Chapter 814 The Nautilus
He shook his bald head helplessly, Hank wiped his oil-filled hands, patted them by the way, summoned the attention of several people, and then said, "No matter these things, the animals on the island should try not to hurt them. Let's go back to the camp first. ∈↗,"
The others naturally had no objection. They had already experienced a thrilling escape trip on the mysterious island. What's more, Sean and Karani were just young people who had just left their youth. In addition, Karani's father Budo has a natural supporting role in the movie, so the group naturally led by Hank, although the captain was Budo.
The Nautilus was covered with moss and vines. Although it had only been stranded here for a few days, it looked like it had been a century. The speed of the vines growing wildly was amazing. If it weren't for cleaning it every day, I'm afraid that even the entire submarine might have been wrapped up and dragged into the cave by them.
"Hehehe, man, be careful, be careful." When Shaun left, his feet slipped. Hank hurriedly grabbed him, and then said anxiously. The surface of the Nautilus naturally became extremely slippery due to the appearance of moss, and it would slide into the water if you were not careful.
It is not a problem to get wet your clothes. The real scary thing is that they don’t know what is in the water.
When they first stranded on the island, the group had just come out of the submarine and found an extremely huge monster lurking in the bottom of the water. It was so huge that it was almost as big as the first half of the Nautilus. You should know that the Nautilus was as tall as seventy meters high, and even half of it was more than thirty meters long.
The length of more than 30 meters is simply incredible and even very terrible for these New Yorkers living in a peaceful world. Even the giant lizards they encountered on the mysterious island were only seven or eight meters.
This monster not only has a terrifying length, but also has an equally terrifying appearance. Its head is strange, square like a large scale. It is integrated with the branches of the body. It can even be said that if it were not for the direction it swings when it left the way forward, Sean and others could not tell where it was the head and where it was the tail.
This was their initial experience, so these people immediately realized that the island in front of them was probably not a kind place, or even... a normal place.
But this is not bad. It is better to realize the terror of the island earlier than not knowing what you are facing. The unknown is far more terrifying than the known fear.
What they encountered then made people stay away from the water source. On the next day, while they were exploring along the flow of Lake Hu, an unlucky guy was unfortunately frozen.
Yes, it was frozen. Near the big lake where the huge Garen ship was discovered, they found many small animals frozen in ice. Although they were strange, they didn't know what was going on.
Until a bad guy in the exploration team accidentally stepped on a puddle, he was frozen into ice in an instant.
And they are still frozen until now, and even this ice cube has not seen any drops or melting in the sun for a day. They can't figure out whether this unlucky guy who is frozen is dead or still alive.
You should know that when it is frozen instantly, people are likely to be in a state of fake death.
But there is no doubt that no one has dared to approach this lake since then, and even the forests have rarely entered. Do you know what strange things are inside.
If the surface of the submarine was not required to be cleaned regularly, no one would come to this place.
Sean and Hank jumped out of the submarine cleverly, and then turned into a path with Karani. Not long after they arrived on the island, they stepped out a path from the edge of the forest, which was the only one.
Because the plants in the forest are different from other places, some grow very fast. There are even many aggressive ones that cannot directly kill people, but if plants such as vines hang people in the air, it is basically a matter of death.
So few people are close to the forest. Even if they all know that if they want to survive better, they need to explore this unknown island in depth. Instead of staying near the beach and waiting for rescue, this forest is too dangerous. Compared with their own lives, food shortage seems to be less important.
The only person who can safely enter and exit the forest and is only at the edge of the brink is only one of the victims, named Belgriers. According to his self-introduction at the time, he seemed to be a master of survival in some kind of show.
But to be honest, Sean didn't know much about the passenger list on this batch of Nautilus, and even Captain Budo may not know much about it, because it was a raffle trip, an event held to celebrate Budo's first anniversary as Captain Nautilus.
They draw in the newspaper, and the lucky ones will receive tickets for ships given with the newspaper, with tickets of one person and multiple people. Obviously, Bell came in this way, and there were several people, as for the others, they were local tourists from Palau.
Although he attracted many tourists through the Nautilus, Budo not only had the money to support Karani in college, but also made their lives richer, but he still did not go to the big city, but continued to choose to stay in Palau. After all, this is where everything began.
"Stay away from me! You clumsy guy."
"Hey! Why are you trying to hit someone!"
The four of them approached the beach camp. Before they could completely walk out of the forest, they heard the sound of quarrels not far away. Along with the sound, there was a strong waving smell, which was mixed with a certain kind of meat fragrance in addition to the aroma of wine.
It seems that it was the reindeer that Bell caught, and it probably has become a barbecue on the fire.
However, when hearing the quarrel in the camp, except for Budo, who still maintained an optimistic smirk, all the other three changed into helpless expressions. Such quarrels have not been a day or two, but have been going on for a long time, and they have even been quarreling in the submarine.
"So you, you look like an idiot!"
"Who do you say is like an idiot?!"
Hearing the quarrel escalating, Hank quickly jumped out of the forest and stopped it loudly, "Hehehe! Guys, don't make a noise. If you are so energetic that you have nowhere to vent, there is still a whole surface of vines on the Nautilus that have not been cleaned."
Hank's big body and big muscles still had a good effect. Several young people who were gathering together and pulling began to separate from each other, but still stared at each other with angry eyes, as if they were about to bite off a few pieces of meat.
