Chapter 690 The coming storm

2days ago traverse Novels 5
The coast of Haiya Province.

It is completely different from the pleasant and bustling Silver Moon Bay.

This blood-soaked beach will only emit a more pungent rotten smell in the sun than the fishy smell. There is no fertile soil with milk and honey flowing here, but only shocking fear and death.

Near the Howling Rock next to the Death Coast, the cold and wet leeward side was now chirping and noisy.

A group of blue-skinned humanoid creatures with scales and gills recited obscure eulogies, praying for the hunting that will begin today under the leadership of the priest.

Two strong monsters walked to the cage half-soaked in the sea, skillfully opened the cage, and pulled the dying man out of it.

Soaked in sea water all day long, the skin on his neck was already ulcerated and sore, and the agitation of blood vessels seemed to jump out from under the cracked skin.

The two monsters carried him onto the beach, threw him among the praying monsters, and retreated aside.

Listening to the strange screams around him, the man tried to get up from the ground, but he couldn't exert any effort on his body, and the parts of his body seemed to be not his own.

He hadn't eaten for three days, and he was seriously dehydrated. His tranced spirit might float to another world at any time, and he couldn't even make a sound of begging for mercy.

Seeing the guy dying, the monsters with scales around him shouted excitedly and even danced.

This shows that the ancestors who had escaped into the waves accepted their tribute, and the surging waves swept away the essence of the prey, and the weakness of the sacrifice is the best proof!

And now there is only the last step left

...The dirty blood will sprinkle the beach to comfort the souls of our ancestors.

Reciting the priest's spell of sacrifice, the mud on his face walked up to him, stretching out his thin and powerful arms to grab him from the ground.

Without waiting for his reaction, it slit his throat and chest with a sharp flint, letting blood gush on the black sand.

Those twisted figures were like little devils cheering and screaming in hell.

They pounced on the corpse, smearing mud and sand mixed with blood on their foreheads and chests as a symbol of getting the blessings of ancestors.

If it were survivors living in the Yunjian Province, they would definitely be familiar with these blue-skinned guys who held bloody rituals.

They are the aquatic mutants that make countless fishermen and sailors scared to talk!

These guys who move along the coastline are even more difficult to deal with than their green-skinned compatriots. They are cruel, barbaric, and cunning. When they encounter lonely wasteland tourists, they will rush over to tear them apart, and when they encounter tough guys, they will turn around and run away without saying a word.

They have less ingredients about humans and more ingredients for wild animals than terrestrial mutants.

It is precisely because of this that few aquatic mutants can form large tribes of ten thousand people, mostly living in the form of villages.

Due to the wider range of activities and recipes, their desire for mammals is not as strong as their green-skinned fellows, and the attacks on humans are usually only out of the instinct of hatred and the need for sacrifice and reproduction.

But it would be a big mistake to think that they are more kind and gentle than green-skinned guys.

It is precisely because they do not regard humans as their main source of food that they are talented in wasting food, and even the bloodthirsty green skin can't help but frown when they see it.

In fact, there were no aquatic mutants here before the Torch Church set foot on this land.

The militia organized by the Tower patrol the coastline and found a nest to smash one, even more active than the military contractors who took money to do business in the Yunjian Province, so few aquatic mutants could gain a foothold in this area.

However, everything has changed since the Torch Church came here.

Those charlatans used the kingdom of heaven to manipulate ordinary humans who became captives of Nago, and for those mutants who were not controlled by Nago, they used what the latter desires as bait to sign a covenant with them.

In just over ten years, the coastline of Haiya Province has completely become a breeding ground for aquatic mutants.

Especially in the Howling Rock area, it has almost become the world of these monsters with fish scales. Even cargo ships from the East Coast dare not approach this sea area easily.

The priest who completed the ceremony stood quietly on the shore and put the blood-stained flint into the dirty cloth bag.

At this moment, its pupils suddenly shrank and looked at the rocky beach.

I saw a phantom bathed in golden light standing there, like a god walking out of the waves of the rising and rising tides.

The mutants around him turned a blind eye to the existence of the golden phantom, as if they could not see him.

The same is true.

Only the selected person who has been implanted with the chip can look at the indescribable existence.

The elderly priest lowered his body tremblingly and knelt on one knee.

Watching the ugly guy, Arzu slowly spoke.

Do something for me.

The mutant priest said respectfully.

Please give me instructions.

Arzu continued.

Go west along the coast and then south, and you will see a strait, on the north shore there is a human village.

Kill them all, and leave no one behind!

A village of humanity!

Hearing this sentence, a trace of excitement and bloodthirsty light flashed in the priest's eyes.

