Deep Sea Survival: Start a Submarine (Deep Ocean Survival: A Submarine From The Start)

Chapter 110: A precursor to a tidal eruption in space

, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Deep Sea Survival: Start a Submarine!

The content of the message Roger sent was very simple, only a few words.

Without too much nonsense, he was concise and asked about Meng Lei's current progress.

More than three hours have passed since accepting the alliance's request.

It is reasonable for Roger to ask about the situation with some worry.

Meng Lei glanced at the time when the text message was sent. It was more than half an hour ago, and he couldn't help chuckling. This Roger was quite able to keep his composure.

Flicking his fingers across the screen, Meng Lei simply replied a few words.

"Mission completed, returning home."

Gently click the send button, a swoosh flashed, and the text message appeared after a period of time.

The immediacy of underwater long-distance wireless communication is very poor, and instant synchronization cannot be achieved.

The more complex and bulky the information content, the more serious the delay is.

Simple text messages are still like this, not to mention video communications, and they can get stuck in doubt about life.

Therefore, in the ocean-going activities after leaving the gathering place, generally no one will use video chat to communicate.

The transmission of video data is also affected by network delays and becomes extremely slow.

While waiting for Roger's reply, Meng Lei had already sent the captured battle video to the other party.

The video content begins with the battle between the Sea Locust and the Luke and Colin, and lasts for nearly half an hour until the shaft entrance of the Rongyan outpost is completely destroyed.

Although the entire video picture is very dim, it is almost impossible to see the clear fighting situation.

However, with the combat coordinates and the sonar feedback data at that time as proof, the completion of the mission can also be determined from the side.

After a long time, Roger sent a message.

"You're telling the truth?! The shaft entrance to the Molten Rock Outpost has been destroyed?!"

It could be seen from Roger's tone that Roger felt very inconceivable about the efficiency of Meng Lei and his party.

Meng Lei lit a cigarette, and half-laid on the leather seat in the command room with Erlang's legs crossed, with a light smile on his face, he replied:

"The video has been sent to you, and you will see it later."

This time, Roger's reply arrived quickly.

"Received, I will immediately arrange for technical personnel to analyze and collect evidence, and I will notify you as soon as possible with the results!"

Not long after the text came, Roger sent another.

"Captain Meng, my friend, you are truly a man of miracles, and you surprise me again! Without your help, we might still be in the dark about this tragedy at Rongyan Outpost. , not to mention bringing the culprits behind the scenes to justice! Thank you so much!"

In the smog, Meng Lei silently gave Versailles a hand and replied simply:

"It's just a hands-on effort."

Roger was obviously very excited at this time, but he seemed to be busy and didn't have much time to communicate with Meng Lei.

It came back again:

"After completing the task, go back to the city as soon as possible. I look forward to meeting you next time. I promise that your payment will be paid together after the confirmation of the technical department. Be careful on the road."

After that, there was no movement from Roger's side.

Meng Lei put away the tablet, stood up from the chair and stretched.

For a while, I just felt refreshed.

After three days at sea, I made two or three million, which is only a dominant gain.

The prestige of the alliance is respected, and you can buy any goods at a 30% discount. These two hidden gains are no less valuable than those materials and eggs that were prostituted.

Chen Yu still doesn't know about this.

He was looking forward to seeing the expression on Chen Yu's face when he heard the news.

That picture is interesting to think about.

The time soon came to twelve o'clock in the evening. Meng Lei looked at his watch and suddenly felt an unbearable hunger in his stomach.

It was at this time that he suddenly remembered that up to now, everyone has been neglecting to eat dinner.

The high-intensity battles and rushing on the road made people completely forget about eating.

Now, as soon as he is free, his stomach begins to protest.

Meng Lei shook his head and smiled bitterly.

I thought that after the seven-day novice trial, my work, rest and diet would return to normal.

Now it seems that it is a bit too difficult to live a normal life in the deep sea where the sea level is nearly 3,000 meters below the sea level.

Of course, if you are willing to live a stable life in the gathering place,

Apart from not seeing the starry sky, everything is still not much different from being on land.

After the fleet was stopped, Meng Lei concentrated everyone on the Sea Locust and had a simple dinner.

