I take skeletons to the apocalypse
Chapter 101
Because of the current, the entire hull began to tilt towards the sea shark.Xia Xi immediately summoned all the skeletons, supported the boat from the bottom, and took it to the sky.
It may not look like a big ship, but it weighs more than a thousand tons, which is much heavier than that truck plus dozens of people.Xia Xi just used the skeleton to hold the boat, and almost used up all his abilities.
Fortunately, Gu Ming responded in a timely manner and immediately took Xia Xi off the deck. He is a speed-type supernatural being, and it took only a few seconds for Xia Xi to appear at the door of the main control room.
The team members who were driving the boat saw Gu Ming, Wei Wei seemed to have seen a savior, and shouted helplessly: "Brother Gu, what kind of monster is this, we can't beat it, right?"
"What are you panicking about, start flying the wings first." Gu Ming ordered, "Are you going to let Mr. Black Crow's skeleton hold a thousand-ton transport ship all the time?"
"Oh, yes." The driver came back to his senses and pressed a button with a pattern of wings.
Following the prompt of [opening the flying wings].The side panels on both sides of the ship were opened upwards, and two huge mechanical wings protruded out flat. Below was the wind resistance formed by the wind system ability, which firmly supported the weight of the ship.
A countdown timer appeared on the control panel of the cockpit, showing that the power spar currently stored on the ship is enough to support the flying wings for 10 minutes.
There is no way, the weight of the ship is too large, every minute, every second is a huge consumption.
With the flying wings, Xia Xi's pressure was reduced a lot for a while, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief and thought about the next step.He left a few skeletons and artificial humans with wind abilities, gathered under the flying wings, to help increase wind resistance, reduce energy consumption, and increase flight time.The rest withdrew to the deck.
"Crack!" The sea shark was not reconciled to the escape of its prey, rushed out of the water under the support of the sea water, and bit the bow of the ship.A row of holes were bitten out of the bow of the ship immediately, like a sparrow whose head was bitten by a snake, no matter how much it fluttered its wings, it could not escape to ascend to heaven.
Sea water poured into the cabin.
【Alarm, the bow of the ship is being attacked!The current damage level is 15%]
The violent vibration made it hard to ignore. Other people on the boat ran out of the room one after another, asking each other:
"what happened?"
"It hit a rock, and the ship sank?"
"Why are we flying again?" They couldn't see what was happening outside, they could only see the separated sea surface under their feet, the huge black shadow, and the overwhelming sea water.
The tail of the sea shark slapped on the water surface, the current rolled up and up, the glass was shattered by the current, and the sea water poured into the cabin.The hull shook violently, and the sea water seemed to swallow everything up.
Gu Ming saw from the surveillance that someone almost fell out of the boat from the window, so he immediately turned on the radio and announced loudly:
"Passengers, we have encountered a powerful mutated sea creature. Please follow the signs and go to the escape cabin at the bottom of the ship to wait for all those without abilities on board."
"Attention all crew members, immediately lead the guests to the escape cabin at the bottom of the ship and stand by."
He gave two orders in succession, and the people on the boat finally found their way, supported each other, pulled each other, and rushed towards the direction of the escape cabin.
[Warning, the bow of the ship is being attacked!The current damage level is 25%.When the bow damage exceeds 50%, it will not be able to continue sailing. 】
The shaking of the ship became more violent, and several people in the control room had to use seat belts to fix themselves on their seats, otherwise they would be thrown off their seats.
The artificial man turned on the magnetic attraction function on his body, and it was firmly attached to the ground, with a steady pace and would not stagger.
Xia Xi gave the artificial man an order to rescue those who hadn't entered the escape cabin. He left the cab with the remaining skeletons and rushed towards the bow that was bitten by the shark.
Jing Lan came earlier than him.When she felt the vibration and realized the danger, Jing Lan rushed to the deck immediately to look for Xia Xi.But Xia Xi had already been taken to the control room by Gu Ming at that time, and the two did not meet each other.
When Xia Xi rushed to the deck again, Jing Lan was attacking the sea shark with the ability of corrosion, trying to let it let go of the hull.But the fifth-level sea shark is inherently resistant to the fourth-level corrosion ability, and it will also summon sea water to hedge against the energy of the corrosion ability.Jing Lan's attack can only slow down the attack speed, and cannot cause substantial damage to the sea shark, let alone save the hull from the shark's mouth.
Shahi took a more direct attack method. He ordered the skeletons to point their weapons directly at the shark's teeth, trying to break the teeth that were biting the hull.
The painful shark was irritated, instead of letting go, it slapped its tail heavily, rolling up the monstrous water waves, and completely engulfing the boat in the sea water.Under the control of the sea shark, the water waves rolled towards the ship. The ship that had just left the water was instantly enveloped by the overwhelming current, and the wings on both sides were damaged to varying degrees.
The boundary between the sea and the sky became extremely blurred at this time.The waves surged up a hundred meters against gravity, and a huge shark protruded half of its body from it, biting the ship tightly.
The ship was not as big as the shark's mouth, and the deck was severely caved in by the bite. The wings of the two wings were spread out. With the help of wind resistance, the ship was trying to adjust its direction and fly upwards to prevent itself from being dragged into the sea by the shark.
The figures of Xia Xi and Jing Lan were swaying on the bow of the boat, compared to the sharks, they seemed to be two insignificant shrimps.Although their abilities are considered top-notch among humans, they are completely unable to pose a fatal threat to the sharks in front of them.
They kept trying to attack the shark, and Xia Xi even tried sending a skeleton into the shark's belly to assassinate him.As a result, the skeleton was bitten to pieces by the shark and swallowed into the stomach, causing Xia Xi to lose a skeleton in vain.
Time passed minute by minute in the stalemate.The deck was torn and deformed even more, the degree of damage and energy consumption were both critical.
In just ten minutes of fighting, Xia Xi almost overdrawn his and the skeleton's abilities to the limit.
Perhaps it was because his body was too exhausted that he rarely felt a sense of slack.Human beings are really insignificant in front of the forces of nature.
