Chapter 726: Intertwined Time and Space (please vote for this big chapter)
The bright sunlight shines on the quiet sea, and the gentle wind blows across the sea, setting off little rippling ripples.
A huge cargo ship pressed through the water and headed forward in the direction of the sun.
The old captain standing in the cab raised the telescope in his hand and stared at the scene in the distance.
In front of the ship, at the end of the field of vision, a seemingly vast and boundless thick fog blocked the way forward.
"How far are we from Newland Harbor?"
The captain put down the telescope in his hand and looked at the young crewman beside him who was operating the instrument.
"Less than twenty miles, sir."
The young crew member raised his head and glanced ahead. The vast thick fog could be clearly seen without a telescope. "Behind that thick fog should be the city-state of Newland."
"Can you contact Newland Harbor?"
The captain continued to pick up the telescope and asked in a low voice.
"could not be reached."
The young crew member responded quickly, "We have received no reply to all our outgoing calls."
He hesitated for a moment, looked at the thick fog, and said slowly, "This fog looks a bit weird."
On the vast sea, there are various mysterious legends circulating.
Facing the unknown waves and unknown monsters in the deep sea, people sailing on the sea will more or less believe in fate and gods.
They have taken this route so many times, but they have never seen such heavy fog around the city-state of Newland.
"May the goddess of storm and luck protect us,"
The captain sighed softly, and then whispered, "Reduce the speed and move closer slowly."
The huge cargo ship slowly sailed across the sea, passing far away from the islands and reefs scattered around the sea, and disappeared little by little into the thick fog.
And just after most of the ship's hull was submerged in the thick fog, the radio station on the operating platform suddenly rang.
The captain immediately picked up the radio and said, "Hello, this is the Acorn Tree, please say."
A slightly noisy voice came from the intercom,
"This is Port Velen. There is an unusually thick fog near the city-state of Newland. Please do not enter the dense fog area near the city-state of Newland. I repeat, please... sizzle... don't... sizzle... enter
The captain raised his head, looked at the glass window of the cab that was covered by thick fog, and fell into a brief silence.
There was no more human voice coming from the radio, only a rustling background noise.
"Captain, the satellite positioning system has lost contact!"
A crew member in the back immediately shouted loudly.
"Where's the radar?!"
The first officer standing on the other side immediately shouted, "Is there any effect on the radar?"
"Radar... radar has no effect,"
A crew member looked at the radar control screen, swallowed, and said in a hoarse voice, "The radar shows that there is nothing around."
The entire cab fell into a brief silence.
There couldn't be nothing around them. Not far in front of them, there was an archipelago city-state composed of five main islands.
"Slow down and turn around, full left rudder, let's get out of here immediately!"
The captain turned to the radio in his hand, looked at the thick fog that had covered the entire ship, and shouted loudly.
The helmsman immediately turned the rudder like a whirlwind.
The entire huge ship began to turn according to the deflection of the steering gear.
boom--
A roar of thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.
The originally calm sea surface began to rise and fall rapidly and violently.
The heavy ship began to sway up and down, and seawater surged up from one side, slapping on the side of the ship, and then fell back to the sea. The entire ship gradually lost control.
"A storm, a storm!"
Some young crew members on the ship shouted uncontrollably.
Huge amounts of seawater fell from the sky like raindrops, splashing on the surface of the cab window.
Under the power of sea and storm, this huge ship is as light as a goose feather falling into the water, and it will be capsized by wind and waves at any time.
At this time, the captain pushed the helmsman aside and reached out to hold the rotating steering gear.
The rocking ship rocked the old captain's body around, the undulating sea surface crossed the flat deck, and the wavy sea water rushed across the deck surface and flowed down from all sides.
boom--
Glittering thunder streaked across the dense fog, roaring like the anger of a god.
"Look, what is that?"
One crew member grasped the edge of the wall and pointed overhead.
In the thick clouds and fog, it seemed as if something huge and long was passing by.
"It's a train! It's a train!"
Someone in the crowd shouted, "A train traveling in the sky!"
!”
"Oh my god, the train is flying in the sky, am I going to die?"
"A miracle! A miracle! The Storm Goddess save us!"
"Mom, I want to go home..."
······
In the midst of the panic and commotion, the old captain calmly held the steering wheel and stared at the train passing through the clouds. The train was not moving very fast, as if it was waiting for them.
"Follow that car!"
Without hesitation, the old captain suddenly turned the steering gear and returned to the right direction.
At this moment, it was too late to turn the ship around. The giant ship moved forward in the undulating waves, following the trajectory of the train in the mist, and sailed into the deepest part of the storm.
After an unknown amount of time, the violent storm seemed to gradually subside, leaving only the sound of sea water dripping from the side of the ship.
