Chapter 144 The Way to Go Up

"What is your wish? Occupy an island with fresh water? Then let me tell you, in the Land of Light, fresh water can flow like sea water. People there even use fresh water for bathing."

"Just... just like the people in the heart of the island??" Kenona asked with longing in his eyes.

"That's right, as long as you reach the Land of Light, you don't have to fight in this crazy sea anymore, and you can live the life of the people in the heart of the island."

Charles's seductive words diluted the fear of death, and everyone began to discuss excitedly.

People who live at sea have always been very open about life and death, and those who are afraid of death will not be able to board the exploration ship.

But not everyone is blindly optimistic. The captain of the amphibious exploration ship in black military uniform said to Charles calmly: "Captain Charles, even if the top is really as beautiful as you said, how should we go up there?" ?”

Yes ah, how to go up? This is also a problem that bothers Charles. As far as he knows, Dihai doesn't seem to have too many skill points for flying in the air.

"Which of your crew has the ability to fly?" Charles asked them.

Captains, you look at me and I look at you, but they all turn their eyes back to Charles. "Mr. Charles, don't you have a relic that can turn into a giant bat?"

Charles took out the Bat Mirror and put it back after thinking about it. "I'm afraid this thing won't work. Its last owner was a vampire, and vampire things are probably more afraid of sunlight."

"How will you know if you don't try it? Mr. Charles asked me to come!" A young man with a white prosthetic eye eagerly stepped out of the crowd.

Glancing at him, Charles threw the Bat Mirror to him without saying anything.

The result was disappointing, as the giant bat flew into the sky and turned into a ball of fire, which soon turned into ash and was blown away by the wind.

Frowning slightly, Charles picked up the mirror shining in the sand. He thought he had found the exit and went out, but he didn't expect that the exit would be in the air.

"Yeah, how can we go up with such a big sun? If it's not cloudy outside in Africa all year round, wouldn't it mean that we never go up?"

Listening to Richard's complaints, Charles' eyes lit up, and he suddenly found himself in a blind spot of knowledge.

After staying in the underground sea for so long, Charles didn't remember for a while that the sun on the surface was not always there.

Richard immediately understood what Charles was thinking. "Dude, you are so smart, you actually remember that there is no sun at night, so we can return to the surface in twelve hours at most!"

Charles nodded. He looked at the bat mirror in his hand with a hint of excitement on his face.

This is good news, and Charles immediately told everyone the good news.

Upon hearing this exciting news, everyone's faces showed joy, which meant that they would soon be able to reach the legendary land.

No one can keep calm in the face of this kind of news. The ups and downs of this day have never been experienced by the crew. This is a serious challenge to the muscles on their faces.

Among the crew whistling and celebrating, the first mate bandaged secretly spat a mouthful of blood into the sea.

Charles Mingrui noticed this, walked over and asked, "What's wrong? Are you injured?"

Bandage shook his head, opened his mouth to Charles, and found some blood and flesh in his mouth.

"It's nothing... I ate too much fish... my mouth is a bit rotten..."

Charles knew right away that the bandage probably had scurvy from vitamin C deficiency.

Reminiscent of what the ship's doctor said before, I'm afraid not only him, but other crew members may have this problem, but the severity of symptoms is different.

Looking at the bright tropical island in the distance, Charles thought for a moment, then patted his first mate on the shoulder. "You wait for me for a while."

Charles returned to the island again and began to search in the dense woods. The woods were very dense and there were many kinds of plants. Soon Charles found some familiar fruits.

Among them are bananas nearly tens of centimeters long, and some pineapples the size of a fist.

Vitamin C is found in most fruits, and these tropical fruits can easily solve this problem. As for testing whether these things are poisonous, Lily's mice can do this task very well.

Charles kept collecting all kinds of fruits, but as he collected them, he found that the distribution of fruits on this island was a bit too dense, not like ordinary forests at all.

He finally knew who had brought the fruits when he jumped onto a tree trunk, only to see in the distance an almost vegetation-covered ruin in a dense jungle.

Charles walked over and found that although most of the buildings were dilapidated, the simple style of the Foundation could still be seen.

Charles was not surprised that the foundation's buildings would appear here. It would be strange if they didn't pay attention to the surface exit point like their style.

A group of long glass buildings in the ruins caught Charles' attention. Fragments of glass were scattered all over the place, and the steel rectangular skeleton without rust at all burrowed into the lush forest like the skeleton of a giant insect.

"Greenhouse?" Charles dismissed the answer when he saw a steel house inside.

"This foundation is awesome, such a height can actually erect an elevator." Richard looked up at the gap in the dome and said.

The steel house is the elevator room, and those steel brackets are the elevators from the Foundation's previous buildings to the gap in the sky.

Charles didn't know if there were any other exits, but he guessed that this place must be one of the Foundation's main exits to the surface.

"Go back." Charles grabbed the various fruits that were entangled by vines in his hand, quickly jumped between the branches, and rushed towards the sea.

Most of the fruits that Charles brought back did not taste very good, and the small green pineapple felt numb and astringent in his mouth.

Bananas look big, but the pulp inside is not only not a little bit sweet, but the banana seeds are also very big.

Among the various fruits, the coconut fruit is barely okay.

But no matter what, vitamin C supplementation is achieved.

The fruits are very watery and most of them are very heavy. Charles, who has run several times, is very tired. There is no way to do this. Now he is the only one who can move around in the sun.

Wearing the sunglasses he got from the vampire, Charles was lying on the beach drinking coconut juice and basking in the sun.

After finally seeing the sun again, he resisted a little and went back into the darkness.

"Squeak~" The mouse sounded from the left side of Charles. Charles raised his head suspiciously, but saw Lily following her mouse friends, nibbling on the coconuts he had picked.
