Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 413

[Chapter 411]

The click of the Fog Panic switch is constantly ringing in the secret room, and the metal reed hums rhythmically when it is connected and disconnected. The antenna sent out, and the message from the Fog Fleet was sent into this secret room, which was translated into the click of relays and a series of regular round holes in the paper tape.

Nemo was sitting in front of the table wearing earphones, and while monitoring the movement in the earphones, he tapped the table with his fingers a little irritably. The paper tape came out, reading the round hole on it.

After a while, Nemo pulled off the headphones on his head, leaned back on the chair, and took a long breath while pinching his brows.

“Captain Tirian has already started fighting with the strange fleet that appeared in the fog. The situation of the Frost Navy’s battle is temporarily unknown, but the situation seems to be not very good,” the young girl holding the tape lowered her voice and said in a somewhat nervous tone. “There is no wind in the city…”

“The dense fog blocked the news channels among the people. Even if the residents in the coastal area heard the gunshots, they would not know what was going on, and the city-state authorities must now maintain the city limits. The order in the city—widespread panic won’t help the navy,” Timo pinched his brows, “How’s the situation on the street outside? What about in the store?

” , but there seemed to be gunshots from far away just now, and two steam walkers passed by the intersection of Oak Street and hurried to the north,” the young girl replied, “the store is in good condition now, we There is enough fuel for lighting, but…”

“But?”

“There are more than a dozen guests trapped here by the thick fog. Now the streets have been blocked and the shelters are full. They have nowhere to go. It’s been a long time. , Panic will inevitably accumulate among these people.”

“…That can’t drive them out on the street, the tavern is now their temporary shelter, and if you really want to drive people out, it will definitely attract the sheriff and the people from the church ,” Nemo shook his head, “I’ll go up and see the situation later.”

As soon as the informant of the Sea Mist Fleet finished speaking, there was a sudden murmur from the corner of the room: “Clash again, charge again…they’re coming in…reinforcements are coming…” Nemo frowned

. Frowning, he stood up and looked towards where the voice came from.

There was a bed there, and an old man in sloppy clothes was lying on it in a daze. The old man’s back was bent, and he was holding a big wrench that he didn’t know where he got it in his arms. He seemed to be lying very unsteadily.

“Old ghost, old ghost,” Nemo walked over and patted the old man’s shoulder, “Did you have a nightmare?”

The old man holding the big wrench opened his eyes in a daze, and after a few seconds he said, “Are you Who?”

“I’m Nemo,” Nemo Wilkins said with a complicated expression, “What did you dream about?”

“Nemo… oh, Nemo, I remember, you’re from the Queen’s Guard Newcomer… hello, I’m a plumbing engineer for the Second Waterway…dream? I’m not dreaming, I just dozed off and just dozed off… what time is it now? Should I check the power pipeline? “

It’s already afternoon now,” Nemo shook his head, “don’t think about the power pipeline, we’ve temporarily withdrawn from that place, and it’s not safe anywhere now, we have to stay at the stronghold and wait for instructions—” This is an order from General Tirian.”

“General Tirian…” The old ghost’s eyes were in a trance, and he seemed to wake up suddenly, and immediately got up from the bed, “Yes! Engineer Wilson received the order! Stand by at the stronghold!

” Mo’s expression was a little complicated, but he slowly stood up straight and returned the military salute to the old man, then turned around and nodded to the young girl in the uniform of the clerk: “You stay here to take care of the old ghost, I’ll go Confirm the situation.”

After the order, he left the secret room and returned to the tavern on the surface through the secret passage.

In the “Golden Flute” tavern, a depressive and tense atmosphere filled the lobby. The guests who were trapped in the store due to the thick fog, and the clerks and waiters who stayed behind on duty in the tavern, almost everyone was paying attention to the situation outside the window—— As far as the eye can see, all that can be seen is the dense fog and the streets that are indistinct in the dense fog.

The gas lamps in the whole city have already been lit in advance, and the man-made lights barely dispelled the darkness brought by this weird thick fog, but they are not enough to make this chaotic world clear again, those dim light clusters are like rootless duckweed Like floating in the mist, it looks like rows of eyes floating above the street.

Nemo came out from the back kitchen door and came to the counter.

“How’s the situation?” he whispered to the clerk behind the counter.

“Everyone is very nervous. The traffic and communication with the surrounding blocks are all cut off. No one knows what’s going on elsewhere,” the clerk said in a low voice. Willing to run into the fog at this time.”

