Chapter 252 The Battle of the Middle and End
Zhou Zhou looked in the direction pointed by the blond young man, where an elegant and modern maritime vehicle was docked.
The ship in front is like a mini castle on the sea, with extraordinary majesty. The hull shows a beautiful silvery white color, shining dazzlingly under the sunlight. Its huge hull is densely packed. The windows are like bright stars. The deck of the ship is like a spacious open-air square for tourists to enjoy the breathtaking sea view during the voyage. There is a spacious observation deck at the bow, and many passengers stand on the observation deck to look out. Looking at the endless horizon.
“It’s really impressive!” Zhou Zhou couldn’t help but sigh.
“It’s luxurious. [A3 hub] connects Shetland Islands and Faroe Islands. It is the most famous extraordinary sea navigation channel in the northern part of Youyang, and it continues sailing to the northeast from its location. If you do so, you will be able to access the maritime warships of the Daev and Oletin Empires. Don't get me wrong, the main responsibility of those maritime fleets is to eliminate maritime bandits and traitors. After all, the degree of openness of coastal hubs is very high, and all kinds of monsters and monsters will exist there. This.”
While Xia Xiu continued to introduce the hub's information to Zhou Zhi, he led the other party to the luxury ship. When the two approached, two heavily armed security personnel with live ammunition stopped them.
"Please travel pass!"
"No, this is the [A3 hub] pass issued by the peacekeeping force in Oslo. This pass allows four accompanying relevant personnel to be carried. The one next to me This person is the relevant person accompanying him.”
Xia Xiu, who had been prepared, handed the pass card he had bought with money to one of the security personnel, who took the card in his hand. , then took out the instrument he carried with him and scanned the code on the card.
【Drip——】
[Verification passed! 】
"Please take back your pass. Next, we hope that you can abide by the "Access Treaty."
The security personnel handed the card back to the blond young man and looked at him seriously. gave him some instructions.
“I am a good person who is impartial and law-abiding.”
Xia Xiu replied with a smile on his face. Then he boarded the ship with a week.
The interior of the ship is as luxurious as its appearance.
The cabins on the ship are spacious and comfortable, equipped with a variety of luxurious facilities to meet the needs of different guests. The cabin windows are large and bright, allowing sunlight to shine into the interior, giving passengers a pleasant sailing experience. There are also restaurants, bars and entertainment facilities on board, providing passengers with a variety of entertainment options.
Xia Xiu and Zhou Zhou did not go to the entertainment facilities to relax like other passengers. They directly found a vacant double cabin to renovate. When they came in, Xia Xiu also deliberately talked to the cabin The security guard inside ordered two cups of coffee, one of which asked for three teaspoons of sugar.
After entering the cabin, Xia Xiu handed Zhou a cup of coffee with three teaspoons of sugar, and then he sat naturally and comfortably on the single sofa in the cabin,
“Thank you.”
Zhou Zhou accepted the coffee handed over by the blond young man, then opened the cup and put it to his lips and took a sip.
“It takes about three hours to travel from the Oslo port to the [A3 hub]. It is now 14:20 noon. We should be able to reach the hub area before dusk.”
Sitting Xia Xiu, who was sitting on the sofa, glanced at the timetable in front of him, and then spoke to Zhou Zhou who was slowly enjoying his coffee.
"Yes, I understand."
Zhi Zhou continued to drink the coffee in his hand unhurriedly. The coffee with three teaspoons of sugar suited his taste very well, even if his memory was lost. , but the body’s preference for food is still retained.
"Before arriving at A3, I will briefly introduce to you the enemies we will face later, namely the vampires."
The blond young man sitting on the single sofa adjusted his sitting posture , to make himself feel more comfortable, then he raised his handsome face, clasped his hands together, raised the corner of his mouth with an unusually sunny smile, and continued to say to Zhou Zhou:
"I'm coming I have told you before that our enemies are the ten enemies with [Vampire Arms], but our enemies are not just them. I have not told you in detail the population structure of vampires in the supernatural world of Terra. And the history between them and humans.
The reason why we introduce these is because if we want to hunt vampires, some of them are vampires themselves, and some vampires will use unusual twists and turns to participate in this interpretation. So we have to guard against it.”
