Chapter 296: Dive
In fact, this voyage is not much different from the previous voyages.
There is another reason why West has so much pressure, and that is the revamped Narwhal.
His previous sea trials had made him aware of what his captain wanted to do, to explore the forbidden places that humans had never touched, the bottom of this mysterious sea.
He had been dreaming for the past few days that the captain had taken him underwater and was caught by a sea monster, and the whole ship was dragged into the pitch-black abyss.
"Captain...... We...... Are we really going down?" Vest, who was pinching his cigarette in his fingers, spoke with caution.
"Of course, do you think I'm modifying ships for fun?"
"That'...... So what are we going to look for at the bottom of the sea?"
"Looking for something, falling into a deep pit at the bottom of the sea, looking at the depth is estimated to be about 500 meters, just looking for something, the danger should not be great. ”
The cigarette butt in Vest's hand trembled involuntarily. What's the less dangerous of that?
Charles looked at West's extremely ugly face and patted him on the shoulder with his hand, "Don't be afraid of this and that, imagine your family on the island." ”
Vest nodded forcibly and calmly, he knew that the money was not so easy to get, but he had to fight for the sake of his mother and younger siblings!
He shuddered, shoved the cigarette into his mouth, took a breath, and then coughed violently.
Charles looked at the young man in front of him, as if he saw himself more than ten years ago.
The kind old woman flashed through his mind, and after thinking for a while, he said to West, "Why don't you go back to the island after this voyage." ”
There was a hint of excitement in West's eyes, but he quickly became firm, "No, I'm not going back, I need to bring happiness to my family through my efforts." ”
Looking at his categorical appearance, the corners of Charles's mouth rose slightly, and he didn't say anything. "Is your mother okay?"
Seeing the Governor mention his family, the fear and hesitation in Vest's eyes disappeared mostly.
"Well, I gave my mother the last money I had left to buy a hand-cranked sewing machine, and she can now take on a little work, and as for my younger siblings who have joined the school, they will be able to live well even if I die at sea. ”
I'm afraid, but West is clearly ready to die.
Just then, the hatch next to it opened, and the blind vampire stepped out of it.
"Captain, are you there too?" he said as he walked over to West, baring his sharp fangs and biting down on his neck.
"What are you doing here?" Charles asked, confused.
West, who was sucked by blood, endured the pain and replied: "Hiss~ I lost playing cards last night, and I lost five liters of blood to him, you light." ”
"Didn't you bring a blood bag with you, Odryk? Why do you drink his blood? ”
"Smack~" Sensen's fangs were pulled out, and Odrik used his scarlet tongue to lick the blood on the fangs.
"Captain, the blood in the bag is not as good as fresh blood, and you have drunk a lot of blood, and you can feel the difference. ”
Charles's eyes skimmed over the two bloody holes in West's neck. "This guy was sucked by you, so he will become a vampire too, right?"
"How is it possible, to give humans such a thing as a first embrace, you have to be a vampire at the earl level to do it, not to mention the special regulations of the master mother, every time you have a first embrace, you must report it. As Oldrick finished speaking, he kept spitting at Vest's wound.
Just as Odrik said this, Charles suddenly saw that the melted burn scar on his face seemed to be slightly better.
"Is the scar on your face healing??"
With a hint of excitement on his face, Odrick said: "My salary has been saved, and the people in the black market have bought two drops of the Duke's essence blood from Dark Crystal Island, and I will soon be promoted again." ”
"There's still a black market on Hope Island? Why didn't I know??"
"Although the law of Hope Island is strong, where there is light, there will always be darkness, which cannot be stopped. ”
"Keep an eye on me, I don't want the island to be in chaos. Charles said in a deep voice.
"Captain, don't worry, both Deepp before and James after know about the existence of the black market, and it's better to have these things exposed under your nose than to hide them all. ”
Hearing his old crew say this, Charles was immediately relieved, he believed that James could do his job well.
"When you advance, will your eyes heal?"
"Perhaps, but the damage caused by this sunlight is very troublesome, and it is the natural enemy of our bloodline. The two of them chatted casually against the edge of the boat.
The day didn't last long, as Charles saw the narwhal stop and they arrived at their previous location on the main island.
"Open the floodgates and release the water. "As the narwhal began to deform. The icy water slowly filled the tank, and the buoyancy of the entire ship changed, sinking into the black-haired water.
When the sea embraced the whole ship, everyone on board had a look of fear and a hint of excitement on their faces, exploring the deep and strange bottom of the sea, which no one had ever done in the history of the earthly sea.
Through the glass in front of the deck, they quickly saw the buildings that had been soaked in the sea, and the buildings were now like tombs.
At this time, no one spoke, and even breathed as lightly as possible, as if they were afraid of waking something in the sea.
"The big hole isn't here, it's a little bit off, a little further ahead. ”
Charles quickly identified the direction through the glass, at this time he did not have the fear of the bottom of the sea in his heart, he only had a sense of anticipation for clues now, and he went to great lengths to modify the narwhal just for such a day.
"Didi~" The sonar suddenly reacted, and then the sailors who were looking at the periscope said tremblingly: "The ship...... Captain...... Something seemed to be moving at 6 o'clock...... Huge, five times bigger than our ship. ”
This sentence made the hearts of everyone in the cockpit tighten, God knows what it was in the middle of the sea.
"Don't worry, it doesn't necessarily interest us, turn off all the lights. ”
In an instant, the narwhal's internal and external light sources disappeared in an instant, and they all turned into a giant piece of iron floating in the sea.
The approaching huge point of light on the sonar did not mean to stop, but accelerated and continued to approach the narwhal.
Lily's entire body, which was already frightened, hid in Charles's clothes, and everyone's faces turned unusually white.
Just as Charles's hand had already pressed the button to release the mine, the light spot on the sonar suddenly turned around and quickly left to the left.
