The night is deep and the turbulent sea.
Muda, standing at the bow of the speedboat, was staring at the red and green light spots that were rising and falling with the waves in the distance, and the emotions in his eyes couldn't help but look at the colors of memories.
About two months ago, there was still a peaceful and peaceful scene. The orange-yellow rollers fluctuated with the waves of the ocean currents, emitting a shimmering light in the sun, just like wheat fields growing on the sea. The waves one after another were its swaying golden.
And now, the magnificent golden yellow has become history, just like the disappearing Shilong City.
The scattered metal parts and bursting pipelines sank into the sea, and generator sets were like wild horses that were rushing away by the surging waves and disappeared into this endless sea.
Sometimes, Muda can't help but think.
Perhaps humans are such an unrepentant animal. They will constantly repeat the mistakes they have made more than once, and repeat the cycle of destruction and rebirth again and again, and eventually miss the wonderful time of the past after nothing can be saved.
Maybe
The Torch Church’s claim is not entirely wrong.
If you want to eradicate the bad roots in human nature, you can only delete those despicable traits from your genes and ascend to another higher creature.
As the sea breeze gradually drifted away, Muda thought that the time was almost coming, so he took out the intercom and pressed the button.
Here is the Maritime Patrol, we are about to cross the blockade area…please request release.
A noisy sound of electric current came from the intercom, and a rude sound floated over with a long yawn.
Patrol?What are you doing here?
Muda said concisely.
We tracked the abnormal sonar signal, just in case, come here to take a look.
OK, need reinforcements?
No need for the time being.
OK, then stay in touch, if you need reinforcements, we will be there soon.
The echoes in the communication channel were relaxed and comfortable, and they were even chewing potato chips, and they had no doubt about his statement.
It seems that more than two months have passed, and the brothers patrolling this area have still relaxed.
But it's no wonder.
The current power station has been destroyed, and there is no need for the submarines in Sanctuary 70 to launch another attack on the facilities that have been destroyed once.
After the brief exchange ended, Muda, who breathed a sigh of relief, smeared the sweat hanging on his forehead, then switched the communication channel of the intercom, and said in a low voice.
...The goal is just below the float in front. That's all I can help you. You'd better not stay for too long. I can only wait for you for fifteen minutes at most.
A moment later, echoes came from the walkie-talkie.
Received, thank you.
You're welcome, good luck.
After saying that, Muda waved his hand and signaled the driver in the cabin to continue moving towards the northwest and wander around the float not far away.
Standing behind Muda, the sailor with a rifle on his back hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but speak.
...Why should we help them?
This kind of thing is not risk-free.
If they were discovered by the Federal Navy and they covered the wreckage of a 70 refuge-type submarine entering the current power station, no matter how they explained it, they would probably not be able to explain it clearly.
Staring at the dark tide, Muda actually didn't understand why he agreed to help.
The federal government has long identified the attack, and the conflict between island survivors and Sanctuary No. 70 is far more than one power station.
Even if those guys from the league found any new clues, he didn't think those clues could change anything.
That's just a fuse.
but
He still wants to know what the truth is.
Perhaps there is another possibility of one in ten thousand.
After being silent for a long time in the noisy sea breeze, he spoke slowly.
It's not just helping them.
It's also helping ourselves.
The sailor looked at the chief's back blankly, and he didn't know what to say for a long time...
……
At the same time, directly under the speedboat, a drum-shaped submarine was rotating the propeller and slowly advancing towards the facilities that were sunk on the seabed.
This submarine was the one that Huang Guangwei had stranded on the beach before.
The researchers of the scientific research team not only helped repair the damaged power system and simplified the operating module, but also installed it with harpoon launchers, underwater grenade launchers, etc. underwater weapons systems airlifted from Shuguang City to French Fries Port at the request of Scenery.
Since there has not been actual tests, even researchers who installed these weapons on submarines do not know whether these things can work.
However, considering that this mission may be attacked by aquatic mutants lurking under the sea, Sce chose to bring them with him.
At the same time, she also prayed silently in her heart.
I hope these guys won't use this mission.
It's really spectacular here...
Sitting in the cockpit, Sce turned on the searchlight of the submarine, his eyes moved with the camera, and carefully inspected the metal wreckage near Chip.