"It's still too late to abandon the ship and escape. I have more skeletons than the people here, and the artificial man also has its own flying device. It's enough to fly with you." Xia Xi, who has turned into a silver skull, has two purple balls in his eyes The will-o'-the-wisp became weaker and weaker, as if it was about to go out at any moment.
"But now at sea, with the obsession with the sea shark, I'm afraid it will keep chasing after we run away. Flying a little lower, it may be caught by him as food. The front and back are endless, and I don't know how long it will take to reach the shore. .Even if my ability can last for such a long time, I will encounter other flying mutant creatures, insect swarms, and birds on the road. We are basically living targets in flight. If we want to fight, we need to increase the consumption of abilities, and the success rate of escape in the end And the death rate is roughly evenly divided."
"I won't let you have trouble." Jing Lan used his supernatural power to corrode a broken ship plank that was thrown towards him, and said to Xia Xi through gritted teeth.He was also at the end of his strength at this time, without the support of the skeleton, Jing Lan, who could not fly, wasted a lot of physical strength, even struggling to stand still, but still stubbornly guarded Xia Xi's side,
Xia Xi moved her teeth, as if smiling: "Of course I'll be fine, I'm a necromancer. Even if I'm eaten by a shark, I can still live... But with a lot of digested rotten fish and shrimp I'd rather die than live in the belly of a shark."
Necromancer?Jing Lan's heart twitched slightly.
Isn't it a skeleton power user?Xia Xi's skeleton shape and the ability to control the skeleton are indeed somewhat similar to the necromancer in the Western Fantasy story.
So is Xia Xi joking, or is he really a necromancer once?Does this confirm that he really came here from another world?Maybe that's why he has the special skeleton ability.
It's a pity that the current situation does not allow Jing Lan to think carefully, and the shark's offensive became fierce again.
After more than ten minutes, the prey in front of him was not dealt with, only a piece of bone with teeth was eaten, the shark was also aroused fiercely, it flicked its tail, and the whole shark jumped out of the sea.
Xia Xi flew into the air with the help of the skeleton hand, and finally saw the whole picture of the shark.This shark is [-] meters long, dark gray all over, only a small piece of white remains on the abdomen, the body is covered with a huge shield, the surface is solid, and the edges are as sharp as a blade.
The shark swooped down towards Xia Xi, opening and closing its sharp teeth, about to swallow him into its stomach.
Xia Xi was about to retreat, but found that the sea water behind him had condensed into a thick wall of water, which knocked him into the shark's mouth instead.
In the blink of an eye, Jing Lan climbed the water waves and rushed towards Xia Xi, wrapping his arms around Xia Xi's waist all the way, and pulling him into his arms forcefully.At the same time, a transparent glass box was thrown at the shark.
A butterfly wakes up from a glass box that shatters on a shark's tooth.Before they could fly off, they were rushed into the belly of the shark by the turbulent current.
"That's..." The waves blocked his view, and Xia Xi didn't see what Jing Lan threw.
"Sample S02." Jing Lan grinned maliciously, staring at the shark and said.
"Oh!" A picture suddenly appeared in Xia Xi's mind.
He saw Jing Lan in front of him summon a corrosive ability, melting him into a puddle of thick water bit by bit.
The pain is so real.On the contrary, Xia Xi was convinced that he was in a hallucination.After all, he is now in a skeleton state and has no pain at all.
Xu Shi and Huandie were far away, and Xia Xi quickly got rid of the interference of the illusion.Looking at himself again, he was still tightly hugged by Jing Lan, and the two of them fell on the deck together.The shark not far away has completely lost consciousness.
It no longer attacked the ships floating in the sky, but fell heavily back into the sea, rolling painfully on the surface of the sea, rolling up the waves uncontrollably, wrapping itself in it, like a fish being cooked alive.
Xia Xi looked at Jing Lan, Jing Lan's eyes were clear at this time, as if he was not disturbed by the illusion just now, seeing Xia Xixi coming over, he said comfortingly: "Don't worry, the magic butterfly is also level five, even if it is swallowed by a sea shark, It should last for a while."
The transport ship ran out of energy and landed in tatters on a sea far away from the sharks.
Everyone at the bottom of the boat climbed out of the rescue cabin, all in a trance.
Some people even asked in a daze: "Am I not dead? I clearly saw that our boat and people were swallowed by sharks?"
Xia Xi had no choice but to explain that Jing Lan used the Styx Magic Butterfly to deal with the sharks just now, and they should have been affected.
"How can it be affected so far away?" Shiyin was stunned, looking at the churning, boiling sea in the distance, and the crazy shark, he couldn't help showing a bit of pity in his eyes: "It's really worthy of being an S-rank sample."
Gu Ming looked at the damaged ship with lingering fear. The degree of damage had exceeded 50.00%. If Xia Xi hadn't supported it with a skeleton, the ship might have sunk into the sea by now.
"The ship is so damaged, I will definitely be scolded to death when I go back to Songqiao. But I survived at last."
He greeted the crew, counted supplies, repaired the ship, tidied up the cabin, and prepared to bypass the sea shark and return to the island as soon as possible.
Xia Xi stopped him: "Don't rush away. This shark has already swam to this sea area. Keeping it alive is a threat to the island. It will not be safe to go to land every time in the future."
Gu Ming looked up from his busy schedule, and asked inexplicably, "You mean..."
Jing Lan said gloomyly: "Take advantage of his illness and kill him."
Xia Xi moved his bones and joints: "We don't have the next Phantom Butterfly to create such a good opportunity. The supernatural spar on the sea shark's body, which is close to the sixth level, and the scale turtle meat, can almost make up for the damage caused. loss."
Although the angles are different, they have exactly the same meaning.
Gu Ming swallowed his saliva, admiring the courage of the two of them very much, they just walked around the ghost gate a few times, and they dared to go up.
But they were right.
Escaping won't solve the problem. Keeping this shark is a huge threat to the base on the island.If it is not eradicated, every subsequent sailing will be more dangerous than this one.
Moreover, the mutated creatures themselves possessed considerable intelligence.If the shark hadn't died, he would definitely hold his grudge.After that, I am afraid that I will never die with them.
"What do you want me to do?" Gu Ming asked.
