The latest website: The disturbing night was finally spent peacefully in nightmares and panic.

During this period, Meng Lei was woken up several times by that strange sound.

In the end, in order to ensure safety, he got up in the middle of the night and went to the bridge command room, turned on the sonar detector in person, and checked the situation.

However, the results of sonar detection showed that the surrounding sea area was blank.

Not to mention the alien sea monster, not even a single anomaly was found.

Carl, who is in charge of the night shift, also said no crisis of any kind had been observed.

The suspicious thumping and rubbing, like some kind of hallucination,

Or maybe it was because the ocean current was mixed with some strange hard objects and hit the surface of the submarine, which made a similar strange sound.

Even so, Meng Lei did not dare to be careless.

Under this helpless deep ice ocean, any small hidden danger may cause irreversible disasters!

"Reborn Financial Giants"

He woke up Huo Ye and Simon overnight, put on a combat diving suit, grabbed a weapon, and went out of the cabin to examine it carefully.

However, it was found that there were a lot of gravel scattered on the top of the submarine.

It was densely packed, of various sizes, covering almost the entire outer deck.

It gives people the feeling that it is as if the driving has encountered a strong hailstorm, which makes the scalp tingling.

At this time, everyone came back to their senses and realized what happened.

Those weird knocking sounds before feelings were actually caused by these stones?

Several people looked at each other, all exhaling.

Really a false alarm!

However, Meng Lei, who had a very keen insight, found that under the coverage of the gravel, there were still many scratches and depressions on the surface of the submarine's outer shell.

Clearly, these marks could not have been the result of falling rock.

Under normal circumstances, the rock layer will not fall off in a large area as it is now. It seems that the structure was deliberately damaged by something, which caused this phenomenon to occur.

As for what the truth is, Meng Lei could not draw a specific conclusion, but he raised a little bit of vigilance.

After returning to the cabin, he seriously explained Carl and turned on the active sonar.

Once any abnormality is found during the watch, it will be reported through the public broadcast on the ship immediately.

In addition, through the short-distance communication system, he instructed the duty officers on several other ships to perform the same operation and be more vigilant.

After everything was arranged, he returned to the captain's room to resume his sleep.

Fortunately, in the middle of the night, everything was quiet.

The rubbing and beating gradually receded, and the whole world became extremely silent.

This time, I slept straight into the morning.

A night without dreams.

The next morning, during breakfast, everyone was still talking about the strange sounds they heard last night, and there was a trace of curiosity in their nervousness.

"You say, the rock layer is so strong... How did those stones fall?"

Huo Ye's mouth was stuffed with bread, looked around, and asked vaguely.

Relatively speaking, Hans is the one with the most experience in going overseas.

While burying his head in the meal, he explained thoughtfully:

"These rock formations are not necessarily very strong. Due to frequent geological activities, the overall structure is occasionally damaged, resulting in rubble falling off. This is a normal phenomenon."

After a pause, Hans chewed the caviar in his mouth again and again, swallowed it, and added:

"In addition, there are many worms and arthropods that feed on algae, and it is also possible that during the feeding process, sharp mouthparts are inserted into the rock formation, causing the surface rock layer to fall off.

Alternatively, some creatures will use their claws to hollow out part of the rock formation when they need to build a nest, transforming the environment into a habitable structure.

There are all kinds of possibilities,

It's hard to tell what's going on without seeing it with your own eyes. "

Hearing this, Huo Ye hovered in the air with his dinner plate, his eyes rolled thoughtfully, and said:

"Then when Carl was on duty at night yesterday, he didn't see anything unusual.

It seems that what happened last night should belong to the first situation you mentioned, right? "

Hans shrugged noncommittally, shook his head and said:

"I don't know, there are few people passing through the cargo waterway, and the alliance is not particularly in-depth in the investigation of such waters.

Just make sure that there are no large sea monsters nearby, which can cause serious hidden dangers to navigation safety.

