Ember Gun

  Chapter 556 Another Nightmare

   "So ten years ago, was it the Shrike that killed Lancelot in the end?"

  Lorenzo walked in front and asked casually. Before Garon could reply behind him, he said to himself.

   "Forget it, who cares? It was ten years ago."

  After listening to the story told by Garon, Lorenzo led these people to the deck. Lorenzo was also thinking about the various disputes ten years ago, but finally he was relieved.

  That is a thing of the past. In the mouths of Shrike and Garon, although the stories are roughly the same, they are still different in some details that determine the direction of the story.

  Lorenzo is too lazy to continue to entangle these, anyway, no matter how bizarre the story is, it can't escape the limitations of the people of these stories.

   "It's really time to look forward to your return to normal, Frocky."

Looking to his side, the crazy Frocky was sturdy, and Lorenzo lifted him easily with one hand and carried him on his shoulders. Clough behind him supported Garon all the way up. .

  Walking out of the dimness, there is no air rolling on the deck, and some are just silent cold, and white mist can be seen when you breathe out the air.

A large number of soldiers gathered on the deck for maintenance and alert. The lifting platform was opened, and now it can be quickly descended to the bottom cabin through the ropeway, making the force support faster, and the command room is protected by the regiment. Nota Er red eyes, grasping the rudder wheel.

The mechanical arm on the crane moved slowly, carrying the scrap iron residues, and throwing them into the silent deep sea. The huge hooks swayed back and forth on the heads of several people, and they all landed on the heads of several people together, as well as lighting. The strong light from the sun shines on the deck, and some falls on the sea surface, reflecting the blue water.

  The sea is clear, and the light has been spreading for several meters before slowly losing track. Under the light, there is nothing in the water, not even floating sand.

   "It's so quiet..."

  Lorenzo looked at all this and couldn't help sighing.

In Shrike’s narration, Lorenzo thought he had a general understanding of this sea area, but when he really went deep here and felt the panic and tranquility, even Lorenzo himself couldn’t help but feel a little bit. Of depression.

  It’s too quiet.

Compared to staying here, Lorenzo prefers to be in a frenzied and **** battlefield. At least there, he can clearly know who his enemies are, can see them, hear their voices, rather than Here, hiding in the glimmer of light, always watchful for the monsters from the depths.

   "What's the situation, everyone."

  Lorenzo stepped into the command room and made his voice sound as relaxed as possible. If necessary, Lorenzo also prepared to say a few cold jokes to ease the atmosphere.

  With a false smile on his face, he was about to say something, but he was stiff together.

  The atmosphere in the command room is depressed, and Lorenzo can't tell cold jokes at all, let alone talk bad things.

  Nottal stood there blankly like a decayed corpse, his palms firmly grasping the steering wheel, his eyes covered with bloodshot eyes, and he looked straight ahead at the dark-shrouded sea.

  If he hadn't been able to see his chest rising and falling slightly and breathing, Lorenzo would have thought Notar had done his best in his post.

  He turned his head slowly, and some pale faces appeared in front of Lorenzo. Notar said nothing or did nothing. After looking at Lorenzo, he looked back at the darkness ahead.

  Notar doesn’t know what he should do. In this dark world, there is no need to steer. Anyway, no matter which direction they head in, there is only endless darkness.

  But he still clings to the rudder wheel, it seems that this can make him feel a little safe.

   "I think he is a bit bad, do you want to kill him first."

  Seleu saw Lorenzo, so he walked over quickly, and whispered in his ear.

  The state of the girl was not much better. Seleu had injected several Florent medicines one after another. Her eyes were flushed. Like many people, she felt like staying up all night.

  Different from the others on the ship, Seleu had not received professional training, but perhaps her original nature was at work. She was unexpectedly strong, and she has not fallen yet. She is still eager to try and prepare to kill others first.

   "I think Captain Notal can hold on for a while." Lorenzo said, rejecting Seleu's **** proposal.

  Even if they did not encounter enemies, in this erosive environment, they were attrition at any time. Before reaching the end of the world, this armored ship might become a dead ship.

  Everyone in existence is an extremely precious resource. As long as there is no symptom of alienation, they are still Lorenzo's comrades.

   "You performed pretty well, I thought you were now ready to transform into a monster." Lorenzo half-joked.

