Chapter 209 Skull Island mission, that's it?

"Seven years ago Hess and I were sailors on a Norwegian cargo ship..."

The cook gestured to the first mate, and the first mate continued: "We rescued a survivor of a shipwreck, and he had been floating at sea for several days."

At this point, the cook took over again: "Their ship crashed into a mysterious island in the west of Sumatra. The island is shrouded in fog all year round. He said that there is a huge wall. No one knows what age it is. When it was built, the wall was 30 meters high. After so many years, the wall is still extremely strong."

"Why did they build that wall?" the assistant asked again.

"The survivor said it was a monster, not an animal or a human, but a monster, living behind that wall." The chef said in a low voice.

Karl naturally didn't believe what the chef said. Monsters are not monsters. He is a director. Some second-rate directors like to shoot crude monster movies. What the chef said is the beginning of a standard monster movie.

"Come on, it's either a tiger or a lion, or a cannibal. At the beginning, they are mysterious. When the finale is revealed, people will find that they have been deceived."

Karl didn't believe it, but the assistant seemed to believe it, and asked tremblingly: "That person, that survivor, what else did he say?"

"No, when we went to see him the next day, he was already dead, and he stabbed himself in the chest." The cook shrugged and said.

Hearing this, Carl raised his hands up, "Oh, sorry, guys, you have to make up the story better, I'm a film director."

"Monsters, only in shoddy B-movies, your stories aren't scary at all."

Karl no longer planned to tell them, so he sorted out the documents and left.

"Hey!"

As soon as they walked out of the door, they were stopped by the first mate, "If you find Skull Island and go ashore with your friends and camera, don't even think about coming back. I hope you understand this."

After he finished speaking, Karl frowned, but said nothing and left the restaurant with his assistant.

All their conversations were heard clearly by Zhou Shu. He was watching the scenery from the bow of the ship, but this did not prevent him from "monitoring" the entire ship.

He has this ability.

It had been so many days since the Adventure had set out, and finally we heard information about Skull Island.

He was quite worried at the beginning, seeing the scores of other candidates rising day by day, while the boat he was on was swaying every day, and he couldn't even see the shadow of Skull Island.

He had the idea of ​​stealing the map, and the idea of ​​coercing all the crew members to drive directly there according to the map, but these ideas were banned by the assessment system as soon as he got up.

There is no choice but to watch other people's points rising every day, and the "01" representing him is always ranked last.

Later he lay flat, whatever he wanted to do.

And he also doubted whether the assessment system could read his thoughts, otherwise how would he know that he had the idea of ​​stealing and coercion?
This also troubled him for a few days.

However, after his tests, he found that the assessment system should have lower authority than the hunter system, and the "keywords" were really set, and only after these keywords were detected would they intervene.

After all, in the final analysis, the auxiliary system of each soldier is the system that will be with the soldier for a lifetime, and the depth of understanding must depend on it.

Not to mention Zhou Shu's system "Xiaoshou", it completely became a bug after combining with him.

Well now, Zhou Shu has finally "touched" Skull Island. I believe that after a while, he will be able to actually set foot on that island, and then proceed to the real assessment task.

In the following time, the Adventurer continued to move towards its destination, but it couldn’t find the legendary Skull Island no matter how hard it looked, because the map Carl got was too rough. It was fine to guide a general direction, but not the exact location.

So the plot is the same as the movie. The captain of the Adventure received a telegram from Old New York and learned about Carl's situation.

He asked Karl to confront him. Karl prayed, but it didn't work. The captain insisted on turning.

Zhou Shu did not interfere with this scene because it was a key turning point in reaching Skull Island.

They have already started to circle here. If the captain hadn't quit and had to go to the nearest place to hand over Carl, the Adventurer would not have entered the range of Skull Island.

Sure enough, just after turning the corner, the Adventurer plunged into the fog without much distance.

The Adventurer sounded its whistle, and a gust of wind blew over, blowing away the map that Carl was holding in his dazed hand.

Zhou Shu was standing downwind of him, quickly grabbed the map in his hand, then folded it up and handed it to him with a smile: "It's such a commemorative thing, don't lose it."

Karl took the map in a daze, looked at the fog that enveloped him, and then looked at Zhou Shu's blurry face. He suddenly said excitedly: "Fog, have you seen it? Zhou, it's fog!"

