The gunfire was roaring, hot shells roared and fell from the sky, and huge water columns rose one after another inside and outside the port, some of which had almost rubbed against the side of the White Oak. Shaking from the impact, it made an unsettling, creaking sound.
Lawrence and first mate Gus led twelve sailors up the rope ladder and returned to the deck of the White Oak without any risk. Behind them, Dagger Island was still shrouded in thick fog and the deserted port Suddenly, a chaotic wind blew up, and the mist swirled and rolled in the wind, as if full of malice, as if irritated by an uninvited guest.
The boatswain hurried over, the tall seaman with a tense face, clutching a rifle (although it was of no use in a naval battle), and he came up to Lawrence and made a quick check The captain was relieved: “Great! You’re finally back—we heard a thunderous sound from the island before, and you haven’t come back. The second officer thought something happened to you…
The scene at the pier square just now flashed in Lawrence’s mind. He thought of the four extra sailors and the sudden green flame, and a complicated expression appeared on his face.
Something really happened, and it’s not a small thing-
But now is obviously not the time to explain.
“Let’s not talk about that for now,” he shook his head, “How is the situation now? Where is Jason?”
“The second officer is commanding the battle on the bridge. We are fighting a warship of unknown origin,” said the bosun quickly. We approached—the stern was hit by a shot just now, but fortunately the damage was not too serious, but we must leave quickly, the White Oak cannot be the opponent of the battleship.”
“Get out of here, now,” Lawrence said quickly.
The core of the steam made a deep roar, and the boiling gold catalyst began to release surging energy. The powerful power mechanism drove the propeller, causing the White Oak to accelerate away from this strange port. In the meantime, this advanced cargo expedition ship with a clean white hull continued to accelerate, throwing Dagger Island in a dense fog.
The attackers, however, were in hot pursuit.
Lawrence came to the bridge and observed the situation on the sea through the wide window at the side and rear of the bridge. The warship, which is not too big, is chasing this side while continuously firing with the main gun of the bow, bright flashes piercing the dark sky covering the entire sea area time and time again.
Fortunately, it was a small ship, not a battleship with fierce gunfire, otherwise the White Oak would not have survived the attack until now.
Unfortunately, the speed of the ship was extremely fast. Even though the speed of the White Oak increased again and again, Lawrence still judged that the ship would catch up sooner or later.
The ship was even accelerating.
“We can’t get rid of it,” the first mate said in a desperate tone, “it’s too fast…but our firepower can’t be a match for a warship!”
Lawrence didn’t say anything, just thinking quickly.
In terms of classification, the White Oak is indeed a civilian ship, but this does not mean that it is a lamb waiting to be slaughtered—as a ship that can sail on the boundless sea for a long time and can transport seals between city-states It has a military-grade steam core and anti-sinking structure, and its keel, waterline hull, and superstructure have also been specially reinforced. It can be said that this ship is not weak in terms of hull strength alone. warships of the same class.
The only thing it lacks is its firepower—after all, as a civilian ship, it can only be equipped with a few small-caliber cannons for fighting against small groups of pirates or monsters in the sea.
Looking at the current situation, the White Oak will be caught up sooner or later—when the distance between the two ships is closer, the opponent’s artillery hit rate will not be so low.
No matter how strong the hull structure is, if it is used as a target, it will not be able to last for too long.
A sharp whistling sound suddenly came from a distance, followed by a loud bang that interrupted Lawrence’s thinking, he felt buzzing in his ears
There was a sound, the ground shook under his feet, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a fireball suddenly rising from the side of the White Oak, and the broken metal fragments and deck structure were scattered and cracked.
The boatswain yelled, “Shot in the side…
Go put out the fire! “
Lawrence stabilized his figure amidst the violent shaking, while the expression on his face changed rapidly, as if he had suddenly made a decision.
“Cargo list,” he raised his head and looked at the first officer who was maintaining order on the bridge, “Bring the cargo list!”
“Cargo list?” The first mate was stunned for a moment, then understood the captain’s intention, his expression became extremely contradictory and dignified, but he immediately executed the order and sent a record book to Lawrence.
Lawrence opened the record book, glanced quickly over it, and finally settled on a line of content.
“Open the No. 2 seal room, and bring the sealed item ‘Anomaly 077’ to the bridge,” he raised his head, and quickly ordered to the first officer, “Get a clean shroud and a new noose ready, Ready for a second seal at any time.”
