20. The Sea of Death
If you think about it, this is still a good opportunity.
Am I going to watch the Duke get his hands on that so-called ultimate weapon? No, no, I'm not sure of her intentions. It is better to fall into my hands than into her hands. In these times of desolation, power is above all else. I firmly believe that I am better suited than the Duke to uncover the secrets of this undersea.
Because I have seen the defeat of Ochide, I will not repeat the mistake of Ochide, I will judge the situation more accurately and quickly, and there will be no hesitation for a moment.
But we were weak, Salvador and Betty were equal burdens, and Lamia would not help me. The Duke's strength is beyond my comprehension, and I can't even defeat Mirse.
To make matters worse, the Duke heard what I said, and she now knows that I have Invisible Water.
As we walked, we seemed to step from a silent movie into a stereo theater (the metaphor was inspired by a magazine from a hundred years ago), and the sound of huge waves was deafening, and the cold sea breeze pushed the black waves to the shore. During my years of scavenging, I have reached the Golden Gate Bridge and seen the ocean, but it is far less powerful than the ocean, and every wave seems to go straight into the sky.
The Duke said, "Synchronized with the wormhole, we are now completely in another world." β
I had no idea what she was talking about, all I could see was red and white demons surrounding us, like we had suddenly broken into their carnival. There are forty, fifty of them, I can't count them, because maybe there's some hidden behind the sea rocks.
Lamia shouted, "Sammy! Betty! Behind me! Shoot with Excalibur Bullets! Don't fall short! β
Count Wolf Armor shouted, "Fight for humanity!" "Draw your sword.
Misser shouted: "Fight for glory!" "He slashed down a white demon with a single sword.
The demons seemed completely stunned by us, and for the first few seconds, they didn't attack, giving us a chance to breathe. I held a gun and shot with a gun, and I felt that my marksmanship was much more accurate, especially when the demons were standing as targets, I didn't miss a shot, and soon I ran out of ammunition.
Then the demons got angry, and several red demons rushed towards us like big rocks that had suddenly come to life, and the beach at my feet trembled. Lamia, Salvador, and Betty ran out of Excalibur bullets, and the three red demons fell. And the vicious demons stepped on the corpses of their own kind.
Lamia threw her spear at a demon, which was as strong as a yak, but she smashed her head. She began to fight with her sword, and frankly, her swordsmanship was not as good as that of me and Milse, and it was evident that she had only the most basic training and no tricks, but she was fast, powerful, clear-headed, and adaptable, and these four points were enough to ensure that she could defeat most enemies.
I couldn't care about her, because a giant red demon was eyeing me and chasing me as if I had killed its family or something. I smeared the dagger with the blood of a viper, and in an instant, its claws enveloped me. Like a swimming fish, I burrowed into the iron wall of the Sword and Shield Society, and the red demon smashed through the wall of shields with a single punch, and the people of the Sword and Shield Society fell backwards. Mirse stepped forward and unleashed "Hudzi", and the telekinetic blade struck the red demon, causing its head to bloom.
The red demon did not die, on the contrary, its anger boiled. It smashed through the ground with a few blows, lifted up an iron stone, and threw it at Milse. Mirse then used the "Iron Lotus" to defend tightly and deflect the big rock like a baseball. The Red Demon did not stop, it found a larger stone and threw it at us with greater force, but Mirse did not give an inch and held his ground. His comrades applauded Milser's swordsmanship and strength.
I'm sure that none of them can match Mirsey in terms of swordsmanship alone, not even the Earl of Wolfarmor.
I don't know if the duke can, because according to legend, the nine hermits are all swordsmen of the ancient school, but she doesn't look like she is good at fighting.
I looked at the furious monster and suddenly felt that maybe it was us who was wrongβit was we who opened the wormhole of the other world, came to its home, and killed its relatives indiscriminately. And a hundred years ago, it may have been us humans who summoned them to the earth as slaves, so they took revenge. They have every reason to be angry, because humans are such inconsistent bastards.
I lamented the injustice of fate, and the dagger pierced through the back of its head, and the toxin immediately damaged its brain, and the raging giant fell.
The demons scattered and fled, and the beach was safe.
Count Wolf Armor said, "Report casualties. β
A tall baroness (a rather atracted title) said: "No one died, Baron Gis, Baron Ramanoff, and Baron Eddy were wounded, but none of them were serious. β
I found Lamia, and Lamia said, "It's all right, what about you?" "I thanked her for her concern and boasted about her achievements.
Lamia replied, "Now that we don't have Excalibur Bullets, we must not be encircled again." She said this to the Duke.
The duke said, "Don't worry, these children can handle it. β
Listening to her pretend to call others children really makes me angry.