"Repair the boat first, and wait for me to come back." After finishing speaking, Xia Xi took the skeleton and prepared to set off.
"I'm with you." Jing Lan snatched a flying device from the artificial man and set off with Xia Xi.
They came to the sky above the sea where the shark was.At this time, the shark seemed to have consumed too much power, and could no longer afford to make too much water.
They controlled the distance, they didn't get too close, and they could feel the influence of the magic butterfly's illusion.But the effect was very weak, like a few incoherent images like flashes of thought.As long as the will is a little concentrated, it will not be affected.
They waited a while longer, and the shark was completely quiet, as if asleep.No matter how close you are, you can't see any illusions.
Jing Lan: "Phantom Butterfly's mental attack is a passive skill. Even Huandie itself can't stop it. As long as it gets close, it will be affected. Now that the effect disappears, it means that Huandie should have been completely swallowed and absorbed by the shark."
Xia Xi couldn't help but also heaved a sigh of relief.The influence of the Styx Phantom Butterfly is too dangerous, so it's good to disappear like this.
Xia Xi sensed for a moment: "The shark's supernatural spar should be near the tip of the nose. The Styx Phantom Butterfly's location is probably in the abdomen."
"Okay." Jing Lan mobilized a large number of corrosion abilities, piercing the tip of the shark's nose like a spear.And out from the abdomen through the body.
This time, the shark didn't seem to be able to perceive it, and it didn't have the slightest dodge resistance, allowing it to attack with supernatural powers.
Blood surged out, and soon dyed most of the sea red.Xia Xi sent the skeleton down to dig inward along the shark's injured position, and soon found the sea shark's power spar and the corpse of the Styx phantom butterfly, and took them out.
The fifth-level power spar in the shark's body is still only the size of a goose egg, which is similar to the third-level power spar, but the whole body is transparent sea blue, reflecting the brilliance of gems under the sunlight.
The power spar was taken out, and the shark completely lost its breath.
As for the Styx Phantom Butterfly, this time it really became a specimen.As an insect-like mutant creature, it has not been used for a complete power spar. There is only a five-level power fragment the size of a fingernail in its body. The color of the fragment is similar to the color of its wings. It is unpredictable and dreamlike.
Xia Xi put the butterfly specimens and the supernatural spar in a box and put them away, and then called Gu Ming to come and pull the shark corpse.
The dilapidated transport ship dragged the huge sea shark carcass with difficulty, and its speed dropped by half.Fortunately, with the deterrence of the dead sea shark, no mutated marine life dared to step forward to provoke them. The crowd walked for ten hours in peace before finally arriving at the pier of the island where the light-chasing base was located.
As usual, it was warmly welcomed by the members of the island, and the number of people was twice as large as last time.Xia Xi couldn't handle such an occasion.Get off the boat and run away.Grabbing Gu Ming and letting him lead the way, he ran back to his own room.
This time, the room Chaomo prepared for him was much bigger than the previous one in the school dormitory.It is an independent two-storey building.There are seven or eight rooms inside.There is also a storage room that is not small, and it is not too crowded to put fifty androids in it.
The room belonging to Xia Xi kept the previous layout, and his luggage and clothes were also neatly stored.The familiar environment made Xia Xi feel tired in an instant.Xia Xi wanted to sleep comfortably on the bed, forget the many conspiracies in Jingting City, the mysteries of the research institute, and the crises in the last days.
He didn't think about why Jing Yue's body was lying in the sample room of the cultivation base.Don't worry about how to deal with the doctor's next actions.Don't worry about how to deal with Jing Lan's unclear feelings.
Just fell asleep like this, and didn't care about anything.
Seems to know his tiredness.Chao Mo was not in a hurry to bother him, and no one else, including Jing Lan, came to bother him.Let Xia Xi sleep for a day and a night.
Xia Xi was awakened by the sweet smell of cake.
He walked out in a daze following the aroma, rubbed his sleepy eyes and came to the kitchen, only to see an all-too-familiar figure turning around.
I saw that Jing Lan was wearing the couple home clothes she bought with him, with an apron on her chest, and she was taking out the freshly baked cake embryos from the oven, ready to decorate them with cream.
Hearing the sound of his footsteps behind the door, Jing Lan raised her head and frowned, "Are you awake? Go wash your hands, the cake will be ready soon."
Xia Xi blinked her eyes, not sure whether she was awake or still dreaming, otherwise, why did this scene look so much like going back to before the end of the world?
He mechanically washed his hands in the bathroom next to him, dried them and sat down at the dining table.Looking at the layout similar to the apartment in Beishan, he vaguely remembered that the appearance here seemed to be different from when he first arrived a day ago.
Before he could figure it out, Jing Lan handed him another cup of hot milk.
"Drink some milk first to cushion your stomach."
Xia Xi picked up the milk and took a sip. The temperature was neither hot nor cold, and the taste was a little sweet.
He came back to his senses, pointed at the surrounding furnishings, and asked Jing Lan, "You made all of these?"
But sleeping for a while is like magic.
Jing Lan: "Before I left, I ordered some furniture according to our previous residence, and this time I came back, it was all ready. I found someone to move it here while you were sleeping."
"You want to live here too?" Xia Xi looked Jing Lan up and down with critical eyes, as if he was dissatisfied with his trespassing on his territory.
"There are not enough houses. Others are afraid of me and don't want to live with me." Jing Lan's tone was serious, not like talking nonsense at all: "Are you willing to take me in?"
Xia Xi frowned, he didn't believe a word.Maybe there are not enough houses for hundreds of people to live on such a big island?Maybe Chaomo won't reserve a room for Jing Lan?This guy must be lying.But maybe the taste of the cake is too tempting.Or maybe the familiar scene in front of him reminded him of some nostalgia for the past, and he couldn't utter the words to drive people away.
"Anything. The guest rooms are all empty, you just pick one to live in."
So the single dormitory becomes a double dormitory.
After eating the cake, Xia Xi finally changed into a clean cloak and met Chaomo.
Chaomo's house is next door to Xia Xi's, and it's also a two-story building. The upper floor is used as a lounge, and the lower floor is used for office, meeting guests, and meetings.
