Chapter 23 Call It a Day

On the dark seabed, the huge Traveler City stopped there. Countless lights were turned on around the entire city, illuminating a large area of ​​nearby seawater brightly. The blurry light and shadow that the group of people coming from Duludu saw before was this large area of ​​sea water, and as they approached, they immediately saw the figure of Traveler City.

"Stop, stop, stop..." The advancing team was suddenly stopped by the commander's hand. Since this person can be responsible for leading the team in such an important operation, he is naturally not an ordinary person, at least he is not stupid.

The people in Duludu have never been able to control Traveler City, not because they can't defeat the opponent, but because they can't find the opponent's position. Even if they can destroy the opponent's troops every time, you can't defeat their city, whether it's population or The loss of equipment can be recovered slowly, so from the moment Traveler City was discovered, the problem of Duludu has been solved, and there is no need to worry now.

Since the threat no longer exists, there is no need to take risks. Seeing that the current situation is obviously abnormal, it is absolutely necessary to stop and investigate. Anyway, Traveler City is there, and even if you run away, it is impossible for that thing to escape. Underwater motorcycle.

"Strange, why is it not moving?" the commander said doubtfully after calling the troops to stop.

Haier, who was leading the way for them, also said beside the commander: "I think something must have happened. If it weren't for Traveler City, it should be a low-key and covert operation. Now all the external lighting is turned on, as if for fear that others will not know. They are the same here, this is obviously abnormal."

The commander thought for a while and said: "Everyone takes cover first. Send a few scouts over to see what's going on."

Upon hearing this, Haier immediately said: "Sir, let me go."

The commander waited until Haier's words before he remembered what kind of scouts he needed. Isn't one of the best scouts in Duludu right next to him? He didn't think of it before, but now of course he immediately agreed with Haier's opinion after waking up. After receiving the agreement, Haier quickly started his underwater motorcycle and drove towards the Traveler City ahead. But just halfway through, he met Habi who was running back.

"Habi?" "Haier?" Because their speed was too fast, Habi and Haier didn't notice each other until they were passing each other. If they hadn't reacted quickly, they would have almost collided. After the two people staggered, they immediately went around in circles and met again at the spot where they had just passed each other.

As soon as Habi saw Haier, he asked, "You're back so soon? Has the main force arrived?"

Haier immediately nodded and said: "We're here, we'll hide there. But what's going on in Traveler City?"

Upon hearing this, Habi immediately said excitedly: "Haha, you would never have imagined that President Ziri is so awesome. He actually instigated the murloc rebels in Traveler City. Now there is a large-scale uprising in Traveler City. The murlocs rioted. Moreover, their own mechanics took the initiative to destroy the power plant of Traveler City. Now Traveler City is completely unable to move. The captain has already gone in first. He asked me to come to meet you and ask you not to attack the Traveler. The outside of the city. Just rush in and capture it."

Of course, Haier would not be an idiot if she could be a scout. She knew which one was better to capture or destroy without even thinking about it. So when she heard that there was a chance to capture Traveler City, she immediately screamed with excitement and immediately urged Habi to notify her like her. The team behind came quickly.

The commander over there didn't expect Haier to come back so soon, but he became excited immediately after understanding the cause of the matter. They came here to destroy Traveler City. However, the opponent is a city after all, and its defense will definitely not be that weak. Even if it is a sneak attack, the final casualties will definitely be very high. certainly. He has no doubt that he will win. Traveler City has never been Duludu's opponent. All he worries about is how little he has to lose. However, these worries are no longer necessary now. In contrast to City Attack. It is too easy to enter a city that has been completely paralyzed by the civil war and control it. I dare not say zero casualties, but reducing casualties by more than half is the least. Of course, the more important thing is to capture a mobile city. Such a great achievement is much greater than destroying a city.

The excited commander immediately began to order the troops to approach. However, he was not dazzled by the good news. He still asked a small group of people to explore the way in front. The large troops slowly approached until he saw the troops in the front slip through the open hatch. After entering and not being attacked, he began to order the large troops to rush up and penetrate into the city from various entrances of Traveler City.

