The two swords were thrust diagonally to the left and right, and sure enough, two sailors in sailor uniforms were frantically raising their weapons behind the door.
They didn't resemble zombies at all; instead, they seemed more like ordinary people who had fallen into a state of madness.
Kerry and his men quickly entered the cabin, which was covered in blood. It seemed that the two men had gone mad and killed the rest of the crew. Seeing this, they were at a loss as they looked at the pile of glowing parts in the cockpit.
only……
"Crench!"
Suddenly, the group felt the boat rocking, and the four of them grabbed onto whatever was beside them to steady themselves.
"It's coming!"
Suddenly, the group sensed something powerful approaching from below!
It's Geraki!
"Boom!"
A dull thud came from below, and the small boat immediately rocked again.
Several people could even see the boat starting to drift away from the land, thankfully held fast by the ropes...
Before their eyes, several zombies still wearing military uniforms climbed onto the shore, their target being the steel ring securing the rope!
"That thing wanted to drag us into the sea!"
Kazuma immediately realized what was happening and spoke to the person next to him.
Wise! Whether it was their initial attack the moment they boarded the ship, their subsequent surprise attack, or their current attempt to send them and the ship into the sea!
This time, the prey was even more cunning than foxes and jackals!
Kerry didn't care about anything else. He bent down to steady his swaying lower body and ran like a swift leopard through the cabin, rushing onto the deck.
However, he was met with a volley of bullets.
The monsters, still wearing special operations uniforms, raised their guns and pulled the triggers on the first Kerry to emerge.
The crackling sound occurred at the point where the bullets collided with the metal of the ship's hull.
The immense impact of the automatic weapon and the shaking deck forced Kerry, who was already badly injured, to insert his sword into the deck to stabilize his body.
"Kerry! Yay!"
However, Kerry was not alone. Toyokawa Shoko clung tightly to the hatch handle that swayed with the ship. Using the momentum, Shoko was thrown out as well. She held onto the hatch entrance with one hand as a fulcrum, while firing her rifle wildly with the other.
"Uh!"
The hatch swung again, and the enormous force slammed into Xiangzi's hand, which was resting on the door frame. Even through his gloves, Xiangzi felt a piercing pain.
Ignoring his bleeding hand, he resolutely raised his gun with his other hand and fired, finally taking down the two people providing cover.
The cabin was too cramped, and Xiangzi could only stand at the door while Kazuma and Kirito inside could only watch anxiously.
The moment the bullet stopped, Kerry took another step.
Flames erupted from the sword. With a leap, he crossed the distance between the boat and the wooden bridge, reaching the shore. With a horizontal slash, he decapitated the monster crouching beside the steel ring.
"Thump! Thump!"
Hearing the sound of footsteps on the planks behind him, Ke Li immediately stepped aside, and Xiangzi also leaped across the huge ditch and onto the bridge.
However, the moment he landed, Xiangzi stepped on the rope on the ground.
Because she arrived later, from her perspective, the rope had already been loosened.
Even with its head severed, the thing still managed to complete the final steps with its hands.
Upon noticing Xiangzi's movement, Keli immediately bent down to grab the rope.
"Shh!"
The rope left.
The soles of Xiao Xiang's shoes were not strong enough to withstand Xiangzi's full strength and the friction of a small boat rocking at sea.
Kirito and Kazuma, who had just arrived on the deck, could only watch helplessly as they and the shore reached a height that was impossible to jump over.
Kirito steeled himself and was about to leap into the sea, but Kazuma pulled him back.
"Throw the weapons over there!"
Kirito was taken aback and didn't understand what Kazuma meant, but he still calmly carried out the order, immediately removing his armor and throwing it towards the shore.
"then!"
Upon hearing this, Kerry and Xiangzi immediately prepared themselves and took the vocal and bass bags that Kirito tossed from afar.
"What should we do now?"
Kirito turned to look at Kazuma, who now only had the Vajra, the weapon that could bring him back to life, left with him.
"That thing is so cunning, and it even controlled our dreams. It must know that we are immortal, and some of the mechanisms behind it."
Therefore, guiding the Kree into the water to fight is indeed the optimal solution, so that every time we respawn, we will be tormented by it in the water.
But there's another possibility: it's using our weapons. The underwater weapons might be on this ship, but it seems we won't be able to get them now.
Everything else is fine, but it would be troublesome if Kerry's sword fell into the sea.
Kazuma spoke at an extremely fast pace.
