Chapter 2348 Ghost Dock

"No, Captain, please let me go. I'm really scared."

"Don't yell. Shut up. If others misunderstand, I'll beat you to death." Although the bearded captain said harshly, he relaxed his hand a little.

He pulled the thin man who was still sobbing and pushed the door open.

It was dark outside and he couldn't see the specific situation, but the bearded captain didn't react at all. He was obviously used to such an environment.

Walking on the creaking wooden corridor, the bearded captain told the thin man to shut his mouth.

"If you yell again, you'll attract Lenko's attention and there will be nothing."

Perhaps the bearded captain's words worked, and the thin man's voice really became quieter.

However, the thin man yelled too loudly in the house before, which eventually aroused some people's suspicion. The bearded captain had only walked for a short time, and before he even finished walking through the shabby wooden corridor, he saw a tall silhouette appear in the gray mist in front of him.

Seeing the figure in front of him, the bearded captain cursed secretly, pinched the thin man's neck hard, and pushed him aside. Then he took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

When the bearded captain opened his eyes again, his eyes had changed from fierce wolf eyes to ordinary smoothness, and his temperament directly changed from a rough man to a simple and honest old man.

"Captain Barrow?" A pleasant and elegant voice came from the front.

"Yes, Mr. Renko, haven't you gone to rest yet?" The bearded captain Barrow said with a smile.

"I just came back from the experimental field and I'm going to record the growth of the red radish before going to rest." The figure in the dark came out, but it was a tall young man wearing the same linen clothes as Captain Barrow. But unlike Captain Barrow's unkempt appearance, this young man looked clean and gentle, and his back was also very straight. Even on this gloomy island without sunlight, the young man's hair was combed neatly.

It is worth mentioning that he had a slender knight's sword on his waist.

Lenko approached Barrow, and his eyes unconsciously looked at the thin man beside him, with exploration and thinking in his eyes.

The thin man stopped talking at this time, his eyes were erratic, and he didn't dare to look at Lenko.

"I was outside just now, and I heard little Birch shouting something like 'don't, be afraid'. Did something happen?" Seeing that the thin man didn't dare to look at him, Lenko simply asked directly, but he couldn't help but look at the thin man, especially at the thin man's waist and buttocks.

On this bleak island where almost all men are men, there are always some people whose bottom line begins to deviate. The thin Birch is easily targeted, so when Lenko heard Birch's crying, he hurried over.

Captain Barrow naturally heard what Lenko meant. He couldn't help but glared at Burch with his peripheral vision. This stinky boy is hurting me! Who would like this guy?

Besides, with Lenko, who is powerful and self-righteous, maintaining order, no one dares to force anything in Dock No. 4.

"Nothing, nothing, I just want to take Burch to the beach to catch some fish and crabs, but this guy heard from others that there are fluorescent ghosts on the beach that will devour people, and he is very scared. So he keeps making trouble." After Barrow finished speaking, he kicked Burch with his foot.

Burch didn't react at first, and when Barrow winked at him, Burch said "Oh oh oh" for a while and said: "Yes, the captain is right. We just go to the beach to catch some food, yes, that's it."

Barrow looked at Burch's eyes and couldn't help cursing: This guy is as stupid as a manatee and can't even lie.

Lenko looked at Barrow, then at Birch, and finally whispered: "I don't care where you go, little Birch, tell me, are you voluntary?"

Birch's eyes rolled around, he wanted to say "no", but he also understood Lenko's subtext, Lenko obviously misunderstood his relationship with Captain Barrow... Lenko didn't think about it, if Captain Barrow really wanted to do something bad to him, there would be plenty of opportunities, how could he make him yell.

He couldn't discredit the captain's reputation at this time.

Moreover, that woman... Birch felt hot all over when he thought of the words that Little Flea described the woman, and he did want to go and see it a little bit. The premise is that Mandarin and others don't find out.

"Mr. Lenko, I think you misunderstood, Captain Barrow really just wants to take me to catch fish and crabs, and I really volunteered." Birch nodded.

Lenko looked at Birch, he knew that this kid lied a lot, but when he said "voluntary or not", he was sincere.

"Since you volunteered, you should bear the consequences yourself." Lenko said no more, and walked to the side, leaning against the wooden wall, and made way.

The meaning is self-evident. At least they have passed Lenko's level.

