After seeing the second island in the distance with his own eyes, Lu Xuan couldn't help but believe the parchment and the legend.
It now appears that, at least, the map on the parchment was not drawn randomly.
"Lu Xuan, this scene really looks like what's painted on the parchment scroll."
Shen Keyin obviously also noticed that this place was very similar to the half map.
"It seems that whether this legend is true or not is still difficult to judge, but this parchment map is very likely to be the topographic map of this deserted island. Let's go, we still need to consider this matter in detail. Let's get down from the rock wall and go to that ship to get down to business."
This time, climbing up the rock wall again allowed me to see the second island in the distance, which made the trip worthwhile.
But Lu Xuan knew clearly in his heart that the most important thing for today's trip was to find the socket wrench that Taylor urgently needed, so the matter of the parchment scroll had to be put aside for the time being and acted upon when the time was right.
Putting away the telescope and stopping admiring the beautiful scenery, the two returned to the south side of the rock wall, followed the familiar lower passage, and arrived at the west side of the rock wall again. What came into view was still the familiar stranded ship.
When Lu Xuan saw the ship again, he felt like he was meeting an old friend again.
I have to admit that if it weren't for this ship, I would hardly be able to survive until today.
Lu Xuan was a man who never forgot his roots. He bowed towards the hull to express his gratitude, but in his heart he was still expecting this old friend to bring him some more surprises.
"Keyin, why don't you stay down there? The cabin is tilting quite badly, so don't go in. It's just better to watch from outside. If anything happens, you can let me know immediately."
Lu Xuan was already very clear about the situation inside the ship, not to mention that many days have passed now. He was afraid that the situation inside the cabin would only get worse.
What's more, with the experience of the previous few times, Lu Xuan was also worried that two or three people would suddenly appear in the bushes, so it was quite necessary to let Chen Keyin stay outside to keep watch.
"Well, be careful. I'm not going anywhere. I'll just stay here."
Chen Keyin blinked at Lu Xuan, then obediently found a place with her back against the hull and sat on the beach.
Lu Xuan, carrying his backpack and the axe, climbed onto the deck swiftly, then entered the cabin as if he knew the way.
The cabin was still a mess, with all kinds of shelves, tables, chairs and benches piled all over the floor.
As usual, Lu Xuan inspected the hull and only started looking for the tools he needed after confirming it was safe.
From the stern to the bow, Lu Xuan searched carefully, almost dismantling the boat. However, apart from finding a few curtains, a few clean-looking towels and spare T-shirts, he didn't seem to find anything else useful, not to mention the ultimate goal of this trip - the socket wrench.
"Keyin, please keep these things for now."
Because his backpack was filled with various tools, Lu Xuan had no place to store these newly acquired things, so he simply threw them all to Shen Keyin who was under the hull for safekeeping.
All the places that needed to be searched in the cabin had been searched, and the only thing left was the hidden space that Leng Mengyao had paid special attention to.
Although Lu Xuan knew the approximate location of the hidden door, it took him a lot of effort to find it because there were so many messy objects in the cabin.
After spending some time cleaning the area around the door, Lu Xuan squatted down and opened the door hidden on the ground.
As soon as the door was opened, a musty smell hit my nose. It seemed that the room had not been ventilated for a long time, and the smell was really disgusting.
Lu Xuan thought that he was a person with a strong ability to resist strange smells. Even the smell on the bottom floor of his own yacht did not make him nauseous. However, he did not expect that the smell here was even worse than that place. Obviously, there was water seepage underneath, which caused such a strong musty smell.
In the end, Lu Xuan found a piece of cloth, cut off two small pieces with scissors, and stuffed them into his nostrils. Only then did he have the courage to go down to the bottom floor.
Fortunately, the original telescopic ladder, although rusty, was still usable.
Lu Xuan borrowed the ladder and successfully reached the hidden space.
After looking around, he found that due to the tilt of the ship, most of the unsecured supplies were still on his right side, which was the direction of the bow.
However, these supplies visible to the naked eye are basically items that are of little help to him. After all, the last time Leng Mengyao and I came here, we had already moved away all the supplies that needed to be moved away. What was left were either defective products or nothing at all.
There were several bags of opened and moldy instant noodles, several bags that looked very worn, and some strange-shaped iron-like objects.
I even found the corpse of a giant rat in the corner. It seems that the stench here is related to this thing.
Lu Xuan really had no interest in these things that could be seen with the naked eye.
After excluding these things, there is only the wooden cabinet fixed on the wall.
However, I roughly scanned these cabinets when I came here last time, and it seemed that apart from finding a reflective vest and a damaged fire flashlight, I didn't find any other useful items.
Lu Xuan still patiently opened these cabinets one by one, carefully exploring them inside and out.
Unfortunately, apart from being covered in dust, I didn't find anything useful.
"Oh..." Lu Xuan sighed helplessly, then sat down on those cold iron lumps in disappointment.
I struggled mightily against the incline, but not only was the crucial socket wrench nowhere to be found, not even a single decent tool could be found in this vast space. This futile effort left me feeling annoyed and defeated.
After a short rest, Lu Xuan got up from the ground again, returned to the telescopic ladder, looked around the space again, and examined the telescopic ladder again.
Or I might as well take down this telescopic ladder. It's useless in this broken place anyway. Only this ladder seems to have some use. I can take it back and use it.
With the idea of either not taking advantage of the situation or taking advantage to the fullest, Lu Xuan climbed up the ladder, rummaged through his backpack, and found a cross-type ladder. He thought of dismantling the telescopic ladder, packing it up, and taking it home. This would be the last contribution that this hidden space could make to him.
But just as Lu Xuan picked up the cross pick in his hand and prepared to dismantle the telescopic ladder, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him...
Then a familiar figure appeared in front of him...
