Chapter 852 Island
The last words of first mate Seth made everyone who listened to feel nervous. It was obvious that the other party had suffered some accident.
Charles put the black microphone to his mouth and shouted anxiously: "Mate Seth! Report your current situation! Please answer!"
However, there was no other sound from the speaker, and now there was a dead silence inside.
Frowning, Charles quickly picked up the chart and checked the opponent's location.
"Malfoy and Scorpion Tail, you are the closest to his position, turn to rescue immediately! Other ships are coming soon!"
After hearing two receipts, Charles shouted to the communication pipe of the turbine cabin next to him: "Chief engineer! The fastest speed! We must rush there immediately!"
"Got it, Captain!" Orderric's voice came from the circular pipe.
As the low trembling sound began to sound, the Narwhal began to accelerate, and the other people on board immediately entered into a state of readiness tacitly.
Time passed little by little, and the atmosphere on the ship became a little dignified. The mood of the crew members was still stable. As long as they explored, there was no guarantee that they would not die, and they were all used to it.
Finally, after two hours of chasing, they came to the position of first mate Seth on the seabed. As an exploration ship, the entire hull is almost a lump of iron, especially this kind of ship specially modified to be able to dive.
But what appeared in front of Charles were pieces of scattered metal fragments in the submarine canyon, which were too shattered, as if the iron bumps were torn apart as if they were paper.
The two exploration ships that arrived before him were using their searchlights to sweep around among these things, as if they were looking for some survivors.
But Charles knew that this was doomed to be futile, the water pressure at the current location would kill a person as soon as he was exposed to seawater.
After frowning and meditating for a while, Charles quickly came to the rear deck, pulled the puppet to the front deck, and then pointed to the scene outside the reinforced glass and asked, "Since you have been here, tell me. What caused this?"
The puppet raised that half of its head, jerkyly turning its rusty eyeballs to look at the debris outside. "lion."
"What?" Charles almost thought he heard it wrong, or there was something wrong with its expression, how could there be such a thing in the sea.
The puppet moved to the side of the glass, looked at the outside and said dully: "It's almost here, I'm going out"
This time, Charles understood that this guy wanted to lead him the way.
After hesitantly looking at it and thinking for a while, Charles waved his hand and asked Dipper next to him to take it to the decompression chamber.
Although there may still be dangers in the future, since they are all here, it is impossible to give up halfway.
"Di Pu, send the current coordinates to the other captains and let all the ships gather!" Since there is no way to prevent unknown dangers, let's all go together.
Soon, the four-meter-high puppet was sent back to the deep sea. It was obviously different from the dull one on the ground. As some blue anemone-like things grew out of its joints, the puppet was like a fish. Swim easily in the deep sea.
A few hours later, other exploration ships also arrived one after another. They formed a line led by the Narwhal, and followed the puppet in the deep sea silently.
This journey is more than fifty nautical miles. If it weren't for the compass and other equipment that showed that they had been heading north, Charles even felt that this thing was taking him in circles in the sea.
Just when they were about to reach 60 nautical miles, the puppet suddenly stopped in place. The next second, the radar started to send out an alarm, and something appeared above them.
The huge searchlights on the eleven exploration ships lifted up abruptly, and everyone saw an island lying in the water, the towering island, the huge dark red pipe connected to the island, and the hazy mist above it. This was clearly what they were looking for!
The exploration ship surrounded it carefully, and the divers carrying oxygen cylinders got off the ship and began to approach it.
This time, Charles didn't go for the exploration. He decided to stay outside to take care of the overall situation. The ones who went up were Bandage, Dipper, and other crew members on the exploration ship.
The people brought here this time were not randomly found, and were carefully selected for the environment inside, ensuring that the task could be completed as quickly as possible.
As for the bandages, there is also a reason for going with Dipper. As a deep diver, Dipper is very useful in this deep-sea environment, and the bandages are because he is not affected by the island and will not be locked in the wall world. Go, he can stay outside to respond.
Watching them swim into the huge island, Charles couldn't help but feel suspended in his heart. Although they have been to this place once, they knew that this place would suck people into the wall, but this is one of the torsos of the gods. No one can guarantee that there will be other accidents.
Time passed by, everyone was waiting anxiously on the deck, and finally they came out.
When Di Pu appeared in the deep sea with the others, a large piece of the green scales on his abdomen was obviously scraped off, and blood seeped out continuously.
As soon as the sea water in the decompression chamber dropped, Charles opened the door and walked in, asking with a solemn expression, "How did you get injured?"
Dipper shook his head, "There are some things locked inside, and it's not just humans who are trapped inside, but it doesn't matter, Captain, what I want to say is that this island is not the one we have been to before. It’s over, there’s no left hand here.”
"What?!"
"Really, I searched many times, but I couldn't find it. At first, I thought I didn't look carefully."
"Later, I recalled that the bandages left some words on the wall to guide us out, but there were no words on the wall of this island. This island is really not the island we were going to."
Seeing that the bandage next to him also nodded to him, Charles began to think. He still remembered that when that island sank back then, other islands also sank, that is to say, there were still many islands of this type, and he had to find the one he had been to.
The others watched him silently, waiting for the captain's next order. As the captain, he had the highest command.
After a long time, Charles raised his head and looked at the others, "Give my order to the other exploration ships, everyone disperses, and slowly advances along the pipe under the island."
Hearing this, Di Pu couldn't help reminding, "Captain, there's something under the pipe"
"I know, do as I said, only by finding the source can we find out where the other islands are."
The submarines suspended on the bottom of the sea began to move. They stuck to the dark red pipe connecting the bottom of the island, and slowly drove towards the darkness in the distance.
