【Warning! The remaining energy is insufficient, please confirm whether to turn on the sleep state! 】
Yao Guang was awakened by the alarm sound that kept echoing in his brain.
When she opened her eyes, her head was resting on a pair of thin arms, along the dirty sleeves, there were a pair of worried green eyes.
"Yaoguang?" Shaotu whispered, "Are you alright?"
Yaoguang said "um", feeling that something was wrong, raised his head, and found that the wire on his chest was unplugged.
She: "!"
She was about to get up, but was held down by Shaotu.
"You briefly lost consciousness," he said. "I heard an alarm saying it was low energy." So the cord was unplugged.
Yaoguang said almost immediately, "It doesn't matter to me."
"It doesn't matter," a reckless voice sounded, "Are you kidding me? Why are you so embarrassed?"
Yaoguang was taken aback and looked up.
Mao Zhi was actually in the power room. Although he mocked Yao Guang, he was not much better - his face was covered in blood, his clothes were almost torn into strands, and his exposed skin was covered with large scratches.
He was half leaning against the wall, a wounded arm hanging limply by his side.
Yaoguang hesitated for a moment before realizing something was wrong: "Why are you here?"
"I brought him here," Annie interjected, "it's too dangerous on the deck now, the captain ordered him to retreat."
"I don't need to retreat, "I can continue to fight."
Annie said perfunctorily, "Okay."
"Don't worry, Yaoguang," Shaotu whispered in Yaoguang's ear, "Maozhi didn't find out who you are.
Yaoguang said "en", turned his head and looked at Mao Zhi: "What's going on now? "
They were trapped in the power room, far from Maozhi's understanding of the situation.
Mao Zhi said: "It's too bad, we were stuck in the gap and couldn't get out, so the beasts were surrounded..."
"Bang!"
The wall beside his face was suddenly pierced, and a sharp iron claw came in.
- It's a monster!
Mao Zhi's expression didn't change, he picked up a chair and smashed it, and there was a scream from across the wall, followed by the sound of wings flapping.
Through the hole in the wall, Yaoguang saw a monster in the shape of a giant eagle flying away in a hurry.
"You saw it too," Mao Zhi continued, "now the whole ship is surrounded by monsters. The deck, the bilge, and the starboard side have been occupied. Except for the power room and the control room, monsters almost occupy the entire ship."
- This is a really bad situation.
Yaoguang was silent for a while and asked, "What's wrong with the fort?"
"I don't know," Mao Zhi said briefly, "I wanted to go down to take a look, but the fort is in the bottom cabin, and there are too many monsters there."
He The wound on the arm was still there.
Yaoguang asked again, "Where are the captains and the others?"
Annie said, "I have contacted them just now, and they are all fine, but to save energy, the captain turned off the wireless communication."
Without Yaoguang's power supply, the Maria The speed of energy consumption has increased dramatically, and a quarter of the energy is consumed in just a few minutes.
Yao Guang fell into silence after understanding the situation.
Now that the problem is clear, one of them must go down to the cradle to check the condition of the battery, otherwise the battery will not work and the gap in the theater dome will not be opened, and the Maria will remain trapped in the theater until it is Warcraft dismembered.
But the question is - who will go?
It is impossible to let the robots go, and with their force value, they can't resist the monsters in a cabin.
Shuobata is in a coma, Maoju is injured, and Shuotu must stay in the power room.
Yao Guang lowered his eyes.
It seems... it can only be her.
"I'm going." Captain Robert's voice suddenly sounded from the horn.
Everyone was taken aback: "What?"
"No one is more familiar with the internal structure of the Maria than me," Captain Robert said. "I can count every keel of her ship."
He paused and added . One sentence: "Besides, if there is really a problem with the fort, you don't know how to fix it."
"But...it's too dangerous!" Shaotu said, "There are so many monsters in the bottom cabin, how can you..."
"Young man?" Captain Robert's voice suddenly increased, "Can I understand that—you are questioning the strength of the famous pirate, Gandalf Robert?!"
Shaotu: "This is not the time to be entangled in this!"
" Shaotu," Yaoguang suddenly interrupted the dispute, "let him go."
Shaotu was taken aback: "Yaoguang?"
"It's exactly as he said," Yaoguang said, "here only Captain Robert knows the structure of a sailboat best, if If it was you, I couldn't even find the location of the bilge."
She hit the nail on the head, and Shaotu's expression froze, but she couldn't refute.
