Chapter 29: The Crisis Lurking in the Shadows
Pity......
Now Dingyuan and Weiyuan are already more than ten nautical miles away!
Therefore, it was naturally impossible for Xia Jian to know what happened to the sea area that was red with blood after he left......
……
Dingyuan......
"Boom ......"
It's a dim, stuffy, humid space!
There was an irritating roar of machinery all around......
Yellowed lights, green or red indicators, and complex, greasy gauges and instruments......
Everything......
All of them highlight this place, which is incompatible with the comfortable and luxurious layout of the entire luxury cruise ship!
This is the lowest cabin of the entire ship......
A place that is on the verge of being forgotten......
"Pop ......"
In the dark space, where there was no sound except for the roar of machinery, there was a sudden crisp sound.
It seems that something heavy has fallen on the ground......
"Step on ...... Trample...... Trample...... Step ......"
Immediately, a series of hurried footsteps sounded.
Footsteps from far and near......
From the faint beginning, it became clearer and clearer, as if something was rushing in this direction.
But could it be humans running around here?
This is the lowest level of the ship's cabin, a place of complete seclusion, and full of dangers and dark seekers.
But if it's not human? And what will it be?
The footsteps are getting closer......
"Whew...... Whew......"
Gradually, some rapid gasps can be heard.
Soon......
A slender vague figure rushed out of the darkness of the corridor in a panic.
Really human!
To be more precise. She was a beautiful woman in a black evening dress.
It's just that the evening dress is now in tatters.
As she runs, fair skin. Plump white rabbit, looming.
And the originally beautiful face is now full of dirt, as if it has just come out of the garbage heap, and the originally bright eyes are filled with fear......
In the process of running wildly, the woman looked back behind her from time to time.
It was as if something terrible was chasing her behind her.
……
After rounding a hallway......
The computer room is already in sight.
At the end of the dark passage. A figure in a suit, facing some dashboards, stood quietly.
At first glance. It's like I'm checking something.
Seeing this scene, the beautiful woman who was originally full of fear finally had a hint of joy on her face.
After running for so long, she was a little out of strength. I don't know where the strength of the road comes from. The speed increased a few more points, and at the same time he shouted: "Help me!" Please save me......"
Pity......
In the face of her cry for help, the figure in the black suit didn't seem to hear it at all.
He didn't even turn his head.
The beautiful woman suddenly had a very bad premonition, and a trace of despair suddenly flashed in her eyes that were originally just fear.
"Please......"
But her desire for life made her refuse to give up and struggled at the last end......
Insist on running towards the dark shadow......
The distance between the two sides quickly closed as she ran.
Her outstretched hand had already grabbed the suit on the black figure standing in front of the meter.
And yet at this moment......
Her body shuddered. Frightened eyes, rapidly losing color.
"Save Me ......"
When she was weak again from the throat. When these two words were shouted, the whole person seemed to be out of gravity, and slammed into the deck above his head.
Immediately, under the control of some inexplicable force, it slammed into the ground.
Meanwhile......
The suit that had been tightly held in her hand was also ripped off by her from the black figure with the movements of these series of distances.
A white figure was revealed.
When she saw this white figure, the woman's eyes, which were still a little angry, suddenly turned into dead ashes.
At this moment, her body floated uncontrollably again, slamming into the dashboard next to her.
"Bang ......"
The huge impact sound made the entire corridor resound with a huge echo.
"Zizi ......"
At the same time, under the impact of her body, some meters were damaged, and a large number of sparks came out.
A large amount of blood poured out of the woman's mouth, eyes, ears, and nose, and her body was rapidly deformed at a visible rate.
But she didn't die completely.
Gulping out of the blood, he stretched out his hand unwillingly, as if he wanted to grab something.
Next Second......
Under the control of that mysterious force, her severely twisted and deformed body, which had been embedded in the wall, flew into the air again, and quickly disappeared into the shadows of the corridor.
It didn't take long......
"Ah......h
An incomparably terrible and piercing scream suddenly resounded throughout the cabin......
Long......
The terrible screams, in the continuous echo, gradually dissipated, until they disappeared after the most and could no longer be heard.
The dark cabin was once again the way it was.
It's just that the suit on the black figure has now fallen to the ground.
And standing in front of the meter, what kind of human being, is simply a bare and miserable white skeleton.
No wonder the woman was so desperate at the end......
She was crying out for help like a skeleton!!
This skeleton was actually the skeleton summoned by Xia Jian......
It's just that in order to save trouble, after the engine unit was successfully started, Xia Jian did not let the skeleton go out, but directly parked it here.
In the absence of Xia Jian's order, this skeleton naturally would not be interested in the things around him. React to anything.
"Step on ...... Step ......"
A dozen more seconds passed, and it was dim, empty in the hallway. Suddenly, there was a series of footsteps again.
But this time, the crisp footsteps, extremely rhythmic, kept echoing in the empty corridor, without the messiness and urgency of the woman running wildly before!
Soon, a pair of slender legs came out of the darkness.
It's the same woman......
Also wearing a black evening dress......
