"What do you think, Captain Simpson?"

Several crew members accompanying Simpson, plus Goodman, stepped on this island that seemed to have just risen from under the sea, faintly feeling a divine aura floating in the air, and for such a huge new world in front of them, everyone's hearts were full of curiosity about this new world in addition to indescribable shock.

"Now that we're back on the ship first and all the passengers are in the hall, we need to be strict with everyone, and I already have a little plan in mind. Let's go back to the cruise ship first, after all, we can't rule out the unknown danger of this island. ”

When the old captain returned to the cruise ship stranded on the shore with the crew, he suddenly felt a strange feeling that made his heart palpitate from the depths of the island, and when the old captain turned his head to look at the island, he did not have any strange imagination.

"Delusion?"

Subsequently, under the command of the old captain, a total of 5,000 passengers were concentrated on the deck in a relatively orderly manner, and it was normal for the crowd to be quite agitated, after all, it was already very good that there were no extremists making trouble in this situation, and it was only necessary to remain generally stable.

"Everyone listens well, and I believe everyone has their own ideas in their hearts. But now, everyone, including me, is trapped in this place. There is no difference in the route and operation of our cruise ship, but it is this huge island, the ancient kingdom of Atlantis that appeared out of thin air, not that I am here to scare everyone, I believe that many people present also understand it very well in their hearts. ”

When the old captain said the word Atlantis, there were different reactions in the crowd.

"But you can rest assured that our cruise ship was in contact with the outside world until it was struck by lightning, and the situation of our interruption of contact has been known to the United States and the United Kingdom, and the rescue team will arrive as scheduled in a day or two, and the food on our cruise ship is enough for everyone to survive this long waiting time."

I have to say. The old captain's sonorous speech and the words around safety made the mood of the tourists present calm down a lot.

"We now need to divide everyone into three parts. First of all, people over 60 years old, people with limited mobility, women and children under the age of 14 should return to their rooms and wait for help to arrive. ”

After the old captain finished saying this, nearly half of the personnel returned to their rooms one after another under the command of the crew. Of course, there are still some women in the crowd who think they can do some practical things.

"Second, ask a geology expert. Doctors, soldiers, or police officers are listed. While waiting for the rescue, we will need to do a preliminary exploration of the environment of the islands near us, which we will discuss in detail in a moment. The exploration team is roughly kept to less than twenty people, and those who are willing to come out are invited. ”

Soon, nearly a hundred people came out of the crowd, which was far more than the old captain expected, after all, there were unknown dangers in this exploration work.

"The number of people is a bit more than I expected, thank you for your bravery. I'll do a screening of you later, after all, there are too many people to move. ”

"For the rest, my crew will lead the team to set up distress markers on the shallow where we are, and after that, you can all rest on board."

The old captain's plan was simple and efficient, and when he had finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Goodman

"You're in charge of the survival marker, and I'll lead the team to explore the island."

"Captain Simpson, are you going to go yourself?" Goodman asked in surprise.

"It's natural, after all, I'm also a half-cut person. Such a mysterious kingdom came to me, and I had the opportunity to enter and explore as the first pioneer. If I don't do it well, I'm afraid I'll regret it when I die. ”

Goodman nodded without saying anything more, directing the crew to arrange the rest of the passengers to the shallows, using some of the ship's cargo, dyes, and items to start setting up distress signals.

The old captain selected personnel very quickly, and the exploration team, including the old captain, was finally determined to be 12 people, including a young professor of geological exploration from Cambridge University in England, and two experienced doctors who had rushed to the front line. and five servicemen serving in the same military region and two special criminal police officers.

The last one left was very strange, claiming to be a wilderness survival expert, with a long beard and a figure that was a little worse than the seven soldiers.

And the reason why the old captain took a fancy to this person was not because the other party was good at surviving in the wild, but because this person gave himself a feeling that he couldn't see through. It seems to have played an extremely important role in this exploration.

