Why is my anime art style so weird?

It turned out that after Xu Ming left, Yukinoshita Haruno had been restless, so she went directly to Xu Ming's house.

Yukino even suggested going to Starfall Island with Xu Ming.

Xu Ming naturally refused on the spot.

That place looks just as dangerous as Monster Mountain. He himself couldn't even guarantee his own safety, let alone having a burden to carry around.

After much persuasion, they finally managed to temporarily calm the older sister who was worried about her younger sister's safety.

However, Xu Ming also took the opportunity to suggest that her driver take him to Qinghai Wharf.

At this time, Yukinoshita Haruno naturally did everything she could to provide convenience for Xu Ming.

With the power of the Yukino family, they quickly ascertained the exact location of Harumi Wharf and then personally sent a special car to take Xu Ming to the wharf.

Xu Ming waved behind him, then walked towards the dark and desolate dock ruins in the distance under the watchful eye of the butler.

Xu Ming soon approached the ruins destroyed by the typhoon.

Perhaps even the Japanese government knows that there is a problem with this dock.

This large area is not only surrounded by towering walls, but also has barbed wire laid on the walls.

The gate was tightly bound by an iron chain as thick as a child's arm. The chain wasn't even locked; it was simply welded shut with an electric welding machine.

It seems there's something strange about this dock; the authorities clearly don't want unauthorized individuals to trespass.

However, these were of course no challenge for Xu Ming.

He took out the holy sword of physics and pried hard at the chain, which snapped instantly.

Accompanied by a piercing noise, Xu Ming pushed open the dock gate.

The sea breeze howled in, and the cold, damp, fishy smell of the sea instantly enveloped his face.

Xu Ming tightened the strap of his backpack and then walked through the gate.

To the right of the gate, there is a cluster of collapsed houses, which appear to have once been the residence of dock workers.

Xu Ming glanced at it twice, then continued walking along the main road.

Shortly after he left, a strange noise suddenly came from the collapsed ruins, some rubble fell from above, and something seemed to emerge from the ruins.

After walking along the main road for a while, another huge ruin completely blocked his way.

Through the ruins, Xu Ming could vaguely see a medium-sized dock behind the rubble.

This ruin appears to be the gateway to the dock.

Unfortunately, the ruins completely blocked Xu Ming's path.

Going straight through the ruins is naturally the fastest way.

only……

The ceiling collapsed, the walls cracked extensively, and some walls were even reduced to small sections, as if they would fall over with a gust of wind.

The ground was covered with various kinds of gravel and broken glass, and rusty steel bars stuck out like barbs...

The ruins in front of us are more dangerous than dilapidated buildings.

Xu Ming decisively abandoned the idea of ​​crossing the ruins.

Unfortunately, he has now entered the area of ​​the Yellow Springs Wharf, and in order to avoid accidents, he cannot summon shikigami.

Otherwise, if Haruyuki Arita were to carry him, they could easily traverse this ruin.

Now Xu Ming has no choice but to find another way out and bypass the ruins.

He looked around at his surroundings.

To the right of the ruins is a small river, and to the left is a factory building that appears to be an abandoned shipyard.

The shortest route is through this shipyard that is right next to the dock.

It was already close to midnight, and there was no time for him to hesitate.

Xu Ming immediately walked towards the shipyard on the left.

This shipyard, located right next to the dock, appears to have been an integral part of the dock's infrastructure back then.

Inside, there are guide rails, ball bearing trolleys for transporting ships, docks, large factories, gantry cranes, and everything else you could need.

Even in the pitch-black night, one can still see the prosperity of yesteryear.

Unfortunately, a devastating typhoon destroyed everything.

The steel-structured factory building had part of its roof torn off, a gantry crane collapsed to the side, and a ship undergoing renovation lay tilted in the dock, one side of its hull completely dented.

Xu Ming glanced around, shook his head, and turned to walk towards the factory.

This factory building is of standard design and is technically called an indoor dock workshop.

