Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared-Chapter 565: The Unknown Fear

"Hurry, faster." The pirate urged frantically, appearing very anxious, and the captain was also nervous, sweating profusely. "Impossible, we’re already moving at top speed."

Watching the heavy fog rolling in, swallowing up the island in front, the pirate’s heart sank instantly, but he still clung to a glimmer of hope, "Never mind anything else, keep moving forward, even if we hit an island, just keep going."

The captain gritted his teeth in silence, he didn’t know why the pirates were so eager to get ashore, but it surely had something to do with this thick fog.

The overwhelming fog rolled in, consuming the island, then the cargo ship. In that moment, everyone’s heart seemed to stop, and some even shuddered.

The freighter sailed through the fog, with the captain’s palms sweating out of anxiety. He had no idea what they might hit going at this rate, and it was highly possible that they would run aground as they approached the island.

However, after sailing for a long time, the cargo ship was still moving forward, and no obstacles were visible ahead, which was surprising. As he remembered, before the fog set in, the island that the pirates were heading to wasn’t too far from the cargo ship. Practically speaking, they should’ve encountered it after sailing for such a long period.

The captain was thinking that perhaps due to the fog and the inability to see clearly ahead, a deviation in their course had taken place, causing them to miss the island entirely.

The pirate’s breathing became heavier involuntarily, and his entire body tensed up. He repeatedly checked if the main door was closed. Some pirates aimed their guns out the window, on high alert as if expecting some dangerous circumstance to jump out from the fog.

Meanwhile, Gu Fan, peering out of the window, noticed the vast expanse of white outside. He felt it quite strange; the weather forecast hadn’t predicted heavy fog tonight. This fog seemed to have appeared suddenly and mysteriously.

The four subdued pirates were very nervous and began to shout. Gu Fan, who couldn’t understand their language, didn’t know what they were saying. Thankfully, a crew member who understood their dialect translated for him, "There’s a danger. Lock all doors and windows. Don’t go outside."

"Danger?" Gu Fan was somewhat puzzled. It was certainly risky sailing in this thick fog, but why lock doors and windows? Could this fog be dangerous in some manner? Was it poisonous?

With that thought, Gu Fan quickly checked all the doors and windows to ensure they were in a closed state, then breathed a sigh of relief.

Then the pirates said again: "Prepare your weapons quickly. Any weapon will do. Give our guns back to us."

Hearing this, Gu Fan looked contemptuous. After finally subduing these four pirates, he wasn’t going to give their guns back to them. That idea was laughable.

Suddenly there was a clanging noise that startled everyone. It felt as if something had stepped on the deck with considerable force to cause such a commotion.

Observing the frightened look on the pirates’ faces, Gu Fan knew that this was certainly not good news. Everyone was involuntarily tense.

The heaviness of the footsteps on the ship was rather unusual; all the people were very tense as if they expected something to strike at any moment. Especially Gu Fan, who had been holding onto the pirates’ guns.

The footsteps were getting closer, making their way toward the cabin where Gu Fan and others were. But the door was fogged up, they couldn’t see what was outside and didn’t dare to look for fear of seeing something terrifying.

Gu Fan wrinkled his brows and instructed everyone to duck down or stay close to the walls. Whilst the rhythm of the approaching footsteps quickened, adding to his racing heartbeat.

Sitting and waiting for the inevitable wasn’t going to help. Gu Fan signaled to check for alternative escape routes. A crew member pointed to a passage that led to the other side of the ship through the kitchen.

Gu Fan thought, if the abnormality outside got in, they couldn’t be trapped here, they had to find another escape route.

Suddenly, the footsteps outside became very clear, as if they had reached the door, causing everyone’s hearts to leap into their throats. What on earth was outside? Nobody knew.

Then the unthinkable happened, the footsteps suddenly stopped, and the silence was deafening. This brought a sudden sense of horror.

"My God! What on earth is outside?" Gu Fan’s hands and feet turned icy cold. He had the distinct feeling that something was standing outside, examining them, sizing up the situation, or pondering how to break in.

After waiting for a while, they heard no movement outside the door. Just when everyone thought it might have been a false alarm, a sudden loud bang rang out as an external force hit the door. The heavy iron door was instantly deformed by the impact.

The sight of it left everyone aghast. Then there was a second bang, causing even more severe deformation of the iron door as if it was about to give way. freewebnøvel_com

"Quick, crawl!" Gu Fan shouted urgently. Under the crew members’ guidance, everyone began to scramble toward the other passage. They all rushed forward; even the tied-up pirates struggled to stand up and ran.

Having run only a little way, Gu Fan heard the sound of the door being blasted open which sent a chill down his spine. He dared not look back and just kept running forward.

They passed through the kitchen to another cabin. With so many people present – Gu Fan and his party, the crew, the pirates – the situation was total chaos. Gu Fan didn’t even know where his companions were.

Thankfully, Gu Fan joined up with Lu Yi and Jie, and the three of them ran together, trying to go to the lower ship as much as possible. They hoped to lose whatever was chasing them in the complex interior of the ship.

A pirate was knocked over in the dash and fell. As he was tied up, it was difficult for him to stand up. By the time he managed to get back on his feet, the people ahead of him had entirely disappeared. He was left in the rear.

A scream of horror echoed throughout, making everyone’s hair stand on end. This fear made them shiver, their thoughts a mess.

Who was left behind, and what did he encounter? The unknown fear tortured everyone.

"Damn, where did the others go?" Gu Fan was worried about his companions as he kept running. When another scream rang out it imposed a greater degree of pressure and fear onto him. He had no choice but to keep running.

Two people had already become victims. Gu Fan only hoped they weren’t his companions. He hoped Ouyang Jin, Du Jun, and Xu Haowen had not been separated and that Lin Xi, Su Hui, Gu Fan, and Qin Jia were safe.

"Damn it, we’ve just set foot in the Triangle Sea Area, and now we’ve run into this mess." Gu Fan couldn’t help but glance back. The sight was surreal as the fog was pouring into the ship, seemingly chasing them.
