Deep Sea Survival: Start a Submarine
Chapter 99: 1 big profit!
Popular recommendation:
When Meng Lei and his party were full of hope, they escaped from the elevator in the shaft.
What appeared in front of me was not what I expected.
Instead, there is a deeper despair.
The boundless darkness engulfed all hope, and the whole world seemed to be completely shrouded in darkness, with no trace of light to be seen.
Not only did the searchlights around the buildings in the lower area go out, but even the dim light from the portholes inside the building disappeared.
It seems that the power system in the lower area has been completely destroyed, and it seems that the entire facility has been completely swallowed by sea water.
There was a deadly silence in everything.
Not to mention, there are only a few submarines in the dock, and at this moment there is no shadow at all.
Boundless despair and deep doubts instantly surfaced in everyone's heart.
I originally thought that if I escaped from the purgatory-like city, I would be able to get out of trouble and get a new life.
But no one would have imagined that such a situation would happen outside.
"Where's the submarine? Where's the submarine?"
"Could it be that all the submarines were destroyed? Or when the riot happened, all the people who stayed in the submarine drove away?"
No one knows exactly what happened.
Looking at Zhou Tian's pitch-black environment, what everyone felt was panic and despair.
If the ship is really driven away, what's the point of them rushing out desperately?
It is better to just hide in the house and enjoy the last short peace before dying.
Meng Lei was the most panicked among all of them, but he was also the most calm one.
He didn't think that Gina and Hawke, who remained on the boat, would drive the boat away alone when the captain's life and death were unknown.
Judging from the two days of contact, the nature of the two should not be bad.
What he is most worried about is whether there will be other accidents in the lower area, causing the two to encounter any danger.
After all, all the ships are gone, which is clearly not normal.
With huge doubts, Meng Lei didn't take too long.
Making gestures to the few people behind him, to soothe their emotions, Meng Lei took a deep breath, turned on his flashlight, and swam down quickly.
He intends to observe the situation closely, at least to have a general judgment in his heart.
If there is really no way to retreat, then in the end, we can only temporarily retreat to the airlock room of the shaft elevator. Every second is a second.
Both legs swayed quickly, and the flexibility of the combat diving suit was very high. It didn't take long for Meng Lei to swim to the edge of the lower area.
With the bright beam of light emitted by the tactical flashlight, it can be vaguely seen that there are many damages on the building shell in the lower area.
But looking at the traces of damage, it doesn't seem like it was caused by an explosion.
Instead, it was more like some kind of ship-based weapon that forcibly tore the building wall from the outside, resulting in pressure imbalance, seawater backflow, and finally submerging the entire facility.
At the moment, the mooring passage of the dock is empty.
There are only one or two submarines scattered, as if they have lost their energy and power, and only a huge black shadow is revealed, quietly traversing the bottom of the sea.
Seeing this, the pressure in Meng Lei's heart suddenly eased a lot.
As long as there are submarines at the dock, it is not a corner, at least there is a certain hope of survival.
Although they don't have ID cards for these submarines, they can't open the outside airlock doors.
But in the buildings in the lower part of the city, it should be possible to find tools such as hand-held cutters and force their way in.
At this time, Huo Ye, Simon and others who were following behind Meng Lei obviously realized this.
There was a hint of surprise on the face full of despair, revealing the joy of flying from **** to heaven.
Meng Lei waved to a few people, ignored the submarines for the time being, turned and swam in the direction of the gap in the facility where the outer wall was torn apart.
Time is running out and the oxygen content of the wetsuit is limited.
Before the oxygen runs out, they must find a door-breaking tool, enter the submarine to start the reactor, and make the oxygen generator run, which can be regarded as a real escape.
As for where the Sea Locust went, now is not the time to struggle with this issue.
The crisis of life and death has not been resolved, and in any case, we must first ensure that we can survive.
Everyone swam quickly and entered the facility that was completely submerged by sea water through the gap in the outer wall.
Walking all the way, you can see a large number of storage boxes scattered on the ground in the passage inside the facility.
There are faint traces of battle nearby.
These traces obviously appeared recently, because when Meng Lei and the others first arrived, there were no such traces and storage boxes.
"What's the situation? Why are there so many storage boxes?"