During the banquet, everyone discussed the duty on duty at night.

Meng Lei finally decided that the fleet would temporarily stay in place for the night and not hurry up.

Now they are not many people, and they can't even keep at least two people in each boat.

Plus, today has experienced another life-and-death crisis, and everyone is exhausted.

Hurrying in this state is prone to problems.

Therefore, Meng Lei asked Simon and the others to turn off the engines of the three submarines they picked up and hover on the seabed.

Then everyone concentrated on the sea locust to rest, so as to avoid accidents at night and unable to do timely rescue.

In addition, the Sea Locust also turned on the energy-saving mode, kept the sonar silent, and turned off all external lights.

In this way, the four submarines are like four icy reefs, quietly sinking to the bottom of the sea, which can avoid being noticed by most creatures.

However, there are still staff on duty at night.

This task was temporarily handed over to Xu Hui. Due to the injury, most of the usual work does not need him to bear the burden, and there is a lot of time to rest during the day.

The night watchman does not require too much physical labor, and it is more suitable for him to be the night watchman.

After a hurried supper, everyone adjusted the submarine and immediately returned to the crew room and fell asleep.

As soon as Meng Lei touched the bed and put on clean pajamas, he had not yet read two pages of the Encyclopedia of Alien Plants.

Thick tiredness struck, and the upper and lower eyelids began to fight uncontrollably.

He dragged his tired body out of bed, turned off the light in the captain's room, and was ready to go back to bed.

At this time, in the extremely deadly darkness, a little red light seemed to flash away.

At first Meng Lei thought it was his hallucination, because he was too tired, causing problems with his optic nerve.

But when he just climbed onto the bed, the quilt was not covered.

The faint red light lit up again, and it was fleeting.

Meng Lei saw it clearly this time. He found that the red light was projected from the porthole on the bulkhead of the captain's cabin. It was faint but obvious.

"There's something outside the boat?!"

This thought quickly flashed through Meng Lei's mind.

He immediately realized that the red glow he saw just now was not his hallucination, but that something really swam through the window.

However, the thing did not touch the bulkhead, and wandered silently in the darkness.

Meng Lei suddenly woke up, immediately got up and touched the edge of the porthole, subconsciously looking out of the circular glass hole.

Outside the window, it was a dark void of deep, dead silence, and nothing could be seen.

The boundless darkness was as deep as ink, completely covering the entire captain's room, revealing a suffocating panic and unease.

The red glow did not appear, and everything was quiet.

Meng Lei stared for a moment, but found nothing, but the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

He immediately prepared to go to the bridge command room and asked Xu Hui to turn on the sonar and probe the nearby sea area to see if there was anything unusual.

But at the moment when his sight was withdrawn from the porthole, he suddenly saw a huge red sphere suddenly appeared in the dark depths in the distance!

That moment gave him the feeling,

It was like a giant hidden in the darkness, opened his eyes inadvertently, and stared at him coldly!

Just in the dark place, motionless, quietly looking at him!

Meng Lei suddenly felt a tingling in his scalp, and subconsciously stepped back.

He couldn't imagine what kind of creature it was that could have such a shocking huge eye.

Based on his current knowledge of the alien sea monsters, there are only Morocco, the abyss banshee, and the Queen of the Hammerhead, and it is estimated that they can have such a huge size.

But these kinds of monsters don't seem to have organs like eyes.

At least the Abyss Banshee and the Hammerhead Demon Queen, these two monsters have absolutely no eyes.

So what is the red glowing sphere that appears outside the window at the moment? !

The point is, when the two looked at each other, they didn't even give a hint.

Obviously what I saw was not the body of this thing!

Meng Lei felt extremely terrified for a while. The combination of the scene in front of him and the surrounding environment made him very uneasy.

At the same time, a mysterious sound entered the eardrum from outside the boat.

The sound was very strange, not particularly loud, but it could easily penetrate the bulkhead and be clearly captured by people.

Because it is different from any sound source, it maintains a high degree of specificity.

It's like some kind of mysterious electric current, with some distortion. It may be more appropriate to say that it is static noise.

When this voice sounded, strange things happened.

