Tang Yi recalled the photos of the two stone tablets stored in his watch, and looked over and over again, but naturally he couldn't see anything. He wondered if he could ask Lin Maochen to help extract the characters in it with some programs to see if he could find a similar language. Lin Maochen familiarly opened the language decoding program in his information database and scanned the characters in it, but it was not displayed by the protection of the base.
Lin Maochen immediately became interested and continued to fiddle in front of the keyboard interface projected by light and shadow. Tang Yi stared at this little brat who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic. His eyes brightened as if he heard that some horror game had started pre-sale, and he typed a series of things he didn't understand in a bunch of program interfaces that dazzled him. character command. After about an hour, Lin Maochen cheered.
"It's done! Fortunately, it's not a top secret~ You can only watch it for five minutes, otherwise you will be discovered!"
After making trouble for a long time, this daring boy actually hacked a server belonging to Lijian...
Tang Yi quickly browsed the information displayed in the projection. That kind of character has been found in many abandoned cities of the Kraken, but since the Kraken was fully domesticated, they completely forgot their own language, so no one continued to study and decipher this lost language.
Among the people still alive now, only Dr. Lazaro, who used to be a researcher of Kraken culture in Sharp Sword of the First Base, has a certain understanding of the Kraken language.
As soon as the time came, Lin Maochen immediately disconnected, and Tang Yi was busy searching for Dr. Lazaro's information on his own. A former researcher of Sharp Sword, Dr. Lazaro had a high reputation at Base One and now lives on the North American continent.
Lin Maochen put his elbows on the table and held his face with interest, "Where did you get these photos from? I didn't even know that the Kraken had his own words!"
Tang Yi glanced at him, "Don't talk nonsense about today's affairs."
"Don't worry~ I have the strictest mouth!"
Next, Tang Yi showed the photos to Ashes and Zixi in private. Both Krakens said that they couldn't understand the words above, and their expressions were normal, and there was no strange reaction like Mercury's. That is to say, not all sirens will be sensitive to the deep sea and these characters.
Why does Mercury look at those characters as if they knew them? Was the tragic afterimage they saw beneath the trench an accident
Tang Yi always felt that something was wrong, as if he and Mercury were falling down involuntarily.
Tang Yi was on his way back to his room, but he happened to see Mercury talking to a human in a diving suit in a distant place outside the window.
Is that... Qu Lan
Tang Yi frowned. What can Vice-Captain Qu have to say to Mercury? Why not say it to his face? He pricked up his ears and carefully discerned the voices of the two men among all the infrasound vibrations, but he heard nothing.
This made Tang Yi a little uncomfortable.
When Mercury came back, Tang Yi was sitting on the window sill and smoking a cigarette absent-mindedly. The Kraken glanced at him quietly, said nothing, and went straight to the bathroom to dry his body. The first area has just been built, and artificial intelligence has not yet been installed. There is no need to worry about being monitored. The two no longer need to sneak into the sleep capsule to discuss things. But it never occurred to me that they finally had a little freedom, but the two of them had nothing to say.
Tang Yi felt that he couldn't continue to be so embarrassed. Something will happen sooner or later.
"What did you say to Qu Lan just now?" Tang Yi shouted in the direction of the bathroom. After a while, Mercury's voice came from inside, "Just a few words."
Tang Yi hummed and flicked the ashtray, "Why didn't I know you were a chatty type?"
The door opened, and Mercury came out after changing his clothes, but he didn't answer, as if he turned around and planned to go out again. Tang Yi jumped down from the window and grabbed Mercury's hand.
"What are you doing sneaking around every day! Your whole person has changed since you got to the sea!" Tang Yi's tone was more anxious than angry. He had a feeling that he was getting further and further away from the mercury.
Mercury looked up at him with a look of exhaustion. He seemed to want to explain, but didn't know where to start.
"I need to... find something..." Mercury finally said uncertainly.
"What are you looking for?"
Quicksilver shook his head, "I don't know..."
Tang Yi held Mercury's head and stared at the Kraken seriously, as if he could find out the thoughts in the Kraken's head, "Quickin, let's stop making trouble, okay? Tell me what you want to do, and let me know. At least I have a spectrum. If it goes on like this, I will be driven crazy by you."
Mercury's wandering gaze finally focused on Tang Yi's face, her eyes soft and sigh-like, "What are you so worried about me for? You forgot what you said to me on the submarine?"
Tang Yi froze for a moment, "What did I say?"
"Didn't you say you want to be empathetic?" Mercury seemed to have a little smile in her eyes.
Tang Yi felt that his face flushed red. He was speechless, desperately trying to find a suitable answer, "I... I said what happened?! I'm caring about my comrades!"
Mercury's fingers gently landed on the corner of Tang Yi's brows, and hesitantly traced the end of his eyes, and the atmosphere became a little ambiguous for a while. Tang Yi didn't dare to move or speak, as if he was afraid of breaking the suddenly thick atmosphere.
