The storm swept across the sea for three days and three nights, and when everything became calm, Xu Duheng led people back to Qingping Town.

Everywhere you look, there is a desolation, even the trees and plants in this place have withered, and there is not a single living thing left, and the town of Nuoda has become an empty city in the midst of the storm.

Xu Duheng led people to continue to investigate, there was no trace of anyone living here, there was no one, it was like it had been barren for a long time, and the group came to the county office, which was still clean, but all the plants here were exhausted and died.

Xu Duheng frowned and looked at Xu Shiyi, "Why did she let us evacuate at that time, did she explain to you and what she found?" ”

Xu Shiyi shook his head regretfully, "At that time, the situation was urgent, everything was according to Madame's arrangement, and I didn't delay for a moment." ”

Xu Duheng rubbed his eyebrows, turned around and explained to Situ Wen: "The people who arranged for you are ready to go to sea now." ”

Situ Wen looked at the gradually clearer sky outside, and nodded slowly, "It's been arranged, just waiting for your words." ”

Xu Duheng flicked his sleeves, "A few of you come with me, and the rest of you will guard Qingping Town." ”

Xu Duheng is not even worried about such a thing, although Qingping Town is sparsely populated, there are also 100 households, how can it disappear overnight without leaving even a trace.

The decay here is like some famine a few decades ago, and the wasted deterioration raised his eyes to look at the haunting white mist in the sky, and pursed the corners of his mouth slightly.

The sea is calm, there is no wind and waves, as it seems, there is really no danger, but even so, Xu Duheng is still very uncomfortable in his heart, he is very uneasy, looking at the island that can be seen from afar on the sea.

It's so quiet, so peaceful, it's not like the pirate residence you imagined it to be.

Suddenly, the sun burst into the sky, and all the light shone in the direction of the island, vaguely as if to blow away all the fog, revealing the sleeping peaks there.

Xu Duheng looked into the distance and explained below: "Arrange it, increase vigilance, explore the surrounding seas, and this time we will wipe out all the pirates here." ”

Xu Shiyi received the order, turned around and explained.

But Xu Duheng's eyes still didn't take his eyes off the island, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

There was no light there, it was the clear light that illuminated everything, not even the birds and beasts flew up, and it was as quiet as the Qingping Town that I had just seen, like a dead city.

Xu Duheng's eyes were dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking, the people below had already arranged it in full swing, and many people here had a lot of resentment towards the pirates.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, it would be a wonderful thing if all the scourges here could really be eliminated, but the more I thought about it, the more complicated everyone's feelings became.

An emotion that has been silent for many years is arranged on the bright side.

Slowly seeing the outline of the island, Xu Duheng waved his hand, "Xu Shiyi, wait for you to lead the way." ”

Xu Shiyi hesitated, "Then are we going to go ashore from the front?" ”

Xu Duheng observed the situation on the island and nodded slightly, "Yes." ”

Xu Shiyi nodded, picked up the knife, and directly led a small group of people towards the coast.

They were ahead of Xu Duheng's big boat, and a group of people sat in a small boat and went in that direction, waiting until the signal came from there, and Xu Duheng said here: "Prepare to surround!" ”

Everyone received the order, and there was a surging shout, "Yes! ”

Xu Duheng took the rest of the people and began to walk towards the main gate, but as soon as he got off the boat, he saw Xu Shiyi and others whispering outside the door.

Xu Duheng's heart jumped, and he said, "What's the matter." ”

Xu Duheng followed Xu Shiyi's gaze, and found that there was not even a guard outside the door here, and the lush island was quiet, and there were still a lot of messy weapons discarded outside the gate.

They walked slowly inside, and actually saw some clothes scattered on the ground, all of them were complete clothes, and they looked very strange.

Xu Duheng looked at the silence in the village and gritted his teeth fiercely, "It's late." ”

He waved his hand, "Stay safe, go and search to see if there's anything alive." ”

Xu Duheng raised his head slightly, looking left and right, except for those plants with extraordinarily vigorous vitality, there seemed to be nothing alive here.

But it looks too weird, why are the plants here so big, even the leaves are so big, and from the moment they first came in, Xu Duheng felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and the depressed feeling was like being stared at by many pairs of eyes, which made people feel a little hairy.

The crowd dispersed, because there were many people with them, and the speed of the investigation was also very fast, and sure enough, just as he had guessed, there was not even a living thing here, and all the people disappeared.

And depending on the situation, all the people here disappeared in a hurry, because they found that there was still shochu in the stove, and there was some messy footsteps, and there was a small card stand outside the window.

Just as Xu Duheng walked towards the position of the main hall, his forehead began to ache a little, and his eyes were unconsciously attracted by the giant tree on the mountain in the distance.

Just as he was faintly sinking into it, suddenly Xu Shiyi's shout pulled Xu Duheng's thoughts back.

"Childe, the boats over there are still there, and the people have disappeared out of thin air."

Xu Duheng frowned, and couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, "Are you sure?" ”

Xu Shiyi nodded seriously, "What I saw when I left, there was a big ship and three small ones, all of which didn't move, just in place." ”

Xu Duheng waved his hand, "A comprehensive investigation, you can't let go of any clues, Qingdai will definitely not have an accident." ”

Just behind them, a vine slowly crossed over, Xu Duheng seemed to think of something, turned around suddenly, but saw nothing.

He turned around and asked Xu Shiyi, "Have you seen anything passing?" ”

Xu Shiyi turned around and looked, and could only see those leaves that were driven by the breeze.

"Nothing."

Xu Duheng shook his head, "Let them check below, let's go up and take a look." ”

Xu Duheng pointed to the giant tree, and Xu Shiyi also followed Xu Duheng's steps and walked behind.

The two of them didn't say much, and Xu Duheng didn't distrust Xu Shiyi, but the whole thing seemed too coincidental, how could there be such a coincidence.

But thinking about it in another direction, Xu Shiyi didn't have any reason to betray.

He has a grudge against the pirates here, and it is not something that can be solved by casual talk, on the other hand, Xu Shiyi has no chance to communicate with this side.