"That mysterious island, it's shrouded in fog all year round!"

Not only Zhou Shu and Karl were here, but also the playwright Jack. He also saw the thick fog, and then said: "Maybe it's just a coincidence. It is normal for fog to appear on the sea. After all, there is always a lot of water vapor on the sea."

This is not what Carl wants to hear. In the current situation, he can only pin his hopes on Skull Island.

As long as he can capture unprecedented wonderful scenes and make a powerful enough movie, he can hope that the former investors will drop the charges against him and even allow them to invest again. Everyone will cooperate and gain both fame and fortune.

So he insisted: "It's impossible. The fog here is different. I can already see it. I have a hunch that it is here!"

They were talking here. After the Adventure sailed into the foggy area, everyone was attracted. Carl found that his photography team had also come out, so he asked them to quickly get the camera.

Regardless of whether the current scene is useful or not, and whether it can be photographed clearly, let’s do it first.

Even if it’s dark when photographed, it’s still a real scene!

People who had nothing to do with sailing came out to see the spectacle. The captain in the wheelhouse became nervous. He said to a crew member: "Let the observation tower pay attention and let people measure the depth. I want to know all the conditions!" "

Now the outside is full of fog, and he can't see anything through the small glass of the cab, so he needs other assistance.

The crew took the order to deliver the order, and soon someone came out with the water depth measurement, and then threw it directly into the sea.

He kept reporting the depth of the sea, and Jimmy, a small crew member on the observation deck, kept looking around.

In the cockpit, the captain controlled the rudder, listened to the water depth report and said to the first officer: "Switch to low speed."

"Understood," the first officer immediately switched power, "The two planes are moving forward at a low speed."

After the switch, the first mate reminded: "Captain, you should stop the ship and wait for the fog to drift away."

"No, I will not leave my ship to the sea. I will break out of this fog." The captain turned the rudder and said firmly.

"The bottom of the sea has been measured! 8 meters!" someone shouted from outside.

Hearing this, the captain frowned and turned the rudder in another direction. The first mate shouted in shock: "Captain, we can't find the direction at all. You should stop it."

"No, you can't let it stop, continue to measure the water depth!"

The captain insisted on not stopping the boat, and the chief mate had no choice but to let them continue to measure the water depth.

"7 meters!"

"6 meters!"

"Turn out the lights, I want to see outside!" said the captain.

"Yes!"

The crew in the cockpit quickly turned off the lights to keep the cockpit dark and eliminate some reflections.

"3! The water depth is only 3 meters!"

With such a shallow water depth, the Adventure may hit the rocks and run aground at any time, and everyone became nervous.

Jimmy on the observation deck even widened his eyes and kept scanning around.

Suddenly, he seemed to feel something, and looked straight ahead of the Adventurer. There was nothing there, and it was still a fog.

But soon, he saw a huge black shadow shrouding the Adventure.

When the black shadow became clearer, he found that it was a huge black wall.

His heartbeat began to accelerate and his mouth opened. This was not a black shadow shrouding the Adventure. It was clearly the Adventure that had hit a huge wall!
"wall!"

"There is a wall ahead!!"

Jimmy's cry spread throughout the ship, and everyone heard it and looked ahead of the Adventure.

The captain was even more concentrated when suddenly the silvery white moonlight appeared, which seemed to dispel the dense fog, leaving only a thin layer of mist, allowing him to see the black city wall in front of him.

At that moment, all the hairs on his body stood on end.

He turned the rudder quickly, turned the rudder directly to the right, and shouted: "Turn off the engine!"

The first mate was also shocked and quickly turned off the engine.

Losing power, the Adventure began to slow down, but still hit the huge black wall. Fortunately, the captain's full right rudder worked, and the Adventure changed direction.

But looking at the huge black wall that was getting closer and closer, everyone lowered their bodies and grabbed hold of solid objects.

"boom!"

The Adventurer turned around, but the bow of the ship still hit it, and the ship stopped suddenly, causing many people to rush forward.

Fortunately, the boat did not go straight up.

But the waves between the sea and the cliffs are constantly churning. Whether the boat stopped or was swayed by the waves, the captain shouted again: "Start the engine and retreat at full speed, let's get out of here!"

