Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 420

[Chapter 418]

Martha appeared from the black mist in the small mirror she carried with her, and her voice broke into Lawrence’s ears: “Did you see the light in the distance?” “Yes,” Lawrence

nodded At the same time, he raised his head and looked at the incredible scene in front of him-a large black phantom floating on the sea surface, vaguely resembling the outline of a city-state, but could not see any details in it, but under the water was a brightly lit scene. The port docks, as well as various buildings on the edge of the city-state, the White Oak gradually approached the opposite light and shadow without being controlled by anyone. Countless shadowy ship phantoms floated on the distant sea, as if they were falling into the sea. Fighting fiercely, in this confused vision of light and shadow, virtual and real, he even felt that he was illusory

. Your field of vision is reversed, but in my eyes it is a normal landscape – but soon, it will all be reversed again,” Martha said with a smile on her face, “Go get ready, soon I will dock at an abandoned trestle at the southern corner of Donggang Wharf, and I will try to get the boat as close to a sewer inspection port as possible, take your mirror, and I will guide you all the way to the second waterway.” “

Then …The other fakes will react, right?” Lawrence still couldn’t help worrying, “If you really can’t beat it, you can retreat first with the White Oak and Black Oak. At our current speed, those fakes will definitely It can’t be stopped.”

Martha rolled her eyes: “Of course, I’m not stupid—my mission is just to send you here and delay the time a little bit, but I don’t intend to rely on two twin ghost ships to kill the entire Mirror Frost’s fleet, they can’t be killed cleanly.”

Lawrence nodded and turned to look behind him.

Anomaly 077 is squatting on the deck, fiddling with a rope that he didn’t know where to find, and raising his head from time to time to observe the chimney and flagpole of the White Oak, looking quite troubled.

“Isn’t it popular in your time to hang sailors who have made mistakes on the mast?” the mummy muttered suspiciously.

“Still thinking about your noose?” Lawrence suddenly raised his eyebrows, and said in a bad tone, “Put down the rope, and go to the first officer to get a machete and guns and ammunition. We are ready to go ashore.

” I just fell asleep, why didn’t it work…” Anomaly 077 was still muttering in confusion, and then suddenly realized, “Huh? Go ashore?! You still want to take me this time?” “The anomaly of the evil

sect It’s very appropriate to deal with the evil city-state,” Lawrence said with a serious face, “We’re going to enter the depths of the frost through the second waterway—don’t waste time, go get your weapons.” The sailor was startled for a moment, and then

responded Come here and get up immediately: “Yes, Captain!”

The White Oak gradually approached the darkness where reality was reversed, approached the lights reflected in the sea, and an elite and powerful marine team had gathered behind Lawrence.

The first mate, Gus, was not in the team, but was arranged by Lawrence to stay on board.

The old captain made the arrangements with a serious face: “There will be a fierce battle afterwards, and all the fake warships near the port will react and attack the White Oak and Black Oak. You have to stay on board to command the battle– as long as possible Time, retreat with Martha if you can’t delay.”

“I understand,” Gus nodded, but he still looked at the “sailor” who was fiddling with his new weapon behind Lawrence, ” But… is he really reliable?”

Lawrence glanced back, abnormality 077-sailor also just raised his head, the mummy had a scimitar on his waist, but threw the rifle and bullet bag in his hand to the side of the wooden On the barrel, muttering in his mouth: “I can just carry a scimitar, I don’t know how to use this thing.” “

You are free, if you think a scimitar is enough for you to deal with the second waterway of the mirror city-state “Lawrence said casually, “If a person who doesn’t know how to use a gun gets a gun, it’s really counterproductive.”

The sailor thought for a while, but still didn’t touch the rifle, but went to the box where the weapon was stored, and took it from inside A machete hung from his belt.

Lawrence didn’t say anything, just lowered his head and glanced at his palm.

He slowly exerted force, clenched his fist, and opened it. He adjusted his breathing, and vaguely sketched in his mind the phantom of a ship burning with ghostly flames, with the sails of the spirit body flying high, recalling the burning flames, The feeling of the body being transformed in the flames.

It took him a long time before he saw a faint green color appear in his palm lines, and tiny flames flowed slowly in the lines.

There was a slight vibration from the deck under her feet, and the White Oak started to brake. The hazy darkness outside the ship was close at hand, and Martha’s voice came from the small mirror on her chest—“Attention, the ship is going fast

. Dock, and then I will reverse the phase again and cancel the twin projection, you jump onto the pier from the left, and then go straight, I will guide the way.” “I’m ready.”