When Xia Xi came, he was asking Song Qiao about the repair status of the transport ship.Seeing Xia Xi, he put down what he was doing and signaled Song Qiao to talk about it later.
Chao Mo still wears glasses, showing a bit of cynicism in his gentleness.
As soon as they met, they gave Xia Xi a big hug with Jing Lan's murderous eyes, and said, "I specially prepared a grand welcome ceremony for you, but you ran away without seeing anyone when you got off the boat."
Xia Xi laughed: "It's a good thing I ran away. My scalp is numb just hearing the word "welcome ceremony."
Chaomo let go of Xia Xi with a smile, motioned him to sit, and sat on the chair next to him: "I heard Gu Ming say everything about the road, and I asked the captive sea slugs to identify the sea sharks. It was indeed the one who ate them That one. Thanks to you, otherwise there might be a big accident in the future voyage.”
Speaking of this battle, Xia Xi still felt a little emotional: "The sea shark is indeed upgrading too fast. If it takes a few more days, I'm afraid it will reach level six. At that time, we are afraid that if we meet face to face, the whole army will be wiped out."
Chao Mo: "There are a lot of good materials on the sea shark. The shield can be used to make armor and armor, and the teeth can be used to make weapons. The meat has also been tested and is non-toxic. It can be stored as food. This high-level The mutated biological meat also contains some energy residues, eating it is very nourishing for the body."
Xia Xi was hungry when she heard that, she turned to Jing Lan and said, "Shall we eat grilled fish tonight?"
Jing Lan responded with a smile.
Chaomo then talked to Xia Xi about the progress of the clover antidote. The production of clover was not made by Zhuguang’s family, but in cooperation with several shelters on the road. Zhuguang was only responsible for providing the original solution and ingredients, and several large shelters undertook the production and The task of transportation, including the shelter in Lanshu City that Xia Xi had taken before.
Chaomo said that after the destruction of the chosen stronghold, Lanshu Shelter has developed fairly well. Now it has a scale of tens of 10 people, and various supporting facilities have been re-established. The look of desolation in the parking lot.
Chaomo provided antidote stock solution and formula to these shelters, but did not ask for material rewards. He only made one request to these shelters, that is, when they provide the antidote to other shelters, the selling price of the antidote should not be higher than twice the cost.
Hearing that the Clover matter had been properly resolved, Xia Xi also felt a burst of relief.He is not a saint, but he doesn't want to see the tragedy of the clover on the road in autumn again.
After talking about the clover, Chaomo said again: "I've already asked Shi Yin about the situation in Jingting City. I didn't expect you to bring back S-level samples and artificial humans in addition to the clover. The doctor's progress is really beyond my expectations. Okay. Now that we have samples and intelligence, we will not be too passive."
Xia Xi: "I also found it by accident when I was looking for Clover. I always feel that the doctor is planning some big conspiracy. It's hard to feel at ease if I don't find out."
Xia Xi took out the only remaining sample of symbiotic mushroom spores, and related information: "This is sample S03. Its ability is to form an energy network, so that everyone who eats the spores can gain each other's power enhancement, enhance power and Various resistances. I heard that there is also a symbiotic mushroom body corresponding to it, and people who eat the body can absorb the energy of these spores in turn. The previous five-level mutant spider was urged out in this way."
"The doctor made this thing into a new medicine, and deceived more than 100 high-level officials in Jingting City to take it, as well as 1000 members of the expedition team, who also took the new medicine. He originally wanted to use these people to continue to distribute [-] new medicines go out.
"However, before I left, I had already announced the negative effects of this mushroom. The institute's plan this time should not succeed."
"That's not necessarily the case." Chao Mo shook his head, thinking that although Xia Xi was smart and keen, she was always naive in her views on human nature.
"Even if you know that it will become the mother's ability supply pool, it is estimated that many people will still take the medicine willingly."
"Why is that?" Xia Xi was puzzled.
Chaomo: "In the last days, you have to take risks to live. Relatively speaking, symbiosis can greatly reduce the external survival risks, but it only increases the risk from the mother alone. It is a very cost-effective deal. By giving new medicines to more people, more people can share the risk."
"I think most people who have already taken the medicine, even if they know the effect of the new medicine, will still hide it and persuade more people to take the medicine."
This was not the result Xia Xi expected, but he also agreed with Chaomo's analysis.
The lives of others are chosen by themselves, and Xia Xi has no intention of interfering.If they know the truth and insist on taking medicine, that is their freedom.Xia Xi just couldn't understand why these people still had such trust in the doctor.Obviously this person has already disregarded human life without concealing it.
If it were me, as long as he knew that the mushroom mother body was in the hands of the doctor, he would not take it even if he could immediately become a great undead mage after taking the medicine.
After talking about S03, Xia Xi mentioned S02 again: "The sample of S02 is Styx Phantom Butterfly, a fifth-level mutant insect of the mental attack type. It was used when dealing with sea sharks."
When Xia Xi talked about Huan Die, his expression was not very good-looking. When he thought of the function of this thing and Jing Lan's previous experience, he felt very repelled.
"I know." Chao Mo said and subconsciously glanced at Jing Lan: "In my previous life, I also found relevant clues about the Styx Phantom Butterfly. If I hadn't died and been brought into the research institute, I might be able to experience it for myself. its power."
"In addition, the two S-level samples you brought back are of the type that can accelerate the improvement of abilities. With the addition of artificial humans, I suspect that the doctor's real purpose is to use these things to mass-produce high-level crystals and create a very powerful artificial human team."
"It's possible." Xia Xi nodded in agreement.
Chao Mo added: "Huan Die's body has been sent to the research room, and Jing Yue's team is in charge of dissecting it. Psychic attacks are extremely rare. Maybe we can get some clues from it."
"Well. Then..." Xia Xi raised his head suddenly in the middle of speaking: "Jing Yue?"
"That's right, Jing Yue." Chaomo thought Xia Xi was surprised because he knew that Jing Yue was a researcher, and explained with a smile, "It's Jing Lan's little uncle. You should have had contact with him before, right? He was a researcher before the end of the world." , I heard that he is engaged in subjects related to biomechanics, and he is very talented in this area. He is also very interested in the artificial man you brought back this time, so he specifically told me to discuss it with you, and would like to ask you to lend him one. Come do your research."
