Chapter 589: Dust to Dust, Dust to Dust
The Soviet submarine commander's movements were like a starting signal, and the other Allied soldiers around him also made the same strange behavior after checking their physical condition, waving their twisted and swollen arms and swaying their bodies silently, and Hao Ren was stunned for a moment before he realized what was going on: they were indeed cheering, celebrating that they had finally escaped the control of the nightmare.
But they couldn't speak, because everyone's vocal cords were dead, and they didn't know how to make a sound with other powers.
"Uh...... Looks like you're very happy," Hao Ren smiled stiffly, "Well, you can understand what I'm saying, right?" ”
A submarine sailor gestured awkwardly, and Hao Ren immediately knew that the other man understood what he meant, and that they had fully recovered their senses. Vivien looked at this scene in disbelief, and suddenly realized that this was an unexpected and huge gain: "Wait a minute, so you still remember what you experienced when you were controlled by magic?" ”
The submarine commander nodded, silently gesticulating an angry gesture.
Hao Ren took over: "Then you also saw what we did here just now?" But you couldn't move at the time? ”
The submarine commander nodded again, and if Hao Ren understood correctly, he thanked everyone in a stiff posture.
"It's too much of a struggle to communicate like this," Vivien said, turning her head, "who knows necromancy better?" You can translate what's going on in their heads. ”
At this time, Tutanin suddenly stepped forward: "I am proficient in spiritism and several major human languages, these dead should be similar to ordinary undead, you can try." ”
"Uh. I almost forgot about you when you didn't speak," Hao Ren scratched his hair in embarrassment. "Then you can try, but you'd better hurry. We've made a lot of noise, and the sentinels will come at any time. ”
Tutin nodded, and came to the Allied sailors and whispered an ancient strange incantation, some black patterns gradually appeared around his eyes, this pattern depicted the dark part of the life cycle, and then he raised his head and took a half step back: "It's already possible, I will serve as a bridge between you." Just ask any questions. ”
Vivien immediately threw out the first question: "The situation of the Siren Queen, and the situation in the palace area......"
Hao Ren didn't have much hope for these answers at first, but he soon realized why Vivien thought that the undead held the key to entering the palace district: these Allied sailors knew more about Nasaton than anyone thought. Because they are the "loyal workers" who are least likely to betray in the entire city, and are easier to control than the other Krakens who are constantly struggling to resist, the Brain Monster has these undead involved in a lot of work, including the repair of some facilities in the palace district and the inner city guard duties for a certain period of time. Some of the undead sailors have even gone to the vault beneath the palace district, where the giant brain is "imprisoned", and the latter is obviously a cautious guy, and it does not allow ordinary krakens to get too close to them, so for a long time only these undead sailors can go to the chamber.
This continued until there were enough thoroughly brainwashed Krakens available to take their place.
And in the beginning, the control crystals of these undead sailors were directly controlled by giant brains, and those krakens were still unstable at the stage. The giant brain gives direct orders to these sailors. They were handed over to the Siren Overseers two years ago.
The Soviet submarine commander, Ivan, had entered the palace of the Siren Queen as a worker, and had seen the giant brain entrenched in the vault, and he described in detail what he had witnessed. The detail is incredible.
Vivien learned as much as she could about the palace before Tutamin's spiritism failed, and then she looked to the other end of the hall, "According to Ivan." From here there is a water circulation channel that leads directly to the palace, and through that gate is the entrance. ”
"But what about these sailors?" Hao Ren glanced at the undead sailors who had just escaped control. "Leave them here?"
At this moment, the sailors suddenly made an unexpected move: several commanders took the lead. The undead sailors reached out to their chests one after another, and then pulled out the gray-blue crystals embedded in their hearts!
There was a clatter, and the sailors crushed the crystals that provided them with energy but also controlled their movements, and from the holes in their chests flowed out of the blood-like sand, each soldier quickly became weak, but they shook and did not fall. Ivan came up to Hao Ren, raised his hand to the door on the other side of the hall, opened his mouth and nodded silently.
"They must destroy these crystals to get rest," Tutin activated the spiritism again, "and before that, he wants to lead the way for you." ”
Ivan nodded silently, the skin on his face was rapidly decaying, and fine sand was flowing uncontrollably from the wound, but he opened his mouth and smiled happily - this was the last task they had performed of their own free will.
