Chapter 52 Landing on the Deserted Island

I carried the gun and looked at the remaining passengers with satisfaction. None of them came out to cause trouble again in the past half hour.

I also felt that many people cast disgusting and even hatred for me, and I could even think of what they were thinking.

These nobles must be thinking about how to punish me after returning to their familiar territory. I guess many of them would like to send me to the gallows. After all, my behavior just now was provoking the dignity of the entire aristocratic level.

But what does that have to do with me? They don’t know my name or my identity and background. To take a step back, even if they know, there is still a Jiabaiwei behind me.

Although I don’t know what background Jia Baiwei is, his background is obviously not simple either when it comes to killing nobles as a general matter.

As time passed by minute by minute, the lifeboats continued to go back and forth between the airship and the deserted island in a stable and orderly manner, and soon more than half of the passengers successfully evacuated to the deserted island.

At this time, three full hours had passed since the evacuation operation began, and everyone could see the cabin sinking a small part.

This situation scared the remaining passengers, and they began to become panicked and unruly again. If my gun hadn't been pointing at the open space in front of the level, many people might have hit the level composed of crew members again.

To be honest, I was also a little impatient at this moment. After all, this was just a cabin of an airship, not a passenger ship or other ship operating at sea. It was beyond my expectation that it would sink immediately before the water was inlet.

Although Jiabaiwei said that this cabin could last for more than ten hours, it would be no harm to think about this kind of thing to the disadvantage. I am worried that Jiabaiwei's people will be able to hold on until the moment everyone evacuated the airship.

"Silent! Silent!" Seeing that many people began to push and shovate towards the level, I immediately stood up and shot into the sky while shouting.

The crisp gunfire echoed on the clear sea, and for most of the time, violence and death are the best means to calm a person down.

The nobles who heard the gunshots first screamed in panic and then calmed down.

"Return to your position, gentlemen, ladies," I ordered with a spear, "Don't try to rely on the number of people to hit the level," I said, stretching out my left hand and letting the flames pound in my palm freely.

"Did you see it?" I looked down at the flames in my palms, then turned to look at the nobles not far away with satisfaction, "Even if you all hit the level at once, I can kill you in a few seconds."

Many noble ladies and wives were so scared that their faces turned pale by my words. It turned out that the group of nobles who were planning to move forward ran back quickly as if they had seen a ghost, and soon returned to their position.

"So you are a dual-type magician, Mr. Savos," Williams said in amazement. "It seems that the captain is right to entrust this to you. You can kill everyone here alone."

"I won't do that, William," I laughed loudly, deliberately letting all the passengers still in line hear me, "Unless they violate the rules I set, I don't have the interest to kill them."

Williams didn't say anything, but shrugged and agreed to me with a thumbs up.

Everything went well for the next time, and I still underestimated the influence of the wizards in the Empire and Strand.

Until the last group of nobles got into the lifeboat, everyone was honest and no one tried to hit the crew's level again.

As the last passengers slowly headed towards the coast, I jumped off the barricade and returned to Christo and Schumat.

"Thank you for your hard work," I clapped my hands and said to them with a smile, "If nothing unexpected happens, we will be the last one."

"They'd better hurry up," Christo glanced outside the viewing platform, looking a little worried, "This ship won't last long."

Just as we were chatting, a sound came from the stairs. Jia Baiwei and a large number of soaked crew members hurriedly ran up.

"How is the situation?" he asked as soon as he saw me.

"Two dead." I said with a thunderous mouth and pointed my fingers to the ground.

"Who died?"

"One is Speaker Stran's daughter, and the other is the son of Councillor Clinton."

"The daughter of the Otto family and the son of the Clinton family?" Jia Baiwei frowned slightly, "These two people are quite good at origin, what's going on?"

"They tried to hit the level, keeping my dissuasion, and also tried to shoot your crew and me with a pistol."

Jiabaiwei frowned slightly after hearing my words, "These two idiots," he said helplessly, "I have some friendship with Speaker Otto, but his daughter is indeed a fool."

"I will deal with this after returning to Strand," Gabaiwei said in a deep voice. "Don't worry, I won't let anyone revenge on you."

"Now," he walked to the guardrail, and the lifeboat was slowly advancing towards the side of the ship from not far away. "It's time for us to retreat, we have given up the cabin, and the airship can't hold on for long."

The sailors on the lifeboat were very fast, and when they arrived at the edge of the airship, a quarter of the entire cabin floated on the sea.

"Go up!" Jia Baiwei waved his hand and loudly directed the remaining crew members on the viewing deck, "Everyone must keep order!"

At Gabbey's insistence, Christo and I got on the boat first, and the first boat was soon filled with ten people, of course, including the sailor who had originally rowed the boat.

He threw us one by one with a paddle, "Everyone comes together so that we can return to the deserted island faster. I don't want to be swept into the whirlpool created by the wreck."

"You seem to be familiar with what's happening on the water," I asked as I took the oar, "Are you a sailor at sea before?"

"Mr. Savos," the crew laughed, "the crew of all the Imperial and Strand's airships were seamen before, airships, and this thing was nothing more than a ship flying in the sky. Who would be more suitable than us?"

