Deep Sea Survival: Start a Submarine

Deep Sea Survival: Opening a Submarine Chapter 88 The mysterious figure in the middle of the night

in the dark.

The ugly grey algae creepers, like hungry ghosts crawling out of the abyss of hell, saw delicacies that exuded intoxicating fragrance.

Crazy, greedy, fearless,

Towards the only light source in the darkness, it whistled and rushed away.

The bloated bodies were extremely fast, and under the searchlight, they broke through the water and turned into black shadows.

While advancing, there was also a piercing screeching sound.

The sound penetrated the seawater, went straight to the surface of the submarine, and then echoed in the cabin, making the scalp tingling.

Meng Lei was driving the submarine calmly, and while diving, he quickly retreated.

Constantly distanced from the crawler group above,

In order to ensure that several people in the artillery control room can have enough shooting range and space for continuous firepower output.

And Simon and the others did not live up to Meng Lei's expectations.

The electromagnetic turret and the machine gun turret roared wildly, making a shocking hum.

A series of bullets and artillery shells wrapped in bubbles, under the reflection of the searchlight on the top of the submarine, whistled vertically and horizontally, interweaving into a dense and bright firepower network.

The first few crawlers rushed into the fire coverage area,

As soon as he appeared, he was immediately cut off by the dense rain of bullets and shot and killed on the spot!

I have to say that Hawke's shooting level is indeed incomparably exquisite.

In the past, when Meng Lei and Huo Ye were controlling the turret, they simply used powerful firepower output to suppress the sea monsters.

Unlike Hawke,

Most of his shooting methods are burst shots, and he will never waste any shells easily.

And the prediction of the sea monster's actions is also quite accurate.

Although it is not as exaggerated as the bullet,

But in the first round of salvos, half of the six creepers killed by the crowd were killed by Hawke alone!

It is enough to see that this guy's artillery manipulation skills are superb!

"Old Huo! Nice work!"

Through the periscope, Huo Ye clearly saw the scene of Hawke killing the creeper with ease, and he couldn't help exclaiming.

"Hans really doesn't have any water in your evaluation. Your hand in the electromagnetic gun is really amazing!"

Hearing this, Hawke didn't have much reaction.

Still sticking his head to the periscope, and constantly shooting at the creepers wandering around,

At the same time, Dan Dan said:

"My surname is not Huo, my surname is Barham."

Hearing this, Huo Ye scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile:

"Ahaha, isn't it? I still think we are the main family..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Lei's filial piety came from the earphones:

"At ten o'clock diagonally above and two o'clock in the back, there are nearly twenty creepers in two groups, ready to shoot!"

"Laser preparation, there are creepers coming from below!"

Hearing this, everyone immediately turned their guns and shot the searchlight in the direction indicated by Meng Lei.

When the snow-white beams of light tear apart the darkness,

In the darkness, I saw a large dense shadow flashing past my eyes.

Hawke and Huo Ye controlled the electromagnetic turret and the machine gun turret by the other, and immediately pressed the firing button without hesitation,

Several long flames swept away in the darkness.

Large tracts of blood stains spread out, infecting the surrounding seawater into a scarlet!

Simon, who stayed by the laser fort, was always paying close attention to the environment at the bottom of the submarine.

After seeing a creeper going around the sea below, trying to attack from the bottom.

Simon's rough face, full of beards, suddenly showed a hideous smile.

"Die!

Dirty and ugly reptiles, go to **** for Lao Tzu! "

With a hysterical roar, a dazzling three-pronged laser shot out.

This kind of laser weapon without any delay, although it cannot achieve continuous shooting, the hit rate is ridiculously high.

At the moment of shooting, the crawler sea monsters that are directly exposed to the muzzle are easily pierced, leaving only a black and charred hole on the edge, and any organs and bones are completely melted away!

However, although several people were in full swing, a large number of crawler corpses were left nearby.

But the number of these monsters is simply too many.

There are only two ship-borne turrets on the top of the submarine, and it is impossible to intercept all the sea monsters at the same time.

In the end, it was inevitable that nearly ten sea monsters broke through the fire blockade of Hawke and lay on the submarine shell of the Sea Locust.

Then, he opened his **** mouth full of sharp teeth and began to devour the hull frantically.

"Kang-kang-kang!"

"Zi La..."

…

Sitting in the command room of the bridge, Meng Lei could clearly hear the sound of scratching from above his head and the sound of rubbing against the metal.

The sound was terribly harsh,

In this dark deep-sea environment, one can't help but feel numb on the scalp.