If he was a little worried before, when the commander himself entered the city, he was completely filled with ecstasy. After my troops entered the city, there was only sporadic resistance. The large troops almost jogged all the way to occupy all the entrances and exits. Then more troops poured in and gathered inside the city. After that, some people even contacted the resistance organizations. Due to my reasons, both sides A temporary peace agreement was reached, and the two sides began to unite to suppress the original leading race of Traveler City. Although the murlocs who were not the resistance organization did not help Duludu, they did not resist. They were all oppressed anyway. What does it have to do with who they are oppressed by?

This kind of strong sweep, which was almost like an army suppressing bandits, made the commander of Duludu tremble with excitement. He thought it would be a tough battle, but who knew that when he arrived, they were already in trouble. They were just taking advantage. Moreover, even considering the firepower output of the resistance organization, he still felt that the enemy's counterattack was abnormally weak. Of course, if he knew that all the senior personnel in Traveler City were controlled by me, and now there is no unified command of the troops in the city, then he wouldn't be surprised.

If I say that even though I have done so much, the opponent still cannot easily defeat the resistance of Traveler City, then I can only say that Duludu’s army is a little too weak. But in fact, Duludu’s army is not only not weak at all, but also has considerable combat effectiveness. Strong, so the resistance forces in Traveler City were almost wiped out like chopping melons and vegetables.

While the lower floors were fighting for life and death, I was flipping through information in a huge library. After successfully breaking into the command center, I just ordered them to turn on the city lights. And opened all the closed gates inside the city, and then rushed all the command personnel to a small room next to the command room that was originally used for the personnel on duty to rest. After that, a few Ring Knights were left to guard the door. I He took the other ring knights and began to study the various equipment in the command room. In order to confirm whether this place has the technology worth moving back to. However, I haven't seen the technology yet, so I found a secret door first. After entering through this secret door, there is a rather narrow passage. Walking not far forward, you will reach the current library.

The area of ​​this library is not large, at most it is about the same size as the living room of an ordinary private villa. After spending time in Essinger's World Library, in my opinion, this kind of place is just a private bookshelf and cannot be called a library at all, because the catalog index of Essinger's World Library has many more books than the books here. times. There is absolutely no comparison between the two.

Although the library is not big, this library actually uses a secret door and is directly connected to a key location such as the command center. Naturally, you can imagine that the things in it will not be too simple. So I took some trouble to pick up a few books and browsed them roughly.

I only flipped through three books on the bookshelf near the entrance, opened each book and read two pages, and then stuffed the entire bookshelf into the Fenglong space, because all the books on the shelf were sea charts.

Seabed maps and surface maps are not the same concept. We have to do our own mapping of these things. The investment is absolutely terrifying. Looking at the size of this bookshelf and the scale used in the atlases I flipped through, the maps on this bookshelf probably cover all the nautical chart information of the entire Atlantic Ocean and parts of the Arctic Ocean. Such a huge amount of information quantity. That is definitely priceless, although it cannot be exchanged for money. But as long as you have this kind of thing in your hands, subsequent benefits will continue to appear.

After tidying up this bookshelf, I flipped through the second bookshelf. It turned out that it was full of names and various identity records. After flipping through it for a few times, I confirmed that most of it was something like a backup archive of household registration. This thing is very important to the ruler of Traveler City. Haven't you seen that the national census has been conducted so many times in real life? This is still in modern society, such as Traveler City, where the rule is more brutal and the exploitation is more obvious. Under the political system, detailed resident identity information is even more important. However, although this thing is very important to the ruler of Traveler City and the Duludu Archon who may take over here later, it is of no use to me at all, so I gave up immediately after knowing that it was this thing. I found this bookshelf, and then continued to flip through it, but I found that there were quite a lot of household registration information, and it actually filled up the bookshelf on the right side of the wall after entering the door.

Since all the information on the right was useless, I had to start looking in order at the bookshelves on the wall opposite the door. Because the library is rectangular and the wall facing the door is narrow, there is not much content. I just flipped through a few books and found that they were all written in strange words that I couldn't understand at all. Both Traveler City and Duludu City use the common language of the underwater race. This language is the mother tongue of the mermaid tribe and is widely used under the sea. This language is used in Atlantis. However, the writing on the books on the bookshelf here is not the common language of the sea, but a rather strange writing. It looks a bit like magic writing, but it was denied after I released Ling to help me identify it. The answer is that this thing is not a magic text, and it is not directly related to the magic text. Ling can't understand these things anyway.