The people around him had different expressions. There was an Asian girl who was quarreling indifferently, and two middle-aged couples who had been persuading the fight. Finally, they sat next to him and looked after Bell who was barbecued on the fire. He was indifferent to what happened here and vowed to roast the venison into the smell of chicken.
Of course, there are not only these people on the Nautilus, but only these people are in the camp at this moment. There are still a few people who are not here.
Sean, who was following Hank, naturally saw these scenes, but although the crowd was arguing, Sean felt a little relaxed.
After all, only here can he feel the normal taste, and it is the only normal place on the island.
There are no crazy plants, no puddles that will freeze people into ice, and no branches and monsters with a size of more than thirty meters, eyes, nose, mouth, or even skin.
However, not all the passengers on the Nautilus this time were normal. For example, Bell, he looked very calm and calm. If he wasn't very sure there was no camera at this moment, Sean even suspected that he was doing a live show.
There is also a pair of young girls from Brooklyn, New York City, blond and black hair, who seem to turn a blind eye to the dangerous forests and dilemmas around them, maintain a surprisingly optimistic attitude, speak amazingly vicious tongues with each other, or spill venom on others.
Sometimes Sean even feels that he is watching dramas rehearsals of drama actors. They simply regard this place as a natural vacation, but of course, he still admires this optimistic attitude very much.
But there are also very normal passengers, such as these students from Bruce University who came to vacation. When they learned that they were trapped on a deserted island, they were not only afraid, but also felt a lot of stimulation and freshness.
This is the thinking that a normal person should have. Deep in his heart that no one can hear, Sean kept roaring.
He himself didn't feel anything to be afraid of the current predicament. After all, it was not the first time he had been trapped in an unknown or even undiscovered primitive island or forest.
What's more, Hank's ability to become a temporary leader is not just based on his muscles. He was born in the former elite navy and not only had rich experience in surviving in the wild, but also familiar with the development of islands. If it weren't for this small island, it would be obvious that they could not use common sense to infer, they would probably have lived in a wooden house at this time.
Just as Sean was thinking in his heart, Budo ran to Bell with a greed look on his face and squatted. Even Hank felt a little fussed under the temptation of the fragrance.
The prey that Bell calls is their only source of meat. Otherwise, they will always eat fruits and fish, which will be fine if they are short, but they will feel uncomfortable over time.
After understanding these principles, Hank also squeezed out a smile on his face, and then followed him to Bell with his huge body, "Is this a deer in the forest?" He flipped over another piece of dismantled venison and asked in a low voice.
"It should be." But Bell's answer was not very confirmed. He shrugged and had a casual smile on his face. "But I have never seen a deer running so fast before, and it was gone in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, they were just deer after all, and they could not escape the trap I made."
"You actually dug a trap." Hank actually fought, and then he was a little confused. He also briefly learned about Bell not long ago. He had served in the British Airborne Secret Service, but now he has retired.
However, his survivability is not lower than himself, and it is even higher. Animals that can make Bell feel very fast may not be average.
Thinking of this, Hank couldn't help but have a headache, "Are you sure this is just a deer?" He confirmed to Bell again.
"Of course, otherwise it could be anything else." Bell said indifferently.
Hank grinned, thinking that it seemed to make sense, but the next moment, his expression frozen, because on the piece of meat he was flipping, an organ that was obviously like a horn, and a one-horn appeared because of the contraction of the oil. It seemed that the relationship between young people had not yet developed.
But if this reindeer-like body shape is still not developed... then how big is this adult animal?
But Hank quickly threw his worries behind his head, because they were just animals after all. Just be careful of the large beasts in the forest, and there would be nothing scary after knowing it.
While Hank was thinking about the situation of these people here, the bored Sean and Karani also found a seat to sit down. The two began to whisper together, but did not notice that a bigger conflict was brewing among the two groups of people who had just quarreled not far away.
“…oh, vomit!”
A girl's body in the crowd suddenly shook, and then suddenly spit out a large mouthful of vomit, spraying the filth all over the person next to her, and a pungent and unpleasant smell suddenly spread out.
"Oh! Oh my God!" the man was startled, screamed in fright, jumped up from the ground, and shouted at the girl angrily, "What have you done! You bitch!"
"How are you talking?" The girl's companions were immediately dissatisfied. They began to yell and stood up from their positions. "Didn't you see her feeling uncomfortable?"
"I'm not the boyfriend of this little ****, why should I care whether she feels comfortable?" The person who was vomited was obviously not for nothing, and immediately blocked her back with even worse words.
"If I ask me to tell her that she will not live long, you will not live long, but you brought the bad luck on the boat, otherwise why would we be trapped in this place!"
In addition to these young students, there are several young people. Obviously, their personalities and tempers are not very good, and they just speak out with a vicious look on their faces.
But...this is also related to previous experiences.
The conflict between the two people was not for no reason, because the former was not a passenger on the Nautilus at all, but was added halfway through.
The vomiting girl and her companion were really as they were driving the Nautilus, they accidentally discovered a wrecked ship and rescued the lucky ones. They heard that they were also students on vacation. Because the ship was overturned by big waves in the storm, they accidentally entered a small island.
They encountered some terrible things on the island and finally escaped, but they did not expect to encounter an irresistible storm once again.
In the idea of needing mutual assistance at sea, Hank and Budo easily decided to save them, but unexpectedly, their experience was not as simple as they said, and it also caused great trouble to the Nautilus.
