Vol 21 Chapter 21: Create confusion

/ v>
"What's going on?" The sudden darkness plunged the entire Traveler City into chaos. m (Please use our Pinyin domain name to visit us.) Although most of the underwater races have good vision or other perception capabilities, they are all capabilities that can only be used in the water, just like the sonar positioning capability. Many sea creatures have it, but the interior of the Traveler City is an air environment, sonar is useless under such an environment. Besides that vision problem. Although some undersea races have evolved super visual abilities in response to the darkness of the sea floor, this vision should actually be called low-light vision, not dark vision.
My dark vision can see objects without restrictions without any light at all, but low-light vision still needs light to see things, but compared to ordinary vision, low-light vision only requires You can see things with a little light, which is still a lot stronger. However, Traveller City is an underwater city with a closed structure after all. The internal light comes from artificial light sources. Now all of the lighting equipment suddenly goes out, not to mention that there is not even a trace of light here now, even if the light is only slightly darker. Their low-light vision is also unlikely to work. After all, this sudden change from a very bright environment to a dark environment takes time to adapt, even if the pupil zooms in to collect light, it takes time. Besides, the Traveler's Town is really dark, even if the pupils are too big to receive any light, so the whole city is blind for a while.
"Soldier." While it was dark. I grabbed the guy who was just standing at the entrance of the aisle and then commanded sternly without waiting for the other party to respond: "You go down and see what is going on, maybe it's the good thing the idiot fishermen in the engine room did . "After speaking, no matter how the other party answered, I pushed him straight down the stairs. In my dark eyes, the guy directly became a gourd and rolled down the steps. However, after all, he is a soldier and has a good balance. He quickly stabilizes and regains his body. But he didn't come up after he got up, but continued to run down. Obviously I really want to see what happened.
After finishing the guard, I grabbed another guy and shouted at him: "Soldier, go and report to your head what's going on here, and let him strengthen the guard to prevent anyone from destroying it."
Although the black light is blind, nothing can be seen, but the sea beast guy saw me and Ariana before the light went out, and generally speaking, under such circumstances, if you dare to order in this tone, it is inevitable. They are all senior staff, so this guy didn't doubt my identity at all, and immediately rushed to the wall to report when he heard the order. The entrance here has become an unguarded channel.
After making sure the guards had gone away, I took out a small metal product directly from my body, and threw it down the stairs, and immediately pulled up Arona and left here.
The little thing I threw out along the ground bouncing down the stairs to the center of the staircase, and then suddenly burst out a large red flame, and then the flame gradually turned white and continued to spray, instantly It illuminates a large area around it.
With the emergence of this thing, a large group of members of the ambush Murloc resistance group immediately rushed down the stairs. The speed of these guys is very fast. As soon as they reach the upper level, they are scattered and run towards their predetermined goals. But at this time, I have already run to a stairwell that leads to a higher level.
The structure of Traveler City is like this. The bottom main structural layer is actually divided into two layers, which are mainly things like urban infrastructure, sports machinery, power systems, and production facilities. Starting from these two layers is an intermediate structural layer. This floor is large in area and not low in height, but it is divided into four floors, all of which are very narrow houses. This floor is the main living area of ​​the fishermen. Places belonging to the category of slums.
The part I just entered with Ariana was actually above the middle floor. This position should be regarded as the upper structure area, and the interior is divided into two layers, but it is different from the average division method of the middle and lower layers. The height of the two layers divided by the upper structure area is not the same, and the lower layer is the same. Occupying more than 80% of the total height, Ariana and I were just on this floor. The main function of this floor is still the living area, but the houses here are spacious and there are a lot of living facilities such as shops. The people who can live on this floor are basically the ruling class. Of course, there are also mermaids here, but they are limited to a small number of nobles.
The stairwell that Arna and I are entering is the passage to the upper area. The upper level is relatively low. The interior is mainly the various weapon areas, control rooms, and the mermaid and other rulers here. A racial office is equivalent to a command center.
Although the floor we just entered is also a residential area for senior personnel, it is only a residential area after all, so the guards are not very strict, but the upper floor is different. We only heard about footsteps when we were halfway up, and then we saw a few mermaids holding lighting equipment running down from behind them, followed by a large group of sea orc warriors.
