Chapter 287 A Peep from the Deep Sea
Of course, although he thought so, Peter did not show it, for fear that the other party would shoot him with that strange-looking weapon that could not be identified which factory it came from.
"You mean, theoretically, no matter which direction we go, as long as we keep going straight, we will end up back at this starting point?"
Colin asked curiously.
"Yes... This is the conclusion reached by the great pirate Soros!" said the dwarf Peter with some pride.
Then what the powerful forces had not been able to do was verified by the pirates.
"Well, that's interesting."
It seems that this world is an ocean world similar to the Möbius ring?
Shorty Peter added: “But if you want to try, it’s very difficult to accomplish this, because few people have the strength of Soros to keep moving in one direction.
“After him, many people tried to do the same, but only a few succeeded.
"Speaking of which, before his death, the great pirate Soros once said that he had buried a treasure at the end of this road..."
Why does it smell like One Piece...
Colin looked at the guy in front of him who was a little too excited and couldn't help but complain.
He even wondered if this might also be a colleague.
But he rejected his idea because "Soros" was a figure who lived a hundred years ago, and if he were to use a joke, the timing wouldn't fit.
But...to say that it is absolutely not the case does not mean that it is absolutely impossible.
Colin now feels that something is wrong with the time in other worlds outside the earth, or more accurately, in other worlds related to the company.
But I didn't continue to think about it meaninglessly.
"Bang!"
Colin shot and interrupted the dwarf: "Okay, take us to the second underwater island you mentioned."
“Okay, okay…”
The dwarf Peter did not dare to delay and quickly took out a nautical chart from his pocket, and then took out a very special precision instrument. There were compass-like tables on it, and in addition there were many counting things, which seemed to represent changes in water pressure and so on.
Although the water pressure deviation here is not large, there is still a bias.
This pirate seemed to be determining his current location by comparing the above values.
Ke Lin couldn't quite understand it, but it didn't matter: "Xiao Yin, try to crack this thing."
They need their own navigator...
Not long after, after determining the direction, Colin and others began to act again.
This time, Colin's team is no longer just the "Deep Sea Narwhal", but also includes seven or eight pirate submarines, more than a hundred living pirates, and more than two hundred corpses as food.
It is hard to say whether these one hundred pirates are good or bad people; they just did fewer evil things.
Colin gave them some chances to reform themselves. In addition, there were some female deputy captains with a sadistic habit. Adhering to the principle of people-oriented, he also gave them a chance, a chance to start over.
To his surprise, this dwarf Peter, apart from murder and a bit of a problem with his sexual orientation, did not have a twisted personality that was bloodthirsty and murderous...
Moreover, in order to establish his authority, this guy killed far more pirates than he killed ordinary people.
In a sense, it can be said to be a roundabout way of saving the country.
However, when everything is over, Colin will still give the other party the chance he deserves.
Suddenly, the submarine paused. When Colin was wondering, the voice of the nano-machine appeared in his ears:
"Mr. Colin, several control rods in the submarine's reactor have reached their limit. The remaining time is estimated to be twelve hours and fifty-seven minutes..."
"Control rods? Aren't there any backups on the submarine?"
Colin doesn't know much about this thing, but generally speaking, there should be backups of this thing.
"Yes, but before we came, these backup 'control rods' had been damaged and corroded , making them difficult to use. The rest of the ones on the pirate ships are not compatible with this submarine and are also unusable. Their submarines also need maintenance..."
"Well, a dozen hours is enough."
Colin thought about it and thought that if nothing unexpected happened, there should be no problem reaching the second port.
But he didn't expect that when they arrived at the right distance and time, everyone used the "Book of Numerology: Fragments" again and found that something seemed wrong with this second port.
