Stop In The Deep Sea

In the early morning, Wang Xin was ready to go. From today on, he will officially take up his post to carry out sea exploration work in the ruined city.

Chai Hao didn't come back last night. Wang Xin thought he was locked out again. After calling him, he found out that the operation of transplanting bullets required a lot of procedures. It was troublesome to go back and forth, so Chai Hao made do with it in the hospital. Stay.

"Don't forget the two meals you owe me. When I'm discharged from the hospital, I will make sure you are destitute."

Wang Xin looked at Chai Hao and sent another text message, and in his mind, he looked mean when he typed these words.

The nature of the work of a sea explorer is quite special. The time for each sea exploration is uncertain and may be long or short. However, according to the companions in the special training team, the first time a novice explores the sea is basically within seven days, not too long.

"Seven days..." Wang Xin estimated the time. By the time he came back, Chai Hao would have been discharged from the hospital.

Before going out, Dai Xingyue gave him a jade talisman and told him that it had been blessed with witchcraft and could turn evil into good.

Wang Xin thanked him profusely and then left the villa.

Half an hour later, he appeared in the locker room of the base's slow-upgrade cabin as requested. Most of the team members were there, gearing up and feeling very novel about their first expedition into the sea.

Each explorer has a customized cod skin diving suit. This kind of suit fits the skin, has excellent toughness, and has outstanding pressure resistance. The mask contains a micro-oxygen device to keep breathing smooth at all times.

After changing clothes, everyone followed the trainer to the platform of the slow ascent cabin.

The leader blew the whistle and focused everyone's attention on him: "Everyone is here, stand at attention~"

"Everyone, listen to me. It's your first time exploring the sea. I know you are all excited, but you must follow the instructions. I will tell you in the earphones where you can and cannot go."

"Also, everyone must tie your safety buckles to the cables. You are not allowed to untie them without my order. You are no longer kindergarten children. Can you understand what I say?"

"Can~", "Can~"...

Everyone was amused by the uneven use of the word "neng". The team leader also wanted to laugh, but was forced to hold it back.

"Okay, one minute to form the team."

For a moment, Wang Xin felt as if he had returned to his student days.

After gathering, all the sea explorers lined up neatly and walked to the slowly rising platform. They were not the only ones participating in the expedition to the ruins. After the people in front left, they boarded the speeding car that had been waiting for a long time.

The capsule car moved forward rapidly, leaving two marks on the bottom beach.

Half an hour later, they arrived at their destination, the ruins of the city. Wang Xin recalled the map Qin Ruyi gave him and discovered that their trajectory was actually a half-circle around the edge of the base.

After the leader got off the bus, he counted the number of people again and then signaled everyone through the headset to set off.

Everyone obeyed the command and poured into the sea like dumplings.

The sea seemed calm, but in reality there was an undercurrent. At the moment when they actually entered the sea, the explorers realized how insignificant human beings are. They were like leaves, being played with by the sea water wantonly. Only then did they understand why the team leader asked everyone to fasten their safety buckles.

Contrary to imagination, the deep sea water does not see sunlight all year round and is freezing cold. Fortunately, I had done enough warm-up exercises before setting off to avoid cramps.

This place is no longer within the lighting range of the base, but through the searchlight above the head, the nearby environment can still be seen clearly.

The sight in front of me was too shocking. Most of the ruins had been covered by sand, leaving only some broken walls with sharp corners exposed. There were traces of corrosion from time everywhere, and all metal structures were rusty.

You can feel that this was once an extremely glorious city. Although most of the buildings have been damaged, some style characteristics can still be seen.

The engineers at the deep-sea base have designed an extremely perfect exploration mechanism specifically for cleaning work. This mechanism is composed of tens of thousands of arm-thick cables, densely packed and crisscrossed.

Every time four cables intersect, a unit is formed, and countless units form a surface. At first glance, it looks like a net draped over the ruins.

The explorers recalled the key points emphasized by the instructor during training and connected the safety buckles on their bodies to the cables hanging from their heads. This not only ensured the safety of the explorers, but also allowed them to move quickly along the cables during operations.

There is a nylon bag above everyone's head, which contains hooks, brushes, water-powered spray guns, etc. All kinds of tools are readily available and within reach. Their job is to use these tools to sift out debris among the ruins. Something of value.

The team leader gave the order and everyone started to get busy.

Wang Xin was not impatient. He observed it carefully for a while. From the style point of view, this should be a modern city.

But how can modern cities be submerged by sea water?

As far as the eye can see, there are traces of time everywhere. Except for some metals that still retain their original appearance, all other building materials have basically been eroded by the sea water and are quite fragile.

With a slight touch, it turned into powder, and the dust that was raised followed the undercurrent of the sea floor and instantly submerged the entire team.

It can be inferred from this that the city has been sealed for a long time.

Could it be that there are loopholes in historical records and that there once was an era of ultra-modern technology?

After exploring for a long time, Wang Xin found nothing.

The other team members were the same, rummaging through the ruins, but almost never found anything.

After asking, I learned that this area had been explored by the advance team using detectors, but there was a possibility of omissions. The first day was just to familiarize themselves with the environment, so the requirements for them were not high.

Soon, two days passed, and everyone's hands were still empty.

Whenever night comes, everyone will stay overnight at the nearest micro-supply station to replenish their physical strength as agreed.

On the third day, a brave team member secretly lowered the height of the cable after searching to no avail, found a semi-open building, and got into it.

Seeing his lack of movement, the surrounding teammates quickly reported the situation to the team leader. After the team leader rushed over, he didn't say anything, but just waited in place.

After a while, the team member finally came out, with a square metal box in his arms.

The box was only the size of a fist, surrounded by unknown gems and surrounded by densely packed strange words, which looked quite mysterious.

"Very good, this is the original silver bullet."

When the team leader saw this, instead of blaming him, he gave him a thumbs up. Everyone learned from the headphones that the elastic mithril was extracted from this metal box.

When everyone heard it, they immediately became interested, and they all gathered around and circulated it to each other.

With this precedent, everyone began to lower their dive height and get into the buildings with gaps to search carefully.

This area is far away from the deep-sea base and belongs to the second stage of the ten stages of the "Ruins Exploration Plan".

However, the team leader still reminded that although these buildings have been very loose due to weathering and are about to mix with the sand, even if they collapse, they will not be fatal, but it is still better to be careful.

Wang Xin also joined in, lengthened the cable, and dived into the ruins.

"Um?"

After swimming for a while, he came to a dome building and suddenly felt that there seemed to be an extremely weak life wave in front of him!