Barrow no longer held Birch's collar, nodded gently to Lenko, and then motioned Birch to follow, and walked into the fog.

In the next section of the journey, Barrow no longer talked to Birch, but walked very fast.

After walking more than ten meters, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and the wooden planks under their feet began to shake a little, and waves of water could be heard.

Barrow stood very steadily, while Birch was a little bumpy, leaning on the wooden railing beside him, looking down.

Below was a dark water surface.

They were on a boat.

The wind rocked the ship, but after the wind stopped, everything returned to silence. Barrow then continued to say to Birch: "This wind can't stand, it's nothing like a man on the sea."

Birch replied nervously: "I was not a sea man before. I only went to sea once, and ended up in this damn place."

Barrow patted Birch on the head: "You will take whatever I say? Shut up."

Birch pursed his lips and said nothing.

Only then did Barrow say with satisfaction: "Hurry up and follow us. Before Lenko can react, let's leave the dock first."

After passing through the long wooden corridor, they climbed onto the deck and dropped down the rope ladder. After five minutes, Barrow and Birch finally got off the ship.

Standing on the ground at the entrance of the dock, Barrow raised his head and looked at the huge but scarred freighter, with a slight emotion in his eyes: "Moonlight Bird... Oh, is there still a chance to set sail?"

Barrow shook his head and sighed.

What he didn't know was that on the deck at this time, Lenko was leaning in the shadow of the mast, his ears moving gently.

"Sail? I hope so." Lenko lowered his head and muttered: "I don't want to stay on this ghost island forever."

After whispering a few times, Lenko suddenly raised his head and looked into the dark mist.

"Captain Barrow said he wanted to take Birch to the beach? Oh, but he went north along the inner lake. This is not the way to the beach." Lenko frowned slightly: "Did Birch really follow Barrow? ? Not like that. Besides, if they are really evil, what are they doing outside?"

Not only are there ferocious beasts and poisonous snakes outside, but you may also encounter people from other shipyards. Those people have completely fallen into darkness and cannot even be called human beings.

Lenko thought for a moment, hesitated again and again, then picked up the weapon, flashed his figure, jumped off the deck, and finally disappeared into the darkness.

…

This island has no recognized scientific name. It is located in a foggy area. It is covered by fog almost all year round, and the sun cannot shine in. There is really not much difference between day and night. It is eerie and foggy all the time.

However, despite the fog, at least the island is relatively safe.

There is a huge inner lake on the island, which contains the remains of some ancient ships. There are a large number of dilapidated or sunken ships, making it like a ship cemetery.

Therefore, some people call this place Ghost Shipyard Island.

The reason why it is not a ghost ship island is because there are several large-scale shipyards in the inner lake, and most of the shipwrecks are piled up in the shipyards.

The Moonlight Picture Bird is parked at No. 4 dock in Neihu.

Other docks are also occupied by some people. Among them, the Mandarin's Po Xue is located in dock No. 1, which is currently the largest and most complete dock in the inner lake.

It can also be seen from this that the Mandarin who can occupy the No. 1 dock must not be underestimated.

At this time, Captain Barrow was taking Birch around the lakeshore to the famous No. 1 Dockyard.

"As you know, Lenko will not talk nonsense, but if he lets us go, it will also cause some associations in the minds of other people on the ship." As Barrow walked, he said to Birch, who was beside him with a sad expression: " When we get back, we’ll explain it when we get the chance, so they don’t misunderstand us.”

"I don't even think about it, how could I like it..." Barrow stopped mid-sentence.

Birch naturally understood what Barrow meant, and he did not dare to talk back, but he was saying the same thing as Barrow in his heart.

"Oh, Lenko really has an excessive sense of justice. If it weren't for him, we could have discussed with everyone and gone to grab it directly... How could we have gone there so secretly to see." Birch couldn't help but muttered.

Barrow stopped, turned around, and pressed Birch's forehead hard with his finger: "Are you complaining about Lenko now? You don't even think about it. If it weren't for Lenko, our Moonlight Map Bird could have remained like this in the past six months. Good order?"

Although Barrow also hates Lenko, he has to say that with the intimidation of a powerful person like Lenko, not only has there been no major civil strife within the Moonlight Map Bird, but he has also killed many Xiaoxiao in the past six months. Foreign enemies who want the resources on board demonstrate their strength.