The other party naturally found us after approaching us. Although the corridors and stairs between different levels of this city are wide and uncomfortable, they are not wide enough that two people can cross each other without discovering each other. However, I was still thinking about whether I was trying to get over the past or try to solve this group of people, but the other side shouted to us while running down, "Did you come to notify the problem of the energy line failure? Yes If you do, you do n’t need to go up, and the above line is also defective. ///.// "
As soon as I heard this, I immediately understood it, and immediately pretended to be very anxious and shook my head: "No, it is not a malfunction. It was deliberately destroyed by the fishermen's hard labor. They are rioting. I went to report it. "
"What?" The other party was also shocked to hear such a news. Then immediately said: "You go to report the situation first, don't delay." After he said, he shouted to the person he brought to him: "Hurry up, follow me, pretend to meet the mermaid. Let's fight against it. "
"Yes." The Beast Warrior in the back promised and started to run down, and then the whole team ran past us, but we were left alone.
Seeing that those stupid people had just passed by, Ariana covered her mouth and grinned. Then they followed me and started to run up.
The team we just saw in the middle of the stairs is obviously not a guard. It should be a team that has found a problem to investigate the situation. And immediately after we reached the top of the stairs, we met the guard here.
There are more than a dozen people guarding the passage, half of them are sea beasts, and the rest are mermaids. Since the big army just went down, we must have been in contact with the big army in terms of time, so the guards above saw that we did not respond, but just asked us what was happening now.
Look at just a dozen people here, and there are only four portable magic lights, the light source is very bad. I immediately pretended to yell at them as I ran towards them: "Hurry ... Mermaid below ... Mermaid riot!"
"What?" The guard here was obviously taken aback by the news. Although Murloc's combat effectiveness and technical strength are the worst in the race of the Traveler City, there are not many people who can't stand it. More than 70% of the population in the entire Traveler City are mermaids. Such a large proportion, even if half of them riot, can still have an absolute quantitative advantage. Even if the races like the mermaids and sea beasts above consider themselves very powerful, they also understand that if half of the other people dare to stand up and fight hard, even if they can suppress them, they will definitely have heavy casualties afterwards. What's more, the Murlocs are labor in Traveler City. If they die too much, the impact on these upper races will be huge. This is as if some powerful and so-called big people despise the workers, but if one day the workers of the whole country suddenly die, can you say that those people can remain indifferent? Without low-level workers, these big men must become low-level workers. After all, if you have the right to have money and have to eat, the peasants are all dead, and you do n’t want to starve to plant your own land. The reason is simple.
It is precisely because those mermaids and other ruler races know that the mermaid is both an object of oppression and a wealth to them, so they are so afraid of the mermaid riot, because no matter whether the final riot is successful, they will inevitably lose. Who would be willing to happen to such an absolute loss?
Just when the guys were surprised by my news, I had already walked the last few steps to reach them, and then, when they gathered around to want to know some specific conditions, I suddenly moved.
Alas, a cross of white light flashed over, and the crowd around them suddenly stopped, and then all fell to the ground without any warning, even the body was divided into several pieces and scattered to the ground.
I regained eternity lightly, and jumped carefully to avoid the blood on the ground. Ariana went around the opposite long before I shot, but this time she jumped again.
After killing the guards, we went straight down the passage and met a T-junction. Because the top floor is only a command and military zone, the floor is not high and the passages are not too wide. We walked over from this side and saw a door suddenly opened in the area on the left, and then a mermaid in armor came out of it. When the other person saw us, he directly asked, "What kind of job are you doing, how did you get here?"
When I heard him, I did n’t answer at all. Instead, I threw a flying knife and threw it in the past. What was unexpected was that the other side hid his head as far as possible, but after he stood up, I had already reached him, left He took his shoulders and pulled his body up along his strength, and at the same time, the right-handed blade claws popped out, aimed at his stomach, and came straight.
Immediately after opening three holes in this guy's stomach, his body softened. I pushed forward slightly, and the guy immediately fell backwards. However, just as he fell, I suddenly heard a strange breathing sound on the left side, and turned my head to startle me. The door on our left, which was just the guy who just came out, is still open, which means that the two of us actually stood at the door and had a life-to-death struggle, but the problem was that the door was not empty. It was a huge space like the auditorium, and it was full of people, all looking at us stupidly.
Even that moment I was a little shocked, because I actually killed one of them in front of thousands of people. This behavior is a bit too arrogant. What makes me even stranger is that so many people are gathered here. Actually, no sound or energy fluctuation came out, but the last sound I heard was someone who got out of the room and made a sound of inhalation before I heard it. At that moment I thought of the reason. Eighty percent of the rooms in this auditorium are similar to conference rooms. There must be a magic array to prevent detection, so the sound and energy in it could not be transmitted at all, so that I didn't find so many people standing beside myself.
Although I was negligent, the other side was also stunned by the sudden change, so I took a look at both sides for a while, and then we reacted almost at the same time, but the performance of the two sides was much worse.
