The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

The huge explosion echoed in the night sky, awakening countless people.The collectors and explorers digging in the depths of the vertical well, and the guards guarding the safe path outside, all dropped what they were doing and looked around at the watchtower or the edge of the abyss, hoping to find the place where the explosion occurred.

The vertical wells in the abyss are moody like creatures. The high and low visibility, the internal creatures that cannot grasp the law of action, and the local strong convective weather that occurs for some reason make cave exploration an extremely dangerous thing.It is normal to be preyed upon by large predators, to be caught in a storm and fall into the abyss, or to commit suicide by sudden insanity, or even to die from the curse of the abyss.

These deaths are all silent, and the news of their death will only reach the ears of the people above through relics, family letters, and word of mouth.Whether the cave explorers are alive or dead, their voices seem to be swallowed by the vertical well of the abyss, disappearing behind the impenetrable mist forever, and the outsiders will never know.

Now, the sudden burst of fire and loud roar broke the silence of the abyss vertical well, which can be heard by almost everyone in the floating island area on the first floor.This makes the cave explorers who are still working tremble.

Did someone piss it off?Or is this some kind of warning?The fear and anxiety that accompanied the explosions constantly shook people's hearts.

On the other side, the guards were equally frightened.Someone saw the flames of the explosion on the edge of the large floating island 'Dark Green Puppet' on the visible boundary, which is quite remarkable - people who can be guards here, and the cave explorers below and the most powerful people on this planet Most ordinary people are different.In order to protect—or seal off—the cave, all guards will be sent to the space station for training before taking office, where they will learn how to use those imported weapons and various other things, so that they will not be left alone. Stay calm no matter what happens.

However, this 'keep calm at all times' is relative and idealized.

There's absolutely nothing anyone can do in the first few minutes when you see a huge explosion that looks like a ship cannon hit inside your precinct.

"What's the matter..." The guard with the pointed iron hat was holding the electromagnetic rifle, and he felt his heart beating wildly.He casually pulled a trainee beside him, and said loudly, "Go and tell the lord, someone may have sneaked into the abyss and hang down the well, let him issue a martial law order."

"Yes!"

Stowaways often sneaked into the vertical well, and basically every guard knew about it.This is not because they are negligent, but because of the special requirements above——

Now that the planet is locked down, no one will rest on their laurels.When you see the stars are right in front of you, but you are locked in a cage and can only look up, will you be willing?of course not!The lords are eager for technology, eager to break through the blockade of the sky, and eager to one day be able to go to the sky themselves.But because of the existence of two powerful countries around it, it is impossible to expect to obtain technology through normal channels...

But abnormal ways have always existed.

That's stowaways.

Because of the existence of vertical wells, many people want to come here to make a fortune. The tools they carry are the carriers of technology, and the knowledge exists in their minds. This is the only way for this planet to obtain the blocked technology.Find ways to intercept these smugglers and exchange various services for their technology. If they don't die in the well, then they may become 'repeat customers' and bring back more things.Although the efficiency is really too low to be seen, it is like the spider silk hanging to hell, it is the only choice, or struggle, for the civilization trapped at the bottom of the gravity well.

There is no de facto suppression of stowaways at all here, but sending people to actively search for stowaways, creating 'chance encounters', cultivating trust, and completing transactions are what we are actually doing.But in order to ensure safety, people who directly contact stowaways must have no clues, just like the tail of a gecko, once they are discovered by the big powers, they will be abandoned——

It's their personal behavior to bite to death with one bite, shoot them!Shoot now! .jpg

Therefore, only those who have absolute loyalty and enthusiasm and the skills to survive in vertical wells can do this kind of work, so it is usually performed by cave explorers who have withdrawn from the front line.

Of course, this is not the only purpose, there is another very important reason is that if you don't do this, stowaways will not be stopped.Although it was blocked, the fleets on both sides did not, or could not block the entire space region. This sky is like "My Great Qing", it is almost a colander, if you want to cross it, you can enter it casually.The technical gap makes it impossible to prevent them from reaching the ground, and it is extremely dangerous to directly enter the vertical shaft with well-equipped equipment.

40 years ago, a group of smugglers did not contact any 'guide', and relied on their own guns, killed several guards and forcibly entered the abyss vertical well.This arrogant and arrogant behavior eventually led to bad results-these people without any protection against the curse passed through the floating island area safely. The cave, as if something had been 'filled' in it before, and now it has been pulled out) The curse broke out during the investigation, and the flesh and blood of several people condensed together, becoming a huge living 'human cocoon' On the cave wall next to the temporary camp.