I saw a ring with a diameter of more than ten meters deep embedded in the seabed. In the middle of the ring was a huge metal impeller. At this moment, these impellers, like the metal brackets outside, were entangled by out-of-control cables, like a shipwrecked by seaweed.
This should be the subsea turbine generator of the Ocean Current Power Station, and it should belong to different power systems from the floating generator floating on the sea surface and now unknown where it has been washed away.
There are more than a dozen similar turbine generators nearby, and this is only the part she can see at the moment.
Countless metal remains scattered on the rocky seabed, and colorful fish pass by from time to time under the dark shadow.
It doesn't look like the wreckage of a power station, but like an underwater city sinking to the bottom of the sea.
Looking at the area lit by the searchlight, his tail in the passenger seat opened his mouth in surprise, and from time to time he let out an incredible scream.
I gia...
This realistic light and shadow effect!
This flowing texture details!
And this CG-level scenario modeling!
It's just a thrill, okay?
Unfortunately, the VM has no signal, otherwise she would really want to share the scenery here immediately with the sesame paste and meat left on the shore, as well as everyone on the forum.
A faint current was detected outside the submarine, and it seemed that there were still a few generator sets still working... No wonder no alien species was seen here.
After taking a look at the alarm that was jumping on the central control screen, Ss operated the searchlight and camera and moved to the left side of the submarine, quickly locking an area without fish movement.
That is probably the source of leakage.
Marking the area on the map, Sis pointed at the screen with his index finger in front of the machine, resetting a safe route, controlling the submarine to carefully bypass the area and continue to move towards the target.
According to the information provided by the resident of the No. 70 refuge, the NPC of the scientific research mission not only helped to draw a three-dimensional model of the wreckage of the current power station, but also made exploration paths and data collection plans in advance, greatly reducing the amount of manual operations.
After arriving at the target area, she only needs to make some random fine-tuning of the route based on the situation on the scene.
This task is actually very easy.
So much so that she was thinking that before she could explore this ruins, she would go to the Golden Coast to investigate the coordinates of the sinking ship.
Unlike Sis, who had always had something to do, his tail, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked out of the cockpit window with excitement, wishing he could weld his face and nose to the window together.
The uneasy look was not like an investigator on a dive mission, but like a tourist here.
It was not until the submarine drove into the bottom of a turbine generator that she suddenly remembered the ongoing mission and looked at Sce excitedly.
By the way!How will we investigate next?
Staring at the three-dimensional map model on the central control screen and the green dot representing the current position of the submarine, Sis took a deep breath and said.
It is very simple, arrive at the specified area of the map, release the detector, and wait for data collection, and then recycle the detector.
Eh?!Tail looked at Sce with a surprised look. Is that simple?
It's not simple either, there are quite a lot of dangers here... Isn't it a good thing to be simple?Why are you so disappointed?
Si Si glanced at Awei in a hurry, and looked at the guy with regret, and couldn't help but look helpless.
Meet the helpless gaze, Tail reached out to scratch the back of his head, and smiled embarrassedly
Where is it!To be simple is of course a good thing, but if this happens... won’t you even need to leave the cabin.
Sis said after thinking for a moment.
Probably not needed.
Hmm!
A deeply blown expression appeared on his tail's face, but he looked at Sis gracefully and repeatedly confirmed, but... Is it really okay to not check it carefully?If there are any clues left behind hidden in the fish's belly or behind the reef
How could there be such a thing? Looking at this whimsical guy, Sce couldn't help but complain, "Do you think this is the crime scene of a detective novel?"
In nearly two and a half months, the Southern Archipelago Federation must have conducted a careful investigation and search of this sea area.
In this case, it is unrealistic to expect to discover new clues that have been missed by the Federal Navy, and the ones that are most promising to discover clues are those seemingly ordinary clues.
For example, the operating data of power stations, etc.
The alliance's scientific research team is best at digging clues from massive data, and they can see them at a glance if there are suspicious clues.
After learning that he didn't have to go out of the cabin to investigate, Awei suddenly sat in the passenger seat listlessly like a deflated ball.
Sis looked at her with his eyes wide open and couldn't help asking.
...At the time, this is at least a hundred meters deep under the sea. Are you not afraid at all?
Tail looked at her strangely and tilted his head.
Fear?
For example...deep sea phobia or something.
Looking at Sis staring at the central control screen intently, his tail seemed to have guessed something, and a cramped smile gradually rose to the corner of his mouth.
oh!Tail understands!Sis' weakness is the seabed!