The people in the room suddenly fell into a collective rage. Then he jumped straight up and swarmed towards the gate, and the guy standing at the door, who was going to go out, suddenly became embarrassed and went to touch the sabre hanging on his waist, but I was better than him Much faster. When he reached out and touched the sword, I suddenly raised my leg and kicked him directly into the room. Then I dragged two large liquefied magic crystal steam bombs from the wind dragon space to unscrew the insurance, and threw it directly Then turn around and run.
I ran less than ten meters here and heard a boom behind, followed by a large number of flames spewing out of the door, fortunately, because the direction of the door and the corridor was not the same. The power of the rushing air stream and the flames turned down a lot, otherwise I might suffer.
"Master, someone is coming up here!" My side just escaped the explosion, and suddenly came forward and heard Arana's voice. She had just stood at the T-junction and hadn't come over. Now she shouted so clearly that someone came up from below. If I'm guessing well, these eight people are the team of soldiers we saw before.
At this time, I was not interested in hacking with that group of people, and threw a liquefied magic crystal steam bomb directly to Ariana. "Throw it down."
Asana reacted quickly, after catching the liquefied magic crystal steam bomb, she twisted the fuse and pulled the explosion lock and threw it into the stairwell. Then she started to run back, and there was a boom outside within two seconds. , The flame rushed up with a heat wave.
By the time Ariana got back up, I had already run over, and she started to run forward. We've been to one side of the T-shaped fork and lost the bomb. The other side is the direction we came from, and the rest is only one direction. Going along this passage, before seeing how far, two soldiers of the sea beast race ran over. When the other person saw us, he asked, "What happened?"
To this question, I directly pointed to the direction where we came from, together with Aona, pretending to be injured, and the other side was obviously anxious. I rushed to it without waiting for us to answer, but they passed by. When we were by my side, Ariana and I shot one by one and solved the two silly big men.
After the passage turns a bend, there is a long forward passage ahead, but there are many forks on the right side of the passage. I originally encountered resistance groups, and I expected to get some information from them. As a result, I learned that they didn't come at all from the superstructure, so they didn't know much about me. Without maps and route information, we can only find our own way. Unfortunately, we are almost out of luck, and the first selected fork turns into a place similar to the Tunbing. A large group of soldiers rushed out directly. Although I still had a liquefied magic crystal steam bomb, the other side was quite sturdy. Even if many people were killed, the rest still rushed out.
We didn't come up to fight against these guys, but we wanted to find the command center, so when I saw this, I took three decisive vapor bombs and threw them out, then turned and ran. With the sound of a boom, the channel in front was scrapped, and the chase behind could not pass for a while even if it was not dead, but the road in front of us didn't seem to be too easy, because we had seen a large group of sea beast warriors from The front passage turned around.
"I depend, why are there so many?"
"This is a military zone. It's normal to have a large crowd. Master."
"But would you keep the army's garrison by the battleship command room?"
"But this is not a battleship!"
Ariana's words suddenly made me want to understand one thing. That's what we seem to be wrong.
We don't know where the traveler's command center is, because all who can come in are the rulers, and the rulers are vested interests. They cannot join the resistance organization. Therefore, although the resistance group cooperated with us, it could not provide the above map. Because there is no map, we have been moving in the direction we want. Traveler City is huge though. But it's dynamic and it's a mechanical system in the water. So I take it for granted as a ship, or a battleship. According to the design idea of ​​the battleship, the command room is not in the bow but in the center of the ship. We have seen the appearance of Traveler City outside of Traveler City before. There is nothing prominent like a bridge on top of it, so if the command room is in the central position, then it cannot see the route directly, so I always thought that the command center was in the bow of Traveler City. It is for this reason that Arana and I have been heading towards the bow since they came up. As a result, more and more troops were encountered, which was obviously abnormal.
Now I finally understand that something is wrong with my thinking. Traveler's Town cannot be simply regarded as a battleship. Although it also has the ability to move and is indeed an underwater machine, the biggest difference between it and large ships is speed.
After all, Traveler City is a city, and its movement speed is only equivalent to the speed of normal people jogging. And its steering angle is very large, and there is almost no concept of flexible maneuvering. Because its speed is so slow, it does not need a position at the bow that can observe the surrounding environment at any time and adjust its movement attitude. Command room, for it. Even if the command room is completely closed, as long as there are observers in the observation room around the hull, and then report back the information they see by any method, it is sufficient to support the determination of the navigation attitude of the Traveler City.
It is for this reason that the Traveler City does not need to design the command room near the bow. On the contrary, if the need for observation is ruled out, it is actually safer to bury the important part of the command room in the core. After all, The bow means that there is no way to protect it with more things, and there is not so much worry in the center of the hull.