The first mate’s face was tense, even though he had already expected such a situation, he still seemed extraordinarily hesitant: “Captain, this…”
“The situation is urgent, that’s the only way to go,” Lawrence said with a serious expression, “There is a precedent for unsealing the sealed item on the ship to solve the crisis under special circumstances—if the church wants to pursue it later, I will explain it to them.”
The first mate seemed to want to say something, but facing the serious gaze of the old captain, he swallowed everything he wanted to say, and finally nodded vigorously: “Yes, captain!”
The order was quickly executed, and several sailors who were in charge of handling sealed items rushed to the special area on the lower deck, opened the No. 2 sealed room, and released the seal of the room according to the containment rules of Anomaly 077 state.
A moment later, amidst the roar of artillery fire, several sailors came to the bridge with Anomaly 077, and put the things the captain wanted in front of Lawrence.
Lawrence lowered his head, staring at the “abnormal items” brought out by the sailors from the seal with a particularly solemn expression
It was a mummy tightly wrapped in a shroud.
Anomaly 077 – Sailor.
Lawrence knew the information on every piece of cargo on his ship, including this abnormal object of course.
Anomaly 077 first appeared on an expedition ship that had mysteriously disappeared for three years, and was considered to be the culprit that caused the crash of the expedition ship. The appearance of this anomaly looks like a mummy, with a height of 1.7 meters. Left and right, in the unsealed state, it will show the characteristics of a “living creature”, and even be able to talk and think with people, and its power is highly consistent with its “identity”.
As a sailor, it will try to influence the nearest ship, and take over all functions of the ship in a short time regardless of any environmental conditions, ship type, and control technology limitations, and once completed Take over, and it will cause the ship to perform random teleportation-the whole process only takes a few minutes, and a ship of any size will be sent to a random corner of the infinite sea under the influence of “Sailor”.
But this kind of teleportation is not a smooth trip—the ship teleported away by anomaly 077 will definitely appear in the center of a big storm.
No one knows whether Anomaly 077 specifically chose the storm as the landing point for the teleportation, or whether it created a storm specifically for this teleportation. Some ships were able to safely sail away from the storm at the “fall point”.
More ships, and hundreds of unfortunates, fell prey to Anomaly 077.
However, according to the information obtained by Lawrence, Anomaly 077 itself is actually not difficult to deal with—although the escaped Anomaly 077 will unconditionally activate its own abilities before the transmission is completed, but once the transmission is completed, it can be easily resealed. As long as a new noose is put around its neck, it will stop moving immediately, and then wrap it in a shroud, and it will return to sleep-this mummy has no strength beyond human beings, fighting power It is not strong either.
At that time, the only thing the crew of the White Oak needs to do is to find a way to fight against a storm-and Lauren
Through and his sailors have weathered countless storms.
Lawrence bent down, and slowly put his hand on the shroud of Anomaly 077.
The crew on the bridge watched nervously.
Lawrence took a deep breath and undid the rope buckle on the shroud.
A slight inhalation sound reached his ears almost instantly.
The sound came from the wrapped mummy.
The shroud loosened, as if an invisible force instantly untied all the rope buckles, and the true face of Abnormal 077 was exposed to everyone’s gaze—a man wearing an old-times sailor blouse, with thinning and falling hair, covered in hair The shriveled, almost skeleton-like mummy lay quietly on the floor.
The mummy’s chest was rising and falling slightly, and the rising and falling became more and more obvious. At the end, Lawrence even felt that he could hear the other person’s heartbeat and breathing.
Anomaly 077 escaped—the sailor awoke from the seal.
The mummy slowly opened its eyes, and sat up stiffly, its joints crackling.
“You are at the helm of this ship for the time being,” Lawrence gritted his teeth and said with a complicated expression, “take us out of here.”
Anomaly 077 sat up straight, looked around slowly, and finally landed on Lawrence.
For some reason, Lawrence suddenly felt as if he saw a trace of panic on that withered and terrifying face.
Then he saw that the mummy was really trembling. The shriveled, almost skeleton-like mummy lay quietly on the floor.

Then he saw that the mummy really shivered.
“Don’t…don’t make trouble!”
A hoarse and frightened exclamation came from the mouth of the mummy, and in the next second, he closed his eyes under the watchful eyes of everyone, and lay down directly to pretend to be dead.
It even stretched out its hand and tugged at the scattered shroud beside it, as if it wanted to secretly wrap the cloth around its body again.
Lawrence: “…?”
Sailors: “…?”
