Ember Gun

  Chapter 559 Broken Glacier

The hanging tower moved slowly, lifting Ascalon’s barrel, reluctantly transferred to a suitable position, and finally put it on the cabin, using it as a support to turn Ascalon into a fixed artillery. As for how many times it can fire, no one knows.

  The number of fires of this giant gun has far exceeded the design expectations, and no one knows when it will reach its end of life.

After the deafening shelling, the semi-melted metal carried the scorching heat and swallowed the narwhal. Hot steam rose on the entire sea, and the rust-stained hull was instantly burned red, even inside. The flesh and blood also turned to ashes.

   A faint roar came from the wind, as if the narwhal was wailing.

The cold sea breeze made Hybold tremble a bit, but the utter coldness also made his consciousness very clear. When he raised his head, only a quarter of the sky had become brighter, but the storm was too big and black. The cumulus cloud is engulfed by it, as if to drag the world back into the darkness.

With the Blood Shark blocking the front, the pressure on the Chenhui Advance was much less. The number of invading demons was not that many, but most of them crawled in along the broken walls of the hull, marching in the hull, making the soldiers It is difficult to effectively block.

Fortunately, most important areas were blocked. Under Lorenzo's instructions, the soldiers simply gave up the encirclement and suppression of these monsters and allowed them to crawl inside the ship. For Lorenzo, these monsters were not. The problem, the biggest trouble is the sea snake. The damage to the hull is not an important factor. As long as the key areas are protected, the Chenhui Advance can maintain the lowest operating intensity.

  Under this strategy, the pressure on the soldiers is much less, and more power is freed up to be deployed elsewhere.

   "Hold the deck!"

  Hybod shouted loudly. Before the irritability of the wind and waves, his voice was instantly swallowed and covered. He didn't know how many people could hear his own voice, but this was what Haibod could do.

The   Thermite rifle kept firing, and shot down the demons one by one, ensuring that the deck was still under control.

  Not far from Haibod, the tall black angel was bound by the cable, standing steadily in the torrential rain.

  A few minutes ago, Lorenzo logged in to the black angel, the engine roared, and the flesh and blood of the demon was also revived, and even the iron feathers were undulating slightly. If you get close enough, you can feel the temperature from the armor body.

  This is a weird illusion, it is not clear whether this is steel or a bloodthirsty creature.

  Hibald rubbed his eyes, threw off the cold rain, and looked at the Blood Shark in the distance. It had already faced the narwhal directly, and held the enemy on the behalf of Chenhui Advance.

Located in the high-level command room, Notal's face was stiff, his hands clenched the rudder wheel tightly, listening to the voice in his mind, trying his best to control the Chenhui Advance to keep it amidst the monstrous waves. stability.

  With the attack of monsters, the command room was inevitably reduced to a battlefield. Fortunately, there were not many monsters, and they were basically cleaned up. After Shanghai Bode took control of the deck, it became safe for a while.

  Notar can no longer hold it up, he can see more detailed and clear pictures at a high place, he can see the weird people who are making waves and wailing, and he can also see the slowly approaching ship.

  The storm is like a dark iron curtain, advancing slowly, pressing on Nottal's chest, the closer it gets, the heavier it gets, until it makes it hard for him to breathe.

  Notar was conscious before he set off. He took part in this voyage with the will to die, but when death really came and faced the boundless despair, Notar realized his ridiculousness.

  How to test a person’s true value.

  Let him face death and see the choices he makes.

Notar has already made his choice. He wants to go home. He wants to say goodbye to this **** sea. He really wants to back down, let go of the heavy steering wheel, and hide in an empty corner. .

  A light rose, illuminating Notar's face, attracting his eyes.

  It was a blazing light.

Notar saw the Blood Shark ahead. Below the surface of the Blood Shark, a blazing white light rose up, reflecting the surrounding sea water, as if there was a burning sun in the deep sea. rising.

"what is this?"

  He murmured and asked, but no one answered his question. It was also at this moment that a new round of restlessness began.

Everyone can clearly feel that as the white light rises from the bottom of the sea, a louder and more distorted whisper sounded in the ear, as if hundreds of ghosts were whispering, the sound became louder and almost overwhelmed. The frantic wind and waves even evolved into a harsh roar.

