The "porous rock construction site" is a large area, where more than a dozen teams are busy assembling energy broadcast antennas and extraction devices. Each of these teams has a siren supervisor and includes dozens of slave laborers . Due to the huge rocks and complex terrain that can be seen everywhere in this area, there are many monitoring blind spots here, and it seems that the sea monsters are not too vigilant here: they don't seem to think that any enemies will suddenly appear near their hometown, but This kind of paralysis gave outsiders an opportunity to take advantage of it.
A pale-skinned vampire assembles metal twigs under the watchful eye of a siren overseer, and his team bustles around the edge of the site. The vampire watched the siren overseer swimming slowly not far away holding a crystal halberd, but he no longer had the thought of resisting in his mind: he knew that no one could escape from this place, even though the free waters were within him. Twenty meters away, but even if the sea monster let his group of people leave, no one could pass through the layers of invisible mazes and reach the surface of the sea alive. He looked around him, and there were two werewolves in a group with him. This is a frustrating situation for a vampire, but after the initial days of conflict, all races in the team have recognized the reality, and now He and the werewolves stood together in peace, and even those cunning Shadow Fiends didn't use their brains anymore.
The siren overseer glanced at her expressionlessly. The vampire and the two werewolves beside her looked at her unceremoniously, but the work in hand did not stop. The overseer only confirmed that the slaves She was working at the worker's speed, but she didn't respond to the latter's rude gaze. She nodded in satisfaction, and swam like a snake to another rock.
"Idiot who can't think." The two werewolves whispered in unison.
The vampire lowered his head and focused on the most delicate step in the assembly process, but at this moment, a strange female voice suddenly cut into his mind: "Which family do you come from, young vampire."
The vampire looked around in horror. He saw that there seemed to be something strange under the shadow of the boulder in the distance, but the voice in his head stopped him from moving further: "Keep working, young vampire, answer a few questions for me. See if we can find a way to help you a handful."
The young vampire felt the power of the high-ranking vampire from the voice that directly invaded his mind, and he asked respectfully in his heart: "Which senior are you? I am Bruce from the Northern European Abel family."
"You should have seen my name in your family records. I am Vivienne, the elder of the blood clan..."
After a few minutes of communication, Vivian turned around, and Lily immediately leaned over: "Bat, bat, what's the situation? What's the matter with these people? How did they get caught here?"
Vivienne nodded: "As expected, it has something to do with the Day of Return. Many heterogeneous families gathered all their clansmen together after believing in the Day of Return. Then they were arrested in one go. But the ones who have been caught so far There are still very few aliens, and these vampires and werewolves have only been captured in recent years. It seems that the Siren Queen has completely lost control in the past few years, and she has not had time to launch a large-scale operation on the surface."
"It's fortunate that we discovered it early," Shakira said, with an expression of crying or laughing, "Then what are they doing here?"
"Powering the maelstrom, that ever-growing thing devours the primordial power of this planet every day," Vivienne replied, "These metal pillars are just part of the system. The rest of their components are in the city of Nasathorn." In the center, the Kraken built a huge magical device to control the huge energy collected, and those Krakens in the city who had not been fully controlled were forbidden to go out. They were used as the 'stabilizer' of the magical device, The power is drawn in turn every day. The situation is not much better than these slave labor outside."
"I didn't expect that the deep sea has deteriorated to this extent," Hasselblad said with a gloomy expression, "Have you found a way to enter Nasathorn?"
"There is a method, and it's surprisingly simple," Vivienne smiled, "Follow those human soldiers, Nasathorn opens once a day, and those 'water wrecks' will be sent to a facility in the center of the city to deal with them The crystal on the chest is charged. During this process, the water dome will not respond to foreign creatures, so we can follow in."
Hao Ren was surprised: "It's that simple? Is that how the monitoring siren is watching?"
