0929 Chapter 18: The rise and fall of the turbulent times in the intervening years
"Quickly! These lines of people will breed and spread. I'm afraid we don't have much time!" Da Sima exclaimed and turned around and ran out of the office hall.
The remaining three people looked at each other and ran out without hesitation.
They are old and frail, and they are afraid like all mortals. But they will not make wrong or stupid decisions, nor will they hesitate because of fear.
It is precisely because they were able to overcome their fears and make decisive choices again and again that they climbed to where they are today. The Dayong Empire was never a place where idiots with empty backgrounds could rise to power.
Just after running a few steps out of the door, those thin lines appeared in the corridor. Da Sima, who was running at the front, even came to catch up and saw a section of waist and abdomen that was finally broken down into thin lines.
But he didn't stop at all, he just slowed down his pace slightly to avoid accidentally touching those fatal filaments due to being in too much haste.
He couldn't stop. Maybe it wouldn't be long before they missed their last chance to escape.
At the end of the corridor on the other side, the cabin door that was originally guarded by guards around the clock was now empty. The door was wide open. Da Sima cautiously put his head in and said to the three colleagues following him:
"Be careful, the front doesn't seem to be polluted yet. My prediction was correct. This is the chord of the submarine, and the part that bends inward is the steel frame ladder leading to the upper level. As long as it is a submarine, we will definitely be able to
Find the bridge up there..."
As he said that, he looked back, but all the words he wanted to say were swallowed back.
Only two of the three people following him were left at this moment. Without making any sound, Master Taifu disappeared without a trace.
And from the expression on Zuo Xiang's face, Da Sima knew that he absolutely knew what happened.
Seeing Da Sima looking at him, Zuo Xiang just said with a gloomy face: "Hurry up."
Da Sima nodded and climbed onto the ship's ladder.
None of the three people had been to the cabin on the upper floor of the Luliang, but now they discovered that the structure was similar to the one where they lived, except that the small cabins they lived in had been changed into connected collective sailor dormitories.
Corresponding to the places where human lines appear in the lower corridor, there are also three different styles of thin lines. It can be seen that these lines have indeed penetrated the steel deck and extended further. However, compared with the lines that may have already
On the lower level of the blocked passage, the thin lines here are obviously more sparse.
"Be careful where you step," King Negi warned in a loud voice, but the words were unpleasant: "If someone blocks the road again like Taifu, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out even if we successfully control the submarine to return home."
The room at the end of the corridor corresponds to the upper floor of the office hall, and as expected, it is exactly where the bridge is located.
"There's something wrong," Zuo Xiang frowned: "No matter what, there shouldn't be no one here."
King Xiang pointed at the many thin lines in the corners of the room that led out from the lower level, and then continued through the bulkhead and the top deck to something further, and said with a bit of ridicule: "Isn't this an obvious thing?
"
Da Sima shook his head: "Theoretically, the number of people in this room should not be less than that in our office hall, but judging from the few people who were swallowed just now, these lines of people are so sparse that there may not be more than two or three people.
There is indeed something wrong with the quantity..."
Before Da Sima finished speaking, the whole room shook violently. The intensity was far more severe than a dozen earthquakes. The three of them felt like they were being shaken around like dice in a dice cup.
There are also obvious dents in the bulkhead.
The Prime Minister Zuo finally managed to hold on to the handle on the bulkhead to steady himself, and then he was hung there and was thrown violently. When the ship was stable, he grinned and said:
"Don't worry so much. No matter where they go, they won't help our current situation. Can you think of a way to see what's going on outside? Damn it, my arm seems to be dislocated..."
"It's just a dislocation... Just be satisfied and let me study it..." Da Sima stood up holding the console and started poking on it.
Looking at Da Sima's back, Zuo Xiang's pupils shrank, and he saw that his left calf was obviously bent outwards at a strange angle. As expected of a general with the highest military rank, he was seizing every second to implement effective measures without even humming.
Save yourself.
Obviously, controlling the submarine is more important than dealing with the calf injury.
Then I looked at King Fuxi, who had been following at the end, and saw that he seemed to have knocked his head down in the violent shock and was lying on the ground completely unconscious.
Even in this tragic situation, he was very lucky. After all, he had not been thrown into the human line by the ship's hull.
"The periscope cannot be opened. It seems to be blocked by something. The sonar indicates that there is something quite huge wrapped around the outside of the ship. Wait... Ha! I knew it! What's wrong with such cutting-edge equipment as the visual unmanned surveillance robot?
There may not be a similar setup!"
As Da Sima shouted excitedly, a series of switches were flipped. The entire ship vibrated slightly again, and then the screen hanging on the top of the Cambridge returned images captured by the surveillance robot outside.
"Is this...a dragon?" Zuo Xiang's mouth opened wide enough to fit a fist into his mouth. Even if he was in danger again, seeing this kind of scene was far beyond the limit that this important member of the imperial court could accept.
Looking back from the perspective of the deep-sea exploration camera, this submarine, which is as huge as a battleship, is surrounded by layers of layers of a mythical creature that is far larger than it.
Then, this huge creature with a face similar to that of the ocean overlord in Eastern mythology opened its big mouth and spat at the submarine hull.
There was no fire or ice. What was spit out from the dragon's mouth were countless colorful thin lines. They just floated in the water and shot towards the ship's hull, and then passed directly through, seemingly without causing any harm.
The left prime minister was really shocked. This was obviously beyond the scope of the "paradox phenomenon" that he understood. He had worked hard for the country for forty years to offend whom. First, he was thrown into this deep-sea submarine like a prisoner.
He was imprisoned in the same way, and then he had to be hunted down by a mythical creature that emerged from the underground abyss.
I feel so bitter...
Suddenly, he had an idea: Is this the [reckoning] that those supermen keep preaching? Is the arrival of the end reflected in this form?
"ah!!!"
Still in a state of confusion, the left prime minister suddenly heard a heart-rending scream.
When he went to seek his reputation, he saw the comatose King Fuxi being woken up by the pain.
Under him, a huge mouth opened, and what was devouring his body... was the escalator at the entrance of the bridge?
