Dragons: Reboot the New World

Chapter 22 No.20 Act Two Bronze City ([-])
At this moment, the Monyach monitored a powerful biological current, which erupted at a certain point underwater and flowed with the water.

Yaji felt that Ye Sheng's body was shaking slightly. This was when he was at his weakest. His heart rate dropped rapidly to less than 30 beats per minute, and his blood temperature also slowly dropped.

Through the mask, the small light in the helmet illuminated Ye Sheng's deathly gray face, with only those disturbing pale golden pupils shining.Aji Jiali hugged Ye Sheng, trying to make him feel her body temperature. This was not the first time she had experienced this. Now Ye Sheng was as fragile as the child in her arms and needed her protection.

Ye Sheng's body shook violently, the pale gold in his pupils disappeared, his heartbeat rate picked up rapidly, his blood became warm again, and those "snakes" returned to sleep in his mind, leaving only one, and this one is still All the way down, it penetrates the darkness and sees the light!
"Is there any result?" Aki asked.

"Right under our feet, about 100 meters away, I felt the presence of a huge piece of metal, where the "snake" swam very fast. Only metal bodies have such good conductivity. "

"The earthquake has started... Damn it, it's an earthquake now!" On the Monyach, Mance clearly knew what was happening underwater from the sonar chart. He turned to the first mate and shouted, "Retract the line, retract the line. , pull them up!”

The ship's hull shook slightly, and Mance's expression changed. He vaguely heard a crashing sound coming from the sound of wind and rain. The nanomaterial lifeline broke, and they lost contact with Ye Shengyaji.

Ye Sheng and Ya Ji didn't have time to react. Millions of tons of water were pouring into the cavity, taking them and the rocks downward, downward, and downward again.

Even the most high-tech lifeline cannot resist this natural force.

At this moment, Ye Sheng thought of Lucifer's fall to heaven. The mythical fall lasted for nine days and nine nights, from heaven to hell. Ye Sheng didn't know what was in the darkness under his feet, maybe it was hell.

There was dead silence in the front cabin. Mans Rundstedt inserted his hands into his hair and combed it back hard, until the roots hurt.

He lost two of his best students in an instant. The communication machine transmitted a chaotic hiss of electricity, the signal was interrupted, and his survival was unknown.

"If you see a wall that you can't see the end of, up, down, left or right, and you can never reach the border, what is that?" A low voice echoed in the cabin.

Mance raised his head suddenly. He believed that he heard it correctly. That was Ye Sheng's voice!
"That's death, a Chinese science fiction writer said it. Now I understand what he means." The voice said, "This is Ye Sheng. Both Yaji and I are alive. I am talking to you through the current of "Snake" , has arrived at the underground palace of Dragon King Norton. Please reply when you receive it. "

"Are you sure?" Mance grabbed the microphone, his voice trembling slightly.

"Professor, if you saw this bronze wall in front of me, you would believe it too." Ye Sheng said.

"Is it a coincidence? Are we so lucky?" Yaji said softly, and the communication line between her and Ye Sheng was not broken.

"If it's not an accident, just think of it as an invitation from Dragon King Norton." Ye Sheng smiled.

"Monyah, please ask for support from the water cutter." Ye Sheng's voice came into the cabin.

Mance pondered for a moment, "Your current depth is 150 meters. The water cutter cannot cut things that big, and your oxygen is about to run out. After replacing the oxygen bottle, it can only last for two hours. I suggest you give up the mission. Return, Dragon King Norton’s awakening period has not yet come, we still have a chance.”

"Professor, will you stop and take a breath when you touch the boundary of the world?" Ye Sheng said, "Although the awakening period has not yet arrived, I am worried that the "snake" will wake him up. I can feel the "snake" entering "There's fear, it's swimming around something. "

Mance was silent for a full minute, "Prince Norton is inside? Okay, I understand completely. A total of four underwater cutting equipment have been prepared and will arrive at your designated location in 1 minutes. Remember, you only have two seconds." Hours."

