In the depths of a deep and hidden rock crack, Tang Danning and Zhou Dong found the elderly man hiding at the innermost side.

The man was wearing a broken shirt and had a waterproof backpack around him. He was curled up in the crack of the stone, looking like he fainted from a distance.

Tang Danning whispered, “The air here is turbid, maybe he fainted due to lack of oxygen, let’s move him to a location near the entrance of the rock wall.”

Zhou Dong looked at his system interface with satisfaction, indicating that he had found a geologist. He stepped forward and picked up the man. Tang Danning picked up the man’s waterproof backpack. The two quickly took the geologist to a location close to the mountain.

The air is circulating here, and the wind with water vapor is blowing gently. If you just rest here, it will be quite pleasant.

Zhou Dong sat cross-legged beside the rock. He drooped naturally with one leg. From a distance, he looked like he was sitting on a cliff. In fact, it was almost the same. There was a stone of less than one meter on the outside of the crack. Zhou Dong found that the view here was very good.

On both sides are sharp and steep mountain walls, and the hilltop in front is slightly lower. Following the cross gap between the mountains, Zhou Dong could see that near the lake where he first landed, and at this moment, it was densely packed with translucent monsters.

Zhou Dong slightly estimated the location of the lake and the rock wall where the geologist was hiding. He remembered Tang Danning’s previous muttering that everyone’s landing was carefully calculated by the system.

If he had not left the lake and entered the forest halfway up, then smelled Ling Yuanzhi’s coughing of blood, then smelled Tang Danning’s breath, and then went down the mountain with the intention of killing Tang Danning, maybe just wait for a while, he would be able to find a geologist hiding in the cracks of the mountain rocks.

Zhou Dong was a little worried, but then he thought that when encountering old Yin rivals like Tang Danning and Fan Qiu, as long as they don’t lose, they will win. Although Tang Danning was successful in his mouth, Zhou Dong also got Tang Danning’s OEM contract!

Isn’t it a pleasure to work hard and get a contract to sell your body before Tang Danning comes to work?

Thinking of this, Zhou Dong was immediately happy again and subconsciously began to imagine the wonderful prospect of Tang Danning having to transfer the team.

Tang Danning didn’t know how to dig up Ji Lebin’s corner. After he gave the elderly basic treatment, the elderly quickly woke up.

After waking up, the elderly were a little surprised at first, and then looked at Tang Danning, who was sitting on the rock wall with some vigilance and Zhou Dong, who was guarding the mountain rock platform: “You are…”

Tang Danning said in a gentle tone: “We are the rescue team. After your ship had an accident, Captain Joseph sent a distress signal. After receiving the signal, we rushed over. We had found Captain Joseph’s crew and entered the mountains according to his guidance and found you.”

After Tang Danning explained concisely, he pointed to the heavy rain outside and the translucent monsters that kept surging in the rain: “After we landed on the island, we were attacked by these monsters, and the kayaks on the dock were destroyed. The number of monsters surged after we came in. Do you have any way to leave?”

Tang Danning did not use his abilities directly, but asked in a gentle manner. After all, under the influence of ability, only the questions asked by Tang Danning would give the other party a definite answer, which would easily lose some clues.

Moreover, this elderly person is probably the oldest person on the ship. He can survive until now and has good rationality and logical abilities. It can be seen that the elderly must have key information.

The elderly smiled bitterly after hearing this: “If we don’t solve the problem of this island, we will not be able to leave the island.”

Tang Danning was waiting for the other party to say this. He looked distressed when he heard this: “So do you know what’s going on with this island? What solutions do you have?”

The elderly introduced himself and said that he was Steve, a professor at a university who specialized in studying the crust movements on the seabed and marine life on the deep seabed.

Steve first introduced the origin of this island to Zhou Dong and Tang Tanning. The content was similar to what the two heard before at the crew, but Steve’s version was obviously more vivid.

The more I listened to Tang Danning, the more I felt strange, mainly because Professor Steve said it too carefully.

He suddenly said, “Have you been here before?”

Steve was silent for a while before saying helplessly, “Anyway, I need your help in the end, so it’s useless for me to hide it… Yes, I am the last alive sea clan member.”

The moment Steve said this, Zhou Dong’s mission changed, from finding a geologist to solving the historical problems left by the sea clan.

Zhou Dong felt sad, he knew that the Dogby System would not issue such a simple task of finding people, and completely let go of the psychological grudges that were furious by Tang Danning: Fortunately, he asked Tang Danning to fight on behalf of him!

Tang Danning was mentally prepared. He was shocked at first, and then comforted the other party: “It’s not easy to carry these alone, but you’re back after all, you’re really amazing.”

Steve felt very moved after hearing this, and suddenly felt close. He sighed and said, “It was all my naughty that year. I lived on an island more than fifty nautical miles west of the Tomb Island. When my neighbor’s grandfather passed away, my grandfather’s family drove a boat to send the dead people to the Tomb Island.”

“I was young at that time and didn’t understand what death was. I heard from the adults that the grandfather next door moved, and insisted on following him to the location and thinking about visiting him later.”
“I didn’t expect that I secretly got on the boat and came to the Tomb Island, and was discovered by the grandfather’s people. They were very angry and wanted to beat me to death.”

“I was scaredHe jumped and ran to the island to hide. The family did not dare to stay on the Tomb Island for too long, so he drove away. “

“Later, my family drove a boat to the Tomb Island, and they didn’t dare to go to the island, so they just turned around the island from afar. I heard the sound of the engine and jumped into the sea to run onto the boat. Only then did I learn that our family was driven out of the island where we have lived for generations. “

“My father beat me up, took my mother and brother, and the whole family left the island and went to the nearest mainland city to make a living. That was decades ago. “

“Not long after we left, we heard that volcanoes and tsunamis had appeared in the places where we lived before, and the islands were gone, and it became a sea area where ships were prone to accidents. I didn’t care at first, but when my father passed away…”