"On my boat, I have the tools that everyone will need later. As for firearms, for security reasons, I only intend to issue them for military personnel and two police officers. The rest of the people can equip some talisman knives on their bodies, everyone has no opinion. ”

The eleven people sitting in the small conference room had no objection to Captain Simpson's arrangement.

"Mr. Captain, if I'm right, you didn't set up our exploration team to explore a new world, did you? It's that some of the rescue forces may not be able to get here, am I right? ”

It was the young professor who spoke, and at the end of the sentence, nearly half of the members of the exploration team present showed strange eyes.

"You're right." The old captain made no secret of it.

"This suspected Atlantean island is constantly emitting a high-intensity magnetic field with an area of about fifty kilometers, and all the equipment and instruments that enter the range are out of order. The investigative methods of modern technology are hindered here, so the twelve of us bear a very heavy responsibility. ”

"Do we need to destroy the area where the electromagnetic field is emitted?" A soldier asked.

"That's what I'm going to do, there's a lot of copper mesh in the cargo area of the ship, and you soldiers will take turns carrying copper nets in groups of two, and if we find the source of the magnetic field, we can shield it with it."

Of course, this is only the best-case scenario, after all, things are not as simple as we think. If there is no shielding, we need to find some source of food on the island, and let's be honest, the food left on the cruise ship will feed us for five days, and after the third day, the proportion of food allocated to each passenger will be drastically reduced, and there will inevitably be uncontrollable riots. ”

After the old captain explained the current situation, the eleven team members present all had their own thoughts and ideas, but when the old captain looked at the face of the big man who claimed to be a wilderness survival expert on the other side, the other party didn't seem to have any emotional fluctuations and reactions to this qiē.

"Time is of the essence, and the island is extremely large, even like the size of a small country. The time is now 8:10, and we will start at 9:00 after the preparations for the first qiē are officially scheduled to return at 3 p.m. for the entire island exploration operation, and be sure to return to the cruise ship before the sun sets. ”

As the old captain had planned, everyone was equipped with the equipment they needed for the task they were responsible for, and began to explore the mysterious island for the first time.

"Our current location is southwest of the island, let's explore in a clockwise direction, maintain a normal pace, and you will leave markers along the way, so that we can return the same way accurately and without delay."

"Yes." The big man nodded, leaving a mark in his own way after each part of the journey.

As the crowd first walked past a few dilapidated buildings that resembled ancient Greece, the young Cambridge Dr. had an indescribable look of surprise and excitement on his face.

"It is incredible that these texts correspond to the Atlantean civilization recorded in Plato's writings from 350 B.C."

While the Doctor was exploring this thousand-year, or even ten-thousand-year-old civilization, the bearded man was rubbing the soil on the ground with his fingers in the nearby forest, and constantly tapping the stones embedded in the moist soil with his index and middle fingers.

"There's a freshwater lake less than five kilometers to the east."

"Freshwater Lake!?"

The old captain's eyes immediately showed joy, in fact, one of the situations that he was most afraid of encountering in a shipwreck was the lack of water, and now he began to explore the location of the freshwater lake, which fully relieved the pressure in the old captain's heart. However, it is also necessary to determine the amount of water stored in the freshwater lake and whether it is drinkable.

"You lead the way, let's go and make sure."

The crowd began to walk in the direction of the freshwater lake that the bearded man had spoken, and the doctor, who was concentrating on studying the ancient civilization, seemed to be completely immersed in it.

"Dr. Hill, let's go."

"Wait for me a little bit."

As the young doctor hurriedly used a small manuscript to write down the unknown text imprinted on the wall, a small inky blue tentacle silently emerged from a corner of the dilapidated building and came to the doctor's body.

"Ahh The pain of a pinprick caused Dr. Hill to scream.

However, when he looked back at his heel, which had been pricked by the needle, there was no foreign object on it.

Dr. Hill didn't pay much attention to it, the sensation of pins and needles was so common that it might just be a normal physiological reaction.

Young Dr. Hill quickly put away the manuscript and tools, and followed in the direction of the crowd, only to know that at this moment, under the skin of his back, a dark blue wriggling object was hidden. (To be continued......)