Nowadays, on the Ghost Dock Island, Dock No. 4 and Dock No. 1 are almost two parallel forces, and Lenko's power is behind this.

However, while Lenko brought many benefits, he also brought some unnecessary restrictions in Barrow's view.

For example, Lenko still pays attention to rules and morals.

The reason why they didn't challenge Boss Man even though they were powerful was that Lenko's moral sense made him unwilling to take the initiative to infringe on others. Of course, if someone invades, Lenko will not be polite.

The Mandarin also knew some of Lenko's habits, so when he knew that he might not be able to defeat Lenko, he no longer took the initiative to provoke Dockyard No. 4.

This also disappointed Barrow, who was ambitious to occupy Dock No. 1. After all, without Lenko, they might not be able to defeat Dockyard 1 by themselves.

On this ghost island where you can't leave and where the deepest darkness of human nature has been completely unearthed, it's really silly to be moral. At least that's what Barrow thinks.

And this time, the reason why Barrow was worried that someone would disagree, so he took Birch to secretly check the situation, was because if he told it directly, Lenko would definitely not agree. After all, Lenko would never attack a woman.

This is also the difference in stance between Lenko and Barrow.

Ten years ago, Barrow was a pirate who roamed the seas. Although he quit later and joined a shipping company and became the captain of the merchant ship Moonlight Bird, he still had the ruthlessness of a pirate in his heart. Therefore, he did not attach much importance to the rules.

Lenko was different. He was a knight who accidentally boarded the Moonlight Bird and was about to go to the Fan Continent.

Yes, a knight. He said that he was a current knight, and his behavior also abided by the knight's code, humility, integrity, mercy, bravery, justice... Although Barrow often felt that Lenko was a bit pedantic, it was also because of his pedantry that everyone on the ship trusted Lenko, including Barrow himself.

So, although Barrow did not like Lenko, he would come to protect him as soon as Birch blamed Lenko.

In the rustling conversation, they had already arrived at the lakeshore near Dock No. 1.

At this point, Barrow became obviously cautious.

Even though the fog and darkness prevented people from seeing too far, this place was too close to Dock No. 1, and any movement they made here might attract attention.

Barrow went to the "pigsty" to see the beautiful woman secretly this time, and he had no intention of going to war with the Mandarin now, so he had to be careful and not be too reckless.

"Let's sneak around the dock and go to their pigsty."

Barrow pulled Birch, left the lakeshore and walked into the forest. Prepare to bypass the lake and go directly through the back door of the dock.

As the leader of Dock No. 4, Barrow once came to Dock No. 1 with Lenko to meet with the Mandarin and talk about the so-called "balance theory".

The conversation and game at that time were basically nonsense, and Barrow has almost forgotten it now. But he remembers the layout of Dock No. 1 clearly.

And with the help of the little flea in secret, Barrow knows the movements of Dock No. 1 very well.

Although walking in the dark forest, Birch was not as scared as before, because he often came here to meet Little Flea and was very familiar with the forest. He even knew where there were snakes and birds.

"Should I send a signal to call Little Flea out?" Birch said.

Barrow shook his head: "No, Little Flea has come out to see you today. If he runs out again within a day, it may arouse suspicion. After all, his job does not require him to get off the ship every day."

Little Flea is the ship doctor on the Broken Blood. However, he did not join the Broken Blood on his own initiative. He was abducted by Mandarin many years ago.

The last time Barrow came to Dock No. 1 for negotiation, Birch saw Little Flea and learned that his long-lost friend had been abducted by pirates and was now trapped on Ghost Dock Island.

Speaking of which, part of the reason why Birch boarded the Moonlight Bird from his hometown of Sidero Island to go to sea was to find Little Flea.

Unexpectedly, he finally found it, but they were all trapped here, and they didn't know whether it was lucky or unfortunate.

Since seeing the little flea, Birch often used the secret code they used when they were young to call the little flea out. At first, they just confided in each other. Later, when Barrow knew about it, he began to slowly develop the little flea into a secret sentry they left on Dock No. 1.

So, they could know what happened at Dock No. 1 through the little flea.

"I know where the pigpen is, just follow me closely."

Barrow took Birch and walked into the deeper darkness. As soon as Barrow left, Lenko appeared at the same place.

"You actually came to Dock No. 1... And what did they say just now, pigpen?"
