Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 667 Today's Ocean

"—You're leaving New Yaromon Bay? At a time like this?"

In the office, Xia Le almost couldn't hold back his expression.

"It's like this." Song Shi explained: "I'm not leaving New Yalomon Bay, I just have to go on a long journey temporarily."

"Well, let me analyze it for you."

Song Shi coughed.

"Now in New Yaromon Bay, no one is dissatisfied and no one dares to have any intentions. The Rust Alliance, Sons of the Sea Soul and other local forces are either gone or completely taken over by us. Including the aid and manpower provided by the company to them, I killed them all."

"At least in the short term, the company will not be interested in doing new things here." Song Shi pulled open the curtains, and a large expanse of blue came into view: "Their first goal is always to let the Enlightened Ones stay here to welcome the first wave of invasion in the future. The rest of us fighting a security war, repeated internal friction, etc., are just minor details."

"So even if I leave here temporarily, it won't..."

"Okay, you don't need to say anything." Xia Le sighed: "Look at what you said, if you want to leave, can we stop you?"

She shrugged. "And there's nothing wrong with what you said."

"Rather, if the Nine Imperial Defense comes to a standstill without a CEO, then that would be a real problem."

Then he left in a very abrupt manner.

Song Shi climbed down through the window.

The salty and fishy wind blew on my face, but it no longer felt nauseating as before. If I had to make a metaphor, it would be that the "New Alormon Bay" was like being soaked in a basin of water, washed and stirred for three days and nights, and what was fished out of the muddy sewage was the city with its original color.

“Pretty.”

After activating the [Black Body Curtain], Song Shi selectively absorbed a portion of the light and heat, and in the eyes of ordinary people, he became an invisible person in the literal sense. Even if someone turned on the thermal imaging vision of the artificial eye, they would still see nothing.

"But washing things is indeed much more troublesome than smashing things."

A casual sigh slipped away through the gaps in the clouds.

Without choosing a vehicle, Song Shi had to run entirely on his own this time.

It was neither urgent nor slow to help Lapis Lazuli. The other party's urgent communication earlier was more like taking out insurance in advance than a last-minute effort.

Like the executioner behind the tent, make sure the table can be overturned at any time.

It is foreseeable that at this moment, this group of united intelligent machines are probably still exchanging opinions fiercely, arguing and engaging in fights.

No wonder the other party came looking for me.

The night before yesterday, when both parties were about to go offline.

"—asking a question that isn't really a question."

Song Shi remembered how he asked.

"You need to find outside help to ensure that you have the power to suppress the entire situation. It's not that I can't do it, but if you want to be the safest bet, you should find Chakoro. He can make every omnic who says 'oppose' swallow the words back."

And Lapis Lazuli's answer was extremely straightforward.

"First, Chakoro Vaughn has too much responsibility to take action. Second, he is under too much and too mixed scrutiny. If he dies, the omnics are not yet ready to enter the public eye."

"Third." The omnic said, "His identity is not suitable. Do you understand?"

--call!

The wind was raging. The sea was retreating like a flying bird. If the sea area of ​​New Yalomon Bay was a viscous, flowing muddy slurry, then what Song Shi saw at this moment was a surging undercurrent.

As the crab with dark red claws walked past the reef, the ground suddenly exploded and a conger eel that had been lurking for a long time bit through its shell. In the next moment, the rising dust mist, the crab and the conger eel disappeared at the same time. The huge creature swam slowly and turned to look for its next meal.

Song Shi noticed that this sea beast, which looked like a frilled shark but was the size of a car, had a rusty mechanical device growing out of its gills. Flesh and blood were tangled with wires, like a new neural network, which had a deformed but abundant vitality.

Symbiosis.

Or rather, fusion.

Judging from the appearance of the machine, it was most likely a detection module of an autonomous armed unit that was deployed into the ocean in the past, but was somehow pulled off. It drifted along the way, and who knows what happened along the way. In the end, it reached a certain fusion state with the frilled shark and provided it with biological detection services.

But such "God knows" is not too uncommon in the sea nowadays.

The Seven Lands War was fought without any taboos. In addition to the conventional naval battles on the surface, in order to gain a little advantage from other areas, all parties dumped countless things into the sea, including proliferation machines, autonomous armed units, ghost submarines, biological and chemical weapons, and even high-level psychics bombarding the enemy.

After all these years, no one can figure out how the ocean has changed.

The only thing that is certain is that it has become extremely dangerous.

However, for the Enterprise Alliance, or more precisely, for several companies such as [Time Sequence Passage], this is a unique and beautiful market environment. Especially the former, relying on its strong technical strength in this area, it has almost monopolized the shipping and transportation business of the Enterprise Alliance, and has organized a large fleet cluster to ensure its position as the hegemon of the sea.

"Um"

Song Shi was still galloping.

When the land completely fades from sight and is replaced by the unchanging ocean, it will bring people an irresistible sense of irritation. After the initial novelty, quite a few people would rather stay in the cabin than go to the deck again.

But these are not a problem for Song Shi.

“——Found it.”

At a certain moment, Song Shi's momentum suddenly stopped.

The signal compass provided by Lapis Lazuli lit up.

Putting the compass in his pocket, Song Shi stretched his body, and folded his flaming wings behind him, like an osprey preparing to descend.

The next moment, it was thousands of meters high and it was gone in a flash.

Song Shi rushed into the sea, like a perfectly polished knife, cutting the water with an extremely sharp edge. However, such a huge kinetic energy did not create much momentum, because the moment the sea water touched the young man, the flames would evaporate the former and forcibly create a vacuum field underwater.

Seven breaths later, an underwater drone disguised as a yellow trevally approached. Its eyes flickered, as if it was taken over by some distant existence.

"Go this way." Lapis Lazuli's voice came from the fish's body: "Be careful, we have deployed a lot of defense measures here."

"Defensive measures? I don't find that threatening to me."

"So you have to be careful." Lapis Lazuli said, "These are not cheap."

Following the fish, we turned around and around, shuttled between strange reefs, shipwrecks and marine plants, and finally plunged into the seabed covered with calcium mud.

A powerful suction force came from the valve hidden behind the mud.

Song Shi did not resist and allowed the suction force to pull him in.

Then, the world became a new place.
