05. Desperate

She was shaking slightly, as if her feet were unsteady.

But then everyone discovered that it was them in the boat that was shaking.

The transparent bridge stood very stable. Her ankles were submerged in the water. She breathed a sigh of relief, pursed her thin lips and took a step forward.

The ripples disturbed the calmness of the sea, and everyone followed her two or three meters away with frightened eyes.

Chishen hesitated for a moment, then stepped into the water and submerged himself up to his ankles. Alarmed by the sound, Transparent Bridge turned back, looked at each other and nodded slightly.

In the Transparent Bridge plan, they will sail eastward to the nearest sea-viewing cliff.

The boat was supposed to go there, but now it stopped here.

The Transparent Bridge has gone seven or eight meters away from her route, and Blazing God, who is walking to the other side, has also gone four or five meters away.

For some unknown reason, the transparent bridge that was still moving forward paused for a moment, then lowered its figure and returned the same way, and made a gesture to everyone.

That means finding something strange.

"Come down." When she stepped back three meters, she lowered her voice and spoke.

The remaining people looked at each other, moved to the bow of the boat and stepped out.

The cold seawater seeped into the shoes, making people shiver uncontrollably. The outstretched leg seemed to be testing the bottomless abyss. Fortunately, it didn't take long - the foot stepped on something hard.

Standing on the sea of ​​fog, they did not dare to move. The Blazing God on the other side was also retreating.

"There is an outline in the fog ahead. I can't tell what it is. But the sanity value has not dropped." Transparent Bridge said briefly.

She found that her sanity value had no longer decreased after setting foot here. Although it had not recovered either.

Chi Shen squatted down and groped for the bottom of the water. After a while, he stood up straight and shook off the water from his hands: "There is always a reason why the boat sent us here."

Transparent Bridge's eyes subconsciously fell on the wooden boat behind everyone, only to see the wooden boat swaying away from them.

Shocked, I rushed forward from the transparent bridge to catch the wooden boat, but suddenly my feet fell away and I fell into the water!

Mu Su was clever and outspoken, so he stretched out his hand to pull her back.

The remaining people woke up as if from a dream, staring blankly at the boat that was far away and disappeared in the mist.

"My door bolt..." Mu Su felt aggrieved.

"I want to go back." Wen Xiang crossed his arms, feeling depressed.

Lord Grim thought of another boat and hurriedly said: "Maybe the people behind can help us?"

Transparent Bridge replied: "They may not survive until now. Even if they can, they will stop when they see our empty ship returning."

Regardless, they are left here.

And he might die here.

"Let's go and see what the outline is." Transparent Qiao casually squeezed the moisture from his clothes, said, and walked in front.

On the misty sea surface, a row of lonely figures walked forward.

Everyone saw the outline dozens of meters away, and the outline appeared as it moved forward.

It's not the lair or ruins of some imaginary being. It's a wooden house.

Wooden hut soaked in the sea.

Several people looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Wen Xiang asked: "So...this is the abandoned Wanghai Cliff?"

"It should be said that it was drowned."

The transparent bridgehead who was walking in the front didn't say anything. She suddenly stumbled under her feet and stumbled forward.

The team suddenly stopped moving.

"It's okay..." Transparent Bridge said as he stood firm. He frowned and turned around, reaching into the water to fumble around where he tripped. He lifted it up as if he was grabbing something.

A wooden board that was rotten, black, and swollen like a corpse was held up by her. A large amount of sea water dripped down from the board, like a sponge soaked in water.

This confirmed their previous speculation that this was probably Wanghai Cliff.

To avoid too much splashing and noise, the transparent bridge slowly lowers the planks.

"Let's go to the hut. If we can restore our sanity there, at least we'll have a place to stay."

Knowing that Wanghai Cliff is at their feet, the formation that was originally lined up and afraid of missing the mark gradually dispersed and gathered in front of the wooden house.

The window next to the door was gray and it was difficult to see clearly inside in the dim light.

Wanghaiya wooden houses are roughly divided into two types. One is a long house with several or ten rooms on the left and right sides of the corridor. The other is a single wooden house.

The wooden house here belongs to the latter.

The foundation and roots were soaked underwater. The transparent bridge reached out and pushed with some effort. The cabin did not shake significantly, but there were small ripples at the bottom.

She breathed a sigh of relief. At least she didn't have to worry about it collapsing.

Arriving in front of the door, Transparent Bridge stretched out his hand and pulled it, but when he saw that the door hadn't moved at all, he pushed it open.

Still useless.

Her heart sank. Could it be that the wooden house here is also an independent space and is not allowed to enter...

"Let me come." Chi Shen said in a deep voice.

Transparent Bridge nodded and gave up his position. Blazing God stepped forward and held the doorknob with both hands, using his muscles.

The swollen and stuck wooden door was slowly pulled open.

The sea water was stirred, turning turbid and dark, mixed with debris.

An unidentifiable smell penetrated everyone's noses, and it was not a pleasant smell.

"The smell of rotting corpses." Mu Su narrowed his black eyes and scanned the room sharply.

Everyone was shocked and didn't want to step in.

Transparent Bridge sighed and stepped into the wooden house with one sentence: "It's the smell of rotten wood in a closed space."

A wooden table was placed under the window, the oil lamp beside it had long since dried up, and the dirty dinner plate showed a pile of worthless black residue. A crooked chair was placed in the corner, and it was no longer possible to sit on it.

In the innermost part of the hut is a wooden bed, the mattress covered with mildew. The wardrobe at the foot of the bed faces the door.

"Sanity is rising."

Transparent Bridge turned around and said. Then he found that they stopped outside the door and did not come in.

"What's wrong."

Musun pursed her lips, gesturing for her to raise her head.

Transparent Qiao, who had an unknown voice, raised her head, and an invisible hand suddenly grasped her heart, sending a chill straight into her mind.

Countless black shadows were lying on the ceiling peeping, and above their heads, several black shadows stretched out their palms to grasp the transparent bridge.

"It's just mildew..."

Transparent Bridge regained consciousness and pursed her thin lips, still nervous.

She was really scared just now.

Black mold stains are all over the ceiling of the wooden house, like twisted and struggling strange shadows. Due to the long-term growth, they are several centimeters thick and appear to be three-dimensional.

No one would associate it with mildew at first glance.

Transparent Bridge, who is still afraid, pays attention to the status bar, and the sanity value has not been reduced.

At this time, Blazing God walked into the wooden house and went straight to the closet and opened it.

The closet was empty and there was a layer of water at the bottom. It was just an ordinary closet.

Since being flooded, this hut has lost its original function.

Except for sanity.

Several people entered the wooden house one after another. They picked up the moldy bedding and threw it to the corner of the bed in disgust after smelling the aroma, and then sat on the relatively clean bed board.

Transparent Bridge breathed out and looked at everyone in the room: "Strictly speaking, the boat did not take us to the wrong place..."

"How long are we going to stay here?" Lord Grim looked a little anxious.

Transparent Bridge replied: "Stay until a player passes by and is kind enough to help us."

"What if we transform this place?" Wen Xiang said with her unique optimism. "The chance of encountering a submerged Wanghai Cliff is very small. You also said before that the longer the time, the more likely it is because of someone

Something happened and the team was reduced in number. Our original purpose of going to sea was not to find a refuge overseas. How about...we build this place into a refuge?"