After their bodies were alienated, the screams of these people lasted for more than seven days. A team of elite cave explorers rushed to the scene not to mention separating them from the fixed rock wall. Just approaching them had to bear tremendous mental pressure.After all, a large group of ground meat weighing more than six or seven people kept pulsating, and several faces stood out, screaming with all their strength with their mouths wide open, their eyes protruding from their sockets for more than half a meter and constantly shaking, as if even the eyes were It sounded like a roar, it was really scary.

And the ears can't take it either.

In the end, the cave explorers had no choice but to give up the rescue... What the hell, even if you managed to bring it back, where would you put such a big lump?How to restore the original state?In the end, Katharina Charlton, then the captain of the cave explorers, ordered a retreat on the grounds that the continuous screams would attract large predators around them, and they might not be able to get away if they continued to stay.Although humans have climbed to the top of the planet's food chain, it's a different story in this cave.

Her judgment was correct, and the scream successfully attracted the attention of the large predators living on the second floor below the floating island.A group of giant beasts named slime crawlers left the water veins of the second layer. After happily eating this 'human meat dumpling', they settled in the floating island area and attacked the floating island again and again. outpost in the region, causing severe economic damage and human casualties for decades to come.

After that, 'don't let this group of laymen enter the vertical well alone' became the iron rule.

But the current situation probably means that there are stowaways running in.

Although the floating island where the explosion occurred was very close to the surface, and could even be seen with the naked eye as it floated above the mist, it was far away from the surrounding floating islands and there was no way to build any bridges to connect them, and ordinary people could not reach that island by walking.It is possible to use a glider from the observation trestle above if it is hidden from the eyes of the guards (but it is surprisingly difficult to touch the huge glider and assemble it on site), but landing in that complex jungle environment is only possible. Damaged glider, stranded on floating islands - no one would do that.

Moreover, no one can pull off an explosion of this magnitude.But if some alien weapon was used in the panic of stowaways attacked by large predators after landing, it is very likely...

The tragedy of decades ago may be repeated again, which makes everyone tremble with fear.

But they were not the ones who were most frightened, but the crew on the Diablo and the troops that sneaked around.

Makoto, who was relieving fatigue in a light sleep, was suddenly awakened by the communication, and jumped up in fright after seeing the message——

[The Oregana team was attacked on the surface of the vertical shaft of the abyss, and the hostile creatures exploded during the counterattack, McCurry Meyer, the clone of Isaac Nolan has been activated, Oregana, Shimada Ruriko And sea hare lost contact.The command was handed over to the ship - the white fox team immediately began to search, and the hazy team stopped investigating the ocean situation and waited for the support of the gunboat. 】

[This is the Barr, the gunboat carrying the wired signal transmitter is being prepared and will set off in 10 minutes.At the same time, the commander of the War Scythe is here to execute the order to light up the hidden induction force field. 】

Attached together is a three-dimensional map marking the location of the explosion and the place where everyone was blown down. The most likely place to fall is accurately marked on it.One is on a platform 200 meters below, one is a very suitable local outpost, and the remaining three are all below 4000 meters.Judging from the state of Oregana's propeller, it is absolutely impossible to survive in that kind of place.

"What... what?!"

Makoto understood the situation the moment she read the news.

Landed to the first floor as scheduled, and while waiting for the follow-up support to arrive and investigate the local situation, it was sprayed with some kind of local creature with unstable elements in its body. During the battle, the opposite side exploded, killing two people at once. The consciousness was successfully uploaded before the communication was interrupted.The remaining three people may have been blown off the floating island at a place far from the center of explosion, and then fell into the abyss.

The lack of activation of the clones does not mean that these people are still alive. When the communication status is unknown, there is also the possibility that their consciousness has not been sent out and still stays in place-if that is the case, the situation is too dangerous.The state of the local space is unstable, the boundary between the subspace and the real space is blurred, and as a place that may be an ancient worm lair, there are also various things that may affect mental stability...

The only thing to be thankful for is that Oregana brought the chopping axe, and gave everyone a collar that can resist spiritual pollution and spiritual energy attacks before departure... But this does not mean that it is safe, and now I have to do it The only thing to do is to determine the exact location immediately and bring them back.The captain ordered the gunboat to go to support, which means that at this time, he no longer cares whether he will be discovered by the locals.

If there is no accident, there should be at least one aircraft carrier on standby in the rear, ready to forcibly enter this world.

Why on earth did it become like this?

She looked at the records before the accident. First, the head of the Oregana Legion misjudged the relative height, causing the thrusters to be overloaded and unable to use during the landing process. Then, as if waiting for them, just landing A monster named 'Swollen Throat' in the local area attacked - that monster usually doesn't even live in the floating island area, but is active in the lower area, and no one has witnessed it in the floating island area for decades this thing.

