Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 866

[Chapter 847 Depth 3, Night]

Chapter 847 Depth 3, night.

Every day in the following days, everyone on the boundless sea saw the shining of the black sun – the false sunshine filled and covered the entire world, behind the creation of the world. , the last lighthouse on the sea spread its light to all corners of the sanctuary, and it lasted for many days and nights.

People have speculated about the origin of the “glow”. Some speculated that it was a sign of further collapse of the world. Some speculated that it was the creation of the world that was undergoing some kind of change. The last optimists believed that it was the sunshine that was about to return to the world. In the end The pessimists believe that all things have reached the time of death – but for more “people”… they don’t care about the sunshine.

Having lost their self-awareness, the entities that acted blindly and foolishly in the mist and night staggered through the city, gnawing and tearing the food in their “cognition”, and their low roars seemed to fill the whole world, with another layer. Layers of murmurs came from the depths of the city-state;

huge shadows that swelled and shrank appeared on the sea, and the shadows gathered toward the coastline of the city-state. They were fleets of unknown identity returning from all corners of history, forgotten. And the invisible sailors and pirates took advantage of the night to board the city-state, but they melted into the night in the roar. No one knew where they went, but there seemed to be a low and vague sound coming from every intersection at every pier. Barcarolles and trumpets;

the city’s buildings are waking up in the night. After the last awake person leaves them, they forget their original appearance in the fog. The roofs open up their stacked eyes, and the chimneys roll up in the night. Shrinking, the windows grew fangs, and every door sang loudly in the night, emitting the loudest noise in the memory of the city-state;

and those real madmen who woke up, built a tower deep in the city. High walls.

They maintained communication with each other with the help of sewers and the few urban rail transits that were still running. The survivors of the city hall and church ensured the final order.

People take turns sleeping to ensure that at least one pair of eyes is open in every corner of these last refuges, to prevent scales and flesh from growing on the high walls and roofs.

The night watchmen walked through the night, searching for the last survivors in the completely twisted and fallen city to prevent them from being swallowed up and wiped out by other entities that had lost their humanity.

Everyone received the final order – that order originally originated from the distant northern city-states, and was later passed to the entire world with the establishment and mutual communication of various city-state alliances. Its core content is only one:

survive and do everything possible. May it survive, don’t let too many people fall in the final darkness before dawn.

Although the death mechanism has been shut down, people swallowed by night and madness will still disappear into this world. They will turn into useless remnants in the shelter, unable to usher in the “dawn” – the last protectors of this world. Everything possible should be done to avoid this happening, and those who are protected are talking about that “dawn” in the high walls cautiously, cautiously, but full of hope and expectation.

People are talking about a new world that will appear at the end of this long night.

No one knows how the news first came out, and no one knows whether this was the intentional guidance of the protectors. This may be just a distant and ethereal hope, but in this night of sinking everything, there must be a hope spreading and growing. .

Lawrence stood on a section of the old city wall in the western part of Faeren, quietly looking into the distance.

This section of the old city wall has recently been repaired and reinforced, and now it is part of the shelter in this frontier city-state. The high shelter wall extends from the port area and closes near the steam hub factory. The high wall is the most important part of the city. All the survivors.

The few remaining survivors are concentrated in the two churches outside the high wall and the apartment buildings near the churches. The night watchers are trying to connect the underground structures of several shelters to protect everyone.

There was a terrifying roar coming from the depths of the night, interspersed with the sound of a steam walker firing, and several consecutive flashes of light appeared deep in the flowing clouds, and then everything gradually returned to calm – after a long time, a The flare went up from that direction, blooming a lasting light in the night sky.

The faint “sunlight” escaping from behind the creation of the world complements the light of the signal flare.

“It seems that there are no survivors in that direction, there are only monsters spawned by the city itself,” Martha’s voice came from the small mirror on Lawrence’s chest, “It’s now, there shouldn’t be any new ones.” The Awakeners appeared deep in those long-lost neighborhoods. “

Faellen is a small city, and the search operation will be over soon. In the days to come, the main task of the Night Watch is to ensure the safety within the high walls. “Lawrence nodded slightly, “But in other city-states, the search for survivors should continue until the end… In those

old maze-like blocks, there will always be people who are still insisting on waiting. Help…”

Martha hummed softly and did not speak again.

The “sunshine” behind the Creation of the World slowly dimmed, then reappeared a moment later, illuminating the entire sky.

