Chapter 454: The Island
The icy water poured into the narwhal's water tank, and as gravity increased, the narwhal slowly dived underwater.
Charles stood on the deck, and through the glass window on the steel plate, he saw a hazy bright spot in the distance.
The island was just below the narwhal, and based on its size, it was estimated to be about the size of Hope Island.
"Bandage, lean over a little more. ”
As the distance shortened, everyone on board was stunned, and they saw a very shocking scene.
The icy, gloomy waters were illuminated by the lights of a sunken island, a huge island that was moving slowly.
The islands are topped by tall buildings, and the previous lights shine through the windows of these buildings.
The style of the building is very modern, and if it weren't for the fact that it is located at the bottom of the sea, Charles would have thought that he had come to the sky above Lujiazui in Shanghai.
The only Foundation can build such a structure in Earthsea, but Charles knew before that the Foundation used an aircraft carrier to send the keys to the island, and it was not surprising that the Foundation building appeared.
But to Charles's surprise, the silent island still had lights and could still move.
Immediately afterward, Charles saw more details of the island, with rows of giant tracks at the lower end of the bustling island.
It was impossible for that huge set of tracks to be man-made, and no human had ever been able to create a huge track wider than a mountain, and the island was like a giant toy of the gods.
However, as soon as Charles thought back to the Dawning One hanging above New Territories City before, he felt that it was entirely possible for the Foundation to make such a huge mobile mechanical island, and with the power of various relics, they were already like the gods.
"The island is still moving, and the lights in the building are cooling, are there still Foundation people on the island?"
The thought flashed quickly through Charles's mind, and then vanished.
He didn't know what the Foundation was going through, but at least there was no Foundation in Earthsea now.
"Captain, what are we going to do next? Do we keep getting there? This island looks a little dangerous, this thing can't be alive, right?"
Charles's brow furrowed even more from the boatswain's words, but he couldn't just let it go.
"Give me the wetsuit, I'll go down and have a look, and Dip will come with me. Charles said, turning his head towards the decompression chamber.
More than 200 pounds of heavy diving suits covered his body, and the icy sea water began to pour into the pressurized chamber.
"Wait for any situation, everything is under my command, don't act randomly. Charles, who was gradually submerged in the sea, shouted to Deepp, who was beside him.
"Understood!" the corners of Dipper's mouth turned up, revealing a row of sharp teeth.
When the pressure of the seawater in the pressurized chamber was exactly the same as the outside, the two of them were instantly exposed to the pitch-black sea water as Deepp slammed the gate.
Dipper swung his webbed legs and swam behind Charles, dragging him towards the sea.
As the distance slowly approached, the larger details of the moving underwater island appeared in front of Charles.
He knew it was an island, but looking at the lights in the water, he wondered who lived on it.
Charles stopped when he was still a mile away from the island, and as he quickly waved his hands and waved the flag, Dipper slowly passed over the island with him.
Charles lowered his head and looked down at the huge island dozens of kilometers long below, and so far, he didn't see any danger.
But in the same way, he didn't find the huge key he was looking for, and if the key was really outside, it would definitely be visible at a glance.
The key to the surface gate is not on the island, and it needs to be explored more deeply, and it is impossible to see it from the outside.
"Deep, let's go down slowly. Charles said to Deepp.
But the fish-man holding him in both hands shook his head, and said that he would go down and have a look first.
As he spoke, Dipper let Charles go, and his limbs slammed into the seawater, Charles stretched out his hand to grab it, but the other party was like a barracuda, slamming out.
Charles scolded in the diving suit, and just said that he wanted this kid to listen to him, but he just likes to act rashly.
He knew that this kid was afraid that he would be in danger, so he ran over to explore the way first, but he didn't need this kind of thing out of control at all.
Dipper went quickly and came back quickly. He quickly rushed to Charles, who was suspended in mid-air by the oxygen tube, and quickly gestured his arms. "Captain, no danger, no anomaly. ”
With a hard thump on Deep's chest, Charles waved at the narwhal above.
As the narwhal slowly descended, Charles followed Deepe towards the island below
The bandages that controlled the narwhal's speed were very careful, and the ship descended very slowly, as if it would pull its captain back with an oxygen tube as soon as anything happened.
"Bump!" The diving boots with thick iron plates slammed into the street, stirring up flying dust.
Charles landed at the very edge of the island, and judging by the huge metal tower cranes and neatly arranged containers around it, it was a former dock, a dock with modern facilities.
Charles walked slowly, observing everything around him.
He could see that the surroundings were clean, and there were no corals or barnacles on the roofs of the buildings or the various docks, except for some sand on the ground.
This is obviously not normal, not to mention that it is at the bottom of the sea, even on the surface of the earth.
"Buzz~" Charles's prosthetic leg quickly turned into a chainsaw and slashed hard at the container next to him.
Touching the incision of the container with his hand, Charles found that it was really made of metal, not the same goods that Mihe had made before.
This is not a good thing, as the island may have the protective weapons of the previous Foundation.
"Bang bang bang. More sailors in wetsuits jumped off the narwhal and surrounded Charles, asking what to do next.
"Gather and search for all living things, and all things that have handwriting. ”
Charles didn't let them find the key, such a big key, and he was not blind, if he really wanted to come out, he would have found it a long time ago.
With a thick oxygen tube behind him, Charles and his crew slowly explored the dock.
Time passed, and the other sailors were exhausted and began to change.
In this case, the efficiency of exploration is really not high, but it is better to be safe and stable.
"Captain, I'll look over there, it's too slow. Dipper said over there.
"Don't go, go together, everyone must be within the sight of their companions. ”
Slowly, they searched the entire dock and began to make their way to other areas.
Just above a telephone pole they couldn't see, there was a small gray bird the size of a ping-pong ball, which was supposed to have a head, but had been replaced by a silver metal camera that glowed a dark red.
The camera zooms out and down, reflecting Charles in the distance who is looking for clues.
