Haidu: Top of the Tower

Chapter 11 Can push people and wipe the floor

I'm afraid Dao Mingke never expected that none of the four mechanisms selected by Milady was picked up casually out of frustration - not even the mopping machine.

If the jet ski is an obvious choice; then under the premise that the Nightcastle will enter the sea of ​​​​dense fog before twelve o'clock, the "fly compound eyes" that Milady is wearing on her head at this moment is also a must.

Its name is "Xunxue", and it is a kind of bionic mechanism that has been very popular in Haidu recently. It has nothing to do with flies, but it has an inseparable connection with mosquitoes.

It is said that the gas exhaled by people is not quite the same as the air. Although people can't feel the difference, mosquitoes can detect the concentration of this breath, coupled with the temperature and sweat of the human body, they can accurately find it even in the dark blood-sucking objects.The mechanism developer who developed the bionic mechanism with the help of the physiological characteristics of mosquitoes and more animals can be said to have pushed the mechanism process of Haidu forward for at least 20 years.

Of course, the "suction tube" attached to the blood circulation is not for sucking blood; from the air it sucks into the mechanism for analysis, and from the difference in heat sensed by the "compound eyes", Milady is already clear at this time He clearly knew the location of Dao Mingke.

Dao Mingke is worthy of fighting for a living. Although he felt that he had the advantage, he quickly adjusted his strategy when he realized that the fog would not dissipate in a short time, and he also took it easy like Milady. Shut up.

Of course, he was definitely not afraid that Milady would take the opportunity to attack him quietly, after all, she didn't even have the means to attack.

He obviously didn't want Milady to hear his position and escape from his attack.

Except for Dao Mingke, I am afraid that there are not many people who can control their body muscles and step lightly enough while carrying two heavy mechanisms; In the sound, if Milady didn't rely on blood circulation, it would be impossible to know his position from the sound.

It's just that Milady knew his location, but she didn't get close to him; she just walked around the railing outside Dao Minke's pace.

The crew members on the second deck couldn't sit still.

"I can't see anything," one complained. "Anyone know where they are?"

"Hey, Dao Mingke," someone shouted, "Don't attack in this direction, we are all here!"

"How to disperse the fog better?" Someone asked.

Lu Ranzhou's voice pierced through the fog clearly, as if he was talking to the crew beside him. "Do you guys want to adjust your bet? This is the last time I accept a bet. You won't be able to change your bet to Milady after a while."

"Captain, you want to trick us into losing money again." A crew member immediately responded, "It's just a moment of fog, and Milady's condition hasn't improved at all. Dao Mingke can't see it, and she can't see it either. There are no military agencies..."

While the crew members were chattering wildly, someone suddenly exclaimed, "That fog has moved, look!"

Indeed, in the thick fog that seemed impossible to tear apart, there were waves of sharp and fast wind sounds at this moment.Accompanied by the sound of the wind, the dense fog was dispelled reluctantly, from a thick cotton-like texture, to gradually becoming loose and loose, and a long shadow loomed in the air, quickly flung circles in the air, whistling. Loud wind.

"That's..." The crew on the second deck looked at it for a few seconds, then came to their senses: "That's from the Whale Chain Cannon... Did he remove the steel fork?"

Only the powerful Dao Mingke can disperse the dense fog around him in this way: After removing the steel fork, he tied the long rope on its body to his own hand, and pulled it hard while walking. He swung his head; he was strong enough and fast enough, as if he had turned on a single-blade propeller, blowing away a lot of fog in the middle of the deck.

In this way, Milady could only hide by the railings around the deck if she did not want to be exposed.

Almost at the same time that this thought floated up in the minds of the crew, there was a sudden "Dang" sound from the still thick fog; the sound could not be more clear, someone hit the edge of the deck railing.

Who else could it be but Milady?
Dao Mingke's reaction was extremely fast. As soon as the sound rang out, the long rope that was whirring in the air shot straight at the source of the sound.Someone on the second deck suddenly exclaimed: "On the long rope—"

It was too late to finish this sentence, and everyone could see it: a series of electric sparks crackled on the long rope, and countless silver and white sparks flickered frantically, swam rapidly from the long rope to the tip of the fork, followed by the steel fork Together into the thick fog.

"It's amazing, Dao Mingke can still come up with such a method," the volunteer commentator explained to the people around him: "He removed the steel fork from the whale chain cannon, grabbed the long rope with his hand and threw it out, sure It’s not as strong as the power of the mechanism’s starting device. In order to increase the damage, he used the electric current of the lightning glove to conduct the long rope...Huh? Where’s Milady?”

He seemed to have just realized that it was too quiet in the fog.