Meng Lei actually couldn't feel any horror and unease anymore. All kinds of negative emotions only lasted for a short second in his mind and consciousness, and then dissipated in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, his mood suddenly became happy.

That kind of joy is full of excitement, from physical to psychological extreme joy, even more intense than the excitement brought by "dream come true"!

In a trance, the red sphere outside the window no longer seemed so scary, and became intoxicating and fascinating.

And the environment outside the window surrounded by endless darkness has gradually become colorful.

The surrounding environment and sea water are no longer incomparably deep black, and there are dark tones of light such as dark green and dark blue in the blur.

And there is a faint shadow, like an abnormal hallucination after eating poisonous mushrooms.

Only in the very center of the line of sight, that dazzling scarlet, exudes an eternal clear shimmer.

It seems to have a strange magic power that firmly attracts Meng Lei's mind.

Meng Lei suddenly felt that everything in this world was no longer important.

What **** travels, survives, finds a way home, all obsessions and desires are completely dissipated, and there is no meaning.

He slowly raised his steps like a walking corpse and came to the edge of the porthole.

His palms lightly touched the cold glass, and his delicate face was slightly green, and hung with deep obsession and intoxication.

Meng Lei's eyes were blurred, and he put his entire face on the glass surface of the porthole.

At this moment, he just wanted to quietly look at the red glowing sphere, indulge in that boundless joy forever, and never wake up again.

Forever, forever sinking down.

...

When Meng Lei woke up again, it was already more than eight o'clock the next morning.

The soreness all over his body, accompanied by the tight suffocation, and the coldness of the wet body, became Meng Lei's first feeling after regaining consciousness.

He opened his eyes blankly, the dazzling white light stimulated the pupils to shrink sharply, and there were bursts of tingling pain in his eyes.

At this moment, Huo Ye's anxious and happy voice sounded in his ears.

"Commander wakes up, Commander wakes up, Gina, Doctor Gina, come on!"

Immediately afterwards, Jia Quan also shouted loudly:

"Commander, you finally woke up, do you feel any discomfort?! Do you still remember who I am?"

Meng Lei struggled to get up, only to feel the constant pain in his brain.

He gasped and adjusted for a long time before finally opening his eyes.

However, he found that he was tied to the ship in the captain's room by Wu Hua Da, the straight captain's uniform was clinging to his body wetly, and the whole person was in a mess.

"This... what's going on?! Why did you tie me up?! What happened?!"

Meng Lei was at a loss for a while, completely confused about the situation.

How can I wake up in a good night and be **** like a criminal?

"Commander, you don't remember what happened last night at all?"

Huo Ye got closer to Meng Lei, his face was a little dignified, and there was a trace of fear.

From his anxious eyes, Meng Lei could tell that he must have experienced something terrible last night.

Meng Lei recalled carefully, trying to remember everything that happened in these few hours.

However, his memory seemed to stop when he got out of bed and turned off the light.

The things further back are completely unimpressive.

And, whenever he tried his best to dig out that hidden memory in the depths of his mind.

A severe tingling sensation would hit him, making him feel the pain.

After a while, Meng Lei shook his head with a pale face, a look of pain on his face, and said solemnly:

"I don't remember, I don't remember it at all. It seems that I saw something strange, and I don't know it later."

Hearing this, Huo Ye and Jia Quan looked at each other, nodded affirmatively, and said in unison:

"Observer!"

"It's really an observer!"

Hearing this, Meng Lei's doubts deepened.

"What observer, what the **** is going on?"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a sudden sound of hasty footsteps outside the door, and the voices of Simon and Hans and others could be vaguely heard talking.

Immediately afterwards, the visitor bell in the captain's room rang.

Huo Ye turned to open the door, and Gina and Simon rushed in noisily.

As soon as they entered the door, everyone was chattering and asking questions.

"Captain, are you all right? You scared me to death last night!"

"It's good to wake up, and it's good to wake up. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise the trouble would be big!"

A few people said a word to me, and directly surrounded Meng Lei.

Only Gina, with a rare seriousness on her face, stepped forward and pushed Meng Lei down. With her long, cold but extremely tender fingers, she opened Meng Lei's eyelids involuntarily, and took a small flashlight to Meng Lei's. Pestle on the eyes.