   Seleuc’s performance really exceeded his expectations. If it weren’t for her eye pupils were somewhat congested, Seleu’s appearance would be the same as usual, as if she hadn’t been affected by erosion.

   "I'm just trying to divert my attention and let myself do something. Once I'm idle, those voices become louder and louder."

   Said that Seleuc picked up the "Victoria Secret", and lighted up the pocket knife in his hand again, indicating that he had been staring at Notar.

   "You guys will stay here first, and protect Frocky."

  Lorenzo glanced at Garon and the others, they found a place to sit down, and put the mad Frocky aside.

  "Does this count as an increase in work for me?" Seleu asked.

"Not really, they didn't fall down so easily, after all, now I and them are considered to have common interests," Lorenzo said, threw the two pocket knives in the past, and slid down in front of Garon. "Protect. Good Frocky, I can make him sober, but if he becomes a dead person, it will take too much effort."

Gallon silently picked up the two pocket knives. Now only the iron-clad ship under him can take them out of the sea of ​​silence, and only Lorenzo can make Frocky wake up, no matter what Lorenzo says is true. It's still a lie, and all Kanon can do is trust him.

  On this quiet and vast sea, only the iron-clad ship under their feet is their only foothold.

  "Do you want to move on? Lorenzo, keep repeating this aimlessly?"

  Notar can't bear this a bit, the picture in front of him is so monotonous, sometimes he almost forgets the existence of time, and suddenly wakes up, he also doesn't know how long he has been driving in the dark.

  Before setting sail, Notar had been psychologically prepared, but it was clear that he had not seen true despair, which caused him to have some cognitive deviations about the malice of this world.

   "Go ahead, we are on the right path." Lorenzo said confidently.

  "How are you sure of this?" Notar questioned.

  Lorenzo did not reply for a moment, but looked at Notar carefully, and after a while, he asked.

   "Karon, Frocky has said that there are always contradictions in the sea of ​​silence?"

   "Yes, this is a cursed sea. Every time before sailing, the adults will carefully select those who are truly brave Viking warriors, and take them into the sea of ​​silence."

  Galon lowered his head, holding cold metal in his hands.

   "But no matter how brave Viking warriors are, facing the test of death, they will reveal their true value. Some people stay here forever, and some are fortunate to return with the adults."

   "Notar, you are a little shaken."

  Lorenzo looked directly at Notar, his breath became vicious, and a gleam of white light flashed in his eyes.

  "Trust me, Notar, as long as you believe in me, I will be able to take you away."

  Lorenzo made a listening gesture, and then asked.

  "Didn't you hear it yet?"

   "Hear what?"

  Nottal asked, the sea was so quiet, there was no sound.

  "Geiger counter."

   Lorenzo said.

Notar was stunned. Although Jihai was quiet, the Chenhui Advance was constantly restless. Since entering Jihai, the Geiger counter has been beeping endlessly, no matter where you are in the cabin, you can vaguely Hear the monotonous high-frequency beep.

   "Why...what's wrong?"

  Notar did not understand, his mental high pressure for a long time made his thoughts become a lot stiff, and many simple things became difficult to think about.

  "Listen, Notar, don't you think the warning sound of the Geiger counter has become more high-frequency and sharper?"

  Lorenzo listened to this sound, it has been with everyone, causing no one to notice this subtle change.

  Nottal's face turned pale, and his expression of horror was superimposed on it little by little, and his hands trembling uncontrollably.

   "Our route is correct. We have been going deep into the sea of ​​silence, and the ever-increasing erosion is the best proof."

  In Lorenzo’s narration, mechanical screams surrounded them, as if infinite evil spirits were wailing in their ears.

  Garon doesn’t know what these so-called Geiger counters are, but he can also feel the urgency and depression from the increasing frequency.

  These sounds are like dense drum beats, beating the heart, oppressing the rush of blood, transporting a steady stream of oxygen to the brain, and congesting the eyes and pupils.

  The command room fell into a brief calm, and when everyone was thinking about Lorenzo's words, the change suddenly occurred.

It was the roar from above the deck, and the sound resounded through the night, as if from the desire of a bloodthirsty beast, overlapped with it, and the scream of the Geiger counter. At the same moment, the Geiger counter The sound of the sound has also become more high-frequency and sharper.

