For Touba, Charles is still trusted for the time being.
This guy is really crazy, but judging from his previous actions to help himself, he should not be hostile, otherwise he could not help and let the pirates catch them directly.
Walking on the rock aisle, Charles can see pirates the size of ants on the dock below, and the warships on the sea like toy ships in the distance.
The aisles in the mountain city are relatively narrow, and sporadic pirates pass by them, but they have no intention of attacking, and after a glance at Tuba, they do their own thing.
It seemed that Touba, who put a cross on top of his head in front of him, really played a role.
"Mr. Charles, are we really invisible? Why didn't they attack us anymore?" Lily, who was standing on Charles's shoulder, stretched out her little paw curiously and grabbed the clothes of a pirate next to her.
"No."
Charles knew that they were definitely not invisible, but he was really puzzled as to how the old lunatic in front of him did this.
Following Touba, walking around the mountain city for nearly half an hour, they came to a low cave.
"Go through here, and we can see what you are looking for." Touba said with a smile, and first bent down and got in.
"The fuel you said was buried in this mountain, right?" Charles asked Touba.
If the fuel is really going to be in this way, then he might as well take someone to rush into the black exchange just now. At least there is still a glimmer of hope to grab from there.
I really have to carry fuel from this mountain, and I'm afraid the pirates have surrounded them long ago.
"No, it's on the other side of the mountain. The fuel comes from that." The Tuba urn in the cave replied with a grumble voice.
The environment in the cave is short and sultry, and people must walk in a squat, which is very depressing.
After walking in this environment for nearly ten minutes, Charles and the small mice were fine, but Feuerbach couldn't hold it.
Listening to the sound of breathing behind him getting heavier, Charles asked: "How is it? Is it okay?"
Feuerbach wiped the sweat from his face with a slender. "It's okay! It's just a bit frustrated. Compared to this environment, the vast sea really belongs to me."
This discomfort did not last long. Five minutes later, they got out of the other side of the mountain.
The scenery in front of him suddenly opened up, and Charles stood halfway up the mountain and looked down. Scattered buildings of various sizes are located in valleys between mountains.
But Charles's eyes did not fall on those buildings, but to the distant seashore, the most striking ruins of a giant circular facility.
It was a huge industrial facility not much smaller than the surrounding mountains. Although it had been corroded by time, Charles was still very shocked.
"Hey, the pirates can't make such a big thing specifically, it should be the Foundation again, how come these guys have it everywhere." Richard jumped out.
"There, that's where the fuel comes out." Touba said, pointing to a group of buildings under the ring facility.
Touba is referring to a black shed estimated to be the size of four football fields. From above, you can't see what's inside. You can only see that there are several high towers around it, and the surroundings are illuminated by searchlights. The guard is very tight.
Standing Gao Charles also saw some details. Behind the factory building, there are several railroad tracks that are arranged in a mess.
It was not a train track but a minecart track. The minecart was carrying something and drove towards the back of another mountain on the island.
Because of the distance, Charles couldn't see what was on the mine carts, only that the rocks were black.
"Let's go down." Touba, with a happy face, walked down the steep stone road.
"Is the fuel here in coal mines, or is it residual waste oil from whale oil?"
As for charcoal, Charles didn't ask at all, how could there be charcoal fuel in such a place where no grass grows.
"Coal mine whale oil? What is that? I don't know. We call it black ball. We have been here for so long and have been holding that thing to burn."
Charles thought in his mind. "It sounds like a coal mine. It seems that this island has rich coal resources."
After coming down from the mountain, they approached the giant facility cautiously.
After walking quietly along the circular facility for a few minutes, they were already very close to the black shed complex at this time, and Charles could even see the white breath of the pirates patrolling on the high platform.
Touba was about to walk towards the black iron gate of the building complex when Charles stopped him. "what are you doing!"
"It's okay, I'll be invisible, not afraid! They can't see us." Touba patted his chest and took out the crumpled cross again.
Charles couldn't let him mess around. It was just an ordinary pirate before, and this is obviously an important place on the island, and he is completely gambled to go in this way.
But Fantuba made a slight mistake, and Charles's entire mission was wiped out. He couldn't take risks in this place.
"Lily, let your friends explore the way." Charles said to the mouse on his shoulder.
Compared with bright humans, small mice are obviously suitable for lurking and probing. This is why Charles brought Lily over.
"Squeak~Squeak~" The black-brown mouse next to it jumped quickly for a while, and the four mice ran towards the buildings along the dark corners.
"Mr. Charles, don't worry, I have taught them a lot of things before, and I will definitely be able to make it clear this time."
With a solemn expression, Charles nodded. As long as he could figure out whether it was a fuel plant, their mission to the island would be completed.
As time passed, Charles, who was gradually anxious, took out his pocket watch to confirm the time from time to time. He had never felt that time was so long.
"Dude~EbookFREE.me~Should we visit here?" Richard controlled his eyes and turned to the huge circle next to him.
"Don't be okay, don't you have enough troubles, dear?" Charles squeezed this sentence from his teeth.
"How can I tell it to be okay? It's all broken and there is no roof. What is the danger? You see there are spider webs."
Charles remained unmoved, standing still looking at his pocket watch.
"It's boring for you. This kind of facility belongs to the Foundation. Go inside and see what's going on. They come down from the surface. What if there is any key information about the exit?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I don't want to quarrel with you at this time."
"Well, how about letting Lily's mouse in, or not to compromise? That's it."