Meng Lei was a little puzzled. He couldn't figure out what happened in the lower area at the same time when the infection of the painted skin broke out in the upper area.
However, from the beginning to the end, he held the diving knife tightly in his hand, and did not dare to relax his vigilance.
Because he clearly remembered that several security officers in the lower area of the Rongyan Post were also infected with painted skin parasites at the time.
If nothing else, it would have mutated by this time.
Continuing to go deeper, there is a fork in the road ahead.
At this moment, Lanny accelerated and swam from the side, stepped forward and patted Meng Lei on the shoulder.
Meng Lei turned his head suspiciously, and saw Lanny pointing to another passage next to him, motioning for Meng Lei to follow.
Lannie was obviously more familiar with the environment here than Meng Lei.
After realizing that everyone needed a door-breaking tool, Lenny led everyone directly to the shipyard area in the lower area.
Then from a sealed cabinet in a workshop, I found a bunch of repair tools.
Among them are handheld cutters and underwater welding tools.
The group took the guy, did not stay in place, and ignored the storage boxes scattered in the passage, and returned to the dock as soon as possible.
Led by two engineers, Karl and Hans, they found a submarine and used a cutter to cut open the outer hatch of the airlock.
When the whole crew entered the submarine, Carl immediately ran to the reactor room and started the submarine's reactor.
Hans performed a simple repair on the damaged hatch, temporarily plugging the cut gap.
It didn't take long for the energy system to return to normal, and the lights flickered in the dark cabin.
At this time, everyone finally let out a long breath.
saved!
On the deck on the first floor of the submarine, Lanny slumped on the ground, slapped the ground with tears, and shouted with snot and tears:
"Thank God, thank God! I didn't expect it to come out, it really came out!"
Huo Ye was lying on the ground with no strength, laughing uncontrollably, hysterical, and everyone was a little stunned.
"Hahaha... What a **** painted skin monster, what a **** alliance conspiracy, I can't trap me at all, I have escaped!"
"Great, great, we're finally saved!"
Jia Quan even hugged Simon's arm, jumping and shaking desperately, the excitement in his eyes turned into tears, and he wept with joy!
Everyone is expressing the joy of the rest of their lives in their own way.
He broke free from the abyss of **** and was finally reborn.
At this moment, everyone felt as if they were separated from each other, some unreal illusions.
As the captain, Meng Lei did not show too strong mood swings like others.
After taking a breath, he wandered around the unfamiliar submarine for a while to get a brief understanding of the situation.
Through the logbook, which is very scarce in the central control system, he probably learned.
The captain of this submarine should be a bounty hunter.
This morning, I just arrived at the Rongyan Outpost.
During the previous mission, the ship lost a lot of manpower, so I temporarily settled at the Rongyan Post, intending to add a few crew members here.
After Meng Lei read it, he immediately understood everything.
When the disaster in the business district occurred, the captain of the submarine was presumably taking his men to procure supplies in the city while recruiting crew members.
In order to save energy, the submarine was turned off and temporarily left at the dock.
But he didn't realize that everyone, including him, was trapped in the city and became a poor victim.
And the other two nearby submarines, I think it is the same situation.
The only thing that makes Meng Lei puzzled is, where did the Sea Locust go?
It stands to reason that even after the explosion, Gina and Hawke did not go to the city to save them.
But at least it shouldn't be running away?
Or, they realized that the situation was wrong and tried to find a place to move rescue soldiers?
After all, the beacon station in the vicinity failed, the wireless network signal was lost, and it was impossible to get in touch with the alliance.
If you want the Sea Locust to reconnect to the network, you must go out and find a place with a signal.
Thinking of this, Meng Lei took off his diving suit, took out a handheld tablet from his arms, and opened it to take a look.
Sure enough, the network connection is still disconnected.
After being confirmed, Meng Lei was a little relieved, maybe that was the case.
When the accident happened, Hawke and the others saw that they were powerless to rescue them, and 80% of them went to the ship to inform them.
But another question arises. Who is responsible for the holes in the outer shell of the buildings in the lower area?
Is it part of the outpost alliance's high-level conspiracy plan, or is there another unexpected change?
Thinking room.
The hatch of the bridge command room was opened from the outside, Simon, Huo Ye and others calmed down and walked in one after another.
