After getting off the boat, Lao Zhao counted the number of people and emphasized the division of labor that had already been done. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Our personnel are divided into four groups, the information team is responsible for monitoring and pathfinding with drones, and formulating combat plans according to the situation, the search and rescue team is responsible for searching for information related to the missing advance force, and the logistics team is responsible for the transportation and supply of supplies.

As the main force, our team has the final decision-making power, and of course, the primary purpose is to find the way to immortality according to the guidance on the copper scroll.

There are more than a dozen people in our group, me, Zhang Sanfeng, Lao Zhao, Ling Ling, Mo Zhanchen, Shen Yan, Scarface, Ji Liunian, Chu Junlin, Ouyang Hua, the foreign guy before, a strong man who is more than two meters tall, with muscles like a hill and a huge cross on his back, and then some elites under the major families.

We drove the off-road vehicle that drove down the boat, speeding down the mountain, chatting along the way, except for Ouyang Hua, everyone else was quite chatty, and the atmosphere was very harmonious, at least on the surface.

From the boat, it seemed that the shore was quite close to the mountain, but as the saying goes, "look at the mountain and run a dead horse", and our speed was not slow, but it took us a full hour to reach a forest at the foot of the mountain.

I watched the ground change from a sandy beach, to a rocky beach, then to a soft soil, and then to a clump of weeds, and I had the illusion of crossing many areas in a very short period of time.

The car could no longer drive inside, and the rest of the road had to be on foot.

After getting out of the car, carrying his equipment, and exchanging a few words with the members of the search and rescue team, he split up and plunged into the deep woods.

One thing that strikes me as strange and even ominous is that there is no special magnetic field on this island that does not affect communication with each other, but we do not receive any signal from the advance troops, and even if they are killed, this should not be the case, unless the signal transmitter is completely damaged.

But this is almost impossible, because the Mo family's signal device, which is a metal nameplate hanging around the neck, is waterproof and resistant to high temperatures, unless the mountain is actually a volcano and they collectively fell into the magma, this kind of thing will never happen.

This is a primeval forest, because no one has set foot for a long time, all kinds of plants grow wildly, it is difficult to find a place to stay, we can be said to be struggling, but fortunately we found the road opened by the advance force.

We immediately contacted the search and rescue team and asked them to rush this way, and then continued along the road of the advance force, and we walked extremely carefully on the next road, even Shen Yan and Zhang Sanfeng, who were like chatterbox, did not talk much.

Although the advance force is inferior to us in terms of equipment and comprehensive strength, it is not weak, and this road can make them annihilated, and it is possible for us to be annihilated.

It was getting dark again, and it seemed that time was passing very quickly and chaotically on this island, which reminded me of a survival game I played in high school called Fallout Island, but fortunately we didn't encounter any danger along the way.

But just walking in the woods also made us feel choked, this place is a bit like the Amazon rainforest, all kinds of poisonous insects and beasts are infested, and there are monkeys scurrying down from the trees to grab our hats.

The most terrifying thing is the kind of mosquitoes, the size of fists, moving in groups, "buzzing" like a helicopter, which can suck a person into a dry corpse in a few seconds, and mud puddles of different sizes, one foot pestle into it, when pulled out, the legs are full of fleshy insects, and they squirm to drill inside, although the team uniforms we wear can't get in, but just looking at it makes people's scalp numb and disgusting.

However, there are some magnificent scenes that can only be seen in movies and pictures, but Lao Zhao doesn't let us touch those things, generally speaking, the more beautiful things are, the more deadly.

For example, a tree frog the size of half a palm, colorful, cute, harmless to humans and animals, but that is its camouflage, this kind of thing is highly poisonous, as long as it touches it, it will paralyze the whole body, and in a very short period of time, the poison will festering and die.

Fortunately, Shen Yan applied us with their secret ointment, so those poisonous insects would not come to disturb us.

But I couldn't have imagined that this kid's identity in the team is a team doctor, and his medical skills are said to be very clever, which is really unseemly.

After an hour, we finally joined up with the search and rescue team and found traces of the advance team by a small lake.

It was scorched wood that had been hastily covered with dirt, and there were bones left over from eating, and it seemed that our advance troops did not make much of a stop in this place.

"Set up camp, rest in place, and continue to walk tomorrow," Lao Zhao said, we are all flesh and blood, even if we are well-trained, it is impossible not to rest day and night, and more importantly, there will be more terrible things at night, it is not safe to continue walking, and there is no need for that.

I looked at my phone, and then looked up at the moon in the sky, it was only four hours from landing on the island to now, and it was dark again, which was not the reason for the weather, but the time was speeding up, but the instrument that measured the time could not record it.

I talked to the rest of the team about this, and they said they hadn't talked about it, and Ink Dust speculated that there might be something on the island that was affecting it, but I couldn't figure out what kind of thing could affect time.

Or is it not time that passes, but us?

I remembered the story about the time and the labyrinth of the Night Raven, and he said that time is actually a labyrinth, and this labyrinth actually has a loophole, and this loophole is immortality.

So do the things on the island that can affect time have anything to do with immortality?

"Hand on," a hand suddenly tapped me on the shoulder, it was Ink Dust, and everyone else began to take things out of their bags to assemble the tent, and I picked up some firewood nearby with Ink Dust, dried it with fuel, and then lit two campfires.

We chatted a couple of times when the fire was lit, and I roughly learned the cause and effect of Ling Ling's farce.

The person who pretended to be Ling Ling wanted to infiltrate our team, but ordinary people were definitely not qualified, and instead would arouse suspicion and even kill him directly, so he pretended to be Ling Ling.