It bent down respectfully and put its bruised scales on the blood-stained beach.

yes!

When it raised its head again, the light golden light had disappeared, and only the surging tides and waves were left on the beach covered with reefs.

It stood up from the ground, looked at the tribesmen who were lying on the beach for the favor of their ancestors, and let out a shrill and sharp howl.

The sound was like a war drum. Not only did the tribes crawling on the beach straighten up, but also faces covered with scales poked behind Howling Rock.

The blue scales gathered towards the beach, and in a moment there were thousands of people.

The weapons in their hands are varied, including harpoons, fishing nets, wooden sticks with hooks and shields made of turtle shells.

In addition to these simple weapons, some elite tribes also carry harpoon guns, iron short cannons, tubular mine launchers and even assault rifles.

Most of these weapons were seized from humans, and some were DIYed by them using parts from ship wreckage.

Seeing the gathering of more and more tribe members, the priest let out a shrill roar again.

enemy!On the south side!

Along the coastline!Can find their village!

Go to the battle!

The muddy pupils were lit up by the desire for blood, and the roar was a more fanatical and bloodthirsty howl.

Aaa!

Looking at the excited young men, the priest's face was filled with a frenzy and sick smile, and his dry hands were trembling with excitement.

finally

The real sacrifice is about to begin!

……

French Fries Port.

On the edge of the golden beach, the emerald green palm leaves sway gently with the sea breeze, making a peaceful and peaceful scene.

Under the mottled shade, a simple shed made of hay and coconut shells were scribbled with several paint-black chases that were out of place with the surrounding scenery.

The fan of the chassis is buzzing, and the light blue holographic light and shadow intertwined on the disc-shaped imaging device to form a three-dimensional image that is constantly flashing.

What is displayed in the holographic screen at this moment is the holographic structure diagram of the horn-type engineering armor designed by Sanctuary No. 100.

This thing is the most advanced onshore multi-functional construction equipment in the alliance at present. Even companies that have completed the magnificent project of Ideal City are amazed by its exquisite design and admired it as a miracle born in the sewer.

Although this title exudes an indescribable sense of superiority, there is no doubt that even the engineers of Ideal City were slightly shocked by this thing.

Obviously, this shock is the same for the engineers in Coral City.

Looking at the holographic image unfolding in front of him, the middle-aged man wearing flat-glass showed a surprised expression on his face, and then looked at Fang Chang standing aside and asked.

Incredible design…is this your refuge made?

His name is Zhou Zhehui, he is a survivor of Coral City and one of the designers of Electric Rays underwater automatic welding of unmanned boats.

Since joining the alliance some time ago, he used the professional equipment and editing software provided by the scientific research team to copy the drawings of the electric ray unmanned boat to Meng Liang and the others, and then joined the scientific research team of the alliance with the recommendation of the latter.

The shape of the thing is similar to a real electric ray. It is like a flat fan that can squirm forward on the seabed hundreds of meters deep, grab building materials with suction cups in the lower abdomen, and perform dangerous underwater welding operations instead of divers.

According to the drawings he provided, ten samples were tested for automated production workshop on the B7th floor of Sanctuary No. 404. It has been sent to the French Fries Port by the Niuma airship and has been put into construction of the subsea freshwater transport pipeline from French Fries Port to the circular island.

Judging from the feedback from the construction staff, this unmanned boat called Electric Ray is indeed easy to use, and the construction speed is more than three times faster than that of the power-based cattle and horses.

The managers soon approved the production plan of 100 electric ray unmanned boats again and made an exception to arrange their line-up in front of the production queue. Soon, more electric ray unmanned boats will be airlifted to the French Fries Port to participate in the construction of ports and submarine pipelines.

Currently, this Zhou Gong’s daily job is to guide the technicians sent by the alliance to master the skills of using electric ray unmanned boats, including setting work goals and paths through automated programs installed on the terminal, etc.

Since this work does not take much time, most of the time he is very idle and has nothing to do, so he can only wander around in his settlement.

It was also while wandering around that he happened to see the squid-style engineering armor installed in the construction queue on the French Fries Port, and he couldn't help but become curious about the big guy with a unique shape.

After learning about his interests, the alliance's scientific research team was not stingy. They directly copied the drawings and usage tutorials for him to use for some consideration.

After learning about this from the scientific research team, Fang Chang quickly thought of his design experience in underwater engineering equipment, so he immediately came over and asked him whether he could make some improvements based on the squid-type engineering armor to design and install an amphibious engineering armor that can be used underwater.

