Chapter 602 Joy

"The Gobi Desert to the south is still very barren, but at least there are people."

"Cars carrying sleepers and steel set off towards the outpost. The construction scene in full swing is very shocking."

"This big movement may attract everything on the surface, but we can't care about that much."

"We are approaching the dark coordinates. Although this ghostly place has never given me good things, I still want to sincerely hope that this exploration can be completed safely, and let us bring the darkness back to Earthsea."

After watching the notes on the paper dry slowly, Charles closed the diary and walked out of the captain's room.

"Second officer, is there any problem?" He came to the cockpit and asked Nico who was raising his little finger.

"No problem, it's not in the sea now, there's not so much trouble." After speaking, he showed a charming smile to the helmsman Norden.

Feeling the other party's gaze, Norden's body tensed instantly.

"I haven't asked you yet, what happened to your exploration ship last time? Why did you escape alone?"

Exploring the surface, dead people are no big deal, but it is very rare that only one of the dead can come back alive. Not all ships are alive like the Narwhal. Nico, as an explorer who can explore a living island, is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Ah~ What happened that day... To be honest, I don't want to talk about it. That thing is too disgusting. I have reported all the details to the Explorers' Association. If you are interested, you can ask them for it. By the way, Charles, What's wrong with your face?" Nico said as he reached out to touch his face.

Charles turned around slowly, looked at him with calm eyes, without saying a word, the atmosphere in the cockpit became a little dignified.

"Do you believe that I just threw you down?"

Nico put away the smile on his face, retracted his outstretched hand, leaned his right hand on his left shoulder, and saluted Charles,

"Sorry, dear captain, I shouldn't have called you by your first name."

"I don't care what your identity is. When you get on my boat, you must listen to me. If you can't bear it, you can go straight down." Charles' voice was cold.

Nico is just the opposite of his previous identity, and there must be a gap in his heart, but Charles doesn't care about it.

As a captain, you can be selfish, extremely tyrannical, and even take pleasure in killing, but you must never let your crew threaten your right to rule, not even a little bit, this is the iron law of Earthsea.

"Okay, okay, I got it, let's talk about something else, don't you want to know what happened to me before? Actually, I don't know what happened to us, that thing looks like a dog with a long body. rotting lizard with moss."

"Its strength is very strong, the most important thing is that it is almost immortal, even if we blast it into two sections with deck guns, it uses the intestines that fell out of its body as legs, and continues to kill my crew crazily .”

"It's not a big deal, even if we can't do anything about it, we can run away, but the thing actually lives in groups, hiss~ When I think of my crew members being torn to pieces by lizards, I feel dizzy all over. cold."

Charles reached for the map pinned to the wall. "Where did you meet those things?"

Nico's slender fingernails slid across the map, and precisely hit a spot. "Well... Here, you can see that the Explorers' Association has marked it out, and they have used the suspicious extremely dangerous mark."

Charles made a quick estimate, and found that the danger on the map was not on his only path, so he was relieved.

"Then you are lucky, you can come back alive after encountering such a thing."

Hearing what Charles said, the corners of Nico's mouth rose slightly, revealing a wry smile. "How about luck? I think the luckiest time was the day I explored the coral island. Since that day, my good luck has almost been completely exhausted."

"I'm really curious about you, Captain. You've been exploring for so long and nothing happened. It can be said that you are the one who has explored the most among Earthsea explorers."

Charles turned to him, "Look at me now, do you really think there is nothing wrong?"

Nico covered his mouth with his white fingers and smiled softly, "At least you are lucky compared to those guys who sank into the bottom of the sea."

This time Charles didn't answer his words, because he noticed something abnormal. He looked beyond the transparent glass in front of him and looked outside. In the purple mist, there was a thick black smoke approaching here.

"Sound the siren to warn all crew that something is approaching us."

As the piercing siren sounded throughout the Gobi, everyone on board tensed up, ready to face the next crisis.

Everyone looked at the black smoke in the distance with solemn expressions and uneasy feelings.

Gradually, the black smoke slowly appeared. It was coming out of the chimney of an exploration ship, and it was rushing towards this side quickly.

"Give me the telescope." Charles closed his left eye and looked into the monocular with his right eye.

In the circular vision, Charles saw the crowd on the deck. They looked very excited, and their faces were flushed with excitement.

"Lily, get your mouse ready. If there is any sign of attack on this ship, you can bomb it immediately." Charles said to his gunner.

It seemed that there was no danger, but Charles didn't dare to relax. Maybe these guys were attacked by something.

"Hmm! Got it! Leave it to me!"

Lily jumped off Charles' shoulders and rushed towards the deck gun with the colorful rats.

As everyone watched, the two ships approached slowly, and Charles could see their faces without a telescope.

"Governor Charles? Is it Governor Charles? I have good news for you!! We have found the darkness! You must keep your promise! I will be the Governor soon!!"

Hearing the unbearable joy in the man's voice, Charles, with his eyes wide open, leaned forward quickly, and pushed most of his body out of the side of the boat.

"Darkness? It's really dark, you read it right? Is there any danger there? Is it my coordinates?"

"It's not far, it's just three days away, but it's not the coordinates you reported before. The position is very different. The darkness will move like the wind."

Hearing the other party's words, all the crew members on the Narwhal were infected by the other party's emotions and immediately became excited.

No one wants to die, as long as the darkness is brought back, Dihai will be saved!