Soon, dazzling lights came from above, and four young members of the executive department approached carrying cutting machines that could be propelled underwater. After they replaced oxygen bottles and lifelines for Ye Sheng and Yaji, they began to cut the huge Four holes were drilled into the bronze wall and cutting began.

Mance walked into the back cabin and turned on the satellite phone. "Principal, we believe we have found Dragon King Norton."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, "This is really exciting news, but shouldn't you be in Lop Nur? You have always told me that Lop Nur is the sleeping place of Dragon King Norton, and now it has suddenly become the Three Gorges Reservoir."

"Lop Nur is just a cover-up. Someone is following us. Wherever we find them, they will find them. That's why we left some manpower in Lop Nur to make a busy excavation site, but secretly concentrated the main manpower here."

"It's some archaeological teams, but they don't understand the Dragon Clan." Mance said, "We have made a breakthrough here. We are cutting into the Bronze City and waiting for instructions from the headquarters."

"The first choice is to capture alive, and the second is to kill." The principal said, "But remember not to let a real dragon leave our surveillance. If this kind of thing is released, the whole world will be turned upside down."

"Understood, time is limited. To open the Bronze City, can I use the "key"? "

"Okay, I let you take him just for this moment." The principal hung up the phone.

Mance put away the phone, leaned down and gently stroked the baby in the cradle. The baby who was crying just now was quiet now, looking around with wide innocent eyes.

"Baby, do you feel that thing?" Mance pinched the baby's nose.

Ye Sheng glanced at the reading of the air pressure gauge. It was about an hour before the oxygen bottle was replaced. The water cutter left "well"-shaped vertical and horizontal lines on the bronze wall. Ye Sheng felt the line he left inside the metal. "Snake" became more uneasy and swam much faster, as if it sensed something.

The light beam of the strong flashlight came from top to bottom. Mance in the diving suit tapped the mask of his helmet in greeting and spit out a string of bubbles.

The special wetsuit had a pouch of hard transparent material in front of the body, inside which was the baby wearing an extra-small wetsuit.At 150 meters underwater, the baby did not cry or even show any expression of fear. He slowly turned his head and looked around, with a pale golden shimmer flowing in his pupils.

"Evacuate the water cutting machine. Ye Shengyaji is ready. We are going to open the door." Mansi gave the order.

The four water cutting machines rose upwards. Ye Sheng and Yaji were suspended behind Mance, each putting a hand on his shoulder.

Mance crossed his hands in front of his chest and patted the hands of his most proud students vigorously.

Mance closed his eyes, stretched his hands forward, and chanted softly.

He turned off the intercom, but the majestic sound that sounded like singing and roaring directly penetrated the depths of Ye Sheng and Aki's minds.Mance opened his eyes suddenly and opened the mask of his pressurized diving suit.
Mance's voice echoed loudly beneath the water as he finished the last part of his chant.

"Yan Ling·Dustless Land".

The water surrounding Mance swirled, and a transparent water shell expanded rapidly outward from the center of his eyebrows. The water under high pressure was repelled by some force, forming a violently rotating vortex. Yaji's feet were empty and lost. Due to the buoyancy of the water, the moment she fell, Ye Sheng caught her wrist, pulled out the alloy knife from her chest with his other hand, and inserted it into the mark left by the water cutting machine.

"Baby, the rest will be left to you." Mance carefully hung it on steel claws and took the baby out of the belly of the diving suit. The baby stood on Mance's palm, straightening his back and looking solemn. Must be like a priest.

He looked at the man's face, slowly stretched out his chubby little hand, and pointed a finger between his lively eyebrows.

The bronze protrusion between the eyebrows scratched the baby's delicate fingers, and blood spread over the painful face. Ye Sheng reached out and caught the pacifier that fell from the baby's mouth. It was as low as the sound of a giant bell emanating from the child's face. The words poured out of his mouth, and the bronze wall resonated faintly.

