Chapter 349 News from Shadow Island
Mo Tie did not accept visits from other leaders of Bilgewater. They were all thick men and he was not interested.
After settling down eight children, he came to the street to inquire about those who were willing to lead the way to Shadow Island.
Everyone was so scared that they trembled when they heard the name of the island. They pushed Mo Tie away in front of them and ran home.
"What's going on? Why do they look like they are so damn?" Mo Tie felt inexplicably.
Saeko said thoughtfully: "Maybe, the things on Shadow Island are no different from ghosts."
Mo Tie remembered the heroes from Shadow Island, the Death Singer, the Soul Shepherd, the Soul Lock Warden... OK.
"What should we do?" he frowned. "How can we go without anyone leading the way?"
"Do you want to try the detective Transformers? This is no longer Shurima." Saeko made a suggestion.
"Okay, give it a try."
Saeko waved her hand, and a stream of light flew into the sky and headed towards the sea.
The reconnaissance plane did not fly to a height of 1,000 meters and began to scan the surrounding area, circling the sea around Bilgewater at a cruise speed, and continued to go outward.
Mo Tie and Saeko took this opportunity to revolve around the city on the island.
It is indeed the city of chaos, pirate shacks, harbor rat roads... The materials here are extremely scarce, and there are sea monsters that make waves outside the sea compressing the waterways between Bilgewater and the mainland. Every product transported here contains high added value, which can't be afforded for the local poor.
As a result, pirates with high risk and high returns became the main force of consumption, but in fact, their attitude towards goods is ambiguous. After all, why do they have to pay for things that can be snatched by their ability?
Under such a vicious cycle, Bilgewater became increasingly scarce, and even fresh rat meat on the market is a precious ingredient.
"You didn't eat the food in the hotel, right?" Mo Tie looked at the corpse of the rat placed on the meat stall and asked Saeko.
"……No."
Apart from business, people here do not have the habit of farming. After all, there are mountains and rocks, and the mudflats and plains are not enough to live in, so how can there be free land to grow vegetables? Moreover, the environment of the island is dangerous, with storms and rain and snow often coming, and the cost of planting is far beyond robbery and trade.
"This is not a suitable place to live," Mo Tie concluded.
Indeed, Bilgewater was just a stop for a transfer at the beginning. After the first group of pirates occupied this place, they reached their current scale.
"No wonder Sarah said this is not a place to live."
...
Half a day later, the reconnaissance plane sent back the screen.
A sea filled with black mist appeared, and no seabirds or swimming fish were heading in that direction. For living creatures, it seemed like a dead place.
Moreover, it is slowly spreading!
"Go in and take a look." Mo Tie ordered.
"Yes, sir."
The reconnaissance plane rushed in.
The screen suddenly disconnected and all communications were interrupted.
Mo Tie's eyes turned dark and there was no information left.
"Well, what's going on? It's the same effect as Nortilus' ultimate move."
Saeko closed her eyes and contacted the reconnaissance plane through the "population component".
"San San, we can only know through the system that the body is not damaged, but all communications have been cut off. The host's intelligent response is slow and disappears, and there is no response to the signals I send." Saeko opened her eyes and said.
"Well... give it full autonomy." Mo Tie thought for a while and said.
This reconnaissance aircraft is a primary intelligent Transformer without an independent personality. After Saeko has given it all permissions, it can make the best choice based on its surrounding environment. Although it is limited by the aircraft model and its firepower is not strong enough, it still has self-protection capabilities.
Before the host intelligence disappears, it should be able to collect some information about Shadow Island.
As for the spreading black fog on the sea, Mo Tie had no idea, so he could only ask the people here.
When he arrived at the "Good Luck Bar", as soon as he entered the door, Lei Wen discovered the guests he was waiting for.
"Sir, here!"
Lei Wen shouted loudly.
Mo Tiexun looked at the sound of the young man beside Sarah was sitting in the corner by the window, waving to it.
"Have you been waiting for us?" Mo Tie and Saeko sat down and asked.
"Yes, sir. Although it is a bit offensive to say this, you can't move in a short while without the help of the host." Lei Wen smiled mysteriously.
Mo Tie asked without comment, "Where is your boss?"
"Soon, it's on the road." Lei Wen said.
"Squeak."
Amid the noise of the tavern, the sound of the door opening and closing was covered up, but Mo Tie knew that it was Sarah who came in.
Sure enough, Miss Doom, dressed as the Empress, Sarah, bypassed behind Mo Tie and sat opposite him.
"You are finally here." Sarah said with a calm expression. "I will introduce it first. My name is Sarah, Bilgewater's bounty hunter; his name is Raven, my subordinate."
"Well, you can call me...Mo Tie, this is my lover, Saeko." Mo Tie is not sure if there is a saying of "girlfriend" here. If you just say "student", Saeko might be angry.
Saeko glanced at Mo Tie, and she sensed his hesitation about the name in his heart.
Ho, man.
Sarah said expressionlessly: "Okay, Mr. Mo Tie, tell me why you are here, and I can help you."
Mo Tie nodded and said honestly: "I want to go to Shadow Island. I heard there are routes here."
As soon as this sentence was said, the people in the entire Good Luck Bar were quiet. Whether it was the sailors who were fighting or the gangsters who were fighting, they all stared in shock.
Mo Tie looked around and found that the reactions of these people were similar to those he encountered when he was inquiring outside. The only difference was that they were not scared to hide home.
Sarah and Raven were also sitting there, their faces were pale and pale.
Lei Wen's hand unconsciously held the scimitar on his waist, as if the knife could help him a lot.
"Bang!"
A shaking glass fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, awakening the people in the tavern.
The guests came to their senses, restless, and soon left, leaving only the table of people by the window in the bar.
"Old...Boss?" Raven looked at Sarah carefully.
Sarah took two deep breaths, as if she broke free from the sea of great fear. She considered this issue when she killed Planck, but she didn't expect that when she really faced her reaction was still not qualified enough.
"There are many people here, let's talk differently." Sarah took a sip of wine, forced herself to calm down, and said.
There are so many people? Mo Tie looked at the tavern where there was no one anymore, and his mouth twitched.