  The sound seemed to have turned into a sharp knife, constantly cutting the eardrums of all listeners, and in this way of inflicting pain, it warned them of the danger of explosion.

   "Demon!"

  Lorenzo roared, but before the roar, his movements were faster than his voice.

  Winchester was directly erected and pulled the trigger. Before a few people could react, they were stunned by the roar of the gun, and the bullet popped out of the chamber, pierced through the cracked glass, and shot into the night.

  A few seconds later, a humanoid corpse fell from the pendant tower and hit the window in front of the command room with one end, blood slowly flowing through the gap between the glass.

With its face pressed against the window, it still has a human form, except that some of the ends of its limbs are slightly alienated. Lorenzo shot through its heart. After such a high fall, it has not yet died and opened. Mouth, the scarlet tongue licked the window, as if tasting the delicious food of a few people.

  Lorenzo shook his folding knife and pierced its neck with a sword through the glass, severing all bones and nerves.

   "The erosion is intensifying, and some people have begun to demonize."

Lorenzo put away the jackknife. As a demon hunter, he could clearly perceive the changes in the intensity of erosion nearby. Soldiers one after another were alienated because they could not resist the erosion. They died one after another. Such a meaningless death.

  As long as Lorenzo continues to advance, more and more people will die meaninglessly, and such deaths are countless in the history of mankind.

   "Shoot the siren!"

  Lorenzo shouted to Notar.

   "The siren is damaged. It was destroyed in the previous battle."

Notal pulled twice before realizing it. Before he could continue to say something, the Chenhui Advance shook violently. Through the light shining on the sea, he could see that the calm sea was already There were waves.

  The waves are roaring, and the whole sea area is restless and boiling in a blink of an eye.

  This sudden change made Lorenzo's heart chill, and it was accompanied by more harsh screams, and the Geiger counters roared, urging them to escape from this dangerous place as soon as possible.

  But where can they escape?

  Jihai is so vast, almost endless.

More crashes sounded, and countless ice floes appeared on the sea. They were dragged by the sea and hit the hull one by one. It seems that a place not far from here is constantly disintegrating. glacier.

   "Heaven...it's dawn, Lorenzo."

   Seleuc shouted with some horror. She pointed to the sea ahead, and a dazzling band of light rose at the end of the darkness.

  That is not the light belt, but the newborn sun. The long night finally ushered in the end. The lead gray clouds that had trapped everyone before disappeared, and the day was unstoppable under the clear sky.

  Lorenzo watched fascinatedly at the light that cut through the darkness. Under this long-term depression, the light was so dazzling, and tears filled the eyes.

The edge of the   light band lights up a light blue band, the color gradually decreases, and finally turns to dark blue, which is in line with the darkness that has not yet receded.

   "Are we... escaped?"

  Nottal looked at all this, tears streaming down his face.

   "No... this is just the beginning of another nightmare."

  Lorenzo’s words dragged him back to hell, and he strode out of the command room, exposed to the gusty wind on the deck.

  As the Shrike told in his memory.

  Lorenzo raised his head, lost the barrier of the gray screen, and the stars behind the sky will no longer be blocked.

  I saw a light trail constructed by stars straddling Lorenzo's head, and the aurora flew by in the darkness, passing continuously, weaving a hazy road sign.

  They are always there, the channel is always there, but they are blocked by the gray screen and cannot be observed at all. When the ship sails out of the gray screen and can see them, the ship will have no turning back.

"end of the world."

  Lorenzo's mood was surging. All the sacrifices were worthwhile. They went deep into the sea of ​​silence, about to continue the unfinished path of Shrike and Merlin, and find the truth of all the mysteries.

  Everything was supposed to be like this, but Lorenzo knew very well how shrike’s memories ended.

  He looked at the end of the night, the dazzling thunder convolved in the storm, and under the leadership of the big ship, they advanced towards the Chenhui Advance.

  All things are not important anymore, the great journey will reach the end.

  Critical breakthrough.

  The Secret Blood surged, eroding and spreading, and in a blink of an eye the whole ship of Chenhui Advancing was enveloped.

  Lorenzo ordered in [Gap] and pulled out the pocket knife and Winchester.