"Did you see those siren's eyes?" Vivian pointed to a siren supervisor patrolling the edge of the clearing. "Turned completely black, this is the sea monster that is completely occupied. They have lost the ability to think, and can only act according to instinct. The last rebellion broke out in Nasathorn a few years ago, and all the outings of the city after that The personnel were replaced by this kind of completely occupied sea monsters. They are stronger than ordinary sea monsters and obey the command of the giant brain, but the disadvantage is that their intelligence is very low and easy to deceive. What we have to do is to start from the vicinity of the submarine Grab some sand on the beach, and then follow the team into the city. During this process, don't interfere with the route of the siren overseers. These guys won't call the police on the brain monsters, and they will treat us as Workers on the construction site. Of course, there may be other accidents after entering the city, and we can only adapt to it at that time—our primary purpose is to enter the city.”
Lily shook her ears: "I didn't expect... That giant brain is not afraid of someone getting in."
Vivienne smiled: "After all, according to common sense, no outsiders can find Nasathorn. This city does not need to be fortified at all. This loophole is very normal."
Hao Ren nodded: "Okay, you and Lily stay here, we'll go to the submarine first."
Time passed slowly while waiting, Nasathorn's day was two hours shorter than that of the surface world, but it was still a bit unbearable. Vivienne learned as much as possible about the current situation in Nasathorn City through spiritual communication with several blood races, but these slave workers also have limited understanding of the city. It's impossible, everyone can only decide to let Shaqila lead the way in the end, and adapt to other situations.
Finally, the first team of "Water Skeletons" completed today's work, and a siren supervisor came to direct the undead to Nasathorn, and then the nearby dead were also taken away from the scene. When the last group of people left the construction site, a small group of figures followed quickly.
Following behind the undead from World War II, Hao Ren and the others passed through the city shield smoothly.
Presented in front of everyone is an elegant and peculiar deep-sea city——
Nasathorn has an incredible sense of "integration". All the buildings here seem to be part of a larger facility. The city ground seems to be cast as a whole, and all the buildings are "installed" on this ground. superior. Most of the things here are in the style of layers of shells and corals. The houses with elegant arcs and coral towers are well arranged, which makes people think of the deep-sea palaces in fairy tales. Although they are weird, they are Exquisite like a work of art.
It’s just that this elegant city is now lifeless, with all the doors and windows of the buildings closed, and no sea monsters can be seen on the streets. There is a depressing atmosphere in the clear sea water, and the silence is as dull as a ghost town.
"It wasn't like this when I left..." Shakira looked sadly at the ghostly state of the city today, "It used to be a lively and peaceful place, and the Krakens always liked to race in circles between these pillars Swimming, or singing competitions...but it's all changed now."
"Don't worry, everything will be fine, as long as you kill that giant brain," Hao Ren comforted the depressed sea monster, "The situation is not too bad now, at least everyone is under control and they are still alive. "
In order to prevent being bumped into by other patrolling Krakens with higher thinking ability, the crowd did not follow the water wrecks all the way into the city center, but turned around after following for a while and went to the destination from another road: Palace area.
Shaqila still remembered some inaccessible paths in the city, these places were close to the water circulation pipeline of Nasathorn, usually no one would pay attention to it, it would be much safer to proceed from here.
Now the team is advancing along a huge alloy pipeline. This pipeline is buried in a groove with a width of more than ten meters. The groove itself is the best bunker. While leading the way, Shakira touched the pipes beside her: "When I was a child, I would sneak to play near these pipes, climb in from the water inlet, and then turn into water and be washed around in a circle, and finally pass through the water from the other side of the city. The water spouts out."
Hao Ren was focusing on other things.
He looked at a nameplate on the pipe tank, on which was written the crooked Kraken characters. After the translation, it read: Nasathorn - the fourth water circulation pipe, triple pressure section.
And along the way just now, he also saw more signs that could reveal the information of the city. Those nameplates and simple facility structure diagrams were combined, and he finally figured out what this place was.
"Your city is a spaceship?!"
