Chapter 165: Naval Battle (1)
"Don't get excited, sit down, Mr. Lin."
Lin Ci hesitated before sitting back.
"I'm here because I'm going to do something personal. That's why you can get on the boat so that you won't be torn to shreds by An Kexin. ”
Giles raised his glass and gave a slight salute in a direction behind him.
"So, you're neutral?" Lin Ci was stunned for a moment, "This is a little different from my cognition." ”
Giles smiled, "What do you think we are?" We are living beings, only in a different structure than yours. But we also have independent minds, so it's not surprising that there are one or two people like me in the same kind. ”
The night is dark.
Tonight, there is a thin layer of fog floating in the streets and alleys of Dawn City, and the fog is filled, making the street lamps on the streets seem so unreal, and there is a feeling of seeing flowers in the fog.
The city is not quiet at night, with the occasional sound of horse-drawn carriages passing by, or dogs barking in those dark corners.
A car is quietly parked on the corner.
Sitting in his car, Guglio was peering through the window at a building across the street, which was mostly covered with gargoyles, unlike buildings that commonly used angels or other decorative sculptures.
"It's really eerie." Guglio said, biting a cigarette.
"Commander, I don't think it's a good idea." Sitting next to Gurio, a white woman with neat short hair said, "I don't think you need to be reminded that your next move is illegal." ”
"Of course I know, do you think the Night Stalker would authorize me to swagger and search Baron Giles' mansion?" Gurio didn't have a good airway.
The white woman blinked and said, "Since the Inquisitor is trying to hide his identity, I think you'd better not get into trouble." ”
"I don't want to get in trouble, but look what's going on now. What else is the Inquisition trying to hide from Gilles, then it is necessary for me to dig up this secret. ”
Guglio extinguished his cigarette and said, "Wait here for me, as we have said, to give me the necessary informational support." For the rest, you don't interfere. ”
The white woman whispered, "Actually, it's up to me to do this." ”
"That's not going to work, if I give the discovery a lot of room to maneuver. If it were you, I'm afraid it would have been destroyed. ”
Guglio opened the car door, and he gestured to the woman in the car, who nodded. After closing the door, he walked in the opposite direction to the Giles Mansion.
He sneaked in, pressed the headset and said, "How's it going?" ”
"Everything works."
"Good, keep watching."
From time to time, Gurio raised his hand to look at the watch in his hand, which was displaying a topographical map, and Gulio followed the map to the bottom of the Gilles mansion.
"Well, let me see who you really are." Gurio finds an exit and climbs up.
First he came to the kitchen.
Gilles' kitchen was so large that Gurio was about to whistle when he whispered, "Good fellow, a kitchen is bigger than mine." ”
The kitchen was indeed not small, the utensils were neatly stacked, and Gurio reached out to wipe it on a long table, and then put it under the light to look at it, and his fingers were stained with some dust.
It is clear that this kitchen has not been used for a few days.
Of course, after all, Giles is no longer in Dawn City, so naturally he won't need a kitchen.
Guglio noticed that there were quite a few refrigerators in the kitchen, and he opened one of them, only to see some chilled meat stacked in it. Each drawer is labeled with a label indicating what part of the meat these are.
"What a fussy guy." Guglio closed the fridge, came out of the kitchen and walked down the hallway to the garden.
The whole mansion seems to be empty, and the grass and trees in the garden seem to have not been pruned for a few days, after all, even the garden walkway bricks have weeds.
At this moment, Gurio suddenly heard a strange sound, as if someone was whispering.
He circled around and got nothing.
Just when he thought he had misheard, another voice rang out, this time clearly from the soles of his feet, and someone weakly shouted, "Help." ”
Guglio immediately put his ears on the ground, and sure enough, he could hear the intermittent conversation below, but the voice was too soft, and it was difficult to hear what the other party was saying. Gulio immediately contacted his backup and said, "Find out if there's a basement or anything like that." ”
"Definitely, I'll scan it with sound waves. Well, there you go. Turn the ...... at the second fork"
Following the instructions of his companion, Gurio found a door. This door is an underground research institute, and the door is an alloy door, which is very strong, and of course this is not difficult for Gulio.
