Haiyan stopped. “海燕号”停下来了。 When this fearful charge stops, it had almost turned into one pile of fragments under the unceasing fire bombardment continually, the original hull structure is nothing left, even could not find a complete deck or the building wreckage, the torn into shreds hull and internal material like splash fill the air in the sea level, among the torn to pieces wreckage floats the black mud that is proliferating slowly, the flame that surviving has not extinguished in these fragments burns, the filthy thick smoke ascends rolling. 当这可怕的冲锋者停下来的时候,它几乎已经在连番不断的炮火轰击下变成了一堆碎片,原本的船体结构早已荡然无存,甚至找不到一片完整的甲板或建筑残骸,被撕碎的船壳和内部物质如泼洒般弥漫在海面上,支离破碎的残骸之间漂浮着缓缓扩散开来的黑色泥浆,残存未熄的火焰则在这些碎片之间燃烧,污浊的浓烟滚滚升腾。 In the petrel number had charged in way, all proliferated these as if mud strange material —— ominous black to outline a several-nautical mile belt-shaped trace when the sea water, some as if software lifeform came ashore to crawl the disgusting mucilage that left behind was common, floated slowly fluctuating along with the storm in the sea level, lingered. 而在海燕号曾经冲锋过的路径上,全都遍布着那些仿佛泥浆般的诡异物质——不祥的黑色在海水中勾勒出了一道长达十几海里的带状痕迹,仿佛某种软体生物上岸爬行时留下的恶心粘液一般,在海面上随风浪缓缓漂动起伏,经久不散。 Whooshing of Anfang artillery stopped, the strong gunsmoke aura fills the air on the entire coastline, Lister decides is gazing at the combustion wreckage in distant sea level, long time dares to believe firmly that thing has really stopped completely, hesitates was breaking silent: „Finished?” 岸防炮的嘶吼停了下来,浓烈的硝烟气息弥漫在整个海岸线上,李斯特定定地注视着远方海面上的燃烧残骸,良久才敢确信那东西真的已经完全停下,迟疑着打破了沉默:“结束了？” „...... Also possibly is only a start,” Agatha voice hoarse, her eyeground often has the pale glimmer to flash through, although Haiyan has stopped the activity, she in did not feel relieved that observes the scene in Spirit World unceasingly, to confirm in these wreckage whether also has the thing to turn toward City-State to move, „don't forget, the petrel number returned after Dagger Island an issue.” “……也可能只是个开始,”阿加莎嗓音略带沙哑,她的眼底不时有苍白微光闪过,尽管“海燕号”已经停止活动,她仍在不放心地不断观察灵界中的景象,以确认那些残骸中是否还有东西在向着城邦移动,“别忘了,海燕号是从匕首岛返回之后出的问题。” The Lister expression becomes very ugly/difficult to look at. 李斯特的表情变得十分难看。 „When does that island feed in the news for the last time is?” “那座岛最后一次传回消息是什么时候？” „Before several hours, the telegram pass on message expressed that in island all normal,” Lister deeply frowned, „the Spirit World communication of church also always has no issue.” “就在数小时前,电报传讯表示岛上一切正常,”李斯特眉头紧锁,“教堂的灵界通讯也始终没什么问题。” „...... Blocks Dagger Island, colonel mister, from now on, do not believe uploads any news that from that island,” Agatha puts out foul air gently, „I return to Cathedral now, believes that more further blockade order will issue quickly.” “……封锁匕首岛吧,上校先生,从现在开始,不要相信从那座岛上传出来的任何消息,”阿加莎轻轻吐出一口浊气,“我现在就返回大教堂,相信更进一步的封锁命令很快就会下达的。” „Thank your help, Ms. Agatha.” “感谢您的帮助,阿加莎女士。” „All for the peace of City-State,” Agatha said in a soft voice, is reading aloud the brief admonition in death scripture, „myriad things are ordered.” “一切都是为了城邦的安宁,”阿加莎轻声说道,念诵着死亡圣典中的简短箴言,“万物有序。” ...... …… Before a half hour . 半小时前。 Broadcast the slating sound from very far place, one after another, even is one by one crowded, transmits the direction judgment that from the sound, seems like near the City-State east side coast. 从很远的地方传来了雷鸣般的声音,接二连三,甚至一阵比一阵密集,从声音传来的方向判断,似乎是在城邦东侧的海岸附近。 