There is a joke on the Internet in later generations, called "If you don't die, you won't die." This sentence is very appropriate for the Mayans in Karu City. After the smallpox patient was sacrificed by blood, the Mayans who gathered in Karu City were not yet waiting for the Mayans to gather in Karu City.

Leaving, the lurking smallpox virus broke out almost at the same time. The sick people had high fever and some people were even blind. Then they developed complications such as sepsis, encephalitis, pneumonia, etc., which caused death within a few days.

At that time, the population density of Karu City had reached an astonishing level. Almost everyone could not escape the infection of smallpox. Large areas of people died in illness, and even people outside the city did not have time to escape, and there were no dead bodies in the city.

When people cleaned up, almost all the streets were killed by illness, which eventually led to the situation that Lu Wan and the others saw.

Regarding the situation told by the Mayan, the crew members who went into the city to look for gold also confirmed his words. According to these crew members, the streets of the city were full of dead bodies, and even some roads were blocked by corpses. They had to

Find other ways to reach the temple.

Moreover, in the square of the temple, they also saw the patients who were sacrificed by blood. The limbs were tied to the altar. Although the blood under them had dried up, they could also see the miserable state of blood flowing into a river at that time.

.

"Poor Mayans, although you have excellent civilizations in mathematics and astronomy, your ignorance in religion and medicine will sooner or later bring you a disaster!" After hearing these things, Lu Wan shook his head and sighed.

road.

I have to say that Lu Wan's vision is very unique. According to later Han scholars, the smallpox plague that came from Asia lasted for nearly a hundred years, and the total population of the Mayans also decreased by more than 80%. In the end, the only Mayans remained.

I gained the immunity of smallpox in this plague and survived strongly.

At the same time, the death of a large number of people, especially those sacrifices, caused the Mayan civilization to go backwards. Some knowledge of astronomy and mathematics cut off the inheritance, and later generations could only use some of the words and carvings in the temple.

, looking for some clips about the Mayan civilization.

However, Lu Wan and the others didn't care about the life and death of the Mayans, and they even held a very excited mentality, because they found a large amount of gold from the empty city, just in the temple of Karu City

The crew sent out brought back more than 3,000 kilograms of gold, which made all the members of the fleet look golden, as if they saw a golden wealth in front of them.

So in the next action, Lu Wan and his team asked about the surrounding cities through the surviving Maya and began to send several teams to these cities. If they found that a city was similar to that of Karu, they would

Immediately come back to inform the fleet, and then the ship sends a large number of people to the city to find gold.

It was also in the process of searching for gold that Lu Wan and the others found that situations similar to Karu City were not uncommon. The Mayans did not seem to have much experience with the disease of plague. Many Mayans rushed to the city after the outbreak of smallpox.

, Maybe they think it is safer in cities? But unfortunately, the more densely populated the place, the more dangerous it is.

In this way, Lu Wan and his team stayed on the Yucatan Peninsula for more than a year and found more than a dozen unmanned cities of all sizes. In addition, they also encountered a few cities where there were no ceilings, but the situation of these cities

But they are also very unoptimistic. They are surrounded by smallpox epidemic areas. Although they are closed to the city gates, smallpox can be transmitted through the air, so it is only a matter of time before the Mayans in these cities get infected with smallpox.

Over the past year, Lu Wan and his team found a total of fifteen tons of gold, including a megacity they found in the northeast of the peninsula. The original population of the city was at least 50,000, just in this city.

In the middle, Lu Wan and the others found nearly four tons of gold, which almost made Lu Wan and the others crazy.

However, although gold is good, Lu Wan and the others are also very responsible. In the past year, they have only operated in the coastal areas of the Yucatan Peninsula and did not go deep into the peninsula too deeply. This is mainly because in the coastal areas

, gold is also more convenient to transport to the ship. In addition, the situation inside the peninsula is not very clear, so if you encounter a more powerful Mayan, it would be bad.

Although those golds are all ownerless things to Lu Wan and others, for the Mayans, those gold utensils belong to gods. Lu Wan and others' behavior is not only a steal, but also a personal belonging to the gods.

, If it was caught by the Mayans on the spot, they would definitely be pulled to the altar to worship blood.

After sweeping the entire coastal area of ​​the Yucatan Peninsula, Lu Wan and the others remembered the main task of the trip. However, they did not intend to return as the original route, but headed south along the coast of America, preparing to bypass

America reaches the West Coast and completes the feat of a week around the world.

It was very smooth at the beginning. Even if they encountered a storm, they could dock and park. On the east coast of South America, they also met various native Americans, although these natives and the Mayans belonged to the United States.

The natives, but there are already considerable differences in living habits and languages.