Because the text could not be recognized, all the books on this row of bookshelves could not be studied. However, I did not let them go and stuffed them all into the wind dragon space. Anyway, I could always translate them when I brought them back.

After putting away the bookshelf on the opposite side, I started to study the bookshelf on the left. Fortunately, the words on this side are recognizable, and there are many common symbols and various explanatory diagrams, so it is easy to understand. After a rough look through it, I found that these seemed to be technical information, which should be records of various technical achievements of Traveler City. This kind of thing is the most interesting information to me, but the technical level of the few books I read seems to be very average, so I am a little undecided whether to move them all. However, I still have Before I could make a decision, my feet suddenly shook. If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have been knocked down.

"What's going on?" I stuffed the books I just got back into the bookshelf and stumbled out of the library. The shaking on the ground has not stopped since the first time, and it is becoming more and more violent.

Before I could run out of the secret passage, Scott ran over with two Ring Knights. As soon as he saw me, he quickly reported: "Boss. Those guys escaped."

"Ah? Escaped? Didn't I ask you to guard the door? Are there any masters among those people?"

Scott said helplessly: "No, they are all ordinary creatures with average combat capabilities."

"Then what's going on? Can't you even defeat a bunch of ordinary creatures?" The reason why I asked the Bell Knight to guard the command personnel before was because I had a rough look at the strength of those people. Traveler City and Duludu are both commercial cities. Although they are currently at war, their leaders are not selected based on their own combat effectiveness. Therefore, these senior commanders are all very ordinary creatures. It can be said that almost all of them have no combat effectiveness. exist. It is precisely because these guys have no ability to resist that I did not summon the magic pet. Instead, he used the Ring Knight to guard the door, but he didn't expect that they actually ran away.

It's okay if I don't say it. But when I say Scott, he gets even sadder. You can see how depressed he is from his expression. but. Although he was very depressed, Scott still explained to me the reason why the group of people escaped, and after hearing the reason, I was stunned for several seconds before I realized what was going on.

"So it's still my problem!" I sighed helplessly.

Scott quickly comforted me and said: "After all, this is something that no one would have thought of. I can't blame you!"

I nodded and said: "It seems that we can only say that we are out of luck!"

Speaking of which, I really don't blame Scott for this, and I don't have much responsibility either. After all, the reason why this happened is so strange, because the lounge where we used to hold those guys was actually an elevator.

No one expected that there were two single beds. There is also a desk room that actually has an elevator. We thought before that this room had only one door and the space was small. There was no place to hide people, so we locked up all the prisoners. Then send someone to guard the door. However, after we closed the door, after waiting for a while, the bell knight guarding the door suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the door. Confused, they planned to go in and take a look, but when they pushed it they found that the door could not be opened. Realizing that something was wrong, the Ring Knight immediately began to violently break open the door, but when he opened it, he saw a big hole. The entire room inside the door was gone, leaving only an upward vertical shaft. After seeing this situation, the ring knights also knew that the prisoner had escaped, so they came to report, but they felt a vibration as soon as they arrived at the door.

Although those guys didn't have much physical strength, it seemed a bit embarrassing to let them run away now that they were captured, so I decided to capture them all.

After retrieving the Ring Knight, I entered the vertical shaft directly, raised my arm and bent my fingers upwards, and with a whoosh, the dragon tendon rope was shot up by me. With a dinging sound, the rope head hit the top of the elevator shaft, and then the take-up device began to take up the line, and I was immediately pulled up.

When the cable was completely retracted, I did not reach the bottom of the elevator shaft, but the bottom of the previous room. The elevator has obviously stopped at the top, and I'm hanging underneath it now.

Use eternity to make a hole at the bottom of the elevator and get directly into the elevator, and then confirmed that this is the place where we held the prisoners before, but now there is no one there, and the door of the room is also open, with a road outside Brand new channel.

I was about to leave the room and enter the passage outside. Unexpectedly, the violent vibrations suddenly began to weaken rapidly and stopped completely within two seconds. Although I didn't know what was going on, I quickly chased him into the passage outside. This passage is horizontal, and there are two directions to choose from after going out. After releasing Bailang and taking a brief sniff, the answer he got was that the prisoners divided into two groups and ran to both sides.