What is this weakness?And how is that possible... there is nothing to be afraid of.
Sis was stunned for a moment, and his rebuttal almost blurted out, but the gaze that was motionless stuck to the central control screen seemed unconvincing.
It is rare to see a good friend showing this embarrassing look, and the smirk that teases people on his tail's face became more and more obvious, and the corners of his raised mouth became increasingly unconcealed.
Then take a look out the window!
Sis refused immediately without thinking.
I don't want it, it's the same when looking at the screen.
Just take a look!
OK OK OK... Stop making trouble Awei, we are here, it’s time to do the serious business!
While talking, Sce glanced at the parameters in the upper left corner of the central control screen and hurriedly took a picture of the button to launch the detector.
A metal ball the size of a basketball ejected from the abdomen of the sneaking Qi, and led a lead to the metal wreckage dozens of meters away.
The metal sphere is getting closer and closer to the interface, and is about to lean on it.
However, at this moment, an embarrassing thing happened.
The metal ball floating forward suddenly paused and was pulled by the straight wire.
Sis' expression froze, he hurriedly looked at the parameters on the central control screen, and said in his heart that terrible.
The distance is still a little short...
Just as she was about to operate the submarine and approached a little while, a sudden ocean current blew the detector holding the data line upwards and hung on a propeller blade tilted on the metal wreckage.
The detector dragging the leads was like a pendulum, making several circles on the propeller blades, and the attached leads were completely wrapped around the blades.
This is more than a little worse.
Noting the gradually solemn expression on Sis's face, Tail also put away his joking expression and asked carefully.
What happened?
Nothing, a small problem. I made a mistake just now and the detector got stuck on the blade. Someone had to go over and pick it off the blade... Awei, you are waiting for me here.
I still have to wipe my butt by myself.
After looking at the deep darkness outside the cockpit, Ss swallowed and twitched his teeth and reached out to his seat belt.
Actually, it's not that scary...
She murmured in her heart, trying to convince herself that everything around her was nothing but game modeling, and there was nothing scary at all.
Just when she finally made up her mind to untie the seat belt, she saw that her tail had already stood up from her seat, opened the metal cabinet in the cockpit, and turned out the fully enclosed deep-sea diving suit placed inside.
It took less than a minute to put on the diving suit and his tail was vigorously giving Sce a thumbs up.
It's OK to remove that detector from the blade?Leave it to the tail!
The guy was like rushing to swim, and it was completely inconsistent to replace the pressure-relieving diving suit on his body with a lifebuoy.
Sis looked at her blankly and whispered after a while.
...Are you okay?
Tail grinned.
A small matter!
After saying that, she stepped back into the buffer room, made a playful salute gesture, and closed the gate of the buffer field neatly.
The sea water pouring into the cabin fills the buffer compartment, and then the door on the outside slowly opens outward.
He spit out a string of long bubbles, stood by the hatch door, slammed his legs slowly out of the cabin, and leaned towards the detector wrapped around the turbine generator blades.
This work is indeed not very difficult.
It can even be said that you have hands.
However, Sis, who was sitting in the cockpit, couldn't help but feel sweat for Awei.
The deep darkness was like a monster's bloody mouth. I don't know why this nerve-wracking guy was not afraid at all.
Just as she was thinking so, a full of energy came from the communication channel.
oh!It has been unlocked...s!What's next?
After returning from daze, Sis quickly reached out to point his index finger on the central control screen.
Ah, just move that detector to the interface, I'll send you the location.
receive!
The position of the interface was confirmed through the visual window of the helmet eyepiece, and the tail clamped the detector under his elbow. Then he started the small propeller installed behind the diving suit and swam towards the marked position.
It was a terminal machine welded to a metal bracket.
The screen has failed, but the wiring is still intact.
Tail brought the detector over, and soon two robotic arms extended from the side of the metal ball, grabbed the terminal, and firmly fixed itself on it like a spider.
Next, just leave it to it to complete it yourself.
The tail let go of his hand and floated back a short distance. He watched the little guy connected to the terminal and connected the thread originally connected to the terminal screen to his round body.
Sis, who was sitting in the cockpit, breathed a sigh of relief and said as he looked at the progress bar on the central control screen.