Captain Robert said with satisfaction: "That's it."
Their time was very tight - for every second of delay, the beast was an inch closer to them.
Yaoguang could even hear the sound of beasts scratching the door from behind the ship's wall. Perhaps they would be able to completely destroy the thin layer of wood and rush into the power room in a short time.
She made a prompt decision: "Everyone is looking for roadblocks to block the exit, Shaotu, you are optimistic about the console."
Annie and Maozhi didn't hesitate, and hurried to move furniture. Yaoguang wanted to get up, but just propped up his arms and fell again. go down.
An alarm rang frantically in her head:
[Warning! The current remaining energy is 12%! 】
Shaotu hurriedly supported her: "Don't move!"
Yaoguang reluctantly raised his head, his eyes touched the back of Shaotu, and his voice suddenly condensed: "Dodge!"
She pushed Shaotu away and raised the Arm, only to hear the crisp sound of gold and stone clashing - a demon beast stretched out its claws from the gap in the wall and grabbed on Yaoguang's arm!
"Tear--!"
Yaoguang's artificial skin was torn off with a long mouth, but she didn't even snort.
The beast screamed and struggled desperately, but the upper body was still stuck in the gap, unable to retreat.
Yao Guang took a deep breath and continued to exert his strength. His arm went straight through the head of the beast and slammed it against the wall.
"Pfft--!"
Like a tomato pierced by a sharp needle, a large mass of blood burst out from the beast's nose and mouth, and the entire wall was splashed with its blood.
"Shaotu," Yaoguang said quickly, "go and get a stick."
Shaotu reacted and said hurriedly: "Okay...Okay!"
He picked up a broken chair leg from the ground, hesitantly He handed it to Yaoguang: "What are you going to do?"
Yaoguang didn't answer him, he took the leg of the chair, turned his wrist, and slammed it into the head of the beast.
In this way, the beast was nailed to the wall, and the upper body just blocked the crack in the wall.
After doing all this, Yaoguang swayed, unable to fall down.
【warn! The current remaining energy is 10%! 】
In his ears, the crazy roars and collisions of the beasts were all heard, Yao Guang sat in the chaotic symphony, and slowly closed his eyes.
Now... just waiting for Captain Robert...
at the same time.
Captain Robert was crawling with difficulty in a narrow tunnel.
In order to avoid the monsters, he deliberately took the secret road leading directly to the bottom cabin, but despite this, he still encountered several monsters along the way.
But Captain Robert knew that the present situation could not delay time.
He quickly passed through the secret passage and reached the bottom cabin, only to find that the situation here was more serious than he expected.
A small bilge, but dozens of square meters in size, but it was packed with dozens of monsters, connected shoulder to heel, howling like aimless flies, and even a few monsters could not find food. , began to nibble on the rotting walls of the ship indiscriminately.
"Goooo!" Captain Robert swallowed at the sight of their sharp fangs and the shattered walls.
"Holy Portunus," he murmured, "this is more thrilling than taking me across a sea of ten thousand sea monsters."
But he knew it was his only option.
Even in the face of those monsters, he may be torn to shreds in an instant, but he must go down.
- For those waiting in the control room.
The great pirate Robert is a hero.
He never fails people's hopes, and wherever there is a need for redemption, there is his presence.
A hot emotion surged from his chest and instantly swept across Captain Robert's body.
He suddenly remembered the once, those all-powerful years.
He is a thief who robs the rich and helps the poor, punishes the evil, saves the people, and is deeply loved by the people.
He is also a frightened and wanted criminal, and the empire has used hundreds of fleets to help him.
He is also a sea hegemon who conquered the four oceans, and is the only man in the legend who has landed on the Dream Island.
Captain Robert raised his head slowly.
The small glass window in the wall reflected his face.
The man wore a faded cocked hat, his beard was like dead grass, the medal on his chest was dull, and the once majestic captain's uniform was even more shabby, like a blob of reddish salted vegetables.
But through this beggar-like middle-aged man, Captain Robert saw something else.
The hero who once conquered the world, the all-powerful man, Robert, the king of pirates, is still sleeping in his body.
He took a deep breath and slowly turned the iron hook in his right hand.
"Come on, Robert," he murmured, "let me see how much you have left."
Captain Robert wasn't in a hurry to get out of the cabin—he needed to find out what was wrong first.
Three cannons were embedded in the right wall of the bilge. Through the densely packed monsters, Captain Robert finally found the cannons.
