All the elevators to the sixth floor of Atlantis are blocked. The teleportation device to the sixth floor stairwell seems to be broken. The teleportation device that Elaine can currently use is the teleportation device to the seventh floor.
.
But this also meant that he had to teleport to the stairwell on the seventh floor, then walk back, walk through the long path with lava, pass through the entire seventh underground floor, and return to the underwater city on the sixth floor.
Go inside.
And he also expected that the entrance to the seventh floor would be guarded by stalker guards.
When Edmund and Xury fled to the elevator together, they seemed to be attacked without explanation. The guards would attack whenever they saw a stranger approaching their checkpoint. Even if Elaine transformed into a stalker, they probably couldn't be fooled.
past.
To rescue Xuri, is fighting inevitable...
In this case, just knock down the enemy. It's okay not to kill him, right?
Elaine actually thought of several surprise plans. If they went well, the enemy could be defeated before entering the battle.
Elaine, who was teleported to the stairwell on the seventh floor, jumped directly onto one of the two iron cavalry left there. He turned on the concealment system, opened the protective cover, and flew back with the iron cavalry.
The lava world is as scorching as ever. But now Elaine can transform into a stalker and release cold air directly in the armor of the cavalry to resist the scorching heat. The boss of the sun prominence shrimp was also defeated by Elaine, and those monsters are currently
It seems to be quite peaceful, and there is no need to worry about them attacking for the time being.
While driving the iron cavalry back like this, Elaine was also preparing something. To put it simply, those were "poison, gas, and bombs."
He had previously verified that the sleeping poison gas produced by Mysterdin could simply put stalkers into a deep sleep. The gas did not even need to be inhaled into the lungs, it could make these half-murlocs faint just by contacting the skin.
As long as "poison, gas, and bombs" are used properly, the stalkers at the entire checkpoint can be brought down before they are discovered, thus avoiding a fierce battle.
In fact, Elaine has never been afraid of facing off against stalkers. But he doesn't want to kill people needlessly and add more hatred. What's more, if the battle is too noisy, it might attract more guards and turn into a war.
A more intense battle. Elaine didn't want to step on the corpses of hundreds and thousands of stalkers just to save one Xuri.
Since the prominence shrimps did not attack, Elaine traveled very smoothly along the way. It was so smooth that he didn't even notice it, and he walked most of the way. When he almost reached the exit, Elaine had already taken out the prepared "poison gas."
"Bomb" and prepare to launch it.
The so-called "poison, gas, and bombs" are actually high-pressure air balls concentrated by telekinesis. Naturally, the inside of the ball contains the "hypnotic poison gas" of Mysterdin. Elaine found that his White Lion transformation can also
When using (weak) telekinesis, everything suddenly becomes clearer, and all the combinations of moves that were originally unusable become usable. While maintaining the combat effectiveness of the orc transformation and using magic to further enhance one's strength, this
This is something Elaine never dared to think about before.
By the way, how did Edmund know that Elaine can use magic? Even Elaine herself didn't know about this?
Does Edmund know Elaine better than Elaine??
But how could it be? Shouldn't Edmund be just an ordinary lion man who happened to be saved by Elaine at the slave market in Montpellier and happened to follow him to help?
Why does he know a secret that even Elaine doesn't know, as if he has known Elaine a long time ago...?
Here we are. Elaine can even visually see the checkpoint thirty feet away from here. Five stalkers are guarding it.
Fortunately, their backs were turned to Elaine, and they were only defending against attacks from that side of the city. They probably never thought that Elaine would return from the seventh underground floor and attack them from behind. Moreover, the cavalry was invisible.
The tracking system is also in effect, and the sound of its navigation has not been heard. Even if a stalker is very alert and occasionally looks back, it is absolutely impossible to spot the iron cavalry that is thirty feet away and protected by optical camouflage.
Elaine then boldly moved ten feet closer. This was the first time he used the "poison gas bomb" and he didn't know how far its range could be. To be on the safe side, he wanted to get as close as possible - without being caught.
On the premise of discovery.
There are only fifteen feet left from the checkpoint. If you get closer, you will be in danger of being discovered. No matter how deaf the stalkers are, they will still hear the subtle engine sound of the cavalry.
So Elaine stopped the cavalry and fired the "poison, gas, and bombs" accordingly.
The ball of high-pressure air containing poisonous gas flew straight out, and then exploded on the ground at the checkpoint. The trajectory was more stable than Elaine imagined, and the range was probably at least thirty feet (so Elaine's worries just now were completely unnecessary!)
.
When the poisonous balloon exploded, the hypnotic poisonous gas, together with the diffusing high-pressure air, quickly filled the surrounding space. Before the Stalker guards had time to react, they were all swallowed up by the poisonous gas. After a few seconds, the five
Without exception, the guards lay down on the ground and fell asleep. They had no idea what had happened.
"Very, very good." Elaine jumped off the iron cavalry, parked it in a hidden rock wall cave near the checkpoint, and then used an ice wall to simulate the texture of the rock wall, completely hiding the iron cavalry.
