The latest website: After some discussion, the list of maintenance teams and combat personnel was quickly determined.

Thanks to Chen Yu's comprehensive consideration, there is no shortage of manpower in the expedition fleet.

In addition to the ship's safety officer responsible for security and special mechanical maintenance workers, Chen Yu has arranged some backup personnel on every ship accompanying him.

Of course, the crew on the Sea Locust has not changed.

Hans and Karl alone are enough to deal with most emergencies.

If they really want to encounter something that even they can't deal with, no matter how many people there are, it's useless.

The next action plan was determined, and the group set off without further delay.

The action team with a total of 20 or 30 people, under the "escort" of more than ten deep-sea searchlights, slowly wandered away towards the ferocious behemoth in front.

Among them, there are many people in pairs, carrying sealed metal boxes in their hands.

Those boxes contained various repair tools, as well as sheet metal used to fill holes in the hull.

Of course, these metal plates were not the reserves that the fleet carried when they set off, but were temporarily processed and manufactured from the crafting bench in the engineering cabin.

It has to be said that in order to adapt to the living environment, in the field of 3D printing technology, Yixing Technology does have good attainments.

As long as you have blueprints and materials, you can build anything.

It greatly saves space utilization and is more conducive to travel and development.

The water waves surged, and dozens of action team members floated in the misty ocean, leaving a string of long, narrow and dense bubble traces behind them wherever they passed.

Reflecting the light, it slowly rose up, and finally floated into the darkness of nowhere.

When the team came to the E-class transport boat, next, everyone divided into two groups.

A part of the fighters moved upstream against the outer shell of the submarine. According to the action plan, they entered the interior of the submarine from the airlock on the first floor, followed the old road that Meng Lei and the others had gone through, and carried out the bizarre plant life form on the second floor from top to bottom. eliminate.

The other team went deep into the huge gap at the bottom of the ballast tank, divided into two batches, and started to repair the submarine loopholes.

Meng Lei stood in front of the porthole of the command room of the Sea Locust with his hands behind his back, silently watching the progress of the action outside the cabin.

And according to the progress of the task, orderly command.

On the whole, the action process was relatively smooth, and there were no accidents.

The work of cleaning up those vegetative people was actually not as dangerous as they thought.

Although the strange thalamic plant lifeform has a high attack power, its movement speed is slow. When the firepower is sufficient, with reasonable tactics, it is easy to achieve long-range killing.

Especially, with the death of core organs.

The mycelium scattered in every corner of the cabin gradually lost its activity one after another.

At the end of the battle, those vegetative people actually turned into plants, and their movements became more and more rigid, until they were completely fixed in place, and there was no longer any movement.

It is like a gardening shape that has been polished and polished, and it grows hideously in the cabin.

At first glance, it seems that you have entered a horror garden with a horror theme!

Although it may seem terrifying, it is no longer threatening.

This situation has provided great convenience for the clearing work.

The combat team, armed with assault rifles and grenade guns, rushed into the second-floor area to kill Kaka, and soon wiped out all the remnants.

Immediately, everyone let out a long sigh and felt extremely fortunate.

When he heard the news, although Meng Lei also felt relieved, he did not let his guard down.

Because he had the experience of single brushing the wreck of the Ceres before, he asked the fighters to open all the hatches in the ship so as not to miss anything.

At first, there were people in the team who didn't quite understand it and felt that Meng Lei was a little too cautious.

But as the cleanup of the battlefield gradually came to an end, the airtight hatches covered by mycelium were cut open one by one.

Those who questioned Meng Lei's decision all shut their mouths.

The people discovered that,

It turned out that these vegetative people were not the only ones that were destroyed in the cabin passages. Even in some closed crew rooms, many crew members were infected by parasitics and turned into strange life forms that combined flesh and plants.

Some of them take root on the deck of the crew room, some grow on the rotten beds of the fungus.

What's more, it hangs upside down from the ceiling of the cabin!

