The long worm passed through the steamboat and slowly swam into the neat and crowded house.
"Captain, what is that?" Dipper's fish face was confused.
"Its entity is underground, and things outside are just its shadows." Charles said as he stared at the ground.
Just like a person’s shadow is black, but the shadow of this thing is that giant insect.
The strange light that was beyond human vision, a color that only he could see, was fading.
Seeing that the crisis was over, the crew members gasped for breath, and they were sweating profusely and patting their chests.
Just as they were laughing at each other's embarrassment after surviving the disaster, a few small dots in the distant sky immediately made everyone alert.
Taking the telescope from the second mate, Charles looked over there. It was a group of spiral planes arranged in a V-shape, but their wings were not mechanical but replaced by a pair of bird wings.
"Hurry! Turn the turbine to maximum! Let's catch up!" Charles had seen this strange plane before. They were on 068 and had fought with the task force on 068 before.
Charles quickly turned into a bat and followed them, afraid of losing them. As long as he followed them, he would be able to find 068 as quickly as possible.
Flying at a low altitude, the city below is in full view. Compared with the barren Gobi Desert, this city is obviously much more lively. From time to time, some strange-looking creatures beyond human imagination emerge from the buildings.
Most of them were quite large, but fortunately they didn't seem to have any ill will towards Charles and didn't attack him.
Although this feeling was strange, Charles felt that this place was called a city, but it was more like a forest without a single tree.
These strange monsters formed a special ecological chain here. Charles even saw something disguised as a house suddenly crack open and swallow a giant snail that looked like a human hand.
As we went deeper, the road became more and more difficult to walk on, and in some places there were even cracks several meters long.
Fortunately, the steamship uses tracks, otherwise it would not be able to move forward using only wheels.
After chasing for three hours in this city, Charles and his team finally found 068
Accompanied by a huge roar, the 068 surrounded by dust slowly crushed the dozens-story building in front of it into pieces.
It was on the seabed before and now it is on land. Looking up from below, 068 looks even bigger.
068 is a complete mobile city. In front of it, anything that stands in the way will be crushed in an instant.
Charles turned into a bat and circled around 068 from a distance. He saw a thing like a translucent octopus crawling on the houses in the center of 068, constantly gnawing on something. It was estimated that this thing was at least several hundred meters wide.
Charles keenly sensed something was wrong. He would not be surprised no matter what monsters there were on the surface. What surprised him was that the task force on 068 did not attack. You know, the task force he encountered before was not like this.
After a quick look around, Charles landed back on the deck. As time was running out, he immediately began to select the members to go with him.
"068 is very high. We've been there once before, so we know the general situation there. So we don't need everyone to go there this time. Bandage, me, Linda, Dipper, Audric, Severus."
Charles brought all the vampires on the ship. The most important thing was not how powerful they were, but that they could fly. The only one who couldn't fly was Linda, the ship's doctor.
068 was still moving. Charles didn't say much. After saying "follow your orders", he flew forward quickly with the selected people.
Covered by the flying dust, Charles and others stopped in an alley at the edge of 068.
As soon as they landed, the perceptive Charles heard the sound of snow from the TV in the next room, and there was someone inside.
Now that you have arrived at a place and want to know what has been discovered here before, just catch a tongue and ask.
When I jumped in through the window, I saw the living room of the house. There was no one inside, and the static sound from the TV came from the bedroom.
Charles' figure gradually disappeared into the air, and the bedroom door was opened silently.
The TV in the corner was on, and a sofa with a slicked-back head was placed in front of the TV. Judging from the shadow, someone was sitting there watching TV.
Charles took out the Black Thorn and walked over after glancing at the TV screen with noisy snow.
When he lowered his head from above the sofa, he was stunned. There was indeed someone sitting on the sofa, but he didn't expect there were two people like this.
It seems that these two people are a couple, but their heads are not human heads but the heads of two birds.
Not to mention their appearance, their behavior was also extremely weird. The two bodies overlapped each other and twitched at a high frequency.
Charles usually only sees this situation in games with bugs.
Just when Charles was hesitating whether to communicate with the two people in front of him, the two high-frequency heads suddenly raised up, and the two bird eyes stared straight at Charles who was in invisible state.
The frequency of their twitching suddenly increased. With a "thump", they stood up instantly and then began to split apart in front of Charles.
It did not split into two people, but instantly split into four identical overlapping birdmen like a cell.
The next second, 2 became 4, 4 became 16, and in a short while, Charles was surrounded by a large group of overlapping people. What was even more unacceptable was that part of his face was also embedded in their bodies.
"Fuck!" Charles pulled the face skin out of their bodies with force, and blood and flesh splattered everywhere where it was split, as if Charles and they were really conjoined twins.
White arcs of electricity bounced around, quickly attacking all the split people.
"Captain! Let me help you!!" Dipper, wearing red animal skin, kicked his feet hard and rushed in.
The bedroom suddenly became lively, with the sound of electric arcs and gunshots.
Fortunately, although these split people look very strange, they are not immune to harm.
Under the attack of several people, the separatists died one after another and fell to the ground. After flashing a few times, they disappeared.
When all the split people were completely slaughtered, a brand new split person was refreshed on the sofa and continued to watch the TV screen with snow.
This time Charles did not disturb them again and slowly left the bedroom with the crew.
"What happened to 068? It wasn't like this when I came here before." Charles thought to himself.
The surface seemed to have some special effect on the residents of 068.