It may not look like a big ship, but it weighs more than a thousand tons, which is much heavier than that truck plus dozens of people.Xia Xi just used the skeleton to hold the boat, and almost used up all his abilities.
Fortunately, Gu Ming responded in a timely manner and immediately took Xia Xi off the deck. He is a speed-type supernatural being, and it took only a few seconds for Xia Xi to appear at the door of the main control room.
The team members who were driving the boat saw Gu Ming, Wei Wei seemed to have seen a savior, and shouted helplessly: "Brother Gu, what kind of monster is this, we can't beat it, right?"
"What are you panicking about, start flying the wings first." Gu Ming ordered, "Are you going to let Mr. Black Crow's skeleton hold a thousand-ton transport ship all the time?"
"Oh, yes." The driver came back to his senses and pressed a button with a pattern of wings.
Following the prompt of [opening the flying wings].The side panels on both sides of the ship were opened upwards, and two huge mechanical wings protruded out flat. Below was the wind resistance formed by the wind system ability, which firmly supported the weight of the ship.
A countdown timer appeared on the control panel of the cockpit, showing that the power spar currently stored on the ship is enough to support the flying wings for 10 minutes.
There is no way, the weight of the ship is too large, every minute, every second is a huge consumption.
With the flying wings, Xia Xi's pressure was reduced a lot for a while, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief and thought about the next step.He left a few skeletons and artificial humans with wind abilities, gathered under the flying wings, to help increase wind resistance, reduce energy consumption, and increase flight time.The rest withdrew to the deck.
"Crack!" The sea shark was not reconciled to the escape of its prey, rushed out of the water under the support of the sea water, and bit the bow of the ship.A row of holes were bitten out of the bow of the ship immediately, like a sparrow whose head was bitten by a snake, no matter how much it fluttered its wings, it could not escape to ascend to heaven.
Sea water poured into the cabin.
【Alarm, the bow of the ship is being attacked!The current damage level is 15%]
The violent vibration made it hard to ignore. Other people on the boat ran out of the room one after another, asking each other:
"what happened?"
"It hit a rock, and the ship sank?"
"Why are we flying again?" They couldn't see what was happening outside, they could only see the separated sea surface under their feet, the huge black shadow, and the overwhelming sea water.
The tail of the sea shark slapped on the water surface, the current rolled up and up, the glass was shattered by the current, and the sea water poured into the cabin.The hull shook violently, and the sea water seemed to swallow everything up.
Gu Ming saw from the surveillance that someone almost fell out of the boat from the window, so he immediately turned on the radio and announced loudly:
"Passengers, we have encountered a powerful mutated sea creature. Please follow the signs and go to the escape cabin at the bottom of the ship to wait for all those without abilities on board."
"Attention all crew members, immediately lead the guests to the escape cabin at the bottom of the ship and stand by."
He gave two orders in succession, and the people on the boat finally found their way, supported each other, pulled each other, and rushed towards the direction of the escape cabin.
[Warning, the bow of the ship is being attacked!The current damage level is 25%.When the bow damage exceeds 50%, it will not be able to continue sailing. 】
The shaking of the ship became more violent, and several people in the control room had to use seat belts to fix themselves on their seats, otherwise they would be thrown off their seats.
The artificial man turned on the magnetic attraction function on his body, and it was firmly attached to the ground, with a steady pace and would not stagger.
Xia Xi gave the artificial man an order to rescue those who hadn't entered the escape cabin. He left the cab with the remaining skeletons and rushed towards the bow that was bitten by the shark.
Jing Lan came earlier than him.When she felt the vibration and realized the danger, Jing Lan rushed to the deck immediately to look for Xia Xi.But Xia Xi had already been taken to the control room by Gu Ming at that time, and the two did not meet each other.
When Xia Xi rushed to the deck again, Jing Lan was attacking the sea shark with the ability of corrosion, trying to let it let go of the hull.But the fifth-level sea shark is inherently resistant to the fourth-level corrosion ability, and it will also summon sea water to hedge against the energy of the corrosion ability.Jing Lan's attack can only slow down the attack speed, and cannot cause substantial damage to the sea shark, let alone save the hull from the shark's mouth.
Shahi took a more direct attack method. He ordered the skeletons to point their weapons directly at the shark's teeth, trying to break the teeth that were biting the hull.
The painful shark was irritated, instead of letting go, it slapped its tail heavily, rolling up the monstrous water waves, and completely engulfing the boat in the sea water.Under the control of the sea shark, the water waves rolled towards the ship. The ship that had just left the water was instantly enveloped by the overwhelming current, and the wings on both sides were damaged to varying degrees.
The boundary between the sea and the sky became extremely blurred at this time.The waves surged up a hundred meters against gravity, and a huge shark protruded half of its body from it, biting the ship tightly.
The ship was not as big as the shark's mouth, and the deck was severely caved in by the bite. The wings of the two wings were spread out. With the help of wind resistance, the ship was trying to adjust its direction and fly upwards to prevent itself from being dragged into the sea by the shark.
The figures of Xia Xi and Jing Lan were swaying on the bow of the boat, compared to the sharks, they seemed to be two insignificant shrimps.Although their abilities are considered top-notch among humans, they are completely unable to pose a fatal threat to the sharks in front of them.
They kept trying to attack the shark, and Xia Xi even tried sending a skeleton into the shark's belly to assassinate him.As a result, the skeleton was bitten to pieces by the shark and swallowed into the stomach, causing Xia Xi to lose a skeleton in vain.
Time passed minute by minute in the stalemate.The deck was torn and deformed even more, the degree of damage and energy consumption were both critical.
In just ten minutes of fighting, Xia Xi almost overdrawn his and the skeleton's abilities to the limit.
Perhaps it was because his body was too exhausted that he rarely felt a sense of slack.Human beings are really insignificant in front of the forces of nature.
"It's still too late to abandon the ship and escape. I have more skeletons than the people here, and the artificial man also has its own flying device. It's enough to fly with you." Xia Xi, who has turned into a silver skull, has two purple balls in his eyes The will-o'-the-wisp became weaker and weaker, as if it was about to go out at any moment.
