Chapter 117: Lightning Strike

The Nautilus Fortress is large and sturdy, and it takes quite a skilled craftsman to maintain it. What Akentero lacked at this time was such a talent, and he could only direct Okazawa to do some rough maintenance when needed. Although Akentero is also a skilled person, there are always times when he is stretched thin in the ability to handle some technical details.

"Phew! ......" a muffled sound, with a shaky rhythm, ushered in a "squeak...... The sound of "click-click-click......" resounded through the Nautilus Fortress, waking Kiki and Lingji from their sleep at night.

"What's the matter?" Kiki asked Lingji.

"There's nothing to worry about, about an hour ago, my lantern jellyfish pet outside sent me a message that there was another storm on the sea, and we should be safer at the bottom of the sea." Lingji replied.

"I hope so." Kiki still had a sense of foreboding.

There was a cacophony of noises outside the door of the room, and there seemed to be a commotion. Kiki opened the door and looked out through a few bends, only to see that the people who usually stayed in the wooden cage were rushing into the wooden cage, and Okazawa outside shouted:

"Slow down, slow down, don't just squeeze into one cage, that's too crowded. I assure you that none of you are in danger! ”

"Okazawa-sama, what's going on? What about my mother? Kiki asked.

"Yo, wake you up, wake up. You can also go out of the fortress and stay with a group first, and then come back when the storm stops. Your mom is seen alone in a wooden cage and is already in a safe place outside. Okazawa replied, turning his head.

"What happened?" Lingji leaned in and asked.

"It's nothing, every time there is a big ocean storm, the fortress will be affected a little bit and shake. At this time, they will be allowed to enter the wooden cage and transport the wooden cage outside, which is safer than the fortress. Bring them back when the storm passes. This time, however, the storm was so strong that the fortress's shell collided with a rock on the bottom of the sea, and cracks appeared. ”

"What, rift? The water pressure on the seabed is very high, and it is dangerous to have cracks. Kiki said worriedly.

"That's right, so in order to alleviate the risk factor of water pressure. It was necessary to have Lord Arcantero personally control the rise of the fortress to reduce the water pressure, and then repair the damaged parts of the shell. Okazawa replied.

"Kiki, I haven't been to the surface of the sea for some days. Let's go out surfing while this guy is here! "Lingji is a bit playful.

Kiki didn't want to go, she wanted to stay with Kenken's mother even more. But they couldn't resist the request of the good sisters and went out together. It is necessary to understand the weaknesses of this fortress, which is one of the purposes of infiltrating the fortress, and this information may be used in the future.

When I got out of the fortress, I felt that the sea water outside the fortress was stirred very violently. It was as if the whole body was being pushed around by so many hands, and not only that, but there was a rumbling sound and flashing thunder and lightning on the surface of the water. The world under the sea seemed to vent its anger at someone, roaring over and over again through the lightning and thunder above......

With the evacuation of people inside the fortress and the relocation of some supplies, the weight of the fortress began to lighten. So it slowly floats upwards, and the floating speed gradually increases. The huge and magnificent fortress roared in front of the two girls, like a huge sea beast challenging the power of the sea.

"Staying on top of the giant Nautilus Fortress and admiring the sea must be something special, it must be very cool!" Lingji was a little excited, and before Kiki could speak, she couldn't help but swing her tail and swam towards the top of the fortress. The speed is very fast, and it seems that Lingji at this time is even more excited than when she meets a handsome guy before, so that Kiki doesn't catch up and pull.

The floating mechanism inside the fortress was activated, and the whole giant nautilus dragged large strings of bubbles straight upwards. Lingji is already crouching on top of the Nautilus Fortress, ready to embrace the stormy night on the surface of the ocean. Kiki chased after her, and she saw many long metal spikes standing on the top of the fortress. She wasn't worried about whether the long pole spikes would stab Lingji, but whether the long poles would attract lightning when they came out of the sea.

"Lingji! Danger, come down! Kiki shouted as she chased. But the fortress is rising faster and faster......

There was a "......boom", and the sound of water breaking from the top of the fortress overpowered the howling of the churning waves, and the waves splashed in all directions. Before Lingji could react from the shocking momentum at the top, she was pushed into the sea by Kiki who rushed out from behind.

At that moment, time almost froze, and no one could do it if they wanted to go faster. The whole world was almost frightened, and a white light shone like it had lasted for a long time without extinguishing it, illuminating a figure struck by lightning. It also illuminates the remorseful eyes of Lingji, who turned her head to look back.

If you weren't playful, you wouldn't have gotten out of the fortress and wanted to go upstream. If you didn't want to be cool, you wouldn't have run to the top of the fortress to see the scenery. If you weren't too careless, you wouldn't have run to the lightning rod to linger during a thunderstorm. If it weren't for the slow reaction, Kiki wouldn't have been struck by lightning......

"No......" Lingji cried and pounced on Kiki.

……

There was a burst of sound in my ears, a little noisy. I felt like it was coming from far away, and it was like the sound of many people singing, and the sound was cheerful and lively. It was so hard for Kiki to continue to fall asleep that she opened her eyes to find herself sleeping on a white reef.

The huge white pillars of light shining down from the calm water were dazzling, and there were more than one such pillars of light. The oblique shots reflect this transparent and clear sea area one by one, and all kinds of colorful marine creatures swim freely.

The song came again:

Lalala...... Lalala......

We are all brave sailors on the sea

Stormy waves are our friends

Sadness and fear are never in our dictionary

Lalala...... Lalala......

We are all happy sailors above the sea

The beautiful Caixia often holds hands with us

Hopes and dreams keep us on our journey without regrets

Lalala...... Lalala......

We are all good sailors on the sea

The sun, moon and stars are so gentle

Day and night make us no longer feel lonely

Lalala...... Lalala......

……

Following the prestige, behind him is a huge submarine mountain. The top of the mountain juts out from the high clouds above the sea, but at the foot of the mountain in the middle of the sea there is a huge vertical and large fissure, in which many mermaid figures swim and work. And a towering white building could be made out of the crack, oh my! Isn't that white building the Nautilus Fortress?
