The Last Gentleman

Chapter 680: Tides and Teeth

Chapter 680 Tide and Teeth

Even if the carriage modified by the condemned prisoners was fast enough, it would still take a day and a night to get to the coastal area.

The principal has taken off her high heels and is lying on her side on the bed. As long as she ensures that there is no third party, she does not have to restrain herself. She only fully relaxed when she was alone or with William.

“William, you are actually very aware of the risks of this journey, right?”

William sat on the edge of the bed opposite, staring at the principal's four-pointed star eyes, "Of course, otherwise why would I have the shame to let you join the principal... If it was just a normal matter, I would definitely not trouble you. After all, I don't have you. With his position, Zion’s risk index will skyrocket.”

 “Hmph~pretending.”

William slowly bent down while maintaining his sitting position, putting his hands on his chin, "By the way, has the organization not had any overseas experience before?"

“Of course not. Zion’s total combat power is not enough to support ‘going to sea’. There are only a few strong people who can reach the sea, and going to sea itself also involves a lot of risks.

 The organization has also had the idea of ​​going overseas, called [Great Migration].

At that time, we were considering that if the Quechua continent where we were located was confirmed to be completely gray and the leather factory was prepared to enslave all of us, the organization would undergo a comprehensive relocation.

Cross the sea to Middle-Earth and try to find other human organizations.

 But this idea was overturned before it was even written as a plan, and as we learned more about the old world, we discovered that there were no "free humans" besides ourselves.

Humans in other continents may not be as lucky as we are. They do not receive direct shelter from epidemic areas like leather factories. They are even given "gentleman's skin" that does not affect human nature, allowing us to be exposed to diseases and develop freely as humans.

 Humans on other continents either died or were kept in captivity by sick people for species transformation. "

William gently scraped the bridge of his nose with his fingers, "It's strange. According to the geographical knowledge I read in books, the size of Middle-Earth is much larger than the Kachua continent where we are located.

 The human density, culture and technological level there should be higher than here.

Logically speaking, it should attract many epidemic-affected areas to colonize there in advance and establish a base in the new world. Even if they are not as laissez-faire as leather factories, maybe they will be given some room for development, right?

 Now, except for our organization, there is no decent human being in the old world, which is strange..."

Unexpectedly, Principal Deslin stretched out her long white legs directly, and the soles of her feet were facing William's face, indicating that he did not need to say any more.

“There is no need to think about this kind of thing anymore, let’s take care of the situation at hand~ If we go to the sea and reach the Central Region this time, we will know the specific situation by then.

By the way, William's aura seems to have changed a lot. Tell me about your experience in the old world during this period of time you left. Listen to the story to pass the time. No one talks in the academy. You can only talk to a group of people across the galaxy. It's a bit boring to help the old guy talk about the stars. "

  “Also good.”

 …

 The night passed.

Deslin changed from lying on her side to sitting cross-legged.

The two hands were still crossed and gently grasping the soles of the feet, and the two starry eyes were wide open.

The stories about the different world told by William are novel, exciting and extremely vivid. Together with the epileptic brain's continuous transmission of memory pictures, it depicts a completely different human world.

  This made the principal stay up most of the night and was very excited. She had many questions at every point in the story, and it didn't end until three o'clock in the morning.

“Principal, good night, have a good rest, we have to cross the sea tomorrow.”

 While William lay down to rest,

Desline was wrapped in her quilt but could not fall asleep. In her mind, she completely replayed the story just now through the stars and clouds. For some reason, she actually felt a rare kind of envy, envious of the circus girl named Catherine. Members can go on such novel and interesting adventures in another world with William.

 She also wanted to go, to see the stars in the world over there.

 “William…”

Tossing and turning, Deslin wanted to continue chatting, but there was no response from the bed opposite, and she seemed to have fallen asleep.

Just when she felt a little disappointed, a voice came: "Principal, if we have the opportunity in the future, we can go there together. I think the stars in the world over there may give you new insights."

 “Well, go to bed quickly.”