Nemo nodded lightly: “If there are such fools, don’t stop them, let them go-but once they step out of this door, even if they just stay in the fog For a second, they must not be allowed to come back. From now on, no entry is allowed here, and everything that comes from the fog will be regarded as evil by default.” The young clerk swallowed nervously and nodded

vigorously : “Yes, manager.”

At this moment, a strange buzzing sound suddenly came from the street, interrupting the conversation between Nemo and his men.

It sounded like something was starting up, with the sound of heavy machinery moving on the street.

The people in the store were in a commotion for a while. Some people came to the window nervously and watched the movement on the street outside. Some people saw some moving red lights appearing in the fog, and they exclaimed in a low voice: “The steam walker… …the walker appeared again!”

Nemo also walked towards the window, and just as he was halfway there, he heard the weird buzzing sound suddenly sharpened, followed by a slightly distorted loudspeaker sound There was a sound from outside the window—it was the broadcasting device carried on the steam walker shouting.

“Zizi… I would like to warn the general public… The consul and the leaders of the church are restoring the order of the city-state… Frost is being affected by unknown visions. We are… reminding residents to stay at home or in safe shelters. At the same time, for the sake of safety, stay as far away as possible from all things that can produce mirrors, including but not limited to mirrors, water surfaces, and smooth metal… “

Again, please stay away from all things that may produce mirrors around you, everything.

“In addition, if you find people around you behaving strangely, please immediately hide in a safe and independent space, and seek help from the person in charge of the shelter facility or the nearest guard or sheriff if conditions permit, and do not rush to anyone you feel Suspicious people launch attacks, please give priority to ensuring your own safety and isolation.

“If you feel that your state is different, please immediately hide in a safe and independent space, and avoid talking to other people as much as possible… “

The above is from the consul Reminder from His Excellency Winston and the expert consultants in the extraordinary field.

“Admonish the general public…”

The sound of the broadcast gradually faded away, and gradually merged into the thick fog together with the red warning light of the steam walker.

Nemo raised his head, and what he saw He was surrounded by pairs of deep-set nervous eyes.

But he quickly realized.

“Go get the cloth! ’ he shouted to the clerks and waiters, ‘cover all the glass counters and mirrors! “

Everyone has also reacted. Although the tension is still there, the residents of the city-state obviously have the basic common sense and psychological quality of self-rescue in extraordinary disasters. The shop assistants quickly fetched the dust-proof cloth after closing , the guests who stayed in the store stepped forward to help, and covered everything that might produce mirrors within the line of sight at a fast speed.

And similar situations are happening in every corner of the entire Frost City.

The horror of the fog It was covering the city-state.

In the thick fog, Agatha had returned to the cathedral.

She saw Bishop Ivan who had just finished working in the lounge next to the cathedral.

The bishop walked out of the “coffin” where he usually rested, and put on the robes of an archbishop over the bandages all over his body. In Agatha’s memory, she had not seen Yi for many years. Bishop Fan’s attire.

“Even my corpse has to get up and work.” Bishop Ivan in robes sat on a chair and spread his hands to Agatha who had just entered the room, “It’s been too long since I’ve been outside the coffin , I feel tired and falling apart.”

“If you still have a body to ‘fall apart’,” Agatha said casually, “how is the situation now?” “The

situation, everyone is asking how the situation is– It can’t be worse,” Bishop Ivan’s hoarse and deep voice came from under the bandage, “The counterfeit is attacking the city, and the monsters that were lurking before are also starting to show up. Just now, several cemeteries were attacked, and those who temporarily parked the dead The place seems to be used by the enemy as a ‘passage’ into the real world. There is also news from the city hall, gunshots are heard from several streets in the lower city, and on the sea, our fleet has already appeared in the sea. ” A

full-scale attack has begun, but what is worse than the enemy’s full-scale attack is that we still don’t know the whole picture of the disaster or the conspiracy, those heretics hiding in the dark… how do they do it?” After all this, where are they hiding? Bishop Ivan

said, slowly raising his head and looking into Agatha’s eyes.

“What did you find underground?” From the look in your eyes, I guess you must have seen something.

“I didn’t find the lairs where the heretics were hiding, but I found… more disturbing clues. ” Agatha

took a light breath, and after a moment’s pause, she slowly said—

“Our boiling gold mine seems to have been exhausted decades ago, or even longer ago. “