The turret uses a relatively old style, consisting of a barrel, a medicine room, and a cannon tail. Ammunition is placed in the medicine room and connected to the barrel. When firing, the ammunition flows from the medicine room through the barrel and then shoots out.
The No. 1 and No. 2 Forts are normal, the key is No. 3 Fort.
Its body tube was dragged out by the beast, so the ammunition could not be transported to the muzzle, and naturally it could not be fired.
If you want the No. 3 battery to fire normally, you need to re-install the barrel back into the cannon.
Captain Robert looked at the long dark pipe more than ten meters away and fell into contemplation.
The operation is not difficult, the problem is the weight of the barrel.
Maria is equipped with enhanced artillery, with a caliber of 544 mm, a barrel as long as 4 meters, and a weight of 2000kg.
If you want to drag a 2-ton body tube by one person, the difficulty is tantamount to ascending to the sky.
Captain Robert pondered for a moment and had an idea.
In fact, if he used his body as bait to lure the beast to chase him, he could deliberately get close to the body during the pursuit and use the power of the beast to push it.
But this approach has two drawbacks.
First, he wasn't sure whether the monsters would push the body as he intended.
Second, even if he succeeded, he had only one outcome after being exposed to the attack range of the monsters—death.
Captain Robert took a deep breath and straightened.
In fact, there is no hesitation, after all, he has made the decision from the beginning.
——The great pirate Gandalf Robert, will never be the shrunken turtle hiding behind people's backs!
"Ah—!"
Captain Robert roared, kicking open the bilge door!
In an instant, almost all the monsters turned their heads and looked at him with bright eyes.
Being stared at by dozens of pairs of blood-red eyes, Captain Robert showed no signs of timidity.
The bottom cabin is narrow and the number of monsters is too large. They can't avoid it, and several heads are directly pressed under the hatch.
Taking this opportunity, Captain Robert jumped, stepped on the hatch, and used this as a leverage point to jump forward again.
"Boom!"
He flew several meters and landed in the open space behind the beast.
"Roar!" Seeing this, the beast turned around in a hurry and ran towards him.
But the bottom compartment was too narrow to allow them to turn around, and the monsters were stuck one after another. Captain Robert pulled his legs and ran towards the barrel of the No. 3 battery!
"Bang!"
He ran too fast, failed to brake in time, and slammed his head into the cabinet behind his body, the cabinet door was knocked open, and something fell.
Captain Robert just raised his head and was smashed to the ground by two hard bodies.
"Fuck!" He couldn't help scolding, and hurriedly pushed the two bodies away, but when he saw their faces, he couldn't help but stop.
Among them, one was wearing a blue and white sailor's suit, and the other was wearing a dark gray military-style uniform, staring at him quietly with inorganic blue eyes.
Captain Robert's lips trembled.
These two people, one is Edmund, his best assistant, and the other is Peter, the first mate who has accompanied him for many years.
At that time, the crew of the Maria were scrapped one after another, and only Edmund and Pete persisted the longest.
But in the end, they still left.
Captain Robert remembered that Pete had come to him just before the CPU came to a halt.
"Captain," his voice was choppy because of the broken parts, like a radio that was about to go out of work, "please take my power core when I'm gone."
At that time, Captain Robert scolded him angrily.
"Fuck you! You got shot in the head?!" He roared at Pete, "I will never do such a murderous thing! You are my crew, none of you are allowed to die!"
Pete looked at He, sighed.
"Captain," he whispered, "you know, Edmund and I won't last long."
"It's better for you to live longer than we survive..."
Captain Robert's eyes flashed with anger, The irritable interrupted him: "No! I am the captain of the Maria, and I must be responsible for you!"
Peter covered him with a louder voice.
"Because you're the captain!" He looked at Captain Robert, "You can't die!"
Captain Robert was taken aback.
"Do you remember?" Pete whispered, "I used to be just a street gangster. When I was about to be killed by the Imperial Patrol, it was you who rescued me, gave me food, gave me work, and took me from The Shimachi district pulled it out."
"Not just me, but everyone else."
"Forrest Gump in the kitchen was blind and abandoned by his parents."
"Bosun Edmund was an orphan and nearly starved to death on the street."
"Second Officer Reina was tricked by her husband and almost ended up on the street."
"You don't despise us at all, poor people like us, and you picked us up one by one," he raised his head, "you gave it to us. In the second life, let us have a new life on the Maria."