Like a hanged ghost with some kind of biological aberration, the head is lowered, the scarlet flower core blooms in the cranial cavity, and the long tongue covered with barbs hangs on the chest, strange and terrifying!

Looking at the scene in front of them, all the fighters who entered the second-floor area to fight felt chills on their backs.

The good news is that the core organ of the thalamus has been destroyed, and these terrifying vegetative people have lost their activity and can no longer attack.

if not,

The moment they cut open the hatch, Bao Buqi would be strung into a barbecue by the strong and powerful whip, causing death and injury on the spot!

"It's terrifying, this thing just came out of a horror movie, it's terrifying!"

"Indeed, although those alien sea monsters look weird, they can barely accept it. This kind of vegetative person is simply incomprehensible, like an evil ghost crawling out of hell!"

"There are so many weird things in this sea, it scares people to death..."

…

Everyone was talking about it, and their hearts were extremely frightening.

"Used to it."

At this time, Meng Lei spoke to comfort in the communication channel, reminding:

"We have only walked less than one-tenth of the distance from the shallow area. I don't know what strange things are waiting for you, let alone the deeper waters. What we will face in the future may be Hundreds of thousands of times more terrifying than this kind of vegetative person, if you don’t calm down your mind, how can you keep going?!”

After a pause, Meng Lei said again:

"Okay, clean up all the monsters and parasites on the ship, then go to the cargo warehouse at the bottom to check the cargo on this ship.

There should be a lot of good things in the merchant ships of the alliance! "

After this period of understanding, Meng Lei can be considered to have roughly grasped the supply structure of the alliance.

Generally speaking, except for the private transport ships of major arms companies and mining giants, they all take the conventional waterways because they do not carry too many materials.

For example, most of the cargo ships within the alliance that transport resources to gathering places and outposts will choose to take special cargo shipping lanes.

Because there are many conventional waterways that need to be detoured, and the environment is narrow, it is not conducive to the passage of large ships, and it may be blocked in a small tunnel.

Therefore, any transport ship that takes the freight channel,

They were all large merchant ships that transported goods to gathering places or outposts, and the supplies on board were bound to be huge and valuable.

Meng Lei was also very curious as to what the cargo was transported by this ship.

food?

mineral?

Or ammunition?

Anyway, this time the harvest is absolutely extraordinary!

After receiving the order, the combat team that completed the clearing work immediately began to assemble to the bottom area of ​​the transport boat.

At this time, the repair team's repair of the external structure of the submarine finally came to an end.

The huge hole in the ballast tank that was penetrated by the gun of thalamic flesh and blood was temporarily patched with basic materials. Although the degree of firmness was limited, the hole was blocked, and the water seepage situation would not continue to deteriorate.

The next focus of work is to clean up the parasitic flora inside the submarine and restore the power system.

This is a huge project that takes a long time and cannot be completed in a short time.

And Meng Lei didn't know anything about the technology in this area, let alone the guidance work, even some of the most basic theoretical knowledge.

Commander Meng, who likes to take the lead in everything, will become the most leisurely person in the fleet.

In the command room of the bridge of the Sea Locust, Meng Lei read the magazine boredly for a while, then flipped through the handheld tablet on the center console.

The signal still hasn't recovered. This expensive high-end alien communicator has now become a brick, and it's useless.

At this time, Meng Lei suddenly realized something very outrageous.

It stands to reason that the technological level of the Tia people is relatively advanced in some fields.

Moreover, electronic products such as handheld tablets also have similarities with Bluestar Technology.

However, it is clear that the deep-sea voyage is boring and tasteless, and the entertainment items in life are also very expensive.

But the Alliance has not developed any games on the handheld tablet, so that the crew can use it to pass the time when they go to sea? !

I have to say, this is really unreasonable!

"Go back and ask Chen Yu to recruit some proficient programmers to see if they can crack the codes of electronic products produced by these alliances. If there is a chance, it is also a good business opportunity to develop games on tablets and sell them for money!"

"It's really not possible, just make and sell mobile phones. Anyway, the most important thing Blue Star lacks is talent, and it also has a complete technology tree."

