Chapter 188 The Vortex

"Da da da" Charles tapped his fingers on the chart, and he looked at the location of the selected island with a frown.

This island is not far away, forming an equilateral triangle with Tianshui Island and Hope Island.

Through the time of cruising, Charles could feel that his crew members were a little unaccustomed to the depression at sea, and their spirits were a little too tense.

The same is true of the crew who have been parked for three years. The three years have made them a little unfamiliar with the sea. If something happens to the nearest island, they can escape.

"I hope there are clues on this island..." Charles also knew that this was a good wish. Good things are scarce in the sea, and despair is the norm.

"Crunch" Lily opened the captain's cabin with a group of colorful subordinates. Her color today is fluorescent green, and she is still dragging Charles' cell phone with both hands.

"Mr. Charles, the mirror on your phone is black."

Charles took the phone over, slid it quickly with his fingers, and put it in his pocket. "The phone ran out of battery because you played with it."

Lily's little ears drooped slightly, "Is that so... What a pity, I haven't seen enough."

"Is the 15-minute short film so good? Watch it so many times?"

"Well, it's pretty good, I like that mouse, that mouse is so smart." A group of colorful mice piled up and sent Lily to the table.

Lily stood on the chart and looked at it for a while, then raised her head and said, "Mr. Charles, can I sleep with you today? I haven't slept with you for a long time."

Charles glanced at her. "If you are still a human being, are you 14 now? Do you think it is appropriate?"

"I'm not a human now, I'm a mouse. Don't mice have to avoid suspicion? I don't even know if I can change back." Lily rolled around on the back of Charles' hand.

"Have you been back to Coral Island to see your parents recently?" Charles held her in his hands and kneaded her tail.

"No, I asked Mr. Bandage to hire Dad to Hope Island with a high salary. By the way, Mom is pregnant again. I don't know if it's a younger brother or a younger sister." Lily rubbed her hairy face on Charles' finger.

The little mouse finished talking for a long time, but she didn't expect to wait for Charles' reply. She looked up and found that Charles' face was a little dignified.

Da da da, Charles' boots stepped on the ground and made a hurried sound, he went straight to the round window and poked his head out.

"Mr. Charles, what's going on outside? Is there something wrong?" Lily stepped on the window sill and looked outside. There was nothing unusual outside the window.

"No, the speed of the boat is getting faster." Charles with a serious face grabbed Lily and put it in his pocket.

"Dipper, what's going on, didn't I say to move forward at a speed of 20 knots? Why is it at least 25 knots now?"

The bosun at the helm also had a very surprised expression on his face. "Is there?? I didn't speed up. If you don't believe me, ask the big man."

After confirming with the chief engineer of the turbine cabin, Charles found that the Narwhal really did not change gears. Since it was not a problem with the ship, it was a problem with the sea, and he needed to confirm the situation.

"Odric, fly out to explore the way. Look around for any abnormalities in the sea."

The huge black-winged bat soared into the air and quickly flew towards the surrounding darkness.

Charles didn't dare to let the Narwhal fly too fast, and quickly anchored the Narwhal.

However, a trouble arose, the anchor chain was all put out and could not reach the bottom of the sea.

This situation made Charles recall some bad things, and the expression on his face became more serious, something must be happening.

The vampire is back, and he has bad news.

"Captain, at the nine o'clock direction of the ship, there is a huge vortex two nautical miles away, which caused the ship's abnormal acceleration. The vortex is very big, as big as Dark Crystal Island."

Upon hearing this question, the crew present showed nervousness on their faces. If the Narwhal was pulled into such a huge vortex, it would definitely be torn into pieces in an instant!

Charles snatched the steering wheel from Dipper's hand and spun it quickly. "Chief engineer! Turn the turbo to maximum! We must jump out of the whirlpool immediately."

Black smoke with sparks came out of the chimney, and the speed of the Narwhal began to increase.

As the bow of the ship turned, the sound of the waves in the lower part of the ship gradually became louder, and the pull of the propeller and the underwater gravity caused the whole ship to shake a little.

But fortunately, this situation was discovered relatively early, and the crisis was not too serious. Half an hour later, the gravity in the water gradually disappeared.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief seeing the sea under the searchlight gradually stabilize. The crisis appears to be over.

Charles returned the helm to Dipper. "Be careful, this place is an unexplored sea area. The sea area may be a bit uneven."

"Understood, all these years have been arresting people on the island, otherwise, I would have discovered this situation a long time ago."

Just as Dipper was about to take over the steering wheel, the Narwhal suddenly let out a mournful cry, and then the ship tilted suddenly, and his body flew out of the cabin.

"Whoosh~!" A rope flew out, wrapping tightly around Charles' right ankle.

Flying in mid-air, Charles had no time to say thank you to his boat. Looking at the water in front of him, he felt chills all over his body.

The roar of the waves rang in his ears, and a huge vortex with a diameter of several kilometers quickly dragged the Narwhal towards the dark spot in the center. This vortex was moving!

In the next second, Charles' muscles tensed instantly, and he pulled the rope with one hand and quickly flew back to the deck.

"Turbo overdrive!! Hurry up!!" He rushed into the cockpit, screaming loudly into the turbo communication pipe.

"Don't just stand still! The bosun leads the sailors to reduce the load as much as possible!! The first mate and the second mate, patrol the cabin to prevent water leaks! Quickly, quickly, move!!"

With Charles' order, all the crew members of the Narwhal started to move. For the safety of their own lives, everyone tried their best.

The traction under the hull was still increasing, and the Narwhal made a creaking sound of metal deformation, and Charles' teeth were clenched.

The rapidly rotating propeller pushed the Narwhal slowly towards the edge of the vortex.

But just as they were about to leave, James' voice came from the pipe. "Captain! No more overloading!! The vortex furnace is going to explode!!"

"Continue to add fuel!! Don't stop!!" After Charles shouted, he clapped his hands on the steering wheel vigorously. "Man, you can do it, hold on. Get out soon!! For everyone, hold on for a while!"

At this moment, Charles' heart almost reached his throat. If the vortex furnace went on strike at this time, everyone on board would die.

Twenty seconds, thirty seconds, forty seconds, Charles suddenly felt the hull shake, and they got rid of the vortex.

"Huh~huh~huh~" Charles, who was holding the steering wheel, panted heavily.

The other crew members gathered in the cockpit one after another. Seeing the faces of their survivors, Charles showed a smile of excitement on his face.

"It seems that Dihai gave us a good appetizer. Has everyone's feelings returned?"

"came back!!"

"came back!!"