"Captain, don't you understand?"
Pete looked at Captain Robert's eyes eagerly and eagerly.
"You are the soul of the Maria," he said slowly. "As long as the soul doesn't die, the Maria—will live forever."
Pete grabbed Captain Robert's hand and put it on his chest.
Captain Robert came across something smooth and hot.
That's Pitt's energy core.
"Here," Pete pushed hard, and a small glass bead fell into his palm, "please take it."
He took Captain Robert's hand and let him grip the energy core.
"I believe... believe..." His voice began to have a large blank, like a stuck tape, "If... it's the captain, it must... definitely..." I
will definitely be able to take them and go again Dream Island.
The cold liquid slipped from the corner of his eyes, and Captain Robert pulled himself out of his memory.
Because of the impact just now, a large mouth was broken on his forehead, and the conductive liquid was gurgling down his cheeks, and the crystal clear liquid flowed from the corners of his eyes. At first glance, it seemed that he was crying.
"Ow!" The
beast got rid of the shackles and slowly approached him.
Captain Robert didn't care, he lowered his head and took out a sphere like a glass bead from his pocket.
After Pete was scrapped, he didn't use his power core, but kept it close to him.
But now, he thought, it was time to use it.
Captain Robert hugged Pete's body and stood up slowly.
"Come on," he said softly, looking at his most trusted chief mate, "Pete, this is the last battle."
Robert, the overlord of the four seas, was brave and good at fighting, leading a hundred of his subordinates, and he had come back to life in several naval battles and won.
But this time, he fought alone, with little chance of winning.
But Captain Robert was not at all afraid.
He knew -- he wasn't alone.
Pete, Edmond, Lena.
Forrest Gump, Zoran, Ren...
They have always been by his side and never left.
Looking at the roaring monsters, Captain Robert smiled and slowly closed his eyes.
His fingers rested on the energy core, and immediately—
crushed it hard!
"Boom!" The
huge airflow exploded in the bottom cabin in an instant, and the entire cabin was blown up in half. Countless monsters screamed and fell directly from a height of tens of meters!
Captain Robert was also swept away by the violent airflow, but he tightly hugged the barrel of the fort and adjusted the direction with difficulty, only to hear a "click". The tube is perfectly connected to the turret.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Thus, his task was accomplished.
Captain Robert was holding the No. 3 battery, and his body was hanging dangerously high in the air. He raised his eyes and looked around.
In the violent explosion, the bottom cabin has been blown up, only the starboard side is connected to the upper cabin, and the left cabin, those monsters, and even the bodies of Pete and Edmund, have turned into fiery flames, fluttering. into the air.
Presumably even if it rushed out of the theater, the Maria would soon fall apart.
Captain Robert gave a wry smile.
In the end, he still failed to set foot on Dream Island again.
In the end... still broke.
The hand that was clinging to the gun body slowly loosened, and Captain Robert lowered his eyes, holding a dark piece of clothing in his hand, which was torn from Pete.
He slowly twitched the corners of his mouth.
Actually...that's not bad either.
His whole life was dedicated to the Maria, so at the end of his life, he hoped to die with it.
But just as Captain Robert was about to let go, an arm suddenly grabbed him!
Captain Robert, startled, raised his head sharply.
Shaotu was lying on the floor of the starboard room with difficulty, clasping his hand tightly.
"Mr. Captain!" he said with difficulty, "Hurry up and hold on to me!"
His arms were bruised with blue veins, and his fingers were all white, making him almost unable to catch Captain Robert.
Captain Robert stared at his flushed face and shook his head slowly.
"Don't be like this, boy," he said calmly, "let go."
Shaotu is not strong enough, if he insists on pulling him up, in the end, he will only be pulled down by Captain Robert.
Shaotu shouted: "I don't want it!"
Captain Robert: "!"
"Mr. Captain!" Shaotu shouted, "Didn't you promise me! Are you going to take me to Dream Island?!"
Captain Robert smiled bitterly.
"That's right, but..." He raised his head, his eyes flashing with complicated light, "Shaotu, I actually know all about it."
He is not some all-powerful pirate, but a stage robot in an amusement park.
There is no overlord of the four seas, the conqueror of Dream Island... He is just a robot made by humans, a program, and an order.
But even so, he did not dare to break the illusion of fragility like soap bubbles.
It seems that as long as you play Captain Robert diligently, the dream will not be broken.
So...
