Weird Star Witch
Chapter 331: Undersea Corpses
When the huge ship was falling, the picture seemed to be in slow motion. The hull tilted a little bit, twisted a little bit, but all of this was so unstoppable. The heavier the giant, the greater the potential energy when it collapsed.
A ship has a left railing and a right railing, but it is more appropriate to use the upper and lower railings now. The captain grabbed the upper railing and watched the ship fall in the other direction.
The crew screamed with fear, the windows of the bridge were smashed, and the helmsman and navigator in the bridge fell out with the broken glass shards.
Even the most experienced crew members have no experience in dealing with shipwrecks, and shipwrecks often mean death.
Everything on the deck was rolling to the tilted side, and the large wooden boxes and ropes slid quickly on the deck, knocking down the already staggering crew members.
The angle between the deck and the sea surface was getting closer and closer to a right angle. A big wave came, and the sea water rushed onto the deck, leaving a terrifying purple liquid on the deck. The purple liquid represented a highly toxic and death.
Cannons fell into the sea, and crew members fell into the sea.
The captain saw a man on the sea, a man with his upper body standing above the sea.
Compared with the doomsday ship, the man seemed out of place. No matter how big the waves were, no matter what fell beside him, his body stood firmly on the sea.
That was the water wizard... the water wizard who had just attacked the ship.
The deck and the sea were completely 90 degrees, and the hull lay in the sea.
The captain could clearly see the terrible black and purple sea surface, which was the poison soup of the Scorpio wizard. Once they fell into the poison soup, everyone's life and death would be in the hands of the Scorpio wizard.
The captain originally wanted to resist, but he didn't know when he inhaled a breath of air.
This breath of air was so deadly that the tiny toxins spread around the hull with the water vapor beaten by the waves. As long as you inhale a breath, you will be poisoned by the Scorpio wizard.
Finally, his hand softened, and he fell from the railing and into the sea.
Maybe he could still struggle for a while in front of the Scorpio Wizard, but it was useless. He closed his eyes painfully in the air. The ship sank, and he was dead.
Sacrifice for the ship, this is the fate of every captain in the war.
His body smashed into the black and purple sea water, and the sea water rushed over immediately, like a sea snake, and drilled into his mouth and nose. The burning heat from his lungs proved how deep the poison was.
The captain looked up at the sea, watching the deck getting bigger and closer in his field of vision, and the hull turned over completely, holding him under the deck.
A ship was upside down on the sea, and the bottom of the ship covered with barnacles was exposed.
Rudolph looked at the bottom of the ship from the side, and his obsessive-compulsive disorder made him uncomfortable. This captain was too unrefined. How could there be so many barnacles? If there is a chance, the barnacles and shells on the bottom of the ship must be cleaned up.
The first mate Mackenzie at the bottom of the cabin was almost going crazy: "What's going on? What's going on!"
He was standing on the floor just now, and then he stood on the side wall, and he was about to stand on the ceiling.
"First mate! The ship capsized!"
"I know the ship capsized! But how did it capsize? We were not hit by bullets, and it is impossible for it to capsize even if we were hit!"
The alchemical reinforcement array under his feet just now now appeared above his head. The array was intact. The enemy did not slash the ship, but capsized the ship with some incomprehensible means.
After a few seconds of panic at the beginning, the first mate Mackenzie suddenly realized the terrible situation he was facing. The doors in the warship are very airtight, and part of the air sealed in the hull will not be exhausted in a short time. Once the oxygen in the air is used up by them, they will be suffocated to death here.
"Hurry up... No, go to the lower cabin! We have to get out as soon as possible!"
The hull flipped, and the walls on the doors became high thresholds at this time. The door handle was too high to reach, so one person had to sit on the other's shoulders to reach the door handle.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up!"
In order to avoid fire, the power system in the ship automatically cuts off under abnormal circumstances, and there are only some emergency lights in the aisle. In the dim light, the breathing of others is getting heavier.
I don't know if it's psychological, but the first mate Mackenzie feels that the air has become dirty and he has some hypoxia.
When they climbed to the second floor with great effort and were about to welcome the dawn, they suddenly felt the hull shaking violently.
"First mate! The ship is moving!"
"I know! Run!"
