The island is not close to the cruise ship.
But Tangwu avoided the island far away.
It's as if there is something on the island that repels the fog.
It is also the only thing everyone on the cruise ship can see on the Yangtze River.
Liu Hou looked at the island.
The island is green and the plants are growing very well.
It's like green dotted on white paper.
Suddenly a steward came trotting to Liu Hou: "Mr. Liu, the captain asked you to go there."
Liu Hou nodded and winked at Ding Yun and the Ling Dao people.
Then he followed the crew to the captain's cabin.
Captain Yuan Bo looked at the small island on the river through the porthole without blinking.
After a long time, he turned around.
Looking at Liu Hou: "Coming?"
"Um."
Liu Hou hummed.
"Come and take a look."
He asked Liu Hou to come to the ship's instrument panel, point at the screen, and sigh.
Liu Hou glanced at it and his pupils shrank.
The sonar picture of the cruise ship is constantly changing, and it is full of green.
The aimed position is facing the direction of the small island.
"Obviously the island can be seen with the naked eye, but the instrument shows the location of the island, and there is clearly nothing there."
The captain kept tapping the instrument panel with his fingers, seeming extremely confused.
"But this island doesn't look like a mirage. It's clearly real!"
Liu Hou didn't understand what was going on with this island.
Since the cruise ship deviated from the channel, whether it was the fog, the mysterious channel, or even the small island in front of me.
They are all weird.
The sun pierced the fog and fell on the water.
The island has a reflection.
The mirage itself is a reflection and has no shadow of itself.
The island should really exist, but strangely, modern instruments cannot detect its existence.
"I'm going to send people to the island to check the situation."
The captain raised his telescope and observed the island carefully: "The island is quite large, and there seem to be traces of artificial construction on the top. Maybe there are people living inside."
"Then I wonder what the captain's order was when he called me here?"
Liu Hou actually knew what the captain meant by calling him.
As expected, the captain said: "I am the captain and cannot leave the cruise ship. So I want you to accompany my crew to the island to investigate.
You can catch my pet squirrel effortlessly, and you are the strongest among the candidates on the cruise ship.
And you are thoughtful and cautious.
I am relieved to send you."
"Can."
Liu Hou did not refuse: "But there are two requirements. First, I want errand fees.
Second, I want to find two people I know well to go with me."
The captain agreed.
Soon he summoned three seventh-level red fire crew members.
He also handed Liu Hou some communication equipment.
One is a walkie-talkie with a talisman carved on it.
There are also a few spare notes for Wanli Chasing just in case.
This charm can transmit sounds thousands of miles away in emergencies, which is very useful.
Liu Hou also explained the situation to Ding Yun and Ling Dao people. Hearing that the captain would give a reward for this operation, the two readily agreed.
The bow of the cruise ship slowly turned and, under everyone's gaze, slowly approached the island.
The tense atmosphere was contagious on the ship.
Since the island could not be detected by radar, captain Yuan Bo was afraid that the cruise ship would run into rocks and stopped when it was still a few hundred meters away from the island.
Lower a lifeboat.
Liu Hou took five people on the boat.
The lifeboat rowed for a while and finally reached the shore.
The three crew members are named Tian Kai, Shao Cheng and Wei Heng.
Age around thirty years old.
As soon as Wei Heng reached the shore, he would overturn the boat and jump to the land.
Liu Hou grabbed him and shook his head slightly.
He took out a copper coin from his body and flicked it with his fingers.
The copper coins flew out and hit the rocks on the shore.
A ding-dong sound.
The rocks hit and sparks flew out.
Only then did Liu Hou feel relieved. This island was indeed a real entity.
"Let's get off the boat."
He pushed the side of the boat with his hands and jumped down with his whole body.
Keep your feet firmly on the ground.
A gust of wind blew over the island, bringing with it the aroma of earth and green grass.
From time to time, you can hear the chirping of insects.
There is a hill on the island, about a few hundred meters above sea level.
Looking around, there are all shady green trees.
The old trees were so entangled with their roots that there was no way to see the road.
"Mr. Liu, I will first launch the drone to explore high places."
Tian Kai informed Liu Hou.
Before coming this time, Captain Yuan Bo had told the crew to obey Liu Hou's instructions all the way.
After seeing Liu Hou nod, Tian Kai controlled the drone and took off.
As the drone slowly rose, everyone looked at the screen in surprise.
It’s not really clear from a low place.
But the higher you go, the more jaw-dropping the scene becomes.
From the perspective of the drone, the mist is endless and the depth and end are unknown.
The Squirrel and Lobster docked near the island, the only scenery in this white world.
As for this small island, it really seems to have some kind of power that repels the fog.
There is no fog at all on the island.
"Look here."
Ding Yun pointed at the corner of the screen on the remote control in Tian Kai's hand.
On the hill in the center of the island, halfway up the hill, a group of buildings appeared.
It's antique, like a village.
In one of the buildings, someone seemed to hear the noise of the drone's propeller.
Suddenly, several people in ancient costumes ran out and pointed at the drone in the sky with a look of horror on their faces.
"There is indeed someone! Fly closer."
Liu Hou commanded.
Tian Kai controlled the drone and slowly landed in front of the building complex, only more than ten meters away from the people in ancient costumes.
Their faces are clearly visible.
Those people were extremely curious about drones and seemed to have never seen anything like it.
Suddenly a black shadow flew from the right, and the drone's camera vibrated violently.
Like something hit the drone.
The image returned by the camera was spinning and falling suddenly.
The final signal was fixed on the scene of being grabbed by someone before landing.
"Those stupid people actually knocked down my drone."
Tian Kai said angrily.
This drone is a good thing. It took him a long time to apply for it from above. It only flew a few times before it was gone.
Those country people are really ignorant.
Even drones dare to shoot them down.
They must pay for it later.
Liu Hou raised his head and squinted his eyes.
But my heart was filled with surprise and uncertainty.
"Is there still a village wearing ancient costumes?"
Touching his chin, he murmured.
The Ling Taoist was also puzzled: "Those ancient costumes look very famous, but they are not sold on the market. They should be the regular clothes of the villagers in the village, or they may even be made by themselves."
Ding Yun was stunned: "You mean, they are a group of people who are isolated from the world?"
Liu Hou looked towards the top of the mountain: "Go to the mountainside first. After you find the village, ask about the situation and then make plans."
Now that science and technology are advanced, there are no isolated villages anywhere in the world.
Now that there are people on the island, things will be much easier to handle.
Liu Hou and others were even a little relaxed.
I thought that after finding the villagers, I could find out where this place was and where the cruise ship should go.
You can even find a phone number to communicate with the outside world.
But no one could have imagined that the road for them on the mountain would not be easy.