For a moment Nottal’s ears were left with this restless sound. He covered his ears in pain. It was also at this moment that he saw Seleu running towards him, and the girl was also enduring the crazy murmur. , She opened her mouth, as if shouting something to Notar.

  The sharp pain caused Notar to perceive the danger coming.

  The glass on the side of the command room suddenly shattered, and the broken glass melted Nottal's cheeks, and the demon spit out the stench of blood and rushed toward his face.

In this chaotic battlefield, there is no safe place, even if Hybald tries to control it so hard, there are still demons sneaking in in the shadows. With the rise of white light, countless demons have already clung to the command room. Around.

【dying. 】

  The thought of death flew through Notar's mind. For a moment, he was not very scared, but felt a sense of relief.

  Nottal can finally get rid of this endless nightmare, although he looks like a coward, but this escape seems to be a good ending.

   Just like this... die.

The burning thermite bomb hit the demon, interrupting its trajectory, and the hot metal penetrated its body. It waved its claws, trying to cut the surrounding things, but quickly smashed sharply. The knife pierced its throat violently and pulled it apart again.

The bones were broken, the warm blood poured out, the demon was not dead yet, and the crooked head was still trying to bite. As a result, the barrel of the thermal rifle was directly pierced into its mouth, and the trigger was pulled, and the hot projectile continued to burn. It burned deeply, and even burned its chest into a ball of scorched black.

  Seleu kicked away the burning corpse, and Clough, who followed him, reloaded the thermal rifle.

  She seemed to be talking about something, but Notar couldn't hear him, his mind was completely captured by madness, and every minute and every second was suffering for him.

   "Notar!"

  The voice suddenly became clear.

   Selenium forcefully injected a Florund potion into Notar's body. As the potion spread, the frantic whisper faded a lot, but he could still tell its existence in the ear.

  Nottal gasped, and was dragged up by Clough who had caught up.

   "Return to your post, Captain Notar."

   Seleuc shouted in his ear.

  Nottal looked at the blood-stained girl blankly. Hearing what she said, he realized that his hand had released the rudder.

  He raised his hand and listened to Seleu's words. When he was about to grasp the steering wheel, more shadows enveloped the command room.

  One after another demons clung to the surroundings. They peeped at the people in the cabin, showing their greedy fangs.

   "Demon...Demon!"

  Nottal exclaimed, he had no courage to face this, but Seleu kicked him and made him lean forward and grab the rudder.

  "Just hold on to it! Let us take the rest!"

  Seleu said, waving the jackknife and cutting off the arms that reached the command room.

  Craft followed behind Seleu. He held the aluminum thermal rifle and fired continuously. One after another, the fiery stream of fire accurately hit the incoming monsters and drove them out of the command room.

  Galon was holding a cane in one hand and a pocket knife in the other. He protected Frocky in the corner and slashed any monsters who dared to approach here fiercely.

The outside world also kept gunshots. As the white light rose, the monsters' desire to offensive became more intense. From a height, one could find that the line of defense on the deck had begun to rout, and the monsters went up one by one. Chung, endless, as if it could not be killed at all.

   "Hell!"

  Nottal growled in sorrow, he began to hate all this, holding the rudder with trembling hands, but he had no strength to turn it.

  Seleu wrestled with the demons while observing Notar from the corner of his sight.

At Lorenzo’s order, Seleu was ordered to stay here to take care of Notar. In Notar’s current state, he should be replaced, but unfortunately, during the naval battle, he was replaced. His people were either injured or dead. The only remaining first officer was not much better. When the soldiers came to his room, they heard bloodthirsty gasps through the hatch.

  In short, Notar is still very important now, and no one can replace his position for the time being.

  The command room is also extremely critical. It cannot be defeated.

  The soldiers fought on the periphery of the command room, but there were still some monsters who broke through their encirclement and attacked inside.

They were greeted by a few people's counterattacks. The jackknife and the aluminum heat bombs all came together. With his early experience and his agile pace, Seleu didn't have to worry too much for a while, but Nottal's mind was worrying. .

  Under the test of death, Notar's mind was shaking. Perhaps what he feared was not the threat of death, but the long torture before death.

