The fire is thundering, the shell of burning hot howls is crashing from the sky, the giant water column raises inside and outside the harbor one after another, some water columns have almost been scratching the White Oak broad side, the sea level surges in the surges, the entire ship is swaying because of the impact, sends out disturbingly, sound. 炮火在轰鸣,炙热的炮弹呼啸着自天空坠落,巨大的水柱接二连三地在港口内外升起,其中一些水柱几乎已经擦着白橡木号的船舷,海面在翻腾涌动,整艘船都因冲击而摇晃着,发出令人不安的、吱吱嘎嘎的响声。 Lawrence and first mate Gosse leads 12 sailors to climb up the rope ladder, was shocking but not dangerous returned to the White Oak deck, but in them behind, Dagger Island was still covered by the thick fog, in the harbor of nobody left actually hung up chaotic wind suddenly, the mist revolved to tumble in the wind, seemed venomous, seems enraged by the unexpected visitor. 劳伦斯和大副格斯带领着十二名水手攀上绳梯,有惊无险地回到了白橡木号的甲板上,而在他们身后,匕首岛仍旧被浓雾笼罩,空无一人的港口上却突然挂起了一阵混乱的风,雾气在风中旋转翻滚着,仿佛充满恶意,仿佛被不速之客激怒。 The boatswains run over hurriedly, this tall seaman whole face is tight, in the hand grabs a rifle( although this no use in naval battle), he arrives in front of Lawrence, confirmed fast a Captain condition, this relaxes: „Good! Before you came back —— finally us, hears in the island to transmit thunders the same sound, you did not come back, two also think that you had an accident......” 水手长匆匆忙忙地跑了过来,这个身材高大的海员满脸紧张,手中抓着一支步枪(尽管这在海战中根本没什么用处),他来到劳伦斯面前,飞快地确认了一下船长的状态,这才松了口气:“太好了！您总算回来了——我们之前听到岛上传来打雷一样的声音,你们又一直不回来,二副还以为你们出事了……” In the Lawrence mind flashed through just one in wharf square, he remembered four sailors who that came out, remembered that sudden green roaring flame, on the face appeared the complex expression. 劳伦斯脑海中闪过刚刚在码头广场上的一幕,他想起了那多出来的四个水手,想起了那突然出现的绿色烈焰,脸上浮现出复杂的表情。 Truly had an accident, moreover matter also big —— but now obviously is not the explanation time. 确实出事了,而且事儿还不小——但现在显然不是解释的时候。 „First did not say these,” he shakes the head, „present situation how? Where is Jason at?” “先不说这些了,”他摇了摇头,“现在情况怎么样？杰森在哪？” „Two in the bridge direction fight, we are fighting with a battleship of unknown origin,” boatswain said fast, „that ship makes an appearance in very far place opens fire to us, moreover continuously in approached the —— stern toward here a moment ago an artillery, the damage was not quite luckily serious, but we must hurry to leave, White Oak possibly was not the opponent of battleship.” “二副在舰桥指挥战斗,我们正在跟一艘来历不明的战舰交手,”水手长飞快说道,“那艘船在很远的地方一露面就对我们开炮,而且一直在朝这边靠近——船尾刚才中了一炮,幸好损伤不太严重,但我们必须赶紧离开了,白橡木号不可能是战舰的对手。” „Leaves here, immediately.” Lawrence said fast. “离开这里,马上。”劳伦斯飞快地说道。 The steam core sends out low and deep thundering, the Boiling Gold catalyst the energy that starts to release to rush, the powerful actuating unit is actuating the propeller, making White Oak accelerate to leave this strange harbor, dropped the shell water columns that in neighbor unceasingly, the advanced freight transportation discovery ship that this has the pure white hull accelerated unceasingly, threw Dagger Island in thick fog. 蒸汽核心发出低沉的轰鸣,沸金触媒开始释放出澎湃的能量,强而有力的动力机构驱动着螺旋桨,令白橡木号加速离开这处诡异的港口,在附近不断落下的炮弹水柱之间,这艘有着洁白船身的先进货运探险船不断加速,将匕首岛抛在一片浓雾中。 However the raider is in hot pursuit. 然而袭击者紧追不舍。 Lawrence arrives on the bridge, behind the spacious window by bridge side is observing the situation in sea level, in a piece of boundless sea level end, he can see the sketch —— build not too big warship of that raider clearly, turns toward here to pursue while opens fire with the main artillery of bow unceasingly, bright flash times puncture cover the trim sea area the dim backdrop. 