Chapter 332: Waterway Circulation
The ship continued to move forward, and in order to be wary of changes around it, the fax controlled the speed to the maximum.
The oddly undulating mountains on either side still look the same, the surface of the water emits a strong, pungent smell, and bubbles constantly gurgle to the surface of the water against the rotting plant rhizomes. There was a lot of green algae floating on the surface of the water, and the passage in front of it was almost blocked, and the white part of the boat that was submerged in the water below was covered with a layer of green.
The sky was still quite uncertain, and there was a foggy gas rising over the river, filling the entire river.
Everyone finally wrung out the clothes on their bodies, replaced them with spare ones, and put them all wet on to dry. The only thing in the cabin had been overturned by the previous Adventists, and many things were scattered everywhere, and they took the time to put them away.
"Where have you gone now?" Lao Li asked.
Ren Yi thought as he looked at the map, "I've already walked out of a fortress city, almost ...... We're four days away."
"It's fast. If you take the bus, maybe it will be more than that." Lao Li sat down next to him.
"Well, we're going to set aside time to find a lab. After all, it was already a human epoch, and we didn't know the situation at that time, and even if there was a clue about it, it had already passed in time. In order to prevent any mistakes in the process of finding a laboratory, we need to be well prepared."
"The laboratory is close to the imperial tomb, maybe you have to think from the perspective of feng shui." Lao Li suggested.
"No one understands this......
Everyone was discussing whether they had a ride or not, Ren Yi turned his head to look at the backward scenery outside the window, and suddenly felt that something was different just now.
"Huh?" Ren Yi stood up in surprise and walked towards the front of the cabin, "Is the speed slow? What's wrong?"
The back of the fax was there, motionless and unanswered.
Ren Yi's heart suddenly sank.
Walking up and standing side by side with him, their eyes were at the same angle, and Ren Yi immediately understood what Fax was looking at just now.
In front of the view, the entire river is covered with a thick green, and reddish-brown algae floats almost all over the river, mixed with the garbage washed down from the shore, which looks very disgusting.
In the midst of the chaos, dozens of grayish-white, hard, withered human bodies floated on the water's surface, holding out their arms or elbows in a strange motion.
As far as the eye can see, the entire river is densely covered with a large area of white above the water, which looks like countless hungry fish poking their heads out to be fed, and like water ghosts reaching out to grab a stand-in.
"This, how many are there......" The endless white hand bent along with the river and disappeared in front of the mist, and Ren Yi's scalp was numb when he saw it.
"These things have been around since the first encounter with the Adventist in the water, and they've been going all the way here, and they're trending more and more." Fax frowned.
"You didn't see it in the back just now, these things haven't been broken. You can see a few of them every few meters."
"Originally, I thought it was caused by the one who came just now, but now it seems that things are not that simple."
"Are you suspicious, the problem is ahead?" Ren Yi followed his train of thought, "Then the ability of this Adventist covers a lot of area."
"That's right, we all have to cheer up, maybe we will meet, and it will be another unavoidable battle."
Ren Yi nodded, "I'll look at the back."
With that, he turned around and walked through the crowd towards the stern of the boat.
Ren Yi stood still at the stern of the boat, looking around. The water was so foggy that it was impossible to see anything. All you can see on both sides are branches that have fallen from the hillside due to the destruction of the Adventists, half-dead, some of which hang limply in the water, soaked and rotten. Some of the reeds that grew along the banks of the river had dried up and died, and the waves of water struck the yellowed leaves as the boat passed, making a rustling sound.
"Oh, that's not right." Looking at it, Ren Yi seemed to have discovered the problem.
The ship has always been moving forward, that is, towards the northeast.
He had seen the map before, and there was no obvious directional turn in the river.
However, now the direction of the ship is definitely not northeast!
He immediately lifted the watch on his wrist, and the compass on it was spinning wildly, as if it had been disturbed by some strong magnetic field.
Ren Yi secretly screamed in his heart, and immediately reflexively returned to the crowd.
They were still resting to save their strength, and when they heard Ren Yi's footsteps coming in front of them in an instant, they opened their eyes in surprise and looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Which of you has a compass? Take it all out!" Ren Yi said anxiously.
Seeing his abnormal expression, everyone immediately entered a state of emergency, and each took out a compass from his body and handed it to his eyes at the same time.
Ren Yi looked at the three compasses of different sizes and styles in front of him, and his heart sank. I saw that the hands on it were all turning wildly, and none of the two directions were the same.
This situation, he had encountered once before, was when the "Elephant King" appeared, and everything collapsed.
"There is a Descender!" Ren Yi hurriedly reminded the fax.
"Wait a minute...... Lao Li suddenly stood up at this time, walked to the side of the boat in three steps and two steps, and looked at the scenery outside with the continuous retreat of the current, as if he didn't recognize it.
"What?" Ren Yi sensed that something was wrong with him, and followed him.
"Do you feel like we've walked this way?" Lao Li scratched his head in confusion.
"I didn't pay attention. The waterways here are probably all the same." Ren Yi's heart tightened, but he still had to reluctantly calm down on his face.
"Because I'm idle, I've been looking at both sides all the way,......" Lao Li pointed to an advertising sign floating on the water, "I clearly remember seeing this, and I believe that the scenery on the road may be the same, but this is man-made, the same signboard, there are two places, the words are exactly the same, and they both fell into the water, this is unlikely, right?"
Ren Yi's gaze fell on the inverted billboard in the water. It was a lightbox-shaped billboard, with a faded red background, the edges scratched and rolled up, weathered to reveal the white threads woven underneath.
It has the name of a restaurant written on it, as well as the address and phone number. If it was really Lao Li who had seen it, it would be absolutely impossible to meet two identical ones, there is no such coincidence in the world.
Then there is only one possibility, and the ship is back here without knowing it.
But the channel is straight, and the current is moving normally along the way, and there will be no regression.
It was the ability of the Adventist that made this path inexplicably appear in a cycle.
Although he didn't see anything abnormal, the feeling in Ren Yi's heart had changed. It seems that the white fog under all directions is full of hidden dangers.
He was engrossed in observing everything around him, and he was on the verge of a touch.