He pulled out a fountain pen, but a burst of blue fire burst out from the tip of the pen. Gulio broke the lock with blue fire, and when he pushed it open, a strange smell suddenly poured out of the door, and Gulio almost suffocated.
He hurriedly stepped back and let the night breeze in, waiting for the air inside and outside the door to flow before covering his nose and walking into the cellar.
Coming down the stairs, there is a large space below, and the lights are shining, and there is no wine cabinet to be seen, only some wooden tables. When you see large and small knives, boning blades, axes, etc. on the table. Gurio immediately understood what kind of wooden table this was, this was a massacre!
"Help me......" a weak voice came from the depths of the cellar.
Gurio walked forward, and the next moment, an iron cage appeared under the light. In the cage was a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy.
Gurio quickly looked around, and the same iron cages were placed around them.
He crouched down, looked at one of the teenagers, and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”
"Demons!" The young man said weakly: "There is a demon living here, and they have all let the demon eat it, and I am the only one left!" ”
It dawned on Gurio.
Before dawn, there was a knock on the door of the Inquisition, and the guards on duty opened the door with bloodshot eyes, and they were struck against the wall by the collar.
The guard reached for his gun, and a copy of the document almost hit his face. It took some effort for the guards to see that it was the Night Stalker's commander's credentials.
Guglio took a young man in one hand and the collar of the guard in the other and said, "I want to see Mr. Ban!" ”
"Mr. Ben hasn't gotten up yet."
"Then let him get up!" Gulio's roar echoed through the Inquisition.
Banzedas was almost seventy years old, but he was the presiding judge of the Inquisition.
He was still asleep, but he was woken up by his secretary, so he was not in a good mood.
Opening the office, Ben saw a man and a teenager.
The guards of the Inquisition watched from the sidelines.
Ben whispered, "You're going to see me, Gurio." ”
Only then did Gurio raise his head and say, "That's right, it's me." ”
Ban gestured, and the six guards hesitated.
"This is Dawn City, this is the commander of the Night Stalkers, I'll be fine."
The guards quickly walked out.
Ben sat down in his chair, spread his hands and said, "Look for me in the early morning, what are you looking for me?" ”
"Before I answer this question, I would like to ask Mr. Ban, what is Gilles!"
The old man looked puzzled.
Gurio pulled a chair and sat down, "If I'm not mistaken, Gilles was introduced by Mr. Ben back then, right?" ”
"So?"
"You know who he is, don't you?"
"What the hell do you mean?"
Gulio said word by word: "Gilles is a xenomorph, isn't he?" ”
"What made you make such a judgment?"
"Him!" Guglio pointed at the boy.
Ben smiled: "I'm sorry, I really don't see any connection between the two." ”
"Don't pretend to be garlic, Mr. Ban!" Gurio stood up, propped his hands on the long table, and pressed his whole body against the old man to create a pressure: "I found this child in Gilles's cellar tonight, and according to this child, Gilles feeds on them. ”
"You heard it right, it's them, not him!"
"There have been a lot of teenagers his size who have been eaten!"
"Maybe that's his bad taste?" Ben disagreed.
"Mr. Ban!"
Ben suddenly raised his hand and pointed the gun under the table at the boy, a bullet hit the center of the boy's eyebrows, and the boy who had just escaped fell down with a look of shock.
Gurio was stunned, and his eyes suddenly froze.
The guards who heard the movement outside the door came in, and Ban waved them out, and then said to Gurio, "In this case, there should be no one to testify, right?" ”
"It seems that Gilles is really an alien!" Gulio squinted at him.
"Even if Gilles is really a xenomorph, so what?"
"That's a xenomorph, are you crazy?"
"Gilles has provided us with the technology of the Black Falcon, so that our human strength can resist."
"Mr. Ban, now we are not talking about who to work with. The problem is that we, as human beings, have been working with xenos for so long. It's scary, and I don't know, if the Speaker knows that. ”
Ben sat in his chair and said indifferently: "The president of the council does not need to know this, as for these dirty things, it is naturally up to us sinners to do them. ”
"Why do you think this institution was called the Inquisition in the first place? Because in the end, it will be us who will be judged. ”
"You're crazy!"
Gurio slammed open the door and walked away.
A captain of the guard walked in and asked, "Mr. Ban, what to do with him?" ”
"Let him go."
