Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 464
[Chapter 462 Confluence]
layers of blocked underground depths, hidden facilities leading directly to the sea, huge unknown projects, secrets buried between countless truths and lies——half a century of concealment, past hopes and expectations, Fears and taboos that persist to this day.
All of these are gathered in front of Agatha at this moment, cast in cold metal, suspended silently between intertwined girders like bones, like the years that have been frozen and then restarted—a machine secretly built by the city-state authorities
. submersible.
Agatha stood quietly in front of the huge and silent machine, staring at the pile of steel through the thick black cloth belt, a wordless pressure seemed to be jumping on the edge of her perception, after a long time, she finally realized Opened to break the silence—with a hoarse voice: “How did you find out?”
“There is a lot of luck,” said Tirian. There are only a handful of insiders, and most of them may have died in the final defense battle, but after taking over the work of the city hall, I noticed some… abnormal flow of funds and personnel, and they all Point to a ‘non-public scientific research project’ in this port.”
He said, turning his head and looking at the huge thing hanging between the steel beams.
“There is nothing to say about the rest. Since Nangang was completely occupied, we searched here with all our might – and found a suspicious warehouse, a suspicious shaft, a suspicious underground facility, and A suspicious submersible.”
Tirian had a calm expression on his face when he said this, but Agatha couldn’t help but marvel at the ability of this “Steel Vice Admiral” even if he was just listening in – he was so fast. Taking over and understanding everything about Frost, this is not at all something that a person who has been away from the city-state for half a century can do.
Such a confidential facility cannot be easily found by finding some clues.
It was as if he had never left Frost.
“This machine… can it be used now?” After a short silence, Agatha couldn’t help asking.
“Need to check,” Tirian shook his head, “Although this submersible is built based on the blueprint left by the Frost Queen, it uses a lot of modern and even modern technologies, and there are many The above-ground devices used to support the operation of the submersible, such as air pumps, cables and communication equipment, we need to understand the status and function of these devices.” The bad news is that people who know these technical details are probably gone-
died in In the previous Frost Defense War. When we discovered this underground facility, it was locked from the inside, and the people inside seemed to want to keep those monsters in isolation rooms, but unfortunately…they didn’t know the scale of the disaster. “
Tirion shook his head slightly when he said this.
“But there is also good news,” he raised his hand and pointed around, “the submersible is intact, including everything in this hall. Agatha
didn’t speak, but raised her head in silence, and turned to look in the direction she came from.
The heavy and slightly distorted door stood quietly in her chaotic field of vision, and the blood on the door faintly outlined The outline of the palm print, the vitality in the blood has gone, but the outline still glows faintly in her vision.
Tirian’s voice came from the side, interrupting Agatha’s thoughts: “Next, I will Try to find someone with knowledge of this secret project – maybe not all technicians were staying at the facility at the time, but if you really can’t find any surviving technicians, it will only have to let some of the Sea Fog Fleet The old guys took their chances.
Agatha frowned suspiciously: “Sea Fog Fleet? ” A smile appeared on Tirian
‘s face: “They were involved in the submersible project back then. They will be surprised when they see this submersible.” Agatha
fell silent.
Thousands of emotions fluctuated in her heart. She didn’t know whether to lament the reincarnation of history, or to rejoice that everything is returning to its proper place.
Tirian on the side also fell silent. The steel lieutenant general gradually suppressed the smile on his face, and slowly scanned the hall with a silent and solemn gaze. Finally, his gaze stayed on the door leading to the elevator. on the gate.
He nodded slightly, as if paying tribute to this unknown folly and feat.
…
The sea breeze is gentle, and the breaking waves are rolling.
The surging power output by the steam core drove the ship under his feet, and the cold sea breeze blowing head-on dispelled the distracting thoughts in his mind. Lawrence stood on the high front deck of the White Oak, wearing the suit he had worn for many years. The captain’s coat, overlooking the distant sea.
However, the old captain’s heart was not as calm as he showed at the moment.
A gentle female voice came from the small mirror hanging on his chest: “Are you nervous?” “
This tension has not been relieved since leaving Frost,” Lawrence smacked his lips, “After all, this is going to Take the initiative to ‘meet’ with that ship—for a hundred years, the captains of the Infinite Sea have only tried their best to escape from that ship, but we are actively approaching it. If you tell me about this kind of thing, the guys from the Explorers Association will definitely think me Crazy.”
