After actually entering this sea area, Alexei finally figured out the true face of the black fog. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info It's not something that can't be understood and has a mysterious nature, it's just some black spores floating in the air. Because these small propagules are so dense in the air, they look like a black fog on the surface of the sea. Seeing these things, Alexei immediately remembered the fungi that could invade electronic chips on the data, but when he took out a petri dish and a magnifying glass from his backpack and carefully observed and compared, he immediately rejected the idea that the two were the same creature.

But what exactly are these fungal spores used for? Where do they come from?

After gradually going deeper, the second question is well solved. Looking at the behemoth in front of him, which had been covered in a thick layer of unknown plants, he shivered. The huge size and lifeless atmosphere of the other party made him feel very depressed, and even if it weren't for the firm sense of responsibility in his heart and the sight of the already dilapidated but still waving American flag, Alexei would have turned around and swam back immediately, and the farther away from this strange thing was better. Looking around, although the ubiquitous spores blocked his vision, Alexei could imagine how many ships were hiding in such a vast black fog that would end up like this American aircraft carrier.

Ghost Fleet, a veritable ghost fleet.

"It seems that it is better to go up and have a look. Floating in the sea and observing for a while, Alexei muttered to himself. He then pulled out the grappling hook gun from the backpack that had been floating not far away and was attached to himself by a rope. It was supposed to be a tool for him to climb when he swam to the cliffs on the edge of Gensokyo, and given the difference in the hardness of the rocks and the steel used in the carrier, he was a little worried that the hook wouldn't be well attached to the deck of the carrier in this case.

Fortunately, this concern proved unnecessary. A parabola was drawn from the front end of the launch, and Alexei disappeared from sight. Presumably something had been hooked, he tugged at the rope hard. It's very stable, there is no problem, maybe the only problem is that the length of the climbing rope is almost used up, and the height of more than 70 meters is indeed a bit difficult.

With his left hand, he lifted the backpack floating on the water and carried it on his back, and Alexei lifted his whole body out of the water with a straining of his right hand. Putting his feet on the side of the aircraft carrier, he was just about to exert his strength, when he suddenly felt his feet slip, and his right hand, which had been somewhat relaxed by the touch of the soles of his feet, almost let go of the rope that was tightly gripped. Looking at where the foot had just been pedaled, there was a long bright gray trail, which stood out against the surrounding black background.

"Damn, is there even here? I thought black was the Yankee's preference for the color of naval ships. ”

Secretly complaining, Alexei began to continue his climb. The thin layer of moist and frictionless bryophytes caused him a lot of trouble in the process, but with the body he had cultivated over the years of his career, Alexei managed to reach the deck with only his own arms. Retrieving the grappling hook gun into his backpack, he sat down on the deck covered in black lifeforms that already felt a little like skin, gasping for air.

"I'm so tired...... wiping the sweat from his face with his hands, he began to take a closer look at the pride of the former U.S. Navy. The wreckage of the wrecked carrier aircraft formed a strange shape, very similar to a sculpture he had seen in New York that year in the style of so-called postmodernism. Above the flight control room, right next to the huge American flag, a small red light flashed incessantly, proving to the outside world that the aircraft carrier's energy system had not been completely paralyzed. Thinking of the embarrassing situation of the Americans in South America, Alexei suddenly had a feeling of wanting to laugh, even now Russia is in no better situation than theirs.

After resting for a while to replenish his strength, Alexei stood up and put his backpack back on: "It seems that there should not be even a person on this ship...... It's weird. Would you like to take a look at the command room first?"

"It was a pleasure to meet both. Holding her helmet in her left hand, Helena shook hands with the American opposite. Even after an afternoon of familiarization, she still seemed a little unaccustomed to the new "spacesuit" - mainly because the psychological pressure caused by hearing its high cost was too great - so the movements seemed a little stiff and cautious, "I am European...... Ah, one of the Chinese personnel, Helena Wood. What do you call them?"