"Yes, Captain!"

The propeller connected to the power again and began to reverse at full speed to take the Adventure away from the giant wall. The people on the boat swayed back and forth with the waves. Jack was shaken and lay on the side of the boat. Suddenly he saw a rock hitting the Adventure and shouted: "Reef! There is a reef!"

Jimmy had a clearer view from the lookout, and could see both sides: "There are rocks on the left!"

"There are also reefs on the right!"

"Captain, there are reefs everywhere!!"

Hearing his cry, the captain put the mate at the helm, and ran out to see for himself.

Zhou Shu was as stable as Mount Tai on the deck, and he just pretended to be holding on to a railing. At this time, An also ran out to check the situation. As a result, a big wave came and directly pushed the boat up and hit a large rock.

The hull of the boat tilted sharply, and when An was about to fall, Zhou Shu quickly took her into his arms.

"Be careful, Miss An."

Being embraced by Zhou Shu's strong arms, in this swaying big boat, An-Danlao felt unprecedented stability, blushing and said: "Thank you."

They were stable, but the whole ship and other people didn't feel safe. The surging waves brought the Adventurer into a big circle against the rocks, pushing the ship directly to the other side, and the turning rudder didn't work at all. , the waves are now the greatest driving force and direction of the Adventurer.

Relying on the strength of this wave, the Adventure sailed left and right in this sea full of rocks, and finally stopped when its side hit a huge rock.

Seeing this situation, the captain decisively turned off the engine.

If the waves continue, the Adventure will definitely be torn into pieces by the waves and rocks. It is better to stop on this reef for a while.

By this time, the fog had gradually dissipated, and the sky seemed to brighten up.

People found that the surrounding things were not natural reefs at all, because there was a huge human face on each reef protruding from the sea, making the whole reef look like a huge rock head.

Not far ahead is a huge continuous high wall, like the spine left by a huge creature lying on the mountain.

This scene shocked everyone's hearts.

But now is not the time to admire the wonders. The Adventure ran aground on the rocks, and many big holes were knocked out of the hull. The crew needed to repair them quickly, otherwise they would never leave here.

And while the crew was repairing the ship, Karl also moved.

He gathered the camera team and actors, as well as the script writer Jack, released a lifeboat and rowed to Skull Island.

All his hopes were pinned here. Now that he had found it, it was impossible not to land on the island.

Moreover, just from the outside, I was shocked by the spectacle. There might be something more shocking inside.

Everyone could predict that they were going to be popular!
With such a stunning landscape as the backdrop, their movie is sure to be a hit.

As the discoverers of one of the last mysterious places on Earth, they would set themselves on fire.

If they write another adventure book, they can become more popular and make a lot of money by the way.

Even in their later years, they can write memoirs and sell them for money!

So there was no need for Kaldor to say anything, they got excited by themselves.

As for Zhou Shu, the moment he clearly saw Skull Island, his mission was finally updated.

[Candidate: Recruit Zhou Shu (in assessment...)]

【Virtual Battlefield: "King Kong"】

[Assessment task: Kill the monsters on Skull Island and get the first place in the scoreboard. 】

[Spirit: 2.99 (under restriction)]

[Strength: 2.99 (limited)]

[Sensitivity: 2.99 (limited)]

[Endurance: 2.99 (limited)]

[Physique: 2.99 (under restriction)]

[Special Ability: Strong Life Force Field (Level 59%)]

[Weapon application: gun use (66% proficiency), powered exoskeleton operation (45% proficiency)]

To be honest, Zhou Shu was a little disappointed when he saw this new task.

He thought there would be some kind of mission, but this is what happened?
According to his imagination, at least the survival of the people on the Adventurer must be guaranteed. While ensuring the survival of human beings, they must also get as many points as possible, which is called difficulty.

As a result, the task was updated, and there was no human business at all.

In the assessment system, the life and death of these dozens of humans is not a big deal at all, and killing monsters is a serious matter.

However, if you think about it from a larger perspective, or calculate it in terms of pure value, it seems right. Directly eliminating the source of the disaster is indeed more valuable than saving a dozen people.

Moreover, this time is the assessment for new recruits to be promoted to warriors. After all, they are considered low-end combat power among super warriors. It is really difficult for them to come up with a plan that has the best of both worlds.