"Yes!"
The sun still rose as usual, a wave exploded in Lin Xi's eyes, and the splashed water droplets reflected the sunlight on the sea, shining like a brilliant jewel.
Lin Xi held on to the fence of the deck, looking at the endless blue sea in front of him, and his mind stretched infinitely.
Far from the route Alice had drawn up, they were now heading to the center of the South Pacific as shown on the charts, and were now on the surface of the sea, with no land in sight left and right, as if the world was left with only one ocean.
Regarding the matter of Lin Ci and others getting on the ship, An Kexin has discussed it with Gilles many times. In this matter, she was naturally opposed, according to her thoughts, she could have killed Lin Ci and a few people, leaving only Xiao Jiu.
But Giles didn't agree with her doing so, and An Kexin knew that he was also acting out of caution. After all, if something goes wrong, they may never find the Mysterious Island.
Coming to the stern, An Kexin leaned on the railing and looked out at the sea, with mixed feelings. But at this moment, something reflected on the surface of the sea.
"Come here!"
She casually pointed to a soldier passing by: "Give me the binoculars." ”
The soldier took off the binoculars and handed them to her, and An Kexin looked at them, and in the binoculars was a blue sea. She searched around, and suddenly something crashed into her sight.
It's a battery!
An Kexin immediately adjusted the visual distance of the telescope, and only then did she see that it was a warship.
"There are enemies." An Kexin whispered.
Betasha lowered her binoculars, she was on the deck of the first warship, and just now she saw the woman on the sailboat in front of her. When he saw the other party holding a telescope and looking at him, he knew that the centaur on the other side had spotted them.
Betasha looked at the captain next to him and said, "Full speed ahead, they've spotted us." After entering the firing range, the whole ship is bombarded, and the ship must be stopped. ”
The captain nodded and walked back to the control room.
A moment later, the three warships were at full power, rowing white waves on the surface of the sea, heading for the Gilles' sailboat in a zigzag pattern.
Soldiers on the deck of the sailboat are constantly running, preparing anti-ship missiles on board.
"It's a fun game, of course." Giles rubbed his beard.
On the warship at the head, where Betasha could see the busy figures on the sailboat without binoculars, she raised her hand.
The captain in the wheelhouse picked up the walkie-talkie, and when he saw Betasha's hand waved down vigorously, the captain yelled into the walkie-talkie: "Fire, all the batteries are saturated and bombed, and the ship will be blown to pieces for me!" ”
A hundred cannons are fired.
The batteries on the three warships were all under fire, and the shells crossed the water and flew down to Gilles's galleon.
If you freeze the time at this time, you will see that the shells are almost all over the bow of the ship, so dense that the ship cannot avoid it.
Giles was smiling, and had no intention of making a move.
Because she'll shoot.
Suddenly the wind began to blow on the sea, howling and setting up huge waves that swept in front of the bow of the sailboat. The shells exploded in the air, sending fireballs and a wall of fire rising above the sea.
Soon the wall of fire was lowered, and Gilles's sailing ship was unharmed, still heading for the warships of the Western Alliance.
The wind ruffled the waves, creating a gray curtain wall that protected the sailboat.
"Shoot! Shoot! "On the warships of the Western Alliance, the captain roared non-stop.
The guns of the three warships continued to fire from across the sea, but all the shells stopped the wind curtain and exploded outside the curtain wall in vain, but it could not hurt the sailing ship in the slightest.
At this time, the warship's missile launchers rose from the deck, adjusted the angle, and after adjusting the angle, "swished" in a series of rapid sounds, one after another missiles dragged the flames into the air, crossed parabolas at high altitude, and then flew away towards the sailboat.
The sailboat expanded rapidly, and then the missile hit the wind screen, and hundreds of fireballs exploded on the sea.
The dense fireball completely submerged the figure of the sailboat, and the waves of fire roared and rolled, and the strong impact of the explosion could be clearly felt even from a section of the sea.
But she didn't feel any easier in her heart.
As the flames had dissipated, Giles's sailboat sailed out of the flames, and turned to the left, rounding to the side, approaching a warship on the left.
Standing on the deck, Gilles looked clearly at the Union warship, and he smiled and ordered: "Shoot back, gentlemen!" ”