"You said that your relationship with Tang Ya is not good. The reason you helped me is mainly to stay in the Kraken team." Mercury whispered, "If I have a way to get them to give you a new sea monster Demon, a siren of your own, would you be happy?"
Tang Yi's eyes widened slightly and he laughed dryly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"As long as I look at you, I will unconsciously think of Tang Ya. I can't give you what you want." Mercury's voice was like a whisper, her hand was placed on Tang Yi's shoulder and neck, and her thumb was rubbing fondly. Tang Yi's skin, "Don't you want a Kraken that hasn't been bound yet? You don't have to be your brother's shadow anymore, and you won't be mistaken."
"Enough!" Tang Yi slapped Mercury's hand away abruptly.
Mercury was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Tang Yi was suddenly angry.
"What do you think of me!" Tang Yi's eyes were bright, and there was a faint burning anger in it, "I don't need other sea monsters!!! I don't want other sea monsters!!! I... "
He got stuck in half of his words.
What can be said? I just want you
is that useful
He knew that the mercury could not be his, why couldn't he control himself
"You idiot..." Tang Yi finally scolded weakly and rushed out the door.
Mercury turned his head slightly, looking at the automatic door that was slowly closing, with a complicated expression that was indescribable.
When people approaching saw Tang Yi's gloomy expression, they hurriedly avoided it until Tang Yi slammed into Luo Wei. Luo Wei grabbed Tang Yi's shoulder and looked at Tang Yi's tense face with concern, "What happened? Why do you look like you are going to kill?"
Tang Yi raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "You still talk to me if you know I want to kill you?"
Luo Wei smiled, and there was a bit of warm tenderness on his young face, "If I don't talk to you, I'm afraid you will really kill people."
Tang Yi found that this kid always looks arrogant and cocky with people he doesn't know well, but after getting used to it, he is actually a warm guy. Seeing his sunny smile, the entanglement in his heart seems to be less painful.
Tang Yi waved his hand, "Go, accompany me to drink."
The two of them had just taken two steps when suddenly there was a loud bang in the distance, the entire hall shook violently, and several of the ball lamps hanging from the ceiling fell to the ground one after another and shattered.
Luo Wei almost fell, and was pulled by Tang Yi to barely stabilize his body, "What's going on!"
Tang Yi accurately located the source of the sound coming from the direction of the second area under construction. The two of them immediately rushed along the corridor to the hall leading to District 2, only to find several researchers screaming and fleeing in the opposite direction. Tang Yi saw Han Qi, who was also running towards this side in a panic, at a glance, and grabbed the person to the side, "What happened!"
Han Qi was still in shock, "Someone is bombing the second area!" Before he finished speaking, a huge sound accompanied by a dazzling flash of light shook the entire deep sea again. A few cracks spread. At the same time, a few ominous shadows gradually formed out of the dark blue, spreading like dark clouds under the sea.
Tang Yi's first reaction was the rebels, but after seeing the solid and advanced silver shell of the giant whale-like submarine and the latest small combat submarines floating around the submarine, he couldn't believe it.
How could the rebels have such weapons? Even the third base has few such super-nuclear submarines.
Those who are bombing the second area are those small underwater submarines, which are hovering over the entire underwater exploration base like bombers. The members of the Kraken team have been leading the Kraken to the direction of the second district one after another. Once the flimsy wall between the second and first areas is blasted, they will be swallowed by the sea in no time.
Tang Yi turned his head to Han Qi and said, "Assemble all the researchers immediately, put on pressure-resistant suits, and retreat to the deep-water submarine dock!"
Han Qi was a little reluctant to follow suit, after all, he just wanted to run for his life now, and he didn't want to waste time gathering those old men who were so frightened. But Tang Yi's eyes staring at him were so scary and full of deterrence that he didn't dare to resist, so he had to shout, "All researchers come with me!"
Tang Yi and Luo Wei looked at each other and ran in the same direction without speaking. They went underground through the stairs, put on anti-stress suits and took up their weapons. Tsuruta Takumi was also there, and the three of them quickly and neatly finished their equipment and rushed to the second area together.
At this time, there was another round of bombing, and Tang Yi seemed to hear the sound of broken glass, the sound of majestic water, and the shrill screams.
Tsuruta stopped abruptly, gritted his teeth and commanded, "It's too late, immediately retreat to the submarine warehouse!"
Tang Yi wanted to argue, "But there are still people over there!"
"The wall is broken, people will suffocate to death within a minute in the sea, those people are already dead. The most important thing now is to protect the survivors." Tsuruta ordered coldly and firmly to the headset, all fifteen The members of the detachment and the Kraken immediately went to the submarine warehouse to prepare for an emergency evacuation.
Tang Yi turned back and shouted to Luo Wei, "You go first, I'll go over there and see!" Then he ran away without looking back. Luo Wei ran in Tang Yi's direction without thinking. Tsuruta looked at them coldly, scolded something in a low voice, and actually followed.