Since the other party separated, I had no choice but to separate, but because I didn't know what would happen, the ones I separated were Ling, Xiaochun, Jingjing, and Lingling. Ling can use my wind dragon space, and can dispatch and command any magic pets he needs at any time. The three of Xiaochun and the others happen to be the iron triangle, so fighting is not a problem, so this combination reassures me the most.

After we separated, we each headed for a passage, but the passage was not long, only a little more than ten meters on both sides. It is not the walls that seal the passage. It was a door that looked quite strong and seemed to be a high-voltage door. Now that I'm busy chasing the prisoners, I don't have time to study what's behind the door. When he went up, he opened a hole with Eternity, but when he stabbed it with a sword and pulled it to the side, he saw a large amount of sea water spraying out from the hilt of the sword. And because the water pressure was too high, the speed of the water sprayed out was very terrifying. After hitting the hilt of the eternal sword, it flew in all directions, and no one could be seen at this end of the passage in an instant.

I'm not a fool. When I saw this, of course I knew there was sea water outside. And I quickly thought that Ling and the others might be in the same situation, but unfortunately I thought of it too late.

I have indestructible eternity, so I just poked a hole in the door. Ling and Xiaochun don't have eternity. Lingling's holy sword is quite sharp. But there is no cutting rule like eternity, so Lingling rarely uses the holy sword to make holes in the door. Of course, just because they don't have weapons doesn't mean they can't break a door. In fact, they are more destructive than I am. When Ling Yi saw that the road was blocked, he didn't think about cracking the mechanism. He just went up and used the Corrosion Technique. The steel door instantly began to smoke and soften amidst a burst of chissing. Then they heard the sound of water spraying from my side, and then the door in front of them suddenly protruded towards them, and then accompanied by There was a sound. The softened and corroded part of the door instantly expanded toward them like a blown balloon and suddenly burst, followed by a well-head-thick water column spraying out from the door. The huge water pressure instantly blew all four of them away.

In reality, there is a special cutting tool called a water jet. Its working principle is to use the cutting effect of high-pressure jet to replace a physical knife to cut objects. The water jet sprayed in this water jet can easily cut through hard objects such as steel plates and glass. It is not only fast and has low vibration, but also does not generate high heat and is relatively safe.

Although this kind of water jet is quite powerful, it is actually much weaker than the water pressure on the seabed. The situation we are facing now is similar to that of the water jet. The seawater outside the door is high-pressure water, and when we destroy the door, the high-pressure water flow immediately shoots in through the breach in the door. Fortunately for me, there was Yongheng standing in front of me, but Ling and the others were in dire straits, as they were hit directly from the front. Fortunately, Jingjing reacted quickly and blocked the first wave of fire with her shield, otherwise the water pressure would have cut them open directly, but even so, several people were still knocked away.

Although I didn't have time to wake them up to dodge, I had time to remedy the situation. The moment the three of them flew out, four space cracks opened up, and then several people flew in respectively. Then the cracks disappeared, and the sea water moved toward me. It sprayed out.

Ling and the others can hide back, but I can't, but I have an absolute barrier, so it's not a big problem. After activating the absolute barrier, the high-pressure water flow could no longer do anything to me. Moreover, as the water in the channel gradually rose, a metal gate was lowered in the middle of the channel and at the elevator door just now, completely sealing the channel. After the parts outside the closed section were completely submerged, the fierce water flow immediately stabilized and became calm because the water pressure had been balanced.

I immediately canceled the absolute barrier after sealing the helmet, and the surrounding seawater immediately filled the space around me. However, because the water pressure in the game is designed not to directly hurt people, this non-impact method The water pressure didn't bother me at all.

After adjusting my body shape, I swam directly in the direction of the hole that Ling opened. The hole in the direction I opened was too small. Although it was enlarged by the water pressure, I could only fit one leg through it. That's it, the hole on Ling's side is big enough for two people to hug each other and go through it, so of course I chose this side.

After exiting the passage here, I immediately discovered that there was a quite large space outside. This space is generally rectangular, with an area roughly the same as a standard football field, maybe a little larger. The height of the space is about thirteen meters, but there is no roof. If you look up, you can directly see the sea water outside Traveler City, and the roof is completely gone. It feels like this room is like a swimming pool embedded in the surface of Traveler City.

