Compared with the illustriousness of the others, Ichiro Murakami is very ordinary.
Greasy middle-aged uncle, who has not yet married in his forties, works in the financial industry.
The reason why he took the Seidel cruise this time was because he had recently completed a big project and received a bonus of $300,000 and a two-month vacation.

For this reason, he also specially studied written and spoken Chinese, and even ancient classical Chinese. Although it cannot be compared with the Japanese and English he has mastered, he can already conduct fluent conversations.
As for why the six of them chose to leave the station in a lifeboat, it is indeed inseparable from the riot last night.
Although the victims did not see the appearance of those ferocious beasts, nor were they affected by the battle in the West Sea last night, they had to accept the fact that the beasts roared non-stop all night, like the terrifying sound of thunder.
The danger here has far exceeded their previous expectations. Although the beach is a good place to wait for rescue and can observe whether there are rescue ships at any time, it is no longer safe.
Especially in the morning, a large number of carcasses of sea beasts floated past the beach along the ocean current, and some of them were washed onto the beach.
The grotesque beast terrified all the victims.
They realized that if they did not find a more suitable place to live soon, and where they could harvest food and drink water, they might not survive the arrival of the rescue team.
Although everyone comes from different countries, has different beliefs, and even different races.
But in the face of life and death, everyone’s interests are the same.
Some have suggested possible solutions.
Look for other victims along the beach, along the way to find a more suitable place to survive.
As for the dense forest behind the coast.
It’s not that no one thought about it, and someone even took action a few days ago.
The result was two deaths and one injury.
One was dragged away by a fierce beast, no one even saw what kind of beast it was, only heard the shrill scream, and found half of the bitten arm by the way.
One was bitten by a poisonous snake and died of poison before reaching the camp.
The injured one still does not know what caused it. He is still lying in a public area, unconscious and half dead.
The danger of the dense forest is visible to the naked eye, so someone proposed to start from the sea and walk along the coastline. This can not only avoid threats from the deep sea, but also increase the possibility of escaping ashore in case of trouble.
The most important thing is that it can carry more supplies, which is far more convenient than walking on land.
After the plan was put forward, some people took the initiative to stand up.

On the rippling sea, a lifeboat was advancing along the coast along the ocean current, and Afra and the others were on board.
Ichiro Murakami holds the paddle and gently slides it to power the lifeboat.

In fact, that’s exactly what happened.
Last night during the wild riots, Murakami Ichiro stayed up all night, always feeling that he was hovering in front of life and death.
That night, he thought about a lot of things.
Looking back on my life, I admired samurai when I was young, and longed to become a samurai with high martial arts skills, punish evil and promote good, eliminate violence and bring peace to the good. When I was young, I longed for the Warring States Period, eager to make contributions, serve the Ming Lord, and leave a name in history. When I was older, with the oppression of life, I saw the truth of reality, gave up these fantasies, and started to keep myself safe and work honestly.
In a daze, now he is 41 years old and has had several girlfriends, but they all broke up due to various reasons, and he is still alone.
Murakami Ichiro didn’t want to comment on who was right or wrong, because it was meaningless.
He just suddenly figured out that the life he had lived in the past twenty years was not the life he wanted.
But now, he has a choice.
So when Afra and the others had already set out to sea, UUReading Book www.uukanshu.com he chased after them.
Not for anything else, just want to go to the outside world to see, to be a warrior, to do a willful thing.
The lifeboat traveled all the way south along the coastline, and I don’t know how far it traveled. The station was left behind early and could not be seen.
“Wow, what a beautiful bird.”
Aphra’s exclamation broke Murakami Ichiro’s contemplation.
He followed Aphra’s gaze, only to see a beautiful and holy bird hovering above the lifeboat.
It is half a meter long and has colorful feathers like a peacock. The long tail feathers are longer than the body, floating behind like colorful ribbons, which is extraordinarily beautiful. The wings spread out, and the cyan feathers seemed to be able to glow, and the dots of light swayed from the wings, like gorgeous fireflies, extremely gorgeous.
“So beautiful.”
Murakami Ichiro looked blurred and exclaimed.
He had never seen such a beautiful bird, it didn’t look like a mortal creature at all, it was like a fairy bird in myths and legends.
That bird is Qingluan.
When everyone saw her, Qingluan swooped down from the sky like an eagle hunting, the speed far exceeded the limit that human eyes could catch.
In just a few breaths, Qingluan had already landed on the stern of the lifeboat, and a pair of sharp claws like gold and jade entered the side of the boat.
Seeing Qingluan’s speed so fast, like lightning, everyone was nervous.
The Sanches and his wife even touched the dagger hanging on their laps, staring at Qingluan vigilantly.
Qingluan didn’t care about the small movements of the people at all, and looked at them coldly like a nine-day fairy, her beautiful eyes were filled with aura that was no different from that of human beings, and said indifferently: “If you trespass on the border of our Xu Kingdom, you will be convicted.”
