Chapter 550 Allocation
When Leo saw the spectacle before him, he knew that Shirley's judgment was correct.
The destination of those strange sea creatures was also Luoyu Island.
Countless narrow channels extend from the vast circular abyss.
The so-called Fallen Feather Island is located in the middle of the abyss to the southwest.
Leo ordered the ship to enter the abyss.
Leo was always on edge whenever a violent storm raged.
If a ship deviates from its course, the silk veil may fall into hell.
If they really fall off the water cliff, perhaps even if Leo gives his all, he cannot save the great being.
Therefore, Leo could only assign the most reliable sailors to handle the sails and ropes.
Fortunately, nothing has gone wrong so far.
Leo also frequently observed the bottom of the water, and sure enough, the schools of fish were moving along the narrow waterway.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shirley caught another one.
Her skirt is now covered in bloodstains, and occasionally you can see half a fish intestine hanging from her ear.
So much so that Mahan complained to Leo that he had to endure the nauseating smell of fish and blood when he was intimate with her lately.
However, Leo could tell that he understood her.
As researchers, both understood the strange and withdrawn state that could result from becoming engrossed in a particular study. However, just now, Shirley had told Leo a terrifying conclusion: "Those fish aren't just fish, they're people too!"
Upon hearing this, Leo felt a chill run down his spine. In other words, "You've been killing people all along?"
"This is not scary. The reason why the Federation's biotechnology is so advanced is because it has enough samples, not just corpse samples, but also live samples."
Upon hearing this, Leo was stunned.
Could it be that every biologist in the Federation holds human lives in their hands?
However, Leo did not have any intention of criticizing the other party.
At least for these strange fish, Leo couldn't regard them as human.
As for why Shirley came to such an absurd conclusion, Leo did not want to ask.
Yes, he plans to have dinner tonight.
The silk veil floated on the narrow sea, and after about half a day, the surrounding waters finally became wider.
Until it became a vast sea.
He knew that this was still the center of the abyss, where all the narrow sea lanes converged.
In the center of the sea, that conspicuous, enormous island must be the Fallen Feather Island he was searching for!
This should have been exciting, as it meant the hardships of the journey were finally over.
However, this is not the case.
I could vaguely see some dark spots around the island.
Leo brought over a mechanical gun.
This machine gun is a modified version of Mahan's design, and it is equipped with a lens sight.
According to Mahan's description, this scope allows one to see targets at a great distance.
Leo raised his mechanical gun and aimed it at the area around the island.
Now he finally saw it clearly.
That's right, what surrounds the island is a group of longships!
Or rather, the fleet!
Why would such a massive fleet exist on this remote, isolated island?
Leo was completely bewildered.
After careful consideration, he came up with a possibility.
Could it be that they are not the only ones currently searching for this legendary island?
Assuming that's true, Leo absolutely refuses to believe it's a coincidence!
Recalling his conversation with John Justinian, Leo deduced from the man's words that the reason Lord John of Holy City intended to search for Feathered Isle was because of the revelation he received from the stone egg.
The reason why the stone eggs can be hatched is related to spices.
Leo may not have been the first to bring spices out of the New World.
But the person who spread it all over the world was definitely Leo.
Could it be that intelligence about Luoyu Island already exists all over the world?
However, it can only be opened with spices?
But why?
Spices are a product of the New World, which was discovered by navigators in recent decades.
But the clue about Fallen Feather Island that Leo possesses existed a thousand years ago—
No! That's not right!
Just then, Leo suddenly remembered something.
He once explored the New World with the all-knowing Daniel Clark.
After being cornered by a terrifying monster, the group fell into an underground cave.
Inside that cave, the group found a ground relief.
Daniel, however, said that those carvings recorded the outline of a world map.
In other words, the isolated New World had already recorded what the Eastern world looked like.
Could it be that the New World was once connected to several other continents?
If that's the case, there might be a grand plan behind this that's unimaginable to ordinary people.
As for the purpose of this plan, Leo naturally couldn't guess.
But in any case, seeing those longships now is no coincidence.
The fact that other forces have also found the island suggests that conflict may be unavoidable.
However, Leo must avoid direct combat.
They only had one ship full of people, but the strength of their opponents was unknown.
Therefore, Leo immediately decided to keep a low profile.
However, preparations for combat must also be made.
Leo summoned Mahan and asked him to observe the ships at sea.
Mahan immediately looked puzzled: "Sir, who are those people?"
"I don't know," Leo shook his head, "but they're definitely not friends."
"So what should we do?"
"Try to remain undetected, complete the task entrusted to us by John Justinian, and then immediately sail away," Leo replied. "However, we must also consider the possibility of encounters and conflicts. So, Mr. Mahan, I've summoned you here to ask how many weapons you've forged in total?"
"We couldn't build the cannons because we didn't have enough materials," Mahan replied. "However, I used the remaining materials to build two machine guns, a portable pistol and an automatic gun."
That means there are a total of five machine guns!
Mahan and Shirley are important and irreplaceable talents under Leo's command. They must both carry weapons for self-defense. In addition, Navajo and Apache, two green-eyed people, are also Leo's loyal supporters, and Leo must ensure their survival in order to maintain the friendship with the green-eyed tribal alliance.
Including Leo himself, there are five people in total.
Leo therefore ordered, "Sneak ashore!"
Afterward, Leo distributed the weapons.
Shirley chose the thick-caliber machine gun, while Mahan took the one with the scope.
Leo possessed extraordinary abilities, so he only chose that pistol.
The remaining two automatic guns were taken by the two green-eyed men.
As for ammunition, Mahan said there was plenty.
After everything was ready, the Silk Veil finally approached land again after several months.
They hid their boats in a mangrove forest to prevent them from being discovered by the enemy.
Only a few people, including the coppersmith, stayed behind to watch the boat, while the others went ashore together.
Leo examined the gun in his hand and silently released the safety.
