Daughter of the Sea Chapter 176 Stiff Legion
"What about the stars?" Bai Gu turned his head to Mu Yi and asked, "Why didn't you see him?"
"The remnants of the soul are related to the length of time the individual stays," Mu Yi looked down at the ground, and in his dark green eyes, a little spark was extinguishing on a device he had never seen before, "presumably the stars stayed here the longest after the teleportation was completed." β
"This thing should be a teleportation device," Bai Gu curiously leaned over to the machine and kicked it with his foot, "I haven't seen it, it's different from the Science and Technology Research and Development Bureau." β
While the two men became interested in machinery, Ying Lan cast his gaze towards Gu Lichuan.
At this time, Gu Lichuan had already followed the light path illuminated by the open gate of the cave and walked to the observation deck.
"Lethe?" Looking at Gu Lechuan's back, Ying Lan walked to him step by step, "What's wrong with you?"
Gu Lichuan didn't look at her. His expression was not much different from the look on his face when Xingchen first saw the city.
"Lingering," Gu Lichuan pointed forward, "I think...... This could be 'Atlantis'. Of course, it's not Plato's Atlantisβan underwater city, a submerged country, a city in the depths of the sea...... All in all, here ......"
"Lechuan," in the face of Gu Lichuan's feeling that "I can only understand but can't speak", Ying Lan, who was also shocked, expressed her understanding, "I understand what you mean." "The city in front of you may not be the real Atlantis, but it must be the place where it has somehow become a deserted city in the deep sea, which is strikingly consistent with the record of the "Dialogue".
Although he was shocked by the scene in front of him, Gu Lichuan did not forget his business: "It's still important to find the stars." β
"Where do we start to find the stars in a huge city?"
"Hehe," Gu Lichuan smiled smugly, "I have to say that this location with a view of the whole city is really good, I just need to take a rough look at it with my ability......"
Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud explosion in the city, and the flames broke through the height of the complex and climbed upward, followed by a gust of hot wind mixed with burning debris.
"Lethe, it seems that you don't need to look at it," Ying Lan looked at the place where the flames were surging, but there was nervousness in her eyes, "Xingchen has already told us where he is. β
The stars make a move, which is a danger signal.
......
In the smoke, the charred carbonized monster fell to the ground. Although it had lost the ability to move its muscles, the monster's mouth still emitted a roaring sound, and it even had the momentum to get up.
Immortal?
Because the threat of the other party was too small, Xingchen didn't even have any intention of retreating.
No, it's not an immortal like Bai Gu. It's just that it's just irrational, and if it is hit with stronger firepower, it can definitely be wiped out.
With that in mind, the star aimed at the monster's head and gestured with a pistol.
"Bang!"
Just as Xingchen was about to use the flame ray to pierce the monster's skull, an explosion suddenly sounded above his head, and then a headless corpse fell down, not far from Xingchen.
"Huh?" Turning around and glancing, Xingchen's heat sensing detected Gu Lichuan and his party, "It's Mu Yi." β
"How is it?" Hearing the sound of the hit, Gu Lichuan hurriedly asked.
Mu Yi turned his head with a look of surprise on his face: "Do you want to try it?" This modification greatly reduces the recoil, and it feels great!"
"I'm not talking about guns," Gu Lichuan smiled awkwardly, "I'm talking about the stars." β
"Oh," Mu Yi pointed there, "I don't know if it's the heat of the stars that attracts them, more and more monsters like that are approaching him." β
"Shall we help?" asked Brandy, not expecting such an adventure on her first long journey, which was much more interesting than when she had been a hired killer before.
Gu Lichuan nodded: "Even if Xingchen doesn't need us, at least we have to go and join him." β
"This should be the commanding heights of the city, I'll stay here," Mu Yi turned his head to look at Gu Lichuan while pulling the bolt of his gun, "You guys go and help Xingchen." β
"Bai Gu," Gu Lichuan turned his head and shouted at Bai Gu, "The time and space gate just now ......"
With a "poof", a string of dirty blood spurted towards Gu Lichuan's side. Gu Lichuan retreated and flashed, staring at Bai Gu's side.
"Everyone, don't worry about the stars," Bai Gu wiped the blood from his face, "I think it's better for us to pay attention to what is in front of us first." β
At his feet, a pitch-black figure with a lost head fell backwards. At the same time, a myriad of hoarse roars rang from the roof of the gloomy house. The crowd looked up, and at the zenith of the countless beams, countless glowing eyes watched them in the dark.
"Huh," she frowned at the strong fishy smell, "It's disgusting." β
"Alas," Gu Lichuan sighed, "I'm sorry Xingchen." β
At the same time, the stars were already aware of the sound of footsteps growing denser and denser from all directions, from the streets to the rooftops, and the smell of rancid and fishy smells came to their faces.