The data transmission is in progress... It takes about 5 minutes. Awei, how is your situation?
The tail floating beside the detector waved his arms towards the bright searchlight, and then a dull sound came from the communication channel.
oh!Everything is normal, it's so quiet here!
Always feeling that there is something bad hidden in the dark waters, Sce said worriedly.
The detector is connected...Awei, why don't you come back first.
Don't worry, let's wait for the data to be transferred. What if something happens?
It should...not be.While talking, Sis swallowed unconsciously.
However, the slightest pause that was not easy to detect was heard by someone on the other end of the communication channel.
A cramped smile suddenly appeared on his face, and his tail smiled badly.
Eh?Could it be that Sce is scared?
Sis was stunned for a moment, and his face turned red as he reacted.
What are you talking about, me, what do I have to be afraid of!
His right hand touched the thick pressure relief helmet, leaned against the tail next to the metal bracket, and made the action of rubbing his index finger against his chin.
It's a bit strange. Sis, who works in the morgue, actually has something to be afraid of!
What morgue!I'm Pathology Ah!
Listening to the sound coming from the communication channel, Sis was amused and crying, but before he could finish his speech, he was interrupted by a sudden alarm call.
!You have something underneath!
Sis was slightly stunned and quickly sat up from the chair.
Are you kidding?Don't joke at this time!
No, I'm serious, it seems that something really is there... Also, look around your searchlight, don't keep facing me!
Almost as Awei finished speaking, a slight tremor climbed up her ankle from far to near through the bilge of the submarine.
Sis was shocked, as if he realized this error that he shouldn't have made, so he quickly pressed down the searchlight and shone it directly under the submarine.
The beam of light was like a sharp sword piercing through the darkness, piercing into a dark abyss.
Just as she illuminated the abyss, she found an amber pupil hiding in the huge rock basin, staring at her intently.
That eye is the size of a truck.
Gray-black tentacles as thick as buckets float behind it, like vines wrapped around the walls, climbing over the rocky seabed.
When did this guy move here?!
Or...
It's always there!
A cold that penetrated deep into the bone marrow climbed onto Sce's back.
The fear of the deep sea and the tentacles was superimposed, causing her to stop her heartbeat for a moment.
The tremors coming through the cabin became stronger and stronger, and the sea water around the submarine seemed to be boiling.
She knows
That was the silent roar of this deep-sea giant beast!
I'm gia!Tentacle monster?!
The sound of the tail suddenly woke Sis up, and she shouted loudly with almost conditioned reflex.
Awei!Protect the detector!
At the same time, she decisively cut off the traction rope between the submarine and the detector regardless of the progress bar that had been halfway through.
As it turns out, her judgment is correct.
Almost the moment she cut off Ah's traction rope, a whizzing black shadow whipped on the side of the submarine.
The submarine hovered beside the wreckage instantly rolled out like a golf ball that had been knocked away, and stopped until it hit a metal bracket heavily.
The metal bracket was bent and overwhelmed. The overwhelming creaking sound came through the bulkhead of the submarine, and there was also the muffled sound falling on the top of the submarine.
Shaking his groggy head, Sce barely woke up from his coma, and with the remaining consciousness, he adjusted the output power of the power system to the maximum, and drove the submarine away from the dangerous area before the alloy structure above fell.
Almost less than ten meters away, rolling mud swept away not far behind the submarine, and the collapsed metal fragments slowly and firmly buried the reef below.
If she hadn't reacted quickly enough, she would have been in danger.
call……
Sis, leaning against the seat, gasped, his chest undulating violently.
Without hesitation, she stared at the central control screen where the signal lights were leaping wildly. The operation of the searchlight and the lens quickly scanned the seabed below, and circled towards the north side of the ruins while hurriedly searching for the traces of the sea monster.
The guy seemed to have disappeared and disappeared.
But Ss knew very well that the guy was definitely still nearby, and he was hiding somewhere near the ruins of this power station!
……Tail!How are you?
There is no answer in the communication channel.
Scattered metal wreckage is everywhere, and cables floating around the turbine generator form a natural shielding field.
cut……
Gripping his teeth tightly, Sis punched the armrest of the chair, then stretched out his index finger and tapped the screen, resetting the route back to the center of the ruins.
The data transmission has not been completed yet, and the original data is still stored in the detector.
