Chapter 416: Nameless Island (Last Month's Monthly Pass Supplement)
In this day and age, it is not surprising that ocean-going ships are lost.
The radio transceiver is damaged, as is the backup.
The ship entered an area of unknown magnetic field, and all the compasses failed.
This, combined with last night's drift, has pushed the ferry away from its normal course.
Even the most experienced captain, the Elder Fur Seal, has no way of knowing where he is in the sea, let alone sending a message for help.
In this case, it is actually very dangerous.
If the ship's engine is damaged, there is no island to be replenished. Even those who possess supernatural abilities may be trapped alive.
At this time, when the captain announced the news of the ship's loss, the restaurant suddenly fell silent.
Several of the ladies covered their faces and sobbed lowly.
The men looked solemn and thought of some bad legends, such as the Famine Games, the Ghost Cruise, and so on.
There were only a few children, not knowing what was going on, and their big eyes were sparkling, looking at the adults with doubt.
……
"That's a ......"
Videli was also stunned, grabbing her camera, but she had no interest in taking pictures.
In fact, Fang Xian felt that if she could take a series of photos of everyone's expressions at this time, she would not be able to win an award or something.
"Don't worry, we may not have stray too far from the main channel......," Eric reassured, "When the port discovers that the Blue Heart is missing, a search and rescue will be organized." ”
"Hopefully ......"
Videli's eyes were a little distracted: "I'm sorry...... I want to go back and be quiet. ”
Bad news one after another.
After the occasional bout, the sky becomes overcast again, and it is not for nothing that the old fur seals angrily scold the sea for being a moody bitch.
"Look, there's an island."
Suddenly, cheers came from the deck.
A group of men hurriedly ran to the deck, and looked not far away, they could clearly see a small island, and there seemed to be some vegetation on it, and they couldn't help but cheer and fly their hats into the air.
There is vegetation on the island, which means that there may be fresh water resources, and with this, you can hold out for a long time and wait for rescue.
After lowering the boat and surveying the hydrological environment near the island, the captain announced that the ship would dock at the nameless island to shelter from the impending storm.
In addition, some gentlemen were invited to volunteer to sign up to explore and collect resources on the island.
'Stupid decision. ’
Fang Xian looked at the island, and suddenly felt that it was like a trap that had been laid out a long time ago.
The oppressive clouds behind seem to turn into black hounds, driving their prey into their pockets.
It's just that he didn't remind him.
Whatever they say now, people won't believe that they have taken that island as their only hope.
"Roca, I think we should talk."
At this time, Eric came to Fang Xian's side, uncovered his coat, and revealed a secret keeper badge inside.
'Order of the Silencer? ’
Fang Xian looked at the golden badge with some curiosity.
This is the highest honor a rookie investigator can receive, and even he can only get a silver one.
"I'm from Bolong City...... Something is wrong here, I was on the deck, and I saw blood...... The crew was nervous, and some of them were missing...... But most people speculate that the unlucky guy was swept into the sea by the waves last night, and the blood on the deck was the result of his own bruises......"
Eric said solemnly.
"With last night's storm, thrown into the sea, the chances of survival are almost zero." Fang Xian made a classic detective pose, and said with his left hand on his chin.
"No, it wasn't an accident at all, it was an attack!"
Eric said in a deep voice: "I suspect that it is a supernatural creature in the sea, and there may be danger on that island. ”
"But...... We can't help it. Fang Xian shrugged his shoulders: "Why don't you try to convince this group of people." ”
"It didn't work." Eric smiled bitterly: "They believe more in the guns in their hands, jokingly saying that even if there is a sea monster, the firepower in their hands is enough to deal with it." ”
"Didn't you try to hypnotize the captain or the first mate or something?" Fang Xian asked curiously.
"Ahem...... What do you think hypnosis is? Supernatural powers? No...... It's just a medical treatment, it doesn't have the power to deceive people with a glance at me, it needs the cooperation of the target, it needs a quiet environment...... And even if I could, the code of the Keeper wouldn't allow me to do so. Eric replied sternly.
"Okay...... So what are you looking for me to do? ”
Fang Xian had a deep understanding of the stubbornness of the Secret Keepers.
"When people explore the island, there may be danger, and I've signed up, but there are too many teams, and I need help."
Eric looked at Fang Xian very sincerely.
"Yes, I'm interested in that island as well."
Fang Xian smiled and agreed.
……
A few hours later, the ship dropped anchor near the island.
Several lifeboats were lowered, each led by a seafarer, and rushed to the beach.
Fang Xian was arranged in a lifeboat, a total of six people, and amazingly, Vidali also signed up and got permission, and was clutching the camera in her hand tightly.
Seeing Fang Xian's glance at her, she smiled reluctantly: "After thinking about it, I recognize the reality, if this is the end of my life's journey, at least I want to leave something interesting." ”
"Ma'am, please trust our professionalism, and it!"
The leading seaman spoke irritably, pointing to his double-barreled shotgun.
"Of course, Roger Sailor, I have great confidence in your abilities, and I believe that you will be able to bring us water and food and give us hope......
Fang Xian smiled as he paddled hard.
When they were about to reach the beach, the group got off the lifeboat, stepped on knee-high water, and dragged the lifeboat to the beach.
"Nice environment."
Roger looked at some pitch-black vegetation not far away and whistled: "If the storm comes tonight, I'd rather spend the night here than ...... on the boat"
Fang Xian glanced around.
The pitch-black reef seems to form all kinds of strange shapes, like some hideous sculptures, polished works of art!
"Huh?"
Videli was looking for a suitable photo spot, and after rounding a reef, she suddenly screamed: "Look! ”
Fang Xian turned to the other side of the reef and saw a white mural trace on the black reef.
"Here...... It's great that there are traces of human existence. ”
A passenger cheered.
"It's true that there are natives, but they don't necessarily mean safety, hehe......" Roger laughed weirdly and turned on the insurance of the shotgun: "I hope they are not cannibals, and they will not entertain us warmly with quenched blow arrows!" ”
