Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 814

[Chapter 795: Civilized Body]
It is late at night, but for the Homeless Ship sailing at the end of the world, the sky above her head is always a layer of hazy and chaotic gray sourceless skylight, which is always and evenly dispersed in the clouds and mist, no matter day or night, as if there is no light at any time. Silk Bo changes.
The sailor was sitting on the stern deck in a daze, with a complicated expression on his bony face. He had maintained this posture for a long time, like a sculpture.
Duncan stood next to him, looking down at the mummy, and suddenly broke the silence: “Is it possible that you are still thinking about your last words?”
…Not really,” the sailor said unnaturally. He adjusted his posture and muttered, “The main thing is… I suddenly don’t know what to do in the future.”
Duncan raised his eyebrows when he heard this: “In the future?”
….In my original plan, I should have disappeared from this world by this time.” The sailor was silent for a few seconds and said calmly and slowly, “I I have never thought about continuing to live after completing this task. I have never thought about the possibility of this. I have been wandering in this world for too many years, but now I suddenly find myself thinking about my future life. This thing makes me a little… at a loss.
Duncan looked at the other party seriously: “If you are not happy, I can ‘fire’ you. It only takes a moment, and you can get the ‘long sleep’ you want.
After hearing this sentence, the sailor’s expression suddenly changed slightly, and then He adjusted his posture unnaturally: “Ah, this…_It’s not that…”
An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Duncan’s mouth. He crossed his arms and looked at the sea shrouded in mist: After all, Do you really want to sleep now?”
The sailor was silent for a longer time this time. It seemed that he had never seriously thought about this issue until now. He suddenly fell into deep thought on this matter.
I don’t know how long it took .
, the mummy suddenly moved, and a hoarse voice came hesitantly: “This world is still as cold as ice to me.
“But the new world will get warmer,” Duncan said lightly. “There, maybe you can no longer be a corpse, or maybe, the corpse can still feel the warmth.
The sailor raised his head, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: ” New world?”
“Have you forgotten what you said? What I want to do will definitely come true. There will be a new world in the future. This is what you said yourself.” Duncan lowered his head and looked calmly into the sailor’s eyes. “Do you still believe it now?”
After a moment of silence, the sailor nodded: …I believe it, I believe it at any time.
“Very good, then just wait and see with your own eyes,” Duncan laughed, ” I think that would be a good place and the story of Sea Song. Many things should be meaningfully told by the people involved. Since you want it to be passed down to the future, then do it yourself.
The sailor kept a slightly sluggish posture and listened to the captain’s words. After a long time, the deep and deep wrinkles on the corpse’s face suddenly relaxed, and he smiled, although it was still ugly and terrifying: “
Okay
, I figured it out.”
He slowly stood up and looked at the still cold world, the wrinkles on his face were more relaxed than before: “I want to see the new world, Captain, I really don’t want to die.
“Duncan breathed out, smiled, stepped forward and patted the other party’s shoulder, “Then it’s not dead. It’s
late
at night, and in seven hours, it will be the time when the Lost Home and the Brilliant Star are scheduled to set sail.
The resting crew members gathered on the deck, and Alice came to the bridge at the stern again. A doll lady stood in front of the dark steering wheel with a tight face, more serious than ever,
while the Brilliant Star stopped quietly .
Next to the Lost Home, waiting to set off.
“Relax,” Duncan said to the doll in a gentle tone, standing next to Alice. “You have tried it once, and the ship is ready. Press the last button.” That’ll do.
“Yeah!” Alice nodded stiffly, took a step forward with a decisive expression, and reached out to the particularly heavy-looking steering wheel.
Before the puppet’s fingers touched the steering wheel, Duncan said. Fanna and I turned back at the same time and looked again at the depths of the archipelago, looking at the misty sea. In the center of the sea surrounded by the archipelago, a gentle sound of waves came as if it were real and imaginary, as if to say goodbye.
Duncan said to He nodded slightly in that direction and said softly in a voice that only he could hear: “Goodbye, I will see you again.”
The next second, the puppet’s finger touched the steering wheel of the Lost Home, and No. 3’s executive authority began to take over the entire ship.