Duncan raised the head, looks at the sound to transmit the direction the sky, can see that indistinctly that side as if there is cloud cluster to ascend. 邓肯抬起头,看着声音传来方向的天空,隐隐约约可以看到那边似乎有云团升腾起来。 „What sound is that?” Alice a little held the head anxiously, not handles looks at Duncan, „thundered?” “那是什么声音？”爱丽丝有点紧张地扶了扶脑袋,无措地看着邓肯,“是打雷了吗？” „Sounds the sound of probably great artillery,” another side Vanna actually changed the complexion slightly, „Anfang artillery? What happened, why will have the Anfang artillery salvo......” “听上去像是巨炮的动静,”另一边的凡娜却微微变了脸色,“岸防炮？发生什么事了,为什么会有岸防炮齐射……” On the Duncan face has expression looking pensive, he first thinks that is oneself hands over the report in that old guarding hand, remembers, was direction —— that Dagger Island was is really foreseen accurately by oneself? 邓肯脸上则带着若有所思的表情,他第一时间想到的,就是自己交到那位老看守手中的举报信,紧接着想起的,便是匕首岛所在的方向——真被自己料中了？ The fluttering sound resounds from the nearby suddenly, the fat pigeon that seems like not the eye whips the wing to soar from the shadow of side building, flies rapidly to the distant place. 振翅声突然从附近响起,一只看上去不怎么起眼的肥鸽子拍打着翅膀从旁边建筑物的阴影中腾空而起,迅速飞向远方。 „Does not need to be worried, I made Ai examine the situation,” Duncan said, then raised the head, looked that as if slightly has the house of year to this at present, „continued the situation in this house.” “不必担心,我让艾伊去查看情况了,”邓肯说道,接着抬起头,看向眼前这栋似乎略有年头的房屋,“继续说说这座房子的情况吧。” Nearby Morris light cough two, the bellow that is continuing a moment ago interrupted introduction —— distant place hears although indistinctly is still continuing immediately, but since Captain is so tranquil, there is nothing to be worried obviously: „ This house is I and Vanna the —— another three sets of four sets of rented house choosing is approaching the place of town center either, does not help act, the house condition is too either bad, not suitable housing, at present this, although was also older, but the landlord is very good to maintenance in house, inside is also very clean. 一旁的莫里斯立刻轻咳两声,继续着刚才被中断的介绍——尽管远方隐约传来的轰鸣声仍然在持续,但既然船长都如此平静,那就显然没什么可担心的:“这栋房子是我和凡娜从四套出租房屋中挑选出来的——另外三套要么是在过于靠近市中心的地方,不便于行动,要么房屋本身条件太差,不适合居住,眼下这座虽然也旧了一些,但房东对房子的保养情况很好,里面也挺干净。 „ This house is oak street No. 44, the next door is the fireplace avenue, the landlord has the dwelling that side the fireplace avenue, usually will not disturb, between two blocks has the alley to be connected, the chapel is located in small squares between two blocks, has a distance to here...... “这栋房子是橡木街44号,隔壁就是壁炉大街,房东在壁炉大街那边另有住处,平日不会来打扰,两条街区之间有小路相连,小教堂则位于两个街区之间的小广场上,离这里有一段距离…… „What we walk is rents the contract short long, the mean diurnal rent rents to be more expensive, but can return a house momentarily, at present pays on account half a month rent —— I and Vanna has seen giving up for adoption east, is a quite good speech and educated madam, she after knowing my travel scholar status delivered some daily necessities to come very much naturally......” “我们走的是短租契约,平均日租金比长租要贵一些,但随时可以退房,目前暂付了半个月的租金——我和凡娜已经见过房东,是一位比较好说话、有教养的女士,她在得知我的旅行学者身份之后很大方地送了一些生活必需品过来……” Duncan listens to the venerable to introduce carefully, is also sizing up at present this temporary temporary lodging. 邓肯听着老先生仔细的介绍,同时也在打量着眼前这座临时落脚处。 This is an alone building that has the typical north City-State characteristics, the iron grey outer wall is slightly rough, the spreading the good porous mortar maintaining warmth, the house altogether has two, the window is quite narrow, by the black front door has the wall lamp and mailbox opens the mouth, its roof stands tall and erect steeply, is spreading the black tile, to help the snow melt and fall off, the steam and gas pipeline extend from the block thick pipeline, sends in the construction along the gable. 