Chapter 718 Xanadu

Immediately, I jumped onto the life raft, unfastened the hook and threw it so hard that one end of the hook was firmly attached to the side of the ghost ship.

Then, I grabbed the other end of the hook lock, used my hands and feet, and climbed up as fast as I could, but in a minute I crossed the guardrail and reached the deck of the ghost ship.

Rannie and the others did the same, and all of them boarded the ghost ship smoothly.

At the same time, with a bang, huge waves rose on the surface of the sea, and the Ocean Fortress slowly sank into the depths of the ocean and disappeared completely.

The sinking of the cruise ship did not affect us much, and once we had settled down, we began to look around at the ghost ship.

From the deck, I scanned all the way along the cabin, the engine room, and the wheelhouse, and found that all the areas were dead and there was no movement.

"Let's go and have a look in the cabin!"

Seeing that the door to the cabin area was open, I said to Ronnie.

Several people followed suit, walked through the door of the cabin, and walked in.

The cabin area is large and divided into several parts, including accommodation area, restaurant, entertainment area, etc., and several large areas are connected by corridors.

Scattered throughout the cabin area, I looked around and found that although there was no figure in the whole cabin area, it was clean and tidy, and there was not even a trace of dust on the ground.

Passing through the lodgings, we followed a corridor to a large hall and began to look around.

This is a large area, with more than a dozen stalls on the left and right sides, which looks like it should be a place to eat, and dozens of dining chairs are placed in the center, which should be the restaurant of the ghost ship.

The décor of the restaurant was outdated, not much like the mainland cafeteria of decades ago, and it didn't look like anything special, but I soon noticed that something was not quite right.

On the dining table, there were still some black things, and when I took a closer look, I found that it was actually some charred food!

If you look closely, you can see that there are beef, pastries, and vegetables on the side, and chopsticks and knives and forks are placed next to them, and many of the foods are just half-eaten and thrown aside.

Judging from the degree of charring, this ghost ship has been at least a few decades old, and I don't know what happened at that time, so that the crew who were eating suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"Look, everyone!"

I was thinking about what was going on on the boat when Bai Ze suddenly walked over with a poster.

I looked at it and saw that the poster was printed with a picture of a cruise ship, with the date of departure written on the left and a few large characters written on the right: Vostok!

It seems that the Vostok is the name of the ghost ship, and according to the date on the poster, this cruise ship first went to sea in 1970 and has been missing for more than 50 years!

After scouring around and finding no other valuable information, we left the cabin area and went to the wheelhouse at the bow.

As expected, the cab was still empty, and all electronics and operating systems had long since been completely damaged.

Strictly speaking, this ship not only has no people, it doesn't even have a power system, it's just a hull!

What is the purpose of such a ghost ship that has been around for decades to sail and suddenly appear in front of us?

After examining the entire ghost ship, I found no other useful information, and I couldn't help but wonder more and more.

Anyway, I'm going to see where this ghost ship takes us.

Thinking of this, I gradually relaxed, and the group came to the deck again, took out the dry food that I had brought with me, and began to eat and drink.

The clouds still shrouded over the ghost ship, and from the deck, the sea in the distance was hazy, and the visibility was less than twenty or thirty meters, and no one could be sure where we had sailed now.

It's just that from the time estimate, more than three hours have passed since boarding this ghost ship.

"Everyone, hurry up!"

After eating and drinking, I was about to lie on the deck and sleep beautifully, when Bai Ze suddenly shouted loudly again.

"There's an island ahead!"

Hearing this, I got up and looked into the distance.

Sure enough, less than 100 meters in front of us, the fog dissipated, and the outline of an island loomed.

Is this the destination of the ghost ship?

Soon, the ghost ship came to a halt in a shallow bay near the island.

Now that we're here, we naturally want to go up and see what this island is.

Greeting a few of our friends, we jumped down from the railing.

After rolling on the dirt for a few laps, the group finally stood on the hard ground.

Not far ahead, a dense forest is hidden, and a small stream in front of you is murmuring, and bursts of insects and birds are chirping, coming out of the forest from time to time.

Contrary to what we had imagined, this island was not a lifeless desert island, but full of life and vitality, the opposite of the breath of the ghost ship.

At the entrance to the jungle, there is an artificially carved path that extends into the depths of the jungle, which seems to have been specially prepared for us.

Several people looked at each other, and then stepped onto the path, walking deep into the dense forest.

As we walked, there were fewer and fewer trees in front of us, and a bustling town gradually appeared in our sight.

The town is not big, most of them are two- or three-storey buildings, the streets are neat and clean, there are many shops on both sides of the street, and some people in casual clothes come and go, the river is endless, and it is very lively.

It's like a paradise!

"I didn't expect that there is a hidden town here!"

Bai Ze and the others couldn't help but widen their eyes and look shocked.

Without saying a word, we walked straight into town, intending to inquire what this place was.

Strange to say, the town seems to be left alone, and there should not be many outsiders.

What's more, the costumes of several of us were completely different from those of the residents of this town, but the local residents were not surprised at all when they saw us outsiders, but instead smiled and took the initiative to greet us.

"It's great to have a newcomer again!"

"Guests are coming, everyone come and greet them!"

Soon, countless residents came out and danced enthusiastically to welcome us.

At first, we were wary of these residents, thinking that there was something wrong with them, but looking at their enthusiastic smiling faces, I couldn't help but let my guard down.

There is not the slightest hint of evil in these people, and it seems that their welcome to us is sincere, and there is no conspiracy.

Are we really in a paradise?