Based on this idea, I now finally understand where my mistake is.
"It seems we need to try another direction."
"Then let's go back to the stairs where we came up first?"
"Before that, we had better grab our tongue and ask the situation."
In view of our huge difference in force, the task of grasping the tongue is not complicated. I simply caught two mermaid captives, and then briefly interrogated and got the answer I needed.
Traveler City really put the command room inside, and the location is quite speechless. For a long time, this command room is not actually in the top control zone and military zone, but on the top of the higher residential area on the lower floor.
The entire command center is located within the scope of the residential area, but it is not on the ground, but is suspended from the ceiling of the high-level residential area, and its entrance is also in the central position of the military area.
According to the captive's account, we quickly got the road map, and then started to follow the route. There were indeed many people blocking it along the way, but it was only because the following Murloc riots finally changed from small-scale behavior to collective riots, so The mermaids above and other leader races were also busy, and as a result, the personnel in the upper military zone were dispatched below to suppress the riots, and the guards on the top were much less.
"If the information given by the two captives is correct, the end of the corridor in front should be the command center, right?" Asked Alna.
I nodded and said, "No matter from time to time, there are so many important departments around this place, and they won't be short of themselves. They will not be busy killing people when they go in. Those senior captives will pay attention to keeping them. We also expect them to help control Where is Traveler City. "
Azana nodded to understand that I started to move on.
Turning around the corner of the corridor, a relatively wide corridor immediately appeared, and at the end of the corridor was a closed door, and eight guards stood at the door. The eight guarding races are divided into four, two pairs, of which there are of course mermaids and sea beasts. These two races seem to be the main fighting races here. In addition, there are two races in the guard that have not been seen before. One of them is a lot taller than humans, with a height of at least two and a half meters, a relatively long face, and very large eyes, just like a fly, occupying more than two-thirds of the face, and the skin of these guys It's blue, and there are only four fingers instead of no fingers.
In addition to this blue giant, there is a race on the scene that looks no different from humans but has a turtle shell. I remember that there were turtles in the undersea race, so these two are probably this race.
Unlike the guards they encountered before, the eight guys across were obviously equipped with long-range firepower. As soon as we saw our heads, we saw several blue dots flying over, scaring me to quickly shrink back, and then heard a rapid gurgling sound, and then we found that the wall on the corner of the corridor was inserted. A row of at least a dozen blue crystal rods. These crystal gangs are as slender as chopsticks, the color is dim blue, and the length cannot be seen because some parts are inserted into the wall, but the outer part is about seven or eight inches long, and the part in the wall is estimated to be one or two inches If calculated in this way, this thing is almost a foot long.
"Is this a crossbow?" Ariana asked me, looking at something on the wall.
I nodded, and then stretched out one of them to play on one of them. I didn't expect that the thing would break when I touched it, and immediately followed by a burst of fire, and I and Aona took off immediately. I did not expect that the weapon of the opponent would explode. Fortunately, my defense was high enough. Such a few things couldn't handle me, otherwise, I would really want to capsize in the gutter.
I used to take Ariana for camouflage. Now that I have finally entered the battle, I don't need to camouflage anything. I directly asked Emmys to revoke my camouflage illusion, and at the same time recovered Arona in exchange for Jingjing and Victoria.
After standing at the corner of the channel again ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I started to count down to three two one with my gestures. When the count reached one, Jingjing immediately flashed out holding the shield. Since the eight guys opposite can be responsible for guarding such an important place in the command center, they are naturally masters. Jingjing just flashed out, and a row of crystal arrows flew across immediately. Different from hitting the wall nail before, the crystal arrow exploded immediately after hitting Jingjing's shield this time, but Jingjing's specialty is defense, even if the explosion happened on the surface of the shield, it did not cause any harm to her except the shock wave. Letting her body shake a little more than two times had no effect.
Immediately after Jingjing blocked a round of attack, Victoria and I flashed behind Jingjing together, and then started to advance slowly with Jingjing. The other guards saw that we actually stood up against the attack, and immediately it was a more intensive attack, but Jingjing's shield was blocking the front. Here is a straight passage, lacking a shooting angle, so their The attack was useless except to hurt our ears with the sound of an explosion.
Since it is a long-range weapon, it must consume something. After a continuous attack of more than ten seconds, the opponent really has a pause. This is no ammunition. Our tacit cooperation was extremely good. As soon as the attack stopped, Jingjing immediately crouched down and gave up the shield to get out of the upper half of the passage. Then Victoria and I began to fight back at almost the same time, holding up their respective crossbows. (To be continued) RQ