However,

Meng Lei did not show any panicked expression, and his expression was extremely calm.

He raised his arm slightly and placed it next to the center console, on an apparently newly installed precision instrument.

On the upper part of the instrument, there is a red button.

In the dim cabin, that smear of scarlet was extremely striking, as if blood was dripping outward.

Meng Lei put his palm on it, his eyes fixed on the sonar map, the abnormal spots that swam around the submarine.

a moment,

When most of the abnormal points are all close to the submarine hull.

In the headphones, Huo Ye and Hawke's shouts came at the same time.

"Commander, those monsters ran into the blind spot and can't see them anymore, drive the boat and throw them away!"

"Captain, the crawler is stuck on the boat, immediately dive down urgently!"

Hearing this, Meng Lei smiled slightly.

But he did not follow Hawke's reminder to control the submarine to sink.

The palm resting on the red button exerted a little force and pressed it lightly.

next moment.

A powerful current surged out from around the electromagnetic coil device on the top of the submarine!

The blue-white electric light flashed for a moment,

Then it was covered on the surface of the submarine shell, as if a protective film was formed, and the whole submarine shook slightly.

Although only for a moment.

But Huo Ye and Hawke looked through the periscope, but they could clearly see the scene of a powerful current bursting into the sea water.

Even though that scene was short-lived, it was incomparably gorgeous!

time,

The crawlers lying on the submarine frantically gnawed at the shell, as if they were suffering from epilepsy, and immediately twitched.

The bloated and ugly body began to spasm uncontrollably, stretching to a state of extreme distortion.

Then, the body begins to become rigid.

The gnawing action stopped, and the harsh scratching sound also disappeared.

Everything quieted down.

Seeing this scene, Hawke, who was taciturn, suddenly showed a surprise on his unchanging expression.

"Electromagnetic coils?! There are electromagnetic coils installed on this ship?"

Simon's periscope field of view was below the submarine, so he didn't see the current bloom just now.

Hearing Hawke's whispers in the earphones, Simon was also surprised:

"Electromagnetic coil, this kind of device is not cheap!

Unexpectedly, the equipment on this first-generation Typhon boat is quite complete! "

Solenoid coils are indeed a little pricey.

Nearly one-third of the 40,000 yuan spent on refitting the submarine was swallowed up by this thing.

However, the effect is quite significant.

Nearly a dozen crawlers who used the shell of the Sea Locust as a molar stick were all corpses under the electric shock treatment.

Although not dead, but temporarily paralyzed.

At least for a short period of time, it is definitely impossible to move freely.

One hit,

At the moment, Meng Lei drove the submarine to dive very decisively.

Quickly distanced himself from those crawlers who were stiff, floating in the sea and twitching, without any resistance.

"Sun and Moon"

Then he shouted into the earphone:

"Immediately fire to clear out the remaining enemies! Brothers, the five thousand marks will be in hand soon!"

Don't wait for Meng Lei to speak.

Hawke, who is experienced in combat, pressed the launch button of the electromagnetic cannon the first time the creeper was exposed to the firing range.

The thick gun barrel rumbled, and lethal murderous intent erupted continuously!

The hit rate of moving targets is around 70 to 80 percent, so it is not a problem to hit such fixed targets.

Even Huo Ye howled excitedly, and fired wildly at the corpse creepers.

Soon, with the cooperation of the two.

Seven or eight crawlers drink their hatred one after another, and their corpses are all beaten to pieces.

At this time, the few surviving crawlers in the group seemed to realize that the situation was not good.

This small, but well-armed iron lump seems not as easy to bully as others, and it is a tough bone.

As a result, the remaining crawlers immediately turned around and retreated desperately towards the rock dome at the top of the cavity.

Upon seeing this, Hawke immediately reminded:

"Captain, these crawlers are going to run, rush up and kill them all!

Otherwise, the completion of the task will be greatly reduced! "

"Um!"

Meng Lei gave a deep response, and then controlled the submarine to chase after him.

for a while,

The pump power of the ballast tank is running to the limit!

A large amount of seawater is expelled and buoyancy comes into play.

The Sea Locust is like a balloon mixed with hydrogen gas, soaring up quickly, chasing the fleeing creepers.

In fact, without Hawke's reminder, Meng Lei didn't plan to let these few crawlers flee in a hurry.

Because the task introduction has already said clearly,

Ask the executor to kill all the sea monsters, not even the larvae.

This is enough to prove that the ultimate purpose of this mission is to kill them all!

To be on the safe side, Meng Lei will naturally follow the requirements of the mission.