So, Zhou Zhehui turned out the drawings that had been read a lot and studied them again with a professional attitude.

However, no matter how many times he looked at it, he couldn't help but feel admiration and surprise.

What kind of harsh and harsh living environment has created such simple, efficient, bulky and flexible engineering armor.

After hearing his inquiry, Fang Chang coughed gently.

No, it was designed by residents of Shelter 100.

The creativity of the residents of Shelter No. 404 is mainly concentrated in the field of mind.

This kind of engineering equipment that has risen to the science fiction field is still a bit too advanced for players whose knowledge level is still in the realm.

After listening to Fang Chang's explanation, Zhou Gong's expression was even more surprised.

They joined you too?Refuge No. 100?

Is that true... do you know them?

Zhou Gong shook his head and said embarrassedly.

That's not the case. The shelter that we had had an intersection with was the Shelter No. 117, and it was mainly the Blue Jacket of Shelter No. 70 that was in contact with them.As for us, we have just heard of their existence, but we don’t know much.

He paused, and he continued to ask curiously.

What kind of people are they?Like the residents of Shelter 70?

Fang Chang said with a subtle expression.

The difference is quite big... A lot of things happened to them, and in the end the survivors turned themselves into bionics.

Zhou Zhehui was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to give an ambiguous evaluation.

That... is a pity.

Fang Chang shrugged.

Every family has its own difficult sutras.

Although most NPCs in Wasteland OL have reservations about whether AI can be equivalent to humans, most players have an open view on this.

He is no exception, even more open than the general viewpoint.

After all, it's a game.

The NPC with AI in settings and the NPC with real people in settings. Aren’t it all AI for people in the real world?

Moreover, the AI ​​technology of this game has advanced to the point of being fake and real.

If he did not deliberately think about those profound philosophical issues, he would be used to treating them equally and treating them as real people who only live once.

Zhou Zhehui sighed softly and said.

I really want to communicate with them, whether it is academic or about us... I just don’t know how many people they have inherited by becoming bionics. I always feel that it is a bit strange to discuss the future of human beings with AI.

I feel that the difference between them and humans is not very big. You may be able to chat. After a pause, Fang Chang coughed lightly and reminded, "So... the modification matter."

After hearing this reminder, Zhou Zhehui smiled embarrassedly and quickly put the topic back on technology.

I looked at it and found that there was no basic problem. Their sealing design was already very good. It only takes a redesign of the gas exchange system... Give me a week, or three days may be enough. I will get you an improvement plan as soon as possible.

Hearing that it was so fast, a surprise expression suddenly appeared on Fang Chang's face and said with a smile.

Then please!By the way, what do you think is the better name of this improved model?I will use it when I make a budget.

Obviously, this NPC is not very good at naming, so he scratched the back of his head and thought for a while.

But at this moment, his gaze fell on the beach not far away, and he saw several players struggling to drag a mutated sea crab that was two people tall to the shore.

Inspiration burst out from his mind instantly, not just about the name of the equipment, but also more design details.

He looked at Fang Chang with bright eyes.

Since it is amphibious engineering equipment.

Just call it "crab style"!

……

Players from France Fries Port have reached an agreement with the Federal Patrol, and the two sides have spent several days peacefully.

Although nothing special happened during this period of time, the changes in French Fries Port have not been small.

With the addition of Coral City engineers, the settlement is changing almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Under the leadership of the engineer named Li Shihao, the construction team responsible for port construction quickly joined the port construction work.

At the same time, with the assistance of electric ray unmanned boats, the subsea freshwater transport pipeline from French Fries Port to the circular island has advanced ten nautical miles.

During this period, the Niuma airship ran to Dawn City again.

Not only did it bring fifty electric ray unmanned boats that had just been completed, it also brought a batch of port-specific equipment produced by the Giant Stone City Factory.

Even if he is not optimistic about this small fishing village located on the north coast of the Baiyue Strait, Channing, the governor of the circular island, has to admit that this water supply pipeline is indeed possible as a replacement for seawater desalination devices, solving the urgent need for the residents of the island for their daily and industrial water use.

What he couldn't refuse was the price offered by Baiyue Provincial Development Co., Ltd.

Each cubic cube of tap water only requires 08 silver coins, while 1,000 cubic cube is 800 silver coins. The construction and maintenance of the pipeline are entirely undertaken by Baiyue Strait Development Co., Ltd.

The eight hundred silver coins are just the price of four LD-47 rifles. The residents on the ring island only use about 400 square meters of water a year. In terms of conversion, less than two assault rifles are, and the cost is even lower than before the Yang Current Power Station was destroyed!

