章 298: Chapter 298 - Storms Guard the Island

The sky above them was blanketed with gray clouds, swirling ominously around the search area. 

The captain's face began to crease with worry, for he had never encountered such peculiar weather phenomena before.

The search for Talon, the missing crew member, pressed on, yet whenever the rescue vessels approached the island, the weather would take a sudden turn for the worse. Storm signs invariably loomed.

"We just need to advance a bit more, Captain, and we'll reach the island," pointed out one of his men, his voice tinged with a mixture of hope and concern.

The captain shook his head, skepticism etched across his face. "No, we cannot proceed any further," he said firmly.

"But, sir, that's one of the areas we haven't searched yet," the crew member insisted, desperation creeping into his tone.

Waves began to rise, causing the search vessel to rock precariously.