   "Notar! Glacier!"

  Seleu saw something, she yelled at Notar.

The dark night was dissipated by the rising day, and the light illuminated the sea and the road ahead. Countless broken ice floes smashed on the body of the Chenhui Advance ship along with the rush of the sea. With this deeper and deeper, the volume of ice is getting bigger and bigger, and a glacier fragment that is approaching the Chenhui Advance is quickly approaching.

  In the deeper part of the Jiehai Sea is the sea area covered by ice, covered with solid glaciers, and the collision angle of the Chenhui Advance is to break the ice.

   "Turn!"

   Garon also yelled at this time, as this continues, the glacier fragments will directly hit the side of the ship, causing heavy damage to the ship.

"me…"

  Nottal held the rudder tremblingly, and for a moment he felt that it was not he was holding the rudder, but the rudder grabbed him.

  Seleuc’s shout, Garon’s urging, Clough’s growl, and...and those chaotic whispers.

  The monsters are all around, only a few meters away from him, and now Notar can’t wailing, nor crying to hide, he has to stand here, controlling the steering wheel.

  The broken ice hit one after another, they knocked over the demons rolling in the sea, the blood stained the cold, like a huge ruby.

  The face of the demon slammed on the glass in front of him, so close and so clear, Notar felt that he almost had to cry and escape, but the duties on his body made him unable to step away.

  A pocket knife penetrated the body of the demon, along with the glass, the blood dripped along the gap, splashed on Notar's body, attached to the surface of the skin, and brought warm temperature.

   is the soldiers, they came nearby, slashing and shooting, driving the monster out of the command room area.

  They were as frightened as Notar, but in order to protect the command room, they still fought recklessly.

  Notar's heart was a little surging, perhaps the only courage was inspiring, he gritted his teeth and turned the rudder wheel.

"for…"

  Nottal wanted to shout some slogan, but he couldn't say anything when the words came to his lips.

  Looking at his hands in horror, Notar had tried his best to twist the rudder wheel, but no matter how hard he tried, the rudder wheel seemed to be welded, and it didn't move.

  As if the courage finally mentioned is still false, he was swallowed by fear, trying to weave lies to deceive himself.

"carefully!"

Seleu warned Notar that their power was limited after all. Under such a strong attack, a demon broke through the line of defense. It was covered in blood and broken limbs, but still stubbornly crawled towards Notar and waved. Raise the claws.

  The flesh and blood bloomed with red lines under the sharp claws. Notar watched his arms soar into the air, and the whole person began to lean back, but this time Notar finally lifted his strength and shook the rudder wheel.

  At the moment before falling, Notar turned the rudder abruptly, and even the entire Chenhui Advance was caught in a violent turbulence.

  There was a blank in his mind, and only the monsters that kept approaching were left in his field of vision.

  Notar felt that maybe he was really going to die, his heart was very calm, there was no wave at all.

  He wanted to sleep peacefully, but was awakened by the girl's voice.

   "Stand up, Notar! You are not dead yet!"

Seleu pushed the jackknife and penetrated the demon’s neck with precision. The demon tried to fight back, but most of its limbs were cut off during the battle with the soldiers. There were several huge blood holes in the body. Spouting blood.

   Raising the pistol, Seleu shot one after another at the heart of the demon until it stopped moving.

Killed the last monster, the command room was back under control again, and then the violent turbulence appeared again. The shattered glacier passed by the Chenhui Advance, and its edge rubbed against the hull and brought it up. There was a crash of metal.

   "Hold on! Notar!"

  Seleu dragged Notar's body while constantly calling his name.

  Clough was cleaning up other corpses, and Garon also clenched his pocket knife, guarding against potential threats, and in the corner behind him, Frocky seemed to be quiet, no longer making those weird babbles.

   "Notar! You will be fine!"

  Seleu put Notal flat on the side, she tore off a corner of the coat with a folding knife, and tightly wrapped cloth around the broken limbs to stop Notal's bleeding.

  Notar’s mind could no longer support the pressure of the sea of ​​silence. After being cut off by an arm by the demon, his body began to gradually become cold due to the loss of blood, and his consciousness became muddled.

"sorry Sorry."

  He shook his head and spoke to Seleu apologetically.