Therefore, within a similar channel, what exactly exists in the darkness, and whether there are unknown creatures that we have never seen, everything is uncertain. "

After a pause, Hans put down the knife and fork in his hand and smiled:

"At least we weren't attacked, that's the best case, isn't it?"

"Right."

Huo Ye nodded when he heard the words, picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth, saying:

"But we have so many boats together, and those little gangsters probably won't dare to provoke them easily. As long as we don't encounter the large abyss siren, we can go sideways wherever we go before reaching the hydrothermal wasteland."

At this time, Gina gracefully picked up the wine bottle and took a sip,

With a mysterious smile on his face, he said:

"That's not necessarily true. Under this alien ice ocean, it's not just the disgusting things like sea monsters that can be fatal. Many invisible things will also drag you into the abyss. Don't take it lightly~"

Hearing this, the relaxed expression on Huo Ye's face suddenly froze, he turned his head suspiciously, and asked:

"Doctor Gina, you mean..."

Gina didn't answer directly, and tasted the impact on the taste buds caused by the mix of inferior beer and caviar.

A look of contentment and intoxication appeared on his delicate and beautiful face.

At this time, Simon put down the dinner plate in his hand, got up and walked out.

When passing by Huo Ye's side, he lightly patted his shoulder and interjected:

"For example, painted skin parasites, that thing is hard to see with the naked eye, but it can drag you into **** and become a monster!"

Saying that, Simon opened his mouth wide, made a gesture of sticking his tongue out, and gestured:

"Like this, a monster with a horrible organ in its mouth!"

Seeing this, recalling his previous encounter at the Rongyan Outpost, Huo Ye couldn't help shivering, got up hastily, and said with a pouting:

"Enough, it's so disgusting, I get nauseated when I think about it, and I vomit all the food I eat later!"

Several people laughed and stopped discussing this topic.

At this time, Meng Lei looked at the new crew member who boarded the ship last night, A-level engineer Byron, and asked:

"Is there any movement at the beacon station? Has the signal been restored?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said helplessly:

"It's a pity Captain, I checked it just now, and the communication has not been restored, and the beacon station is still in a state of loss."

Meng Lei frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong.

Seven or eight hours have passed. Under normal circumstances, the Alliance should have issued a bounty notice, requesting the nearby bounty hunters to repair the beacon station as soon as possible.

And even if there are not many bounty hunters in this channel, passing merchant ships and cargo ships should also troubleshoot the beacon station.

But the current situation has proved that after the night has passed, no ships have passed by the beacon station ahead.

Or, something happened to a passing ship.

In either case, the voyage fleet was destined to be unable to use external force to restore the normal passage of the signal.

"It seems that I have to go there myself?"

Meng Lei frowned and pondered, taking a deep puff of his after-dinner cigarette.

"Captain, the freight channel is different from the normal channel. The environment is too complicated and there are many fork roads. Without the restoration of the beacon, we dare not venture into it. We can only continue to move forward after the beacon station is repaired."

At this time, Byron made a reminder.

Meng Lei nodded heavily and said solemnly:

"Ok, I know."

After a pause, Meng Lei exhaled:

"Okay, clean up the restaurant, let's set off as soon as possible, anyway, let's go over to see the situation first."

"Yes!"

The crowd clapped.

After breakfast, Meng Lei briefly introduced the current situation to Zhu Fei, Jiang Xing, and Zhang Chao through the short-distance communication system.

Then, the voyage fleet set off again, facing the chaotic ocean currents in the darkness, and dashed towards the coordinate point of the nearest beacon station.

The malfunctioning beacon station was about 70 to 80 kilometers away from Meng Lei's current location.

At full speed, it takes about five hours.

However, traversing this rough and complicated channel is not destined to be too fast.

After more than two hours of tunnelling through the dark rock formations, the currents intensified.

Around the huge cave entrances that do not know where to go, there are continuous rapids gushing out, like a deep sea drain, with tons and tons of ocean currents pouring out.

In open seas, currents of this magnitude are quickly dissipated and become negligible.

