Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared
Chapter 651: It’s This Island

Chapter 651: Chapter 651: It’s This Island

The fog was thick while the two cargo ships slowly navigated through it. Everyone was on edge, expecting a possible attack at any moment. Especially the boss and Lin Xi, they were burdened with the responsibility of protecting everyone.

"I never thought we would cooperate one day." Gu Fan looked at the vast foggy sea and the silhouette of the ship trailing them, and couldn’t help but sigh.

Lin Xi made a suggestion: "How about we use the fog to shake off the boss?"

Gu Fan immediately refuted that idea. Firstly, without the boss, if they ran into Lisa and her group again, how would they deal with it? Secondly, such treachery might infuriate the boss who knows what he might do when he’s angry.

"Okay, forget I said anything," Lin Xi said. She glanced at Gu Ling who was standing on the deck and asked, "How about you, Xiaoling, do you sense anything?"

Gu Ling shook his head: "Nothing, everything seems normal."

"Really?" Gu Fan’s eyebrows furrowed. They had been sailing in the fog for some time, why hadn’t they come across Lisa and her gang? Maybe they’re on vacation.

However, Lu Yi said: "Well, women do have a few uncomfortable days, Lisa is also a woman, try to understand her."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xi, Su Hui, Qin Jia, and Gu Ling all rolled their eyes at Lu Yi.

Lu Yi instantly realized his blunder. He quickly covered his mouth as others shook their heads and sighed. Everyone was secretly nervous for him, they felt he was a doomsayer who would eventually get himself killed.

Suddenly, Gu Ling froze, her face a little panicked. The first to notice was Su Hui, who quickly asked: "What’s wrong, Xiaoling. Did you sense something?"

"Ahead, everyone be careful." Gu Ling’s words instantly raised everyone’s alertness.

Gu Fan picked up the walkie-talkie: "Hello, boss, I don’t know what we are about to encounter, but please be ready." After speaking, Gu Fan and Lin Xi ran to the bow of the ship, staring at the vast white world in front of them.

"Lin Xi, use your supernatural power to clear some of the fog," said Gu Fan, his gaze fixed in front, his palms already sweaty.

"Alright, I’ll try." Lin Xi formed a seal with both hands, pushed them forward, and a strong wind dispersed quite a bit of the fog in front of them.

At this time, Su Hui and Ouyang Jin also arrived. They could barely make out the silhouette of an island in the fog. However, there wasn’t supposed to be any island on this route according to the map.

Gu Fan picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Yes, we found it. The distance is about three hundred yards. Captain, calculate the distance. Don’t crash into it."

The captain assured them it wouldn’t be a problem, he will slow down and calculate the distance.

Lin Xi did not cast her spell for too long as she couldn’t expend too much of her supernatural power. She needed enough power to deal with any emergencies.

The ship was getting closer, and closer - two hundred meters, one hundred meters. Everyone’s heart was racing on edge. Now they could only trust the experience of the captain and the skills of the crew.

When they got about fifty meters away, everyone could see the shape of an island. At the same time, the ship stopped. It hadn’t crashed, which allowed everyone to breathe a sigh of relief, easing their frayed nerves.

"This..." Many people found the silhouette of the island to be somewhat like a demon, which shocked them. Gu Fan confirmed that this was the island he had seen at the bottom of the sea on his previous trip.

"My God, it really can move and surface. Things from the ancient Super Civilization are not simple." Gu Fan took a deep breath and said: "Since we are here, let’s make the best of it. We will land on the island. Everyone get ready."

"Going ashore, won’t we run into Lisa?" Lu Yi expressed his concerns, which were shared by everyone.

Qin Jia said: "Aren’t the Wandering Sea Ghosts unable to set foot on the island? What are we afraid of?"

However, Jie also worried: "This island is special, it’s Lisa’s lair. We have to be prepared for anything."

"Yes, it’s indeed possible." As soon as Gu Fan finished speaking, he saw another ship coming from the side. Although it was a bit far off, it was parallel to theirs. It was the boss’s ship.

The boss’s voice then came through the walkie-talkie: "Folks, I feel that you might be scared. It’s okay, how about we go first?"

Feeling underestimated, Jie was not happy: "What’s there to be afraid of? Since we’ve come this far, we must go take a look. We can’t be made a fool of."

"Yes, we’ve come this far to find the island, of course, we have to go." Gu Fan had decided to go ashore, but not everyone needed to go. Half of them would go, and the other half would stay behind.

As for who would go and who would stay, after a discussion, it was agreed that Lin Xi should stay behind and guard the ship to ensure everyone’s retreat route.

Gu Ling looked hopeful but Gu Fan decided to keep her behind too.

In the end, it was decided that Su Hui, Lu Yi, Jie, Ouyang Jin would accompany Gu Fan to the island and the others would stay behind.

Lu Yi looked distressed: "My god, I knew I couldn’t escape this. Alright, I accept my fate, but I still want to ask, can I not go?"

Xu Haowen then spoke up: "What’s going on? I didn’t accompany you, Gu Fan, into this adventure, just to stay in a safe place. I want to go to the island, I want to go see it. Lu Yi, can I go in your place?"

"Trade places? No, just stay here and behave." Although Lu Yi was complaining on the surface, he wouldn’t leave Gu Fan behind. Once Gu Fan decided to go, he would follow. This was more than just a bond of life and death, it had become a habit.

However, Xu Haowen wouldn’t budge - he clung tightly to Lu Yi’s leg, insisting on going for a stroll.

In the end, everyone gave in and agreed to let Xu Haowen join. They secretly prayed that his enthusiasm for adventure wouldn’t cause trouble.

"Great, here I come, the ruins of the ancient Super Civilization." Xu Haowen, a dedicated archaeology student, was more excited than anyone. His enthusiasm for exploration had overwhelmed his fear of the unknown danger.

Qin Jia reminded Xu Haowen to be careful or he wouldn’t be able to explain it to Professor Luo.

Hearing the words ’Professor Luo’, Gu Fan remembered something and asked: "By the way, did you inform Professor Luo about Yuxueyun Mountain last time?"

Xu Haowen immediately replied: "Yes, Professor Luo was so surprised he could barely believe it. But once he thought that you, Gu Fan, were involved, he believed it right away. He also said that if possible, find more relics from the ancient Super Civilization. It would definitely be a sensation and we’ll definitely be on TV, getting interviewed. We’d be famous."

"Why is it always about appearing on TV? Is this the only way Professor Luo knows how to boost morale?" Everyone didn’t think much about it, all their attention was on the island.