At this time, Elaine has transformed into an ordinary stalker who has not been witnessed. He can easily sneak into the stalker city without being suspected.
But what about his equipment? He can indeed hide the tactical belt inside the wrapping cloth (crotch cloth) so that it cannot be seen. Although it will be more inconvenient to access the equipment, this is the only way for the time being.
The biggest problem is myopia. It’s impossible for him to pretend to be a stalker while wearing glasses, but he can’t see well in the distance without glasses (because of myopia). This problem is a vision defect caused by Elaine’s absolute field collapse, even if
Transforming into a stalker can't solve it, it's very troublesome.
...We can only take one step at a time.
The current primary goal is to find Xury. Xury rushes to the elevator room with Edmund, and then helps Edmund escape. It is already certain that he will be identified as involved in the escape of Elaine and others, and the murder of the elder.
fact.
At this time, it was foreseeable that Xury would be locked up somewhere and tortured. It was also foreseeable that the stalkers would not kill Xury until they asked him something.
The question is, where was Xuli being imprisoned and tortured? This underwater city is much bigger than imagined, and it is not possible to search blindly.
But wait, maybe Elaine doesn't need to blindly look for it.
He still remembered the characteristics of this group of stalkers: they were bad liars and bad scammers. Their primitive society had almost no crime, and there were very few liars and deceivers, so they were simple to the point of stupidity.
.
Maybe the place where Xury is being held will be guarded by an exaggerated amount of guards, making it extremely conspicuous. If so, Elaine can see through it at a glance.
As long as you pretend to be a commoner and walk around the city as if nothing happened, you might be able to find clues.
So he did this. To be more precise, after walking into the city, he randomly found a building with a higher floor and climbed to the top to observe everything. The stalkers really didn't care about the situation above, Elaine
He climbed out of the window and climbed to the roof, but no one noticed.
He made an ice wall as a cover. The ice wall could be made into a "magic mirror" like the one Edmund used before. Others looking towards him could only see a mirror-like reflective surface. He looked out from behind the mirror, and the mirror
is transparent.
Then he put on his glasses, squinted his eyes, and tried his best to see. No one could spot him here anyway, so it was no problem for him to put on his glasses. He even took out his telescope and looked around, scanning the city.
Then he found it. More than twenty guards had gathered in front of a twenty-story building at seven o'clock, and more guards were on their way there. There were guards on the second and third floors of the building, standing at the windows.
Look at the wind from the front; it is difficult to tell whether there are guards above the third floor, and it is not clear from this angle. But Elaine guessed that the guards would be concentrated on the fifth floor, and the guards above the third floor would be responsible for patrolling the corridors, stairwells and other places.
This place is so suspicious. Elaine is almost certain that Xuri is being held captive in it. It is very likely that he is being interrogated by an elder on the roof or on a higher floor. Just like when he went to rescue Zuoli, the boy Hayato met
The same thing happened.
In addition to using extremely cruel "teaching" to harm the body of the person being interrogated, the elders also did shady things. Therefore, the elders did not want guards to disturb their good deeds and only let the guards stay at the bottom.
floor.
But they didn't know that Elaine could climb up the wall and directly bypass the security on the lower level. The method that Elaine and his team had used before seemed not to have been exposed yet, and the same method could probably be used again... at least once.
However, there are stalker guards on the second and third floors of the building, so you might be seen if you climb up the wall directly from the back door.
What should I do...
Elaine observed another building on the side. That building was also ten stories high. It was almost next to the guarded twenty-story building, no more than ten yards away. Perhaps Elaine could learn from the ten-story building.
He jumped over the top of the building and used telekinesis to cling to the wall of the twenty-story building before falling to his death.
He was a little worried that this high-risk action would fail, but he could still transform into a human form and fly with the power of his mind the moment before he fell to the ground - which was naturally a last resort.
Anyway, let’s try it first.
Elaine climbed through the window and went downstairs again, pretending to walk through the city as if nothing had happened. The atmosphere in the city became tense, and as guards ran around on the streets, people also showed panicked looks. Only Elaine deliberately avoided
Passing through the crowd, walking through the alleys, and quickly approaching the target twenty-story building and the ten-story building next to it.
Perhaps most of the stalkers had gone out to do errands, or perhaps they were careless about strangers. When Elaine walked into the building, almost no one asked, and no one even cared about his existence. He arrived quickly.
On the top floor, I happened to see an empty room with no one living in it, so I climbed through the window from there to the roof. It seemed that the anesthetic, gas, and bombs he had prepared could be saved.
Looking at the building next to it from the top, it is quite tall. There are even taller thirty-story buildings in the undersea city, but they are very rare. Such twenty-story buildings account for twenty of the buildings in the city.
About one-fifth of it is considered a rare quantity.
Do you want to jump from the roof of the building here, leap ten yards, and then instantly stick to the wall of the building opposite?
...will it really go that smoothly?
Elaine could even imagine how painful it would be if his whole body was slapped against the wall. But he had no choice.
"Okay, okay...there's nothing to be afraid of!" He said to himself to encourage himself, and then leaped out.