这是一座有着典型北方城邦特征的独栋建筑,灰白色的外墙略显粗糙,涂覆着保暖性良好的多孔灰浆,房屋共有两层,窗户较为狭窄,黑色的大门旁有壁灯和邮箱开口,其屋顶高耸陡峭,铺着黑色瓦片,以便于积雪融化、脱落,蒸汽和瓦斯管道则从街区上空的粗大管道中延伸出来,沿着山墙送入建筑内部。 It is not the luxurious residence, but has more than enough to spare —— as the temporary temporary lodging even Pland that two little building who has both the shop and housing function was more spacious than little. 算不上多豪华的居所,但作为临时落脚处绰绰有余——甚至比普兰德那座兼具店铺和住房功能的二层小楼还宽敞了一点点。 Arranges Morris and Vanna solves the stopping over problem is really on correct option —— this matter ship others may not handle. 安排莫里斯和凡娜去解决落脚问题果然是个正确选项——这事儿船上其他人可搞不定。 Morris walks to go forward, fishes out the key to open the front door from the pocket, Duncan brings Alice to follow. 莫里斯走上前,从兜里摸出钥匙打开大门,邓肯带着爱丽丝紧随其后。 Entering the front door is takes off shoes to trade the threshold to buddhism of clothes, later then also calculates the spacious living room, on the wall is pasting slightly some shallow trace wallpapers of turning yellow, the restaurant and living room are connected, another bedroom is located by the restaurant, the staircase to second floor to the front door, as if most bedrooms was placing second floor. 进入大门是脱鞋换衣的玄关,随后便是还算宽敞的客厅,墙壁上贴着略有些发黄的浅纹路壁纸,餐厅与客厅相连,另有一间卧室位于餐厅旁边,通往二楼的楼梯正对着大门,似乎大部分卧室都放在了二楼。 The floor steps on somewhat to be slightly loose, sends out to symbolize the slight creaking sound that Time is passing, the simple furniture are exuding the glow under the sunlight, cannot see how much dust, on the table of restaurant may see that one bunch of color bright bouquet of flowers —— obviously are the artificial flowers that arrange/cloth Zhihuo the plastic makes. 地板踩上去略有些松动,发出象征着岁月流逝的轻微嘎吱声,朴素的桌椅在阳光下泛着辉光,看不到多少尘土,餐厅的桌子上则可看到一束色彩鲜艳的花束——显然是布质或塑料制成的假花。 „This is also the landlord sends, it is said is Cold Frost here custom, the landlord will prepare one bunch to the new lessee not in the winter flower on the wane, indicates the health and security.” “这也是房东送来的,据说是寒霜这边的规矩,房东给新租客准备一束不会在冬天凋零的花,预示着健康和安全。” „...... Actually each place has the marvelous custom,” the Duncan happy expression said that „this place also good......, moreover is far away from the main road, usually should be also quite quiet.” “……倒是每个地方都有奇妙的规矩,”邓肯略带笑意地说道,“这地方还不错……而且远离主干道,平常应该也会比较清静。” Is saying, he while raised the head, looks to second floor: „As if can receives to do the homework Nina and Shirley, they have started to complain on the ship bored.” 一边说着,他一边抬起头,看向二楼:“似乎可以把妮娜和雪莉接过来写作业,她们在船上已经开始抱怨无聊了。” The Vanna corners of the mouth shook immediately: „...... Shirley truly is possibly boring in the complaint, but I guess that her goal does not come to the city to do the homework.” 凡娜嘴角顿时抖了一下:“……雪莉可能确实在抱怨无聊,但我猜她的目的并不是来城里写作业。” Duncan beckons with the hand: „It doesn't matter, she should also try hard —— Doggy even to be able roughly to understand the newspaper now, Shirley also the spelling fights with 12 common vegetables, I was worried, her Alice about her future cannot catch up this way.” 邓肯摆摆手:“无所谓,她也该努努力了——现在阿狗甚至能大致看懂报纸,雪莉还在跟十二种常见蔬菜的拼写搏斗,我对她的未来深感担忧,再这样下去她连爱丽丝都追不上了。” The one side is actually not stronger than Shirley to Alice where goes to pulls the hair, shows the human and animals harmless smile: „Hehe......” 