But in the current narrow corridor, any change in the water flow will turn into a strong resistance or thrust, causing the submarine to collide.

It is no exaggeration to say that Meng Lei felt like a bug crawling in the drainage pipe when he was driving in this waterway.

In this case, the fleet had to spread the distance to avoid being hit by its own people.

In addition, among these turbulent currents, there are also turbid sea sand and some unknown microorganisms.

They are like thick fog, covering the sky and the sun, accompanied by ocean currents.

The visibility of the naked eye is almost zero here, and the projection in front of the bridge command room is full of dim yellow and white, which seriously obstructs the line of sight.

As a last resort, several captains, including Meng Lei, were only able to navigate through the darkness through the images displayed on the sonar display.

In that case, it's not much different from being blind.

It drove away for a while against the chaotic ocean currents. After about an hour, the fleet only advanced a distance of less than six kilometers.

Although it does not require physical manipulation, Meng Lei's brain has begun to become a little drowsy after being in a state of high nerve tension for a long time.

Nothing could be seen outside the submarine, only hard objects could be heard smashing the hull shell with the agitation of the current.

Even the sonar system seems to be affected, sometimes smeared, sometimes confused.

At this time, Meng Lei, who was always focusing on the sonar display, saw something vaguely in the chaotic image.

It seemed to be a very long text message, and it appeared shallowly in front of my eyes.

The dark golden text twisted and swayed, very illusory, and very moldy. Often, it was scattered by some kind of force before it was condensed and formed.

Meng Lei was surprised in exhaustion!

The dark golden text appeared, and he could no longer be familiar with it. It was clearly the prompt message given by Goldfinger.

However, since so many days, Goldfinger has never seen such an unstable phenomenon.

Usually, as long as he concentrates, he can get clear prompts immediately, or there are no prompts at all.

It was the first time that a situation like this Momo Lake would appear and disappear from time to time.

Meng Lei frowned slightly, thinking that there was a problem with the golden finger.

He focused his eyes again and fixed it on an abnormal point displayed on the sonar display.

Clear cues resurfaced.

(A distance of 482 meters, there is a natural exposed copper mine with average resource content, which is very valuable for the land reclamation period, but now there is no need for mining...)

It was still in that slightly mocking tone, as if someone was standing outside the painting to make notes.

There is no abnormality in Goldfinger, giving clear and detailed prompts.

However, when Meng Lei focused his gaze on the sonar display, the picture displayed by the dazzling ocean current data model.

A series of textual reminders that were similar to the lake and shallow appeared again inexplicably.

But Meng Lei hadn't waited for Meng Lei to concentrate and read the contents of the words clearly.

The distorted dark golden symbol immediately dissipated into a cloud of smoke, as if it had never appeared before, making Meng Lei extremely puzzled.

"Is it possible, this ocean current is weird, what is there? Goldfinger is trying to remind me?"

"But why does the prompt dissipate on its own? This has never happened before!"

Meng Lei frowned, not sure what the situation was.

He then made a lot of attempts, but the result was no surprise, without any gains.

Finally, as the momentum of the ocean currents slowed down, the fleet gradually sailed out of the narrow channel, and everything around it slowly returned to normal.

The strange reminder also disappeared, and no trace was shown again.

"It's evil!"

Meng Lei was sitting in the driver's seat with a serious look in his eyes.

Thinking about it, no clue at all. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

In the end, he gave up exploring and focused on driving again, steering the submarine towards the beacon station.

The next voyage was much easier than before.

After leaving the rock formation tunnel, the surrounding environment opened up and the water became extremely clear.

After more than two hours of sailing, the fleet was getting closer and closer to the malfunctioning beacon station.

When the outline of the outpost Mohu appeared at the end of the sonar detector, Meng Lei finally let out a breath.

But before he could relax completely, another discovery made his heart tighten, and his brows involuntarily wrinkled.

"What's that? There's a boat near the beacon station?"

"Is anyone here before us?"