The first mate has been sailing with the ship since he was young and has never encountered such a situation. He couldn't understand why the ship capsized just now, and he couldn't understand it even more when the capsized ship was still moving.
The violent shaking of the hull made the already anxious people stagger.
The last door appeared in front of the first mate. The huge water pressure outside pressed the door tightly. The door became a one-way valve. The sealing ring on the side edge of the door perfectly blocked the entry of seawater under the water pressure.
Two people tried to pull the handle, but they couldn't pull it.
Someone hurried to find a rope, but was stopped by the first mate Mackenzie: "Don't waste time! Find explosives!"
How can human power beat water pressure? Only explosives can open this door at this time. Everyone hurried to the gunpowder warehouse and finally found two explosive packs and some diving suits in the warehouse.
After installing the explosive packs, the first mate Mackenzie shouted while wearing a diving mask: "It will depend on your luck in a while! I hope to see you on the sea!"
After a violent explosion, the last door shattered under the power of gunpowder.
The water from the bottom of the sea sprayed out from the broken door like a blowgun, rushing those unlucky people directly to the distance.
The people in the corridor grabbed the handrails on the side wall and waited for the seawater to fill here. Only when the seawater filled this corridor could they swim out.
After waiting for a long time until the water flow was no longer so turbulent, the first mate was the first to leave the cabin and came to the original deck.
The deck was on his head, pressing him into the sea water, and he still needed to swim out. However, the first mate shivered in the cold sea water, and his muscles spasmed because of fear.
He looked down and was stunned by the scene in front of him. This was the scene of the legendary abyss hell!
Hundreds of corpses appeared on the seabed at some point! These corpses walked on the seabed, like silent visitors from hell.
The first mate was sure that these were all corpses, because some of the corpses even had skeletons exposed.
Among the corpses was a druid, who had woven several thick ropes with seaweed and tied them to the sunken ship.
These ropes were divided into some small ropes to make it easier for the corpses to drag the ship.
In the world that was spinning and turning, the first mate Mackenzie turned his head and saw two extremely thick legs, which were the legs of giants in the legend. These two legs alone were 30 meters long.
Because of the knights' targeting, there were very few apostles like giants. The first mate Mackenzie had been active on the sea, and it was even more rare to see such a powerful apostle.
At this time, the upper body of the giant was blocked by the ship, and the first mate Mackenzie could not see it. He only saw two pairs of feet walking by the side of the ship.
The role of the giant seemed to be to prevent the hull from sinking and to avoid damage to the two large chimneys, which were one of the very important structures of the steam turbine.
The corpses of all sizes were walking on the seabed. They did not need to breathe and were not afraid of the cold. And... and they were dragging the overturned ship towards the shore.
At this moment, the first mate Mackenzie suddenly felt that he would not be able to escape...
Especially when he saw his captain, the second mate, the third mate, the chief engineer and others following behind the team of corpses, dragging the ship together, the first mate instantly lost his resistance. Death was so close that even the corpses sensed his death. All the corpses looked up or turned their heads to look at the first mate, who was also dying.
In the dim seabed, hundreds of apostle corpses looked at the first mate in unison. This horrific scene suffocated the first mate instantly.
The ghost-like jellyfish floated beside him, and he made the final decision. If possible, he wanted to live a few more seconds, even one second, even two seconds.
So he turned around and swam into the hull. Everyone else swam out, only the first mate Mackenzie swam in.
You can't talk in the sea, and the others don't know what happened to the first mate, but they just run out driven by the instinct to survive.
The first mate opened an equipment well. He was so familiar with the ship that he could find his way back to the cabin. He crawled out of an equipment well and breathed air again.
Those who swam out were doomed to die. The apostles among them would join the army of corpses.
This is war. Once they fail, everyone on the ship will die and be buried in the sea.
He curled up in a corner of a cabin, wanting to wait for death quietly, but the fear of death made him cry bitterly, especially since he might be the only living person in the entire ship, and this huge hull was his iron coffin.
At some point, the wall behind him rippled like water waves, and a person walked out of it.
Mackenzie looked at the person in front of him in great shock. He didn't even bother to hide his ugly appearance before his death.
Mackenzie suddenly had an intuition that he had hope of survival:
"I am not a Carolingian soldier! I am a pirate on the Saragu Sea! My ship was sunk by the Carolingian Navy and they captured me! I became the first mate after I surrendered to them!"
