Chapter 129 The Other Side of the Mountain

For Tuba, Charles still trusts him for the time being.

This guy is indeed crazy, but judging from his previous actions to help him, he should not be hostile, otherwise he could not help at all and let the pirates capture them directly.

Walking on the rocky aisle, Charles could see the ant-sized pirates on the pier below, and the toy-like warships on the sea in the distance.

The aisles in the mountain city were relatively narrow, and sporadic pirates passed by them, but they didn't have any intention of attacking. They glanced at Tuba and then went about their own business.

It seems that Tuba, who placed a cross above his head in front of him, really played a role.

"Mr. Charles, are we really invisible? Why don't they attack us anymore?" Lily, standing on Charles' shoulder, stretched out her little paw curiously, and grabbed the clothes of a pirate next to her.

"No."

Charles knew that they were definitely not invisible, but he was also a little puzzled as to how the old lunatic in front of him managed to do this.

Following Tuba, they walked round and round in the mountain city for nearly half an hour, and they came to a low cave.

"Pass through here, and we can see what you're looking for." Tuba said with a smile, and bent down to get in first.

"The fuel you're talking about is buried in this mountain, right?" Charles asked Tuba.

If it is said that the fuel is really going to be there, then it would be easier for him to lead people into the black exchange just now, at least there is still a glimmer of hope to grab it from there.

If they really wanted to move fuel from this mountain, the pirates would have surrounded them long before the move was over.

"No, it's on the other side of the mountain. The fuel comes from there." Tuba in the cave replied in a low voice.

The environment in the cave is short and stuffy, and people have to squat and walk in it, which is very depressing.

After walking in this environment for nearly ten minutes, Charles, who is extremely resilient, and the small mice were fine, but Feuerbach couldn't hold on.

Hearing the breathing behind him getting heavier, Charles asked, "How is it? Are you all right?"

Feuerbach wiped the sweat from his brow with his sleeve. "It's okay! It's just a little aggrieved. Compared with this environment, the vast sea really belongs to me."

This discomfort didn't last long. Five minutes later, they emerged from the other side of the mountain.

The scenery in front of him suddenly opened up, Charles stood halfway up the mountain and looked down. Scattered buildings, large and small, sit in the valleys between the mountains.

But Charles' gaze didn't fall on those buildings. Instead, he looked at the most striking ruins of a giant ring facility by the sea in the distance.

It was a huge industrial facility not much smaller than the surrounding mountains. Although it had been corroded by time and was very dilapidated, Charles was still very shocked.

"Hey, the pirates definitely can't make such a big thing, it should be made by the Foundation again, why do these guys have it everywhere." Richard jumped out.

"There, that's where the fuel comes out." Tuba pointed to a group of buildings under the ring facility.

The place Tuba pointed to was a black shed that was estimated to be the size of four football fields. From above, it was impossible to see what was inside, but there were several tall towers erected around it, and the searchlights illuminated the surrounding area clearly. Security is very tight.

Standing high, Charles also saw some details. Behind the factory building, there are several railroad tracks that are arranged in a messy cross arrangement.

It was not the rails of the train but the rails of the mine cart. The mine cart carried something and drove towards the back of another mountain on the island.

Because of the distance, Charles couldn't see what was on the mine carts, only the rocks were black.

"Let's go down." With a happy face, Tuba walked down the steep stone road.

"Is the fuel here coal mines, or the residual waste oil boiled from whale oil?"

As for charcoal, Charles didn't ask at all, how could there be charcoal fuel in such a place where even grass doesn't grow.

"Coal mine whale oil? What is that? I don't know, we call it black balls, we've been here for so long, we've been burning that stuff."

Charles thought to himself. "It sounds like a coal mine. It seems that this island is rich in coal resources."

After coming down from the mountain, they cautiously approached the giant facility.

After walking quietly along the circular facility for a few minutes, they were already very close to the black shed complex, and Charles could even see the white air exhaled from the mouths of patrolling pirates on the high platform.

Tuba was about to walk towards the black iron gate of the complex when he was stopped by Charles. "what are you doing!"

"It's okay, I will be invisible, don't be afraid! They can't see us." Tuba patted his chest, and took out the crumpled cross again.

Charles couldn't let him mess around. Perhaps Tuba did have some special abilities. He was just an ordinary pirate before, but this is obviously an important location on the island, and there must be more powerful pirates guarding it.

If Tuba makes the slightest mistake, Charles' entire mission will be for naught.

And he had better options than letting this lunatic just rush in.

"Lily, ask your friends to explore the way." Charles said to the mouse on his shoulder.

The small mouse is obviously suitable for lurking and inquiring, which is why Charles brought Lily here.

"Squeak~squeak~" The dark brown mouse jumped around quickly for a while, and the four mice ran towards the buildings along the dark corner.

"Mr. Charles, don't worry, I taught them a lot of things before, and Tiao Tiao will be able to explain clearly this time."

Charles nodded with a solemn expression. As long as they can find out whether it is a fuel plant, their mission to the island this time will be completed.

Time passed by little by little, and Charles, who was getting anxious, took out his pocket watch to check the time from time to time. He had never felt that the time was so long.

"Brother, do we want to go in here and take a look?" Richard controlled his eyes and turned to the huge ring next to him.

"Don't look for trouble, haven't you caused enough trouble?" Charles squeezed out the words through his teeth.

"How can you call it nothing? It's so broken that even the roof is gone. What danger can there be? Look, there are spider webs there."

Unmoved, Charles stood still and looked at his pocket watch.

"It's boring for you to do this. This facility belongs to the Foundation. Go inside and see what's going on. They came down from the surface. What if there is any key information about the exit."

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't want to argue with you at this time."

"How about a compromise and let Lily's mouse go in? That's the way to go."