【……】
[Walking in this special town, you are sent to find a control rod, but soon discover that this port does not have the model you need, but it is not a big problem because you plan to preach here. ]
[It’s just that you and your colleagues are about to find a suitable place to spread the word, but then you feel something is wrong. ]
[You suddenly see your colleague "It's so hard to come up with a name" walking a little unsteadily, and you are about to ask him what's wrong, but your head feels dizzy and your brain hurts, as if something is gnawing at your brain.]
[In the extremely unspeakable pain, you see the throat of "It's so hard to give it a name" throbbing, followed by multiple red tentacles covered with mucus drilling out...]
【He seems to be infected and invaded by something. 】
[A little further away, a battle suddenly breaks out. You see a huge amount of flames rising into the sky. Brother Shunzi, bathed in flames, seems to be facing a formidable enemy and is fighting something terrifying.]
[But you don’t have time to be shocked or think about what happened, because at this moment, you know that you are powerless to change the situation...]
[You see many things coming towards you, and you are unwilling to die so easily. At the very end, you take out the super artwork that is the result of all your hard work and is theoretically equivalent to 500 TNT.]
[The gorgeous art that you have not seen is resounding here at this moment. 】
【You are dead.】
…
"Arsonist-Taotie" rubbed his temple while telling the news he had received.
"It's cold again?"
Ke Lin watched the other person rub his forehead, and he rubbed his forehead too.
He didn't expect that the two neighboring cities seemed to be attacked by some kind of enemy.
"In the two instances of the 'Book of Numerology', my teammates died because of parasitism or infection. What is it that is attacking the humans here? Judging from the two indirect clues, it is quite powerful. Even I have to be cautious."
Several thoughts flashed through his mind, and Colin waved his hand to signal the submarine, which the pirates called "Deep Sea Narwhal", to stop.
"How long can our submarine last?"
"About six hours."
"Six hours."
Colin looked at the tied up dwarf Peter and said, "Besides this port and the closest one you mentioned before, where else can there be other ports within six hours?"
"Within six hours?" The dwarf didn't understand, but still asked to be untied. He took out the nautical chart to compare it, and then looked at it through the precision instrument.
"there is none left."
“Crack.”
Colin turned the cylinder of the revolver in his hand, and Peter looked surprised. He suddenly thought of something:
"I remember that the 'Pirate City' passed by here not long ago. If you don't mind, it can be considered a seaport. Let's calculate the distance. We can get there within five hours, not even six hours..."
"Passing by? Didn't you say that seaports are usually stationed on islands in the water that don't move?"
"No, I mean the vast majority... There is also a small part that moves, like the 'Wandering City'. It was transformed into a mobile place by a great pirate, and is also called the 'Paradise City for Wandering Pirates'. There are a lot of pirates, federal fugitives, etc..."
Peter said in panic, "If nothing unexpected happens, the 'Pirate City' will be parked there for a few days to rest. If you want to go there to replace the 'control rod', there is one there as well."
"Then... let's go to the 'Wandering City' you mentioned."
Colin thought about it and finally made a choice - or rather, he had no choice at all.
Whether they were looking for believers there or not, they had to repair the submarine first. If there was no "control rod" in the second port, he would have wanted to break in, steal the "control rod" and run away.
But since the robbers in that "Pirate City" have it, it's okay to just go there and rob it and run away.
This time, just three hours later, they detected the outline of an extremely large water island from the radar -
"Wandering City".
This time, Colin couldn't even use the "Book of Numerology: Fragments" because although the users were from different parties, it seemed that...
He had an inexplicable premonition that the third person who used it might cause something bad to happen.
It's not that the "Dice of Probability" will be triggered, but something else...
Something is likely to follow some kind of guidance, lock onto them, and hunt them down directly.
This feeling is very strong.
Colin knew very well that when using the "Book of Numerology: Fragments" to observe others, there was a certain probability that he would be observed by the enemy.
At the beginning, "0-09·Hunger" had directly attacked him based on the "Book of Numerology·Fragments".
This time, the two uses are related to the same anomaly, and it is possible that it has attracted the attention of something.