The Duke said, "And where we are going, we will not encounter these demons." β
With her left palm up, I saw a palm-sized disc floating, it looked like an ancient Chinese jade plate, but it was flawless. The Duke said, "Open Site 76, password CAIN-123075BC, please convert voiceprints." β
I don't think it's an artifact at all, just a simple laptop computer that can open the legacy of the ancient Sword and Shield Society, and even open the wormholes that were closed in ancient times. Today's sword and shield will mythologize the Nine Hermits. Ochid and Milsey believed it, but I always doubted it.
But why can't technology become a myth? For most of the modern human race, which is closed off from information and struggling to survive, this is an inexplicable miracle. What is the difference between the lack of omniscience and the all-knowing and all-powerful god in legend?
A white cube floated in the water, which remained motionless under the lapping of the angry waves, about six meters long, and when the Duke approached, the cube opened, and we had no way but to enter it. The cube re-dives into the seawater and sinks down the transparent pipe.
The pipes are lit up with fluorescent lights every six meters, faintly illuminating the bottom of the sea, and there is no life on the bottom of the sea, not even a single fish or plant can be seen, and the sea is so deep that you can't see the bottom of it.
The female voice in the cube said, "After review, you are Vasilisa Jenova, a seventh-order official, and you are eligible to check your identity. But also take care to check the regulations. Due to the current unclear status of the mothballing facility, please strictly follow the safety regulations. β
I said, "Why does this cube recognize the duke?" It has been untouched for at least a hundred years. β
"You don't think I'm only fourteen years old," said the Duke. β
Suddenly, I felt a chill and couldn't help but take a step back and lean against the elevator wall. The rest of the warriors of the Sword and Shield Society didn't seem to be surprised as they knew the secret.
I thought about lack.
Lamia said, "You are not human? Are you a cyborg? β
The duke smiled: "Cyborg? Why cyborgs? I've just been asleep for a long time. When I woke up, the world was unrecognizable, so don't ask me how the cataclysm happened, I can't answer. β
I said, "You know what's down here?" β
The Duke said, "I don't know, before I fell asleep, I managed to tamper with the system of the Ancient Sword and Shield Society, allowing me to gain the highest authority, but for me, these are still sealed secrets, and no one can help me solve the mystery, I have to do it myself." β
The elevator stopped suddenly, and the female voice added: "As you can see, the Dead Sea mothballing facility is located three kilometers under the water of the Dead Sea. There are four gates, and now that you have reached the first gate, please check if it is open. β
I saw the heavy steel door blocking the elevator, and the Duke authorized it with Ivan's Mirror, and the first gate opened, and the elevator continued to descend.
What kind of weapons must be mothballed on the seabed for three kilometers? Why are there metal doors that are several meters thick every few hundred meters? It's like a prison for felons, more like a cage for a behemoth.
When descending to the second gate, the female voice added: "The composition of the seawater in the nearby sea is unique, which can quickly lead to hypoxic suffocation, but don't worry, the elevator pipes use a two-meter-thick transparent metal partition that can withstand torpedo bombardment." If the sealer shows signs of escape, the Governor must immediately authorize the injection of seawater into the pipeline, which will cause the sealer to fall into a hypoxic coma, and the Society's personnel in hazmat suits are fine. β
I felt like I was being sent into the belly of a fish, and I was so frightened that I forgot to breathe. I tried my best to catch my breath and try to get close to the duke, but the samurai stopped me. The Duke remained indifferent, she was full of confidence.
I pointed upwards and shouted, "Let us out!" β
The duke said, "Why? β
I said, "Didn't you hear the warning?" What you want to unleash is not a weapon, but a catastrophe that must be prevented. β
The Duke said, "I am a calamity. β
I suspected I had misheard and asked, "What?" β
The Duke said, "I am a calamity, I am a monster, I am a demon, I am a divine punishment." No matter how powerful the Sealee below is, he will be of my use, and he must submit to me. β
In front of the third gate, a female voice said, "Remember, we don't know for sure what the status of the Sealer is, he has escaped several times and been captured, but he is still alive, and even suffocation and brain damage have not prevented him from being reborn." The visiting commander will be given a mandate to activate the nuclear warheads buried under the seabed with his voice when the escape of the mothballer is a foregone conclusion, and within ten seconds, a radius of 100 kilometers will be destroyed. β
I shouted, "That's ridiculous! Put an end to this! It's still too late! β
"Fishbones are right," Lamia said. β
We are opening Pandora's box and unleashing the unknown sinister.
I couldn't make out the expressions of the Sword and Shield Society warriors, but I could tell from their nervous stance that they couldn't judge the situation.
The Duke opened the third gate, and I watched as the fourth got closer and closer.
The female voice said, "Welcome to Vault 76. You can see what's going on inside the facility through the camera at Gate 4. Threat Level: Highest. Target Code: Cain. β