Lawrence exhaled softly, and slowly came to the side of the ship beside.

“I’m ready too!” Anomaly 077 followed closely behind the captain, with a hint of excitement and anticipation in his hoarse voice, “Go ashore! Fight! The pirates are coming!” “We are not pirates,” Lawrence looked

back Glancing at the mummy, “We are honorable sailors.”

“Dock,” Martha’s voice came from the mirror almost simultaneously, “Three, two, one…reverse phase!”

In an instant, the light and shadow changed, and the virtual and real exchanged .

Everything around Lawrence seemed to flicker violently, and then, the reflection in the sea rose, and the darkness in front of him reversed, as if passing through an invisible mirror in an instant, and frosty piers and trestles appeared in front of him, and always The damp and cold feeling lingering around, as if immersed in sea water, also disappeared in an instant!

The next second, he saw a black shadow suddenly appear on the sea beside the White Oak, and the silhouette of the Black Oak quickly emerged from the shadow.

After the light and shadow were reversed, the Black Oak and the White Oak were released from the state of mutual reflection, and instead appeared on the sea in the form of twin battleships, ready to cooperate with their sister ships.

In an instant, lampposts appeared on the pier, police sirens sounded in the streets and alleys in the distance, chaotic wind whimpered and howled in the port, and the sound of warships firing hastily sounded from a distance, like a chaotic thunder.

The reaction came so fast? !

Lawrence was startled, but his reaction was not slow at all. He kicked down the rope ladder and was the first to rush out: “Let’s go!” A

marine team composed of more than a dozen capable sailors rushed to the pier and walked along the Martha The suggested route rushed to the distant intersection, and Lawrence took the lead.

The cold wind was whistling in my ears, and the sound of sirens and guns in the distance had an intermittent and distorted texture. Under the chaotic and dim sky, Lawrence held the revolver tightly in one hand and the sharp sword in the other, and ran wildly in this ghostly city-state with distorted mirror images. , Martha’s voice kept coming—

“At the intersection ahead, turn left, bypass the sentry box… Go straight, take the alley on the right, the entrance is at the end…”

Behind, there are hurried and chaotic footsteps of the sailors, in their hands, It is a trustworthy weapon, next to your ears, it is the sound of your lover’s perfect cooperation.

Lawrence ran faster and faster. In a trance, he seemed to feel that the old age and exhaustion accumulated over the past few decades had gone away from this body. He felt that his heart was beating like a young man, and his blood vessels were rushing with youth and vitality. The same blood—that wanton high-spirited years came back to his mind.

Back, all back.

He stepped forward, swinging his arms, and faint green flames appeared behind him like phantoms, and beside him, behind him, green flames began to emerge from the sailors, flesh and blood reflected in the flames A ghostly, unreal texture.

Anomaly 077’s voice sounded like ghosts and wolves: “Captain! I’m afraid!”

“If you’re afraid, get closer to the team!” Lawrence grinned, with inexplicable joy in his voice, “This city can’t stop us!”

On the side of Abnormality 077 Followed Lawrence and ran forward while continuing to cry and howl: “I’m afraid of you!”

“Then you should work hard to adapt-I won’t retire, so don’t you either!”

Lawrence said loudly happily that he didn’t mind at all that his voice would reveal the whereabouts of the team, and he didn’t worry that this act of running carelessly on the street would attract the “guards” of the city-state.

Because from the very beginning, it was impossible to “infiltrate” – the moment the uninvited guest stepped into the mirrored city, the living city had already reacted.

Fog slowly filled the street, and in the eerie and dim mist, something indistinct emerged from it.

“The street is foggy!” he yelled. “Martha, is this normal?

” The coming fog is just ahead.”

“Okay!”

Lawrence responded loudly, leading the sailors to rush towards the fog, and in the fog, one after another wobbled and distorted figures stood up, with deformed bodies, Wrong number of eyes, howling and whispering in the mist, coming staggeringly.

Lawrence raised the muzzle of his gun, but before he and the sailors fired, a series of dense gunshots sounded from the other side of the fog.

A spider-like steam walker suddenly appeared in the fog. The heavily armed city guard soldiers built a barricade around the walker. The rifles in the hands of the soldiers and the turret placed on the top of the steam walker spewed out flames, instantly killing The monsters in the fog were torn to shreds.

Lawrence ran past the edge of the battle area. He looked at the city guards who suddenly appeared in astonishment, but the next second, those soldiers and the steam walker disappeared into the thick fog, leaving only a messy pile of rubble.

“Here we are, the entrance to the sewer – there is an elevator at the end of the walk below, which leads directly to the second waterway!”
