"Mr. Charles, Xiao Maomao said it was weird, but no one is not dangerous." Standing on Charles's shoulder, Lily translated the original words of exploring mice.
The frowning Charles held the telescope and looked at the steamship parked on the Gobi Desert in the distance.
Judging from the traces, the ship should have departed a month and a half ago. After getting the trace photos of 068, Charles deliberately sent several ships in advance to explore in advance, and it was one of them.
However, the current metal and steel ship has completely changed its appearance, and the streamlined hull is extremely weird and twisted.
As if it had become a piece of plasticine before, and then let a child play for half an hour, something must have happened to this ship.
"Go, let's go over and take a look." Charles finished speaking, raising his foot and walking away.
As the distance narrowed, Charles saw more details, not only the metal of the hull was twisted and deformed, but also the glass of the cockpit.
The supposedly fragile glass is twisted into a rugged mirror.
This must be done by some kind of extremely strange power, but Charles couldn't figure out what kind of power this is. There are far more weird things on the surface of the earth than the sea.
"Crack~~" Charles took off the curved hatch directly, and his right eye jumped directly from his eye socket and quickly crawled into it.
The speed of the spider is very fast. It quickly crawled through this undulating corridor to get a panoramic view of everything inside.
The distorted outside, the same goes for the inside. The black and red spiders with their own unique lines are so uncoordinated inside.
Soon Charles stopped in the kitchen, and he crawled in. The pots and pans inside were all twisted, even the pickles in the glass jars.
The spider jumped on the chopping board and poured digestive juice into the dried meat in front of him.
"Everything is good and you can eat it," Charles said to himself outside the deck.
"The fresh water tank is filled with light beer and there is no poison in it, and the fuel tank is also sufficient. It can be said that there is nothing missing on this ship except for people."
The spider quickly crawled out after a long circle inside, and crawled back into the eye socket along Charles's trouser legs.
"Bandages, are there enough supplies on board?" Charles turned his head and asked his first officer.
"The water is enough... but the others are... almost... half consumed..., and reserved for the reverse journey..."
After thinking about it, Charles directly ordered the crew to collect the materials in the strange ship. It was already here. Only if the materials were enough to continue the exploration.
As for what happened to the people on this ship, Charles no longer thought about it, it was nothing more than death.
Barrels of twisted fuel and food were removed from the inside and carried onto Charles' ship.
Everyone boarded the ship again, and continued to follow the moving rules of 068. Charles had another long and boring journey, but on the third day of encountering the ship, a brand new landscape appeared in front of Charles, some Ruins of houses.
At first it was just a pile or two, but gradually more and more ruins, and finally a complete city appeared in front of everyone.
In a special city where everything has been weathered, some tall buildings have collapsed and some are standing in place. It looks very bleak under the purple light.
"Mr. Charles, did you live in such a place before?" Lily leaned into Charles's ear and asked, her voice very small as if she was afraid of waking up the unknown in the city, even if it seemed that there was nothing in it now.
The track of 068 slammed straight into the city, squeezing two paths abruptly in the ruins.
Charles' boat moved slowly along these two ruins.
Standing on the deck, Charles tried to distinguish which city it was and whether he was currently in Asia or Europe.
However, the weathering of the wind and sand has made him unable to see the details of the city, and it is difficult to judge what landmarks the city has.
But slowly he felt that something was wrong with the city. Looking at the city, it was very weird. There were always only crowded high-rise buildings. This was obviously abnormal. No city had ever planned it like this.
The weathered tall buildings of the same height and width are so weird. This frugal style reminds Charles of the Foundation for no reason.
"Impossible, why did the Foundation build these cities on this? The surface is perilous and they are completely useless."
"But if this city is left over from my time, it seems a bit unreasonable. It's over 1,000. Can the traces of the city be there?"
Suddenly, between the two tall buildings on the right, an erect prismatic eye flashed by, and Charles's spirit was instantly tense and immediately ordered the crew to enter a state of combat readiness.
Just as the front and rear deck guns turned the black muzzle over there, the owner of the eye walked out between the buildings. It was a bug, a bug that was several hundred meters long and made up of a pile of black jigsaw puzzles.
It looks like it is floating in the air, and is slowly approaching towards Charles.
Seeing such a huge creature approaching here, everyone was extremely nervous.
They stared at Charles nervously, waiting for him to give an attack order, but Charles had no intention of doing anything.
He stared at the bottom of the bug intently, and this guy had no shadow.
"Captain! Fight or run!!" The expression on Dip's face looked very anxious, but Charles still ignored him and stared at the bug.
As the distance got closer, everyone found details that they hadn't noticed before. The bug was not floating. It had long legs like dense needles ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Captain! What are you doing! ! It's coming! ! "
"Hush, don't move, don't move, stand still." Charles's peculiar eyes saw a peculiar light coming from deep underground.
Although it was strange, Charles could easily see the light buried in the ground.
Under everyone's gaze, the bug came to the top of the deck, and the long thin needle fell, passing through the skulls of everyone in an instant, and piercing the floor.
In the next second, the long needle was pulled out and continued to fall forward.
The translucent slender needle legs are like raindrops, dripping constantly on everyone's body and disappearing.
Lily carefully stretched out her small paw and touched the long needle in front of her, but went straight through it.
This thing is not physical, or it is no longer in the same plane as Charles.