Though the blow was frightening, Milady seemed to be lucky; there was neither a scream nor a body falling or falling into the sea in the dense fog, and she seemed to have quietly dodged it.

"It's still too difficult to judge the position only by that little sound," the volunteer commentator continued: "The coverage of the fork tip is not large. When I shot it, I misjudged it by a few centimeters, and the fork tip couldn't hit the rice... Hey, the fog is so fast. Closed again."

It took only a few seconds from the time when the sound came out in the mist to when Dao Mingke threw out the steel fork and then retracted it, the mist had already thickened again relentlessly, covering everything.

"His method doesn't work," others saw it this time, and said one after another: "The fog is too thick. If Dao Mingke has been using the wind to disperse the fog, he will be tired before he can catch Milady." Passed out. What will he do next? Isn't the situation back to the original point?"

But Dao Mingke is actually far more talented than the spectators on the second deck when it comes to fighting.

For example, Milady had long since realized that the real object of his swinging the fork was not to drive away the mist, but to drive himself away.

Not to mention the fog, even if there is no fog, when a person swings a steel fork tied with a long rope violently, the reaction of most people is to stay away.

When Milady backed away out of fear, she couldn't see anything in the thick fog, so she would naturally hit the railing—several traps were tied to her body, and there was something like a hollow tube inserted behind her, once With the sound of bumping against the railing, wouldn't Dao Mingke immediately know where Milady is?

Although he is usually reckless and arrogant, once he enters the fighting state, he seems to be a different person, and many details are included in the battle calculation.It seemed that Dao Minke had thought of it early on. When the ship was driving in the dense fog, Milady would not foolishly step on the board and rise into the air, but would just stay on the deck and keep going backwards.

Generally speaking, it is true that you should not rush into the sky at this time.

Otherwise, it would have been Milady's luck to crash into the second deck or upper cabin of the Night Castle; in the fog with such low visibility, she couldn't even see whether the ship was still under her feet, and she probably didn't know. Before she knew it, she was thrown alone on the sea covered in thick fog. When she realized something was wrong with the sound, she couldn't catch up with the speed of the airflow skateboard.

After the steel fork missed a hit, Dao Mingke's follow-up moves also became extremely fast.

He obviously made a judgment, thinking that it was impossible for Milady to go far in such a short time; in order to cover as large an area as possible in the shortest possible time, this time he gave up the steel fork and used lightning gloves.Accompanied by the scalp-numbing sound, pieces of electric current quickly penetrated into the thick fog, jumped and spread and penetrated a large area of ​​air. Let alone Milady walked on two legs, even a Even an albatross can't escape the range of the electric current, and it has already turned into a cooked bird.

But as before, no one heard a voice from Milady.

"Strange," the crew members on the second deck muttered to themselves, "Milady ran so fast? Or is it just luck?"

If you keep using a long-distance electric current to hit it in a large area, the electricity stored in the glove will be consumed in a short time; Dao Mingke certainly understands this, seeing that Milady was not hit for several seconds, the electric current disappeared.

In the eyes of the spectators, once he stopped, it was undoubtedly equivalent to submerging in the dense fog again.Only Milady knew that Dao Minke had jumped to the railing and was now searching for her along the railing.

His combat response was indeed commendable, but unfortunately it didn't help him at all.

While he searched for his opponent, Milady was already engaged in the last step of preparation; and when this was done, she would bring the duel to an end.

"I can't see anything, and I can't even fight. What kind of duel is this?" Someone shouted on the second deck, and the voice was one of Dao Mingke's gang. "Hey, let's ask the cockpit to increase the speed of the ship and leave this sea of ​​thick fog as soon as possible!"

Milady's heart tightened.Everything is going smoothly according to plan, but this means that it will take as long as planned.

"No, that will consume more fuel," Seinfeld said in his voice, "We won't be able to replenish fuel until the next port."

"It's just driving at high speed for a few minutes. How much impact will it have? Do you think I've never been on a boat?" In front of everyone, Lu Ranzhou also nodded, and gave a command to increase speed into the sound transmission tube leading to the cockpit.

Milady groaned inwardly, not daring to delay any longer, and speeded up while looking at the figures in the fog.In the month since she boarded the boat, she has done countless similar exercises and tasks, and she has already developed her hand speed; once the work in hand is completed, she immediately inserts the hollow tube-shaped mechanism back into her waist, stands up, She stepped back, grabbed the airflow skateboard, and slammed it on the deck a few meters away from her—completed all her preparations in a smooth manner.

The sound of it hitting the deck was heard by the crew at once.

"What's that voice?" asked someone. "Is it Milady?"

"It's Milady's board!" Seinfeld replied immediately.

