Chapter 408: Clues
The hull of the cargo ship is about two stories high, and it seems that it is due to the grounding and hitting the reef, and there is a large hole in the side of the hull, but because the water level is not deep, the hull is not submerged.
The hull is crawling with green moss and aquatic plants, the hull is generally intact, but the rust marks are very serious, and the signs on the hull are only faintly visible, and a pattern of two fish heads and tails connected can probably be distinguished, and there is a text next to it - Seagull of Hyperland Company.
Overall, there is nothing special about it, it seems to be an ordinary cargo ship that has run aground in a storm.
However, the appearance of this cargo ship here is very strange, which proves that there were people on this unknown island before their arrival.
From a game point of view, there must be no useless things in the current scenario, and there are likely clues related to this mission on this cargo ship.
Everyone looked at each other.
"Be careful, and make sure there's a threat."
Hongluan whispered, and removed a cold weapon of her choice from her back—a double-edged axe.
Everyone nodded, and at the same time removed their hot and cold weapons, and began to approach the cargo ship together.
The cargo ship is about 20 meters away from the coast, so it has to wade through the water.
"Be careful, it's the next turn for No. 3 to liberate the ability, so No. 3 will go to the front, and once there is danger, the restriction will be lifted immediately, what do you think?"
Hongluan said softly.
"Yes."
The traveler who drew number 3 nodded, looking quite easy to speak.
Everyone marched forward in a zigzag formation, and the one standing at the front was the traveler, and then the people of the Jinyun Brigade and the flying birds were evenly distributed, and Meng Xuan was behind.
Walking forward about ten meters, the water level has reached everyone's thighs, and it is getting deeper and deeper, when it is close to five meters of the boat, the water level has reached the position of everyone's chest, Qingluan's short body can't stand up at all, and directly sits on the shoulders of the tall Xianglong.
Crash! Crash!
The crowd held their breath and concentrated their full attention, and there was no sound around them except for the sound of water from slow movement.
Below you is the dim surface of the water that makes it difficult to see what is going on below, and in front of you is a dilapidated shipwreck that is stuck in the sea, crawling crookedly covered with green moss and moss, this image will make you feel a deep-sea phobia no matter how you look at it.
Strange as it may seem, there are no floating corpses in the offshore area, so don't worry about running into floating corpses every step of the way, which is probably the only good news.
However, the situation that worried everyone did not happen, they walked smoothly to the hole on the side of the wreck, Meng Xuan and the others turned on the flashlight that had been prepared long ago and shone it towards the cabin.
The corrosion in the cabin was worse than the outside, and there was a damp feeling, and there were wooden crates floating around that looked like cargo, emitting a pungent smell of sea.
The crowd saw a rope ladder covered in moss hanging down from the deck entrance.
Everyone looked at each other.
When the ship ran aground, it seemed that there were still people alive? Where have these people gone now?
But a group of ordinary people are unlucky enough to run aground in this kind of ghost place, and they must basically be dead, right?
"I haven't found any danger for the time being, let's go up to the deck and have a look."
The traveler at the front carefully examined the situation in the cabin, turned to the people behind him, and then took the lead into the cabin.
To everyone's surprise, when they walked near the rope ladder, they still didn't encounter anything unusual.
What's going on?
This mission is so peaceful? Or are they simply getting it in the wrong direction?
The traveler walked in front of the rope ladder, stretched out his hand and pulled the rope ladder, and found that the rope ladder seemed to be made using a special process, and after staying in this humid environment for so many years, it was still very strong, but it was covered with moss and some slippery hands.
"Let's go up to the deck and have a look."
The traveler offered to offer.
"Be careful."
Golden Horn nodded at him.
Grabbing the handrail of the rope ladder, he began to climb towards the entrance to the deck above.
Soon, the traveler climbed onto the deck.
He seemed to look on the deck for a moment, then bowed his head and said to the crowd, "Come up, there's a discovery." ”
So, the crowd quickly climbed up the rope ladder to the deck as well.
The scene on deck was the same as that of any other cargo ship, and it did not seem to have been damaged by the grounding, but it looked very old and decayed, rusted everywhere.
But what really got everyone concerned was something on the deck.
It looked like piles of trees had been burned down, and the remains of fish bones and pits could be seen around.
There were still people alive after the ship ran aground, and these are supposed to be traces of a survivor's fire, which proves that there were people who survived on board the ship for some time after the ship ran aground.
These people don't know what happened to them, but the chances of surviving are low, and I just hope that they will leave some useful clues before they die, so that they don't spin around like headless flies now.
"I don't know if there are any other threats in the ship, so let's act together and see if we can find any clues."
Hongluan said, and everyone returned to their original formation and began to search for the wreck.
And just as they were searching.
On the shore, behind the sandy beach, in the shadowy jungle, there were several strange shadows that could not be described, standing in a stiff posture in the shadows under the trees, as if watching the wreck and the people searching for it from afar.
It looked like a hunter hiding in the shadows, staring at his prey.
"Outsider ·····"
"The Taste of the Outside World······"
······
······
The search went smoothly, and there was no danger along the way, the offshore area seemed to be a buffer zone, with some kind of terror hidden in the woods, endless floating corpses floating in the far sea, and rare tranquility in the offshore and on the beach.
The internal structure of this cargo ship is very simple, and it is not a large cargo ship itself, but a small cargo ship that runs offshore shipping and river transportation, and I don't know why such a cargo ship appears in such a place.
