Chapter 123: Entering Skull Island
Looking at Professor Charles with a determined face, Grandpa Gary sighed lightly.
"Have you already decided?"
"Yes, we've decided, please take us to Skull Island." Professor Charles said without hesitation.
"You saved my only relative, and I really don't want to watch you die." Grandpa Gary persuaded again.
"Sir, don't worry, we'll be fine." Zhao Qi said on the side.
"Okay, I'll take you there, but I can only take you to the outskirts of Skull Island, I won't go up with you, forgive me, little Gary only has me as a relative, I have to take good care of him." Grandpa Gary said guiltily.
"The old gentleman can take us to Skull Island, it's already benevolent." Zhao Qi glanced at little Gary and said.
"Okay then." Grandpa Gary nodded, and stood up with his cane.
"Then let's go now, we have a yacht." Professor Charles said.
According to Grandpa Gary, this Skull Island is not close to Mauritius, and even a yacht ride takes about two days and two nights.
The group then began to get busy before they set off, first filling up the yacht with fuel, and then replenishing the food and fresh water that had already been consumed.
When all this was done, the group set off with Grandpa Gary.
When Grandpa Gary was helped onto the yacht by Zhao Qi, little Gary on the side also had to go with his grandfather, but Grandpa Gary would not let his only little grandson take risks no matter what, and in the end he could only entrust little Gary to Xie Changchang.
Watching the cruise ship leave, Xie Changchang left the dock in Mauritius with little Gary, but only an hour after they left. Another yacht also appeared at the dock.
Batu looked at the dock in front of him, and the hatred in his heart gradually came out, and he turned his head to the people in the cabin and called, "Where are they now?" ”
"Lord Batuu, this is where the satellite showed an hour ago." Said the man under the cabin.
"Then why didn't you see them?" Batu asked with a gloomy face.
"Lord Batuu. They should have left. The satellite signal comes every two hours, so now we don't know where they are. ”
"Now you go ashore to replenish the food and fresh water, and by the way, check it well, I guess they are still on the island and have not left, this time I must catch them." Batu's eyes revealed bitter hatred, and his hands clenched unconsciously.
Grandpa Gary is worthy of being a man who has lived at sea all his life, and although he doesn't go to sea often now, he can still tell the direction in the face of endless returns. Quake, at Gary's grandfather's behest, kept driving in one direction.
After sailing for two days and two nights, we finally arrived at Skull Island.
The appearance of Skull Island was exactly the same as what Zhao Qi had seen before.
From a distance. It was as if a large skull was standing on the surface of the sea, and everything was black as far as the eye could see, and even the sea water next to it seemed to be shrouded in a black gas, which was a little oozing just by looking at it.
"This is Skull Island?" David stepped out of the cabin and looked ahead.
"This ...... It's Skull Island. Grandpa Gary looked at the island in front of him with a serious expression, as if he remembered the previous bits and pieces.
"Alright, Skull Island has arrived, I'm going back now." Grandpa Gary said as he looked at Professor Charles.
"Old sir. Thank you so much. Professor Charles was also very happy at this time, and said heartily to Gary's grandfather.
"I hope you survive." Grandpa Gary said lightly, and the melancholy in his words made everyone's hearts tighten.
Taking out the spare kayak in the yacht, Zhao Qi asked.
"Old sir. It takes at least two days and two nights to get back to Mauritius from here, and the kayak speed is too slow, it takes at least four or five days, can you go it alone? ”
"Don't worry. Although I am missing a leg, this distance is still no problem, rather than caring about my old bones. It's better for yourselves. Grandpa Gary smiled nonchalantly, grabbed some food and fresh water, and left alone in a kayak.
"Let's go too, shall we?" Grandpa Gary's kayak gradually disappeared from everyone's eyes. David said with great interest, and it seemed that Grandpa Gary's previous words had no effect on him.
"We're going to prepare food for a few more days, because we don't know anything about the island." Professor Charles said.
Due to the large number of reefs on the outskirts of Skull Island, the people did not sail the yacht anymore, but used kayaks to move forward.
The area of the kayak is not very large, and it seems a little crowded for eight people to sit on it, but there are only two kayaks on the boat, one of which is given to Grandpa Gary, so everyone can only settle for it.