"But now at sea, with the obsession with the sea shark, I'm afraid it will keep chasing after we run away. Flying a little lower, it may be caught by him as food. The front and back are endless, and I don't know how long it will take to reach the shore. .Even if my ability can last for such a long time, I will encounter other flying mutant creatures, insect swarms, and birds on the road. We are basically living targets in flight. If we want to fight, we need to increase the consumption of abilities, and the success rate of escape in the end And the death rate is roughly evenly divided."
"I won't let you have trouble." Jing Lan used his supernatural power to corrode a broken ship plank that was thrown towards him, and said to Xia Xi through gritted teeth.He was also at the end of his strength at this time, without the support of the skeleton, Jing Lan, who could not fly, wasted a lot of physical strength, even struggling to stand still, but still stubbornly guarded Xia Xi's side,
Xia Xi moved her teeth, as if smiling: "Of course I'll be fine, I'm a necromancer. Even if I'm eaten by a shark, I can still live... But with a lot of digested rotten fish and shrimp I'd rather die than live in the belly of a shark."
Necromancer?Jing Lan's heart twitched slightly.
Isn't it a skeleton power user?Xia Xi's skeleton shape and the ability to control the skeleton are indeed somewhat similar to the necromancer in the Western Fantasy story.
So is Xia Xi joking, or is he really a necromancer once?Does this confirm that he really came here from another world?Maybe that's why he has the special skeleton ability.
It's a pity that the current situation does not allow Jing Lan to think carefully, and the shark's offensive became fierce again.
After more than ten minutes, the prey in front of him was not dealt with, only a piece of bone with teeth was eaten, the shark was also aroused fiercely, it flicked its tail, and the whole shark jumped out of the sea.
Xia Xi flew into the air with the help of the skeleton hand, and finally saw the whole picture of the shark.This shark is [-] meters long, dark gray all over, only a small piece of white remains on the abdomen, the body is covered with a huge shield, the surface is solid, and the edges are as sharp as a blade.
The shark swooped down towards Xia Xi, opening and closing its sharp teeth, about to swallow him into its stomach.
Xia Xi was about to retreat, but found that the sea water behind him had condensed into a thick wall of water, which knocked him into the shark's mouth instead.
In the blink of an eye, Jing Lan climbed the water waves and rushed towards Xia Xi, wrapping his arms around Xia Xi's waist all the way, and pulling him into his arms forcefully.At the same time, a transparent glass box was thrown at the shark.
A butterfly wakes up from a glass box that shatters on a shark's tooth.Before they could fly off, they were rushed into the belly of the shark by the turbulent current.
"That's..." The waves blocked his view, and Xia Xi didn't see what Jing Lan threw.
"Sample S02." Jing Lan grinned maliciously, staring at the shark and said.
"Oh!" A picture suddenly appeared in Xia Xi's mind.
He saw Jing Lan in front of him summon a corrosive ability, melting him into a puddle of thick water bit by bit.
The pain is so real.On the contrary, Xia Xi was convinced that he was in a hallucination.After all, he is now in a skeleton state and has no pain at all.
Xu Shi and Huandie were far away, and Xia Xi quickly got rid of the interference of the illusion.Looking at himself again, he was still tightly hugged by Jing Lan, and the two of them fell on the deck together.The shark not far away has completely lost consciousness.
It no longer attacked the ships floating in the sky, but fell heavily back into the sea, rolling painfully on the surface of the sea, rolling up the waves uncontrollably, wrapping itself in it, like a fish being cooked alive.
Xia Xi looked at Jing Lan, Jing Lan's eyes were clear at this time, as if he was not disturbed by the illusion just now, seeing Xia Xixi coming over, he said comfortingly: "Don't worry, the magic butterfly is also level five, even if it is swallowed by a sea shark, It should last for a while."
The transport ship ran out of energy and landed in tatters on a sea far away from the sharks.
Everyone at the bottom of the boat climbed out of the rescue cabin, all in a trance.
Some people even asked in a daze: "Am I not dead? I clearly saw that our boat and people were swallowed by sharks?"
Xia Xi had no choice but to explain that Jing Lan used the Styx Magic Butterfly to deal with the sharks just now, and they should have been affected.
"How can it be affected so far away?" Shiyin was stunned, looking at the churning, boiling sea in the distance, and the crazy shark, he couldn't help showing a bit of pity in his eyes: "It's really worthy of being an S-rank sample."
Gu Ming looked at the damaged ship with lingering fear. The degree of damage had exceeded 50.00%. If Xia Xi hadn't supported it with a skeleton, the ship might have sunk into the sea by now.
"The ship is so damaged, I will definitely be scolded to death when I go back to Songqiao. But I survived at last."
He greeted the crew, counted supplies, repaired the ship, tidied up the cabin, and prepared to bypass the sea shark and return to the island as soon as possible.
Xia Xi stopped him: "Don't rush away. This shark has already swam to this sea area. Keeping it alive is a threat to the island. It will not be safe to go to land every time in the future."
Gu Ming looked up from his busy schedule, and asked inexplicably, "You mean..."
Jing Lan said gloomyly: "Take advantage of his illness and kill him."
Xia Xi moved his bones and joints: "We don't have the next Phantom Butterfly to create such a good opportunity. The supernatural spar on the sea shark's body, which is close to the sixth level, and the scale turtle meat, can almost make up for the damage caused. loss."
Although the angles are different, they have exactly the same meaning.
Gu Ming swallowed his saliva, admiring the courage of the two of them very much, they just walked around the ghost gate a few times, and they dared to go up.
But they were right.
Escaping won't solve the problem. Keeping this shark is a huge threat to the base on the island.If it is not eradicated, every subsequent sailing will be more dangerous than this one.
Moreover, the mutated creatures themselves possessed considerable intelligence.If the shark hadn't died, he would definitely hold his grudge.After that, I am afraid that I will never die with them.
"What do you want me to do?" Gu Ming asked.
"Repair the boat first, and wait for me to come back." After finishing speaking, Xia Xi took the skeleton and prepared to set off.