一旁其实并没比雪莉强到哪去的爱丽丝抓了抓头发,露出人畜无害的笑容:“嘿嘿……” Duncan is unemotional: „I have not praised your —— you and Shirley the word of understanding cannot surpass a dog is not a proud matter.” 邓肯面无表情:“我没夸你——你和雪莉加起来认识的单词超不过一只狗并不是一件值得骄傲的事情。” Alice fell into jamming suddenly, seemed pondering carefully oneself and word of Shirley understanding adds to surpass Doggy, but in this meeting time, the indistinct bellow that hears from the distant place unceasingly also stops finally gradually. 爱丽丝一时间陷入了卡壳,似乎在仔细思考自己和雪莉认识的单词加起来到底有没有超过阿狗,而就在这会功夫,从远方不断传来的隐隐约约的轰鸣声也终于渐渐止息。 „Sound stopped......” Vanna to incline the head and listen attentively the sound of distant place. “声音停下来了……”凡娜侧耳倾听着远方的动静。 Duncan has not spoken, is only because of that fuzzy spiritual connection, the sensation Ai the situation in the distant place finding out by secret inquiry. 邓肯没有说话,只是藉由那模模糊糊的精神联系,感知着艾伊在远方所探知到的情况。 After such a long time wearing and the adaptation, now relation between he and Ai the far ratio is most from the beginning close and clear, when the attention enough concentrates, he even can share the Ai other fields of vision as well as part sensations, as well as taking advantage of Ai this springboard, in the situation that in the main body does not set out transmits part of strengths. 经过这么长时间的磨合与适应,现在他与艾伊之间的联系已经远比最一开始要紧密、清晰,在注意力足够集中的时候,他甚至可以共享艾伊的视野以及部分其他感知,以及借着艾伊这个跳板,在本体不出动的情况下传输一部分力量。 The Cold Frost eastern harbor region, the chubby pigeon is standing in a turret, the sea level that small eye of round looks at hazy, looks to the harbor. 寒霜东部港口区域,胖乎乎的白鸽正站在一座塔楼上,圆溜溜的小眼睛一只看着烟雾弥漫的海面,一只看向港口。 Black that these is upon the jump in the soldier and sea level that fill in the harbor „greasy dirt” to reflect, in it is jumping slightly in the eye of green flame. 那些在港口上跑来跑去的士兵以及海面上弥漫开的黑色“油污”倒映在它微微跳跃着绿色火光的眼中。 „Temporarily does not need to be worried,” Duncan receives looks to the distant place „line of sight”, nods to Morris and Vanna gently, „an invasion, but had been blocked by the Cold Frost person.” “暂时不必担心了,”邓肯收回望向远方的“视线”,对莫里斯和凡娜轻轻点头,“一场入侵,但已经被寒霜人拦了下来。” The Vanna complexion slightly changed: „Invasion?!” 凡娜脸色微微变了变:“入侵？！” „Without guessing wrong, should realize from the Dagger Island —— Cold Frost person now the gravity of issue, the thing on that island wants to come out should again not to be so easy,” the Duncan tone is quite tranquil, „present Tyrian has also arrived around Dagger Island, his Sea Mist fleet can make the mood of Cold Frost authority further tie tight —— no matter what, after the entire city starts to declare martial law, will hide Annihilationists in city will definitely have an action to perform, at that time wants to ask to be simpler them.” “如果没猜错的话,来自匕首岛——寒霜人现在应该已经意识到了问题的严重性,那座岛上的东西再想出来应该没那么容易了,”邓肯的语气却颇为平静,“现在提瑞安也已经来到匕首岛附近,他的海雾舰队会让寒霜当局的情绪进一步紧绷起来——不管怎样,当全城都开始戒严之后,隐藏在城里的湮灭教徒肯定会有所动作,那时候想把他们找出来就简单多了。” At this moment, knock suddenly resounded, interrupted the conversation in living room. 就在这时,一阵敲门声突然响起,打断了客厅里的交谈。 Some Duncan surprise look to the entrance. 邓肯有些诧异地看向门口。 Just moved to have the guest? 刚搬过来就有客人？ „I open the door,” Morris said that before taking a step to arrive at the gate, after opening the door, actually voices the surprise the sound, „you are......” “我去开门,”莫里斯说了一句,迈步来到门前,开门之后却发出诧异的声音,“你是……” A wear white thick coat, wears the little miss of yarn hat to stand in the entrance. 一个穿着白色厚外套、戴着毛线帽子的小姑娘正站在门口。 ( Mother!) (妈耶！)