Hao Ren didn't talk nonsense, turned around and swam to the gate: "Hurry up!" ”
Led by hundreds of undead sailors, the team quickly made their way through gates and tunnels to the Siren Queen's palace. They bypassed all the intersections that could be easily blocked, and made their way through various access roads and water circulation pipes, and their destination was in sight.
A sharp flute sound was faintly heard in the distance, and Soma immediately reminded everyone: "It's an alarm, the sentinel has discovered the situation of the resonance chamber." ”
Shakira once again urged the water to increase everyone's speed: "Hurry up, the palace is right in front of you!" ”
Hao Ren could see from the signs of the surrounding pipelines that he was approaching a place called the "Core Command Module", and he looked around again, and saw groups of ragged World War II soldiers, and the feeling of time confusion and confusion between life and death couldn't help but well-rise in his heart. The bodies of the undead sailors were crumbling rapidly, and fine sand spilled from each soldier's wound, leaving a long trail behind the ranks, and soldiers continued to fall behind, turning into fine sand and falling down, leaving only a rotting old military uniform in its place. Originally, the team was very large, but now there are less than a third of the original number of people left, and hundreds of sailors have completely reduced to fine sand after losing their energy supply.
Shakira approached Ivan and said in a low voice: "I apologize to you for the fault of my compatriots......"
Ivan's body is also crumbling, and he now looks almost a skeleton. Skeleton, but he still struggled to open his mouth to make a smiling expression and shook his head. Tutamin's voice came from behind: "They saw with their own eyes how the Sirens were accused little by little, and despite the loss of physical freedom, they knew in their hearts who the real culprit was. ”
Shakira lowered her head slightly: "Thank you, this makes me feel better." ”
Ivan nodded, and together with another Allied officer beside him, he sped up and led the group to the final gate.
Less than half a meter in front of the gate, Ivan's body split into three cracks and dissipated into sand.
A British officer passing by him glanced down, paused slightly, and then turned to open the floodgates.
Behind the gate was a lounge, and a dozen or so Siren guards in a stunned state were turning their heads.
The Siren guards in front of her reacted quickly, she raised the trident high, and at the same time opened her mouth to let out a piercing scream, and a shockwave visible to the naked eye erupted from the front of the kraken, and several undead sailors immediately rushed forward, their bodies turned into fine sand under the tearing of the shockwave, but their broken heads flew straight out, biting the wrists of those krakens holding the trident with their teeth before they completely collapsed!
The sand dust and the surprise attack slowed down the reaction of the Kraken sentinels a little, and Hao Ren immediately led everyone to rush forward: "Fight quickly!" ”
A chaotic encounter erupted suddenly, with a shrill scream and a constant explosion quickly resounding in the narrow water circulation channel, and everyone knew that the sentinels elsewhere had sounded the alarm, so this time they didn't suppress the movement, but went all out to settle the battle as soon as they came up!
The encounter lasted only a minute, and the last of the Kraken shrieked and froth under the scorching flames of the white fire, and the air around it was filled with scorching water and drifting sand. Only some of the Krakens were captured by Hao Ren and put into his personal space, and the rest of the guards were killed outright - meaning that they would soon be resurrected nearby, and then a large number of guards would be drawn to block the passage.
The undead sailors were almost all killed, and only a few scattered commanders were still following the group, and they no longer had the strength to lead the way in front of them. Their comrades and men had been reduced to the sand in the deep passage, and they themselves had reached the end of the long service, and after swimming a short distance, the team came to a halt in the passage.
The last two Allied fighters leaned against a nearby pipe, their bodies crumbling uncontrollably, and a captain clenched his fists as if to say something, Tutin activated his spiritism again, but this time even he couldn't decipher what the two undead were thinking.
However, Hao Ren quickly understood what the other party meant.
He bent down and took the captain's hand: "You guys won, the Germans are finished." ”
Then he turned his head to look at the last Soviet fighter next to him: "Leningrad is also held." ”
The two warriors nodded contentedly and turned into yellow sand. (To be continued......)