Meng Lei struggled in horror and subconsciously shouted:

"What are you doing?! What are you going to do? Does anyone care? What the **** is going on!"

At this moment, he was completely dumbfounded.

When I woke up, everything seemed to be different, except for my identity that had not changed.

Meng Lei was extremely curious, what did he do last night?

Why is there no impression?

"If you don't want to leave sequelae, let me take a good look, don't become a fool or a lunatic one day, or say goodbye to **** from now on, it will be too late to regret it later!"

Gina's soft voice spoke cold words.

At this moment, she finally looked like a doctor.

Hearing this, Meng Lei gave up the struggle immediately, raised his head with a trace of tragic and solemnity on his face, and let Gina be at the mercy of him.

Next, Gina simply did a full body check on Meng Lei, and even took off her pants.

Meng Lei was about to struggle, trying to retain his last dignity.

But I remembered the so-called sequelae, and the whole body was still **** with five flowers, and there was no ability to resist.

In the end, he forced himself to hypnotize himself, constantly doing psychological construction for himself, bringing himself into the role of a patient, and allowing himself to accept the examination calmly.

After a while, the coquettish red lips let out a breath of alcohol.

The seriousness on Gina's face receded, and she became charming again. She patted Meng Lei's forehead, got up from the bed and said:

"Okay, it's not a big deal, the affected time is short, just take a good rest for two days."

As she said that, she looked down, glanced at Meng Lei, and said meaningfully:

"Dear little captain, it's not too young to be young, and if you can make an appointment yesterday, I think we should be able to have a wonderful night, and nothing will happen later.

Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity, I can't help but feel a little regret..."

Meng Lei felt the part where she was staring at, it was cold, and suddenly became embarrassed, his old face flushed, and he rushed to the few people next to him:

"What are you doing so dumb, put on my pants!"

Huo Ye and Simon came forward with a smirk and tidy up Meng Lei's appearance.

At the same time, he kept joking:

"Captain, I didn't see it, it's really hidden!"

"I really didn't expect that the little commander is actually quite magnificent and talented!"

In the face of the business exchange between the same sex, Meng Lei subconsciously laughed and said:

"Hey, concede, concede!"

After speaking, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and cursed again:

"Don't be so rude, brothers, can we loosen my bonds first?! What happened last night? I don't know what you're doing!"

At this time, Huo Ye pulled out a diving knife from his waist, raised his hand and cut off the rope that bound Meng Lei.

Meng Lei felt relieved for a while, rolled over from the bed, jumped on the spot twice, and shook his aching arms and legs.

Then, I heard Hans say:

"Captain, don't blame us for hitting so hard, you were influenced by the observers last night and almost sank our submarine.

If you were not tied up, you might have done something cruel to yourself.

As a last resort, we can only limit your movements and stabilize you first. "

Hearing this, Meng Lei was shocked.

He never imagined that such a big thing would happen during the period of his amnesia.

He asked hastily:

"What is an observer? What have I done?"

Hans said:

"The Observer is also an alien sea monster, but it is different from other alien sea monsters in that under normal circumstances, it never launches an active attack on any target.

They will only maintain a certain level of attention and gaze on targets of interest to them, such as submarines and divers.

Once they find the target, they will silently approach the ship, staring at the crew's activities through the porthole.

but…"

Hans paused, then said:

"Although the observers are not malicious, their huge red eyes can affect people's spiritual consciousness, and their influence is extremely huge!

Anyone who looks at it, mentally and physically, will involuntarily fall into an instinctive pleasure that is almost insane, and it is impossible to extricate oneself.

The point is, this kind of crazy pleasure usually makes people make a lot of incomprehensible actions in an uncontrolled situation.

Just like Captain you..."

Speaking of this, Hans raised his head and glanced at Meng Lei, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

Meng Lei looked at him with more or less guilt in his heart, and it was difficult to look directly at him, so he asked awkwardly:

"I... what did I do last night?"

At this time, Huo Ye interjected:

"Commander, after everyone fell asleep last night, at three o'clock in the morning, you looked like a ghost!

He walked out of the house dressed neatly, took out a plasma cutter from the toolbox on the wall of the corridor, ran directly to the ballast tank, and started frantically cutting the wall!