Mance took out the hemostatic bandage from the waterproof box he carried with him, carefully wrapped it layer by layer on the baby's little finger, patted his face, "Key, you are great."

After the living spirit sucked all the blood, it was silent for a moment and slowly opened its mouth, as if yawning.

The sound of metal heating and cracking could be heard from deep within the bronze wall, and a dark hole about one meter in diameter appeared in the bronze wall.

Mance caressed the face carefully, "The key's word spirit commands the living spirit to open the door, and the blood will satisfy it temporarily. You have about an hour." "

"Professor, please release the word spirit of "The Dustless Land". We can enter after the passage is filled with water. "Ye Sheng said.

"Only one hour," Mance looked into Ye Sheng's eyes and raised a finger. "Norton has not yet reached the awakening stage, but if we can't get the skeleton, we will destroy it directly." He handed over a black iron box, "Stay at least 20 meters away before detonating."

Ye Sheng gave a thumbs up, and Mance put on his helmet again.

The word spirit was released silently, and the huge air ball instantly shattered into countless bubbles, rising rapidly upwards. Aki looked up at the figures gradually disappearing in the distance. Everyone left them again, and the darkness was heavy. At this time, the only light was the flashlight in Ye Sheng's hand.

Aki suddenly felt the cold, the cold that could destroy a person, the edge of the world.

"Ye Sheng!" She turned around and shouted.

"I'm here." Ye Sheng stretched out his hand and shook it with her through the thick gloves. He shined the beam of light on his face and smiled at her.They slowly entered the Bronze City.

……

……

"Ye Sheng! Speed ​​up, find the location of Dragon King Norton, and detonate the underwater bomb. Time is running out." Mance had already returned to the ship and ordered.

"Understood, I can feel that the location where the "snake" is circling is very close to me. "

Ye Sheng touched the depth charge in the side pocket of his diving suit and turned to Aki, "You take photos and samples of the surroundings here. I'll find the location of the "snake". If I guess right, it's next door." In the hole, pay attention to my life data. If there is a problem, don't worry about me. Evacuate first. "

Yaji nodded, Ye Sheng gave a thumbs up, turned over and dived underwater.

Yaji took photos of the Bronze City. Countless complex patterns on the surrounding walls continued to enter Yaji's viewing window. Yaji lowered the output pressure of the oxygen bottle, extended some underwater activities, and waited for Ye Sheng.

The reduced oxygen delivery made her a little dizzy, and the patterns on the dome were a little blurry in her eyes.She stopped filming temporarily, closed her eyes slightly, shook her head, and took two deep breaths.

"Aki, your heartbeat is speeding up, are you okay?" Thelma's slightly nervous voice came from the earphones.

"It's okay, just a little dizzy." Yaji said.

She put the folding knife back into her pocket, and just now, she cut the data cable unconsciously.

"The signal is interrupted!" Selma exclaimed on the Monyach, "The data line between us and Aki is broken!"

"Retract the line! Retract the line! Warn Ye Sheng!" Mance was stunned for a moment and yelled.The roller at the stern of the ship rotated at high speed to retrieve Aki's lifeline.

"There is no tension on the roller motor," Thelma looked up, her face losing color, "Aki's lifeline is broken!"

Ye Sheng floated up from Aki's side and held her arm, making her feel much more relaxed.

"Are you back? Is the mission over? I didn't hear the explosion." Aki felt much more relaxed when he saw the person he liked again.

"The underwater explosion will not make too much noise." Ye Sheng said, "I have solved it. After collecting the data, we will prepare to return. There is not much time left."

"Okay, I've finished taking pictures of the dome pattern."

"Collect some more bronze materials and go back and analyze the composition," Ye Sheng said, pointing to a statue of a snake-faced man on the bronze wall not far away.

"Okay," Yaji was dragged by Ye Sheng and swam towards the snake-faced man. She reached out and grabbed the snake-faced man's neck. This bronze sculpture was not as heavy as she thought, so she did it without much effort. Lift it up.

