Chapter 80: swamp

　　" Through January 2 of the ninth year.
　　 "It has been more than 20 days since I went out to sea. The island I explored this time is a bit far away, and the resources of the Narwhal are a bit insufficient."
　　 "If the island of 1002 can be turned into a new island, it would be much better to replenish supplies from there."
　　 "When I came, I deliberately went around the island to take a look. From the messy island, the battle between Elizabeth and 1002 was not smooth. It might not be easy to wait for the island to develop."
　　 "But also, the weird power of 1002 is really not so easy to solve. I hope everything goes well for them."
　　 Kede also started to act, anyway, everything is moving in a good direction.
　　 I don’t know where Anna is now, maybe... [cross out]"
　　 After Charles waited for the ink to dry, he covered the diary and walked toward the deck with his feet up, and began to patrol the ship once a day.
　　 Just about to open the kitchen door, excited Dipp ran by with a fishing rod in his hand, and a jellyfish-like creature hung on the hook.
　　 "Frey! Come on! I caught a crystal jellyfish! Would you use it to make soup?"
　　 An angry roar from Chef Frey came from the kitchen.
　　 "You get out of here! Catch up these messy things all day long, do it yourself! I don't do it anyway!"
　　 Charles walked into the kitchen and bypassed the two of them, making sure that there was nothing unusual inside.
　　 "Chef, bugs are starting to grow inside this cracker, pay attention." Charles interrupted the conversation between the two.
　　 Frey hurried over and said that these bugs were all for the sailors to eat, and the captain had absolutely no problem with it.
　　 "What does it mean to feed the sailor? Isn't the sailor human?" For the benefit of his subordinates, Dip quarreled with him again.
　　 Charles didn't stop him. Compared with the trembling of the crew who entered the unknown sea before, they still have free time to quarrel. Sure enough, the ability of people to adapt to things is still very fast.
　　 came out of the kitchen, and Charles walked towards the other hatch.
　　 patrols are not only to monitor whether there is anything crawling in the sea, other factors are also important.
　　 Whether it is food or fuel or the mental state of the crew, any mistake can turn a ship into an iron coffin and ruin everyone on board.
　　Deck, cockpit, turbine cabin, crew lounge, galley, cargo hold, water tank, every place, Charles carefully checked one side.
　　 Other captains may have different rules, but on his own ship, Charles always checks himself.
　　 Details determine success or failure. He can live so long at sea because of his care.
　　 In fact, these things are most of the captain's work, simple and boring but very important.
　　 "Captain! There is an island!" Charles, who was counting the fuel, was stunned when he heard the news. According to the actual situation, there should be three days before the target point.
　　 He hurriedly walked to the deck and saw the blurred island under the searchlight in the distance.
　　 Different from the previous islands, this island is very "high". It is said that the island is actually more like a flat-topped mountain. There is nothing on the surrounding rock walls, and the platform above is too high to be seen.
　　 Looking up at the oppressive island in front of him, Charles waved his hand first, and the sailor first anchored, and then said to his vampire crew: "Audrick, fly up and take a look."
　　 The vampire nodded and turned into a bat and rose into the sky.
　　 Just as Charles was waiting for him to return, Dip came over with a puzzled look. "Captain, the anchor can't touch the bottom."
　　 "This is next to the island, how can it not be touched to the end?"
　　 Charles took him to the windlass and found that all the chains on it had really been put down.
The anchor chain of the 　　 Narwhal can be a full 100 meters long. It can’t touch the end. What is the structure of this island? An electric pole that goes straight up and down?
　　 After thinking for a while, Charles said, "Then don't drop anchor. When the meeting goes to the island, Frey and the sailor will stay on the boat and watch."
　　 Audrick will be back soon, his expression is a little weird. "Captain, there is a swamp above. I circled around and there are no people alive."
　　 "Swamp?" Charles was very surprised at this answer. He really didn't expect the swamp to appear on the island.
　　 "No matter what, go up and have a look."
　　 With the help of the flying Audrick, a rope ladder was quickly laid on the rock wall. Charles and the other crew members climbed up the ladder and found that it was true to the vampire that it was indeed a swamp.
　　 This swamp is a bit different from the forest swamp. There are no trees, no flowers, no life, but only wet mud, smelly water and thick fog.
　　 There is not nothing in the swamp, big and small rocks lying in the mud.
　　 Throw some fish into the silt, and no creatures came out to eat.
　　 Charles walked carefully toward the mud~EbookFREE.me~ and found that the place was not deep, the deepest place was only his thigh, and the right foot was stepped in the mud, and the underground was actually solid.
　　 "Hey, buddy, do you think this place is like a hot pot? Look at how the stones look like the white tofu in a lamb hot pot."
　　 Charles didn't bother to pay attention to the ridicule in his head, holding up the muddy water with his hands and putting it in front of his nose, the peculiar smell of sea water mixed with the rotten smell poured into his nose.
　　The water in these swamps is seawater, which is of no use value.
　　 Charles waved back, meaning the others followed.
　　For this harsh environment, everyone frowned. No one likes being dirty. They walk in the swamp and feel like stepping into a cesspit.
　　 Lily's mice all turned into black briquettes within a short time. The white mouse Lily dared to go into the water when she saw this place, hugged Charles' neck tightly, and said not to let go.
　　 Although Charles has dark vision, the thick fog obscures his vision. In such a place, he can see nothing.
This environment reminds Charles of the island he explored the first time. He didn’t want to make the same mistake a second time. After a period of time, he would compare his crew with the number of people on his arm to ensure that there would be no more people out of thin air. Or one less person.
　　 The torch dragons in the hands of the crowd pushed back the fog, and they walked slowly towards the center of the island.
　　 The muddy water in the swamp carried a certain chill. After only half an hour after Charles had gone, he could hardly feel the presence of his toes.
　　 Charles didn't dare to be careless, and asked all the crew to stand on the stone, waiting for their feet to regain consciousness before leaving.
　　 Taking advantage of this opportunity, the crew stuffed their mouths with food, and they had to eat even if they weren’t hungry to provide motivation for the body.