If Xu Hui didn't see your abnormal behavior from the monitor, Hans also woke up in time when he heard the observer's noise,

God knows what will happen in the end! "

Hearing this, Meng Lei was stunned.

No wonder he was wearing a wet captain's suit. His feelings were that he didn't even wear a diving suit and went to the ballast tank.

No wonder everyone looked at him with a hint of fear.

If there is no one to stop him, let him continue to act, and he will do something else if he fails to do so.

At that time, the whole ship will have to be buried with you!

Thinking of this, Meng Lei couldn't help shivering, feeling a chill go straight to his forehead.

It was horrible, it was horrible.

For these things that happened last night, he had no impression at all in his memory, and he could not even find some surviving fragments.

If there is no one to stop him, there is a real possibility that he will not even know how to die in the end.

"In the beginning, Xu Hui thought you were sleepwalking, and everyone thought the same, but Dr. Gina thought you were suffering from acute mental illness.

Until Hans determined the presence of the observer through the static noise of the observer,

We only have a general judgment now that you are influenced by the observer.

You also know that our submarine sonar was in a silent state at that time, and even the passive sonar was not turned on, so it was impossible to detect anything approaching outside the ship.

By the time you were placed, the observer had long since left, and the sonar detectors did not find anything unusual. "

Simon made a brief summary of the follow-up to this incident.

Meng Lei nodded thoughtfully when he heard the words, and something deep in his memory was touched.

A touch of scarlet tore the shackles of memory, broke free from it, and resurfaced in his mind.

Meng Lei vaguely recalled that before going to bed, he seemed to have seen something.

A red orb!

No, it's a red eye!

He said this, and it immediately aroused Hans' affirmation.

"It is certain that you are undoubtedly influenced by the observer, Captain. The red sphere outside the porthole is the most characteristic eye of the observer.

Having said that, we actually want to thank you. "

Hearing this, not only Meng Lei was stunned, but Huo Ye and Xu Hui, the other Blue Star players, also turned their heads to look at Hans in confusion, and some couldn't understand the meaning of his words.

Hans explained:

"The gaze of the observer, able to ignore the structure of the hull, has a mental effect on the crew inside.

Normally, it has to be dealt with in a timely manner, which means we need to deal with it in some way, but usually with violent eviction.

However, we were all sleeping and no one could notice the presence of the observer.

If it wasn't for the captain taking the initiative to look at the observer, he would have aroused the interest of the other party, thus ignoring our observation.

Then all of us, including all of us, will be more or less affected by the observer in our sleep, and there will be bad mental reactions.

By then, the situation is likely to be even worse! "

Hearing this, Meng Lei's mouth twitched and he couldn't help but say:

"You mean that as long as the observer is interested in one target, he will keep staring at the other target and will not pay attention to other targets?

Well, I'm doing this, blocking the gun for you?

Taking a lot of damage alone that should have been split evenly? "

Hans smiled, nodded and said, "It's not wrong for you to think so."

Meng Lei's face muscles twitched, and he almost wanted to cry without tears.

At this time, he suddenly realized another problem and said:

"By the way, I remember when I was sleeping, it was only after twelve o'clock in the evening? The observer also appeared at that time. How could it be three o'clock when I went out? Did I look at that thing three times? Hours?"

Hans shook his head, spread his hands and said helplessly:

"It's not impossible, the gaze of the observer will give people a serious illusion of space and time. Sometimes you may feel that only a second has passed, but in fact, a long time has passed.

In that mental state, people's thinking and consciousness have lost their subjective judgment, and everything is a very confusing concept. "

After speaking, Hans suddenly frowned and said:

"The presence of observers this time is somewhat unusual.

Compared with the question of time confusion, I think you should consider another question now, Captain. "

Hearing this, Meng Lei couldn't help frowning.

Hans's tone made him feel a hint of crisis, as if something bad was about to happen.

Meng Lei suddenly wondered: "What's the problem?"

Hans said solemnly:

"Observers usually live in the waters of the flat area at a depth of 5,000 to 10,000 meters, and rarely move in the shallow area. Combined with the appearance of the clown in Eugene before, I think...

A new round of space tides may soon erupt! "
