Chapter 405: A Novel Experience

A mysterious fog appeared ahead of the fleet.

The captains of the merchant ships discussed for a long time, but they could not decide whether to break in, go around or go back.

There was no result here, and suddenly a telegram came from the front saying that David's frigate Ace had entered the fog and disappeared.

Not only was the frigate nowhere to be seen on the sea, and the telegrams sent from the past were lost in the sea, but the frigate in front also reported that the closer they got to the fog, the more strange noises came from the radio on the ship.

This almost scared the captains.

Even the old captain of Syruf had the idea of going home.

Soon, however, the frigate Ace emerged from the fog, indicating that the personnel were safe.

David submitted a report.

The source of the fog is unknown.

On the surface, the fog is overlapping, as if you will lose your fingers after entering.

But after the Ace frigate entered, it could always see a distance of tens of meters ahead, and the sea fog was not thick or light, but it would not disappear.

But to be honest, David also said that because the fog obscured the sun, the atmosphere in it was relatively gloomy, and it was easy to lose course, and the Ace almost didn't find a way out.

That's because he didn't go too far.

What is certain is that this layer of fog should not have been created by the deep-sea fleet, and David's humanoid radar did not feel the danger inside.

Some people believe David's words, of course, some people don't believe it, listening to what he said is so weird, everyone is more willing to return.

Among those who believed was Captain Syrouf.

The old captain was again the nominal head of the fleet.

Cautious and curious, the merchant fleet stumbled beyond the fog.

Sure enough, as Captain Kuya said, the mysterious sea fog seemed to be confined to the sea, and the wind could not blow and did not spread outward.

When I looked at it from a distance, I felt that this side was like a wall of clouds rising abruptly from the sea, but now when I look closely, I feel that it is just that the fog is not so thick and dense.

Standing under the "wall" and looking up, you can still see the blue sky through the weapon.

The merchant fleet lingered in front of the cloud wall for hours without seeing the fog engulf the fleet, which reassured many of the crew.

However, it was disrupted by such a mess of the itinerary, and the crew and captain were the first time they encountered such a strange sight that seemed not dangerous but wasted a lot of time.

By the time the flotilla had calmed down, it was getting dark.

Spending the night at sea is dangerous!

Azure Star is either a deep-sea fleet going out or an underwater sea beast attack, and the number of people who die at sea every year has always been astronomical.

In the past, when it was night, merchant ships generally found a small island, reef or something close to the island and stopped.

As soon as there is a deep sea or sea, run to the island.

If you can't find a nearby island, find a place in water that looks safe.

Not to mention the dangerous zone of the Avalon Sea, which is a principled naval defense line, once the town guards or the inland sea reach the night, even the pleasure boats have to rush back to the port.

Accidents at night are more of a threat from sea beasts.

In the early days of Avalon's establishment, sea beasts came to the land every day to beat the war girls.

Missing the opportunity to drop anchor, the old captain of Seluff finally ordered the fleet to hide in the fog, but not too deep, and use the fog to prevent the fleet from being discovered by the deep sea.

Moreover, one of the advantages of the fleet hiding in the fog is that the ship can be lit, and the thick fog can block the lights without causing trouble.

Of course, the old captain also made a series of preparations before entering the fog.

Gather the fleet.

Each ship was also fixed together by a cable.

The possibility of an attack was also deliberately considered, and the cable was tied with a live buckle and so on.

It's a bit of a danger worth taking to relax rather than having the crew eat a hot brag after a nervous break.

As for whether the old captain's order is correct or not, we will say again.

After entering the fog, as David said, the sky suddenly darkened, and the atmosphere around him seemed tense and eerie.

Through the thick fog, the surrounding cargo ships are like legendary ghost ships, and even the sound of the waves seems to be covered by the thick fog, and the waves are still calm.

However, because there has been no danger, the strange atmosphere has become a special experience for the crew.

However, the good mood did not last long.

As the sky gradually darkens, the Misty World is the first to enter the dark environment.

The world in the dark fog of the night is even more terrifying, and you can still look up and see the stars in the sky outside, looking down at the phosphorescence on the water, and here it is pitch black and you can't see anything.

When you look up, you don't see the sun, and when you look down, you can only see the darkness like an endless abyss.

No matter how daring the crew was, they didn't dare to look down from the deck.

It was good to have lights on board.

But in the fog, the light doesn't shine far.

Beyond the light, it was as if a black curtain was enveloping it, forming a substantial wall of darkness.

Everywhere it looks, it is a black hole, as if it can swallow people into it, and the faint-hearted people don't have the courage to hide in the cabin and stick their heads out to see.

The novelty passed, and the surroundings became more and more terrifying.

There are very few people who actually sleep with the quilt on their heads.

Many people are staring at the darkness, thinking that tomorrow they must get out of this terrible fog.

There weren't many people asleep, and the sudden noise in the middle of the night was the faster to alarm the crew.

Hydroacoustics.