Once the price of freshwater is reduced, it will not only mean that residents on the circular island will no longer have to endure the financial difficulties of taking a bath once a week, but it will also mean that a series of industries that have been shut down due to rising freshwater costs will also resume, and food production that originally needed subsidies to operate will also turn losses into profits.

After easily figuring out the accounts, Channing signed a contract with Baiyue Strait Development Co., Ltd. almost without hesitation, and signed it for ten years at a time.

As for Baiyue Company, although the profits seem to be a little small, it is definitely a cost-effective transaction from a long-term perspective.

After all, the freshwater resources in Baiyue Province are almost unlimited, and it is not possible to use any very dark technology to send this freshwater to the island, and the maintenance costs of pipelines are negligible.

In other words, as long as they repair this pipeline, they can almost make money while lying down.

Not only that, with this faucet in your hand, the French Fries Port will be firmly tied to the islands in the southern waters!

They will convince local survivors that they came to solve the problem, not to bring destruction and disaster to the land.

In addition to the projects carried out around economic work, the Alliance's military base and logistics warehouse in the highlands northwest of France Fries Port were also completed one after another.

Currently, it is the garrison of the Burning Corps and the Jungle Corps, and other corpses dispatched here may be stationed in the future.

In addition, players also deployed simple sentry towers and beachheads with machine guns and grenade launchers on higher terrain on both sides of the coast just south of France Fries Harbor to guard against possible threats on the coastline.

The investigation of the ruins of the current power station reminded the players here.

The Torch Church may have cultivated aquatic heterogeneity controlled by mental interference devices that can move under the sea.

The danger they face is not only from the rainforest in front of them, but also from the beach behind them.

Today's French Fries Harbor is like a busy construction site.

From under the sea to the beach, to the rainforest that is so close to you, there are always rumblings from morning to night.

As for the Dolphin parked near the port and the Coral City residents on the shore, the Federal Patrol sailors also followed the agreement and turned a blind eye to it, deliberately not seeing it.

As a reward for turning a blind eye, Baiyue Strait Development Co., Ltd. will give them an additional bonus every month.

Muda's attitude at first refused the money suspected to be bribery, and the rejection was righteous.

He promised to help the crew of the Dolphin escape from the pursuit not for money, but only out of conscience and justice in his heart.

However, Fang Chang finally convinced him and handed over the money that both sides had to the hands of the straightforward patrol captain.

...You just treat it as a reward for patroling. We are busy with construction and have no time to keep an eye on the surroundings.If you don't have any trouble, you can expand the patrol area westward by a hundred nautical miles. If there are pirates or plunderers approaching, remember to remind us.

After a pause, Fang Chang continued.

Moreover, even if you don’t want this money, you have to think about it for your brothers. It is risky to do it with you.

Looking at the stack of banknotes in his hand, Muda remained silent for a long time and said with a wry smile.

Do I think I have received two wages?

Fang Chang smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

What if you just treat it as a part-time job?Would it be a little better to think about it this way?

Mu Da took a deep look at the guy who made him sink deeper and deeper, and said nothing, stuffed the stack of money into his arms.

Just as he was about to go back to the speedboat, he suddenly thought of something and spoke.

By the way, I have to tell you something.

Fang Chang: What's the matter?

As if he was hesitating whether to talk about this, Muda paused for a moment and finally spoke.

The day after tomorrow there will be a maritime patrol exercise. Patrol teams from each island will participate in the waters near the North Island.

Fang Chang raised his eyebrows with interest.

Then what?

Muda said with a complicated expression.

There is a very abnormal point. The Federal Treasury Department did not make any arrangements for the duty tasks of each patrol area that day, nor did it mention whether the federal Navy will take over the patrol team for temporary duty for one day...

Fang Chang said with a smile.

In other words, even if it was smuggling that day, it would not be arrested?

Muda glanced at him.

Don't do this.

Just kidding, we are all good people who abide by the law and do only legal business. When we put away the smile on our faces, Fang Chang looked at him solemnly and said, "Thank you, this information is very important to us."

Someone intends to send the Federal Patrol away from this waters!

It seems that something that is inconvenient for others to see that day.

It is especially inconvenient for people in the Southern Islands to see it.

Retracting his gaze from his long face, Mu Da looked at the turbulent sea in the distance and said with a complicated expression.

I was just wondering if it was the Federal Navy that planned to conduct a surprise inspection on a certain patrol area, but doing so seemed too deliberate.Whether we are suspected or not, it is best for you to drive that submarine away in the past two days.

Fang Chang nodded seriously.

Well, I'll make arrangements now.
