The latest website: The expedition fleet of the Chongming Fleet,

Four days after Meng Lei's last return flight, he finally set sail again in the spotlight.

It may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that it is popular.

However, there are indeed many people who pay attention to this matter.

In addition to the members of the Chongming Fleet itself, the Beiming Fleet, the Winter Fleet and the Deep Blue Fleet, including most of the other personnel who received news, such as the Knights and some small scattered organizations.

Even some well-informed local bounty hunters have set their sights on Dock No. 59 in the lower area of ​​Syr City.

It is different from the scene of watching the voyage on land.

In the deep sea environment, people who are paying attention to this can only watch the fleet go away through the sonar images on the submarine.

Or drive the submarine yourself and run to the vicinity of Dock 59.

With the help of the bright light from the large deep-sea searchlights standing between the various docks, stand on the edge of the porthole and overlook the scene when the fleet leaves.

Therefore, when Meng Lei drove the Sea Locust off the dock and officially embarked on the journey.

On the sonar display of the bridge command room, the dense outline of the submarine immediately appeared.

They were gathered in the outer area of ​​the voyage fleet, like solemn and solemn see-offs, watching the departure of the fleet.

Driven by this behavior, many people who didn't know it at first were also attracted and curiously gathered around.

This has led to an increasing number of onlookers.

Soon a nearby sea area was surrounded by water, and the scene was extremely spectacular!

And at the moment, the channel communication channel, with the disclosure of some insiders, completely exploded the pot, causing an uproar!

[Comma: Let me go, the Chongming fleet has been expanded to five F-class submarines? ! Is this about to start exploring the deep area again? Are they growing too fast? 】

[Period: It's been more than half a month since I came to Xi'er City, and I don't even know what the channel behind me looks like, but they've already hit the second week. People are more popular than people! 】

[Romeo: Oh, God, the five F-class exploration boats have also undergone weapon and structural modifications. Why is the Chongming fleet so rich? In half a month, I didn't even earn 2,000 marks, but they smashed millions on the fleet alone! Even if there are more subordinates, the gap can't be so exaggerated, right? How exactly did they do it? 】

[Guixi: As expected of a legendary figure with the same name as my submarine, the captain of Guixu is indeed a talented person. He has been in the lead since the beginning of time travel, and now he is even more unattainable. Admiration, admiration! 】

[Aijiang: The Chongming fleet is amazing, if you join them, you should be able to eat enough? Gululu... I'm really annoying, my stomach is starting to get hungry again...]

There are different opinions in the communication channel,

Since coming to Xier City, after many days, there is once again a common topic that can arouse everyone's heated discussion.

The words Chongming Fleet and Guixu have once again become the focus of the topic.

At a certain moment, I don't know who started first.

In the crowd of onlookers, there was suddenly a faint light group, which instantly marked the void shrouded in darkness.

Then, near the rock formation at the top of the cavity, it suddenly exploded, turning into a dazzling bright light!

Infinite radiance sprinkled, instantly lighting up the void near Xier City.

It was a flare, shot out by a Blue Star player who was keen on ritual.

And as this flare blazed,

The crowd of onlookers seemed to be inspired, and they seemed to join in the fun, and they all began to shoot one flare after another into the void.

In an instant, in the boundless darkness outside the city of Xier.

It was like a shooting star passing by, staggering across the universe, and then turning into bright stars, reflecting the surrounding sea area brightly!

There are dozens or hundreds of flares, like stars lighting up lights, slowly falling from the dome, drifting and sinking with the ocean currents.

The darkness is gone, and the road ahead is bright.

Infinite brilliance sprinkled on the five F-class exploration boats that were gradually moving away, and the surface of the hull seemed to be covered with a layer of glow.

Under the refraction of water waves, it is hazy and distorted, like smoke.

The voyage fleet marched through the darkness to the end of the light, as if stepping into the kingdom of heaven step by step.

The players who saw this scene were all shocked at the moment.

The picture was so beautiful, it was suffocating.

