Chapter 160 The Sinking City



After watching the video repeatedly, Lu Ban was sure that there were indeed some buildings on the island.

However, the shapes of these buildings are extremely special. Unlike normal buildings, they are more like some kind of obelisk or twisted tower.

Under normal circumstances, architects would not build houses like this, let alone on a stormy sea. Such a house would be subject to greater wind resistance, and when a typhoon hits, it might shake or even collapse.

However, the island remained motionless in the wind and rain, regardless of the wind and rain, and the surging waves, only appearing and disappearing due to the heavy rain.

At the end of the video, as the waves surged, the boat left the vicinity of the island and disappeared below the sea level. No one knew what it was.

Lu Ban looked at the comments.

[Is there a house on this island? Does anyone live on it?]

[That's impossible. If there are people living here, there should be a port or something, and the captain should know what island this is.]

[This is normal. There are many islands in the ocean that are not marked on the map. This is probably one of them.]

[I have heard that some islands are usually located under the sea, and only float up due to tidal changes during certain special periods.]

[Could it be that this island was once inhabited, but sank to the bottom of the sea due to geological changes and only resurfaced recently? ]

[I saw experts say that this was caused by volcanic activity on the seabed. The volcano erupted and the magma gushed out of the sea and formed an island! ]

[Could there be any fishmen here? Is Atlantis here? ? ? ]

[Atlantis is in the Atlantic Ocean, but this is the Pacific Ocean! ]

Apparently, he was not the only one who noticed the abnormality of the island. People had different opinions, some even involved metaphysical things like Mayan civilization and crystal skulls, and the discussion quickly deviated from the main topic.

Lu Ban was not very interested in this kind of island in the sea. The reason why he paid attention to it was mainly because the "buildings" on the island gave him a weird and uneasy feeling, just like the tall tower made of flesh and blood he saw in the Ku Shui Town of the Kingdom of Night. It seemed like a projection of some evil and great will on this planet, full of indifference, grandeur, and cold texture.

“If you have the chance, you can go look for this island in the Pacific Ocean. Maybe you can get some inspiration.”

Lu Ban knew very well that even if strange things might attract each other, he might encounter all kinds of strange things if he stayed in Jiangcheng, but this world was extremely vast. If he wanted to know more about the secrets of this world, he had to go out of the house and contact the wider world. He could not get out by staying at home alone.

After looking at his phone for a while, Lu Ban put it down, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep to the melodious tunes of the Spring Festival Gala playlist.

South Pacific, Pohnpei Island, 'Stars' cruise ship, captain's cabin.

Captain Johnson Gustav had a nautical chart in front of him, and his eyes were filled with deep worry.

"Although we have received supplies, the storm on the route is still raging. It is unrealistic to cross the storm. Waiting for the storm to end will take several more days of sailing..."

There are many storms in the South Pacific in autumn. In the absence of land, these low-pressure cyclones will absorb a large amount of seawater, lowering their own temperature and forming one super storm after another that is rare on land.

This year's storm is particularly strong. According to the weather forecast Johnson received, the lowest temperature of the cloud layer in the center of the typhoon is even close to minus 60 degrees Celsius, which means that this storm will be unprecedentedly strong.

At present, Pohnpei Island is still outside the storm, but if you look far away, you can see the dark clouds in the distance and the deep purple lightning hidden in the clouds. Any ship that enters the storm at this time will be seeking death.

Not to mention, Captain Johnson saw that.

"I didn't expect to come across that island. It seems that Li was right this time. It's not advisable to travel."

He recalled the calendar his oriental wife looked at before the trip, which said "not suitable for travel". He scoffed at it at the time, but he never expected that it would come true.

If the "Stars" was just a cargo ship, Captain Johnson would at most worry about whether there were any tactless pirates coming to visit, but this is a cruise ship carrying 4,000 passengers, and the people on board need resources for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.

Now, the voyage is just halfway through. If the consumption continues like this, Captain Johnson will probably have to return home early.

Moreover, he encountered that "ominous island" in the storm.

This is a legend circulated among sailors traveling in the Pacific Ocean. Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, there is an island left by a prehistoric civilization. The island is usually submerged by the waves and located below the sea level. But at certain specific times, during huge storms, the island will emerge from the sea. Any ship that has seen the island will, without exception, encounter difficulties or even sink.

Captain Johnson did not believe this. He preferred to think that the island that was originally underwater was actually much larger than it looked, and that there were similar reefs on the seabed of that area of ​​water, which caused ships that saw the island to easily run aground, thus leaving behind such a legend.

"only……"

Perhaps due to the mental depression caused by the long voyage, several people on the ship, including the sailors, have shown signs of mental disorder, emotional instability and hallucinations. Captain Johnson decisively isolated these people and asked the ship's doctor to give them tranquilizers.

Some crew members began to spread the rumor that these people suffered misfortune because they saw the island, and for a time, people were in a panic.

All Captain Johnson wanted now was for the storm to subside as soon as possible so that they could reach their destination.

"I hope there won't be any more trouble."

He looked at the growing storm and sighed.

In the morning, Lu Ban opened his eyes and looked at the time. It was exactly eight o'clock.

The melody of "Let's Row the Boat Together" was still echoing in his ears. Surprisingly, Lu Ban did not feel chest tightness or shortness of breath. He lowered his head to look at his body, and the fog was gone.

Getting up and drawing open the curtains, Lu Ban saw the golden sunlight shining on the earth, leaving a dazzling scene. He went to the living room and soon understood why it was so refreshing this morning.

The two clouds of mist were pressing on Qin Tiantian's body like two sleeping cats. Qin Tiantian, lying on the sofa, had already kicked off the blanket that Lu Ban had kindly covered her with. The hem of her shark home clothes was lifted up, revealing her flat belly and belly button.

Her expression looked somewhat painful, perhaps she was having a nightmare!

Lu Ban called her.

“So heavy…”

Qin Tiantian muttered in his sleep.

The two clouds of fog remained motionless, still resting on Qin Tiantian's flight deck.