Typing in your head at the same time.
[Sato Kazuma: Kerry! Don't lose your sword!]
Then Kazuma looked at Kirito, who was rocking in the sea with him.
"You deadbeat, dare to take a gamble?"
While steadily swaying his body, Kazuma threw two unpulled grenades in Kirito's direction.
"You find some underwater weapons here, I'll go distract that thing."
As Kazuma spoke, he shook the two remaining grenades on his waist.
This was the last thing he left behind before packing the weapons into a bag and throwing them to Kirito.
"You deadbeat, you deadbeat. Even I would get annoyed by that kind of nickname."
"But you should do this kind of thing. I'm not good at finding things. As compensation, you can show off this time!"
Although Kazuma didn't mention any strategy, Kirito understood it instantly.
Kirito smiled.
He grabbed the vajra at hand, flipped over the railing of the whaling ship, and leaped into the sea.
"Seriously, did they leave the most troublesome work to me?"
He cursed, but Kazuma also laughed.
Kazuma remembered that they had promised to give Kerry an underwater bomb, which was crucial to the outcome of this battle. He had called for backup from the Metropolitan Police Department but received no response. He had originally wanted to ask where the bomb was, but now it seemed hopeless.
Since it wasn't a depth charge, but rather a dropped underwater bomb, it was probably inside the ship's cabin.
"I don't know how long Kirito can hold out, but you two always say I'm the luckiest, so let me see if my luck will work!"
He glanced around, randomly picked up a box, grabbed the Buddhist axe beside him, and smashed it down.
184
Chapter 184 I couldn't stand it anymore and exploded with Grazie!
On the shore, Kerry pressed his earpiece.
"Hello? Do you have any way to support us? All the ships you sent have been wiped out. Where is the submarine?"
"Sorry! Sorry! Some citizens just drove their cars into our police line, and we just managed to stabilize the situation!"
We just contacted the submarine; they've launched and are heading your way! You must hold on! Hey! Hirono, don't fire your guns at civilians!
It seems things aren't looking too good for Inspector Megure either.
Keli and Xiangzi could only watch helplessly from the shore.
Suddenly, Kerry noticed a ring of thick hemp ropes along the shore, which were probably spares for changing and securing the boats at any time.
Meanwhile, Kirito, who had just jumped into the sea, first felt a tremendous impact.
He then forced himself to open his eyes and took a deep breath.
Just like when Kazuma asked who could swim, he was one of only two people in the team, along with Kerry, who could swim.
However, swimming and diving are different. He doesn't have the ability to return to his best condition at any time like Kerry does. Even if he doesn't breathe for a few minutes, he will probably suffer from brain hypoxia and the inactivation of various organs in his body.
Taking a deep breath, Kirito raised his head and plunged back into the water. Since he wasn't holding anything heavy, even sinking seemed like a difficult task on this sea.
The salty seawater stung his delicate eyes. Kirito looked around at the world beneath the surface. Even though the sun was high in the sky, the underwater world was not as refreshing as the surface. Instead, the whole world presented a gradient from white to deep blue and then from blue to pitch black.
After all, as Japanese language classes teach, "The sky is blue, what is its true color?" Water itself is more like something that is close to transparent, and the color of the ocean is just a reflection of light.
No… he didn’t need his eyes. Kirito closed his eyes and carefully discerned the sensation that seemed to come from none of his senses.
They were searching for the thing that had recently visited the bottom of their boat and rammed them into the sea.
felt it!
No! Or rather, the other side is coming from the deep sea towards the small boat once again.
"Gululu!"
Kirito suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of ferocity on his face. He let the bubbles he spewed from his mouth slide across his face and raised his weapon to stab underwater!
Force! A tremendous force hit him head-on! Kirito felt his entire body bearing the force of the water flow caused by the opponent's massive size moving. If this were on land, it would probably be equivalent to a dragon flapping its wings.
Then, little by little, the thing's head became slightly visible from the darkness.
First, there was the giant eyestalk that shimmered even on the seabed, followed by the face covered with egg-like structures.
Up close, the disgusting feeling remains. The snail-like soft creatures are swimming freely in the highly saline sea, but they are not as beautiful as the sea slug. Instead, there is a nauseating twist and absurdity surging within them.
Moreover, upon such close observation, one can even see some knotted tentacles growing on the top of its body.
Seemingly unsurprised that Kirito was in the sea, the twisting, forward-moving thing approached Kirito and the small boat above him at an extremely fast speed.
