Chapter 728 Take Action

There are always followers around the Dragon King, or dragon attendants, or other low-level, dirty things that should be swept away by history in a corner that never sees the sun.

The existence of these things can be traced back to the time when dragon civilization was still prosperous. At that time, pure-blood dragons would not choose to bury their companions after they died, but would cold-bloodedly use their corpses to make puppets through alchemy. Until the day it completely decays and collapses, it will forever guard the city and its people.

In later generations, this method of preparing corpses for "immortality" was imitated by humans in Egypt, the Qin Dynasty, and other eras, and puppets such as mummies and terracotta warriors (living warriors and horses) were made in order to obtain eternal tomb guardians. . However, due to the shackles of the level of alchemy, most of the puppets made by humans can only maintain their "shape" for a long time and cannot retain their "soul". Therefore, similar puppet production can only add archaeological surprises to future generations, and will not have any impact on the journey to guard the mausoleum. Has no effect.

Now the 'mausoleum' aboard the Beichuan ship is the real dragon king's lair. The people on the ship can finally see an eternal wonder in the dragon lair. It is also the first ever to slay a dragon and steal a mausoleum. Problem - corpse guard.

The swaying songs surrounding the Beichuan ship suddenly stopped at a certain moment, and the howling of the storm took over the main tone again. The sound of the wind seemed like countless people roaring around the ears, and the sounds of breaking water were cleverly hidden in the Under the roar of the wind, only the flash of lightning struck their ferocious slender black shadows on the water shadow on the deck.

The first prey of the first wave of zombies that broke into the ship was naturally the black figure standing on the side of the ship holding the rope. He was the only living person standing on the entire deck, like the only piece of fresh meat or cheese on the dinner plate.

They jumped out of the water and fell from the sky, carrying the roar of the violent storm and crying like babies from the ferocious gap. But the moment they approached the back of the figure, the crying stopped abruptly.

The fiery red ring illuminated the dark night, and the luminosity increased rapidly like a spiral tungsten wire that was exposed to high heat and made a subtle sound. Afterwards, the ring of fire shattered and emitted a light of up to 3,000 lumens. The entire Beichuan ship looked like It was the exploding lighthouse that illuminated most of the stormy night in Kuimen!

At the same time, what is really fatal is the high temperature and pressure that explodes with the light. The large rainstorm is evaporated into a large amount of gas in an instant. The thick white mist instantly covers the entire deck like a steaming sauna. The shock wave even blows the entire high-speed The warship pressed down, then was bumped by the river water, and soared into the air like a fish leaping for an instant!

After the water vapor was blown away by the rain and strong wind, several black charcoal skeletons appeared on the deck, as well as Chu Zihang in the center holding a sword in one hand with shining golden eyes.

Once the corpse guards made by the Dragon King were not sniped and landed on the ship, they could almost kill all the living people on the entire warship in a very short period of time. However, it was a pity that in their first battle this time, they encountered an enemy who was completely worn down by the execution department. The sharp knife was unsheathed for the first time in three months.

Junyan erupted for the first time. The carbonized skeleton remains at Chu Zihang's feet still had an astonishing residual warmth. Their carbonized structures retained the color of lava, and the rainwater poured on them continued to make a sizzling sound. White steam came out, and the temperature of this Junyan's explosion was almost a thousand degrees Celsius. It was the strongest Junyan in history. But it was definitely not the strongest.

The cries around the Beichuan ship at full speed became more and more intensive. They followed the warship at an unimaginable speed. The steel giant got closer to the dive site, and the cries became more intense. The pale shadow It gradually expanded to a range of tens of meters and revolved around the warship. It was difficult to imagine the true number of corpse guards lurking under the river.

"Deadpool? Or something else?" The first mate observed the situation on the deck through the rear window. After seeing the slender molten skeleton, he couldn't help but feel a little creepy. It was definitely not a creature that could be born in nature. It had the head of a human and the body of a snake. There is no trunk part, and the whole thing looks like a big squirming insect.

In textbooks, the orthodox corpse guards should all appear in the form of majestic dragons, like dead Titans. The look and feel of the concept drawings is also closer to the "bone dragon" in Western fantasy works, but these corpse guards that appear now But they are all things with human heads and snake bodies that are close to Deadpool.