"captain!"
"commander!"
Several people filed in and stood in front of Meng Lei.
"The Rongyan Outpost is definitely over, what should we do next?"
Huo Ye raised a question, and others also cast their inquiring eyes.
Meng Lei pondered for a moment and was about to speak.
At this time, in the dark ocean outside the porthole, a faint light was inexplicably lit up.
And as time passed, the light source gradually became larger and slowly moved towards them.
"There's a submarine coming!"
Jia Quan immediately shouted, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Everyone turned their heads to look, and Meng Lei even hit the searchlight directly.
All the crew members on the Sea Locust, looking at the submarine that was approaching in the distance, always felt that the shadow of Namo Lake was familiar.
At the same time, a series of numbers suddenly popped up in the short-distance communication list of the center console.
At the end of the number, three familiar big characters appeared in front of them.
It is the "Sea Locust"!
"I go!"
Huo Ye was stunned for a moment, and immediately exclaimed: "Our ship is back?!"
Hans and the others also looked at each other in dismay, a little confused in the surprise.
At the moment when it was confirmed that the Sea Locust disappeared, in fact, they no longer had much hope in their hearts.
It is believed that Hawke and Gina, 80% of the time, saw an armed raid, they escaped from the battle, and went to bed alone.
Who would have thought that the Sea Locust would suddenly turn back at this time?
And to say that among all of them, the most excited is naturally Meng Lei.
Although he forcibly occupied a submarine that could be said to be ownerless, in the final analysis, the Sea Locust was his home.
Almost all of his belongings and assets were on the Sea Locust.
The first-generation Typhon boat that he had meticulously remodeled was his own thing, and feelings could not be bought with money.
At the moment, with excitement, Meng Lei directly opened the short-distance communication system and sent a communication application to the sea locust.
After a short wait, the communication is connected.
A soft voice sounded from the speaker on the center console:
"Hello, unfamiliar friend, Captain Gina is talking to you."
Familiar voice, familiar style, that's right, that crazy ship doctor lady!
"Gina, it's me!" Meng Lei immediately shouted excitedly: "I'm Meng Lei!"
Hearing this, Gina's tone did not seem to be surprised.
But the words were full of ridicule, and said with a tender smile:
"Yo, dear little captain, you're finally out alive, and I thought I'd never see you again!
It really made me sad for a long time! "
This crazy woman, no matter when, has never been a positive type.
Meng Lei reluctantly complained in his heart, and then said:
"Where did you guys go? Why did you come back all of a sudden? Also, what happened in the lower section? Why are all the ships gone?"
"whee…"
Gina just chuckled twice, and was about to continue her incoherent remarks when Hawk's voice suddenly sounded from the loudspeaker.
"Captain?! Is that really you, captain?! You came out of the city?"
After getting Meng Lei's affirmative answer, Hawke immediately shouted excitedly:
"Thank God! Thank God! You're fine, you're fine, we were all scared to death just now, for fear that you might encounter an accident! I'm fortunate that you are blessed and you are finally out of trouble!"
The two sides exchanged a few words, and then Hawke began to ask Meng Lei what happened in the city.
Meng Lei didn't know what to say when he saw these three words, so he told Hawke to bring the boat over, and everyone would meet and talk.
five minutes later.
Including the girl and Lanny, everyone gathered on the first deck of the Returning Market.
Hawk dragged his broken leg and limped to Meng Lei.
Most of the time, his face was paralyzed, and he rarely showed an excited look.
"Captain, you're all right! That's really nice!"
It can be seen that Hawke is happy from the bottom of his heart to see Meng Lei and others again.
Gina was holding a bottle of spirits in her hand, leaning against the bulkhead with her fragrant shoulders half-bared, her azure blue eyes hidden under the mess of hair, and smilingly looking at the crowd without any extra movement.
As for the bottle of wine in her hand, you don't need to think about it to know where it came from.
In this regard, Meng Lei was too lazy to say that she was too much.
After walking through the gate of hell, Meng Lei's mentality changed slightly.
As long as people are alive, money is something outside the body, and it is good to be happy.
At least, at this moment he thought so.
"Captain, what happened at the Rongyan Outpost?! Did the Painted Skin Sect make a comeback? Why did the Painted Skin parasite suddenly appear and blow up the shaft elevator?"