The door I entered was not at the bottom of the room, but a little above the middle of the room. There was a corridor along the wall, and a little further forward there was a long bridge that stretched out like a springboard. Now it seems to be distorted for some reason.

Although I don’t know what this room originally looked like, the shape and the remaining items immediately reminded me of an escape hatch. And it looks like this thing is quite small.

"How is the situation outside?" Ling's voice suddenly appeared in the spiritual contact.

Only then did I remember that I had not asked about their situation after putting the four of them away, so I quickly told Ling that everything was normal here, and then asked about their situation. Ling's answer reassured me, although several people were shocked. But the injuries were all minor, mainly because Jingjing's holy shield was relatively powerful, blocking more than 90% of the damage. In addition, the four of them were either angels or demons, and their physiques were not generally good, so they were not seriously injured.

After talking to Ling and the others, I suddenly remembered that I had sent Xiao Longnu to help Haier return to Duludu. I didn't know if he was back now, so I just wanted to contact him now. But as soon as I connected, I saw a huge head sticking out from above. It turns out that Xiao Longnu has arrived near me.

"Are you back yet?" I asked when I saw Xiao Longnu.

Xiao Longnu nodded, and then asked: "Who are those two things that just left? I saw something separated from Traveler City and ran over to see what was going on. I didn't expect you to come out."

"Did you see those two things break away?"

Xialong Nu nodded and said, "Otherwise I wouldn't have come here."

"Then hurry up and take me to catch up."

"No problem." After the little dragon girl said that, she leaned forward and grabbed me with her front paws, exited the huge room and swam in one direction.

The two underwater vehicles that escaped were obviously much faster than ordinary underwater vehicles. But it was still much slower than Xiao Longnu. It only took us a few minutes to catch up with those two things.

These two underwater aircraft are actually not as big as the room we saw before. They are only about the same length as that room, their width is not actually wide, and their height is also very small. However, the shape of this thing is quite flat, a bit like a whale shark, but flatter than the whale shark, and more slender in proportion.

The tail of this thing has two rows of upper and lower thrusters, a total of six propellers. I don’t know what principle it uses for propulsion, but I can’t see the propeller. And the noise is very small, but the speed is very fast. I don't really care about these prisoners. But after seeing this thing, I became more interested. The technical level of this thing is obviously much higher than that of Traveler City. Looking at the shape, it doesn’t seem to be the design style of Traveler City. I feel that the technology of this thing is a bit Atlantis style, but Atlantis There is no such fast thruster, so this thing is definitely not a product of Atlantis. At most, it has some origins.

After discovering the target, I didn't let Little Dragon Girl step forward, but directly summoned Lucky and Plague. Although giant dragons don't have gills, they can hold their breath and stay underwater for an hour or two without any problem. This is the result of just relying on their bodies. If they use magic to separate oxygen, theoretically, giant dragons can completely It never rises from the bottom of the water.

At such a close distance, the two dragons flapped their wings fiercely as soon as they appeared, jumped forward immediately, and then simultaneously grabbed the tail of the underwater aircraft in front. The reactions of the two aircraft after being caught were almost exactly the same. They both accelerated and floated up at the same time, but the two dragons were more ruthless. They used their claws to pull off the tails of the two aircraft with a click. Since the propellers are all at the tail, the aircraft without the tail immediately loses power. Even though it has a submarine-like water tank inside, it has lost its ability to float after the overall structure was destroyed, and it was caught by two dragons. Yes, even if there is a water tank, it may not float.

The two underwater aircraft, which had completely lost the ability to resist, were captured immediately and then dragged backwards back to Traveler City.

When we came back, the fighting in Traveler City had basically ended. All the resisters had either been killed or surrendered. The rest were not resisting, but were hiding. At least there were no more people who dared to stand up and resist. .