 The anxious heart is at peace, and sleepiness comes.

I don’t know how much time has passed, but the frequency and intensity of the carriage’s bumps have increased significantly, and at the same time, there is a strong sense of moisture entering the carriage.

“Boss, boss! The infection here is so serious!

It’s incredible. In the old world, there were very clear territorial divisions between different epidemic areas, and “Cross-Infection” was strictly prohibited. However, you are not subject to conventional regulations, and you actually developed such a combined disease. It’s really interesting. "

At the same time that William woke up, Nash's excited voice spread in the skull.

 When you open your eyes,

The originally neat and clean carriage carriage was actually covered with shallow water stains.

The carriages with metal partitions were leaking water. Various shellfish, plants and even tiny eyeballs grew out. There were even finger-sized crabs crawling on the walls.

The most exaggerated thing is that the quilt covering William's body also has a barnacle structure.

However, these are nothing, what really invades the car is another thing...it makes William feel uncomfortable, but makes Nash feel excited.

 Teeth occupying about 40% of the carriage wall.

That’s right, white human teeth are densely embedded in the interior of the car, causing people physical discomfort.

 “Hmm! So humid!”

When William sat up suddenly, he found that the principal had already gotten up and changed his clothes.

 Utilize the plasticity of "gentleman's leather" to transform yesterday's long skirts and high heels into a set of corset vests, long leather trousers and a pair of star-embellished plain leather boots suitable for going out.

“A gentleman from the organization once tried to investigate the coastal zone, but he turned back before reaching it. He was dissuaded by the extreme humidity and the weird [teeth].

Although the sea was the earliest and most deeply infected area, the plague masters who controlled the sea in the old world did not spend much thought on this area, nor did they prevent the invasion of other diseases.

 Slowly, various diseases began to appear in the sea, and a large number of cross-infections occurred.

 Among them, dental diseases seem to have a good mix with marine pathogens. "

 “Is it cross-infection?”

 William tried to pinch a tooth on the surface of the carriage. He thought he could easily pull it out, but he didn't expect that the tooth was inlaid extremely tightly. With the force of his two fingers, he pulled it out.

Snapped!

The moment the tooth was pulled out, seawater juice splashed down.

The nerves of the teeth that were constantly twisting like octopus tentacles were extracted, and William even felt a vitality that was no weaker than that of small animals.

"Um?"

William tried to throw the extracted tooth to the ground,

Unexpectedly, the tooth nerve actually carried the tooth to the ground steadily and began to crawl on the ground.

 After finding a suitable position, the nerve immediately becomes like a drill and starts to drill holes in the ground.

For some reason, William felt a bit toothache watching this scene.

 “This…this tooth corresponds to what power in the old world?”

Deslin’s face was full of doubts.

“William, you don’t know this?

The teeth obviously correspond to an epidemic area in the old world. Although they have become low-key after the war, they are not unfamiliar, right?

 This epidemic area can be said to be the ‘hospital’ of the old world, named [Dental Pavilion]. "

“I really don’t know…hospitals in the old world? Why does it feel a bit inconsistent? After all, the old world itself is the origin of the epidemic, but there is still such a thing as a hospital.

 Does this dental clinic only provide dental treatment, or something else? "

“I have never been there. After all, the scale of [Dental Museum] is not large compared to other epidemic areas, and it has always been very low-key, even hidden in the corner of the world.

 It is rumored that only those who are seriously injured and about to die, if they choose to wander in the no-man's land of the old world in the last stage of their lives, may see the "Tooth Pavilion".

 I don’t know exactly what it is.

I just didn’t expect that [Dental Museum], which was quite low-key in the old world, would be so proactive on our side, infecting and occupying the coastal areas.

It seems that this group of doctors from the old world have great foresight and want to take root here in advance and move the [Dental Clinic] here as soon as the world is infected. "

William also opened the car window with interest.

Although the outside is filled with thick gray matter, using the vision of the abyss, you can probably feel that a special city is not far away, and you can clearly hear the sound of the ocean tide.
