Chapter 590 Veteran
At the end of the deep and dark maintenance passage is a shell-like gate, but in front of the gate are two Kraken sentries with weapons in their hands. Hao Ren hid behind several pipes and looked up at the guards in the distance: "I thought they wouldn't let us pass...and they don't look like the kind of siren puppets that have lost the ability to think."
Hasselblad carefully took out the hand crossbow: "It looks like we have to fight. I am sure that I will kill them instantly and there won't be much movement."
Shakeela quickly stopped the other party: "Wait a minute!"
"We must take action," Hasu seemed to have misunderstood what Shakira meant. "These sirens have been controlled, and now they are enemies."
"I'm not talking about this. If you kill them here, they will soon be resurrected elsewhere in the palace area, and they will attract a large group of guards." Shakira waved her hands slightly, "If you are not fully prepared, you must kill them completely." It is very, very difficult to kill a sea monster, which requires complicated sealing rituals."
Lily tugged at her ears: "Aww... So why do you have to evolve so unbelievably?"
However, Shakira's word "seal" reminded Hao Ren. He quickly observed the surrounding environment and waved his hands to indicate that he had a solution: "You guys should step back a little. Shakira can make some noise." Are they attracted to each other?"
Shakeela didn't know why, but she still nodded. After the others retreated a distance, she opened her mouth in the direction of the two sentries. No one heard any sound, but the two sea monsters became alert at the same time. After looking at each other, they twisted their bodies and swam towards the corner where Hao Ren was hiding.
As the distance got closer, Hao Ren's body tensed up. When the two siren sentries were less than five meters away from Hao Ren, they clearly sensed the stranger's aura from the water. Their expressions changed slightly at the same time, and then they raised their tridents high!
Hao Ren jumped out at this moment, his body as fast and powerful as a loosened spring. This startled the two siren sentries. When they reacted, they had already been caught by the tail, and then they heard With a "swish" sound, the two sea monsters disappeared.
Hao Ren clapped his hands, opened his mouth and spit out a string of bubbles: "Done."
Shakeela was stunned: "Where did you throw them?"
"Pocket space," Hao Ren shrugged, "Now they are fighting two mechanical tentacle monsters, oh, they have been tied up..."
Shakira: "Huh?"
Nangong Wuyue looked at Hao Ren's hand with a strange expression: "Wait a minute, why do I feel that your technique just now is a bit familiar?"
Hao Ren chuckled: "Nonsense, this is how I usually drag you back when you are crawling around the house."
Everyone: "..."
Vivian patted Hao Ren on the shoulder: "Let's go quickly. I'm afraid that brain monster will soon feel that it is missing two chess pieces. It will send people to investigate. We'd better leave this place immediately."
The group of people quickly swam towards the gate. This time they finally got lucky: the gate was not locked. Shakeela and Soma operated several levers next to the gate. The shell-like The door slid aside with a string of bubbles.
Hao Ren swam ahead. After crossing the gate, he was shocked: "I'm going...you guys, look!"
I saw that there was a fan-shaped hall behind the gate. In the center of the hall, a spherical luminous body like a super giant pearl was quietly suspended. Under the illumination of this luminous body, you could see neatly placed items around the hall. There are many rectangular platforms, and on each platform lies a "person" quietly. Their skin is gray and lifeless, wearing old and tattered World War II military uniforms, and their chests are inlaid with strange gray-blue crystals...
Astonishingly, they were those World War II Allied soldiers known as "Water Skeletons"!
Vivian was the first to follow Hao Ren after hearing Hao Ren's exclamation. She was shocked when she saw the situation in front of her: "Water bones? Are they charging here?"
"It seems that this resonance chamber is where their crystals are charged," Hasselblad pointed to the gray-blue crystals on the chests of the dead. Those crystals complemented the luminous sphere in the center of the hall, changing light and dark in an obvious pattern. "These corpses seem to be asleep at the moment."