A huge illusion descended from the sky. Under the chaotic skylight, the fragmented projection of the New Hope arrived. The rapidly spreading shadow enveloped the Homeless Ship, the Brilliant Star and a large area of the surrounding sea area. Then, a The illusive and distorted voice seemed to penetrate the distant time and echo in the depths of everyone’s mind:
…the jump engine is started, and the New Hope will set sail…May we reach our distant destination See you again, and the hope of the future awaits us all…
The sounds full of interference and distortion gradually dissipated, and the entire foggy sea gradually dissipated. Outside the sides of the Lost Home and the Bright Star, The entire world quickly loses all color and detail and returns to that familiar, monotonous, uniform “grey” color.
Only the ancient shadow of the New Hope still floated over the two ships, like a sheltering figure spreading its wings.
Alice held the steering wheel tightly and stared at the distant front with wide eyes – countless “silk threads” connected her, connecting the Lost Home and the Brilliant Star, as well as the projection of the New Hope, she His thoughts have temporarily left the body of this puppet, and turned into the will and guidance of navigation.
The route ahead is clear…. Navigating to the node at the end of the world.
At the same time, the long night still shrouds the boundless sea–under the long night, the new “order” established for survival has begun to operate.
A piece of brilliant “sunshine” is slowly moving on the sea. The heavy tractor ship drags the heavy sun fragments and sails on the long route between city-states. The pale golden light is centered on the tractor ship and spreads out for tens of kilometers. , and in that place filled with pale golden light, there are countless large and small cargo ships.
The fleets sailing between city-states set sail with the moving sunshine, and the powerful steam core drives them across the endless night. The captains will transport important supplies to cities that urgently need them, and send them together, There is also sunshine that represents hope. They will stay in a city for three to five days. When the sunshine dispels the darkness and distortion of the city, and when the defenders of the city-state can breathe, the fleet will set off again, loaded with new goods. Go with the sun to your next destination.
Across the entire boundless sea, there are more and more fleets transporting sunlight and supplies.
The city-state alliance in the north has begun to operate as planned, and in the central sea area, the new “Sunshine Route” centered on Plande has completed the first ocean-going material transportation under night. In Phaeron, the White Oak served as the pilot ship, leading the tugboat dragging the sun fragments to break through the blockade of night and reconnecting the isolated cities. In the distant Breeze Port, several teams formed by the church personally The fleet has sailed into the night. They will go to Moko and Lunsa to break the blockade in the night.
The sun is flowing in the long night, and fleets of ships are sailing in this sinking world, just like the pioneers who explored the dark islands in ancient times, holding axes and torches in the wild forests, constantly fighting against each other. The darkness that has been extended and deepened day by day, as this giant named “civilization” gradually enters its decline, does everything it can to maintain the flow of blood in the body of E.
Taran El stood on the tallest tower of Breeze Port, looking at the pale golden light that was fading away on the sea with some ecstasy. He saw a huge luminous geometric body like a crystal cast by light, moving on the heavy tug ship. It was dragged towards the night, and in the fading sunlight, countless small and large boat shadows were vaguely visible.
That is the first cargo fleet to set off from Qingfeng Port. They will travel through this long night in the next seven days, under the protection of the sun, delivering supplies to Moko, and then set off from there to try to go further away. The central sea area, and enters the “Sunshine Route” established by Pulande, and achieves “docking” with the transportation line there
. If all goes well, the central sea area and the southern sea area will be reconnected after that.
But now, Qingfeng Harbor has sunk into night.
The “sunshine” that has always shrouded the city-state in the past year has left. The Breeze Harbor, which was once protected by the sun, has truly faced this long night for the first time. Now darkness has fallen in all the neighborhoods, and the gas lamps are burning in the night. The light was on, and the outline of the city was outlined in Taran El’s field of vision.
Footsteps came from behind. Taran El did not look back, and he already knew who was coming.
“To be honest, I’m a little sad, Ted, do you know this feeling?” He said casually, “In the past almost the whole year, I have spent most of my time studying that sun fragment. It almost became a breeze. Many people in Hong Kong, including me, never thought that that thing would leave this place.
“It is now more than just a research sample. After Vision 001 fell, it has become the lifeline of many city-states. “Part of the story,” Tadel, the Keeper of Truth, came to the edge of the terrace and looked at the night city below with Taran,… I received an order from the academy, and survival will become the first priority for all city-states and everyone in the future. Mission, everything else must make way for it.
Taran El listened silently and said nothing. After a long time, he sighed and broke the silence: “Let’s go for a walk on the dock. “