“…Who would have thought that the ‘Black Sun’ would eventually light up the sky,” Martha broke the silence softly. “Even a year ago, this kind of crazy talk would have made even the sun believers crazy. “

But no one in this world except us now remembers what the ‘Black Sun’ is,” Lawrence sighed and shook his head. “All the fear and worship of Him have been folded into it.” Lost in the abandoned history.”

He raised his head and looked at the dim sunlight filling the sky.

The “Black Sun” that has been forgotten by the entire world is still slowly flickering on the back of the creation of the world, and there is no living creature in this world that still needs his sunshine to shine.

He is just lighting the pilot light for the last ship in the world that is still sailing.

The sound of footsteps came from behind, and Lawrence retracted his gaze to the sky. He turned around and saw a shriveled and ugly figure wearing an ill-fitting crew uniform walking through the mist, stepping onto the city wall, and came to him. before.

“Captain, I’m back to report.” The sailor tugged at the hem of the crew uniform and pulled the corners of his mouth into an ugly and terrifying smile.

Lawrence looked at the sailor up and down, and twitched at the corner of his eye: “…Can you stop being so happy every time you see me? It’s scary.”

The sailor suddenly grinned: “I was observing on the way here. Looking outside the high wall, I look like this, which is already average-to-upper-class in today’s city-state. “

Lawrence spat aside, but did not continue to tease the mummy. Instead, he took two steps forward, reached out and patted the sailor on the shoulder.

“How’s it going on the Homeless?”

The sailor thought for a while, with a deep look on his face. The ravine slowly unfolded: “It’s a nice place. “

That’s good,” Lawrence laughed, then shook his head with a smile, “Then the wonderful expat job is over now…”

He opened his hands in a welcoming gesture: “Welcome back to the White Oak. “

The sailor also laughed and greeted him with open hands: “It’s a great honor. “

Lawrence hid aside: “I just wanted to express my gratitude for the real hug – go back and wash yourself, your rotten flesh is all rotten.”

…

“Teacher Moss has already brought his The family went to the shelter, and now he signed up to join the city wall guard team… It is said that at first, the person in charge of the city wall guard saw an old man coming to sign up and rejected him, and then the teacher beat everyone on the scene. A meal…

“Miss Vanna is now staying at the cathedral – she is in command of the Night’s Watch troops there. It is said that there are still many out-of-control priests under house arrest in the cathedral. She is very busy every day, but I felt that she was quite happy last time I saw her… Did she also tell you? Yes, she is very happy to come back. Going to the city-state can help…

“Have the sailors and Miss Agatha arrived at their destinations safely? That’s good…I heard that the number of fleets heading north is increasing. Less. It is said that the situation on the Lenglie Sea side is not good. I was a little worried before… As long as we arrive safely, it is probably the last fleet.

“How is the situation on Miss Lucretia’s side? Try the delicacies of Breezeport? Really or not… She deserves to be a Miss Witch…

Nina’s mumbling voice echoed in her heart, and Duncan sat on the big wooden barrel on the edge of the deck of the Lost Home. , listening to the voice from afar, with a faint smile on his face.

“Do you and Shirley have any plans?” he asked suddenly.

Nina was quiet for a few seconds: “… Shirley and I decided to stay at the antique shop.”

“Don’t you go to the asylum or the cathedral? The situation is somewhat better over there.

“No Go, we have no other relatives, and we are not worried about safety issues, so there is little point in going to the shelter – now Agou and Shirley are responsible for patrolling the store, and I am responsible for maintaining the light and temperature of the antique store. This small store also It can be regarded as a small ‘sanctuary’ in this neighborhood. Occasionally, the Night Watch troops pass by and you can come in and have a rest. They are all Miss Vanna’s subordinates… By the way, they also said that this place The antique shop is “the city-state’s most reliable night safe house.”

Nina’s voice sounded happy with a hint of pride. She seemed to be very satisfied with the current situation. When Duncan listened, he let go of his little worry. It seemed

that The two girls used another method to “run” the small antique shop, and they managed it very well.

And while Nina was chatting away, Duncan saw a change from the corner of his eye. At the end of the passage, the outlines of layers of light and shadow clouds appeared deep in the gray-white background. The “sunlight” that permeated the entire jump passage covered the distant clouds and mist,

slowly

outlining the silhouette of the eternal curtain.

“Nina.

“

“

The girl who was talking about family matters immediately stopped: “Huh?”

“Get ready to raise your head ——-