"The corpse guard, but it is not made from the corpse of a pure-blood dragon. It feels more like a puppet made from the corpse of a hybrid." Caesar has learned about corpse guards, but this is the first time he has seen this kind of monster. His face was very serious, "I heard that when I first dived into the Bronze City, I found a large number of human skeletons inside. Maybe Norton made the Corpse Watch out of the mixed-race corpses?"

"Why are their scales white?"

"No, look carefully, that white layer is not scales, it should be white wax. It melted directly after being burned by Jun Yan. This means that they have been sealed in the wax layer with the characteristics of the Dragon King before they awaken. Only then did they avoid being eroded by time like those white bones." Caesar accurately pointed out the key to the problem, "The white wax has not completely faded away, which means that they have just woken up from their deep sleep, and they should have been destroyed within these twelve hours. Wake up, this is the meeting gift prepared for us by His Highness Norton."

"It is in line with the behavior of the furious 'White Emperor' to imprison the souls of offending transgressors in corpses to guard the city in order to repay the crime of deceiving the emperor." The first mate took a deep breath, "But isn't the amount too much? Is it dense?”

"This actually makes me admire Norton's patience. I heard in the "Alchemy" course that the process of making corpse guards is like making figures, carefully carving them one by one, and then arranging them on The independent room is simply full of Japanese craftsmanship,” Caesar said.

"So Norton is just an old nerd who likes to make figurines at home? His hobbies are hollowing out mountains to build houses and making figurines of people who come to demolish his house. It sounds really harmless." A message sounded on the communicator. Ming Fei's muttering, the communication channels in the captain's room and the war room were always open.

"What is the figure?" It's just that the elderly first mate is not very good at catching the jokes of young people.

"Now is not the time to talk about this." Caesar looked at the rear window and said in a deep voice, "First mate, turn on the deck light!"

The sound of water breaking sounded again on the deck. The second wave of corpse guards' attack had already struck. At the same time, one white light after another on the deck of the Beichuan ship lit up, illuminating the entire deck. At the same time, for the first time, the corpse guards were Their appearance was exposed to the eyes of the entire crew. At an altitude of tens of meters, their pale bodies were as flexible and full of power as pythons.

Just as Caesar had guessed, each corpse had blue-black scales under the white wax layer, but none of them had arms and snake-like bodies under their heads. This made their movement and attack methods It is even more pure, relying solely on the ejection of the snake's tail to get close to the enemy and bite the enemy's throat.

Everyone can almost imagine the explosive force generated by their tail hitting the water when they jump out of the water. This speed will undoubtedly increase dozens of times on land, and they can even break through the sound barrier like a bullet at the moment of the explosion and produce a sonic boom.

Can't let them land.

This is the first thought that comes to everyone who sees this scene. Once these corpse guards fall on the deck, Chu Zihang on the deck will face countless guns locked on him. Yan Ling is a 'Jun Yan' rather than a 'Settlement'. No matter how strong he is, he cannot handle multiple high-speed ejections in one go.

Chu Zihang naturally knew this truth, so Junyan erupted for the second time. The ring of fire shattered toward the sky. Due to the hurricane turbulence, the high-pressure flames released were rolled into an astonishing fire tornado that absorbed all the corpse guards. After passing by, the pale figures among the heart-rending cries were all burned into charcoal and sprinkled into the river.

After the explosion of Junyan, Chu Zihang opened his mouth slightly in the fire and exhaled, then completely pulled out the sword Murasame in his hand from its scabbard and pointed it at the deck.

"He can't hold on for too long. Jun Yan consumes a lot of energy and will be exhausted no more than five times after detonating in a row." Caesar said, as Chu Zihang's opponent, he couldn't understand where his opponent's limits are.

"The warship can try to launch conventional torpedoes to clear at least part of the underwater enemies first." the first mate suggested.

"The effect shouldn't be too big. The fact that these corpse guards can keep up with warships traveling at full speed means that their maneuverability is much stronger than we imagined. Moreover, if the torpedo is detonated at close range, it can even blow up the bottom tank. The storm torpedo can now It's still stored in the bottom tank. We can't afford this loss." Manstein rejected the proposal, "But we can intercept it before he boards the ship. This is a warship!"