After some warm greetings, Hawke couldn't wait to ask his own questions.
Meng Lei gave a brief explanation, and roughly told Hawke what happened in the city.
After listening, Hawke suddenly showed a look of surprise, with a look of disbelief in his eyes, and suddenly said:
"A new type of painted skin parasite has appeared, and even the skin worms can't be killed!? My God, no wonder the chaos started so suddenly!"
When the voice fell, Hawke secretly muttered again:
"If this is the case, I'm afraid those who left before will have been buried at the bottom of the sea!"
Meng Lei's insight is very keen, and he can clearly see that there is a little gloating on Hawke's face.
Out of curiosity, Meng Lei also asked his doubts.
"After the explosion, what happened in the lower area?! Why do I feel like there's been a battle here?"
Huo Yexin nodded for more than a season, and said in a deep voice:
"It was indeed a battle, and it was fierce!"
Speaking of this, he paused, and Huo Ye immediately said urgently:
"Old Huo, don't give a shit, what's the matter? Who is fighting with whom!? Who wins in the end?"
Hawke took a deep breath and glanced at Huo Ye helplessly, obviously dissatisfied with the name "Old Huo".
But he didn't take it to heart, looked up at Meng Lei, and explained:
"After the explosion in the shaft passage, the lower area was immediately ready to carry out emergency repairs, but due to insufficient manpower, there was a lack of professional technicians.
In the end, we can only close the hatch of the passage first, and maintain the status quo for the time being.
But it didn't take long for a riot to break out at the shipyard.
Several security officers turned into painted skins and attacked the shipyard, infecting most of them.
Then they began to wreak havoc in the lower zone, launching an indiscriminate attack.
In a short period of time, the entire lower area was in chaos! "
Speaking of which, Hawke took a breath.
Looking around, a group of people were waiting for him to follow, so they continued:
"At this time, many people who stayed behind in the dock submarine realized that the turmoil was coming and tried to take advantage of the fire.
They drove the submarine to destroy the outer wall of the building, flooding the entire lower area with sea water.
Then the door to the storage area was opened and the warehouse was ransacked.
At that time, almost everyone participated in it. In order to compete for the materials in the warehouse, a group of people fought hard, and the scene was very chaotic.
Dr. Gina and I were worried that we would be affected, so we ducked far away.
In the end, I felt that the time was almost up, and I was worried that after you came out, if you couldn't find us, there would be an accident.
So hurry back and check the situation. "
Hawke looked at Meng Lei again and said excitedly:
"I didn't expect you to actually come out! It's really good!"
Hearing this, Meng Lei nodded thoughtfully and said:
"No wonder, in the building in the lower area just now, we saw a lot of storage boxes scattered on the ground, and there were signs of fighting.
It turned out that the guys who stayed in the boat took over the snow storage area on the lower level of the site! "
After a pause, Meng Lei took a deep breath and sighed:
"This is really... daring! Aren't they afraid that the Alliance will come back and find them trouble?"
At this time, Simon suddenly shook his head and said:
"After this incident, the entire outpost will probably be destroyed, and the Alliance will only target the culprit behind this incident, and will not care about the behavior of these little shrimps.
Moreover, the lower area has been completely submerged, it is estimated that even the monitoring data has been destroyed, and no one knows who did it.
If you really want to investigate, you can push everything to the painted skin sect, so don't worry at all.
That's why those bounty hunters are so bold. "
As soon as the voice fell, Huo Ye suddenly shouted excitedly:
"In that case, can we also step in and grab something by the way, all as a mental loss!?
I see there are a lot of things in there, it should be worth a lot of money, right? ! "
Simon shrugged noncommittally, spread his hands, and said:
"As long as you don't get caught by the Alliance, you can!"
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
Only Lanny's face was a little stiff, and he said in a heartache:
"Those **** robbers, I still have hundreds of thousands of goods in the warehouse, this is a complete idiot!"
Then, he looked at Meng Lei and the others.
"Everyone, everyone! Raise your hands, if you find out that you have my goods, you must keep them for me!"
Hearing what he said, Meng Lei and the others turned their heads suspiciously and looked at Lanny with contempt.