"Combined with the developed 3D printing technology of Alien, and the rich resource reserves of the seabed, it is not impossible to form an industrial chain!"

"Even if you build a host to play games on a submarine, it's a good way to make money..."

Meng Lei's thoughts diverged, and he thought of a lot at once.

These ideas must not be thought of by him alone, but at present, there are certainly not many people who can realize and put them into action.

At the very least, to realize these ideas, at least one independent and complete gathering place, including corresponding production lines and technology research and development departments, is required.

In addition to the support objects of the Exploration faction of the separation organization, ordinary people have no chance if they have ideas.

The Chongming Fleet, on the other hand, fully possesses the advantages in this regard, and can seize business opportunities one step ahead of others and open up the market ahead of time.

"Playing games on a submarine is safe and healthy, and it can also release stress and reduce the risk of mental illness. It's really a bit tricky..."

Following this line of thinking, Meng Lei derived more ideas.

He took out a pen and paper, recorded these thoughts one by one, and prepared to wait for the signal to recover to find a chance to have a good chat with Chen Yu.

Time passed slowly and unknowingly.

Soon, hours passed in the blink of an eye.

The restoration work of the ghost ship is still in full swing, and it was not until 8:30 in the evening that the exposed mycelium on the four walls of the cabin was finally cleaned up.

During the whole process, the staff of the maintenance team wore diving suits and did not dare to take them off for a moment, for fear that the fungal spores in the air would not die, but would rejuvenate after being inhaled into the body.

Just by changing the oxygen cylinder back and forth, everyone wasted a lot of time.

In the end, Meng Lei simply let people build dozens of additional oxygen cylinders in the engineering cabin, and threw them onto the ghost ship, saving time and speeding up the repair progress.

During this period, Meng Lei had nothing to do, took out the leather-wrapped diary, and wrote a logbook that was no less than the length of the previous chapter.

I recorded in detail what I saw and heard in the past few days after leaving the city.

And focused on recording the encounter at the beacon station, and listed the thalamus, a strange fungal creature, as the first danger level to guard against.

In the course of future voyages, it is necessary to send people to inspect the ballast tanks on a regular basis, so as not to be recruited again unknowingly.

After closing the diary, Meng Lei checked the time. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

Thinking of something, he set off to the medical cabin on the second floor, ready to ask Gina to clarify.

There are various indications that there is definitely something wrong with this ship doctor, Jiu Mengzi, who usually looks crazy!

This problem may not be malignant, but if it is unclear, Meng Lei always feels like there is something stuck in his heart and feels very uncomfortable.

"Gina, come out!"

in the medical cabin,

The few hospital beds were filled with fighters whose nerve centers were eroded by paralyzing toxins.

In addition, Lin, who is shy and introverted but kind-hearted, has also been helping in the medical cabin.

Considering the large number of people, even if there are any secrets, Gina may not reveal them easily.

So, Meng Lei deliberately called Gina into the captain's room alone and closed the hatch.

in the dark,

The two stood on the spot with big eyes and small eyes, and the atmosphere was a little subtle for a while.

Lonely men and widows coexisting in the same room late at night, there is something vaguely ambiguous about it.

At this time ~lightnovelpub.net~ did not wait for Meng Lei to speak.

Gina, who has always been enthusiastic and unrestrained, still maintains her usual style, seemingly unintentionally unbuttoning the top button of her coat, revealing the black lace as the base.

The hot red lips rose slightly, and the big eyes seemed to be rippling, staring straight at Meng Lei.

She stepped forward, narrowed the distance between the two, and said first:

"Dear little captain, are you enlightened today, do you want to fall in love overnight? I can assure you that as long as you try boldly, Dr. Gina will definitely leave you with a wonderful memory."

I don't know why, looking at Gina's fiery eyes, and the snow-white gleam in the corner of his eye, Meng Lei suddenly felt like a sheep was entering the tiger's mouth.

He hurriedly took a step back, decisively distanced himself from Gina, and said righteously:

"Doctor Gina, please respect yourself!"
