Chapter 537: Traces
The gray snow in the sky has stopped falling, and the snow on the ground has also disappeared, but the surrounding area is still hazy, like a purple haze, and the visibility is not very high.
Charles looked up at the hazy purple sky. He never thought that he would come up again one day.
"So the surface looks like this, Captain, did you really live in this kind of place before? It doesn't feel better than the bottom." The murloc squatting on the ground with a cigarette dangling from his mouth said.
"This place is not my world, at least not now." Charles with his arms folded patiently waited for the huge airship to stop into the giant pit fortress.
Dipper flicked lightly, and directly flicked the spent cigarette butt to the ground, "Captain, I think it's faster to explore with this airship."
"Nonsense, of course I know. There is no problem. The factory has started to speed up construction, but if it is really going to be built, it must be used to transport materials first. Let's figure out how to deal with the next trouble." Charles looked up. The foot went down the stairs.
Charles had no time to waste. The severe situation made him immediately assign exploration positions to all explorers.
In order to facilitate the understanding of other explorers, Charles directly divided them according to the method of the Explorers Association.
Like a large pie, each person is responsible for belonging to a small piece of the location.
Now the people of Earth Sea don't know anything about the surface of the earth. Since they want to explore, they must find out all the surrounding environment, and they need to know both dangerous and safe things.
After all, it is unrealistic to rely on the first batch of these people to easily find the darkness, they are here to explore the way.
The direction Charles chose was the place where Pope Ledger pulled the God of Light
If anyone is most likely to know what happened to the God of Light now, it must be him. It is always the fastest to go to him first to find out the clues.
After the explorers quickly chose their direction, they began to prepare various materials immediately.
There is no water on the surface and the boat cannot be opened, and the airship cannot be vacated now. Only cars are available for them, including Charles and the others.
Four cars with supplies were quickly dispatched to the crew of the Narwhal.
The sailors resisted the whale oil barrel and poured it into the oil tank, and the sailors of other explorers did the same thing. A pungent whale oil smell wafted over the fortress.
"I hate riding in a car. I feel sick when I ride in a car." Sailor Norden grumbled softly, frowning.
Charles reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "Our ship is being refitted. Be patient, we can only make do with this now."
Charles' words caught everyone's attention.
"Captain, can the Narwhal really come up?" Orderic asked in surprise.
"Yes, but it will take time to refit. Don't talk nonsense. Get in the car. Except for Orderic, the others are divided into three groups, and each person will spend eight hours." Charles opened the door and sat in directly.
"Captain, but we... have never driven a car before."
"Practice without driving a car, anyway, this place is very empty, just separate from each other."
It is difficult to learn to drive, mostly because driving in the city, you need to understand those traffic laws to prevent hitting people.
But if you don't consider these, then driving is a very simple thing. It's nothing more than an accelerator, a brake, and a steering wheel. It's no different from driving a boat.
What's more, on the uninhabited Gobi Desert, these novices can't find anyone to bump into if they want to.
Charles took it out of his pocket and took out a compass, hanging it in front of the windshield.
Soon, with the huge pit as the center, the wheel prints spread crookedly towards the surroundings.
Charles, who was sitting in the co-pilot, frowned slightly and looked at the strange scenery outside.
After coming to this world, he has always had a doubt in his heart, that is, what is the purple in the sky and where does it come from?
According to the people who passed through the giant pit fortress, this purple light has always been in the sky and has never been extinguished.
The blind vampire Orderic didn't catch fire, and the light didn't kill the Dihai people, so this meant that the light wasn't the sun, it was some kind of reflected light.
But it is very uncertain at the moment, after all, he is not even sure whether this is the earth, and maybe the stars of this planet are emitting purple light.
Just as he was thinking about this question, the mountain peak that he had seen once before slowly appeared in front of him.
"Captain! How do we go next?" Dipper, who was driving ahead, poked his head out of the car window and asked. With his strengthened body, he has easily learned to drive.
"Find a way to go around, our goal is over there." Charles said.
The so-called Wangshan ran dead horse, when they drove to the bottom of the mountain, two hours had passed.
When the car drove them around the mountain, Charles saw the mark left by the God of Light and the chains that the Pope used to pull the God of Light.
But Pope Ledger, who was supposed to be lying in it, disappeared without a trace
Hearing Charles' order, Di Pu immediately jumped out of the car and carefully observed the traces. "Captain, there is only a lying mark of a child here, and there are no extra traces around."
"The pope can fly, and if he does go, he won't leave a mark."
Looking at the traces in front of him, Charles thought about a question, that is, where can the pope who has broken down emotionally go?
The god he believed in all his life died suddenly. He didn't commit suicide on the spot. Charles was already surprised. Now he can still run and move?
Moreover, Ancha Island did not receive any report, which meant that he did not return to Earthsea.
"The captain...maybe...he was killed by...something on the surface..." the first mate Bandage reminded Charles.
Charles, however, said he did not agree with this possibility. "It's impossible with his strength. Even if there is something on the surface that can kill him, it's impossible to be so silent. There should be traces of battle and footprints of the enemy."
Charles looked at the vast Gobi Desert, pointed to the deep traces dragged by the God of Light and said. "Everyone get in the car and walk along the traces to see where Ledger dragged the God of Light."
The car started quickly and kept driving along the slipped track. This is a full two days.
Even Charles couldn't help but be shocked by Ledger's perseverance when he saw the trace and couldn't see the end at a glance.
He actually relied on the strength of his body to forcefully drag the God of Light to that position. Maybe if he was given a little more time, the God of Light might really be able to return to Earthsea.
In the early morning of the third day, Charles let go of the steering wheel, stuffed Lily on his shoulders into his arms, leaned directly on the co-pilot seat, and began to rest with his eyes closed.
However, before he squinted for a while, a sudden brake of the car woke him up. "Captain! Look outside, there is a giant! A giant as big as a mountain!"
