Chapter 978: One of the only Survivors
A bird's-eye view of the Dark Continent, um, at first glance, a bit like a sanitary napkin.
Although I still can't tell the difference between the daily use and the night use, which one is more similar, but if you take a closer look, the overall outline looks more like a character representing infinite time.
A relatively special structure made the Dark Continent divided into east and west sides.
The currently known records of human voyages all go to the east of the Dark Continent, because all the existing information that humans have come from the east of the Dark Continent.
The so-called failure is the foreshadowing for success.
The Transit and Navigation Bureau has dispatched national-scale teams to challenge the Dark Continent many times. Without exception, they all failed disastrously. However, the sacrifices made in each crossing are not worthless. At least the verification and the reliability of the information are exchanged.
Based on this basis, the destination of this voyage is of course the more certain Dark Continent East.
Including Biyangde, they also failed to return from the east of the Dark Continent, and failed to bring the alchemy plant named Merion.
In common sense, wherever you fall, you must stand up.
The Ferry Bureau believes that the destination of Biyangde's voyage this time will be the east of the Dark Continent, but in fact, the place Biyangde wants to go this time is a place that no one has ever set foot on.
Therefore, the destination of the route chosen by Biyangde is the west of the Dark Continent.
Nitero had an insight into this, so he chose the landing site as the west coast of the Dark Continent.
Biyangde believes that the possibility of their team encountering the Transit Bureau team has become very low.
However, according to Pariston, it is inclined that the goal of the Transit Bureau itself may have always been a place where there is hope somewhere in the east of the dark continent.
A place where humans have failed to explore.
On the bow of the boat, Biyangde turned his head to look at the smiling and silent Pariston: "That man is also here, so the possibility you said has a high chance of becoming a reality."
"who?"
Biyangde's eyelids drooped slightly, and he said calmly: "Giles, the chief in charge of the International Transit Bureau's Licensing Department, is one of the only survivors like me, but he didn't leave a record."
"Giles?" Pariston was a little surprised,
Slightly bowing his head, he whispered to himself in his heart: One of them?
Bijande shifted his gaze, landed in front of him, and said: "Giles was responsible for one of the operations to explore the ancient labyrinth city. Of course, that operation also failed, and the records left showed that the team was completely wiped out, but Giles was actually the only survivor of the operation and I would not have wanted to meet him if the circumstances allowed."
Pariston maintained the smile on his face and asked, "Why?"
"Of course it's because he can't be provoked. His strength should be ranked among the top five in the world." Bi Yangde raised his head and laughed, frankly acknowledging Giles' strength.
"I see."
Pariston narrowed his eyes and said instead: "Since he is leading the crossing operation this time, then"
"That's right, their target is most likely the ancient labyrinth city, which is one of the five known hopes, the herb that can cure all diseases."
"For this purpose, why did the Transit and Navigation Bureau selectively ignore the potential threats that our operation might cause?"
"It's just weight. Isn't the result of the choice between high quality and low quality obvious?" Biyang De turned his head to look at the huge sea beast not far away, his gaze gradually became deep.
"Oh, yes," said Pariston.
The ocean-going ship passed through the territory of the horned sea beast leisurely, and continued towards the unknown and dangerous sea ahead.
As long as they follow the guide's guidance, human beings can safely shuttle through the areas where various elephants are located in the posture of ants.
The chosen route is always a subtle but extremely safe and extremely correct route.
This is also the reason why Biyang De and his party were able to ignore the sea beast that was close at hand.
The team composed of thousands of people with the ability to read is the big money that the Transit and Navigation Bureau has thrown out in this operation, and it has the momentum to win.
If the ship on which Biyangde's team was on was an ocean-going ship, then the ship on which the Ferry Bureau was on board could be called a sea carrier, and the size of the two was not at the same level.
On such a dangerous dark sea, the larger the ship, the more targeted it is in the eyes of various ferocious creatures.
It is true that the number of teams in the Ferry Bureau is more than a hundred times that of Yang De's team, but the choice of transportation does not seem wise.
In fact, the Ferry Bureau has blind trust in the guides, so it chooses such a means of transportation to increase the carrying space of materials and equipment.
"Witness?"
In the cabin room, a gentle man wearing gold-rimmed glasses sat at the desk, looking down at a piece of paper spread on the desk.
In the corner of the table, there are various materials piled up, which are all related to the ancient labyrinth city and other places where disaster and hope coexist.
Among them, he has read the information about the ancient labyrinth city countless times, and he can basically recite it backwards.
As one of the people in charge of this operation, this is what he should have done.
"These glasses can't bear the rest of the journey."
The gentle man looked away from the document, immediately took off the gold-rimmed glasses, put them into the glasses case, and then took out the special sturdy black-rimmed glasses from the soft cloth box next to him, and put them on firmly.
The man's name is Jim Carrey, a person with non-intellectual ability, and one of the persons in charge of the Transit Permit Office. He was recently transferred, or promoted.
It's just that he was barely familiar with the work, and he encountered the gold rush sparked by the Kajin Kingdom, which caused him to integrate into the work in the shortest possible time, as if he was being driven to the shelves.
Even if the front is full of danger, even if it is not surprising to die in the next second, as an ordinary person, Jim Carrey will not feel the slightest fear.
Because this is his duty.
If you have the time to be afraid of future changes, it is better to think about how to do your job better.
In another cabin with the lights turned off, only one candle was lit at the corner of the table.
The swaying firelight magnifies the back of the person at the table and reflects it on the wall.
The man's callused big hand was pressed on the table, and under the palm was a yellowed photo with only half of the contents exposed.
"Ah."
A deep laugh suddenly sounded.
Captain's cabin.
One of the guides summoned by Qingying stays here all the time, providing the direction of navigation for the person at the helm.
Here, there is no so-called automatic navigation, and someone must be here all the time, because the change of the route direction is often inadvertent, and it may change more than a dozen times in a minute, and it may only change once in a few hours. .
The guides are all sub-human monsters, with some human characteristics, but more like monsters.
The demi-human beast leading the way for the Transit Bureau had an eagle head. It stared at the screen showing the course, and a strange luster flashed in its amber eyes.
Can't be deprived of landing qualifications, can't be deprived of landing qualifications.
misleading, misleading
West of the Dark Continent, Hunter Association camp.
The dwarf opened his eyes. They were pitch-black pupils that filled the entire eye sockets, and he couldn't see the structure and difference between the whites of the eyes and the pupils.
Potterwhite didn't restrict the gnome's mouth so much that the first thing the gnome did when he woke up: screamed loudly.
"female?"