Tang Yi didn't take a few steps when he saw a terrifying scene. The water poured in like a flood along the corridor, roaring fiercely and swallowing everything that passed along the way. Tang Yi immediately stretched out his hand and grabbed the raised pilaster on the wall. When the terrifying water pressure hit him, even if he was wearing an anti-pressure suit, he would inevitably be dizzy. The water kept tearing at his body, and he gritted his teeth, unaware that he was shouting a meaningless sound, his fingers clasped on the pilaster so as not to be swept away by the water. He saw a man in a researcher's white lab coat being swept past him like a wisp of duckweed, and reflexively reached out and grabbed it. Gradually, the water flow finally eased down a bit, and he finally took a breath, and immediately checked the man's condition.
But the man's eyes were wide open and his mouth was open at an incredible angle, apparently drowning.
Tang Yi scolded lowly, let go of the corpse and continued to swim forward. In the hall closest to the wall, the bodies of five or six researchers were floating in the sea water, hitting the wall with the waves, apparently no longer alive. A large hole with a length of dozens of meters had been blown out in the wall, and the shattered glass snowflakes floated in the dark blue, and the small black combat submarine flew past with the whistling cyclone. In the interweaving lighting, several figures in silver-gray anti-stress suits emerged from the sea fog.
Luo Wei suddenly grabbed Tang Yi from behind to cover behind the counter of the coffee bar, Tsuruta Craftsman glared at Tang Yi, obviously saying: Let you not obey the order, now it's alright!
Tang Yi pouted and shrugged, listening carefully to the movement outside.
Who are those people? Why attack them suddenly
Aren't there any rebels around here? Where did these people come from
The three of Tang Yi held their breath and didn't dare to move. At this moment, Tang Yi and Hetian's sharp hearing caught the sounds coming from the headsets of those team members.
"Several deep-sea submarines attempted to escape, but most of them have been intercepted by our side, one was sunk, and another escaped."
One of the people who was very close to the bar spoke in a calm and lazy voice, "Continue to track the submarine, make sure to intercept it. As for the rest... Are the targets among those people?"
"Not yet found."
"Then don't stay alive."
Tang Yi felt that the whole person was stunned, such a light sentence followed by endless silence. Only the sound of explosions from far away roared, spreading in all directions along the water waves.
Mercury... I felt myself shaking uncontrollably, but Luo Wei covered his mouth tightly.
After a moment of silence, the lazy voice reminiscent of a cat rang out again, "Come out."
Tang Yi, Luo Wei and Hetian froze for a while at the same time.
Are you talking about them
Or are you just testing
They both decided not to act rashly, but at this moment, a rustling sound came from overhead, as if an animal were sniffing something.
Tang Yi raised his head and met a face suddenly.
A nightmarish face.
The flat, rotten muscle-like face was covered with criss-crossing scars. There was nothing where the eyes were originally, not even eye sockets. The nose was just two slits and there was no mouth. It was squatting on the bar, and its abnormally long neck had gills like a siren, which now curved into a strange arc, staring at Tang Yi.
“What the fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
A minute later, Tang Yiluowei and Hetian were forced to kneel on the ground with their hands behind their backs with handcuffs. There were several figures standing in front of them, the helmets of those people were dark, and their faces could not be seen.
All their weapons were disarmed, and several laser guns were aimed at their heads. The nightmarish monster just now was squatting next to the only person who was not holding a weapon, with webbed hands and feet, and a slender tail without any hair swaying slowly behind him, like an obedient pet. This monster, Tang Yi, felt inexplicably familiar, and he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while. And the human next to the monster walked slowly in front of the three of them, his casual and comfortable pace, as if he was strolling in the garden, not in the underwater base where corpses were floating everywhere.
Those feet stopped in front of Tang Yi.
Tang Yi swallowed his saliva and continued to cast his eyes on the ground.
After a long while, the man ordered, "Take them back to Ogubugu."
The so-called Aogubuguben was the name of a water monster in a lake in North America in myths and legends, but what that person was referring to was the huge nuclear submarine not far away. It was at least half the size of the Blue Whale, and it was a piece of black. Why haven't they discovered such a big submarine? Hasn't the sonar detection system already been installed in Area 1
Tang Yi and the other three were taken into the submarine. The burly soldiers pushed and shoved them, rudely tore off their anti-compression suits, and conducted a thorough body search. Tang Yi resisted the urge to fry his hair and let those hands touch him, and as a result, even the dagger he hid in the boot was found.
Next, Tang Yi was forced to separate from the other two. He was taken alone into a spacious, bright, beautifully furnished, retro-style room. Those cat foot sofas, oil paintings on the walls, delicate lamps and desks are full of retro and elegant log smells.
This doesn't look like a soldier's or military's room at all.
Tang Yi's eyes were fixed on a delicate golden pocket watch on the coffee table not far away.
He remembered where he saw this thing, after all, its owner is not the kind of person who can be easily forgotten...
Almost at the same time, a hand came quietly from behind, Tang Yi only felt his scalp tighten and his face was forced to lift. The slightly widened eyes due to inexplicable fear met a magical face that blended the depth of the West and the beauty of the East. The rosy lips were curved, evil and gorgeous.
"We meet again."
