Chapter 6: Successful Escape
Alice stood in front of me, her sword in her hand. For about half a second, my only reaction was shock, and the only sound in the sewer was the gurgling of blood out of my body.
Then the soldier covering my mouth roared to his feet, his knees off my neck, and lunged at Alice.
Alice's series of movements made me think that she was a seasoned swordsman. Alice stood still, her sword holding in one hand to holding it in both hands, her legs spread apart, her blades facing the other, keeping an eye out for the enemies that were coming at her. I somewhat understood that she was not only a skilled swordsman, but also a skilled samurai.
The soldier ran towards her with his sword raised, Alice didn't panic, she kept her original movements, and when the soldier came up to her and raised her sword to slash, she avoided the attack, not beautiful, but very relaxed. Then she stabbed me with my sword in the arm, causing him to let out a cry of pain.
Then I heard the sound of a rapid splash, and then I looked up and saw the captain running away. For him, there was no point in the fight, and he had to run as fast as he could to save his life, but she didn't want to go home empty-handed, he was ready to grab the boy in the corner, and I jumped up and chased after him. I had to catch the boy before he did.
I only have one chance. Only for a moment. "Hold my hand!" I screamed. Thank God he was a little more decisive than before. He let out a vague cry with a look of fear and desperation, then hurried a little towards me and took my hand. I stepped back and pulled him over: at the same time, the soldier chief ran quickly to the mouth of the sewer and disappeared.
There was a shout from my left. It was the cry of the wounded soldier. I saw him open his mouth, surprised at the abandonment.
Because of this momentary distraction, Alice made him pay, and she turned around and rushed over, a sword piercing the other man's chest, and my sword tasted blood for the second time.
My mother once asked me to promise never to name my sword. Now, as I look at the fallen corpse that slid from the bloodied blade of the sword, I understand why.
"Thank you, Alice." I shouted in the sewers where silence had returned.
Alice turned to me, her silver hair falling to her waist, her delicate face stained with a few drops of blood, and her jasper-like eyes embedded in her fair face, looking from a distance, like a beautiful girl running out of a foreign fairy tale book.
We were in a corner of the sewer with two bodies lying on the ground, and in addition to Alice's hand, there was a blood-stained sword in her hand. She walked over and seemed to want to give me back the sword, but just as she was about to return it to mine, she realized that it was stained with blood.
Alice looked around, looking for something to wipe away the blood, and finally decided to use the clothes of the soldier closest to her. When she had done this, she walked over to me and returned the sword to me.
The blonde boy and I looked at each other, and Alice walked over to the two bodies and began to search for them.
"Alice." I shouted, she ignored me, and I screamed a few more times, but she still ignored me.
Her attitude towards me made me feel like she was angry; I started a fire, "You answered me!" Don't ignore me all the time! ”
Alice stopped, she turned around, "button up your clothes......" After listening to her words, I realized that my clothes had been opened during the dragging process just now, and I hurriedly took care of them, "We should go, your father is waiting for us at the mouth of the sewer." ”
"What about this kid?" I asked.
Alice listened to me, she pulled out the * on her waist and a few throwing knives, the child was terrified, he closed his eyes, he thought Alice was going to kill him, he hugged his head, apparently he had not woken up from the attack just now.
"Then ......" Alice threw the gun to the boy, and Alice felt in her pocket again, took out a stack of money, and put it in the boy's hand.
"Where did you get all this money?" I was a little surprised.
"You don't have to ask," she said, pulling the headscarf around her neck, "Hey, go on." "She threw my mask at me.
It was the mask that had been taken off by those villains, and I put it back on my face, and the data showed it back in front of me.
"Luna, tap on the message in the top right corner of the screen under your hand." She said.
I looked down and saw a screen in front of my arm, a holographic screen, and I clicked on the info button in the upper right corner as usual, and a transparent map appeared in front of my eyes.
"What is this?"
"It's just a holographic projection map, which is invisible to outsiders, and besides," Alice explains, "it's a map that relies on infrasound waves. ”
"Infrasound?"
"That's called a sonar sensor." Alice added, and she began to slowly assemble her weapons.
"What's wrong?" I asked slowly.
"See the red dot in the top right corner?"
"See."
"That's the sign of the intruder, you're the blue arrow, I'm the green." After Alice finished speaking, I looked at the map and hurriedly took care of my weapons: dozens of red dots on the map moved quickly towards the blue-green arrows......
Alice and I both pulled out our guns, pointed forward, and waited.
We raised our guns and stared at the movement in front of us, and on the holographic map, the red arrows were getting closer and closer, and I was a little scared, but I kept my composure.
Alice beckoned to the boy on her right and motioned for him to hide, and the boy was instructed to hide in a dark corner without saying a word.
Looking at the number of red arrows alone, the number should be in 10 people. Extrapolating from the proportional distance of the map, the opponent was only 100 meters away from us, and the opponent was moving very fast, and while I was thinking, they hurried a lot.
I swallowed deeply, and at this moment, I prayed that it wasn't the one the captain had brought; Even if they were, they wished they could turn around some corner in front of them.