This can never be a coincidence.

Her actions also scared Parisio, who was still sorting out the equipment to be used in a few hours. The man put down the small hand drill in his hand with a puzzled face, and asked:

"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Makoto ignored Parisio, she said to her companions around:

"Understood? Come on!"

Following her words, everyone stood up, the masks closed one by one to cover their faces, and the red linear viewfinders lit up one by one.

Seeing this battle, Parisio showed a surprised expression. He didn't understand what happened, but he keenly felt that it must be related to Tarui:

"Huh?" Parisio tried to stop these aliens, "This time guide has not yet..."

"Forget about the guide," she said with an undeniable force in her voice. "There has been a change of plans, so let's go now."

"Wait! If we go now, the guards will..."

Before he finished speaking, Parisio felt something pressed against the back of his neck. The shape and hardness made his hair stand on end. It was obviously a gun or something similar.He has seen what it looks like when an alien's gun hits a person - before the other person reacts, a hole the size of a fist is opened in the body... Could it be that his life is going to end here?

Obviously, something happened to stimulate these smugglers just now, but it's not clear...

With a stabbing pain, he felt that his ability to control his body disappeared, but apart from that stabbing pain, he didn't feel any other discomfort.Just like that, Parisio fell to the ground like a heavy sack, and his face hit the rough stone floor, which was painful.

I'm not dead, but I can't move? !

He tried to speak, but his throat didn't seem to belong to him anymore, and he could only make a gasping sound of 's-ha-s-ha-'.

"Sir, I'm really sorry. I can only ask you to lie down for a while."

If the other person is credible, it's okay to take him along, but the problem is that he hasn't earned trust.It is obviously unacceptable to bring an untrusted guy to carry out the most important task, but in order to avoid this guy running around talking and causing more trouble, it is better to let him lie here for a few hours first.

This is not something like a stun gun or an anesthetic, but a carefully designed medical nanorobot.They can accurately locate the nervous system and interfere with the conduction of nerve signals with weak currents, easily take away a person's mobility within a set period of time, and create short-term high paraplegia.And when the time is up, the nanorobots that stop working will be eliminated by the body's metabolism, and it is not easy to leave headache sequelae.Compared with the stun guns of the 'Guangzhou' series, they are more controllable, but because the manufacturing cycle is a bit long, the logistics department does not recommend that all battle groups retire the 'Guangzhou' and replace them all with this , currently all listed this is only the Ansador family.

Taking advantage of the darkness, these infiltrating troops left this foothold, closed the door, and ran towards the vertical well of the abyss at the fastest speed.

However, when they had just climbed to the high ground and walked to the edge of the city, everyone suddenly realized that the situation might have deteriorated further.

There was no soldier on the nearby watchtower—these people with electromagnetic rifles had already boarded the cable car and started heading towards the vertical well.The beams of light from the searchlights tore through the darkness that shrouded the city, and loud sirens echoed in the night sky.Looking over there, the edge of the vertical well is brightly lit, as if the city wall of the bonfire platform has been ignited. Cannons are pulled out from the bunker and pushed along the rails to the ear platform. Soldiers are running nervously everywhere.

On the other side of the island, a triangular-shaped plane with propellers installed at the rear soared into the sky, making a rumbling roar, and flew to the distance at a speed that was considered fast in this world—that was the direction of the island where the airport was located.And beside the port, one sailboat after another raised its sails, sailed out of the harbor slowly under the yelling of the sailors, and left here without looking back. The sleepy sailors, porters, were whipped awake, All are doing their best to get the port back to function.

In the middle of the night, the whole city is being awakened.

"What's going on here?" Huang Jinsheng advanced at high speed. In order to avoid wasting time by circling below, the whole team adopted the method of running directly on the roof. With propulsion ability, they can easily run between houses at a speed of more than [-] kilometers per hour. "What are they doing? Are they going to catch the boss?"

"No," another team member shook his head, "It's a posture of defending against something. They obviously also observed the explosion, and maybe they thought that something from below started to hit upwards."

He made a lot of sense, it's obviously pointless to set up a cannon to shoot the boss in power armor, and even she might not be noticed by the locals.What's more, with just three or five people, even aliens wouldn't be able to make such a big battle.To be honest, this is not the lineup to catch stowaways, this is the lineup to prevent Godzilla from landing—whether it is Sherman, Walker Bulldog, Type [-], Type [-], or Type [-], or even the final decisive weapon but In fact, there are no eggs to use to kill, beast, light, line, and car, basically all of them are in this formation.

I looked around and found nothing that looked like a Type [-] Drag-Ride, so I felt relieved for some reason.

"When the gunboats arrive, they will be exposed to everyone. Diplomatic disputes are inevitable."