And the woman was also wearing a pair of heels with a heel of almost ten centimeters.
It's just that I don't know why. There seemed to be an inexplicable mysterious power on her face, making it impossible to see her face clearly.
Walk through the corridor......
The woman walked straight to the white skeleton that stood there.
Seems curious about the skeleton......
She looked the skeleton up and down in reality, carefully looking at it carefully.
Then he stretched out his hand. Groped around with the skeleton.
But soon, the woman seemed to lose interest in the skeleton and fanned it with a wave of her hand......
"Whoa......
In the next second, a skeleton with eighty percent of the strength of an ordinary dark chaser. It turned out to be like a pile of real skeletons. Scattered all over the ground in an instant.
The white soul fire that burned deep in the eye sockets of the skull was also extinguished in an instant......
After doing all this, the crisp sound of high heels sounded again. The mysterious woman disappeared into the darkness again......
………………
Meanwhile......
Dingyuan, located at the top of the uppermost deck.
In and around the pool, a large group of people is gathering at this time......
Xia Jian is no exception!
At this time, he was squinting, comfortably hiding his body in a man-made hot spring, enjoying a massage of boiling hot water
Opposite him......
It was Xie Cong who was wearing only a pair of pants.
Xie Cong has one hand. Perched on the platform of the hot spring, in the other hand is a goblet filled with red liquid. Shake it from time to time, so it's not pleasant.
A little on the side......
It is also a hot spring.
But in it were some women such as Yasha and Black Widow.
I don't know where they got the bikini.
The swimming pool not far away is even more lively......
Dozens of old men, one by one, stripped naked and frolicking in the water.
The water in the pond, which used to be crystal clear, has long since become muddy, and has been stained red by the thick dirt on everyone's body.
"Ah......h
Xie Cong took a sip of the red wine in the goblet.
Squinted his eyes and savored it.
After finishing and glancing at Xia Jian, he said meaningfully; "Are you really sure you don't want a drink?"
"Not really?"
Xia Jian refused extremely simply.
I don't know where Xie Cong got a bottle of red wine from this guy, and after learning from Cui Kai that Xia Jian was pouring a glass of wine, he has been tempting Xia Jian.
It seems that I really want to see Xia Jian's drunken appearance.
In fact, he didn't know what to do......
With Xia Jian's current physique, how could he get drunk with just a glass of red wine!
The reason why he didn't drink alcohol was just that Xia Jian wanted to keep himself in the most sober state at all times.
I don't know what the road is......
When I got on the Dingyuan, the sense of crisis that I was being watched by people was like a ghost, and it always lingered in my heart.
……
But since there is a sense of crisis, what is Xia Jianwei doing, so that everyone will come here to enjoy it?
Shouldn't we be on the alert at all times?
As a matter of fact......
Since starting to set sail for the return trip, Xia Jian has led everyone to clear out the dark chasers on the Dingyuan for a whole day.
With the dispatch of all staff, today's clean-up work went very smoothly.
It only took one day to clear two-thirds of the last part of the cabin.
If it weren't for the late weather today, Xia Jian would have the urge to clean up the entire cabin today.
It was also because the cleanup went smoothly......
Killed a large number of dark chasers, and everyone felt as if they had just been fished out of the pool of blood.
Sticky, greasy, and exuding a rich, disgusting smell of blood.
Since there is a swimming pool on top of the cabin......
Naturally, everyone will not let it go!
With everyone's incessant encouragement, this is what we have now.
……
Seeing that Xia Jian rejected himself. Xie Cong did not continue to entangle.
Unconsciously glanced at the hot spring where the women were......
Unscrupulously looked at the plump, seductive body, "Tsk." Where did you get these twins? I didn't expect that I was not very old, but my figure was quite predictable......"
The twins in Xie Cong's mouth naturally refer to the two sisters, Chen Yan and Chen Xi.
The reason why today's clean-up work is so smooth is also due to Chen Xi's contribution.
Because as her mental power grew, in addition to the two abilities of mental shock and hypnosis, she was in the middle of nowhere. Finally, he figured out a new ability similar to Xia Jian's spiritual perception.
It's just that her new ability is not as perfect as Xia Jian's spiritual perception.
At this stage, for the time being, only objects with life fluctuations can be detected. Dead objects, such as walls, cannot be found.
However, although it is a small ability, it has a great effect on today's clean-up work.
After all, the main purpose of Xia Jian's group is to eliminate the dark chasers hiding in our cabin.
Let Chen Yan help Chen Xi and walk on the aisle of the cabin. It's like a bioradar. The dark chasers hidden in the rooms on both sides of the corridor immediately revealed in her mind.
and then convey the goal to everyone through Chen Yan......
And then everyone was rushing up......
It's hassle-free, safe, and efficient.
Listening to this Xie Cong's ridicule, Xia Jian's brain was full of black lines!
His eyes subconsciously looked over to Chen Yan and Chen Xi......
Xie Cong really didn't say it......