劳伦斯来到舰桥上,透过舰桥侧后方的宽大窗口观察着海面上的情况,在一片苍茫的海面尽头,他能清晰地看到那袭击者的剪影——一艘体型并不算太大的军舰,正一边向着这边追击一边不断用舰首的主炮开火,明亮的闪光一次次刺破笼罩整片海域的昏暗天幕。 Fortunately, that is a small ship, rather than a fire fierce battleship, otherwise White Oak not possible to insist in this attack now. 幸运的是,那是一艘小型舰船,而不是一艘炮火凶猛的战列舰,否则白橡木号不可能在这场袭击中坚持到现在。 Unfortunately, the speed of that ship is extremely fast, even if the White Oak speed is raised repeatedly, Lawrence still judged that ship will pursue sooner or later. 不幸的是,那艘船的速度极快,哪怕白橡木号的速度一再提升,劳伦斯仍然判断出那艘船迟早会追上来。 That ship is even still accelerating. 那艘船甚至还在加速。 „We cannot throw off it,” the tone that first mate somewhat despairs, „it too quick...... may our firepower possibly not be an opponent of warship!” “我们甩不掉它,”大副的语气有些绝望,“它太快了……可我们的火力也不可能是一艘军舰的对手！” Lawrence has not spoken, but is thinking fast. 劳伦斯没有吭声,只是飞快地思索着。 From the classification, White Oak truly is a civilian vessel, but this does not mean that it is lamb —— that treats butchers can navigate and can transport on Boundless Sea as one seal goods in various City-State for a long time the special discovery ship, it has the steam core and anti- sinking structure of army grade, moreover its dragon bone|keel, the water line hull and overtop structure have also conducted the reinforcement specially, can say that the list said from the hull strength, this ship was not weak in the battleship of the same class. 从分类上,白橡木号确实是一艘民用船只,但这并不意味着它就是一只待宰的羔羊——作为一艘能够在无垠海上长期航行、能够在各城邦间运送封印物品的特种探险船,它拥有军用级的蒸汽核心和抗沉结构,而且其龙骨、水线船壳以及上层建筑也都专门进行过加固,可以说单从船体强度讲,这艘船并不弱于同级别的战舰。 It misses, is only firepower —— after all as a civilian vessel, it can only install several small caliber piece that at most is used in resisting in the young stock pirate or the sea the monster, that thing is incapable of resisting with the warship radically. 它差的,只是火力——毕竟作为一艘民用船只,它顶多只能安装几门用于对抗小股海盗或海中怪物的小口径火炮,那东西根本无力与军舰对抗。 Will look at the present situation, White Oak is caught up with —— to wait till the distances of two ships to be nearer sooner or later, the fire hit probability of opposite party may not be such low. 看现在的情况,白橡木号迟早会被追上——等到两艘船的距离再近一些,对方的炮火命中率可就不是这么低了。 Firm hull structure, the words that when the target hits are impossible to insist too for a long time. 再坚固的船体结构,被当靶子打的话也不可能坚持太久。 A sharp howling sound from enters suddenly, loud sound that loudly resounds interrupted the ponder of Lawrence, he felt that in the ear buzzes, under foot everything may become vulnerable, but in peripheral vision of corner of the eye, he saw that side since White Oak ascends suddenly fireball, the metal fragment and deck structure of break scatters in all directions to crack. 一阵锐利的呼啸声突然从远而进,紧接着响起的轰然巨响打断了劳伦斯的思考,他感觉耳朵里面嗡嗡作响,脚下地动山摇,而在眼角的余光中,他看到白橡木号侧面突然升腾起一个火球,断裂的金属碎片和甲板结构四散崩裂。 The boatswains yell: „Side side is hit...... fights fire quickly!” 水手长喊叫起来:“侧舷中弹……快去灭火！” Lawrence stood firm the figure in fierce swaying, but the expression rapid change on his face, seems getting down anything to decide suddenly. 劳伦斯在剧烈的摇晃中稳住了身形,而他脸上的表情则迅速变化着,仿佛突然下了什么决定。 „Cargo manifest,” he raised the head, looked that to is maintaining the first mate of bridge order, „brings the cargo manifest!” “货物清单,”他抬起头,看向正在维持舰桥秩序的大副,“把货物清单拿来！” „Cargo manifest?” The first mate was startled, understood Captain intention, his expression becomes especially contradictory and dignified, but execute the order, delivers to front of a log Lawrence immediately. “货物清单？”大副怔了一下,紧接着理解了船长的意图,他的表情变得格外矛盾、凝重,但还是立刻执行命令,将一份记录簿送到了劳伦斯面前。 Lawrence opens the log, the vision has swept above fast, finally stays in one line of contents. 劳伦斯打开记录簿,目光飞快地在上面扫过,最终停留在其中一行内容上。 „Turns on among No. 2 seals, seal ‚Anomaly 077’ belt/bring to the bridge on,” he raised the head, ordered to the first mate fast, „prepared the pure shroud and a new hangman's rope, prepared two seals at any time.” “打开二号封印间,把封印物‘异常077’带到舰桥上,”他抬起头,飞快地对大副下令,“准备好洁净的裹尸布和一根新的绞索,随时准备二次封印。” The first mate complexion ties tight, although has thought that can be such situation, he seems especially hesitant: „Captain, this......” 大副脸色紧绷,尽管早已想到会是这么个情况,他还是显得格外犹豫:“船长,这……” „Situation is urgent, can only,” the Lawrence complexion be like this serious, „in peculiar circumstance opens seal that presses a boat into service to solve the crisis, after this is —— of some precedents , if the Church aspect wants to investigate, I go to explain with them.” “情况紧急,只能这样了,”劳伦斯面色严肃,“特殊情况下启封船上的封印物来解决危机,这是有先例的——之后如果教会方面想追究,我去和他们解释。” The first mate as if also wants to say anything, the words that but facing the old Captain serious line of sight, he wants to speak swallow back, finally makes an effort to nod: „Yes, Captain!” 大副似乎还想说什么,但面对老船长严肃的视线,他还是把想说的话都咽了回去,最后用力点头:“是,船长！” The order soon was implemented, the seaman who several specifically are responsible for handling seal dashed was rushing to lower level the special region situated in deck, turned on among No. 2 seals, and deferred to the Anomaly 077 accepting rules to relieve the seal condition in room. 命令很快得到了执行,几名专门负责处置封印物的海员飞奔着跑到了位于甲板下层的特殊区域,打开了二号封印间,并按照异常077的收容规则解除了房间的封印状态。 A moment later, in the fire bellow, several sailors brought Anomaly 077 to arrive at the bridge, places in front of Lawrence the thing that Captain wanted. 片刻之后,在炮火轰鸣声中,几名水手带着异常077来到了舰桥,将船长要的东西放在劳伦斯面前。 Lawrence lowers the head, the expression is gazing at the sailors „the Anomaly goods that” brings especially dignifiedly from the seals —— 劳伦斯低下头,表情格外凝重地注视着水手们从封印间带出来的“异常物品”—— That is one by the dry corpse that the shroud packages strictly. 那是一具被裹尸布严密包裹起来的干尸。 Anomaly 077- sailors. 异常077-水手。 Lawrence knows on the oneself ship the information of each cargo, naturally also includes this Anomaly thing. 劳伦斯知道自己船上每一件货物的情报,当然也包括这件异常物。 Anomaly 077 appears at first , was missing mystically on three years of discovery ship, and is considered as the chief criminal who causes that discovery ship accident, this Anomaly outward appearance seems like a dry corpse, height about 1.7 meters, under breaking the seal of condition, it will display „living creature” characteristics, even can talk and ponder, but its strength „status” tallies with it highly. 异常077最初出现在一艘神秘失踪了三年之久的探险船上,并被认为是导致那艘探险船失事的罪魁祸首,这个异常的外观看起来就是一具干尸,身高在1.7米左右,在启封状态下,它会表现出“活物”的特性,甚至能够与人交谈和思考,而它的力量则与其“身份”高度吻合。 As a sailor, it will attempt to affect to be away from oneself recent ships, and disregards the limit of any environmental condition, the ships type and manipulating and controlling technology, in a short time takes over control of the complete function of this ship, once completes the control, it will then make this ship transmits the —— entire process only to take several minutes randomly, ships of random scale in „sailor” under the influence was delivered to Boundless Sea some random corner. 作为一名水手,它会尝试影响距离自己最近的一艘舰船,并无视任何环境条件、船舶类型、操控技术的限制,在短时间内接管这艘船的全部机能,而一旦完成接管,它便会令这艘船进行随机传送——整个过程只需几分钟,一艘任意规模的舰船就会在“水手”的影响下被送到无垠海上某个随机的角落。 But this transmission is not calm and steady travel —— by the ships that Anomaly 077 transmits, certainly will appear in a center of big storm. 但这种传送并不是一趟安稳的旅行——被异常077传送走的船只,一定会出现在一场大风暴的中心。 No one knows that is Anomaly 077 chooses the storm for the transmission point of descent specially, it, for this transmission made storm specially, only what can determine, in massive transmission that in having the record to check, some ships can leave „point of descent” safely the storm of place. 