It seems like a picture that has been rendered many times, and there is a dreamy feeling in the hazy, not like it happened in reality.

I don't know how long it took, the fleet went away and gradually disappeared.

The duration of the flares is also about to run out, and the light gradually fades.

At this time.

The turbulent ocean currents brought a large amount of white sediment from afar, like snowflakes blown by the wind, falling down from the sky.

In the dim light, a hazy snow scene appears.

At that moment, the surrounding atmosphere changed again, and suddenly there was an inexplicable feeling of tragic and solemnity.

Before the expedition fleet finally disappeared completely, the backs left to the audience reflected the snow scene.

Looking lonely and desolate.

Invisibly, there is a touch of unspeakable desolation.

those white sediments that are scattered all over the sky,

Like snowflakes, like paper money,

Drifting in the rapids, flying in the dark.

Five glistening steel giant ships, like five huge iron coffins floating in the void.

sorrow, emptiness,

In shock, it makes people feel inexplicably blocked.

Everyone who saw this scene gradually became weird.

There was also a rare moment of silence in the channel communication channel.

At this moment, a strange atmosphere began to spread in the sea area near Xier City.

Question marks began to appear in most people's minds.

How can a good-looking festive farewell look like a funeral all of a sudden?

Return to the Ruins,

Chen Yu stood on the edge of the porthole with his hands behind his back, and the corner of his mouth with his pipe in his mouth couldn't help but twitch, and murmured:

"This group of people watching the fun really knows how to play, and it's not easy to bring the atmosphere to this effect.

Do you want to call Xiao Meng and the others back and leave at another time?

The atmosphere of this environment is really not very good! "

...

No matter what Chen Yu and the others are thinking at the moment,

On Meng Lei's side, it is impossible to know this.

Even if he knew about it, he would at most silently complain, and it was impossible to change the schedule he had already set.

It's a long way to go, from the city of Syr to the colony of Barona, there are more than 1,300 kilometers!

Even if they sailed nonstop 24 hours a day, it would take about ten days before they could barely reach the target sea area.

And the last three or four hundred kilometers are already in the range of hydrothermal wasteland.

Even without the influence of space tides, the road will never be peaceful.

Therefore, they did not have much time to delay, and had to leave as soon as possible to complete the transaction and return to Syr City before the disaster broke out.

After leaving Sear City, five F-class exploration boats, arranged in a cone-shaped array, sailed fast in the boundless darkness.

As the flagship, the Sea Locust walked at the forefront of the team to clear the way.

The other four submarines were lined up on either side of the Sea Locust to **** the perimeter.

Logically speaking, the flagship belongs to the core of the team and should be protected in the central area to prevent the possibility of first contact with the crisis.

However, the other novice captains were the first to come into contact with ordinary ships other than the initial wastelander.

Although the operating system is similar, it takes a certain amount of time to get familiar with it after all.

It is no exaggeration to say that even Huo Ye and Xu Hui have more experience in driving ordinary submarines than the four fleet elites carefully selected by Chen Yu.

Therefore, temporarily letting them **** them on both sides is also to give them some time to get acquainted.

But I believe that with the ability of these few people, they will quickly become familiar with the various facilities and operation modes on the ship.

At that time, it's time to change the formation again.

In addition, after driving the Sea Locust again this time, Meng Lei vaguely felt that the sonar display seemed to have some subtle changes compared to before.

This change is not an intuitive change at the visual level. From the perspective of the picture alone, there is no obvious difference.

It's a weird feeling,

Just like after Meng Lei dreamed of that mysterious white light last time,

When I wake up again, I have some more spiritual insights on the cognitive level of everything around me.

He was not sure if this change was also caused by that strange dream.

He doesn't know what the impact of this change will be.

He just had a feeling that once this change stabilized, it might bring him new surprises.

Therefore, he spontaneously walked at the front of the team,

And always pay attention to the sonar display, trying to find some clues.

Regrettably, he didn't notice anything unusual until the early morning break.

The abnormal point display is normal, and the hint of the golden finger has not changed, and everything is the same.