"Understood." The first mate immediately understood what Manstein meant, then looked at Caesar, "Turn on the weapon fire control system."

"The third wave of corpse guards is coming," Caesar said.

The water surface shattered, and another round of white shadows shot out. This time, the corpse guard group was not blocked by Jun Yan, but the deck suddenly lit up with the light of gunfire and deafening continuous explosions. It was Beichuan. The ship's 730 close-in defense gun opened fire!

The two bursts of Jun Yan allowed the Beichuan ship to know its enemy. The law of three things directly caused these corpse guards who were ejected to an altitude of tens of meters and then landed directly to fall into the strike range of thermal weapons. Countless white figures were hit by ammunition. When the short firelight came into contact, it was instantly torn into pieces by the huge force and thrown into the river, dead without any body parts!

The 730 close-in defense gun, as the Beichuan ship's secondary gun, is capable of intercepting high-speed anti-ship missiles. The 'goalkeeper' close-in defense gun works completely automatically. Once the fire control system is unlocked, these corpse guards falling from high altitudes are completely live targets. Before it even hits the ground, it will be locked by radar and beaten to pieces!

The third wave of corpse guards were completely wiped out before they even landed. The fourth wave of corpse guards followed closely behind. The 730 close-in defense cannons fired again, but this time there were many more fish that slipped through the net. Those corpse guards actually adjusted their settings. Leap out of the water and land on the deck from the blind spot of the secondary battery as much as possible!

A large number of corpse guards fell on the deck and howled with joy. Their dark golden snake-like eyes locked on the only living person on the deck, Chu Zihang, and the slender and powerful snake tail spirally entangled on the ground. It began to accumulate terrible power. Under the illumination of the deck lights, at first glance, it looked like one pile of snakes coiled on the ground, and Chu Zihang was the prey wrapped in the snakes. This scene made people break out in cold sweat.

The ring of fire behind Chu Zihang lit up but he did not release the spirit spirit. Instead, he used his scorching golden pupils to lock onto these monsters with human heads and snake bodies. He used the 'tooth-protruding' knife-wielding method to deal with these eager enemies. Facing the high-speed A corpse guard who normally wields a knife will die early. Only by piercing through and using the opponent's kinetic energy to defeat the enemy can he truly achieve a fatal blow.

Just as the Corpse Guards were preparing to attack, a sudden explosion broke the deathly silence, and the head of a Corpse Guard on the deck that had been charged to the limit suddenly exploded!

The corpse guard lost the control of his brain and his tense muscles relaxed instantly, and the accumulated strength burst out in one breath. The corpse guard's body shot out like a spring, making a loud explosion in the air, and the next moment it directly It disappeared, and when I turned around to look, I only found a ferocious irregular hole on the steel side of the ship.

Before I could be shocked by the terrifying power of the corpse guard's ejection, gunshots rang out one after another. On the Beichuan ship's shipboard radar, two figures climbed to the top and lay down at some point. They could barely be seen clearly in the firelight of the gunshots. The profiles of the two girls - Su Qian and Chen Mo Tong, the signature snipers of the Lion Heart Club and the Student Union, still did their job as snipers in the violent storm, covering their teammates in the dangerous battlefield.

Wave after wave of corpse guards began to jump out of the water in large numbers. Amidst the roar of the secondary guns, some corpse guards still slipped through the net and fell into the deck. At this time, dense footsteps began to sound in the cabin, possessing combat capabilities. The crew also began to gradually join the battle, and the firepower network began to be pulled out to attack the corpse guards on the deck.

In front of the window of the combat command room, Ye Sheng watched the gunfire and flesh and blood flying on the deck and subconsciously clenched his fists. Chu Zihang's figure rushing on the deck was like walking on the tip of a death knife. He and those who ejected The moment Shishou staggered away, life and death passed by each other, but because of his strength, he stood on the side of life every time. Murasame was always the first to penetrate Shishou's jaw and pierce it directly from the back of the head. Then he tilted the blade and slashed half of the corpse guard's head.

