Chapter 76 Black Fog Spreads

Chapter 76 Black Fog Spreads
The news of the black mist cast a shadow over the hearts of all the people on the island. Perhaps because they felt the depressing atmosphere, even the black mist in the sky slowly dissipated.

This sudden drizzle pushed down the lingering gloom a bit.

Sauer looked into the distance, heavy clouds hung low above the sky, and a few purple lightnings could be seen faintly piercing the sky.

The news of boarding the ship came earlier than expected. Fortunately, he had already prepared the necessary packages. In fact, he didn't have too many things to carry with him.

In the morning, the commander ordered some soldiers to investigate the situation of the black mist and asked to report every two hours, while other soldiers were assigned some irrelevant chores. Naturally, these soldiers were all poor people who had not received their boat tickets.

Sauer did not carefully understand the rules for issuing boat tickets, but based on his findings, he could basically judge whether the rules were fair and just. Obviously, considering that a small number of soldiers who did not have boat tickets did not even know the existence of the Stewart, boat tickets must have nothing to do with fairness and justice.

And this is why Sauer had to desperately show his own value before.

The person who can board the ship may not be the most suitable person, but it must be the person who is useful to the inspector and commander. The greater the role, the more stable the ticket.

Sauer led Garland along the edge of the station. He deliberately avoided the crowd to prevent anyone from discovering that Garland's eyes were abnormal. Within a few hours, Garland's right eye had also turned red. Neither of them said anything about it, but the change in pupil color did not cause too much suspicion.

The drizzle patted on the shoulders of the two, splashing a little bit of water.

The two walked all the way to the dock at the port. In front of them was the checkpoint for boarding tickets. In fact, after the miners' unrest, the checkpoint had more formal significance than practical significance. Most of the miners and businessmen died in the turmoil planned by Regis and Bill. The people who can board the boat now are basically familiar faces in the station.

"Master Saul." The soldiers at the checkpoint nodded slightly after seeing Saul.

Due to Sauer's outstanding performance in recent days, coupled with his frequent visits to the commander's office, and his presence in the trading market and around the station, his face is basically familiar to everyone.

"Garland." Sauer pointed to Garland who was bowing his head behind him, "It's already registered."

The eyes of the four soldiers passed Saul and landed on Garland.

Garland lowered his head and did not look at the four of them. This was Saul's request. After all, the status of inspector and guard still had enough authority. After all, Saul was in a hurry. He could use this status to unilaterally announce that the soldier was contaminated, and then he pulled out his sword and cut off the soldier's head in the next second. At this critical moment, no one went back to investigate whether the soldier was contaminated.

"Please." The checkpoint soldier didn't ask any more questions, and didn't search the luggage of the two, but chose to let them go directly.

Sauer took Garland to continue forward. After passing the checkpoint, he continued to walk forward for a while until he bypassed a tree wall used for camouflage, and the Stewart appeared in front of him.

The Stewart was a three-masted ship with a curved stern and a broad hull.There are several square sails installed between the foremast and the topmast of the ship, and a jib sail on the mizzenmast.

Even if it is just a quick glance, you can still clearly see the traces of the hull renovation, the wooden boards are inconsistent in color, the mast is reinforced by rough craftsmanship, etc. This ship, carrying the hopes of the people on the island, is about to drag its exhausted body into the sea in this bad weather.

After the two boarded the ship, Sauer arranged for Garland to rest in the room. After that, he went to prepare some tools such as food and ropes. If the pollution in Garland's body had spread to a very serious level, some extreme measures might be needed to control it. After all the tools were prepared, he went to look for the mystic Natalie.Compared to the two, the mystic had already boarded the ship due to the large amount of cargo.

"Good afternoon." The mystic was counting his goods.

Sauer recalled the scene when he boarded the ship just now. There were still some soldiers who had already obtained the tickets to carry the goods. In fact, if they gave up some irrelevant goods, such as gold, silver and jewelry, they could bring more soldiers on board. Obviously, no one was willing to give up their wealth.

"I want to trouble you with something." Saul said softly.

"Arrange a spirit-strengthening array for Garland's room?" the mystic asked back. Before Saul could answer, she agreed, "Yes, I can help him arrange a more powerful spirit-strengthening array, but I need you to protect me by my side. After all, Garland's condition..." The mystic did not say the rest.

Saul understands what the mystic means. He regards Garland as a friend and is willing to bear the risk of an outbreak of contamination in Garland's body. But to the mystic, Garland is just an ordinary person after all. Fortunately, he has a potential quencher as his friend.

There are also differences between people.

"Excuse me." Saul nodded.

After some preparations, the Solid Spirit Formation had been arranged in Garland's room. After that, Garland stayed in the room to rest, the mystic returned to his room, and Saul went to the deck. He wanted to see the island again.

As soon as he came to the deck, Saul heard the scolding sound. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw the commander with white temples. At this moment, the commander was blushing and was pointing at the direction of the island to scold.

He was very curious, and he had never seen the commander lose his composure so much, so he stepped forward, walked to the handrail on the edge of the deck, and then moved his eyes down to land on the shore.

At this time, the board between the ship and the shore had been withdrawn. On the shore, many soldiers were pointing at the people on the Stewart and cursing. Naturally, the commander who was still standing on the deck was the first to bear the brunt. Some soldiers knelt down and begged, hoping to give him a ticket, and let him do whatever he wanted.

"If I didn't take the initiative to fight for the opportunity, maybe I was also a member of the shore." Saul sighed. He looked at the soldiers cursing and kneeling in prayer on the shore, and thought of himself helpless when he first woke up from the mine. For about ten days, it was like a lingering nightmare.

The Stewart sailed slowly away from the shore, leaving the island gradually shrouded in black mist.

At this moment, the people on the boat and the people on the shore seem to be in two worlds. The former is about to leave this nightmare island and go to the vast land, while the latter can wait for rescue or pray for miracles on the island, but as the black mist begins to spread, all they can do is wait silently for the arrival of death.

The soldiers on the shore saw the Stewart getting farther and farther away. Some of them took off their clothes and jumped into the sea. They waved their hands desperately and swam to the Stewart, the ship of hope.

Sauer looked away and looked into the distance. He found that the black mist had come uninvited in the garrison of the army stationed on the island.