The sound of rushing water.

And the low, terrifying howl of the behemoth.

The experienced crew knew that this was the movement of a deep-sea giant nearby, and the sound sounded close.

Nervous horror is inevitable, but it's still the same sentence, and it's just like that after it's fresh.

The sea was dark, and the fog shrouded your fingers.

The giant beasts of the deep sea that come out to forage at night are nearby.

But you can't see it, and it can't see you.

After the initial fear, the crew could even count the number of sea beasts that had appeared in the vicinity.

Anyway, everyone can't sleep, so let's chat, talk in a low voice, and the two ships can chat with each other when they are close to each other.

At this time, everyone knew the reason why the old captain of Syruf wanted to hide in the fog.

Because an army girl in Avalon said that the waters around Avalon are often infested with sea beasts.

In the past, it was usually daylight when the freighter came here, and a few hours before it reached a stronghold established by Avalon, which was protected by Avalon's garrison.

During the day, because too much time was wasted, the fleet might not be able to avoid the underwater monsters if they wanted to go back.

So Captain Seluff simply took a gamble and let the fleet hide in the fog.

It sounds like the old captain is taking everyone's lives in his hands as a gamble.

But this kind of thing is too common in the impression of the crew, and when they encounter something, the people above are used to hiding it from the people below so as not to cause panic.

If things go in the bad direction, of course, the crew will curse against the water or something, but if it is like this, the crew will only sing the praises of the leadership's clever calculations and possession of the sea god.

Look at the sky of the black hole, the surroundings of the black hole, the bottom of the black hole.

Listen to the roar of the beast on the left, the roar of the beast on the right, and the roar of the beast in front......

What a strange adventure!

Avalon is wonderful.

The night was spent peacefully with the neighing of the Endless Sea Beasts.

When I got up early and cleaned up, except for a few who were scared and a little nervous, no one died, no one was missing, and all the ships were not a lot.

As the sky brightened and the sun rose, the fleet that pierced through the fog took a breath of fresh air, and many crew members took the terrifying fog that looked terrifying yesterday as a shelter for the sea god, and all of them knelt down to worship.

In other words, Azure Star doesn't talk about science or gods and demons, it's about fairy technology and ship mothers!

In a word.

After the night, everyone's fear of the fog had dissipated considerably.

"Hey, let's take a look, there's an island in the sea."

The crew of a freighter saw a dark shadow in the vast fog, and shouted after carefully distinguishing it.

"Where?"

"Right there!"

"It looks like it's really an island!"

"Is that a tree or a lighthouse on the island?"

"How tall and thick is a tree, and it is not a lighthouse...... It's like a stone monument! ”

The observer's discovery was soon reported to the elder Captain Seluff.

However, the old captain looked through the previous nautical maps and found no reef island.

Boat travel is a battleship-class large-tonnage ship that must be carefully avoided when encountering a reef, and if there is a rising reef nearby, it means that there may be more.

Nautical charts indicate that this is supposed to be an open sea on the outskirts of Avalon.

Where did the island come from?

If you don't understand, send someone up and take a look.

David volunteered to organize a landing party to set foot on the strange island.

Live...... Alive!

Ah no.

It's floating!

This is not a reef at all.

Rather, it is a strange artificial island formed by matter that can float on the water.

There should be a fixed rope or pillar at the bottom to hold the whole island from being washed away by the waves, and the feeling of stepping on the island is very subtle.

The island is not large, about 100 square meters in size, and the whole island rises and falls with the waves.

There is no vegetation or reef on the island, except for a towering iron tower erected in the center of the island.

Iron skin on all sides.

There are several glowing words on each side.

Horizontal word: Capital of Avalon!

Left vertical letter: Fog of War.

Right vertical letter: There is a vicious dog inside.

Lower horizontal word: trespass of life and death.

……

"Well, what?"

On the sunny Avalon soil, Koji looked up in confusion.

In front of the Admiral, she had a lazy breath, and was more coquettish than ever, and Mrs. Lexington, the chief wife, curled her hair.

"That's it, didn't Avalon open the fog of war after Ellie set off with the expeditionary fleet." The wife played with her hair shyly, avoiding the Admiral's scrutiny.

"I know this, and then what?" Koji's face darkened.

"Then the fog of war widened a bit, and the interference particles affected our own communication system."

It just so happened that these two days should have been the time when Seluff sent a batch of building materials to Avalon.

Lord Admiral's mouth opened.

It was ordered by him himself.

But it was the wife herself who was responsible for carrying out this order.

Whoever opens the fog of war will toss themselves into it.

And don't think I don't know what Ellie wrote on the boundary monuments around Avalon.

I won't complain about your sentence "trespass in life and death", who thinks of the word "there is a vicious dog inside"?

It's a shame that the pink-haired little Xili can accept it.

It's a poi!

PS: Mmmm, don't forget to see if there are any tickets that haven't been lost, keep them for me, hahahaha.
