The sky was so bright that it was a little blinding, but there was no sun or other celestial bodies in the sky. There were not even any clouds. It was just a sea of white.
The sea was still shrouded in fog, and the water was unusually calm. There were no waves or fish moving around. The fog seemed to exist, but it also seemed to not exist. When he looked at the sky, it did not feel hazy, but when he looked forward, it was covered in fog.
From the moment Gu Jun stepped on the deck, his body felt a lot lighter. It was as if he could fly if he wanted to.
But when he stepped on the deck, it felt real. It did not feel like he was dreaming.
He and Wu Shiyu boarded the ship with a Type 97 automatic rifle. They had received professional training, and they stood back to back the moment they got on the ship. They swept the muzzle of the gun around them.
The ship looked like a pirate ship from before modern times. There was not much on the rather spacious wooden deck. There were three wooden masts, some empty lidless barrels, and thick hemp ropes. There was a door to the cabin. The old door was half-closed, and they could vaguely see a staircase behind it.
"Be careful, I feel like we're not the only ones here …" Gu Jun lowered his voice and said to Wu Shiyu.
At this moment, Wu Shiyu said in surprise, "Your gun."
"Yours too." Gu Jun could see that the rifles in his hands and hers suddenly melted into a cloud of smoke before disappearing into nothingness.
It was not just the two rifles. The two sniper rifles on their backs, the rifles on their waists, grenades, mini missile launchers, daggers, knives, and other cold weapons had all melted into fog.
He quickly touched the medical equipment bag on his waist and sighed in relief. The three Carlop instruments, scalpel, dissecting scissors, and dissecting forceps were all still there. But when he looked at the large medical bag, the normal surgical instruments were all gone. The medicine, frozen blood bags, and syringes were all still there.
But when he looked at the tools and the things he had on him, his phone, binoculars, flashlight, lighter, watch, compass, hardtack, and water bottle were all gone.
Now, the two of them only had a set of clothes, ski boots, and some medical supplies. They had nothing else.
"Alright …" Gu Jun said in a low voice. "It seems that we have indeed arrived at the Dream World."
"Why are these medical supplies still here?" Wu Shiyu could not understand.
"I don't know either." Gu Jun shook his head. His hands were empty, and his heart was filled with uneasiness. He remembered what Mr. Child had said in the diary, "It's a beautiful world, but it's not a safe one. If you want to go in, you don't need to bring anything. It's useless. "
This was a dangerous world, and the island they were going to had cultists and ghouls …
Without these guns, and the fact that they could not use their spells casually, their strength immediately plummeted.
"Take this." Gu Jun passed the dissecting scissors to Wu Shiyu and took the scalpel himself. "It's better than fists."
Wu Shiyu took the dissecting scissors and moved her fingers. Click, click, click. "I suddenly feel like cutting something." She said.
"Let's go take a look at the cabin." Gu Jun led the way as they moved forward carefully. He listened carefully to their surroundings and tried to sense …
The two approached the door. The closer they got, the more they could hear some strange hissing coming from the cabin below. It was not just one kind but many different kinds of hissing mixed together. Gu Jun's heart squeezed. There appeared to be some kind of creature trapped down there …
Just as he focused his attention forward, Wu Shiyu, who was responsible for keeping an eye on the back, suddenly gasped. "Ah."
Gu Jun whipped his head around and saw that in the direction they came from, next to the pile of empty wooden buckets, there was an extra person.
"I just blinked." Wu Shiyu said, "And this happened."
It was an old man with an unkempt beard. He was wearing an old linen robe that had no decoration or style. It hid his gaunt frame. Even though the old man had a human face, he did not look like any human on Earth. His eyes were sunken, his nose was flat, and his gray beard hung down to his chest.
The strangest thing was that the old man's face was covered in scars that looked like earthworms. But were they really scars? They looked like they were wriggling …
Gu Jun winked at Wu Shiyu. He turned around slowly and asked in Chinese, "Sir, how are you? Can you understand our language? "
"In this world, no matter what language it is, as long as the speaker is willing, the listener will be able to understand it," the old man Huihu answered.
The two understood immediately. The old man was speaking a very strange language. It was not the language of the foreign people, zombies, or R 'yleh, but they could understand it. However, even though they tried to imitate the language, they could not get anything out.
"Sir, may I ask who you are?" Gu Jun asked again.
"You can see me as the captain of this ship. I receive passengers from all over the world." The old man Huihu's expression did not change. "Where do you wish to go?"
Gu Jun thought about it and said, "Can we take a look at the map?" He wanted to get a general idea of this world, if that was possible.
"There is no map." The old man Huihu still did not look at them. He stared blankly ahead. "I'll leave it to you to tell us where we are going."
Gu Jun knew he was not going to get anything out of the old man. "We are going to a deserted island. Based on the coordinates of the world we came from, it is located at latitude 74 ° 31 ′ 12 ″ north and longitude 176 ° east."
"Of course …" The old man answered immediately. "I will lead you to that place."
Instantly, the white ship's sail swayed to adjust its direction. Then the ship picked up speed. Even the fog seemed to lighten.
This gave Gu Jun a jolt. It seemed like he had not come to the wrong place. The deserted island in his dream was in this world.
"Sir, why are you giving us a ride?" Wu Shiyu asked. "Is this your job? Are you a part-time worker or a boss? "
She asked many questions, and Gu Jun allowed her to do as she pleased. However, the old man did not seem to hear her and did not respond.
Wu Shiyu shrugged lightly. This old man was so stubborn.
"Sir." Gu Jun took the initiative to ask again. In a sincere tone, he said, "The place we are going is a dangerous place, but we do not even have a weapon, and we lack food and water. I wonder if you can give us some? Or tell us what we should do? "
"There are many things on the ship." The old man Huihu spoke again. "But if you want to get them, it depends on how much you are willing to pay."
"Were you the one who took our things earlier?" Wu Shiyu moved the dissecting scissors in her hand. She had the urge to cut off the old man's beard.
"No, that is just the rule of this world," the old man said. "No one can bring in whatever they want. Only some other reasons will lead to an exception. "
Gu Jun nodded silently. Combined with Mr. Child's words, the old man did not seem to be lying to them.
Then these Carlop devices and medical supplies must be for some other reason. What was the reason?
To get something from the old man, they had to trade something … Was this like a spell?
A few thoughts flashed through his mind. He asked, "Sir, can you show us what you have first?"
"Of course." The moment the old man Huihu said that, the empty wooden barrels around them suddenly flashed with a blinding light.
Gu Jun squinted his eyes and saw that the barrels were no longer empty. They were all filled with various things.
There were some unique weapons in one of the barrels. There were knives, swords, bows, and arrows. Another barrel was filled with wine and food, giving off a strange aroma. Another barrel was filled with some miscellaneous items, such as kerosene lamps and flints. However, his attention was attracted by another barrel. There were some books and scrolls, and there seemed to be some spell papers as well.
The other things might be easy to get, but these scrolls were the things that he had been searching for. They might contain some secrets and answers.
Gu Jun's heart raced.
At the same time, Wu Shiyu stared at the barrel of alcohol and food.
"Then," the old man Huihu asked indifferently, "what do you want?"