Hearing the blond young man’s story, Zhou Zhou was curious about how the other party knew the specific whereabouts of the [Vampire Arms], but he would not ask directly.
When interacting with people, you don’t need to maintain too much curiosity. Sometimes what you just need is to know, rather than asking why.
“Before the curtain of Terra was drawn, vampires were once as active in Youyang as the dragons. In the "Book of Blood", the ancestors of the vampires left their hometown after being cursed and arrived in [Hub·No. Germany], and built the first city there, named [Enoch City]. Later, this vampire felt very lonely and created three children, namely [Enoch], [Enoch], and [Enoch]. [Zilla], and this is the second generation vampire clan."
"In the eyes of vampires, humans are basically the same as cattle and horses, so they call themselves blood descendants and collectively refer to humans as blood animals."
"In the subsequent development, vampire society was divided into factions and clans. There were thirteen clans in total. They were also called [Thirteen Clans], and each clan was subdivided into multiple clans.
Every vampire is born into a clan or bloodline, but now the only faction that has survived to become an institution is the [Secret Alliance]. They are the most important in vampire society. The faction close to the government is also the only vampire force to survive the [Mid-End War] between vampires and heaven.”
"The so-called [War of the Middle End] is a war of expulsion launched by the Kingdom of Heaven against non-human races, mainly vampires. The specific program of this war is to expel the non-human races in Terra to the [hub area]. This This war is also one of the wars that the Kingdom of Heaven has always been criticized for, but that is not what we are talking about now
You only need to know that in this war, only one of the five major vampire factions was defeated. , all the remaining vampires signed the "Escape Rules" with the Kingdom of Heaven: The Escape Rules stipulate that vampires cannot be embraced for the first time, use talents, transform humans into blood servants, and leave any traces or clues about the existence of vampires, and will They go to great lengths to keep the existence of vampires a secret.
The rules of escapism are the consensus of a few vampire clans, but the ways in which they implement the rules of escapism are also different. ”
When he said this, Xia Xiu paused for a moment. He glanced at the man who was listening to his explanation attentively. Then he followed his example and picked up the coffee next to him and took a sip.
“The ten [vampire weapons] we want to hunt and destroy are all treasures of the vampire clans, and those weapons are extraordinary equipment made by Lord Impaler.
Each piece of equipment is equipped with a module called [People of Cain]. This [module] is composed of ten [Vampire entries]. At the same time, each piece of equipment houses a person who is equivalent to [ The soul of the incarnation of the Lord. "
"So we have to destroy these weapons, not only to fight the holders of the equipment, but also to face the difficulties of these vampire clans. "
After listening to the blond young man's explanation, he drank the last drop of the coffee in his hand, and then he said to the other party:
"It seems that the intensity of the game is not equal. "
Xia Xiu shrugged and smiled at Zhou Zhou:
"Among the six performances, only this one is the most direct one. It is about a heroic team taking risks with the weak defeating the strong. Each of the ten weapons has a fatal weakness. As long as you find the weakness, you can defeat them."< br>
"What is the way to know their weaknesses?" "According to the normal story flow, these weaknesses can only be discovered gradually during our battle with them. However, what we are following is not a normal process. I know the weaknesses, so Now we just need to find the props to defeat these monsters."
"You told me before that there is a lone vampire and a teammate in A3, so am I right? It can be thought that the weakness of the vampire in A3 is this teammate, or is related to this teammate." Zhou Zhou looked directly at Xia Xiu with his melancholy eyes.
"Indeed, our teammate is a mirror that can shine into the soul."
Xia Xiu did not deny Zhou Zhou's speculation. Instead, he smiled and said to him:
"Life is like a mirror. The first thing to bear the brunt of is to know yourself."
······· ·····
A3 Hub.
“Woo——”
The ship's whistle cut through the tranquil sea, filled with people's laughter and tired breathing, informing people in the port of its return.
In the distance, the sound was like the whisper of the ocean, faint at first, then gradually getting stronger, until it filled the entire bay.