Rudolf was not interested in knowing the truth of the crew's story. He just said, "Excuse me, I just want to know where the engine room is. Tell me where the engine room is, and then you continue."
Mackenzie's eyes suddenly lit up, and this light made Rudolf a little interested.
"I know what you want to do! I can judge whether the steam turbine can still be used! Seawater is very corrosive, and the steam turbine is not in good condition now!"
Rudolf couldn't help asking, "How do you know I care about the steam turbine?"
"Sir! You are towing this ship to the seaside. You must want to get this ship, not to let it sink into the sea! Please believe me! Let me serve you! I am very useful!"
Rudolf frowned, a little at a loss.
He, Cooper and Yvonne, three landlubbers, have no idea how to control a ship. Navigation knowledge is so professional that it is not something that these three novices can master in a short time.
"How do I know if you are really loyal to me?"
"I am a level 3 alchemist. As long as you pay, you will definitely gain my loyalty!"
Rudolph pondered, wondering if it was right to keep this first mate.
Mackenzie thought Rudolph didn't want to pay, so he hurriedly said, "It's okay if you don't pay!"
In this stuffy cabin, Rudolph was amused and made a decision:
"Okay, then you have a chance to survive. As for how long you can live, it depends on you. What's your name?"
"Mackenzie!"
Rudolph took out a syringe and injected a tube of dark purple venom into Mackenzie's body. Throughout the entire process, Mackenzie did not resist at all.
"McKenzie, after all, you are the first mate of the Carolingian Kingdom's navy. I can't completely trust you, so I need a little insurance."
"I understand, this is what it should be."
"Wipe your nose and take me to the engine room."
The two of them were walking in the inverted hull, but this time they didn't need to bother to open the door. Every wall turned into a wave of water in front of Rudolph, making it easier to walk through.
"Are you an earth wizard?"
"You know quite a lot."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry about you!"
A few minutes later, the first mate suddenly stood up and bent over. He remembered a wanted notice. In that wanted poster, there was a photo of the wizard in front of him.
Melting Rudolph! The Scorpio wizard who manually changed the Fabro City Council!
No wonder he had to be injected with poison. There was even more cold sweat on Mikenzie's back.
Soon, they arrived at the engine room.
The engine room is a huge three-story cabin with a double-cylinder steam turbine. At this time, half of the engine room is filled with seawater.
"Sir, the steam turbine of this ship has two chimneys more than ten meters high. The water must have flowed in from the chimneys. I really want to live, so I won't hide anything from you. The entire steam engine has been It has been soaked in sea water and cannot be used again unless it is overhauled.”
Rudolf also saw that water was still pouring out of the steam turbine. Maybe it would be filled in a few minutes. He asked, "Can you practice it?"
"I'm sorry, sir, I can't. Such repairs must go to the dock or shipyard, and several experienced alchemical engineers are required."
Mackenzie was terrified that if the ship had no value, then neither would he, and he would die.
Rudolf lowered his head and kept thinking, and then asked again: "Do you know where I can repair this ship?"
"I know! Port Kodor is a big port, and there is a dock here. But the dock here should be controlled by the Royal Navy. If the engineers in the dock are correct, they must have been absorbed into their maintenance force by the Royal Navy.
Now only the Royal Navy has enough alchemical engineers, and only they are capable of repairing the ship. "
Hearing this answer, Rudolf sighed.
It seems that the plan to steal a ship and run away on the battlefield was shattered. This kind of alchemy ship is so complex that it cannot be handled by just a few of them.
"Okay, let's go."
Rudolph took Mackenzie out of the engine room and into the water outside.
After floating on the sea, Rudolph said to Mackenzie: "Go to the shore and find a living corpse named Cooper. Just say what I said, you are very useful, keep you."
Mackenzie was completely relieved. He would not die for the time being: "What about you? Mr. Rudolph?"
"I'm going to get a few more ships so that the Royal Navy can repair my ships." Rudolph felt that he had to get more things before the Royal Navy would be willing to repair his ships: "Wait, what did you call me?"
"Mr. Rudolf! Great Forge! You are the terrible poisonous fire that can melt all alchemists! I will always serve you! Mr. Forge!"
