Chapter 686 Exploration

"Captain, is there any connection between the two things we encountered before? Are they in the same group??" Dipper, who was a little nervous, looked at the two points on the map and asked.

"I don't know, I just hope that the thing that attacked us is not the same as the thing just now." Charles said with a solemn expression, looking at the map in front of him.

Now I can't directly go back to the location just now to confirm. If these two things are the same, it will be a big trouble.

That meant that the Narwhal had been targeted by that thing. No matter what that thing was, with such a large size, ordinary movement was enough to cause fatal damage to them.

The Narwhal, which had finally escaped from Ascension, was heading into the darkness. After the incident just now, the crew immediately cheered up, and the ship began to enter a wartime state.

The sailors on guard on the deck were not allowed to go down even for meals, so the chef and the cook directly brought them up.

As time passed, it turned out that being careful was not a big mistake, and soon another white ball reappeared in the darkness, this time its position was about ten kilometers away from the lower left corner of the Narwhal.

According to the report of the sailor on duty, it didn't appear just now, but it suddenly appeared.

But this time it was different from the ones I encountered before. It stopped there motionless, as if it was a dead thing.

"How long is it until the edge of the Foundation's exploration?" Charles standing on the deck raised his head and shouted to the cockpit.

"According to the current speed, there is still half a day."

Charles, who heard the report, frowned and continued to watch. There were only small white spots the size of rice grains in the distance. He was now caught in the most troublesome thing in the exploration process, which was the unknown.

He is not afraid of how powerful this thing is, but that its ability or abnormal ability cannot be predicted.

They were not the only ones who came across this white ball. Before they saw this thing for the first time, the boats of the Heker tribe also saw it. .

But Charles also didn't forget that the same thing had two completely different endings on the exploration ship that was dismembered into metal rain, which made him really confused about the specific situation of this thing.

"Why don't you...send someone over there to have a look?" A slow voice sounded from Charles' ears, making him look surprised at the first officer who walked beside him.

"Are you crazy? God knows what that is! Are you still looking for death??"

"It's been following us. What if these three are the same thing...? It's better to face it than to run away."

Charles frowned and looked at the white spot in the distance and thought about it. "Wait first, let's continue to walk forward and see, it would be great if we can avoid it."

The captain's order quickly spread to the whole ship, and the Narwhal continued to move forward into the darkness, and the lower moon, which was the size of a grain of rice, gradually disappeared.

This walk took half a day, and by this time, all the information obtained from the Foundation's previous explorations had been used up.

The next area is an area that no one has explored. Whether they can survive or not depends on the strength of the crew, but the good news is that the previous white ball has never appeared again.

Seeing that that thing never appeared again, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as if the crisis had passed.

However, the reality will always be unexpected by everyone, and everyone will be together. On the third day when the Narwhal entered the unexplored area, a white round cake suddenly appeared in front of the bow of the ship without warning. , the distance is very close, so close that Charles can see the large and small potholes above.

"Full right rudder!! Avoid!" Nico, who was frightened into a cold sweat, turned quickly at the fastest speed, and the Narwhal finally avoided the frontal impact before it collided.

The moonlight on the white cake coated everyone's ugly faces with a layer of silver. Just now it was just a cake, but now it turned into a ball.

"Quick! Go and see if the water in the water tank is polluted!!"

Hearing Charles' extremely nervous order, he quickly flicked the bandage with his hand, and a green vine quickly split from the opening of his bandage, and flung it towards the hatch.

This time he was so close to this weird thing, he was really afraid that he would run into the troubles of the exploration ship before, and the few seconds of waiting Charles felt like years, but when he saw the bandage nodded to himself, he finally loosened it tone.

The Narwhal quickly withdrew and waited until the ball became the size of a ping pong ball again before coming to a complete stop.

Looking at the things in the distance, Charles frowned. He knew he couldn't wait any longer. This thing was weird, and he had to find a way to figure out what it was, or God knows how long this thing would be with him.

"Lily, find a few mice to go and have a look!"

Soon a toy-like helicopter with a height of half a person was dragged onto the deck by sailors, and several colorful mice climbed up after a few squeaks. One of the mice was carrying a bottle of fresh water on its back.

The propellers rotated rapidly, and the wind blowing out shook Charles' bangs constantly. Under everyone's gaze, the small plane flew towards the white ball in the distance.

"Look! Everyone is very smart! There is no problem with this operation! You didn't believe it before!" Lily raised her head proudly and said to Charles.

Charles touched Lily's head with his hand, "I actually need a drone with a camera more than a mouse plane."

Watching them pass by, Charles had already prepared for those mice not to come back, but to his surprise, those mice came back unharmed.

For the sake of safety, Charles didn't let them stop on the deck immediately, but separated them three meters away, and asked Lily to translate their meaning.

"Squeak squeak squeak! squeak."

"They say it's a labyrinth, and there are many roads with nothing in it. It smells like takraw balls. The white stuff is hard. It tastes like bones, but it doesn't have any taste."

"By the way, when they came back, they found that the bottle of water they brought was smelly."

The mouse's answer was not different from what the previous explorers said, but it was also unexplainable. Why did this thing follow Charles? Was it only him who had this situation, or did the previous explorers also encounter the same situation?

"Wait, open that stinky bottle of water and let me have a look." Hearing Charles' order, the mice immediately followed suit, and the cork was unscrewed. In an instant, a fishy, ​​sweet and slippery smell of corruption filled the air. All noses.

Charles immediately covered his mouth and nose tightly, and immediately ordered the mice to throw away the stinky water immediately. Looking at the water bottles that kept falling, Charles was caught in a dilemma for a while, what should he do next?