But having said that, it was the first time he had seen a situation where the alien sea monster would take the initiative to flee in so many days.

Obviously,

These terrifying and ugly guys do not only have the instinct of killing and predation, but also have a certain degree of wisdom.

At the very least, the basic sense of crisis is still there.

Between chasing and escaping, before the Sea Locust was about to reach the top,

The last few creepers were finally wiped out.

At this time, the Sea Locust was only thirty or forty meters away from the rock formation at the top of the cavity.

With the light of the searchlight, Meng Lei could faintly see,

On the majestic rock wall above the head, there are many holes of different sizes, like honeycombs.

It was pitch black inside, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

Even the sonar detection system, because of the complex environment, cannot present a too detailed picture.

This annihilated crawler group apparently emerged from here.

Meng Lei couldn't help but feel curious,

Where are these dense holes connected?

In this regard, Simon explained while putting on a diving suit:

"These holes are originally existing, and the structure inside is complex, and it is easy to get lost.

In order to investigate the environment and ecological structure, the Alliance has issued many bounties,

But in the end, due to the limited oxygen content of the diving suit, only a map of the cave structure of about two kilometers was drawn, and the investigation was forced to stop.

As for where these caves ultimately lead, no one knows yet. "

Hearing this, Meng Lei's curiosity couldn't help but get heavier.

But he also knows that no matter how curious he is, he can only hold it in his heart.

In the ocean cave where the alliance is helpless, what can he do as an alien who has just arrived here?

Besides, now is not the time for curiosity.

If the corpses of those creepers outside were not picked up, they would all sink into the trench.

It's all money!

There are more than 20 crawlers, and at least they can be sold for 2,000 yuan, which is worth nearly half of the quest bounty!

now,

Huo Ye, Simon and Hawke, including Xu Hui and Jia Quan who were on the boat.

Several people put on their diving suits, and one person got out of the cabin with a hand-held propeller.

At this time,

Hans, who was actively preparing for the battle in the electrical room and was always ready for repairs, came to the command room.

Watching Meng Lei connect the handheld tablet to the center console, and then call up the battle image captured by the external camera of the submarine and upload it to the mission system.

Hans said:

"Captain, the difficulty of this clean-up task has exceeded the estimated level and can fully meet the minimum B-level standard.

Therefore, when submitting a task, you can apply to the alliance to increase the reward amount.

Don't forget this. "

Worried about Meng Lei's first assignment, he didn't know the details.

Hans hurried over deliberately to remind Meng Lei.

Meng Lei suddenly nodded and expressed his gratitude.

Immediately and curiously, he asked:

"With these 20 or 30 sea monster encounters, can the difficulty reach rank B?

Why do I feel so relaxed? "

It's not that he is arrogant, but that he really feels that way.

From the outbreak to the end of the entire battle, it took no more than five minutes in total.

Before even a single ammo box was filled, dozens of crawlers were all killed.

It might be an exaggeration to say it's effortless, but it's not difficult at all.

If this level of tasks can reach the B-level level.

As a full-time bounty hunter, the money seems to be pretty fast.

"This number of sea monsters is not too small!"

Hearing this, Hans couldn't help but explain with a smile:

"Under normal circumstances, the number of sea monsters should be kept below 20 for tasks of C-level difficulty.

The reason why we can easily eliminate all the sea monsters, the key is that the electromagnetic coil has played a huge role. "

After a pause, he looked at Meng Lei with a little doubt in his eyes.

Hans continued:

"For any submarine, once it is approached by a sea monster, it is extremely deadly!

Due to the limitation of the firing range of the ship-borne weapons, the monsters lying on the surface of the hull could not be removed.

At this time, the security officer needs to be out of the cabin to fight.

If the number of sea monsters outside the cabin is small, it may not be too dangerous.

And once you are approached by a large number of sea monsters, the possibility of being able to get out of the cabin after getting out of the cabin is very slim.

But it's not enough to clean up without the cabin, because the fangs and sharp teeth of these sea monsters will quickly tear the hull of the submarine.

By then, the trouble will be even greater!

So, thanks to the electromagnetic coil this time, we can complete the task so easily and smoothly.

Otherwise, this number of sea monsters is really tricky! "

Hearing this, Meng Lei suddenly nodded.

It seems that the decision to install an electromagnetic coil was quite correct.

If you give up the equipment transformation in this area in order to have the remaining 10,000 yuan, you may be at a disadvantage this time, and you will suffer a big loss!

