Chapter 449 Family

As Charles hovered at the dome 500 meters to the right of the giant gate, he saw those things clearly.

Those were some broken stone pillars. Judging from the situation above, the Foundation built an upside-down city on them.

If this upside-down city is still there, it must be very magnificent. Unfortunately, with the passage of time for so long, there are only some ruins left in the current city.

"Huh?" Charles, who found something, climbed onto a pillar and looked carefully. The sharp cut on it was very unusual, and it was not a gap formed by natural weathering.

This kind of cut reminded him of his former enemies, those giant praying mantises hanging upside down on the outskirts of New Territories.

This inverted city did not fall by itself, but was destroyed by those praying mantises.

"It seems that those praying mantises probably have other colonies on the entire dome. I hope they won't cause trouble when we go up next time."

Charles quickly observed for a while, and after seeing that there were no other clues, he retracted his wings and flew back quickly.

"Captain? What did you find up there?" Dipper asked curiously.

But he found that his captain seemed to be in a low mood, and he didn't seem to want to talk to him too much.

"Stop talking nonsense, pull the anchor and set sail." Charles said this, turned and walked towards the captain's cabin.

After looking at the pitch-black sky in surprise, Dipper immediately raised his foot and kicked Norden's calf next to him, "Did you hear that? The captain ordered the anchor to be pulled."

"Yes! As ordered!!" Norden yelled tensely, and quickly rushed towards the windlass.

Di Pu shook his head helplessly. It seems that this kid's habit will take some time to change.

After giving some instructions to the remaining veteran sailors, Dipper turned and walked towards the cockpit.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the second officer at the helm, Kenona, drinking wine, "Dude, this is your squad now, how dare you still drink?"

"Just one sip, the waves are a bit big, and I'm a little dizzy." The finance minister of Hope Island, Kenona, said, putting the bottle into his arms.

Compared with the young man a few years ago, his stomach is already swollen now, and with a beard on his mouth, he looks like a rich middle-aged man.

"If the captain catches you, you will die." Dipper gloated while looking at the chart hanging on the wall.

"What's wrong with the previous second officer? Why did the captain suddenly ask me to get on the boat for a while, I haven't touched the steering wheel for many years." asked the former second officer Kenona.

"Feuerbach is seriously injured, the captain told him to rest."

Kenona sighed a little. He looked at the sailors who were busy on the deck and said: "It seems that except for the old faces, the crew has changed again, and even Lily is gone. I still remember her standing on the table and stamping her feet with me. How cute they are arguing."

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the cabin suddenly became a little depressed.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these unhappy things, I heard that your wife recently gave birth to a son?" Di Pu casually changed the subject.

When mentioning his newborn child, Kenona suddenly showed a faint smile on his face. "Yeah, he's cute, you know, little Jim doesn't wake up at night when he sleeps, and..."

"Hey~ Forget it, I can't talk about this kind of topic with you. Only when you really have your own child will you understand the different feeling."

While chatting with Dipper, Kenona controlled the ship to drive towards the designated coordinates.

There are still about seven days' voyage from this island to the destination. If he finds the so-called key, his mission will be completed.

When the clock on the wall turned to 12 o'clock, Bandage and another old sailor entered the cockpit, and Dipper and Kenona got off work.

As the boatswain, Dipper doesn't have his own room, but he has a separate compartment, so at least he has his own private space.

Without his wife's urging, Di Pu didn't even bother to wash up.

He planted his head on the pillow and immediately closed his eyes. Dipper's sleep quality was very high. After only a few seconds, the sound of his long breathing was remembered in the room.

After an unknown amount of time, the drowsy Dipper slowly returned to consciousness, as if he had returned to the city of deep divers in the abyss.

My family members surround me, whispering to me constantly. "Dipper... Come here... The Familiars want to summon you... We need your help..."

In his sleep, Dipper frowned and shook his head. He struggled desperately, but his family became more and more entangled, and finally merged with his body.

"Dear brother... As a deep diver... you cannot escape... this is our fate..."

In the dark deep sea, Di Pu saw a pair of extremely terrifying scarlet giant eyes suddenly appearing in front of him, glaring at him angrily.

Dipper suddenly opened his eyes in shock, and the light from the oil lamp on the table next to him quickly brought his rationality back to reality.

After realizing that it was just a nightmare, Dipper, who was out of breath, heaved a sigh of relief.

He sat up from the bed, took out his pocket watch and looked at it.

When I found that I had only slept for more than three hours. When he was about to fall asleep again, a row of wet footprints at the door made his body tense up instantly.

Those are very special footprints, except for deep divers, human beings can't step on such footprints at all.

For a moment, Dipper felt a chill hit the back of his head, and he stood up immediately and rushed out of his cubicle.

There are no footprints in the corridor outside, as if those footprints appeared out of thin air.

After thinking for a moment, Dipper immediately rushed towards Charles' captain's cabin.

As soon as he slid down the iron stairs to the third floor, he saw his captain rushing out anxiously from behind holding a flesh and blood revolver.

"Bosun, catch up quickly. The mouse told me that something is on board, something from the bottom of the sea, and the smell is very bad."

Hearing this, Di Pu showed a bit of bitterness on his face, "Captain, maybe I know what those are, they are my family, and they have come looking for me."

Hearing Di Pu's words, Charles's expression was unusually solemn. He understood what the other party's words meant. This was a major matter related to the life and death of the entire ship of the Narwhal.

Charles quickly rushed to the cockpit and said to the helm officer: "Notify the following, the turbine is directly overloaded! Something is following us underwater! Get rid of them immediately!"

Thick smoke came out of the chimney, and the speed of the Narwhal rapidly increased.

Charles pushed Dipper sharply and roared, "Don't be stupid, go! Wake everyone up and let them take up arms!"

Dipper nodded immediately and rushed out quickly.

Looking at the dark sea in front of him, Charles frowned tightly. He didn't know what the other party's purpose was this time, but it was obvious that they didn't just come here to make friends.
