and survive in them. It is said that they rarely appear on the sea and live in solitary life, but they have powerful power. Because of your appearance... This is extraordinary, so I mistakenly thought you were from the Sea Clan, please forgive me."

Shen Feng nodded slightly.

When the whole world is submerged by floods, the struggling human civilization will inevitably use all its strength to compose magnificent songs of tragedy.

Choosing to survive on the only remaining land or wandering on the sea is one way. Another way is to live directly on the seabed.

Of course, this requires a very high level of technology and a lot of skill in diving and stress resistance on the technology tree. I don’t know who succeeded in the end.

It's just that in the face of those invincible world beasts, no matter what method of survival, human beings have become nothing more than a group of lingering ants.

"How long has it been since the great flood broke out?" Shen Feng asked again.

The old sailor corrected carefully:

"Captain, it's not a big flood, it's a big tsunami... Ever since I was born, I've been wandering on the sea, listening to legends about big tsunamis and ancient human civilization, but I've never really understood time... But the floating island There should be someone at the market who knows the exact time. If not, there is a legendary distant island."

Shen Feng nodded and said:

"Go to the nearest floating island market immediately."

As soon as the new captain gave the order, the shabby-looking but extremely sturdy little pirate ship immediately raised its sails, turned its bow, and sailed toward the northeast through the wind and waves.

Shen Feng put the quantum backpack at his feet, holding the rifle with one hand and the armrest of the chair with the other, looking at the surrounding sea.

These pirate sailors have obviously been wandering on the sea all year round. Although the boat is always rocking, these people are walking on flat ground and can skillfully control the sails and oars.

They are a good group of sailors.

While moving forward, Shen Feng chatted with the old sailor.

At this time, he had learned that the old sailor's nickname was "Shoelace Bill". He was an old man in his forties and had been on the pirate ship named "Swordfish" for seven or eight years. .

Bill himself was born on a pirate ship, and his parents were also pirates. However, the ship sank in a storm when he was a teenager. After that, he changed six or seven ships, which is considered a An old pirate.

As for the so-called pirate ships, in fact, robbing families and homes is just a side job, and their main business is fishing, as well as searching for the remains of ancient civilizations floating on the sea for sale.

In Bill's words, human beings are like water cockroaches, they can survive even if they just float on the sea.

After experiencing so many apocalyptic missions, Shen Feng deeply believed in this statement.

According to Old Bill, they were still about a day away from the nearest floating island market, but there was not much food on the boat, and they had to take time to catch some fish in the next few days.

It was soon evening, and the sun in the distance was slowly setting like a round egg yolk.

At this time, Shen Feng placed his inflatable raft in the center of the pirate ship, lying on it, blowing the sea breeze and looking at the clouds in the sky, feeling indescribably comfortable.

At this moment, a violent sound of water suddenly came from around me.

The next moment, a dolphin was seen leaping from one side of the pirate ship, drawing an arc in mid-air, passing over Shen Feng, and falling into the sea on the other side of the pirate ship.

Then white waves suddenly appeared on the surrounding sea surface, and thousands of dolphins jumped out of the sea, like silver shuttles, and were coated with a layer of golden-red light by the setting sun. The pirate ship leaps forward!

The dolphins kept jumping forward while making chaotic calls, like a flock of birds.

At this moment, a large flock of seagulls and other birds appeared in the sky, circling rapidly.

Seeing this scene, Old Bill shouted excitedly:

"It's dolphins hunting! Schools of fish! We're not far from the school of fish! Savior! That's the floating mining belt! It's right in front!"

Shen Feng sat up and looked forward, and saw that a few kilometers away on the sea, there was an area composed of floating objects that stretched for an unknown area.
Chapter completed!
