Industrial Cthulhu, starting from the island lord

Chapter 244 Didn’t you notice that she disappeared?

"Then be careful when you recruit."

Zeus is also desperate, and he is trying everything he can to save the world. If he really can't deal with the rising sea level, then muddying the water is indeed an option. Who knows what variables the emergence of a new evil god will bring.

"Don't worry, I'm an expert in this area. I'll contact Castel and make sure there's no other way before releasing the evil god. I won't do anything rash."

Well, if you think about it carefully, it is true. The Fire Moths are careful when it comes to the specific steps of doing things, but the things they decide to do are usually crazy.
The crew cabin was filled to the brim with piles of ceremonial supplies. Chloe's estimate was quite accurate, and they finally managed to fit everything in - in fact, some of it was already hanging outside the airship.

But at least it didn't affect the flight. After the engineer made confirmation, the second airship gradually took off. Chloe's orange-red hair was blown by the wind in the air, which reminded Hughes of the sunset.

"Xius, wait for my good news!"

The people below waved at the airship until it gradually disappeared into the sky.

The last airship carried the banshees. They were heading to the most dangerous eye of the storm. In addition to basic supplies, they also carried armor and weapons.

Generally speaking, armor is not used at sea. Even pirates only wear a set of hard leather armor at most. No one wears slightly heavier half-body armor - if you fall into the sea while wearing armor, you are basically dead.

But the Banshees are different. They are creatures of the sea, and their power is exaggerated.

A set of banshee armor starts at several hundred kilograms, and only the strongest humans can lift it. However, when the banshees put it on, it doesn't even affect their activities much.

Nini tried it in the pool and found that wearing heavy armor did not put much burden on their movements underwater, so they also carried armor.

Swim underwater while wearing heavy armor.
It can only be said that the banshees are worthy of being an extraordinary race. They swim underwater with the blessing of extraordinary power, not just relying on the swinging of the snake's tail. After all, Zeus doesn't even have a tail, but he can still move freely underwater by relying on the symbiotic contract.

In addition to heavy armor, the Banshees also prepared a number of steam rifles and bombs.

Several of Zeus's guns cannot be fired in water, but the steam rifle can, and the bomb has successfully killed sea urchin monsters. Considering that there is a high probability of monsters in the sea of the eye of the storm, this team of banshees is fully equipped.

Nini left a sea snake here with Xius. Although the distance was too far to communicate using the mind link, and it was impossible to control the sea snake left here,
This sea snake is proof that she is still alive.

Most of the banshee's spells will dissipate directly after the master's death, but Nini, the sea snake, can last for a month. As long as the sea snake is still there, it means that Nini is at least not dead.

The banshees have a symbiotic contract. The five banshees in the eye of the storm are too far away from here. They are an independent entity and share life. If Zeus discovers that the sea snakes have disappeared one day, it means that all the banshees are dead.

Until then.
Xiu Si looked at the factory in the distance. After building three airships, the factory did not stop production. Instead, more production lines were opened. Now there were seven airships being manufactured at the same time.

Richard in the factory felt Hughes's gaze, took off his hat and saluted him. He was also a transcendent of the Nymph Path. After Chloe left, he used his ability to make the airship skin.

In front of Xius, Nini was slowly explaining every detail of the airship to Una. If all the banshees were killed, Una would take more banshees on the newly built airship to take over again.

It's not just the Banshee group. Every airship has a reserve team. The airship is equipped with a sturdy, unsinkable iron box that serves as a black box. Each team member will regularly leave the content of their investigation in it. If they fail, this will be their last words to those who come after them.

The pioneers cut through the thorns and thorns, and when they fall, more people will follow.

The airship took off. Zeus watched the smaller and smaller black dot disappear into the sky. He gritted his teeth and left.

The Fire Moth researchers and Banshees also dispersed, leaving behind their brothers and sisters, but they didn't have much time to linger. Everyone still had responsibilities to fulfill.

After returning to the office and discussing with Alexi about adding machine gun positions on the fortress, Hughes hesitated for a while and decided to let Gaia come over.

At that time, Gaia, Chloe and Monica summoned the Noisier together. He wanted to try to replicate it on the airship, or directly awaken the airship's machine spirit.

Can airships have organic souls?
"Connor! Ask Gaia to come over." Hughes shouted outside the door while looking for the blueprints of the airship.

The door opened, and a little head popped in. Zoe said carefully, "My Lord, Connor has taken the airship to the mainland."

It took Zeus two seconds to react. Connor had been following him since he came to the island, and he was a little uncomfortable with his sudden departure.

"Well, then go call her."

Zoe nodded and quickly left.

She used to be the principal of the school, but now the school has been occupied by monsters, and the teaching is also taken over by the researchers of the Fire Moth. She suddenly found that she had nothing to do.

Come to think of it, the only reason she could teach at school was because of her literacy. Now that most people on the island had completed basic literacy classes, there wasn't much more she could teach.

Recently she came to Xius to help with some odd jobs and also attended some advanced classes. She was not very interested in factories and machinery, and she didn't think too much about where she would go in the future. She just wanted to get through the current difficulties first.

She was originally a maid in the manor, so Connor handed the rest of the work to her.

Soon, Gaia followed Zoe to Hughes' office, where Ash was discussing something with Hughes.

When Xius saw Gaia, his eyes lit up. "You've come just in time. How's the explosives production line going?"

Ash had just come to him, hoping to assign more explosive packs to the Banshees. After experiments on the battlefield, Ash found that throwing explosive packs was the most suitable method for the Banshees.

The banshees are extremely strong and have good throwing accuracy, so their killing efficiency is much higher than shooting.

"The production capacity of explosives is increasing rapidly. With the saltpeter mine, we can already produce it in large quantities." Gaia replied without hesitation: "Don't worry, we will definitely have a supply."

Hughes nodded.

"By the way, there's one more thing. Do you and Monica want to try summoning the Machine Spirit again? You're now a Fire Moth. Chloe should have given you the relevant ritual procedures, right?"

Hughes turned to look at Ash: "Remember to keep an eye on Monica and don't let her mess up."

Ash and Gaia looked at each other, confusion on both their faces.

"I do have the ritual procedures here."

Ash said hesitantly, "Who is Monica?"