"I'm with you." Jing Lan snatched a flying device from the artificial man and set off with Xia Xi.
They came to the sky above the sea where the shark was.At this time, the shark seemed to have consumed too much power, and could no longer afford to make too much water.
They controlled the distance, they didn't get too close, and they could feel the influence of the magic butterfly's illusion.But the effect was very weak, like a few incoherent images like flashes of thought.As long as the will is a little concentrated, it will not be affected.
They waited a while longer, and the shark was completely quiet, as if asleep.No matter how close you are, you can't see any illusions.
Jing Lan: "Phantom Butterfly's mental attack is a passive skill. Even Huandie itself can't stop it. As long as it gets close, it will be affected. Now that the effect disappears, it means that Huandie should have been completely swallowed and absorbed by the shark."
Xia Xi couldn't help but also heaved a sigh of relief.The influence of the Styx Phantom Butterfly is too dangerous, so it's good to disappear like this.
Xia Xi sensed for a moment: "The shark's supernatural spar should be near the tip of the nose. The Styx Phantom Butterfly's location is probably in the abdomen."
"Okay." Jing Lan mobilized a large number of corrosion abilities, piercing the tip of the shark's nose like a spear.And out from the abdomen through the body.
This time, the shark didn't seem to be able to perceive it, and it didn't have the slightest dodge resistance, allowing it to attack with supernatural powers.
Blood surged out, and soon dyed most of the sea red.Xia Xi sent the skeleton down to dig inward along the shark's injured position, and soon found the sea shark's power spar and the corpse of the Styx phantom butterfly, and took them out.
The fifth-level power spar in the shark's body is still only the size of a goose egg, which is similar to the third-level power spar, but the whole body is transparent sea blue, reflecting the brilliance of gems under the sunlight.
The power spar was taken out, and the shark completely lost its breath.
As for the Styx Phantom Butterfly, this time it really became a specimen.As an insect-like mutant creature, it has not been used for a complete power spar. There is only a five-level power fragment the size of a fingernail in its body. The color of the fragment is similar to the color of its wings. It is unpredictable and dreamlike.
Xia Xi put the butterfly specimens and the supernatural spar in a box and put them away, and then called Gu Ming to come and pull the shark corpse.
The dilapidated transport ship dragged the huge sea shark carcass with difficulty, and its speed dropped by half.Fortunately, with the deterrence of the dead sea shark, no mutated marine life dared to step forward to provoke them. The crowd walked for ten hours in peace before finally arriving at the pier of the island where the light-chasing base was located.
As usual, it was warmly welcomed by the members of the island, and the number of people was twice as large as last time.Xia Xi couldn't handle such an occasion.Get off the boat and run away.Grabbing Gu Ming and letting him lead the way, he ran back to his own room.
This time, the room Chaomo prepared for him was much bigger than the previous one in the school dormitory.It is an independent two-storey building.There are seven or eight rooms inside.There is also a storage room that is not small, and it is not too crowded to put fifty androids in it.
The room belonging to Xia Xi kept the previous layout, and his luggage and clothes were also neatly stored.The familiar environment made Xia Xi feel tired in an instant.Xia Xi wanted to sleep comfortably on the bed, forget the many conspiracies in Jingting City, the mysteries of the research institute, and the crises in the last days.
He didn't think about why Jing Yue's body was lying in the sample room of the cultivation base.Don't worry about how to deal with the doctor's next actions.Don't worry about how to deal with Jing Lan's unclear feelings.
Just fell asleep like this, and didn't care about anything.
Seems to know his tiredness.Chao Mo was not in a hurry to bother him, and no one else, including Jing Lan, came to bother him.Let Xia Xi sleep for a day and a night.
Xia Xi was awakened by the sweet smell of cake.
He walked out in a daze following the aroma, rubbed his sleepy eyes and came to the kitchen, only to see an all-too-familiar figure turning around.
I saw that Jing Lan was wearing the couple home clothes she bought with him, with an apron on her chest, and she was taking out the freshly baked cake embryos from the oven, ready to decorate them with cream.
Hearing the sound of his footsteps behind the door, Jing Lan raised her head and frowned, "Are you awake? Go wash your hands, the cake will be ready soon."
Xia Xi blinked her eyes, not sure whether she was awake or still dreaming, otherwise, why did this scene look so much like going back to before the end of the world?
He mechanically washed his hands in the bathroom next to him, dried them and sat down at the dining table.Looking at the layout similar to the apartment in Beishan, he vaguely remembered that the appearance here seemed to be different from when he first arrived a day ago.
Before he could figure it out, Jing Lan handed him another cup of hot milk.
"Drink some milk first to cushion your stomach."
Xia Xi picked up the milk and took a sip. The temperature was neither hot nor cold, and the taste was a little sweet.
He came back to his senses, pointed at the surrounding furnishings, and asked Jing Lan, "You made all of these?"
But sleeping for a while is like magic.
Jing Lan: "Before I left, I ordered some furniture according to our previous residence, and this time I came back, it was all ready. I found someone to move it here while you were sleeping."
"You want to live here too?" Xia Xi looked Jing Lan up and down with critical eyes, as if he was dissatisfied with his trespassing on his territory.
"There are not enough houses. Others are afraid of me and don't want to live with me." Jing Lan's tone was serious, not like talking nonsense at all: "Are you willing to take me in?"
Xia Xi frowned, he didn't believe a word.Maybe there are not enough houses for hundreds of people to live on such a big island?Maybe Chaomo won't reserve a room for Jing Lan?This guy must be lying.But maybe the taste of the cake is too tempting.Or maybe the familiar scene in front of him reminded him of some nostalgia for the past, and he couldn't utter the words to drive people away.
"Anything. The guest rooms are all empty, you just pick one to live in."
So the single dormitory becomes a double dormitory.
After eating the cake, Xia Xi finally changed into a clean cloak and met Chaomo.
Chaomo's house is next door to Xia Xi's, and it's also a two-story building. The upper floor is used as a lounge, and the lower floor is used for office, meeting guests, and meetings.
When Xia Xi came, he was asking Song Qiao about the repair status of the transport ship.Seeing Xia Xi, he put down what he was doing and signaled Song Qiao to talk about it later.
