Chapter 685 Move (Add More)
A little bit of time passed, and the Narwhal continued to drive towards the exploration boundary as planned.
During this period, they also encountered a returning exploration ship, and the two sides separated after a brief exchange of information.
From their mouths, I learned that they had just returned from the border and obtained first-hand information over there.
Seeing two alive exploration ships in a row, Charles felt a little relieved for some reason.
Sure enough, with the help of the map, the explorers finally didn't have to risk their lives, or else God knows how many people would die with so many roads.
Although explorers are not afraid of death, no one wants to die.
"There are still 2 days before we can reach the border of the Foundation's exploration? Now, half a month has passed, and the time flies so fast." Nico, who was on the deck with a cigarette in his mouth, said to Charles beside him. .
"Well, I heard that Grace likes to run to your room recently? How is her mood?" Charles is concerned about the psychological problems of the most important crew members.
Upon hearing this, Nico suddenly poured out bitterness, "You can take the time to take care of this little girl, she holds all kinds of thick books that can kill people and asks me questions every day, how do I know what physics is? What is chemistry, in order to answer her questions, I have to learn from her every day."
"Except for shifts and sleeping, she takes up my other time. You can see that the wrinkles in the corners of my eyes can't be covered with makeup."
"I really don't want to talk to her, but when I saw her pure eyes, my heart softened. When I was the governor of Coral Island, if I had worked hard, I would have eliminated He Fang and the British Isle. The overlord of the North Sea."
There was a smile on Charles's face, but then he thought of something and sighed slightly, "She was born in the wrong place, maybe this is fate."
"But since she likes to cling to you, then you should work harder and keep an eye on her for me. There are some things you can do, but it's not convenient for me to do."
The expression on the frowning Nico's face gradually disappeared. After she slightly blew out a smoke ring, she said leisurely: "Captain, I can see that this child lacks love. She is trying to please everyone all the time, which means She was living in an uneasy environment all the time before, this is a poor child, if it is possible..."
Speaking of this, the second officer paused, "If possible, why not change it."
"How do you know? Could it be that you also learned psychotherapy from Linda?" Charles looked at him.
"Simple, because I was such a person before, and that kind of feeling is really bad." Nico said this, with a gloomy look on his face.
Charles thought for a while, then shook his head slightly, "No, you have to re-adapt to the rhythm of exploration after changing people. Didn't I say it before, she is the strongest in this group of weapons."
Nico shook his head helplessly, "I knew you would say that, no wonder your wife would have trouble with you. Your heart is too hard."
Charles looked down at his chest. "My heart is always hard. Do your job well. Of course I hope to find the darkness happily, and then go back alone without dying, but do you think it is possible?"
Nico bit his lips a bit tangled, and didn't stop even after his lipstick got smudged. After hesitating for a while, he was about to speak again. Suddenly his expression froze, and he looked up at the airbag above his head at the same time as Charles.
"There's movement up there!" Charles' body instantly disappeared in place.
Nico threw away the cigarette in his hand, grabbed the rope like a monkey and quickly climbed up.
When he came to the top of the airbag, he saw that Charles was already standing there, holding something on it with his prosthetic limb with a dignified expression.
After Nico approached, he realized that what Charles was holding in his hand was half a piece of blackened gear. The slight sound just now was the sound of the gear hitting the airbag.
"This thing is on the exploration ship. Did you see the code? It was produced by the factory on Tianshui Island. Some exploration ship was attacked by something." Charles looked up at the darkness above with vigilance.
"There shouldn't be any maps explored by the Foundation here, right? Now that any danger has been explored, what can they be attacked by?"
Charles shook his head, "That's not necessarily true, all living things move."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two looked up at the top of their heads again at the same time.
I saw that it started to rain in the upper part of the sky. Scattered small parts, mixed sewage and human fragments, fell down like a torrential rain!
At the moment when these things were about to fall on the airbag, transparent tentacles stretched out from all around Charles, and waved quickly with a howling sound, knocking everything that fell in the air out one after another.
After the debris equivalent to an entire exploration ship fell, Charles and Nico, who looked up at the sky, showed a trace of fear on their faces before Charles could take a breather.
A huge round sphere like a mountain peak rushed towards the Narwhal like Mount Tai with a desperate shock! !
"Let's go!" Charles' voice almost broke the sound.
The propeller on the back of the Narwhal rotated rapidly, pushing the ship forward rapidly.
However, this vulgar speed is usually okay, but it is not enough when facing a giant white ball like a mountain.
When Charles found out that at this speed, he would definitely be hit by something above his head, Charles decisively took countermeasures.
"Deflate the airbags!! Hurry up!!" Charles quickly found the zippers at the corners of each small airbag, and with a light pull, the airbags instantly dried up.
After receiving feedback from explorers, the accessories of the shipyard are constantly changing.
In this case, as long as the airbag is deflated, the exploration ship will plummet, which is very convenient for escape.
The giant ball was falling rapidly, and the Narwhal was also descending rapidly at this time. For a while, the two even formed a delicate balance.
When I thought this situation would continue forever, the giant white ball began to change. It first changed from a ball to a hemisphere, then from a hemisphere to a white cake, and finally completely disappeared into the darkness.
Nico, who was standing above the airbag, breathed out rapidly. He was really scared just now. If he was crushed by that thing, no one would be able to hold it back. "Damn! What is that!!"
Facing the second officer's question, Charles couldn't answer. The only thing he knew now was that the thing looked alive.
Since it's not on the Foundation map, it must have come from somewhere else.
"Whatever that is, we must get out of here now, as soon as possible."
Charles jumped out of the front airbag, rushed into the cockpit, and drew a new dot on the map with a solemn expression.
This dot is symmetrical to the previous dot.