“There are not many captains in the boundless sea who are not crazy – and you will become the most eye-catching legend among these crazy captains,” Martha said with a smile in her tone, “Is it a little bit crazy to think so? A little motivation?”
Lawrence sighed: “You tell a man who is about to be hanged that the noose you give him is the most beautiful of all the ropes – you can even tie him a bow, you think it will Does it have a comforting effect?”
Martha in the mirror opened her mouth, as if she was about to speak, but a hoarse and noisy voice suddenly came from a flagpole not far away: “Yes! As long as the noose works, don’t say It’s a bow, you can tie me into a bow!”
Lawrence’s mouth trembled, and he turned his head to look at the direction from which the voice came—a noose was hanging down from the high flagpole at the bow, abnormally. Hanging himself on that noose, swinging to and fro with the rocking of the boat, looking wicked and eerie.
“Are you still planning to come down?” Lawrence looked at the mummy hanging on the flagpole angrily, “You’ve been hanging there all day.
” I’m sleepy,” shouted the mummy hanging itself on the flagpole with a noose, “I’ll hang on for a while—you promised me, I can choose a place to sleep for myself.” “…I promised you
can Choose a place for yourself to rest without affecting other people, but you didn’t say you were going to hang yourself on the flagpole at the time,” Lawrence stared, “I advise you to give up, your sealing method is obviously already Invalid—honestly follow me to the Lost Home to report is your only choice.”
The mummy hanging on the flagpole suddenly let out an exaggerated wail, but Lawrence was not in the mood to talk to this guy anymore, but lowered his head again, facing his chest. The little mirror said, “Do you think it will go well?”
“Why ask me?”
“Your intuition has always been sharp—it was also the day when you were responsible for deciding every time you left the port.” “
…Do you even remember this… …” There was exclamation in Martha’s voice, and then she smiled lightly, “Don’t worry so much, haven’t you accepted your new status as a member of the Lost Fleet? And this is not the first time you have Meet that ship.”
“That’s the reason—but the nervousness is really nervous,” Lawrence sighed, and subconsciously straightened his neckline again, “Besides, the last time I met that ship The process is not worth remembering at all, that scene would be a nightmare for any captain.” “
Be more careful, at least this time the Lost Land will not run straight towards you again…”
There was a creaking A tooth-piercing noise suddenly came, interrupting Martha’s words.
In the next second, Lawrence found that layers of dark green flames appeared out of thin air around the White Oak under his feet, followed by the loud roar of the engine, and the violent swing caused by the sudden turning of the rudder!
In the blink of an eye, the originally calm sea changed its appearance. Countless hair-like, pitch-black and terrifying shadows suddenly appeared on the blue sea surface, and the sunlight in the sky also dimmed and illusory. Fog and fog fell from the sky like a giant curtain, and the entire ocean was polluted by the “hair” and became pitch black.
The mummy hanging on the flagpole screamed almost instantly.
And amidst the ear-piercing screams of the mummy and the exclamations of the sailors, Lawrence realized that the White Oak had been dragged into the spirit world by some powerful force—accompanied by the thrilling roar and the sudden oncoming wind and waves, A towering figure of a ship burning with raging flames rushed out of the thick fog ahead!
Homeless appeared.
Like a flaming cliff, it crushed towards this side overwhelmingly.
Anomaly 077’s scream resounded almost throughout the sea area: “It’s crashing, it’s crashing! Damn it’s still crashing! I’m not playing anymore! I want to go home! Let me go! I want to go home! Ah! ——”
Then, the bow of the Lost Home suddenly stopped amidst the ear-piercing screams of the “sailor”—it was less than half a meter away from the side of the White Oak’s bow, and it stopped in an incredible way down.
Lawrence stood at the bow of the ship in a daze. After a long while, he rolled his eyes. Then he raised his head dully, looking at the ghost ship towering in front of his eyes amidst the raging flames.
The terrifying scene in his memory merged with reality, he came to this location again, and witnessed this doomsday-like scenery once again.
Homeless is here.
A tall figure appeared in his field of vision – Duncan Abu Normar, the eternal master of the Lost Home, standing on a high ship’s side, overlooking here.
This is the second time Lawrence has come face to face with this legendary being.
Then, he heard the other party speak, the voice was low, like a majestic thunder –
“Lawrence, what the hell is going on on your boat?”