"Ackerman Adams, it's Sophia Clark over there, she has some speech impairments, so she can't speak, and I hope you two will forgive me. It's a pleasure to see you, we've been waiting here for a long time. ”

"I'm really sorry, but we shouldn't have exceeded the agreed time, right?" Helena couldn't help but be embarrassed when she heard Ackerman's introduction to Sophia, and then couldn't help but glance at the person behind her whose face was covered by a holographic screen, "Does Miss Clark also have a speech dysfunction? ”

“…… It's a coincidence. However, on our side, for some small reasons that are inconvenient to speak, I can communicate with my partner, but how exactly is your partner going to communicate with us?"

"Well, there's no such thing as a small reason between us that we can't talk about. Noticing that the color of the other's pupils seemed to have changed, Helena's eyebrows raised. The current situation is quite unfavorable for the two people on their side, with the previous lesson, the American side should no longer send ordinary agents to Gensokyo, they must have some hole cards, just like the "spacesuit" that is so expensive that it scares people to death on their bodies. However, because the other party's outfit is quite ordinary, she can't make an accurate judgment, but relatively speaking, the clothes of the two people here clearly indicate one thing: we entered Gensokyo with this outfit, "If it's a conversation problem, he will use the holographic screen floating in front of him to convey what he wants to say to the outside world." Oh, by the way, no introduction, his name is Ge Bowen. ”

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Ge. Ackerman politely extended his hand to the other party, "I hope our cooperation can be pleasant." ”

…… First of all, confirm one thing, can you understand Chinese?

"If it's just day-to-day communication, of course you can. Seeing the line of square words floating on the holographic screen, Ackerman smiled, and his words changed from American English to standard Mandarin, "However, doesn't Mr. Ge know English?"

Don't get me wrong, it's just that typing in Chinese is a little faster, after all, it's your native language. So, without further ado, should we act now? I just got the news that the PLA is carrying out the final wave of attacks on Gensokyo, and now is the right time to sneak in with the chaos of the battlefield. What do you two think?

"Oh, I can't imagine that Mr. Ge is still an impatient, but do you really want to act now? In my opinion, the two of them should be very conspicuous in the crowd. As far as I'm concerned, it's better to wait until after nightfall. As he spoke, Ackerman looked at Sophia, who was standing behind him, "That's what my partner thinks the same way. ”

"But I think Ge's proposal should be pertinent. Helena shook her head, "It might be better to be clear about this matter first: I had already entered Gensokyo once not too long ago, so I know what might happen. In Gensokyo, there are actually many unexpected wild beasts, such as the monster with the head of a human wolf, and even attacked by a flock of birds very similar to Archaeopteryx. Therefore, we should cross the plains in the northern part of Gensokyo as soon as possible with a good view during the day, and reach the primeval forest in the middle before sunset. Otherwise, once we are surrounded by the native beast herds there at night, our safety is very debatable. ”

"So, don't you have the confidence that you can get rid of them? As far as I know, the wise natives of Gensokkyo don't have to worry about it. If you can't even defeat these beasts, how can you try to fight against the high-level combat power in Gensokyo?"

It's not a question of faith. Besides, if we had the cover of the current frontal battle, we would not have attracted much attention if we were surrounded by a herd of beasts, but if there was such a big movement in the middle of the night after the big battle, a fool would rush over at the first opportunity, right? Or do you have the confidence that you can break out of the encirclement under the encirclement of those characters? If it is the latter, then I really doubt your human identity.

"Oh, it sounds like Mr. Ge knows quite a bit about Gensokyo's combat power. ”

When I was in Mongolia, I had seen several of them fighting, so I had a certain understanding.

"In that case...... Heh, after all, we haven't been in contact with Gensokyo. Glancing at Sophia again, Ackerman nodded, "Then let's do as you two want." Do you want to do it now?"

Of course, time waits for no one. I really hope that our cooperation will be very pleasant.

"Of course. I'm still curious, though. Ackerman narrowed his eyes slightly, "Miss Wood, it seems that you are not Chinese, and you have entered Gensokyo." If you don't mind, can you tell me about your experience?"

"Hehe, this kind of information should follow the principle of equivalent exchange, isn't it? If you can tell me the mystery of your pupil color change, I can also pay the corresponding information. Let's talk about these things after entering Gensokyo. ”

Adjusting the brightness of the flashlight, Alexei grabbed the seemingly rather decent door that led to the lower deck and opened it with force. Suddenly, a smell of rotting corpses rushed out of it, and he hurriedly took a few steps back, almost falling back into the sea.

