Chapter 126 Fresh Water and Fuel

"Bend down! Cover the canvas!" Following Charles' order, the dark green canvas that was the same as the sea water completely covered the boat, and they huddled behind the canvas and did not move.

After the bright searchlight swept over them, they didn't find anything unusual, and turned to other places.

Relieved, Charles lifted the canvas and saw the searchlight ship. It was a warship armed to the teeth. Not only were there decks on the front and back, but there were also gun ports on both sides of the ship.

Not to mention its speed and silence, if it had just discovered it, the mission would have been a complete failure.

The propeller turned, pushing the boat slowly towards the edge of the island.

During the period, they were illuminated several times by the searchlights of other ships, but they were not discovered by virtue of the prepared canvas and the small hull.

As they approached the island, the appearance of Tianshui Island slowly appeared in front of them.

If one were to describe Tianshui Island with a geographical environment, it would be a hilly landform. Except for the low mountains formed by the accumulation of pitch-black rocks, the mountains with a height of no more than 100 meters did not have any plants on them.

Coupled with the crab-like appearance of this island, it looks like a crab with several low peaks on its back from the sky.

Several waterfalls fell from the sky, washing over the crabs' backs, and several small rivers meandered among the hills.

They did not go directly to the pier between the crab's claws, but docked on the left side of the uninhabited crab.

"Hide the boat well, the pier is not far ahead, let's walk over slowly so that they won't be noticed." Charles, who came to the shore, said to his companion.

"No problem, you are the boss, you have the final say." Feuerbach was always the first to respond.

Charles and the others walked slowly forward along the junction of the rock and sea rice. After a while, a small river appeared in front of them, which was a tributary of a waterfall in the distance.

Charles squatted down, touched the water with his hand and smelled it, but there was no smell. After letting Lily's mouse try a sip, he found that it was indeed fresh water.

Not only fresh water, but also good quality fresh water, the river water is very clear.

Excitedly, Feuerbach jumped into the river and swam on his back. "Captain Charles, this is very simple. Now our fresh water problem is solved. This is the first time I have seen so much fresh water."

Charles looked up at the waterfall in the sky, but even with his excellent eyesight and night vision, he couldn't see where the water came from.

"Either it's a big lake, or it's groundwater, but considering that there is such a large space below, groundwater is more reasonable." Richard jumped out again.

"Get back!"

"It's okay, buddy, haven't calmed down after so long? What good is it for you to drive me crazy. I wanted to kill you, but don't you also want to kill me now? Rounding up, we are even Already." Richard's voice was languid.

Charles didn't want to quarrel with him at this time, so he led the crew forward with a sullen face.

After crossing this freshwater river and walking for another hour, Charles finally approached the center of Tianshui Island.

Unlike Coral Island, where the center is in the middle of the island, almost all the pirates on Tianshui Island gather at the crowded seaside.

Opposite to the two ring-shaped water pools is a densely packed mid-mountain city, with a little fire lighting up the entire mountain, and looking up from below is a stepped seaside city.

Below the mountain city is the pier of Tianshui Island, and the pier is nothing special.

The pirates on Tianshui Island obviously use local materials. The buildings in the mountain city and the wharf are all kinds of black rocks. All the buildings here are made of stone, which looks exotic.

But no matter how special the architectural style is, they can't change that they are a group of cruel pirates.

Rows of ragged slaves were tied up with ropes and led by them like cattle and sheep on the crowded streets of the docks.

The contraband and firearms that are not allowed to be sold on various islands are just placed on the ground and sold at will.

"Don't look at them as a gang of villains. The city planning is good. Oh, look at this street light, how bright it is. Oh, look at this clean street. There are no madmen and beggars. Oh, look at this Dedicated prostitutes who come to work before they even have time to wear their clothes."

Ignoring Richard's crazy words, Charles led the others on the streets of the pier.

Entering the pier from the side is obviously much more inconspicuous. Those fierce-looking pirates didn't care about Charles and the others. At most, it was Lily's swarm of rats who made them pay more attention.

Most of the island's fuel sales are handled by the customs, but there is no such organization in the places where pirates gather.

"It's your turn, ask where they buy their fuel." Charles said to the glamorous woman named Reinis next to him.

Reinis lightly brushed her gray hair, with a charming smile on her face. "No problem. As long as it's a man, I can't ask."

She glanced left and right, twisted her slender waist, and smacked a booze-smelling pirate.

He didn't know what he said, and soon the drunken alcoholic was walked towards the side alley with the help of Reinis.

Not long after, Reinis came out with a proud face, "Follow me."

Moving forward on this crowded street, Charles and the others soon came to the side of a three-story black building that was a bit taller than the surrounding buildings.

Reinis pretended to be looking at the scenery of the pier, and said to Charles in a low voice: "That guy said that this is the place, and the fuel business on the pier is controlled by the "King". If you want to buy fuel, you can only buy it from here."

"The task is easily completed, we can go back." Feuerbach looked happy.

Charles looked at several forts on the "Crab Claw" in the distance and shook his head.

"No, grabbing fuel from here is simply courting death."

Not to mention those forts, just the dozens of warships docked at the pier can prevent them from coming in and out.

"Then what to do?"

"They shouldn't be trading here, Rich, you go in and find out where their fuel warehouse is, and then see how the security is there."

The Illuminati believer next to him with a black hood nodded silently, and held a tuning fork-like thing against the white triangle on his forehead. Within a few seconds, his body quickly disappeared transparently.

Charles' fingers tapped rhythmically on the rough wall. Patiently waiting for Richie's news.

Since the fuel is at the dock, there must be a fuel production line on this barren island. It is impossible for so many ships to rely solely on imports.

If you can't get the finished fuel, maybe you can consider starting with the semi-finished product, as long as it can be burned.

"Boom! Boom!!" The continuous gunshots disrupted Charles' thoughts. Not only him, but everyone on the street looked at the black building at the same time.