Thinking of this, Meng Lei couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Mizzi uploaded the battle pictures captured by the submarine and the data records of the sonar system to the mission system of the handheld tablet.

Then, in the task feedback, he described the situation at that time in detail and explained the details carefully.

Finally, lightly press the submit key.

The first bounty mission of the Sea Locust was completed.

However, after the task is submitted, the alliance still needs to review it, and it is impossible to give a conclusion in time.

Meng Lei was not in a hurry.

Taking advantage of this time, I drove the submarine around for a while.

Let Simon and the others salvage as much as possible the crawler corpses left in the nearby waters, and then throw them into the ballast tank.

However, as the battle time has passed for too long.

Many of the corpses of the creepers were carried away by the current, and some of them sank into the trenches at the bottom of the cavity.

As a result of the final statistics, less than fifteen corpses were recovered.

After all, it can be sold for about 1,500 marks, which can be regarded as an additional gain.

When Simon and the others returned to the cabin, the Sea Locust continued to set sail.

At this time, the alliance also came to a conclusion on the task review.

According to the evidence provided by the battle video and the statistics of abnormal points of the sonar system, the alliance rated this hunting mission with an estimated difficulty of C-level as a B-level.

The original bounty of 5,000 marks has also been increased to 6,500 marks.

Counting the income from the crawler's corpse, Meng Lei earned nearly 8,000 yuan from this reward task alone!

in addition,

After completing the task, the alliance also awarded 25 reputation points.

Along with the 6,500 marks, it was simultaneously credited to Meng Lei's personal account.

It's easy, eight thousand to get it.

At this moment, looking at the balance and reputation of his personal account, Meng Lei's mood is extremely wonderful.

Hans and Charlie looked at Meng Lei with a hint of envy.

Only twelve hours after they set off from Xier City, the income from completing a bounty task is higher than their one-month commission.

That's why there are tons of people who would rather take the risk and go out to sea to become bounty hunters.

Risk and return are directly proportional.

Again,

Crisis and opportunity coexist, and there will never be a free lunch.

In fact, crew members like Hans also have a dream of a bounty hunter.

The reason why he is willing to take risks and go to sea with a boat is also because the commission for going to sea is several times higher than that of work in the city!

Only go out to sea with a boat,

They have the opportunity to save enough money to buy a submarine of their own.

if not,

Even if you work part-time in the city for half your life, you may not be able to save so much money.

The point is that it is almost impossible for ordinary submarines freshly baked from shipyards, that is, bare boats to perform some high-yield missions.

Before setting out to the deep sea, it must go through a series of upgrades and transformations.

This again is quite a huge expense.

so,

These various messy thresholds virtually cut off most people's bounty dreams.

I can only keep my head down and watch others make money, hoping that one day I can realize my dream.

Ten p.m.

After the Sea Locust left the small cavity sea area, it continued to move towards the melting rock stronghold.

The sea area where the submarine is currently located is still nearly 70 kilometers away from the coordinate point where the Xunmenglong lair mission is located.

Judging from the normal speed, it would have to run for at least five or six hours.

Meng Lei decided to leave a duty officer to watch the night in the bridge command room and let the others rest first.

When the boat arrives, it will stop nearby.

The task is not in a hurry, and after a good rest, you can have sufficient physical and mental work.

As for today's night watchman, Jia Quan will be the first for the time being.

After the arrangements were made, everyone dispersed and went back to their respective crew rooms to sleep.

Meng Lei also came to the captain's room.

Grab a magazine about the marine environment and fill up your knowledge base before going to sleep.

Until the deep tiredness hits,

Before he knew it, he fell asleep leaning on the soft pillow.

…

Two in the morning.

In the cabin in energy-saving mode, there is darkness everywhere.

Dandan's indicator lights are hung on the metal bulkheads on both sides of the deck, which can only play a guiding role, and cannot provide sufficient lighting at all.

But in the dead of night like this, the pale and dazzling incandescent lamps are obviously unnecessary.

All fell into deep sleep,

In that bizarre dream world, experience what will happen in your dreams.

The whole world fell into absolute silence,

There was only the humming of the engine as evidence that the world still existed.

Jia Quan stayed in the command room alone, holding a coffee cup in his hand, and looked at the sonar display boredly.

At the beginning, his waist was quite straight.

Determined to become a qualified night watchman to ensure the safety of submarine sailing at night.

But as time passed, sleepiness struck.

Coupled with the eternal dark environment around, people feel inexplicably boring and boring, which greatly affects the mental state.

Gradually, his sitting posture turned to the pursuit of comfort.