Because the control center was taken away, when we came back, we were able to directly use the large gate to return to the interior of Traveler City. After pouring out all the prisoners inside, the wreckage of the two aircraft was stuffed directly by me. Phoenix Dragon Space. Speaking of which, the Phoenix Dragon Space is really enough for you to fill. Other players’ space equipment is so full that they just stuff a large creature into it, and they are all guild-level team equipment, but our Wind Dragon Space has almost no space. Once full, the only bottleneck limiting its loading capacity is not the volume but the size of the entrance. Fortunately, this underwater vehicle is long in shape, so it is easy to stuff it in.

All the senior personnel here were handed over to the large force commander who came from Duludu. Then I ran to the command room and packed up all the technical information I had seen before. I didn't plan to take these things with me when I came here, but after seeing these two underwater vehicles, I thought there might be some clues in the information, so I packed them all up.

After I got what I wanted, I didn't stay in Traveler City for long. My mission was completed here. The rest is about the governor of Duludu and the resistance organization here, and has nothing to do with me. After I expressed my willingness to go back and hand in the mission with the commander, the other party enthusiastically called Haier and the three of them over, and then asked them to take me back to Duludu. When the consul saw me, he already knew the news that Traveler City had been captured. Apparently the commander had sent someone back to report the situation there before, so the consul knew the situation there in detail.

After simply handing over the task, I immediately received a notification indicating that the level 2,200 level task had been completed, which finally made me sigh in relief. I no longer have to worry about the twenty-level experience points disappearing. As for the mission reward given to me by the Archon, this is an additional gain, and it is a level mission in itself. So the rewards are not many, so I don’t care at all.

After completing the task handover, the Archon obviously attached great importance to my strength. He said a lot of good things to me and hoped that I could stay and help them continue their tasks. He also promised a lot of benefits, but I never thought about staying here. . What a joke. Even if the gross profit of the entire Duludu increased tenfold, it may not be able to catch up with the net profit of the Frost Rose Alliance. Why don't I leave the president of the Frost Rose Alliance to come here to work for them? I almost have water in my head.

With the Archon's extremely regretful expression, I left the Archon Palace and went to Duludu's technical department. This place stores a lot of Duludu's technical information, and one of my rewards for helping Duludu deal with Traveler City is that I can buy any of Duludu's technology here. Although you can't get it for free, it is already a very good thing as long as you can buy it. Advanced technology is different from products. As long as it’s a technology you don’t have and can understand. You won’t suffer any loss if you buy it. Although Duludu's technology cannot be compared with Atlantis, there are specializations in the industry, and each place has its own technical expertise. There is always something that can be learned from Duludu's technology.

Although Duludu's technical strength is not as good as Atlantis, the amount of technical information here is still scary. It took me a whole day to find the required technology from the huge amount of technical information. Not to mention, my previous guess was correct. Duludu does have good things, and it is also a very practical technology. Among them, one of the ultra-high pressure support technology is very awesome, because this technology is specially used for extreme deep diving. of. Although Atlantis is also an underwater nation, the depth is not very deep, so they are not outstanding in resisting water pressure, but Duludu has such technology.

In addition to the ultra-high pressure support technology that resists water pressure, I also found at least 30 large-scale technologies and as many as 200 small technical improvements on Duludu. These things were finally sold to me for a package price of 10 million crystals. I bought all the coins directly. In other guilds, this amount of money can send many presidents to the hospital directly for heart disease, but for our guild, this is really not a big investment, and if we research these technologies ourselves, the investment will be at least three times more than this amount. Ten times, if I buy it directly now, that is equivalent to a profit rate of thirty times. Only a fool would not do such a cost-effective business.

After getting the technical information, I didn't plan to stay here any longer. Although the leveling experience near Duludu is relatively high, it doesn't mean much to me. Although the players in our guild also need a place with high experience to level up, this place is too remote and the investment to go there is too huge. It is really not cost-effective. Even if the guild collectively comes forward to build a transnational teleportation array, it seems to be too wasteful.

Because I bought technical information worth 10 million crystal coins, the consul came to see me off when I left. After all, big customers like me are rare, so of course I have to be more enthusiastic if I can meet one. Reluctantly, I left Duludu under the over-enthusiastic farewell of these guys. I floated directly to the sea from here, and then flew towards Iceland. Now that the time-limited level mission has been completed, there is no rush for the remaining mission. Now I really want to go see the pastry chef that Wiki mentioned before. To be honest, this is the first time I have heard of this new profession. How can I do it without seeing it?