A shadow emerged from the water next to her at this moment. Aki pulled out the folding knife from the pocket of the diving suit without hesitation and struck directly at the shadow.

"Ye Sheng! Shoot!" she shouted.

"Shoot at whom?" asked Shadow.

Yaji was stunned. That was Ye Sheng's voice. Once, when they were training on the Great Barrier Reef, her oxygen tank malfunctioned underwater. She also heard Ye Sheng's voice just before she suffocated. She regained consciousness slightly, which saved her life.

She suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at the black shadow. The dim light from the opponent's helmet illuminated the face, which was Ye Sheng's thin and lean face.

"How come there are two Ye Shengs?" Ya Jixin said, huge fear suddenly exploded.

She turned her head and looked behind her. Ye Sheng, who had swam with her, was gone.

Floating in the water is a sculpture of a snake-faced man.

Ye Sheng pulled out his SSP-1, shot off the sculpture's face with one shot, and opened his and Aki's helmet visors, "I came back and found you swimming here. That thing was floating behind you. I don't know why it kept following you. , until you reach out and activate that system.”

"Oh my god!" Aki whispered, the low oxygen content in the air making it difficult for her to breathe.

"Those dragon texts," Ye Sheng pointed to the top of his head, "If you take pictures continuously and read them in a certain order, it will become a kind of spiritual spirit that will make you fall into hallucinations. This is the mechanism here."

A creepy sound came from the bronze wall. Ye Sheng and Yaji looked at the bronze wall in horror. Tens of thousands of wolf-shaped bronze gears on the wall began to rotate slowly, and the huge bells echoed in the cave. Inside, the rust on the bronze gears began to peel, and the teeth clenched together to make a sound.

"You have activated the system," Ye Sheng looked at the bronze pole that Yaji had just pushed, "but the problem is that I don't know what system it is..."

His heart jolted, and he felt that the "snakes" he had left around him to keep on guard were escaping. This was an unprecedented phenomenon. Those "snakes" were his slaves, men who spied on information for him. They It will always live in the depths of his consciousness, and at this moment, huge fear is forcing this "snake" to choose to escape from its master.

Ye Sheng's head hurt sharply, and other snakes deep in his consciousness were also swimming in panic, trying to squeeze his head.

"Go! Get out of here! We don't have time!" Ye Sheng said loudly, closing his and Aki's helmet visors.

……

……

Lu Mingfei heard the deafening bells. He was playing StarCraft in the dormitory and looked up to see the dark night and starlight outside.

"come yet?"

The reason why he didn't sleep was because he was waiting for this moment.

"Brother, I'm going to save a pair of fateful couple." Lu Mingfei's opponent was Old Tang. He quit the game after typing a message in the public chat channel.

He rushed out of the dormitory and almost bumped into someone.

Lu Mingfei stood still and saw clearly that the person standing in front of him was Nono in a school uniform.

"Hey, you are quite enlightened, little brother." Nuonuo greeted him.

"All "S"-level and "A"-level students are requested to report to the library that it is an emergency!Emergency! "Norma's voice came from the loudspeaker,
"That's necessary. Let's go quickly." Lu Mingfei took Nono's hand and rushed to the library. Professor Guderian also rushed out of the corridor while putting on his suit. His hair was thicker than that of Lu Mingfei and Fingel combined. chaos.

Professor Manstein and Professor von Schneider from the Executive Department were gloomily waiting for the elite students in the control room of the library, including Caesar, Chu Zihang, Nono, Qilan, and Zero. She was sitting In the front row, there is still only one silhouette left for everyone. The professors occupy the remaining positions. This room is a very classical and elegant library. It is not like a control center. It can seat four or fifty people, and the four walls are covered with bookshelves. , there is a hardcover ancient book with a cowhide cover standing on the bookshelf.

"There are 13 students, 1 "S" grade, 12 "A" grade, and 27 professors. Everyone is here. ” Professor Manstein whispered to Professor von Schneider.
