Chapter 588: Veteran
At the end of the deep, dimly lit access passage is a sluice gate that looks like a shell, but in front of the gate are two Siren sentinels with weapons in their hands. Hao Ren hid behind a few pipes and looked up at the guards in the distance: "I wonder if they should let us pass...... And it doesn't look like a Siren puppet that has lost the ability to think. β
Hasselblad carefully took out the crossbow: "It looks like I have to fight, I am sure that I will deal with them in an instant, and there will not be much movement." β
Shakira hurriedly stopped the other party: "Wait a minute! β
"We have to do it," Hasselblad seemed to misunderstand what Shakira meant, "these Krakens have been charged, and now they are enemies." β
"I'm not saying this, if you kill them here, they will soon be resurrected elsewhere in the palace area, and it will attract a large group of guards," Shakira waved her hand slightly, "Without full preparation, it is very, very difficult to completely kill a kraken, and it requires a complicated sealing ceremony. β
Lily tugged at her ears: "Wooh...... That's why you're going to evolve so against the sky. β
However, Shakira's word "seal" reminded Hao Ren of the wake-up call, and he quickly observed his surroundings and waved his hand to show that he had a way: "You guys retreat a little." Can you make some noise to draw the two of them in, Shakira? β
Shakira didn't know why, but she nodded, and after the others had retreated some distance, she opened her mouth in the direction of the two sentinels, and no one heard anything, but the two krakens were alert at the same time, and after they looked at each other for a moment, they twisted and swam to the corner where Hao Ren was hiding.
The distance was getting closer and closer, and Hao Ren's body was also tense. And the two Siren sentinels obviously sensed the stranger's breath from the water when they were close enough to be less than five meters away from Hao Ren. Their faces changed slightly at the same time, and then they raised their tridents in the air!
Hao Ren jumped out at this moment. The body was as swift and powerful as a loosened spring, which startled the two Siren sentinels. By the time they reacted, they had already been caught by the tail, and then they heard only a "whoosh" sound, and both krakens were gone.
Hao Ren clapped his hands and opened his mouth to spit out a string of bubbles: "It's done." β
Shakira was stunned: "Where did you throw them?" β
"Carry-on space," Hao Ren shrugged, "and now they're fighting two mechanical tentacles, oh, they've been tied up......"
Shakira: "Huh? β
Nangong May looked at Hao Ren's hand with a strange expression: "Wait a minute, how do I feel that your technique just now is a little familiar?" β
Hao Ren hehe: "Nonsense." That's how I drag you back when you're crawling around the house. β
Everyone: "......"
Vivian patted Hao Ren on the shoulder: "Let's go, that brain monster may soon feel that he is missing two chess pieces, it will send someone to investigate, we had better leave this place immediately." β
The group swam swiftly towards the gate, and this time they were lucky: the gate was unlocked, and after a few strokes of the levers next to the gate, the shell-like gate slid open with a string of bubbles.
Hao Ren swam ahead of the crowd, and after crossing the gate, he was taken aback: "I'll go...... Look! β
Behind the gate was a fan-shaped hall, and in the center of the hall was a spherical luminous body that looked like a giant pearl. And under the illumination of this luminous body, you can see that many rectangular platforms are neatly placed around the hall, and on each platform lies a "person" with gray skin. Dead, dressed in an old, tattered World War II military uniform, with a strange gray-blue crystal studded with his chest......
They are the Allied soldiers of World War II who are called "water wrecks"!
Vivien was the first to follow after hearing Hao Ren's exclamation. Seeing the situation in front of her, she was shocked: "Water wreckage? Could it be that they are recharged here? β
"Looks like this resonance chamber is where their crystals are charged," Hasselblad pointed to the gray-blue crystals on the chests of the dead. The crystals mingled with the glowing orb in the center of the hall, changing light and shade in a distinct pattern. "The corpses seem to be asleep at the moment."