Suddenly, the red arrows stopped about 50 meters in front of us, and suddenly there were two fewer arrows, then a third, a fourth......
Did my prayer succeed?
I touched Alice lightly with my elbow, she didn't speak, she answered me with her elbow, I understood what she meant, and we ran forward.
The sound of us running echoed around the aisles, and from time to time there was the sound of metal clashes and screams of people in front of us.
What's going on?
We were 20 meters away from our destination when we stopped running, there was a corner, and at the same time, the arrows on the hologram had all disappeared.
Alice blocked me with her hand, and she pointed her finger downwards to signal me to stay where I was, which I did.
Step by step, she slowly moved around the corner, then leaned her back against the wall, cautiously poking her head out and looking around the corner.
"Alice, Luna, is that you?" A familiar voice came from around the corner, and I hurried towards it.
Outside the Corner: Two* are there, with swords in their hands, and the ground around them is full of corpses, which presumably are the signs of those vanishing.
I took a closer look at the sign on the shoulder of the corpse's right arm, and sure enough, I guessed correctly, it was indeed the man brought by the captain soldier. However, this time they were not very lucky, judging by the wounds on their necks, almost all of them cut their throats with a knife.
"Yo, you're here." The man on the left side of the aisle turned to us and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, and you're here, so let's get on the boat." ”
As he spoke, he walked over to me, and I slowly backed away, "Why......" Before he could say the next word, I raised my sword, the tip of which was close to his neck.
The sharp black eyes under the hood were familiar, but I was still a little scared, because I couldn't really be sure if he was a friend or foe.
"Who are you!" I snapped.
At this moment, the man in front of me tensed his body, stretched out his arms, and looked at me along the blade of the sword, and I was surprised by the smile in his eyes. "Don't you remember me if you haven't seen me for a few days?" I ignored him, and continued to press the tip of my sword closer to his neck.
"Well, I really can't help you." With that, he took off his hood and mask, and a familiar face appeared in front of me.
"Father!" I exclaimed, and slowly lowered my sword.
"How?" My father smiled and said, "After a few days of not seeing each other, did you forget me?" ”
I was astonished, but when I thought back I thought I had been so stupid, and I should have expected it earlier through the letters and the call to me from the corner, that it was my father.
My father patted me on the shoulder and cleared me up from my surprise and self-blame, "You can't be blamed entirely for this, after all, the experience of a few days may be right for you to be wary." ”
The father looked to the side and said, "Alice, it's great to see you. ”
Alice was silent, and through the light outside the sewers, I saw that her white ankles were shackled fiercely.
"Our pact is made," said the father, drawing the sword from his waist and striking it at the shackles, "you are free, Silver Fox." ”
Alice was stunned, then she moved her foot and looked at the broken shackles, and for the first time, for the first time I saw his smile.
"Silver fox, then again," he said, his gaze over my shoulder, "what are you going to do next?" ”
Alice shook her head.
"Do you want to come with us?" I said, holding out my hand to Alice, who was dazed.
Alice was stunned for a moment, but finally she put her hand on mine.
"It seems that no one has an opinion." My father said as he stood behind me.
I looked at my father, then at Alice, and nodded.
"Captain Frese, it's time for us to go." The guard behind my father said.
"Alright, let's go," said my father, who beckoned to me and motioned for us to follow.
"Wait father, there's a child," I said, quickly turning and running down the aisle.
"What? Isn't one guard enough? Father followed. I ignored my father and kept running there.
Back at that place, I found that the child was gone, and I gasped.
"Looks like he's gone," Alice said.
I glanced around, and indeed he was gone.
My father tapped me on the shoulder and said, "There's no one left, so let's go." With that, he turned around.
At this time, I suddenly thought of something, and I quickly asked, "Father, you and Alice and I are wanted criminals......
"What are you trying to say? Child. ”
"We can't just show up in the open space!"
My father stopped, took advantage of the height difference, patted me on the head, and then said in a soothing tone, "Of course I won't let you walk so openly, standing on the street is full of wanted notes, I don't want to cause trouble again." With that, he pointed to the corpses behind him.
"So what are we going to do?" I asked urgently.
"By boat?"
"What ship?"
"Cruises?"
"Cruises?" I repeated, "What is a cruise ship?" ”
"Cruise ships are ships that carry mail and cargo," my father explained, and then put on the tricorne hat of the Navy head.
"What about our cruise ships?"
"Look, it's coming," Father said, turning to face the hard wall in front of him, "take two steps back," he said, stretching out his arms and pushing us back.
Suddenly, the wall in front of us was blown open by an inexplicable force, and when the dust cleared from the surrounding area, I was shocked by the sight in front of me: a huge tube smashed through the wall in front of us, and I looked out along the inexplicable tube.
Another spectacular object caught my eye: a huge pale blue battleship with its brushed barrels pointing at the blue sky, a wide flight deck piled high with cargo, and at the back of the deck, at the tail of the battleship was a ship's cabin.
I was stunned when I saw this, but at the same time realized that the tube in front of me was the only huge gun barrel on the battleship, and it seemed that we were going to go up from here.
Father turned around, then very politely held out his hand, "Welcome to the Lexing Pier!" ”