Dots of light appeared in the thick fog ahead, and as the giant ship moved forward, the last wisp of mist parted from it.
The bright sunshine finally shined on the water-splashed windows again.
At some point, the 'guiding' train in front had disappeared, leaving only the shining sunlight shining on the sparkling sea.
"We survived."
"Did we get through the fog?"
"Is this Newland Harbor?"
There were low sighs from the crowd, like sobs.
The captain holding the steering wheel swayed and almost fell down. He held the edge of the steering wheel, picked up the telescope, and looked around.
There is no huge island looming ahead, only the endless sea.
"This is Port Velen, the Acorn Tree, can you hear me? Please note, please do not enter the outskirts of Newland City..."
A rustling human voice still came from the dropped radio.
The old captain staggered to the door, opened the driver's cab door, held his hands on the side of the ship, and looked ahead, the boundless sea fell into his eyes.
He turned around, and behind him was a hazy fog with many shadows.
This is not Newland Harbor, but a place not far from where they just entered the thick fog.
They followed the train 'through' the thick fog, but they did not reach behind the thick fog, and instead returned to the starting point.
At this moment, the old captain's eyes fell on a small island in the distance.
He picked up the telescope and looked there.
An old stone house that looked to be at least a hundred years old stood on the island, and in front of the door of the stone house, on the edge of the sea, stood a tall and thin figure.
His eyes were staring into the depths of the thick fog, as if he was thinking about something.
And almost at the same time that the old captain noticed the figure, the figure also seemed to notice that the old captain was looking at him. He turned his head, looked in the direction of the old captain, and nodded slightly to the old captain.
The old captain slowly put down the telescope, took off the tight hat fixed on his head, leaned slightly in that direction, and bowed.
Then he put away his hat and walked slowly back to the cab.
······
The undulating seawater lapped at the rocks under his feet. He Ao withdrew his gaze from the giant ship and stared again at the thick fog covering the entire city-state.
After he got rid of the monster, he rushed over and saw the thick fog.
In the deepest part of the thick fog, it does not lead to the city-state of Newland, but to a chaotic space curtain.
There, the space is chaotic and broken, the front may be the back, the left may be the right.
He just used this characteristic to control the Velora to test the space structure in the dense fog, and at the same time, he took the Acorn Tree out of the dense fog.
Of course, he can do this because the Velora, as a space shuttle object, is very sensitive to the stability of the space structure and can effectively utilize areas where the direction is disordered but the space structure still maintains a certain stability.
If other people entered the thick fog rashly, they would easily get lost in the chaotic space and be buried by the storm.
Even He Ao did not enter the deepest part of the dense fog, but only took advantage of the chaos in the outer space.
In fact, he originally wanted to use the Velora to bypass the thick fog and see if he could directly enter the city-state of Newland.
But he failed.
In fact, not only the thick fog, but also the entire dense fog, the Newland city-state wrapped in the thick fog, has been completely filled with chaotic space.
Even the Velora cannot reach such a chaotic area of space.
According to He Ao's current experience, the principle of Velora traveling through time and space is to take a 'shortcut' by borrowing some kind of inner space that is not in the outer world.
Every time the Velora 'travels', there is a process of 'descent' to the inner space and then 'rising' to the surface space.
But now the chaotic space in Newland City State makes it impossible for the Velora to float normally, and it is unable to reach its destination and enter Newland City State.
He Ao's eyes were fixed on the huge fog that enveloped a city-state.
This kind of fog and chaotic space is obviously not something that a B-level can create.
The person who created all of this was probably at least an angel.
He Ao turned around and walked into the stone house behind him.
——
Newland city-state
He Ao pushed the door open, raised the bone sword in his hand, and cut off the crab-like monster with eyes on its abdomen in front of him with one sword.
He glanced at the shivering little boy hiding in the corner beside him and said, "There are military police on the street outside, gathering people. Go quickly."
The little boy looked at He Ao tremblingly, he still seemed a little hesitant and afraid.
"By the way," He Ao looked at his cheek and reached out to touch his head, "Don't open any closed doors, just go ahead."
"Um!"
The little boy looked at He Ao's cheek stained with blood, nodded, then quickly got up and ran out of the room.
In front of him, all the doors were open and blocked with tables, benches and other objects.
He Ao withdrew his gaze and looked in front of him. At this moment, a closed door was standing in front of him.
This is the back entrance to this hall.
He reached out his hand and slowly opened the door.
Behind the door is not the street that should appear, but a cold and damp 'secret room'. This 'secret room' has metal walls. Tumor-like flesh balls are crawling all over the walls like ivy. They are as neat as breathing.
contraction and expansion.
And as He Ao pushed open the door, a scorpion-like flesh-and-blood monster nearly half a meter long rushed out from the gap in the flesh ball, flew through the door, and stabbed He Ao in the face.