Soon Lu Wan and his friends arrived at the southernmost tip of America, which was the later Magellan Strait area, and the south of the strait was Tierra Tierra. The origin of the name Tierra Tierra Tierra is very interesting. Legend has it that when Magellan passed through this strait, he saw it

The natives on the island were baking a bonfire, so they named the island south of the strait Tierra del Fuego.

Unfortunately, it was daytime when Lu Wan and his team arrived at the strait, and they did not see the bonfire of the natives on the island. However, Lu Wan saw through the telescope that there were huge glaciers on the island, so they named the island Glacier Island, and the strait was naturally

It is named after this and is temporarily named Glacier Strait.

The Glacier Strait is approaching Antarctica. It happens to be June now, and it happens to be winter in the southern hemisphere, so when Lu Wan and the others passed here, the weather was quite cold. But if it was just cold, it would be fine. In later generations, the Glacier Strait would be

It is famous for its high winds and rapid waves, and it is often accompanied by heavy fog in winter. In addition, the Shanghai Strait is not very wide, so the fleet faces huge challenges when passing here.

When they first entered the strait, relying on the skillful sailing skills of Lu Wanhe's crew, they moved forward very smoothly. However, they had just moved forward not long ago, thick fog began to appear in the strait, which made the fleet's driving encounter.

When it comes to huge difficulties, especially when passing through one of the straits, the width of the strait suddenly becomes less than ten miles, and the water depth becomes very shallow. Many reefs are spread throughout the strait, and the huge wind and waves make the entire fleet

Everyone raises their hearts to their throats.

But just as they were about to walk through this narrow strait, the wind in the strait suddenly became stronger. At the beginning, the strong wind blew away the heavy fog that blocked the crew, which made it happen.

The crew were happy for a while, but unfortunately they all started to scold the ghost weather, because the wind was getting stronger and stronger, which made them unable to grasp the direction of the ship's advance.

This is the superb sailing skills of the crew members in the fleet. In the huge wind and waves, the ship was swayed by the waves, and it was even about to hit the reefs in the sea, and even the cliffs on both sides of the strait

But these ships can turn the bow of the ship when they are not allowed to be fired, making the ship safe.

But perhaps it was the test of God's voyage on Lu Wan and his team. Just when they had just sailed out of this very narrow strait and entered a very wide strait in the glacier strait, before the entire fleet could breathe a sigh of relief, on the side of the strait

The glacier hanging on the cliff suddenly broke, and a hill-like glacier hit the sea water next to the fleet with a bad wind. Huge ice cubes splashed everywhere, causing huge damage to several nearby ships.

Among them, the Universe that Lu Wan was riding was just not far from the glacier. At that time, Lu Wan was standing at the bow of the ship to command the ship to advance, but unexpectedly, a piece of icicles as thick as an arm flew over, and suddenly penetrated his right leg, and

The thigh bones were also broken, and the white bone stubble protruded outside the skin, and blood spurted out like spring water.

At first, Lu Wan only felt a cold right leg and did not feel pain, but when he lowered his head and saw the tragic situation on his legs, he immediately felt a heart-wrenching pain, and immediately fainted with a scream.

Fortunately, Xu Fang was on the Universal and immediately rescued Lu Wan.

Because most of the bones and muscles of Lu Wan's thighs were cut off, and only part of the muscles were left to connect. Under the current circumstances, it could not be saved at all, so Xu Fang decisively cut off Lu Wan's thigh and then performed a hemostatic surgery.

It avoided Lu Wan's death due to excessive blood loss.

It was not only Lu Wan who was hit by the ice, but the crew members on other ships were also injured or even killed by the ice. Even a ship closest to the glacier's waterfall point was smashed to the stern of the ship by huge ice cubes.

A big hole sank before even repairing it. Although the crew members on the ship tried their best to save themselves, other ships also came forward to rescue them. In the end, because the temperature of the sea water was too low, only a part of the crew members on the ship were rescued and died.

The number of people exceeded thirty, and the thousands of kilograms of gold stored on the ship also sank.

Although even Lu Wan was seriously injured and unconscious, the fleet showed extraordinary qualities. A captain immediately took over Lu Wan's position and first directed the fleet to leave the danger

Then find a relatively calm sea area in the strait to moor, and the entire fleet begins to rest and repair the ships.

However, Lu Wan's injury was too serious. He woke up once during this period. Unfortunately, he only had time to formally hand over the captain who took over him, and then fell into a coma again.

After the fleet was rested, the fleet, led by the new captain, advanced along the strait again. During this period, it encountered several huge dangers, but they all fought over it almost dead. Finally, a month later,
Chapter completed!