If the small water pipes transmitted wirelessly are transported bit by bit, then the huge data may have been transmitted to the year of the monkey and horse month.
Not to mention the possible packet loss!
The only way now is to get the detector back.
It seemed that she could sense the movement under the sea. At the same time she rushed to the center of the ruins again, the NPC named Muda sent a communication request.
While staring at the black seabed vigilantly, Ss reached out and pressed the switch button.
The communication was almost connected, and the roar of fried wheat came into her ears.
What are you doing?!Test nuclear weapons?!
There was no time to talk nonsense with this guy, Sce took a deep breath and said with a key point.
monster!Here is a sea monster with many tentacles!It's somewhere below the ruins of the Yang Current Power Station!
The other end of the communication channel was stunned for a moment.
Sea monster?!How is that possible!Large alien species are not close to that area at all, where generators are working
Sis: Here’s the problem!Because of the current, ordinary fish will not enter the ruins at all, but something forces the big guy to stay in it. I suspect it is almost starving to death... I think it is spiritual interference, what do you think?
Muda exclaimed.
Spiritual interference?!How is that possible!
Sis: I don’t have time to explain... The thing that controls that thing should be nearby. Do you have a way to locate other mental interference devices?If you can, you will be a big help!
Muda roared and said: Don’t worry about the mental interference device for now, come up quickly!
Listening to the anxious voice of the NPC, Sce said calmly.
My teammate is still down there, and I will never be able to leave her behind.And the detector...I have to get that thing back, and even if I die, I have to get it back!
Are you crazy?!That's our war!It's ours!There is no need for you to save your life for it!
Muda, standing on the speedboat, widened her eyes, held the walkie-talkie tightly in her right hand, and roared with all her strength.
However, there was no echo on the other end of the communication channel, leaving only dead silence.
The noisy waves were like rapid drums, flooding the white foam that kept gushing out of the sea.
He couldn't understand.
Why do these guys work hard to do this?
The total time they met was less than half a month!
And this short half month is not very pleasant.
I don’t know how many people are waiting to see those people’s jokes, and I don’t know how many people want them to get out of here immediately and return to their wasteland.
Mu Da gritted his teeth and tightly held the echoless intercom in his hand tightly.
What to say is to end the wasteland...
Who cares about that kind of thing!
At least no one cares here!
He took a deep breath, and suddenly Muda turned around and shouted in the direction of the cockpit as if he had made up his mind.
Turn off the mind interference device!
The sailor standing in the cockpit was stunned.
Mind interference devices are their tools to drive away alien species.
If they turn off that thing, they will risk being overturned at any time.
But
The sailor tried to dissuade him, but as soon as he spoke, he was roared back by the superior.
I said it!Turn off!immediately!
yes!The sailor dared not hesitate to face the chief's murderous sight, so he could only turn off the mental interference device in a hurry and prayed silently in his heart, not to have any aliens stare at them.
Muda quickly walked into the cabin, pushed him away, staring at the terminal's screen.
After the mind interference device was turned off, the screen was silent, as if it was broken.
Muda held his breath and waited anxiously.
At this moment, a slight ripples suddenly appeared on the calm screen, just like a dragonfly clicking through the water.
The moment he saw the ripples, his heart suddenly flew into his throat.
That's the signal of the mind interference device
Is it true?!
It was not only Muda who was shocked, but the sailor standing next to him was also shocked, his face full of incredible shock.
The only mental interference device in a radius of more than ten miles is on their speedboat.
Where did the signal come from?!
Lock its position!
Throwing this sentence, Muda pushed open the door and walked out of the cockpit, shouting loudly at another sailor on the speedboat.
Deep water bomb preparation!
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, the sailor swallowed and nodded quickly.
yes!
Muda, standing at the bow of the speedboat, was staring at the red and green light spots that were rising and falling with the waves in the distance, and the emotions in his eyes couldn't help but look at the colors of memories.
About two months ago, there was still a peaceful and peaceful scene. The orange-yellow rollers fluctuated with the waves of the ocean currents, emitting a shimmering light in the sun, just like wheat fields growing on the sea. The waves one after another were its swaying golden.

Muda said concisely.

OK, need reinforcements?
No need for the time being.
OK, then stay in touch, if you need reinforcements, we will be there soon.
The echoes in the communication channel were relaxed and comfortable, and they were even chewing potato chips, and they had no doubt about his statement.