"Anyway, as long as we don't see through our real bodies, diplomatic disputes are nothing more than mutual condemnation. The chances of the great powers really fighting... what the hell?!"

In front of Huang Jinsheng, who just wanted to explain the fact that although the political situation in this universe is chaotic, it is actually very stable, something unexpected happened——

On the 'city wall' in the distance, several cannons fired suddenly, and flames and smoke sprayed out from the muzzles, which looked dazzling and magnificent at night.In the night illuminated by the muzzle light, something is shaking...

PS1: Ask for collection and recommend microphone 0w0

PS2: continue meow 0w0 tomorrow

PS3: I'm really sorry, I had a bad stomach last night, and I sat on the toilet with my notebook for most of the night, and I still couldn't finish writing before I was sent to the doctor (Doxia seat)

It feels like I've been sitting on the toilet all my life (cover face)

Chapter 903 Chapter 811: Trapped?

Power armor, like battleships, is the crystallization of technical power.It gave soldiers sharper eyes, alerter ears, stronger backs, faster legs and longer stamina.Putting on the power armor and covering it more tightly than the knights in the past, you can do things that many traditional combat machines in the past could not do.

But this has its limit after all. Putting on power armor is not being held in the arms of the Buster Machine, and it cannot help you change the laws of physics-for example, when a large alienated biological gas tank is blown up in front of you, it cannot With a wave of his hand like that, the incoming shock wave can be eliminated, and he can't lie firmly on the spot like a heavy tank.

At that moment, the marines at close range came in fragments, whether it was the armor or the body inside, they were all torn apart by the impact and heat.The three people who were far away were pushed into the abyss by the surrounding air waves.

The main propeller was still in a forced cooling state, and Oregana could do nothing but control her posture by swinging her hands and feet so that she wouldn't roll around in midair.She fell downwards like a stone, and her posture restrained the nozzle to stop the falling trend.Within a few seconds, the floating island above his head was no longer visible, and the communication with the mothership was completely cut off at that moment. From the outside, he should have rushed into the fog just now.

Being unable to communicate with the mothership is a very serious matter for clone warriors.If it is impossible to communicate with the mothership, it means that if you die at this time, you can only return to the human world after a few days, months, or even years through the subspace butterfly stroke-this is It's like an exiled subspace demon, but the subspace demon is exiled for a while and can't come back to accumulate strength, here is looking for a way...

But here the situation is different.

This vertical shaft feels very strange, because of the long-term erosion of the cracks in the inner subspace, the boundary between the subspace and the real space is very ambiguous.In this kind of place, the art of butterfly swimming in the subspace... It feels like forming seals to condense chakras... In short, it is going into the water, and going into the water will become difficult.It's true that the forces of chaos can move freely in the subspace, but you must first be able to enter the subspace, and here, Oregana doesn't even know how to enter the real subspace.

That is to say, if she dies here, if there is no one to help, she will not know how many years it will take to go back, plus the phenomenon of suspected mental attack before, so she dare not just die once before talking.

It would have been easier if everyone on the top had been blown up to death together just now, and that position can be passed back... (covers face)

But even if she wanted to cover her face now, she couldn't do this action—she had to use both hands to control her posture.You must find a way to get close to the cliff, and launch a dart to fix yourself, otherwise the only possibility of continuing to accelerate the fall is to fall to your death below.

And just then, the savior arrived.

Liu Lizi approached from the left at high speed, because the thrusters were still in good condition, she could descend at a faster speed than Oregana.The leopard controlled the howling wind with astonishing agility, and its thrusters sprayed dazzling blue light in the air, like a pair of shining wings spreading out in a dark storm, overflowing the brilliance of the power armor.

At the moment when the two were closest to each other, the two collided violently. Liu Lizi grabbed Oregana's back like a bird of prey, and then spun and fell downwards in mid-air:

"caught you!"

Perhaps in the eyes of some people, this is a sweet and romantic scene, but for the parties concerned, these two strokes are really fatal.In order to catch Oregana, Liu Lizi couldn't use her hands to control her posture. At the same time, because of the doubled weight (in fact, more than doubled), the current falling situation can be said to be completely out of control.

"Liu Lizi!" At this moment, Oregana raised her head, and shouted at Liu Lizi who was a little at a loss, "Data link, I leave the control of the armor to you! Use our posture to control the armor!"

That's right, although the main propeller failed, Oregana's arms, legs and torso's posture controllers were still intact.It was used to make up for Liulizi's loss of several control nozzles because she wanted to fix Oregana, and these were barely enough.

She immediately passed the permission with the internal key, gritted her teeth and said:

"Grit your teeth and relax your body! It might twist somewhere!"
