Fortunately, the reef wasn't too far from where they were.

Now it is at the stage of low tide, so Gu Xiaole and Ning Lei only need to drip through the knee-deep sea water to reach the reef where there is a boat.

As they approached, the ship became clearer and clearer,

The hull, which had long been unpainted, showed yellowish rust, and even the various facilities on the hull deck looked dilapidated.

Gu Xiaole came to the bottom of the boat and took a look, the hull of the boat was already covered with barnacles, oysters and other aquatic small animals.

It took him a long time to find a gangway that could climb down to the hull.

It's just that these iron ladders have been completely oxidized by soaking in seawater.

Gu Xiaole grabbed it casually and broke into two with a "click",

But he was not discouraged, and took out the bundle of vine and vine that he had brought with him, and touched a fist-sized stone in the sea and tied it to the top.

Shook it in his hand a few times, and flew the rope directly to the hull of the boat.

There was a "bell" sound, and the rope caught the guardrail on the edge of the hull.

After several consecutive rotations of the stone, the rope was firmly attached to the guardrail of the hull.

Gu Xiaole pulled hard, feeling that it was quite sturdy, and looked back at Ning Lei, who was completely confused by his own operation:

"Why don't you wait for me down there now? I'm afraid you'll be scared if you go up. ”

Ning Lei looked at the hull covered in rust, and thought about the terrible legend of the ghost ship,

Still shook his head firmly and said: "No, I think it's more dangerous for me to stay below, what if there are really some ghost sailors, they don't dare to touch you when they see that your physical fitness is so good, and turn around and bully me as a girl?"

I think it's better to follow you. ”

Gu Xiaole smiled when he heard this:

"Forget it, my Miss Ning, I know that your judo skills are good, and that back pocket can choke that Xiaoli enough!

However, if you really want to go up, then let's go to the boat together. ”

So the two of them grabbed the rope fixed by Gu Xiaole one after the other and climbed to the boat little by little.

Just as Gu Xiaole predicted in advance, the deck of the hull was also a desolate and dilapidated scene.

Most of the facilities have been dilapidated to the point of being unusable due to the lack of use and maintenance for a long time.

Gu Xiaole walked around the deck and didn't see anything valuable, let alone any signs of a living person.

Then they came to the door of the ship's wheelhouse, and when they looked inside, it was empty.

In addition to the rust, there is only a thick layer of dust left on the bridge,

Some of the electronic equipment in the cockpit of the ship has long been out of working order.

Gu Xiaole sighed, and said in his heart that he originally hoped to rely on the radio of this broken ship to communicate with the outside world?

After searching for a while, Gu Xiaole shook his head and said to Ning Lei behind him:

"It seems that there is nothing of value left on this ship, and as for the people on board, they may have entered the interior of the island,

Or maybe they escaped in a lifeboat, and I suspect there were other people on this boat?"

Gu Xiaole's words made Ning Lei stunned,

"What did you say? Anyone else has visited?

How can you be so sure?"

Gu Xiaole said with a solemn face:

"You see there's almost nothing left on this ship that is useful to us.

It's okay to say something else, I just watched it, and there was not even any fuel left on the ship.

This must not have been taken by the sailors who were on the original ship!"

"Then, who could have taken it? Could it be the aborigines of the island?"

"But after all this time, do you see any signs of human activity on this island, who will take these things?"

"Unlikely to be from the island. Gu Xiaole shook his head.

"If it's not from the island, who else can take it?" Ning Lei didn't understand.

"I suspect that there are only two kinds of people, fishermen who go out to fish,

And then there's the pirates who operate on the seas! And it's more likely!"

Gu Xiaole's answer made Ning Lei shudder a little,

"You, what are you talking about? What age is this, do you think it's the age of the Great Voyage?

What other pirates? Did they come on the Flying Dutchman?

Cut, I don't believe it!"

Gu Xiaole smiled slightly:

"Pirates have always existed, but now there are really few pirates in Europe and America,

But now we are in the Indian Ocean between Asia and Africa, and there are a lot of terrorist pirates here!

Actually, I didn't say it, my inner fear was that we didn't wait for the rescue team on the beach, but waited for the pirates first!"

"The discovery on this ship this time proves my previous thoughts,

Or maybe the ship itself was a ship that had been robbed by pirates and fled here to run aground. ”

With Gu Xiaole's description, Ning Lei seemed to have seen the back of the small boat being chased by several pirate speedboats.

The panicked boat hit the reef headlong and ran aground, and the sailors on board abandoned the boat and jumped directly into the water.

And the pirates who arrived later stood on the speedboat with AK47s in their hands and kept shooting the sailors in the water, and the sea water was instantly stained red with blood.

More than a dozen corpses floated on the surface of the sea and were quickly devoured by sharks.

"Stop, stop, stop!

What you're saying is just your imagination, maybe it's a shipwrecked sailor and a well-meaning fisherman.

But the fishing boats were too small to tow their boats out of the reef, so they moved all the supplies they could use on the boats.

Then I sat on the kind uncle's fishing boat, drank wine and ate yusheng, and returned to land happily!"

Ning Lei desperately wiped out the terrible imaginations in her head and said the imaginations that comforted her.

Gu Xiaole didn't raise the bar, but just pointed to the cockpit of the ship casually:

"Kind fisherman uncle? hehe, what do you think this is?"

Ning Lei took a closer look, although it was already somewhat covered by rust,

However, it can still be seen that there are many round holes in the shells of these iron sheets.

"W-what is this?"

"What? This is the bullet hole of a bullet! Where would a kind uncle shoot at someone's boat to help people!" Gu Xiaole smiled coldly.

"So are there really pirates, and aren't we in danger now?" Ning Lei took a step back, clenched the spear in her hand, and said.

"It's hard to say, after all, this ship has been wrecked for decades, and the wave of pirates back then is estimated to have already been buried in the ground, but I don't know if there are still pirates here.

But it's better to be careful, and when we go back in a while, we'll let Lin Rui and Lin Jiao and the two of them quickly pack up their things.

We're moving tonight!"

Gu Xiaole's words made Ning Lei a little stunned:

"Isn't it? Move at night? Even if there is a threat of pirates,

We don't have to be in such a hurry, are we? Isn't it a bit too hasty to move on the big night?"

In this regard, Gu Xiaole shook his head and said:

"I didn't say let's move at night because of the potential pirate threat, but because I always felt like it wasn't a good idea to be too close to my company's camp!"