It seems that more than two months have passed, and the brothers patrolling this area have still relaxed.
But it's no wonder.

The alliance's scientific research team is best at digging clues from massive data, and they can see them at a glance if there are suspicious clues.
After learning that he didn't have to go out of the cabin to investigate, Awei suddenly sat in the passenger seat listlessly like a deflated ball.
Sis looked at her with his eyes wide open and couldn't help asking.
...At the time, this is at least a hundred meters deep under the sea. Are you not afraid at all?
Tail looked at her strangely and tilted his head.
Fear?
For example...deep sea phobia or something.
Looking at Sis staring at the central control screen intently, his tail seemed to have guessed something, and a cramped smile gradually rose to the corner of his mouth.
oh!Tail understands!Sis' weakness is the seabed!
What is this weakness?And how is that possible... there is nothing to be afraid of.
Sis was stunned for a moment, and his rebuttal almost blurted out, but the gaze that was motionless stuck to the central control screen seemed unconvincing.
It is rare to see a good friend showing this embarrassing look, and the smirk that teases people on his tail's face became more and more obvious, and the corners of his raised mouth became increasingly unconcealed.
Then take a look out the window!
Sis refused immediately without thinking.
I don't want it, it's the same when looking at the screen.
Just take a look!
OK OK OK... Stop making trouble Awei, we are here, it’s time to do the serious business!
While talking, Sce glanced at the parameters in the upper left corner of the central control screen and hurriedly took a picture of the button to launch the detector.
A metal ball the size of a basketball ejected from the abdomen of the sneaking Qi, and led a lead to the metal wreckage dozens of meters away.
The metal sphere is getting closer and closer to the interface, and is about to lean on it.
However, at this moment, an embarrassing thing happened.
The metal ball floating forward suddenly paused and was pulled by the straight wire.
Sis' expression froze, he hurriedly looked at the parameters on the central control screen, and said in his heart that terrible.
The distance is still a little short...
Just as she was about to operate the submarine and approached a little while, a sudden ocean current blew the detector holding the data line upwards and hung on a propeller blade tilted on the metal wreckage.
The detector dragging the leads was like a pendulum, making several circles on the propeller blades, and the attached leads were completely wrapped around the blades.
This is more than a little worse.
Noting the gradually solemn expression on Sis's face, Tail also put away his joking expression and asked carefully.
What happened?
Nothing, a small problem. I made a mistake just now and the detector got stuck on the blade. Someone had to go over and pick it off the blade... Awei, you are waiting for me here.
I still have to wipe my butt by myself.
After looking at the deep darkness outside the cockpit, Ss swallowed and twitched his teeth and reached out to his seat belt.
Actually, it's not that scary...
She murmured in her heart, trying to convince herself that everything around her was nothing but game modeling, and there was nothing scary at all.
Just when she finally made up her mind to untie the seat belt, she saw that her tail had already stood up from her seat, opened the metal cabinet in the cockpit, and turned out the fully enclosed deep-sea diving suit placed inside.
It took less than a minute to put on the diving suit and his tail was vigorously giving Sce a thumbs up.
It's OK to remove that detector from the blade?Leave it to the tail!
The guy was like rushing to swim, and it was completely inconsistent to replace the pressure-relieving diving suit on his body with a lifebuoy.
Sis looked at her blankly and whispered after a while.
...Are you okay?
Tail grinned.
A small matter!
After saying that, she stepped back into the buffer room, made a playful salute gesture, and closed the gate of the buffer field neatly.
The sea water pouring into the cabin fills the buffer compartment, and then the door on the outside slowly opens outward.
He spit out a string of long bubbles, stood by the hatch door, slammed his legs slowly out of the cabin, and leaned towards the detector wrapped around the turbine generator blades.
This work is indeed not very difficult.
It can even be said that you have hands.
However, Sis, who was sitting in the cockpit, couldn't help but feel sweat for Awei.
The deep darkness was like a monster's bloody mouth. I don't know why this nerve-wracking guy was not afraid at all.
Just as she was thinking so, a full of energy came from the communication channel.
oh!It has been unlocked...s!What's next?
After returning from daze, Sis quickly reached out to point his index finger on the central control screen.
Ah, just move that detector to the interface, I'll send you the location.
receive!