【Arrived at the A3 hub ahead, this hub has an unconventional protection policy, please remember to protect your personal safety! 】
The ship docked slowly at the pier, and the crew members were busy tying the ropes to the pillars of the pier, steadily pulling the ocean beast into the port, and the ship plank leading to the ground also It was slowly lowered, and the passengers lined up in an orderly manner and walked towards the front.
In the crowd, a blond young man wearing a black trench coat and a black top hat disembarked with an uncle with curly hair and a black notebook in his hand.
These two people were naturally Xia Xiu and Zhou Zhou. At this time, Zhou Zhou was looking at the [A3 hub] with curious eyes.
The architectural style here is very similar to that of modern industrial areas. It is full of busy people and the roar of machines, and the sky is also shrouded in black smoke.
The setting sun illuminates the sky through the thick smoke, giving the heavy work a golden halo. The broken chimney looks particularly spectacular in the setting sun.
The smoke constantly rising from countless chimneys was dyed orange-red by the setting sun, like balls of flames burning in the sky.
The streets of the city are narrow and winding, and the buildings on both sides are old-style stone structures. The black stones reflect a unique brilliance under the setting sun.
"There was a girl in the A3 hub,
she was too sick, so we couldn't make out.
So I didn't go there.
There was a drunk outside her door A fallen old prostitute.
There is a girl in the A3 hub,
She likes to drink high-end wine,
Her big thighs can pay for it.
She comes and goes, and I can’t hold it in..."
The immature voice humming vulgar and barbaric songs reached Zhou Zhou’s ears, He couldn't help frowning and looking at the crowd singing songs. There were a group of twelve and thirteen-year-old children.
The clothes of these children were in tatters and had obviously been repaired countless times. , the original color and style can no longer be seen, the edges of the clothes have been worn white, and the patches on the fabric are more than the original fabric. Their little feet are generally only wearing a pair of worn-out shoes, the soles of these shoes are worn. It was worn almost transparent, but they still carefully protected this only shoe.
What makes Zhou Zhou more concerned is the non-human part of these children. Some of these children have animal-shaped ears on both sides, some have animal features on the back of their butts, and some have strange growths on their faces. Weird scales.
Many passengers passing them nearby would quickly put on masks and then look at the children with extremely disgusted eyes.
“That’s [Biology], a type of single-stranded RNA virus, belonging to the genus Retroviridae of the family Retroviridae.”
A familiar voice rang in Zhou Zhou’s ears, He turned to look at the blond young man who spoke.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but for the first time in a week, I felt a different emotion from the unpredictable young man in front of me.
"[Circurial hoof disease] is a supernatural disease that can transform the body of the virus host into a human with animal characteristics. The virus is generally spread through body fluids, and the patient basically does not excrete the pathogen after the condition stabilizes. Therefore, the patient is normal The situation will not endanger others, and they can live a relatively normal life and have their own life circle."
"But in fact, as long as they are infected with this virus, these infected people will automatically be removed from the human world. The race is excluded
At present, there is no cure for this virus on the Terra market, so these infected people are naturally classified as sub-races, along with other non-human races. Generally despised by humans.”
Xia Xiu spoke of the somewhat serious topic in an understatement.
Looking at these [Patients with Strange Hoofs], he inexplicably remembered the [Lenden Street Massacre] that he had participated in before.
"The Kingdom of Heaven...isn't that the organization you always mentioned?" Zhou Zhou couldn't help but ask the blond young man.
“You know why I told you before that [the Battle of the Middle and End] is a point that Heaven has always been criticized for. This criticism not only refers to external criticism of Heaven’s behavior, but there is actually no internal criticism of Heaven. Determine the [Battle of the Middle and End].”
The blond young man turned his head and stared at Zhou Zhi with unclear eyes. Looking into those deep and cold golden eyes, he felt an inexplicable chill down his spine.
Once positions are reversed, justice will also show its fangs.
Recently, an elderly person at home became ill. I took her to the hospital to see her, took a film, and prescribed medicine...
Originally, it was nothing serious, but the old man kept complaining of pain every day and took him to the hospital. After checking, the doctor said there was nothing wrong.
The old man is like this. I have been tortured to death these days. What troubles me most is that she also prepared some Chinese medicine to drink. She does not believe in the medicine prescribed by a regular hospital!
I have exams this month...and exams next month. Both of these things can kill me