没有人知道是异常077专门选择风暴为传送的落点,还是它为了这场传送专门制造了一场风暴,唯一能确定的是,在有记录可查的大量传送事件里,只有少部分船只可以安全地驶离“落点”处的风暴。 More ships and hundreds and thousands of misfortune, turned into the Anomaly 077 sacrificial victims. 更多的舰船和成百上千的不幸者,都变成了异常077的牺牲品。 However according to material that Lawrence has, Anomaly 077 it actually not difficult to deal with —— although before the transmission is completed, difficulty-relief Anomaly 077 will become effective unconditionally the own ability, so long as the transmission is completed, it is very easy by again the seal, so long as one new hangman's rope set on its neck, it stops acting immediately, then with the shroud its package, it will return in the deep sleep —— this dry corpse and has nothing the strength of surpassing human, the battle efficiency is not strong. 不过根据劳伦斯掌握的资料,异常077本身其实并不难对付——尽管在传送完成之前,脱困的异常077会无条件生效自己的能力,但只要传送完成,它就很容易被重新封印,只要将一根新的绞索套在它脖子上,它就会立刻停止行动,然后用裹尸布将其包裹,它就会重新回到沉睡中——这具干尸并没什么超出人类的力量,战斗力也并不强。 By that time, the White Oak crew need to do only, finds the way to resist storm ——, but Lawrence and his sailors had once resisted the innumerable storms. 到那时候,白橡木号的船员们唯一需要做的,就只是想办法对抗一场风暴罢了——而劳伦斯和他的水手们曾对抗过无数次风暴。 Lawrence bends the waist, slowly placed on the hand the Anomaly 077 shrouds. 劳伦斯弯下腰,慢慢将手放在了异常077的裹尸布上。 The crew on bridge are gazing at this intensely. 舰桥上的船员们紧张地注视着这一幕。 Lawrence deeply inspires, opens the rope buckle on shroud. 劳伦斯深吸了一口气,拉开裹尸布上的绳扣。 A slight inspiration sound almost then spreads to his ear instantaneously. 一股轻微的吸气声几乎瞬间便传入他耳中。 That sound from wrapped dry corpse. 那声音来自被包裹的干尸。 The shroud comes loosely, like having the invisible strength untied all rope buckles instantaneously, the Anomaly 077 portraits exposed in the gaze of people —— wear Old Age sailor overalls and hair falls off, the dry corpse of whole body nearly skeleton calmly to lie down on the floor sparsely witheredly. 裹尸布松散开来,就像有无形的力量瞬间解开了所有的绳扣,异常077的真容暴露在众人的注视中——一个穿着旧时代水手罩衫、头发稀疏脱落、浑身干瘪近乎骷髅的干尸静静地躺在地板上。 The chest of this dry corpse is fluctuating slightly, moreover obvious that more and more fluctuates, to finally, Lawrence even thought that oneself heard the heartbeat and breathing of opposite party. 这干尸的胸膛在微微起伏,而且起伏的越来越明显,到最后,劳伦斯甚至觉得自己听到了对方的心跳和呼吸声。 Anomaly 077 got out of trouble the —— sailor to regain consciousness from the seal. 异常077脱困了——水手自封印中苏醒。 That dry corpse opened the eye slowly, the whole body sat up the body stiffly little, the joint flip-flop makes noise. 那干尸慢慢睁开了眼睛,浑身僵硬地一点点坐起身子,关节劈啪作响。 „This ship is steered by you temporarily,” Lawrence clenches teeth, the expression said complex, „leads us to leave here.” “这艘船暂时由你掌舵,”劳伦斯咬了咬牙,表情复杂地说道,“带我们离开这里。” Anomaly 077 sat straight the body, observed the situation all around slowly, the vision falls on Lawrence finally. 异常077坐直了身子,缓慢地环视四周,目光最后落在劳伦斯身上。 Why does not know, Lawrence suddenly thought that oneself as if saw panic-stricken from that withered fearsome face. 不知为何,劳伦斯突然觉得自己仿佛从那张干瘪可怖的脸上看到了一丝惊恐。 Then he noticed that this dry corpse really trembled. 然后他就看到这干尸真的哆嗦了一下。 „...... Do not be noisy!” “别……别闹！” In the dry corpse mouth transmits hoarse alarmed and afraid calling out in alarm, the next second then closed the eye under glare of the public eye, lies down to feign death directly. 干尸口中传来嘶哑惊惧的惊呼,下一秒便在众目睽睽之下闭上了眼睛,直接躺下装死。 It even puts out a hand the shroud that entrained side to scatter, as to entangle the cloth strip secretly on the body. 它甚至伸手拽了拽旁边散落的裹尸布,仿佛是想偷偷把布条重新缠在身上。 Lawrence: „......?” 劳伦斯:“……？” Sailors: „......?” 水手们:“……？”
