Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 867
[Chapter 848 Depth 3, Night]
Every day that followed, everyone on the boundless sea saw the shining of the black sun—the false sunshine that filled and covered the entire world. Behind the creation of the world, the last lighthouse on this sea separated it. The radiance spread to all corners of the sanctuary and lasted for many days and nights. °°°·.°·..·°ˉ°·._.· ???????.c?? ·._.·°ˉ°·.·° .·°°°
People are speculating. As for the origin of that “glow”, some people speculate that it is a sign of further collapse of the world. Some people speculate that it is the creation of the world that is undergoing some kind of change. The last optimist believes that it is the sunshine that is about to return to the world, and the last pessimist Thinking that all things have reached the time of death – but for more “people”, they don’t care that the sunshine has lost its self-recognition, and the blind and foolish entities in the mist and night are shaking through the city, gnawing away , tearing at the food in their “cognition”, low roars seemed to fill the whole world, and layers of murmurs came from the depths of the city-state;
huge shadows that swelled and shrank appeared on the sea. , the shadows gathered towards the coastline of the city-state. They were the unidentified fleets returning from all corners of history. The forgotten and 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 knows where they went, but low and vague boat songs and trumpets seem to be heard from every intersection of every pier;
the buildings in the city are waking up in the night, after the last awake person leaves them , they forgot their original appearance in the fog, the roof opened with layers of eyes, the chimneys curled and grew in the night, the windows grew sharp teeth, and every door sang loudly in the night, It made the loudest noise in the memory of the city-state;
and those real madmen who woke up built high walls deep in the city.
They maintain communication with each other with the help of sewers and the few urban rail transit systems that are still in operation. The survivors of the city hall and church are ensuring 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—the order originally originated from the distant northern city-states, and was later transmitted 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. Do everything possible 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 message 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 strengthened, and now it is part of the shelter in this border city. The high shelter wall extends from the port area and closes near the steam hub factory. The high wall is the center of the city. Almost 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, mixed 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 weak “sunlight” escaping from behind the creation of the world interspersed with the light of the flare. “It seems that there are no survivors in that direction, only monsters spawned by the city itself,” Martha’s voice came from the small mirror on Lawrence’s chest. According to the news, “Now that we have reached this point, there should be no more “awakened ones” appearing in the depths of those long-fallen neighborhoods. “
Phaelon is a small city, and the search operation will end soon. In the days to come, the main task of the Night Watch troops is to ensure the safety within the high walls.” Lawrence nodded lightly, “But in other city-states, the search operation will be over soon.” The survivors’ actions should continue until the end. In those huge, maze-like old neighborhoods, there will always be people who are still waiting for rescue.
Martha hummed softly and did not speak again.
“Sunshine” behind the creation of the world .
” Slowly dimmed, then reappeared a moment later, lighting up the entire sky.
????????????.??????
“Who would have thought that the one who would finally light up this sky would be the ‘Black Sun’,” Martha broke the silence softly, “Even if you let go A year ago, even Sun believers would not dare to say such crazy things. “
But now, except for us, no one in the world remembers what the ‘Black Sun’ is,” Lawrence sighed and shook his head. All the fear and worship have been folded into the abandoned history. “
He raised his head and looked at the dim sunlight filling the sky.
The “Black Sun” that had been forgotten by the entire world was still behind the creation of the world. The face slowly flickered on and off, and there was no living creature in this world that still needed his sunshine.
Just lighting the pilot light for the last ship in the world that is still sailing.
The sound of footsteps came from behind. Lawrence looked back at the sky. He turned around and saw an ugly figure wearing an ill-fitting crew uniform walking through the mist, stepping onto the city wall and coming to face him. forward.
“Captain, I’m back to report.” The sailor tugged at the hem of the crew uniform and revealed an ugly, childlike 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 looked outside the high wall on the way here. “Look, my appearance is already above average in today’s city.”
Lawrence spat to the side, but did not continue to tease this man. Instead, he took two steps forward and patted the sailor on the shoulder. “How is it on the Lost Home?”
The sailor thought for a while, and the deep groove on his face slowly relaxed: “It’s a nice place.” “
That’s good,” Lawrence laughed, and shook his head with a smile, ” Now that the wonderful assignment was over –
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 an honor.”
Lawrence hid aside: “I’m just going to say, if you really hug me, go back and wash yourself one by one. Your whole body will be rotten.”
Teacher Moss has taken his family to the shelter, and now He signed up to join the city wall guard team. It is said that the person in charge of the city wall guard rejected him when he saw an old man coming to sign up. Then the teacher beat everyone on the scene.
“Miss Vanna is now staying at the cathedral. There she was, commanding the Night’s Watch. It is said that there are many out-of-control priests under house arrest in the cathedral. She is very busy every day, but she seemed quite happy when I saw her last time. Did she tell you that? Yes, she was very happy that she could help when she returned to the city-state.
“Have the sailor and Miss Agatha arrived at their destinations safely?” That’s good. I heard that there are fewer and fewer fleets going to the north. It is said that the situation on the Lenglie Sea is not good. I was a little worried about arriving safely before. That is probably the last fleet.
“How is the situation over there, Miss Lucretia? Are you trying the delicacies of Breezeport? Really or fake, Miss Witch
Nina’s voice echoing in her heart, Duncan sat on the big wooden barrel on the edge of the deck of the Lost Home. Go up, listening to the voice from far away, with a faint smile on his face,
“Do you and Shirley have any plans?” He suddenly asked Nina, who was quiet for a few seconds: “
Shirley and I decided to stay. “We
‘re at the antique store.”
“Aren’t you going to the asylum or the cathedral? The situation is somewhat better there.”
“If you don’t go, we don’t have any other relatives, and we don’t have to worry about safety, so there’s no point in going to the asylum. In the first year of freshman year, 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 can also be regarded as a small shelter in this neighborhood. Occasionally, the night watch troops pass by, which is okay. Come in and have a rest. They are all Miss Vanna’s subordinates.
They also said that this antique shop is “the most reliable night safe house in the city-state.”
Nina’s voice sounded happy with a hint of pride. She seemed to be proud of the current situation. The situation was very satisfactory. Duncan listened and let go of his little worry.
It seems that the two girls used another method to “run” the small antique shop, and they managed it very well.
While Nina was chatting away, Duncan saw layers of light and shadow emerging from the corner of his eye at the end of the jump tunnel.
The outline of clouds and mist appears deep in the gray-white background, and the “sunlight” that permeates the entire jump channel covers the distant clouds and mist, outlining the silhouette of the eternal curtain.
Duncan slowly stood up.
“Nina.”
The girl who was talking about homely things stopped immediately: “Huh?”
“Get ready to raise your head -“
