Chapter 565: The Unknown Fear
"Hurry, faster." The pirate urged frantically, appearing very anxious, and the captain was also nervous, sweating profusely. "Impossible, we’re already moving at top speed."
Watching the heavy fog rolling in, swallowing up the island in front, the pirate’s heart sank instantly, but he still clung to a glimmer of hope, "Never mind anything else, keep moving forward, even if we hit an island, just keep going."
The captain gritted his teeth in silence, he didn’t know why the pirates were so eager to get ashore, but it surely had something to do with this thick fog.
The overwhelming fog rolled in, consuming the island, then the cargo ship. In that moment, everyone’s heart seemed to stop, and some even shuddered.
The freighter sailed through the fog, with the captain’s palms sweating out of anxiety. He had no idea what they might hit going at this rate, and it was highly possible that they would run aground as they approached the island.
However, after sailing for a long time, the cargo ship was still moving forward, and no obstacles were visible ahead, which was surprising. As he remembered, before the fog set in, the island that the pirates were heading to wasn’t too far from the cargo ship. Practically speaking, they should’ve encountered it after sailing for such a long period.
The captain was thinking that perhaps due to the fog and the inability to see clearly ahead, a deviation in their course had taken place, causing them to miss the island entirely.
The pirate’s breathing became heavier involuntarily, and his entire body tensed up. He repeatedly checked if the main door was closed. Some pirates aimed their guns out the window, on high alert as if expecting some dangerous circumstance to jump out from the fog.
Meanwhile, Gu Fan, peering out of the window, noticed the vast expanse of white outside. He felt it quite strange; the weather forecast hadn’t predicted heavy fog tonight. This fog seemed to have appeared suddenly and mysteriously.