Ling Ling's identity is very special, as the young master of the Mo family, Lao Zhao is the apprentice of Mo Wangye, and he has never heard of him, but he only had a brief contact with him at the funeral of Mo Wangye.

It stands to reason that the fake Ling Ling's trick of hiding the sky and crossing the sea should be able to get through the trick, but when he made the application, Ling Ling was in the Mo family, and at the request of the Mo prince before his death, he went to Penglai with us.

In order not to startle the snake, Lao Zhao Mo and Ling Ling discussed a plan, that is, Ling Ling pretended to be Mo Chen's cousin, which caused all the later things.

After explaining the ins and outs, Mo Zhanchen solemnly apologized to me, what can I do, of course, I choose to forgive them.

After lighting the fire, the two of us saw that it was still early, so we went to the nearby forest to hunt two hares, dug up a few pieces of wild mushrooms under the roots of the trees, and prepared to roast and eat them together when everyone was busy.

Xiao Zhang couldn't be idle for a moment, and when he saw that we had hit rabbits, he took Shen Yan and him into the forest together, and actually poked a hornet's nest and got back a bag of wild honey.

Although the food we brought was enough for our job title for a long time, but it was mostly compressed food, focusing only on energy and nutrition, and the taste was naturally not as good as the game from this place.

We thought we had encountered a black bear or something like a beast, so we immediately picked up the guy, and when we looked closely, we saw that it was the strong man with the cross on his back, but at the moment he was still carrying a wild boar on his shoulder, this wild boar weighed three or four hundred pounds, covered in hair, but the strong man looked relaxed, the boar's head had been deeply sunken, and blood was slowly dripping down his shoulder.

The stride man strode over to our astonished gaze, and threw the boar to the ground, shaking the ground and stirring up dust.

"It's fierce!" Xiao Zhang stretched out his hand to fan off the floating soil in front of him, and gave a thumbs up, and the strong man scratched his head and showed a rather innocent smile.

After a while, everyone was busy with the work at hand and moved closer to this side, Lao Zhao was in a good mood and wanted to show us his unique barbecue secret skills.

A few of us who like to make trouble applauded, and got the wild boar and rabbit to the lake to wash and clean, Lao Zhao built two shelves with tree branches, stuffed some spices such as star anise pepper into their bellies, brushed a layer of oil rack, and roasted them on the fire.

In a short time, the meat was already roasted and fragrant, and my saliva was almost flowing out, if it weren't for so many people watching, I would have picked it up and gnawed on it.

Lao Zhao rummaged through the bag, unhurriedly took out a jar of secret sauce, turned out two brushes, brushed the inside and the outside layer thoroughly, and asked Shen Yan to evenly spread a layer of honey on the outside of the meat, in order to lock in the fragrance of the spices and sauce.

A dozen of us sat around the campfire, holding our breath, staring at the barbecue on the shelf with wide eyes, as if performing some ancient and mysterious ritual, and even the group of search and rescue troops were attracted by the smell and stood behind us swallowing vigorously.

Seeing that the barbecue turned a little bit brown, Lao Zhao suddenly waved his knife, "clicked" and cut off a rabbit leg, and gnawed it like no one was next to him in front of everyone.

Snatching a rabbit leg, I didn't care about the heat, I stuffed it directly into my mouth, gritted my teeth, "click", the skin on the outside was crispy and crispy, and then the fat and sauce wrapped in it exploded instantly, mixed with the sweetness and burnt aroma of honey after the test, and kept dancing in my mouth.

Xiao Zhang handed over a bottle of beer at the right time, I opened it and took a sip, and let out a long breath, feeling very happy.

In ten minutes, the two hares have been gnawed clean by us, and the wild boars have also been eaten by us nearly half, and the two teams are full of oily mouths and round bellies.

Lao Zhao didn't let us continue to add firewood, sat by the bonfire and watched the flames ignite little by little, leaving only a bunch of red fire, and then picked up the washed wild mushrooms and threw them directly, the sound of "squeaking" sounded, and the wild mushrooms gradually shrank and flattened, and the color became burnt yellow.

Lao Zhao picked up the wild mushrooms with the tip of the knife, blew off the wood ash on it, dipped it in the sauce, and swallowed it in one bite.

After eating and drinking, I wiped my face by the lake, and after a while of the wind, Lao Zhao went back to the tent to rest with us, originally I and Xiao Zhang had a tent, but we took turns to keep vigil, one person for an hour, the first time just drew Xiao Zhang and Lao Zhao, I slept alone.

It was the first time I came out so far, and I had eaten a little bit, so I lay in my sleeping bag and closed my eyes for more than ten minutes and didn't fall asleep, and suddenly remembered a notebook I had found on the skeleton, so I flipped it out of my bag and looked at it with a flashlight.

It was a diary, and first, I looked at the date on the last page of the notebook to determine the time of the ghost shipwreck, but my eyes widened at this glance.

That date turned out to be yesterday!

Moreover, the ink on that page was not completely dry.

That is, within a few hours of me boarding the ghost ship, there were still people writing this notebook!

Suppressing the fear in my heart, I looked at the contents of that page.

The words on it are in English, and the handwriting is sloppy, but I have passed level 4 and can still be vaguely recognizable.

Will God forgive me, once the most faithful believer in God, but now I have fallen into a demon minion?

Another ship has come for that secret, and I must stop them, and this may be my last salvation.

I sailed toward theirs, knowing that it was a breach of my contract with the devil, and that after this time, I would be crushed to pieces.

But I must tell them that they shouldn't come!