It's not much different from the scene in the dream.
Xingchen looked at the sirens who were being protected by him. No amount of money is a problem if you go it alone, but protecting the siren from being attacked by monsters and burning from her own flames is a bit of a constraint.
Moreover......
Xingchen looked up at the sky above.
If you choose to suppress it with fierce firepower, the excessively high temperature and extremely high coverage range will not ensure that this barrier will not be destroyed, and then the sea water will flood, and the entire city will be crushed in an instant, and the special operations team with a vacation mood will become the feces of strange fish on the bottom of the sea.
The first monster entered the star's field of vision, followed by more and more monsters pouring out of the street, lunging towards the star and siren in the middle of the street.
The star lifted his feet to the ground, and a swirling barrier of flame rose around him, protecting him and the sirens. The monsters were amazed by the sudden flames and retreated.
Through the flames, the stars watched the creatures. Although they vary in size and shape, the dense scales are basically inseparable from the relationship with "fish". Like the previous monster, the monsters in front of them seem to be on the verge of life and death - although the body is dead, the brain function is still intact, so they will instinctively avoid the flames.
Unfortunately, reason no longer exists, so don't expect linguistic understanding.
"Xingchen ......" At this moment, the girl hiding in Xingchen's arms suddenly tugged at his sleeve.
Xingchen looked down at the siren and noticed a look of embarrassment on her face.
"What's wrong?"
"Let's not fight," the siren looked at the stars pleadingly, "let's go, and let them fend for themselves." β
Although he had planned to retreat directly, the siren's words still aroused some suspicion in Xingchen. If the girl asked to leave only because she was afraid, she should at least be in a state of panic and even crying, but Xingchen did not feel the siren's fear at all, and she was discussing with Xingchen in a very calm manner.
But at least the goal is the same, and then think about it slowly.
"Let's go. Picking up the siren, the star leaped to the top of the temple-like building. When the monsters saw the two leaping in the firelight, they pursued them and clinged to the columns and bumpy reliefs that supported the building, and crawled towards the stars.
Seeing that the monsters were still chasing after him, Xingchen put down his siren: "Wait for me a moment." β
As he spoke, he put his hand on the eaves.
The sirens saw that the stone roof touched by the star's hand began to glow red. Then, a waterfall-like lava-like scorching gelatinous substance descended like a waterfall, drowning all the monsters trying to climb up the house - with a single touch, the stars melted the stone cylinders and erupted them with magma-like lethality. The splatters of hot molten material sent the monsters scattered in all directions, and those who did not survive were swallowed up and burned by the pouring molten lava.
"Let's go. β
After causing a lot of commotion, Xingchen was satisfied enough to pick up the siren again and leap forward, disappearing between the overlapping buildings in two or three steps.
......
"He ran away, but he was safe. Mu Yi was still sitting on the observation deck, and turned back to Gu Lichuan and said.
"That's good," Gu Lichuan stepped on a monster that was still squirming at his feet, stomped hard to completely smash its head, and then looked at the other team members, "Are you all right?"
"It's okay," Bai Gu shook the blood off the knife, "It's just too fishy." β
"The existence of these monsters is out of step with the civilization of this city," Ying Lan looked at the ornate reliefs in the buildings in the distance, "why?"
"Maybe it's collective degradation," Bai Gu said with a smile, "because it sank to the bottom of the sea and was isolated from the world, so even the brain degenerated into a primitive state. β
Brandy kicked the corpse that had fallen to the side: "These monsters remind me of The Haze of Innsmouth, maybe the deep divers in it are disgusting and fishy." β
Bai Gu turned his head to look at the brandy: "You still like that thing?"
"Isn't that okay?" Brandy gave him a blank look, "Is it wrong to like reading novels?"
"No, I mean to say it's good," Bai Gu seemed to have found a topic to discuss with Brandy, "If you're really interested, I can tell you about the clues I've found over the years related to those 'mysteries'." I've seen a lot of deep divers and ancient ones. β
Ying Lan pinched her nose and walked to Gu Lichuan's side: "Do you smell me?"
Gu Lichuan smiled, leaned close to Yinglan's head and sniffed it.
"It's fragrant. β
Mu Yi glanced at Gu Lichuan and Ying Lan's greasy and crooked appearance out of the corner of his eyes, and looked at the monsters on the street with disdain as they slowly became quiet. Having lost their prey, they calmed down completely, and gradually dispersed in all directions with mechanical steps, diving into narrow alleys and uninhabited buildings.
"What the hell is it...... The machines are bulky and lethal, not even as dark as White Crowe," Mu Yi stared thoughtfully at the unknown creatures, "just call them Zombie Legions." β