Dao Minke is a good hunter.In the thick fog, people often can't distinguish the direction of the source of the sound, but he can catch the source of the sound time and time again, and the error is not too big; Deliberately lighten his steps, every step is like a small cannonball hit on the deck, carrying him through the fog in the blink of an eye, and the shadow is pressed closer like a hill.

Under such momentum, Milady's exclamation didn't need to be pretended at all, it was really sincere; naturally it couldn't escape his ears.

"You're finally going to be unable to run away," Dao Mingke said, spat hard.

Just as he finished speaking, a piece of electric current pierced the air again.

Milady suddenly closed her eyes tightly, and even her heart froze in her chest.At that moment, if she was really electrocuted and passed out, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to tell the difference—she couldn't even feel it herself.

When she opened her eyes again, she heard a dull crash.She exhaled tremblingly, and slowly smiled.

...it worked out, she really did.

The strength that had been supporting Milady in a state of high tension all of a sudden leaked out at this moment, her legs gave way and she almost didn't sit on the ground.

To the crew on the second deck, the changes in the situation just now were a series of inexplicable and incomprehensible voices; after a moment of silence, someone really shouted: "What's going on? What did I do just now?" It seems that I heard Dao Mingke yelling?"

"I heard it too, a very short... and then a muffled sound, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground," replied another. "What's the matter down here? Hello, Milady? Dao Minke?"

Neither of them answered the shouts of the crew.

Milady didn't bother to answer, and Dao Mingke couldn't answer.

She gasped for several seconds, and finally gathered her strength again, and approached Dao Minke.

The crew heard correctly, there was indeed a heavy object that fell to the ground, and that was Dao Minke.

She didn't know how much current Dao Mingke used just now, and the sea breeze didn't blow away the burnt smell floating in the air at this moment.Milady took off the blood circulation, squatted beside Dao Minke, and stretched out her hand to test his breath—maybe it was because his skin was rough and fleshy, or maybe it was because the current conduction was weakened a lot, and he just lost consciousness , still breathing.

"Dao Mingke was defeated by me!" Milady stood up and announced loudly. "He passed out, but according to the duel rules, one party must fall into the sea to be considered over—"

Before she finished speaking, someone in Dao Mingke's group yelled: "Are you lying? Can you knock Dao Mingke unconscious?"

Despite his loud voice, his hesitation still did not escape Milady's ears.After all, if Dao Mingke was not unconscious, why didn't he make a sound?
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, I just want to remind you." Milady said coldly, "After he fell into the sea, I won this duel, and the rest has nothing to do with me. You can ignore him and let him He drowned, you can stop the ship temporarily and put a lifeboat to rescue him. But if you want to save people, you have to prepare now."

After she finished speaking, she stood still on the spot and listened to the chaotic yelling, chatter and footsteps on the second deck for a while; Milady ignored people still calling Dao Minke to respond or asking her questions.

When everyone heard the sound of heavy objects falling into the water, they naturally knew that she was not joking. She said that she would let Dao Mingke fall into the sea, and they could only find Dao Mingke in the sea.

Dao Mingke was tall and muscular, and weighed at least two hundred kilograms. I am afraid that few people could lift him up and throw him over the deck railing alone.There are not a few people who have this doubt. When she was struggling to turn Dao Mingke over, she heard someone from behind asking repeatedly: "How did she throw Dao Mingke into the sea? How does she have the strength?"

It's true that Milady couldn't pick her up, but fortunately she didn't have to pick up Dao Minke.She just needs to push, and she has a helper to push with her.

Coincidentally, after several minutes of speeding up, the Night Castle was about to sail out of the sea of ​​dense fog; the fog was washed away by the wind, and the space between the sky and the sea gradually opened up again, just in time for the crew on the second deck to see Cleared the last scene of this duel.

"So... what's going on?" Someone asked in a murmur.

Under the gaze of the eyes on the second deck, Milady gritted her teeth and pushed Dao Minke to the edge of the deck little by little.In addition to her exerting strength, there is also a black, barrel-like mechanism, and the brush plates under her body quickly turned into phantoms, and it is also unyieldingly moving forward against Dao Minke—it The place I walked was very clean.

For the first time since the duel, the second deck was so quiet.

With the combined efforts of one person and one machine, the stubby man who was unconscious was pushed all the way to the edge of the deck.The railing was originally set up to prevent people from accidentally falling, but now it somehow became empty. There was a big hollow mouth on the side of the deck, just enough for Dao Mingke's huge body to roll off the edge of the ship.

As soon as he fell, Milady held down the head of the floor mopping machine with quick eyes and hands, so as not to let it fall due to inertia; there was a sound of heavy objects breaking the sea below, and the waves rolled high up in the air.

Milady wiped the splash from her face.

She stood up, turned her head to look at the people on the second deck, and smiled slowly.

"I won!"
