Under the deep water, the deep diver who had escaped for some distance was hovering there.
The pitch-black muzzle was raised and aimed at the Northern Faith, which was accelerating away.
The corpse in the cab has bright eyes. There is a living soul in his body, and it is definitely not a cold remains.
The cannonball fired just now did not hit the hull of the Northern Faith, but just passed by. In addition, the age-old artillery of the old sailing ship was far less powerful than the cannon of today's ironclad ships. Even if it hit, it could not damage the opponent.
However, the impact caused the cruise ship to tilt, and the ship lost its balance for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, the corpse's right hand was raised, and the next moment inside the deep diver's hull, the painted skin insects gathered together and penetrated into various floating dead skins, supporting them like skeletons and becoming a creature under the ocean.
The living undead.
The undead began to push the artillery, aiming all the muzzles at the Northern Faith.
Even the most backward weapons can cause serious damage to cruise ships under intensive attack.
However, at this most tense moment, a voice came from the depths of the sea of silence.
The corpses in the captain's cabin stopped, and he never gave the final order to fire to the painted bugs.
In the end, the deep divers dived into the abyss and finally abandoned the cruise ship full of passengers, sparing the lives of more than a thousand people.
…
After a long time, the cruise ship was not attacked again, and First Officer Clark finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The first thing he did was to rush to the pilothouse on the top floor of the ship, where he found Victor and Rianlong, and saw the human skin of Morgan Sparrow on the ground.
This scene was so frightening that First Officer Clark almost lost his balance and collapsed.
Who would have thought that the superiors he spends day and night with are always terrifying monsters in human skin?
remember……
The first mate kept recalling when the problem happened. They sailed all the way from the western continent along the islands and reefs. Captain Morgan didn't experience any abnormalities. Why did he come here...
"Although the rudder has not been burned, it does seem to be faulty. It needs to be repaired by engineers." Li Anlong inspected the rudder and then said to the first mate.
Just as Clark was about to answer something, someone came up and reported to him that the cruise ship was still tilting and there was no way to adjust it.
Because two ballast tanks could no longer be used, Chief Clark decided to throw part of the cargo into the sea after inspection.
Now that there is no captain, he is the new captain, so no one dares to go against his decision, except those passengers in VIP rooms.
Throw goods? Whose goods are thrown away? Who is willing to accept losses?
After a fierce argument, First Officer Clark finally used force to make the passengers surrender.
After reducing the weight of the cruise ship, the cruise ship finally began to float. Without those weird roots, it became possible to repair the ballast tanks.
That night, the shipping crew barely rested. Finally, at the moment the sun rose, the Northern Faith adjusted, returned to the scheduled route, and began to sail eastward.
At noon the next day, people once again saw the coastline of the Indong continent. The deck was full of cheers. Everyone finally escaped from the terrible nightmare and survived.
People hugged each other, kissed, and prayed... Many crew members came to thank Victor. They knew that it was the young Intelligence Bureau agent who had managed to drive away the Deep Divers.
However, there was only one person to whom no one expressed thanks and gratitude, and that was Clark Hugo.
During this crisis, he made many key decisions, which allowed the ship to sail back safely, but he also offended many people and lost their property and even lives.
The cruise ship arrived at the port of San Fran two days later, and the passengers on the ship left the coast one after another. At the same time, the Northern Faith never set off again because the cruise company was accused, Chief Officer Clark and some of the crew were controlled, and they were about to face prosecution.
.
…
"I think you made the right choice, Mr. First Mate."
On the day they docked, Victor and Clark discussed their next plans.
Clark also knew that he would soon be sued by passengers, but he had no regrets.
"I know I will do it again, Mr. Watson... I will definitely not be able to do this job anymore. I am lucky to be exempted from prison, but I am still very lucky that at least we can all come back alive.
"
The sea breeze on the deck was gentle, and the seagulls landed on the edge of the ship. Clark stared at them with a charitable smile on his face.
"I will testify for you." Victor patted him on the shoulder. "Although I am not a judge, I believe that my identity as the assistant minister of the Ministry of Defense and Suppression will give my testimony a little weight."
After he finished speaking, he walked off the deck. Clark behind him was stunned, staring at Victor's back in surprise.
Victor raised his hand and shook it, but did not turn around: "You will become a good captain. I have a hunch that there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."
…
Secred, the northern state of Valonkenya, the papal city of Zeya, a dossier was sent to the majestic and towering Holy See of the Purists.
Someone opened the secret volume, read the contents carefully, and immediately let out an angry roar.
Later, in the conference room, the archbishops gathered together and began to discuss the matters in the dossier.
That is about the issue of Lilqua, Canada, as well as the issue of the Davis family and the bat-winged demons in the dead country.
The missing seat on the long table is the seat of the female bishop Isabelle Chardeau Roland. Due to some special reasons, she is unable to attend such an occasion now.
"I think..." one of them spoke, "the White Crown must be warned, and they must fulfill their duties."
Another bishop sitting opposite him nodded: "Slavery must be abolished, and the southern and eastern factions must be severely punished."
The result of this meeting was that telegrams were sent from Zeya to White Crown for several days.
In the six towering towers, the information department worked hard to translate the contents of the secret report and sent it to the office of the Supreme President.
All the information gathered together shows the tough attitude of the forces led by the Holy See in the northern states.
"The slave states colluded with gangs to transport and trade slaves on the land of the abolition states. The Davis family used them as a cover to secretly develop the appalling death state. Fortunately, the Department of Defense and the military dealt with it in time and eliminated the threat.
Killed in the cradle..." Behind the president's desk, a smiling middle-aged man with a baby face sat behind the president's desk. He simply concluded after reading those letters.
There was a man in formal attire in front of him. Unlike his expression, he was quite serious: "The Holy See threatened to reconsider your support for the election, and also threatened to declare war on the southern states... Mr. President, how should we reply to them?"
?”
The guy behind the desk raised his legs and put them on the table. It was very indecent and completely inconsistent with his identity.
But soon, he gave a solution: "What is collusion and not collusion? Just tell those rigid old antiques that these are all done by the Rockefeller Company and have nothing to do with the southern states or the east!"