The position of the interface was confirmed through the visual window of the helmet eyepiece, and the tail clamped the detector under his elbow. Then he started the small propeller installed behind the diving suit and swam towards the marked position.
It was a terminal machine welded to a metal bracket.
The screen has failed, but the wiring is still intact.
Tail brought the detector over, and soon two robotic arms extended from the side of the metal ball, grabbed the terminal, and firmly fixed itself on it like a spider.
Next, just leave it to it to complete it yourself.
The tail let go of his hand and floated back a short distance. He watched the little guy connected to the terminal and connected the thread originally connected to the terminal screen to his round body.
Sis, who was sitting in the cockpit, breathed a sigh of relief and said as he looked at the progress bar on the central control screen.
The data transmission is in progress... It takes about 5 minutes. Awei, how is your situation?
The tail floating beside the detector waved his arms towards the bright searchlight, and then a dull sound came from the communication channel.
oh!Everything is normal, it's so quiet here!
Always feeling that there is something bad hidden in the dark waters, Sce said worriedly.
The detector is connected...Awei, why don't you come back first.
Don't worry, let's wait for the data to be transferred. What if something happens?
It should...not be.While talking, Sis swallowed unconsciously.
However, the slightest pause that was not easy to detect was heard by someone on the other end of the communication channel.
A cramped smile suddenly appeared on his face, and his tail smiled badly.
Eh?Could it be that Sce is scared?
Sis was stunned for a moment, and his face turned red as he reacted.
What are you talking about, me, what do I have to be afraid of!
His right hand touched the thick pressure relief helmet, leaned against the tail next to the metal bracket, and made the action of rubbing his index finger against his chin.
It's a bit strange. Sis, who works in the morgue, actually has something to be afraid of!
What morgue!I'm Pathology Ah!
Listening to the sound coming from the communication channel, Sis was amused and crying, but before he could finish his speech, he was interrupted by a sudden alarm call.
!You have something underneath!
Sis was slightly stunned and quickly sat up from the chair.
Are you kidding?Don't joke at this time!
No, I'm serious, it seems that something really is there... Also, look around your searchlight, don't keep facing me!
Almost as Awei finished speaking, a slight tremor climbed up her ankle from far to near through the bilge of the submarine.
Sis was shocked, as if he realized this error that he shouldn't have made, so he quickly pressed down the searchlight and shone it directly under the submarine.
The beam of light was like a sharp sword piercing through the darkness, piercing into a dark abyss.
Just as she illuminated the abyss, she found an amber pupil hiding in the huge rock basin, staring at her intently.
That eye is the size of a truck.
Gray-black tentacles as thick as buckets float behind it, like vines wrapped around the walls, climbing over the rocky seabed.
When did this guy move here?!
Or...
It's always there!
A cold that penetrated deep into the bone marrow climbed onto Sce's back.
The fear of the deep sea and the tentacles was superimposed, causing her to stop her heartbeat for a moment.
The tremors coming through the cabin became stronger and stronger, and the sea water around the submarine seemed to be boiling.
She knows
That was the silent roar of this deep-sea giant beast!
I'm gia!Tentacle monster?!
The sound of the tail suddenly woke Sis up, and she shouted loudly with almost conditioned reflex.
Awei!Protect the detector!
At the same time, she decisively cut off the traction rope between the submarine and the detector regardless of the progress bar that had been halfway through.
As it turns out, her judgment is correct.
Almost the moment she cut off Ah's traction rope, a whizzing black shadow whipped on the side of the submarine.
The submarine hovered beside the wreckage instantly rolled out like a golf ball that had been knocked away, and stopped until it hit a metal bracket heavily.
The metal bracket was bent and overwhelmed. The overwhelming creaking sound came through the bulkhead of the submarine, and there was also the muffled sound falling on the top of the submarine.
Shaking his groggy head, Sce barely woke up from his coma, and with the remaining consciousness, he adjusted the output power of the power system to the maximum, and drove the submarine away from the dangerous area before the alloy structure above fell.
Almost less than ten meters away, rolling mud swept away not far behind the submarine, and the collapsed metal fragments slowly and firmly buried the reef below.
If she hadn't reacted quickly enough, she would have been in danger.
call……
Sis, leaning against the seat, gasped, his chest undulating violently.
Without hesitation, she stared at the central control screen where the signal lights were leaping wildly. The operation of the searchlight and the lens quickly scanned the seabed below, and circled towards the north side of the ruins while hurriedly searching for the traces of the sea monster.