After a long time, Meng Lei gradually lost interest and stopped paying too much attention.

What should come will always come, there is no need to rush it.

The fleet left Sear City at around eight o'clock in the evening, and then proceeded eastward according to the guidance of the navigation.

It is worth mentioning that,

This time, the waterway they traveled to the hydrothermal wasteland was no longer the road that led to the molten rock outpost.

Of course, for the first part of the journey, we still follow the original route.

All the way along the way are underground cavity structures buried deep in the crevices of the rock formations, the channel is narrow, and there are bare exposed rocks looking up, which is very depressing.

But after passing through that special area called a small cavity, the route of the route changed.

The automatic control navigation guided Meng Lei all the way to the deeper part of the rock formation.

The terrain is getting lower and lower, gradually surpassing the sea area with a depth of 3,200 meters.

It wasn't until about 3,500 meters that the depth stopped dropping, and it gradually became smoother and maintained at this data.

The surrounding terrain and environment have not changed much, and they are still walking through the dark and depressing tunnel.

Meng Lei, who had experienced it once, didn't feel much about it.

But those entourages who sailed in the rock formations for the first time for the first time, more or less, began to undergo subtle changes in their psychology.

After all, most of the sea area in front of Xier City is relatively empty, a bit similar to the open air.

When exposed to this environment at the beginning, it will make people feel a strong sense of abandonment, and even if the light is turned on, there will be no refraction feedback.

To tell the truth, it does make people feel anxious and uneasy.

But navigating in the eternal rock tunnel, the feeling will become extremely depressing, as if entering an infinite loop that is swallowed by the vortex of time and space, and can never escape.

At the beginning, this feeling can be relieved by talking and chatting, playing cards and reading magazines and other entertainment methods.

But this is a cure for the symptoms but not the root cause. The feeling of depression and anxiety always lingers in my heart, and it can't go away at all.

In order to let everyone adapt as soon as possible and avoid the continuous fermentation of this emotion.

After nightfall, Meng Lei ordered everyone to go to rest immediately, and the personnel on duty were replaced by the natives of Alien.

Of course,

Due to the lessons learned by this guy Eugene, he did not dare to be completely at ease with these alien native crew members.

Through the short-distance communication system, Meng Lei specially explained that Zhang Chao and Lin Ming, their captains, must arrange for their own people to patrol the submarine constantly at night.

No matter what suspicious situation is found, it must be suppressed by force at the first time!

The heads of these top people, carefully selected by Chen Yu, are turning faster than each other.

Through Meng Lei's simple description, he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

So they nodded and agreed, guaranteeing that the security work will be put in place, and there will be no mistakes.

Meng Lei nodded with satisfaction, handed over control of the submarine to Simon, and then went back to the captain's room to sleep.

For the next two days, the fleet has been traveling through the desolate rock tunnels, rarely seeing other sea environments.

Although a little boring, but fortunately there is no danger.

For the shallow waters near Sear City, the fleet of five F-class submarines is already quite large.

Under normal circumstances, there would be no eye-opening alien sea monsters who would choose to attack a fleet of this size.

This phenomenon made Lin Ming and the crew members of the fleet surprised.

To put it bluntly, I never thought that the deeper area behind Xier City was actually safer than the shallow area outside the city.

Regarding this~lightnovelpub.net~ Meng Lei just smiled and reminded them not to be careless.

The journey has only just begun, and the real danger is yet to come!

And as if to confirm Meng Lei's words, from the third day onwards, the voyage gradually became more difficult.

It's not that the number of sea monsters has increased, but the sea environment along the way has become increasingly complex and changeable.

Not only is the channel itself very narrow and crowded, and the formation cannot be fully unfolded, but the rock formations are also more dangerous and strange.

The flat and smooth dome disappeared, replaced by stalactite-shaped upside-down thorns like the fangs of the beast!

In the process of driving, if you are a little careless, you may hit a rock and hit a wall, causing serious scratches to the submarine shell!

In such a marine environment,

It is a huge test for all captains including Meng Lei!