To match the height of the ships being built, the factory buildings are generally over eight stories high, ranging from 25 to 30 meters in height and over 40 meters in length.

Standing at the factory gate and looking up at the roof, the entire factory appears particularly tall and spacious.

The factory building in front of us is somewhat different.

The roofs of the houses near the sea were blown off by the wind.

The other areas weren't much better. They hadn't been maintained for a long time, and were full of potholes. Moonlight shone down from the uneven roof, leaving mottled shadows on the ground.

The slipway and scaffolding were leaning precariously, the steel structures were covered in rust, and some ship sections that had not yet been assembled lay haphazardly to one side.

The entire slipway looks like a toy factory that has been smashed to pieces by a naughty child.

Chapter 375 Death Has Arrived?

A mixture of fishy smell, rusty smell, and faint oily smell wafted over, making people instinctively cover their noses.

After carefully examining the factory from the entrance, Xu Ming took out his phone, gripped the crowbar, and strode into the factory.

The dappled light and shadow fell on him, casting a strange hue around his body.

As soon as Xu Ming stepped into the factory, before he had even taken two steps, he felt a strong sense of resentment wash over him.

It's as if even the steel, the land, and the air here exude a strong sense of resentment.

clang!

Suddenly, a sound like a hammer striking a steel plate was heard.

The sound was crisp and penetrating, as if it had penetrated directly into the eardrum.

The sound of hammering came out very strangely.

It seemed to be enticing, or rather driving, Xu Ming deeper into the factory.

Xu Ming tightened his arms slightly, his whole body tensed, and he entered a state of full alert, ready to attack at any moment.

He kept walking forward and soon arrived in front of a steel frame.

The steel frame consists of three layers, welded together with iron plates and columns, and has railings on both sides, serving a similar function to scaffolding to facilitate workers' access to the ship's sections for construction.

As for the so-called segmentation, it is actually the construction of large ships by dividing them into individual structural pieces, like building blocks.

After each section is made, all sections are spliced ​​together to form a complete ship. This is the simplified process of modern shipbuilding.

Xu Ming had no interest in going up to the top of the steel frame to take a look; he simply walked under the steel frame.

To save space, these steel frames are made very low, about 2.5 meters high, and there are steel beams everywhere, so it's easy to bump your head if you're not careful.

Most importantly, the area under the steel frame is quite dark even during the day.

At night, without the lights on, it's pitch black...

clang!

The eerie knocking sound started again, seemingly getting closer and closer to Xu Ming.

Xu Ming frowned and continued forward.

He soon approached a section of a ship. Judging from its shape, this section appeared to be the superstructure of the ship.

Just then, he faintly heard a whisper coming from behind the paragraph.

Xu Ming subconsciously gripped the crowbar in his hand and walked past the section.

This section appears to have not yet been coated with anti-rust paint; orange-red rust marks are visible on the surface, outlining strange patterns that look incredibly eerie in the dark factory.

Xu Ming crossed this section, which was about ten meters long, and arrived at the front.

Just as he rounded the corner, the eerie whispers suddenly disappeared.

Xu Ming quickly used his phone to shine a light on the spot where the sound had come from.

The area was buried under several collapsed steel structures.

On the open ground nearby lay two damaged, yellowed white hard hats, which appeared to be stained with a large amount of dark red blood...

Xu Ming looked at the safety helmet, then at the crammed steel structure, and suddenly understood something.

clang!

The knocking sound rang out again, as if urging him on.

Xu Ming remained unmoved and continued walking forward.

Just after Xu Ming left, a pale arm suddenly emerged from under the steel structure...

Xu Ming was walking cautiously.

呲!

Just then, he vaguely heard the sound of gas leaking, followed by a foul smell similar to garlic that entered his nostrils.

Xu Ming's expression suddenly changed.

not good!

It's acetylene! There's been an acetylene leak!

Xu Ming didn't have time to think about how an abandoned factory could still contain a large amount of acetylene.

He only knew that an acetylene leak could easily cause a fire if not handled carefully.

He quickly sped up and ran forward.