Elizabeth looked curiously at the glowing orb, and there was a mysterious rune platform underneath, and the little girl couldn't walk when she saw it. She swam over with a small change cone, and just as she was about to poke it, she was led and dragged up: "I said that you are not allowed to mess with the things here!" β
Elizabeth was dragged by Hao Ren and danced in the air: "Uncle Ren, there's something embedded here!" There's something embedded in it! β
Only then did everyone see that there was a large piece of crystal embedded in the center of the rune platform under the glowing orb, and the appearance of the crystal was slightly familiar. Bai Huo touched his chin and thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered where he had seen this thing: "It looks like the shape of the crystal that those Kraken Overseers set in their weapons?" β
The other people remembered that when they saw those Siren Overseers outside the city before, they were holding strange weapons in their hands, which were shaped like halberds, and the most striking thing was that there was a large sapphire-like thing installed between the two curved blades at the tip of the city, which made it more like a staff than a fighting weapon. And only the Siren Overseers in charge of directing the "water wrecks" carry this gem, and those who monitor the alien slaves use ordinary halberds.
The crystal in front of me was almost identical to that sapphire in shape and color, and even the lines of the runes on the surface were similar, but the volume was many times larger. Vivien suddenly thought of what this was for: "Could it be that this thing is controlling these undead?" Is this a master controller? β
When Shakira heard this, she immediately reached for the crystal: "Then it must be destroyed!" β
Nangong May stopped: "Don't worry, what if this is not a control device?" What if it's a siren? β
Shaqira hesitated suddenly, and Hao Ren pulled her hand away when she saw this: "Wait a minute, let the number jΓΉ terminal scan what kind of ...... this is"
As a result, before he could finish speaking, his finger accidentally touched the corner of the crystal, and in full view of everyone, the surface of the crystal quickly became full of cracks, and then silently turned into a puddle of debris.
Hao Ren was dumbfounded: "Wait...... I didn't do anything! β
Vivien was also dumbfounded for a moment, and then slapped her on the head: "It's your demon-breaking physique that didn't work at that time!" β
"I'll go," Hao Ren felt that his life had been provoked by fate again, "Who am I doing...... Wait a minute, they're moving! β
After the "master control crystal" shattered, it did not cause any alarm, but it produced an even more unexpected result: with a strange sound like wind chimes, the sleeping water wrecks around the hall actually stood up one by one!
The scene was terrifying, as countless zombie-looking World War II undead people got up one by one, adjusted their balance in a stiff position, checked their status in confusion, and then neatly turned their gaze to Hao Ren's side. A pair of shriveled and deformed eyes stared at him alone, and the white sweat on Hao Ren's head did not stop - he even felt the sweat on his head when he was soaked in the water, what a great innovation you said this must be.
Of course, Hao Ren is not afraid of zombies, he just thinks that the atmosphere is too panicked!
Lily and "Roll" blew up at the same time, one with his tail between his legs and the other hunched back back, and the others were also on guard, only the heartless Doudou happily swam out to greet those zombie uncles, but was dragged back by Nangong May's tail. Hao Ren looked at these World War II heroes who were shaking their bodies with a strange expression on his face, and raised his hand in awkwardness to greet him: "Ahem, what is that, we have no malicious intent...... We want to help you get rid of the control. β
He changed English, French, and Russian to greet people in succession, and Hasselblad was surprised: "I didn't see that you are quite versatile." β
Hao Ren shrugged his shoulders and didn't answer, but looked at the nearest World War II soldier: it was a Soviet submarine commander wearing an officer's uniform: "I'm sorry to disturb you, we passed by here, and we saw that you were troubled by magic and couldn't rest in peace, so I wanted to help, but I didn't expect that there seemed to be something wrong with the operation steps." β
The Allied officer tilted his head slightly, as if to rejuvenate his stiff brain, and then he looked down at the gray-blue gem on his chest, and suddenly raised his arms in the air, as if in silent cheer.
Hao Ren: "? (To be continued......)