"Let go, Rabbit," Captain Robert whispered, "this is the best ending."
As long as Captain Robert dies while chasing Dream Island, he will still be the all-powerful pirate, the overlord of the four seas, Conqueror of Dream Island.
"pat", "pat".
Some kind of warm liquid fell on Captain Robert's face, he was startled, and found that Shaotu was covered in tears.
"But...but..." Shaotu choked, "You promised me that you would take me to Dream Island and realize my wish."
"Listen to me," he said intermittently, "I passed the exam. The first military academy, entered the mechanical department, and also won the fifth place in the freshman competition..."
"I always remember our agreement."
Shaotu's voice was hoarse and said in a low voice: "Mr. Captain, Dream Island is a real existence. Yes ."
His fingernails turned up inch by inch, and the flesh was bloodied by the metal buckle on Captain Robert's uniform, but he didn't let go.
"Why... don't you look up...?"
Hearing this, Captain Robert raised his head subconsciously.
He first hit a pair of clear green eyes.
The green eyes were bright and flickering, and the emerald eyes shone with a little bit of starlight.
...starlight?
Captain Robert was startled, as if he had reacted to something, and suddenly turned his head.
Behind them, the cockpit was still burning, its wreckage reduced to bits and pieces, blazing brightly in the air.
In the end, the fragments gradually drifted away, reflecting the silver dome, forming the shape of an island.
Captain Robert murmured: "This is..."
"Silver clouds, golden earth," Shaotu said slowly, "flying gods, floating islands in the sky."
"Mr. Captain, did you see it? '
He squeezed Captain Robert's arm, and little by little, with difficulty, he pulled him up firmly.
"You didn't break your promise, and it's not an illusion," he said, looking at Captain Robert, "this is the island of dreams."
Captain Robert looked at the golden island floating in the air, his eyes dazed.
Two lines of crystal clear liquid slid down his cheeks.
It was Shaotu's tears, and it was also his tears.
In the air, there was a faintly ethereal singing voice:
[Silver clouds, golden earth. ]
[The nightingale sings on the branches, and the gods fly in the clouds. 】
【In the middle of the sea, there is a dream island. 】
【Come on, boy, plant a seed on Dream Island. 】
【When you come back again, the dream will blossom and bear fruit. 】
The author has something to say:
I personally still like this chapter very much~!
Recently, I saw a new article that really pokes my XP, and I pushed it to the cubs! !
Ming people don't speak secret words, I like that kind of weak and paranoid sick beauty! ! ! (Shasha)
"Three sentences of a sick beauty cost me 180,000 krypton gold" Yu Ji
Zheng Siluo has inexplicably added an indescribable development game on her mobile phone, with an apocalyptic background.
Zaizai has a face that is astonishing, but he is sick and sitting in a wheelchair. At first glance, it is difficult to survive in the apocalypse.
The task of the game is to send the cubs to the bosses for shelter.
Zheng Siluo, who was deeply educated by socialism, wanted to uninstall it, but when she saw that face, her heart: just play a million times!
In order to "help" Zaizai to survive -
Zaizai was forced to swallow the medicine by the NPC, Zheng Siluo hid the antidote and prepared a bundled package.
The cub was surrounded and beaten by zombies, and Zheng Siluo washed the beaten cub who couldn't resist and sent it to the boss's room.
But every time she looked at the glass beauty that was about to shatter when the cub resisted, Zheng Siluo's heart softened, and Krypton Jin used a serious way to help the cub overcome the difficulties of survival.
Zheng Siluo: Forget it, just spend a hundred million! Just this time!
Until one day later, when she turned on the game and played it backwards, she saw the pitiful cub in front of her snapping someone's neck with his backhand, without blinking his eyes.
Zheng Siluo: ...?
One day later, the end of the world will come.
Zheng Siluo found that the game world and the real world merged while running away in a hurry.
And her cub appeared in the real world, holding the bundled package she had tied him, and tied her hands firmly.
He said, "I was tied up like this, don't you remember?"
...
Ye Xun wore it to the end of the world, because he was bullied by ten thousand people because of his broken leg, he also wanted to slaughter all ten thousand people.
But suddenly one day, his world changed.
There was an invisible woman who saw all his unbearableness and cruelty, but she still stretched out her hand to him and set off fireworks for him to save his life while the zombies were waiting.
He was originally an abyss, but on that day, the sky was filled with sparks, and the fire was faintly sprinkled in the abyss, and then it burned the prairie.
