Soon the bat came back, and seeing him shaking his head at himself, Charles knew that this guy hadn't discovered anything.
"Start the boat and search in circles with this point as the center." With the captain's order, the crew started to move.
However, the Narwhal searched the entire 50-kilometer area but found nothing.
For a moment, Charles was in a dilemma. If there really was an island in this place, it would be impossible not to see it.
According to the island ratio given by Aaron, the Foundation's island is a very large island, several times larger than Hope Island.
Since Aaron had no reason to lie, why couldn't he find it? How could such a big island disappear just like that
Just as Charles was lost in thought, West beside him asked the chef curiously, "What is the captain looking for?"
"Don't ask too many questions. Just follow the captain's orders. We just need to get paid. The captain can decide the rest."
The crew stood aside and waited quietly. It was up to the captain to decide whether to continue searching or to turn around.
Suddenly, Charles had an idea, and he suddenly realized that he had found the reason why the main island disappeared, although this reason might be very desperate.
Charles took out a mirror box, opened it and threw it into the water. The dazzling light illuminated everything under the water.
Darkness. There is nothing underwater, only darkness that even sunlight cannot penetrate.
The sun slowly set and disappeared, but just as it disappeared, at the very bottom of the sea, the top of a tall building with an H painted on it flashed by.
Charles clenched his hands instantly. He guessed correctly. The main island of the foundation did not disappear. Aaron did not lie. The island sank! !
Thinking about Aaron's previous words, Charles showed a wry smile on his face. This guy also vowed that the foundation had prepared various plans for various situations.
But from now on, it seems that the Foundation's plan was of no use at all. The disaster was even more powerful than they had imagined, and everything of the Foundation was completely left in the last era.
One of Charles's puzzles was solved, but another question popped up. What should he do now
His plan here was to go to the main island of the foundation, hand over the information in his mind to the foundation, and then go to the surface with the help of the members of the main island of the foundation.
It could be that the foundation's main island has sunk to the bottom of the sea, and all steps have come to an abrupt halt.
There is no Foundation Island, and there are no Foundation members either. They are all in the sea.
"Now let's go back and use the Pope's map, searching for islands one by one like a blind man feeling an elephant, and try our luck?"
Charles always felt unwilling to give up. This might be the closest he had ever been to the surface exit.
Aaron said that we can apply to the foundation staff for permission to go to the surface, which means that the main island definitely knows the location of the surface exit.
"But now the main island has sunk, and we can't get there at all..." Charles paced back and forth with a frown on his face.
"Wait, maybe... maybe I can go." Charles turned his head and looked at Feuerbach.
"How long can you usually dive for?"
"One hour is no problem. This is my talent."
"Sure! Audrick, did you bring the black rubber jacket you use to block the sun? Lend it to me."
The vampire sailor nodded hesitantly. He didn't know why the captain suddenly said this.
"That thing was originally used by the Church of Light to launch water, so it should be airtight."
"Captain! Are you crazy? Don't you know what's in the water? It's underwater!!"
"Captain, according to legend, the dark bottom of the sea leads to hell! You must not go there."
The crew members were trying to persuade him anxiously, and Feuerbach also kept shaking his head. For the first time, a trace of fear appeared on his face, even though he usually didn't care about anything.
"Captain, although I am a good swimmer, I usually only stay in shallow waters. Going to dangerous places on the seabed is simply courting death. Most of those messy things come out of the deep sea."
Charles certainly knew the danger, but thinking back to Aaron's words, Charles felt that the risk was worth taking.
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and get ready, this is the captain's order."
After all the trouble to find this place, it would be a big loss if you don’t even try it.
"What about oxygen? Mr. Charles, people will die without oxygen." Lily jumped out.
"I can make a simple oxygen cylinder that can be used." Charles rushed into the cabin and began to prepare without stopping.
Just then, the doctor limped to his side, holding a bunch of pure round dark leaves in his hand.
"This will allow you to breathe very slowly, helping you stay underwater longer."
"Thanks, how long can this potion last?" Charles' face was suddenly filled with ecstasy. With this thing, the time he could spend exploring the sinking island in Shuishui would be greatly increased.
"The effect of this medicine is not very stable. It may only last for an hour or two. But after taking it, you will feel weak all over and unable to use your strength. Taking this kind of thing in dangerous water will add a lot of danger. It's up to you to decide whether to use it." The doctor had a serious look on his face.
Charles reached out and took the bunch of leaves without saying a word.
Charles' preparations were completed quickly. He was wearing a leather jacket and carrying several oxygen cylinders made of soft leather bags. He put the doctor's herbs in his mouth, chewed them, and with a splash, he rushed directly into the cold and dark sea water.
The moment he entered the water, Charles felt cold all over. The sea here seemed to be much colder than other places.
The herbs took effect, and Charles felt his breathing become longer.
The oxygen cylinder he brought with him was very limited, so he didn't dare to delay. He held the fin of a red shark and pointed at the darkness below.
Soon, Charles saw the helicopter airport he had just seen. It was a square tall building.
Charles and Feuerbach continued to walk down the towering building.
Watching the broken glass of the building next to him slowly moving upwards, Charles had the illusion that he was jumping off the building.
It was very dark here, with almost no light. Charles' night vision allowed him to see clearly ten meters around him. The darkness around him kept pressing towards him, bringing with it an extremely oppressive feeling that made him want to shout.
Charles looked through the windows of the tall building next to him. At this moment, the window was full of corals and aquatic plants. If it weren't for the huge scale of the building, Charles would have thought that there was only a coral reef in front of him.
But there are no living creatures here, no living creatures at all.
Charles was still diving, and the dark seabed seemed to have no end. Charles had been diving for a long time, but still hadn't reached the end.
Charles felt something looking at him in the endless darkness around him.