Chao Mo still wears glasses, showing a bit of cynicism in his gentleness.
As soon as they met, they gave Xia Xi a big hug with Jing Lan's murderous eyes, and said, "I specially prepared a grand welcome ceremony for you, but you ran away without seeing anyone when you got off the boat."
Xia Xi laughed: "It's a good thing I ran away. My scalp is numb just hearing the word "welcome ceremony."
Chaomo let go of Xia Xi with a smile, motioned him to sit, and sat on the chair next to him: "I heard Gu Ming say everything about the road, and I asked the captive sea slugs to identify the sea sharks. It was indeed the one who ate them That one. Thanks to you, otherwise there might be a big accident in the future voyage.”
Speaking of this battle, Xia Xi still felt a little emotional: "The sea shark is indeed upgrading too fast. If it takes a few more days, I'm afraid it will reach level six. At that time, we are afraid that if we meet face to face, the whole army will be wiped out."
Chao Mo: "There are a lot of good materials on the sea shark. The shield can be used to make armor and armor, and the teeth can be used to make weapons. The meat has also been tested and is non-toxic. It can be stored as food. This high-level The mutated biological meat also contains some energy residues, eating it is very nourishing for the body."
Xia Xi was hungry when she heard that, she turned to Jing Lan and said, "Shall we eat grilled fish tonight?"
Jing Lan responded with a smile.
Chaomo then talked to Xia Xi about the progress of the clover antidote. The production of clover was not made by Zhuguang’s family, but in cooperation with several shelters on the road. Zhuguang was only responsible for providing the original solution and ingredients, and several large shelters undertook the production and The task of transportation, including the shelter in Lanshu City that Xia Xi had taken before.
Chaomo said that after the destruction of the chosen stronghold, Lanshu Shelter has developed fairly well. Now it has a scale of tens of 10 people, and various supporting facilities have been re-established. The look of desolation in the parking lot.
Chaomo provided antidote stock solution and formula to these shelters, but did not ask for material rewards. He only made one request to these shelters, that is, when they provide the antidote to other shelters, the selling price of the antidote should not be higher than twice the cost.
Hearing that the Clover matter had been properly resolved, Xia Xi also felt a burst of relief.He is not a saint, but he doesn't want to see the tragedy of the clover on the road in autumn again.
After talking about the clover, Chaomo said again: "I've already asked Shi Yin about the situation in Jingting City. I didn't expect you to bring back S-level samples and artificial humans in addition to the clover. The doctor's progress is really beyond my expectations. Okay. Now that we have samples and intelligence, we will not be too passive."
Xia Xi: "I also found it by accident when I was looking for Clover. I always feel that the doctor is planning some big conspiracy. It's hard to feel at ease if I don't find out."
Xia Xi took out the only remaining sample of symbiotic mushroom spores, and related information: "This is sample S03. Its ability is to form an energy network, so that everyone who eats the spores can gain each other's power enhancement, enhance power and Various resistances. I heard that there is also a symbiotic mushroom body corresponding to it, and people who eat the body can absorb the energy of these spores in turn. The previous five-level mutant spider was urged out in this way."
"The doctor made this thing into a new medicine, and deceived more than 100 high-level officials in Jingting City to take it, as well as 1000 members of the expedition team, who also took the new medicine. He originally wanted to use these people to continue to distribute [-] new medicines go out.
"However, before I left, I had already announced the negative effects of this mushroom. The institute's plan this time should not succeed."
"That's not necessarily the case." Chao Mo shook his head, thinking that although Xia Xi was smart and keen, she was always naive in her views on human nature.
"Even if you know that it will become the mother's ability supply pool, it is estimated that many people will still take the medicine willingly."
"Why is that?" Xia Xi was puzzled.
Chaomo: "In the last days, you have to take risks to live. Relatively speaking, symbiosis can greatly reduce the external survival risks, but it only increases the risk from the mother alone. It is a very cost-effective deal. By giving new medicines to more people, more people can share the risk."
"I think most people who have already taken the medicine, even if they know the effect of the new medicine, will still hide it and persuade more people to take the medicine."
This was not the result Xia Xi expected, but he also agreed with Chaomo's analysis.
The lives of others are chosen by themselves, and Xia Xi has no intention of interfering.If they know the truth and insist on taking medicine, that is their freedom.Xia Xi just couldn't understand why these people still had such trust in the doctor.Obviously this person has already disregarded human life without concealing it.
If it were me, as long as he knew that the mushroom mother body was in the hands of the doctor, he would not take it even if he could immediately become a great undead mage after taking the medicine.
After talking about S03, Xia Xi mentioned S02 again: "The sample of S02 is Styx Phantom Butterfly, a fifth-level mutant insect of the mental attack type. It was used when dealing with sea sharks."
When Xia Xi talked about Huan Die, his expression was not very good-looking. When he thought of the function of this thing and Jing Lan's previous experience, he felt very repelled.
"I know." Chao Mo said and subconsciously glanced at Jing Lan: "In my previous life, I also found relevant clues about the Styx Phantom Butterfly. If I hadn't died and been brought into the research institute, I might be able to experience it for myself. its power."
"In addition, the two S-level samples you brought back are of the type that can accelerate the improvement of abilities. With the addition of artificial humans, I suspect that the doctor's real purpose is to use these things to mass-produce high-level crystals and create a very powerful artificial human team."
"It's possible." Xia Xi nodded in agreement.
Chao Mo added: "Huan Die's body has been sent to the research room, and Jing Yue's team is in charge of dissecting it. Psychic attacks are extremely rare. Maybe we can get some clues from it."
"Well. Then..." Xia Xi raised his head suddenly in the middle of speaking: "Jing Yue?"
"That's right, Jing Yue." Chaomo thought Xia Xi was surprised because he knew that Jing Yue was a researcher, and explained with a smile, "It's Jing Lan's little uncle. You should have had contact with him before, right? He was a researcher before the end of the world." , I heard that he is engaged in subjects related to biomechanics, and he is very talented in this area. He is also very interested in the artificial man you brought back this time, so he specifically told me to discuss it with you, and would like to ask you to lend him one. Come do your research."