After bringing food and fresh water for several days, everyone was fully armed, and the boat was rowed by Quake, and the group slowly approached Skull Island.
As the kayak slowly approached, everyone only felt that the temperature around them was slowly decreasing, and they involuntarily tightened their clothes. And Zhao Qi on the side also frowned deeply, because in his perception, the island no longer exudes a huge dead aura all the time, as if the island in front of him is a mass grave.
"You have to be careful, I feel very uneasy about this." It seems that Quake also senses that something is wrong, and is seriously explaining to everyone.
Carefully dodging the reef on Skull Island, everyone slowly entered through the mouth of the big skull.
"It feels so weird to walk through this guy's mouth." David didn't dare to be serious anymore at this time, and said dryly.
After entering the skeleton's mouth, the kayak slowly landed, and the eight people stepped out of the kayak and stepped on land. And at this moment, the surrounding wind was fierce, and a shocking roar came from the island.
Everyone was taken aback, and kept their original movements and did not dare to move at all.
After a while, the wind stopped, the roar died down, and the surroundings were calm again.
"This ...... What's going on? Quake, who was at the end, said in surprise.
"I don't know." Zhao Qi shook his head.
"Alright, everybody, be careful." Although Professor Charles was not very happy at this time, as the head of the delegation, he quickly calmed down.
After pulling the kayak over the shore and tying it to a rock, the group continued walking.
The visibility of Skull Island was very low, and everyone took out their flashlights, but these black stones seemed to be able to absorb the light, absorbing all the light of the flashlights, making it more difficult for everyone to walk.
"Sky Eye!" Zhao Qi spread out the Heavenly Eye, and there was a bright light in front of him, and Zhao Qi suddenly found that these black stones in front of him, or all the objects on this island, were shrouded in a dense layer of dead air.
Zhao Qi took the lead, followed by the others, while Quake was left behind to guard the rear, and a group of eight people slowly walked out of this dark place.
After slowly walking out of the hole, everyone finally saw the light again, although it was still very dim, but the visibility was much better than before.
It was a vast plain, but it lacked the most common vegetation found in the plains, and there was nothing on the bare black earth. It's as if the place had just been hit by a fire, and everything was burned.
"The soil here is weird." Professor Bonnie said, grabbing a lump of soil beside him.
"What's wrong?" Professor Duncan asked.
"The structure of the soil has been completely destroyed, and to be honest, I've seen a lot of black soil, but this is the first time I've seen black soil like this." As she spoke, Professor Bonnie took out a small bottle from her backpack and picked up some soil from the ground and filled it in.
"Research it when you go back, maybe there will be some surprises." After closing the cap, Professor Bonnie said with a smile.
"Hey, come and see what I've found?" At this moment, David's voice suddenly came from ahead. The crowd looked forward and saw that David was poking an unknown object with an iron rod that he had used to defend himself.
When everyone walked in, it was the bones of an animal.
The animal's bones were not large, probably only about twenty or thirty centimeters in size, and Professor Charles looked at it and determined that it was the bones of a rabbit.
"Look at the time of this rabbit's death, what the hell is going on?" Professor Charles asked strangely, rummaging through the carcass of the rabbit.
Logically speaking, there is no vegetation here, which means that it cannot form an ecological balance, and it is completely unsuitable for the habitation and survival of living creatures, but judging from the degree of decay of this rabbit's bones, it is clear that it has just been dead for a long time, which is why it makes people feel so wrong.
Just in his doubts, Professor Charles suddenly felt that the rabbit in front of him seemed to move, and Professor Charles thought that his eyes were spent, and he was about to check it again.
As if it had come to life, the rabbit in front of him instantly turned over and stood up from the ground, and then stepped back and kicked the ground strongly, and pounced in front of Professor Charles.
"Ahh Seeing the inhuman scene, Lily snorted in fright.
The bony rabbit slowly enlarged in front of Professor Charles, and was about to pounce on his face when it was kicked away.
"Professor Charles, are you alright?" The kick just now was kicked by Zhao Qi.
"I'm fine." Professor Charles, who had palpitations, touched his beating heart and said.
After the rabbit was kicked away by Zhao Qi, it turned over in the air and stood on the ground again, and the white teeth in his mouth lit up, making everyone take a step back. (To be continued......)