To be honest, the two sisters don't know what Lu Dao ate, and their bodies are indeed well developed, with convex and backward curls. Plump and fair-skinned, matching their slightly youthful appearance. It's a kind of temptation of childlike big breasts!
Especially since they're twins!
All right!!
Xia Jian admitted that he was evil again!
……
But just when Xia Jian was admiring the beauty of the girl's figure......
A circle of extremely violent mental fluctuations suddenly spread from the cabin below sea level, like ripples, and soon spread to the vicinity of the pool.
Xia Jian, who was smiling just now, suddenly sharpened his gaze......
It was at this time that ......
Xie Cong, who was still hanging on his son just now, couldn't help but have a trace of doubt on his face.
It's just that obviously his spiritual power is not as high as Xia Jian's, and he doesn't feel it so clearly.
He subconsciously looked at Xia Jian......
Xia Jian nodded and affirmed: "It's the spiritual blood clan, it should still be hidden somewhere on the ship......
"I didn't expect it to be dead!"
Xie Cong was a little surprised......
However, Xia Jian felt that this spiritual blood clan had not died, and he felt that it was a little natural.
If only it were so easy to die!
Then it's not a spiritual bloodline!
Thinking that at the beginning, when Chen Li was just an ordinary soldier-level spiritual blood clan, Lao Wang and his entourage chased and killed them for several weeks in a row, but they were unsuccessful, and in the end, they were wiped out.
That's when ......
Underneath the cabin, another spiritual fluctuation emanated.
Because Xia Jian paid attention this time, the strong mental fluctuations seemed even stronger......
Meanwhile......
In another hot spring not far away!
Chen Xi, who was originally sitting quietly in the hot water, suddenly flashed a trace of fear on his face that was burned and reddened.
Because of blindness......
In normal times, Chen Xi relies more on his hearing and mental power to perceive his surroundings.
In terms of sensitivity to spiritual power, it is obviously much better than Xia Jian!
In many cases, she could even judge the strength of a creature based on its mental fluctuations, as well as some other information.
And just now......
That mental fluctuation actually gave her a gloomy, evil, and extremely terrifying feeling.
As for the strength, it is not even much better than the feeling that the leader of the Tibetan Mastiff gave her......
"Xiaoxi, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Yan discovered her sister's abnormality.
Chen Xi immediately told Chen Yan what he had discovered.
"What? As powerful as the leader of the Tibetan mastiff? ”
Chen Yan was taken aback by the information Chen Xi told her......
As powerful as the leader of the Tibetan mastiff, what kind of idea is that?
You must know that the leader of the Tibetan Mastiff of the Dao Dao, but at any time, it may break through to a powerful mutated creature at the king level, so doesn't that mean that this creature that exuded spiritual fluctuations just now is also very likely to be a terrifying existence at the peak of the general level!
"Do you want me to tell that badass this message?"
Chen Yan almost subconsciously thought of Xia Jian.
Facing his sister's inquiry, Chen Xi must have nodded hurriedly......
…………
"What? The pinnacle of the general's rank? ”
Sure enough, after hearing the information conveyed by Chen Yan, Xia Jian's face became more solemn.
It's not just him......
Everyone who heard this news subconsciously became a little nervous.
"Are you sure?"
"Hmm!"
Chen Xi nodded affirmatively!
It was at this time that ......
"Ah......h
A terrible scream penetrated the layers of decks and faintly came out.
The faces of everyone present changed dramatically again......
Many people who reacted quickly blurted out: "Someone!! ”
…………………………………………………………………
Because it is necessary to clear out the dark chasers on this ship, most of the people who remain on the Dingyuan at this time are evolutionaries!
Even if they are not evolutionaries, most of them have certain special abilities.
For example: Chen Yan, Chen Xi, Mu Zhongyun......
Those who did not have the ability to protect themselves were forced by Xia Jian to stay on the Weiyuan.
The reason is that they are all strong......
Naturally, they are all masters of survival!
Basically, they have their own set of skills to distinguish between humans and dark chasers.
……
The screams that faintly reached everyone's ears through the decks just now, although they were small and easy to be ignored, there were still many people who judged that it was a human being who made the screams, not only that, but it should also be a woman!
For everyone......
This news is even more surprising than the one just now, the Dingyuan is likely to have a blood clan at the peak of the general level.
You know, this is on the sea......
On this ship, which has been floating at sea for half a year since the day of the Great Apocalypse, there are still human survivors on the ship full of dark chasers!
How did this man survive?
……
"Bang Bang ......"
But just when everyone was in shock, the door to control on the bow of the ship was suddenly pushed open roughly.
It's Mu Zhongyun!
Due to his poor strength, Mu Zhongyun has been responsible for driving the Dingyuan since the morning.
But at this time, his face was full of anxiety, and he hurriedly trotted towards Xia Jian!
"What's wrong?"
"There is a group of engines, it seems to be broken!"
"Broken?"
Xia Jian's face turned cold, "When did it happen?" ”
"Just ......"
"Just now?"
Xia Jian's brows were tightly twisted together, thoughtful!
Soon, he seemed to think of something: "I think! I know where this blood clan is hidden! ”