Sitting crookedly on the leather-stitched seat, with Erlang's legs crossed, he picked up an Alien magazine to pass the boring time.

but,

From time to time, his eyes would still look at the sonar display and the external environment of the submarine under the projection screen in front of him.

Make sure the sub doesn't hit a wall.

At about half past two, perhaps because I drank too much coffee, a sudden burst of urination hit me.

Jia Quan put down the magazine in his hand, stood up and shivered.

After looking down at the sonar map and making sure that there are no obstacles ahead, he turned around and walked out of the command room, climbed the ladder through the nearby shaft, and came to the living area on the second floor of the submarine, ready to go to the bathroom to release water.

The red indicator light emits a faint light in the dark.

The surrounding environment is very similar to the lake, and nothing can be seen clearly.

However, after staying on the ship for so long, Jia Quan is still very familiar with the internal environment of the submarine.

Even if there is not enough light, he can touch the position of the bathroom.

Therefore, he did not turn on the lighting equipment, and walked towards the bathroom humming a little song.

But when he just turned around the corridor outside the cafeteria,

In the dead silence in the distance, there was a faint rustling sound.

The sound was very slight, but in this quiet environment, it was particularly noticeable.

Jia Quan frowned immediately.

At this point in time, everyone should be sleeping in the crew room. Why would anyone be active in the public area?

The point is, why didn't the man turn on the lights?

It's pitch black, can't see anything?

With doubts, Jia Quan asked in a low voice in the direction of the sound:

"Who's there?"

Immediately, the rustling sound stopped abruptly.

It was like a thief who was stealing, suddenly discovered by the owner, and immediately stopped the movement of his hand.

The whole world fell silent again, as if nothing had happened.

"Did I hear it wrong?"

Jia Quan scratched his head in confusion, feeling very puzzled.

His eyes turned to the place where the voice came from.

There, it appears to be the direction of the reactor room.

The darkness is too dense, and the corridors tens of meters long cannot see the scene at the end at all.

"It's so late, who will run to the reactor room? I must have heard it wrong!"

I thought so in my heart,

However, driven by curiosity, Jia Quan walked some distance there.

As we approached, the vision gradually became clearer.

Jia Quan's steps were not very fast, but suddenly stopped.

he sees.

Outside the hatch of the reactor room, where the diving suit cabinet stood.

In the dark, there seems to be a person standing!

The man's posture was very strange. He bent over and hunched his back, as if he was fiddling with something, but was suddenly interrupted, so the whole person maintained the original posture and stood motionless.

Jia Quan couldn't help but feel chills at this strange scene.

In the middle of the night, a person stood alone in an empty corridor, surrounded by silence, facing a blurry figure in the darkness in the distance.

In this kind of environment, whoever changed it would have to be terrified.

Fortunately, Jia Quan's nerves are relatively large.

In addition to the time of day today, the crew on the ship are also familiar with each other.

Therefore, after the momentary absence, there is no particularly fearful emotion.

He was just extremely curious.

Who is the other party?

What are you doing outside the reactor room so late?

"Who are you? You don't sleep at night~www.wuxiahere.com~ Why are you here?"

While asking, Jia Quan stepped forward.

But at this moment, the figure on the opposite side saw Jia Quan walking towards him step by step, as if he didn't want to be seen by others.

When Jia Quan was less than twenty meters away from him, he suddenly ran away.

He was so fast that he didn't give Jia Quan time to react.

With a flick of the figure, he immediately disappeared into a passage next to him.

In the darkness, only the sound of chaotic footsteps was left, and they quickly left in the distance.

It was only at this time that Jia Quan finally realized that something was wrong, he hurriedly followed, and asked loudly:

"Who the **** are you?! Stop! Don't run!"

While speaking, the other party had already run to a nearby shaft passage, climbed up the escalator three or two times, opened the hatch, and rushed into the first floor area.

Jia Quan was chasing after him, and kept yelling at the same time.

"Damn, stop!"

"Why are you sneaking around there, don't run!"

But the other party was obviously guilty of being a thief, and he didn't listen to him at all, and the girl ran wild without looking back.

When Jia Quan followed the man to the first floor area, he saw a dark shadow passing by at the location of another shaft passage.

The other party actually passed through another shaft and returned to the second floor area.

Jia Quan followed in exasperation, circled around and returned to the second floor.

But at this time, the footsteps had disappeared.

In the empty and silent corridor, the shadow of the man was no longer visible.

Only Jia Quan was left standing there.

It seems that everything that just happened is just an illusion...+Bookmark+