"Oh my God...... The smell is really unbearable. Putting on a mask that he had pulled out of his backpack, Alexei complained twice, raised his flashlight, and began to walk towards the destination of the trip.

Even inside the ship, the strange plants still multiply uncontrollably, and even some of their corpses have been assimilated by them. Some holographic screens are still not turned off with the support of the energy system, but they all show the same logo on them. The symbol of the party, which had recently declared war on the whole world, made Alexei feel that the adventure was worth it: at least, he could know who was the murderer who had turned the aircraft carrier into this.

There was silence all around, and the slight sound of footsteps on the thick layer of organic matter could be clearly heard, and the environment was very uncomfortable, and a feeling of oppression rose from the bottom of Alexei's heart, making his every movement cautious, and his throat felt as uncomfortable as choking on something. I don't know if it's his auditory hallucinations, Alexei always feels that there seems to be some large creature moving on this ship, and the sound of "rustling" makes people shudder.

Walking around a corner, he was startled by the sudden burst of cremation and the optical fiber falling from the ceiling, and the flashlight in his hand fell to the ground with the movements of his body. After seeing what had fallen, he took a few deep breaths and picked up the flashlight from the ground, but when he bent down and saw the sarcoma-like thing reflected by the light, he suddenly felt that the blood in his whole body was converging towards his brain, and the oxygen seemed to be a little insufficient, and his eyes were blackened for a while.

Under the flickering light, red and beating blood vessels were clearly visible.

Abnormal. None of this is normal.

Picking up the flashlight, Alexei leaned himself against a wall that was not infested with plants, calming his mind and thinking seriously. Although he can't catch up with Andrei's long-term secret wanted figure in Europe, the United States and China, his experience over the years does not make him afraid of this kind of scene because of this scene. These plants are definitely releasing some neurological chemicals and interfering with their mood. Recalling the wounds of the corpses he saw along the way, Alexei had a bold guess: could it be that it was these plants that drove all the members of the aircraft carrier crazy that it turned into a ghost ship?

In any case, after arriving at the command room, he must leave this dangerous place immediately. It would be too worthless to die here without even setting foot on the land of that unknown island.

Thinking of this, he straightened up and pulled out the pistol that he had been holding at his waist because he had thought it would be useless. His heart trembled slightly when he felt the familiar lines on the handle, and then he began to pray: Father, I hope that the weapon you have designed will allow me to get through this time again, as I have done so many times before.

After what felt like a long journey, Alexei finally arrived at the door of the command room. Looking at the door that had been unrecognizable and hidden, he swallowed, held the pistol in his right hand, and slowly opened the door.

There was no movement.

"Whew...... I'm scared to death......" Immediately let out a sigh of relief, and Alexei suddenly felt that his legs seemed to be a little weak. Tapping his head, he strode into the seemingly largely well-equipped command room, and began to search the table for possible clues—though he seemed to have gained more than he had imagined.

"It's safe here, it's safe, it's safe, it's safe, it's safe, it's safe......"

"You, what are you muttering to a whisper?" To be honest, Alexei never imagined that there would be survivors in such an environment at first. Looking at the man huddled in the corner and talking to himself in a completely unlooked U.S. Navy uniform, he frowned, raised his gun and asked, "What's going on here?"

"You, you...... You're here to save me!You're here to save me, right!Hahahaha, I'm saved, you lost bastards, I'm saved, I'm saved!" The other suddenly jumped up with joy and shouted loudly with his hands raised. By the rank on his shoulders, Alexei estimated that he should be the senior commander of the ship, "You, you all failed! I survived!"

"You calm me down......" In the middle of speaking, Alexei suddenly felt the entire hull shake, and then a sound that seemed to be the howl of a beast rang in his ears, "What's going on?"

On the deck, dozens of small green balls rose into the sky from a large bud-like object at the back of the aircraft carrier, and swooped down towards their destinations, along with ground-penetrating projectiles fired from the electromagnetic guns of other ships.