Elizabeth looked at the luminous ball curiously. There was a mysterious rune platform underneath. The little girl couldn't walk when she saw it. She swam over with a small screwdriver, and just as she was about to poke it, she was picked up by someone and pulled up: "I told you not to touch things here!"
Elizabeth was dragged by Hao Ren and danced in the air: "Uncle Ren, there is something embedded here! There is something embedded here!"
Only then did everyone see that there was a large piece of crystal inlaid in the center of the rune platform under the luminous ball. The crystal looked a little familiar. Bai Huo touched his chin and thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered where he had seen this thing: "It looks like the shape is the same as the crystals inlaid on the weapons by the Kraken overseers?"
With Bai Huo's reminder, others remembered that when they saw those Kraken supervisors outside the city before, they were holding strange weapons in their hands. The weapons were shaped like halberds, and the most eye-catching thing was the two curved blades at the tip. It is equipped with a large piece of sapphire-like material, which makes it more like a staff than a fighting weapon. And only the siren supervisors responsible for commanding the "water skeletons" carry this gem. Those sirens who monitor the alien slaves use ordinary halberds.
The crystal in front of me is almost identical in shape and color to the sapphire. Even the rune patterns on the surface are similar, but the volume is many times larger. Vivian suddenly thought about what this was for: "Is this thing controlling these undead? Is it a master controller?"
Upon hearing this, Shakeela immediately reached out to the crystal: "Then it must be destroyed!"
Nangong Wuyue stopped for a moment: "Don't worry, what if this isn't a controller? What if it's an alarm?"
Shakira immediately hesitated, and Hao Ren pulled her hand away when he saw this: "Wait a minute, let the data terminal scan what this is..."
As a result, before he finished speaking, his finger accidentally touched the corner of the crystal. As a result, in full view of everyone, the surface of the crystal was quickly covered with cracks, and then silently turned into a puddle of debris.
Hao Ren was dumbfounded: "Wait... I didn't do anything!"
Vivian was also dumbfounded for a while, and then slapped her forehead: "It's because of your incompetent demon-breaking physique back then!"
"I'll choke you," Hao Ren suddenly felt that his life had been challenged by fate again, "Who am I to do this...Wait a minute, they are moving!"
After the "Master Control Crystal" shattered, it did not trigger any alarm, but it produced an even more unexpected result: with a strange sound like a wind chime, the sleeping water skeletons around the hall stood up one by one. stand up!
This scene was horrifying. Countless World War II undead who looked like zombies got up one after another, adjusted their balance with stiff postures, checked their own status in confusion, and then turned their sights neatly to Hao Ren. A pair of shriveled and deformed eyes stared at him alone. The white hair on Hao Ren's head was sweating non-stop - he actually felt sweat on his forehead even when he was soaking in the water. How big do you think this must be? pioneering.
Of course, Hao Ren was not afraid of zombies, he just felt that the atmosphere was too scary!
Lily and "Gun" got furry at the same time, one with his tail between his legs and the other with his waist bowed and stepped back. Others were also on guard. Only the heartless Doudou happily swam out to say hello to the zombie uncles, but was stopped by Nangong Wuyue. Dragging it back by its tail. Hao Ren looked at these World War II heroes who were shaking their bodies with a strange expression on his face, and awkwardly raised his hand to say hello: "Ahem, what's that? We don't mean any harm... We want to help you get out of control."
He greeted people in English, French, and Russian. Hasselblad was very surprised: "I didn't realize you were quite versatile."
Hao Ren shrugged and didn't answer. Instead, he looked at the World War II soldier closest to him: a Soviet submarine commander wearing an officer's uniform: "I'm sorry to disturb you. We were passing by and saw you being magically I was troubled and couldn’t rest in peace, so I just wanted to help, but I didn’t expect that there seemed to be something wrong with the operation steps.”
The Allied officer tilted his head slightly, as if he was trying to revive his stiff brain. Then he looked down at the gray-blue gem on his chest, and suddenly raised his arms high, as if cheering silently.
Hao Ren: "?"