"It's not your goods. Isn't it all your company's products? The company should also bear the loss. What's the matter with you?"
"That's right, where's the extravagance when you asked everyone to choose a diving suit? Why are people so stingy as soon as they escaped danger?"
"Lao Lan, you can turn a blind eye on this matter. If you don't say it, who would know that we took it?! When I reported it back to the company, I said that it was robbed by someone else and asked the alliance to compensate you. Loss!"
"That's it!"
…
After escaping, everyone was in a good mood, and they spoke a lot more casually.
Several people babbled, accusing Lenny one after another.
Lanny wanted to cry without tears, raised his hands in surrender, and wailed:
"Okay, listen to you, listen to you, take it, take it, take it! I don't care!"
The crowd laughed.
Meng Lei also patted Lanny on the shoulder with a smile and said seriously:
"Ruzi can be taught!"
At this time, Simon faced Meng Lei and said:
"By the way, Captain, in addition to those supplies, our harvest is far more than that!
These submarines nearby are now unowned. According to the law of the alliance, as long as no one reports the theft of these submarines, we can take them for ourselves!
When we go back to Searle City and spend a little money to change the owner, it can become our private property! "
Hearing this, before Meng Lei could speak, Jia Quan asked:
"Won't the Alliance recycle these submarines?"
Simon shook his head and said:
"No, as long as it is an individual's private asset, the alliance will not recycle it under normal circumstances.
Only those warships belonging to the alliance's military armed forces will be forcibly recovered by the alliance, and even if they are robbed, they cannot sail in the waters ruled by the alliance.
That's why there are so many pirates who often attack private submarines. "
Hearing this, Meng Lei nodded thoughtfully.
Just before Hawk and Gina came back, he was still thinking for a moment.
Although they managed to escape by forcing a submarine, they could go back to the gathering place, and it would be troublesome if they were taken away by the alliance.
Hearing what Simon said now, he was immediately excited!
Good guy, there are at least three submarines around here that are not inferior to the size and level of the Sea Locust!
If nothing else, these three submarines alone are worth at least hundreds of thousands!
This time I came to the Rongyan outpost, although it was a near-death situation, I encountered a painted skin crisis.
It is definitely worth it to be able to drive these three submarines away!
The only sad thing is that Charlie died at the hands of Painted Skin and didn't escape with them.
Thinking of this, Meng Lei was still a little excited just now, but he suddenly sank.
But in order not to affect others, he took a deep breath and adjusted his mood.
At this moment, Gina, who had not spoken at the side, suddenly carried the wine bottle and staggered through the crowd.
While walking towards the shaft passage on the second floor, he said drunkenly:
"The matter is almost over, if this incident is really related to the high-level alliance here, then the armed warships that came to meet them, it is estimated that it will not be long before they arrive.
If you don't want to be bumped into by them~www.wuxiaspot.com~ You'd better move faster..."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Gina's words were like a loud slap in the face, waking everyone up at once.
At this time, they suddenly remembered that although they are now out of danger, this matter is not over yet.
As Gina said, if this painted skin crisis is as they had guessed before, the mastermind behind it is related to the Melting Rock Outpost Alliance.
Then after the incident, they must complete the evacuation before the Alliance's investigation fleet arrives.
Therefore, armed response personnel must exist.
If they are bumped into by their correspondents, in order to ensure that the secret is not leaked.
Then their fate can be imagined!
It has now been more than an hour since the outbreak of the painted skin infection, and no one knows when the other party's armed fleet will arrive.
Meng Lei's eyes narrowed and he realized a crisis.
However, he was absolutely reluctant to see the fat meat in front of him.
Need a boat!
Supplies are also required!
The spiritual compensation in exchange for a lifetime of death must not be missed so easily!
Otherwise, the name Sea Locust will lose its soul!
At the moment, he did not dare to delay any longer, and immediately ordered:
"Everyone, bring your guns and ammunition into the water immediately, and scavenge all the materials that can be found in the lower area!"
"Yes!"
Everyone also realized that the time was pressing, no longer hesitated, and acted immediately.
At this moment, Meng Lei suddenly remembered something, turned to look at the girl squatting in the corner, and asked softly:
"Can you tell me anything about this paint-skin crisis?"