"Don't we need to join the war?" Ye Sheng looked at Manstein and asked hesitantly, "These zombies are very fast. Once they break through the defense line, the consequences will be disastrous. But in terms of speed, we don't have Lin Nian here."

"There is a reason why the dive team is divided into four." Manstein interrupted Ye Sheng and looked at the battlefield on the deck with a cold face and said, "We have reason to believe that this is the Dragon King who is consuming us before the war. With the physical strength of the main force, the Dragon King knew that these corpse guards could not do anything to us, but he still awakened them within these twelve hours. This intention was already obvious. He was not ready yet, so we had to use our full strength to I'm ready to face him, even if I have to pay some price in the process."

"But Lin Nian." Ye Sheng turned around and took a step forward to put his hand on Manstein's shoulder, but was stopped by Jiude Aki who was standing beside him.

"Professor Manstein is right. Just like what Caesar said, there are too many corpse guards observed by sonar. Even Lin Nian will spend a lot of effort to deal with them. 'Snap' can indeed We promise to deal with these corpse guards without any injuries, but it is very irrational to drag the main army to a state of fatigue before meeting the Dragon King." Looking at the roar of secondary artillery and snipers on the battlefield, Shude Aki also He had to make a calm statement, "The priority dive team needs to be protected before diving just like the storm torpedoes in the bottom tank."

Lu Mingfei looked to his left at Ye Sheng and then at Jiude Aki, and quickly said in his heart, senior, please put on more oil, otherwise we would all have to go out and fight in the rain.

"Ye Sheng, calm down. Lin Nian and Lu Mingfei, including you and Yaji, should focus on the exploration of Bronze City. Your task is no easier than the soldiers on the deck now, and it is even more dangerous. Hundreds of times." Manstein exhaled and his tone was still stiff, "Sometimes even if you have to witness possible sacrifices, you must not rush to prevent the sacrifices from happening. This is the code of the Executive Department."

"Professor, you have misunderstood me." Ye Sheng took a step forward and put his hand on Manstein's shoulder, indicating that he would look back in the direction he was pointing, "I mean Lin Nian."

Manstein looked back and was about to say something but immediately shut up because he looked along where Ye Sheng indicated and saw only the door to the tactical command room open, and Lin Nian had long since disappeared.

Jiude Aki was also stunned and looked at Lu Mingfei, who looked left and right in confusion, indicating that he had not noticed Lin Nian's disappearance.

".Lin Nian." Ye Sheng suddenly pointed under the boat window.

After Manstein turned his head, he felt a little angry, because he saw that the main force that he said should be "protected" had appeared on the deck, and even walked on foot to the battlefield where the firepower network was intertwined.

He finally understood where Lin Nian's reputation for "discipline", "uncontrollable" and "individualism", which was often protested by the commanders of the executive department, came from. Now that this feeling fell on him, he understood Professor Mance immediately. Is this the reason why I usually sneer at myself, Lin Nian’s mentor?

"Let him come back! Now is not the time for him to take action!" Manstein grabbed the communicator and shouted to all channels with his blood pressure rising, including of course the channel of the dive team's headset.

On the deck, Chu Zihang, who had just narrowly avoided a corpse guard rushing behind him with his intuition, had not yet stood still. When he turned around, he saw a familiar figure coming out of the cabin despite the heavy rain, and heard the sound in the headset. Manstein's blood pressure roared.

He just wanted to go to Lin Nian's side to join him to dissuade him, but his steps suddenly stopped because he realized that Lin Nian's next actions might not be as reckless and unplanned as others expected. .

Chu Zihang discovered that Lin Nian did not have any weapons in his hands and walked towards the battlefield with empty hands.

At this time, just as he expected, Lin Nian released the word spirit. There was no chanting, but everyone could clearly feel that a "domain" spread from the boy who walked into the battlefield.

But this time, he did not disappear in front of everyone in the same way as before, but still kept moving forward steadily, and the unknown field continued to spread towards the stormy night as if there was no end.

Yanling·Baqi.

The word spirit, which was different from the speed type, appeared in front of the hybrids for the first time, without hiding or covering up.
