Chapter 188: Mountain island

After two whirlpool crises, Charles did not dare to be careless. Not only did he keep the bats in the sky, but also let the sailors test the speed of the ship.
　　
　　 Even though Charles was so vigilant, the Narwhal was still in danger several times.
　　
　　 This sea area is full of magical vortices. No one knows what the law of their appearance is, and when they will pop out.
　　
　　 Fortunately, they are not far from the island.
　　
　　 Charles in his sleep, the eyeballs under the closed eyelids moved quickly. He was dreaming. Judging from his frowning expression, this dream was not a good dream.
　　
　　 Suddenly there was an exclamation sound next to him, and Charles opened his eyes instantly. He quickly jumped off the hammock and rushed towards Dip, who was at the helm next to him, "What's the matter? There is another whirlpool?"
　　
　　 "Captain, I don’t see clearly, is that an island?"
　　
　　 Charles narrowed his eyes slightly and looked to the farthest of the searchlight over there.
　　
　　 It's not like an island, it's more like a huge lotus leaf stuck on the water. "Looks like an artificial building..."
　　
　　 Charles turned to look at the chart next to him, and found that his target island was almost time to arrive.
　　
　　 After letting the bats patrol around to make sure that there is no danger, Charles drove the Narwhal and slowly approached.
　　
　　 Charles found that this thing seemed to be made of concrete, and it was not clear from a distance. Looking closer, he found that the thing was hundreds of meters high. The Narwhal sailed past it, feeling full of pressure.
　　
　　 Such a huge thing, it’s not much easier to just build it than to build an island.
　　
　　 "Captain, there is another one over there." Hearing Dip's voice, Charles looked in the direction of his fingers.
　　
　　The ability of night vision allowed Charles to see that huge concrete buildings were also erected on the left side of the sea. If he guessed correctly, there were similar buildings in other places.
　　
　　 "Are these things used to prevent those whirlpools?" A thought flashed through Charles's mind.
　　
　　 Under Charles's doubts, the Narwhal left these things and continued on.
　　
　　 With the reminder of those things in front, Charles was not surprised when he saw a new island appear under the searchlight.
　　
　　As the Narwhal circled the islands, Charles got preliminary information about these islands.
　　
　　 This is a round island with no plants or animals on it, and the ground seems to be very flat.
　　
　　 Except for some buildings, there is a lonely towering mountain.
　　
　　 There are already few peaks on the islands, and such high peaks are even rarer.
　　
　　 After throwing fish meat and no response, letting bats and mice explore the way is still all normal, and then it is time to get off the boat.
　　
Looking at the crew members who were ready, Charles opened his mouth and said to them: "Before disembarking the ship, I will say one thing first. If you find any recorded text on the island, you must not open it. I must wait until I read it. This matter is very important. Everyone must remember."
　　
　　 The crew looked at each other a few times, not knowing why the captain announced this rule.
　　
　　, "Is it... with... the Pope... the reason..." the bandage asked slowly.
　　
　　 Charles looked at him with a complicated expression and didn't say a word. With a wave of his hand, the sailor beside him began to put down the wooden boat.
　　
　　 The crew, ready to go, slowly drew ashore. Facing the strange island, everyone held their breath and looked around with a flashlight vigilantly.
　　
　　The first thing they explored is the building complex located on the coast. Compared with the buildings on other islands, the builders here prefer to use reinforced concrete. Although it is very strong, it is more of a fortress than a house.
　　
　　 "Lily, send the rats out to guard, and let them warn them as soon as possible in any situation."
　　
　　 "Yeah." Lily nodded, she raised her head and squeaked twice, and the rats around her quickly fanned out.
　　
　　 Charles took the lead in rushing into a fortress, but he quickly came out, the inside was so empty, there was not even a corpse.
　　
　　 After searching for houses, Charles found nothing. Unlike the chaos in other places, the people here seemed to leave calmly after packing their luggage.
　　
　　 Charles doesn't know if this is good news or bad news.
　　
　　 They cleaned up so cleanly, which proves that the probability of clues here is very low, but it also proves that the island should not be dangerous.
　　
　　The building complex is very large. Charles took his crew to search for most of the day before completely searching. During the period, he did not encounter any danger or any living thing.
　　
　　 Charles ordered the crew to rest on the spot, and when they had enough rest, they would continue searching.
　　
　　 The bonfire rose, and the short fat people worked diligently to roast the tins.
　　
　　 That is the new chef of the Narwhal to fill the vacancy that Frey left.
　　
　　 "Director Deep, this is yours." He squinted his barely visible eyes, and brought the opened and hot canned meat to Deep.
　　
　　 "Are you blind? Didn't you see the captain here?" Dip hit his head with his hand.
　　
　　 The chef nodded repeatedly and brought the canned food in his hand to Charles again.
　　
　　 did not pick up his can, Charles directly inserted his prosthetic into the fire, took out a box of dark cans, knocked it open with a black blade, and ate it directly.
　　
　　 "Others don't need to post if they have hands. There is no director or minister of agriculture here. Do your own thing."
　　
　　 "Yes, yes." The chef nodded in a jealousy.
　　
　　 Seeing him timidly, Charles suddenly missed the thin bamboo pole Frey. Sometimes the companions did not just talk about it, but the tacit understanding between each other. Unfortunately, a lot has changed in three years.
　　
　　 The sound of swallowing by the campfire and the sound of chewing one after another. When Charles was halfway through the meal, he stopped and continued to eat after tapping his forehead with his hand.
　　
　　 "What? I heard the auditory hallucination again?" The doctor asked without a word.
　　
　　 Feeling the peristaltic sensation in his brain, Charles opened his mouth and replied: "It's just a little bit, I can bear it."
　　
　　 "Did you go to another doctor with me behind your back? According to your situation, you should have died long ago."
　　
　　 "Well, her method is very special. I heard that it can't be maintained for too long and there is follow-up treatment."
　　
　　 "Interesting, I have time to accept her to my acquaintance, I really want to know how she did it."
　　
　　 "Yeah." Charles picked up a slice of bread and stuck the last bit of gravy out of the tin.
　　
　　 "Squeak-squeak -!!" The mouse's scream suddenly sounded from the left~EbookFREE.me~ Charles immediately dropped the can and stood up.
　　
　　 Lily, who was eating dried bananas next to him, swallowed the contents of her cheek, "Mr. Charles, it's okay, they just found a dead body."
　　
　　 "The corpse? Go over and take a look." Charles rushed towards the voice.
　　
　　 Soon the corpse in Lily's mouth appeared in front of Charles. It was more accurate to say that the corpse was actually described as a skeleton. It was a skeleton with most of its body buried in the soil.
　　
　　 Picked up the bones and checked them quickly, Charles found that the whole skeleton was nothing unusual except for one of his big golden teeth.
　　
　　 "People of the Foundation? Will people of the Foundation have gold teeth?"
　　
　　 "Captain, look at this guy's pelvis. He is a man. And his leg was broken." Dip said, squatting on the ground.
　　
　　 Charles glanced at him unexpectedly, "Do you still know this?"
　　
　　Deep smiled embarrassedly. "In this position, you have to learn something if you don't want to be tricked by others."
　　
　　 "Let's go, it's just a corpse. Let's continue to set off." As the light of the flashlight in Charles and others left, the corpse plunged into darkness again.
　　
　　 When he was a child, Charles' body suddenly appeared next to it. He took the transparent ring off his finger, put his hand into his clothes and scratched it. "It didn't move, it looks like it's really just an ordinary corpse."
