Chapter 1636 - Mountain of the Lost (1/2)

Chapter 1636: Mountain of the Lost

Brother Wolf continued with his tour. He said that there was a mountain in Crete, Greece, that was also this type of folded mountain. He said something about anticlines and valleys, synclines and mountains — Li Du did not really understand what he was saying.

They did a rough search on the island but because it was already somewhat dark, they could not really see well, so the search was not successful.

At night, Brother Wolf saved to the computer the footage Ah Fei got from flying around in the sky. They sat around, sipping coffee as they watched the boring video. All of a sudden, Brother Wolf pointed at the video and said, “Hurry and pause, look right here!”

“What did you see?” Li Du asked reflexively.

Brother Wolf zoomed in on the video and a blurry shadow came into view.

Young Markelov smacked his lips as he said, “That’s a teenager. We’re not the only ones on this island.”

This was a new discovery. They had no idea that there were other people living on the island before this, despite the information Elson, Li Du and the rest got from going around asking.

On top of that, this was a teenager. It was likely that a village had survived. If not for the fact that they saw the boat at the lake, what else could account for the teenager appearing out of the middle of nowhere?

This discovery gave them a new goal. Brother Wolf replayed the video and found the teenager’s location. After a night’s rest, they would bring their luggage and head to that spot the next morning.

Seagull Island was a mountain island. It was formed by shifts in the earth’s crust. It was also a stone island and there were many mountains and canyons on it.

From the canyon peak, the island’s unique geographical landscape became even more apparent. The rocks on the hills were all folded and the texture was a result of several layers of folds.

To Li Du, this looked like a scroll painting. The others had never seen a scroll painting before so they thought it looked like egg rolls or layers upon layers of twisted bread.

However, they could all agree that the multiple layers of folds on the mountains that surrounded the island in a ring made for a magnificent sight.

As he stared at the folded mountain rocks, Firecracker suddenly said, “Did you notice this sort of texture is just like stone melting into waves? They’re piled one on top of the other, moving about in every direction. Then, when it cools suddenly and freezes, it ends up looking like this.”

Li Du could not help but nod at his words. “That is quite the description. This is just like The Wave.”

The unique geological environment pulled exclamation after exclamation from them. After shuttling back and forth along the valley a few times, Brother Wolf suddenly raised his arm to signal for everybody to stop.

Young Markelov thought the man had found something, so he immediately gripped the gun dangling around his neck and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Brother Wolf looked at him and asked, “Did you find out what this mountain’s called?”

Young Markelov said, “Mountain of the Lost, why?”

Brother Wolf fell silent for a while, then spoke slowly, “It’s a very fitting name. I think I’m lost, boss. I’ve lost my sense of direction.”

Madman sucked in his breath and said, “Damn, I didn’t notice it earlier, but I lost my sense of direction too!”

Li Du did not think this was a big deal. He asked, “What’s the problem? It’s alright, I brought a compass with me.”

As he spoke, he took out a small box from his waist pouch, only to find the compass needle shaking incessantly. Something was interfering with the compass!

Godzilla flipped his dagger around. There was another compass embedded in the handle of the blade.

The interference affected this compass as well, causing the needle to spin out of control.