"That's true," I laughed. After confirming that I was out of danger, I also relaxed, and finally felt a little chatting and joking.

The lifeboat kept jogging on the sea, and soon we approached the beach of the deserted island.

As the gaze of a large number of passengers in distress, our lifeboat hit the beach. Several crew members who had been prepared immediately rushed up and pulled the lifeboat completely from the sea to the beach.

After the incident on the viewing platform, I bet that none of these nobles would be willing to stay with me, so I walked straight to the crew and searched for Hickrad in the crowd.

With the help of the landing crew, I quickly found them, a team of young men and two young and beautiful girls should not be too conspicuous.

"Hickrad!" I shouted at him and walked towards him happily.

"You're finally here," Hickrad showed a relieved expression when he saw me. "You don't know how stressed I'm under during this period," he said. "The second group of passengers who landed had a long quarreled with the crew, and many people even tried to compete for the weapons in the crew."

"What's the result?"

"Those idiots were taught a lesson by the crew with wooden sticks and butts, and the situation calmed down. To be honest, I was really nervous at that time," he said, patting his chest. "There were so many times that I was about to shoot."

"You did a great job, Hickrad," I put my arms around his shoulders, "Now you have to go and rest for a while, excessive fatigue is not good for you."

"Yes, I'm not just talking about Hickrad, two ladies," I turned my head and looked at the Bird sisters under the palm tree. "You need a break, too, I'll ask for two tents for you with the crew."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Savos."

"When calling my name, you are, too, Hickrad, don't call me when you can," I said to them in a low voice, "I killed two nobles with great identities on the boat, and the remaining noble passengers are eager to know my name and identity."

"I get it," Hickrad looked at the large group of passengers not far away, nodded, and stuffed his pistol back into my hand, "I'll give you this pistol."

"Okay," I took the pistol, "I plan to go to the depths of the deserted island for a few rounds."

"You have to be careful," Hickrad's face showed a worried look when he heard what I said. "We have not explored this desert island since we landed, and no one knows what is inside it."

"I understand, thank you for your concern."

I put my pistol back into my belt and took my sisters Hickrad and Bird back to the beach. Williams and Gabbey have already arrived ashore now. With the last lifeboat being pulled onto the beach, the evacuation operation has also come to an end perfectly.

After briefly explaining his meaning with Jiabaiwei, the Changtaka man readily assigned us six tents, each with one.

"Thank you very much, Gabaiwei," I bowed slightly to him, "and they will ask you and your crew to take care of you during the next period."

"What do you mean by saying this?" Jia Baiwei raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Where are you going?"

I pulled the broken steel out of my back and smiled at him, "I plan to go to the depths of this island."

"This is a good idea," Gabawi nodded in agreement. "We know nothing about the island."

"Go," he waved at me, "I will take good care of your friends for you."

I bowed slightly to him again, and walked into the jungle on the island with broken steel in my hand.

This is an island with a typical rainforest landform, which made me wary. There are often a large number of poisonous insects and beasts with excellent camouflage but extremely dangerous in this kind of rainforest.

A breeze suddenly blew, and the nearby palm trees swayed slightly with the wind, and the leaves made a slight rustling sound.

This scene made me even more alert. Apart from the sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves, I didn’t hear any sounds of living creatures, nor did I see any birds.

Either this is an island with no creatures at all, or some creatures on this island are too dangerous.

The former is a good thing for us, but the latter is not very good.

Maintaining the highest vigilance, I walked deeper for a while, but made some unexpected discoveries.

I found that some vegetation deep in the island showed a very unnatural low state. Although it was concealed, I still discovered it immediately after learning from the hunters in the troupe. This is a trace of people stepping out.

My inner warning value immediately reached the highest value. There are people on this island! They must have seen our airship falling. Such a huge situation would not have been ignored.

This means they must have seen us landing on the island, but they did not show up in front of us, and it was not a good thing from either perspective.

"We must tell Gabawei about this," I murmured to myself, "we are in trouble."

A whole sound suddenly came from my left side. I was shocked and hurriedly hid in the bushes.

Two men in robes soon appeared in my sight, "Master Priest," the man on the left spoke, "Our mission failed, what should we do now?"

"I don't know either," sighed, and was obviously very upset. "That airship shouldn't have exploded here, our plan must have been discovered."

I was shocked. Judging from their conversation, their identities were already obvious. These people hiding on this deserted island were all members of the source of the plague!

"These damn survivors are now on this deserted island again, and we can't even spread the information," the man on the left cursed again angrily, "They really know how to pick the time."

"Don't worry," said the priest a little viciously, "we have chosen...the sublimated warriors, they will give those people an unforgettable memory tonight."

"Ah, another plague fireworks," the man on the left took a deep breath, his tone full of intoxication, "I can't wait to see that picture."

These damn guys! I scolded in my heart. Judging from their conversation, their sect obviously prepared another group of...self-destructors, and they were planning to use these self-destructors to attack us.

"We must tell Jia Baiwei and the others about this."

I made up my mind and began to hold my breath. After these two people walked away, I immediately rushed out of the bushes and returned along the same path as I could.

It took a lot of time to retreat today, and it is already ten days late, and their attacks may be launched at any time.

I had to go back to the camp immediately.