The white sword light flashed past, splitting the flying scorpion into two.
He Ao glanced at the secret room in front of him where a flesh and blood ivy was crawling, then took a step forward and crossed the door.
Then the scene in the entire secret room flickered and collapsed in an instant, revealing a somewhat cramped small street. The towering Maple Leaf Hotel stood not far from this street.
Dim street lights illuminated the streets, and the bright moon and stars remained motionless overhead.
He Ao stared at the street, raised his gaze slightly, and looked into the depths of the street.
This wasn't the first secret room to 'collapse' before his eyes.
Ever since the night sky was stuck in the pre-dawn mirror image, various monsters began to appear in the city-state of Newland.
These monsters hide behind certain closed 'doors'.
Once a certain door is opened, scenes similar to different spaces will appear behind the door, and the 'monsters' hidden in these different spaces will rush out from behind the door, enter the real world, and start attacking people.
These scenes in different spaces usually don't last long, basically just a few seconds, but the monsters rushing out of the different spaces are real.
According to the information collected by Chen Lin, at the beginning, these 'different space scenes' lasted for a shorter time, disappearing almost in the blink of an eye, and the scope was smaller. Unlike now, almost every push
If you open a door, you may encounter this kind of strange space.
There are more and more monsters on the streets.
He Ao was killed from the Maple Leaf Hotel when monsters first appeared on the street. When he first came out, there was only one monster in seven or eight nearby streets. Now, almost every street can be assigned a monster.
And just when He Ao was thinking, under the shadow of the street lamp, a monster with long arms, similar to a leech, squirmed out and pounced sideways towards He Ao's face.
The white sword light flashed past and cut off the monster.
He Ao took a look at the monster's body. In principle, he could use the jade pendant to sacrifice the monster and absorb it, but the jade pendant was full after eating the power given to West by the God of Chaos.
It cannot absorb other energy for the time being.
His footsteps did not stop, and he continued to move forward past the monster's body.
"He department, He department, are you there? I'm here at the Moonlight Branch now. Are you still near the Maple Leaf Hotel?"
At this time, Chen Lin's voice sounded from the wireless intercom on He Ao's chest.
He Ao picked up the walkie-talkie and glanced at the street sign on the side of the road. He raised his other hand and used the sharp bone sword to cut a monster hiding in the darkness into two pieces.
"I'm on Little 11th Street next to the Maple Leaf Hotel. The concentration of monsters here is very high. There may be a fixed spot where monsters appear nearby. It should not be far from me."
"He Department, those doors that suddenly lead to different spaces not only allow monsters to come out, but also allow people here to pass through. On the way to the Moonlight Branch, I heard many missing cases. Some people said they saw their children walking through the door.
Then he disappeared."
Chen Lin said quickly.
Is it a two-way channel?
Thoughts flashed through He Ao's mind quickly, then he picked up the walkie-talkie and continued, "Have you met the person in charge of Moonlight?"
At this moment, his footsteps have reached the end of this small street.
A rusty iron door opened in front of him. This was not a space for human life, but a dark corridor covered with dried blood stains.
A wriggling flesh ball emerged from the darkness. It seemed to have discovered He Ao standing at the door. A gap opened in the middle of its body, revealing sharp triangular teeth.
"I just met her," Chen Lin said quickly on the intercom, "She wants to contact you directly."
The meat ball monster stared at He Ao, and a ferocious and greedy scream came from its mouth. The next second, the squirming meat ball rushed out of the darkness and pounced on He Ao, like a delicious meat cake.
"Minister Heao, I am Moonlight...Fiya...we...need...to cooperate."
The woman's gentle but broken Chinese dialect came from the intercom.
"We might need to meet and talk,"
He Ao casually pierced the meat ball that was rushing toward him with his sword, threw it aside, and replied in fluent Tia, "Do you have transportation? It's not convenient for me to move around here, so you can come directly to the Maple Leaf Hotel.
?”
His eyes looked towards the deep and dark corridor.
The corridor behind this door seems to last much longer than other 'different space scenes', and seems to be a more stable different space passage than other doors.
He Ao thought for a moment, stretched out his hand, and tried to find his way into the corridor.
And the moment he stretched out his hand to explore the door, the entire dark corridor flickered for a moment, and then instantly shattered, revealing the scene of the oil-stained kitchen paired with the rusty iron door.
"We have a helicopter, wait a moment, we will be here right away."
While He Ao was operating, Feiya's reply came from the intercom at the same time.
"good."
He Ao nodded.
At the same time, he took back his hand that had reached through the door, thoughtfully.
This 'channel' doesn't seem that stable.
He raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky.
So, these dense ‘different space passages’ are the reason for the spatial chaos in this area?