The guy seemed to have disappeared and disappeared.
But Ss knew very well that the guy was definitely still nearby, and he was hiding somewhere near the ruins of this power station!
……Tail!How are you?
There is no answer in the communication channel.
Scattered metal wreckage is everywhere, and cables floating around the turbine generator form a natural shielding field.
cut……
Gripping his teeth tightly, Sis punched the armrest of the chair, then stretched out his index finger and tapped the screen, resetting the route back to the center of the ruins.
The data transmission has not been completed yet, and the original data is still stored in the detector.
If the small water pipes transmitted wirelessly are transported bit by bit, then the huge data may have been transmitted to the year of the monkey and horse month.
Not to mention the possible packet loss!
The only way now is to get the detector back.
It seemed that she could sense the movement under the sea. At the same time she rushed to the center of the ruins again, the NPC named Muda sent a communication request.
While staring at the black seabed vigilantly, Ss reached out and pressed the switch button.
The communication was almost connected, and the roar of fried wheat came into her ears.
What are you doing?!Test nuclear weapons?!
There was no time to talk nonsense with this guy, Sce took a deep breath and said with a key point.
monster!Here is a sea monster with many tentacles!It's somewhere below the ruins of the Yang Current Power Station!
The other end of the communication channel was stunned for a moment.
Sea monster?!How is that possible!Large alien species are not close to that area at all, where generators are working
Sis: Here’s the problem!Because of the current, ordinary fish will not enter the ruins at all, but something forces the big guy to stay in it. I suspect it is almost starving to death... I think it is spiritual interference, what do you think?
Muda exclaimed.
Spiritual interference?!How is that possible!
Sis: I don’t have time to explain... The thing that controls that thing should be nearby. Do you have a way to locate other mental interference devices?If you can, you will be a big help!
Muda roared and said: Don’t worry about the mental interference device for now, come up quickly!
Listening to the anxious voice of the NPC, Sce said calmly.
My teammate is still down there, and I will never be able to leave her behind.And the detector...I have to get that thing back, and even if I die, I have to get it back!
Are you crazy?!That's our war!It's ours!There is no need for you to save your life for it!
Muda, standing on the speedboat, widened her eyes, held the walkie-talkie tightly in her right hand, and roared with all her strength.
However, there was no echo on the other end of the communication channel, leaving only dead silence.
The noisy waves were like rapid drums, flooding the white foam that kept gushing out of the sea.
He couldn't understand.
Why do these guys work hard to do this?
The total time they met was less than half a month!
And this short half month is not very pleasant.
I don’t know how many people are waiting to see those people’s jokes, and I don’t know how many people want them to get out of here immediately and return to their wasteland.
Mu Da gritted his teeth and tightly held the echoless intercom in his hand tightly.
What to say is to end the wasteland...
Who cares about that kind of thing!
At least no one cares here!
He took a deep breath, and suddenly Muda turned around and shouted in the direction of the cockpit as if he had made up his mind.
Turn off the mind interference device!
The sailor standing in the cockpit was stunned.
Mind interference devices are their tools to drive away alien species.
If they turn off that thing, they will risk being overturned at any time.
But
The sailor tried to dissuade him, but as soon as he spoke, he was roared back by the superior.
I said it!Turn off!immediately!
yes!The sailor dared not hesitate to face the chief's murderous sight, so he could only turn off the mental interference device in a hurry and prayed silently in his heart, not to have any aliens stare at them.
Muda quickly walked into the cabin, pushed him away, staring at the terminal's screen.
After the mind interference device was turned off, the screen was silent, as if it was broken.
Muda held his breath and waited anxiously.
At this moment, a slight ripples suddenly appeared on the calm screen, just like a dragonfly clicking through the water.
The moment he saw the ripples, his heart suddenly flew into his throat.
That's the signal of the mind interference device
Is it true?!
It was not only Muda who was shocked, but the sailor standing next to him was also shocked, his face full of incredible shock.
The only mental interference device in a radius of more than ten miles is on their speedboat.
Where did the signal come from?!
Lock its position!
Throwing this sentence, Muda pushed open the door and walked out of the cockpit, shouting loudly at another sailor on the speedboat.
Deep water bomb preparation!
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, the sailor swallowed and nodded quickly.
yes!