The entire cargo ship can probably accommodate more than a dozen people, the place is not big, and it took less than half an hour for everyone to search the entire cargo ship, and it is very important to obtain a task item with a system prompt.
"Mission Item: Worn-out Diary."
"Function: Provide certain leads."
"Note: Who keeps a diary for serious people?"
Everyone returned to the deck, looking at the diary in the center, and they were all speechless.
"It's a little strange, just a landing mission is careless, there is a great possibility of annihilation, and now I found such a mission item that seems to be very important, and I didn't encounter any anomalous phenomena?"
Yun Meng said with a frown on his somewhat stiff brow.
"I also think something is wrong, this clue can't be misleading, right?"
Tengu also asked with some confusion.
"I don't think so, I've experienced so many events, the mission items that can be recognized by the system, there will be no fake things, they generally contain a lot of event information, and this information is often correct and important, otherwise it is impossible for the general clues to be recognized by the system."
Hongluan also frowned at this time.
"There is another possibility, there is a real clue in this diary, but there are great dangers on the way to this clue, and these dangers are the highlight of this mission two, so we didn't experience more dangers when we got the diary."
Meng Xuan said with a deep groan.
"It's possible, anyway, let's see what is written in this diary first."
Jin Jiao said, everyone agreed, and Hongluan opened the diary.
"Phew, serious people who write diaries?!"
The first sentence on the first page of the opening paragraph made everyone feel a little messy.
"But there's no way, I don't know how long I can live now, write a diary early, hide the suicide note, maybe when it will be discovered by future generations, for this reason, Lao Tzu can only be a serious person once······"
Just look at what you write to know that you shouldn't be a serious person in the first place······
Hongluan and the others all felt a little unhappy in their hearts.
"My name is Bodama Chikya, I am the first mate on the ship, I live in Building 601, Building A, Unit B, Jindi Community, District 11, Kodia City, Binnizhou, Qilan, my wife's name is Dafia, if future generations can see this diary, please help bring him to my family, I will bless you in heaven after I die."
"Damn, I'm thinking about my little Sophie again, this damn storm! What the fuck is this?!! ”
"If there are latecomers, oh, forget it, I hope there won't be latecomers as unlucky as us, forget it, there are still latecomers, otherwise the news may write that we people have been caught by UFOs for human reproduction experiments!"
"By the way, what the hell are we in now? Maybe it's really no longer on Earth? Did we really get captured by UFOs? They love to watch wilderness survival shows, so they got us here and made us wail at the sea every day, and they're watching our jokes through a camera somewhere? ”
"We are just offshore cargo ships, how can we run to this deserted island in the far sea?!!
"It all started that day, we ran to the sea as usual, and this cargo mission was very profitable, at least enough for me to cover for a month, but unfortunately, we encountered storms on the way, and no one knows how these storms came about, it seemed to appear suddenly, and suddenly hit our ships."
"I can't believe that in just five seconds, a clear day has turned into night, and the fiery sun has been completely swallowed up by heavy dark clouds, thunder and lightning, and strong winds almost blow us over."
"We deviated from the course, all the communication equipment failed in the storm, and after a damn lightning struck the Seagull, even the compass was useless, and the rain around us was so heavy that we didn't know where we were."
"Just when we thought this trip was going to die, things took a turn for the better, God seemed to be extrahumane, and the originally violent weather began to become mild, and through the rain curtain, we saw the general outline of an island."
"Oh my God, how long have we been off? How did you see the island? There was no island at all in the original established shipping lane, and this island did not exist in the charts? ”
"However, the storm caused serious damage to our ships, and after counting the number of people, we found that a total of three people were thrown off the deck because of the storm, God, this is almost equivalent to death."
"The communication equipment is still in an unusable state, we can't call for help, we don't know the direction, we don't dare to run around at all, and we don't dare to float on the sea at will, so we can only approach in the direction of the island."
"Damn, the luck is really bad, it's a new storm coming, because we are not familiar with the sea, we hit the rocks, but fortunately we are not far from the shore at this time, and we finally landed on this island."
"When we got to the island, we found that it seemed to be a deserted island, with no birds, nothing left, and we were all a little desperate, because it was an offshore route, we didn't have much food to prepare, and fresh water was very limited, and if we didn't have supplies, we would be in a very bad situation."
"We had to start exploring this island, there is a jungle not far from the beach, I don't know why I have a feeling of fear when I see this jungle, like some ghost or cannibal will rush out of the jungle and push me to the ground, drag me back and hang me to roast ······"
"But maybe we were too worried, we weren't threatened in the woods, except for some small animals or insects that weren't too friendly to us, and the rest was fine, we found bread trees, hunted wild animals, and luckily we had weapons with us, and it all seemed easier."
"However, what worries us is that the communication equipment and direction devices are not functioning properly, which means that we are stuck on the island, which is not good news, even if there is enough food and fresh water, no one wants to be stuck in this kind of place for the rest of their lives."
"Lately, we've been out hunting during the day and back on the boat at night, and Quentin has become our only pleasure, only to be tortured after three days."
"During this time, we have been afraid to explore the island, and as the captain of the ship, Rona thinks there seems to be something terrifying there, and this guy's instincts have always been accurate."
"However, after a month, we can't take it anymore, there are no ships passing by, we don't see any hope, we don't want to be trapped here, we want to go home."
"So, it was suggested that we should explore the interior of the island, and maybe we could find more useful things to help us tinker with the ships."
