The whole body is scarlet and dazzling lighting rod, flickering slightly in a dead space of absolute darkness.

The jumping red light dispelled the darkness that had enveloped the sunken ship for decades.

Let this once-perhaps famous underwater hegemony once again appear in front of the world.

Although, there is only one person.

Although, everything has changed with the erosion of time.

Meng Lei was on his head and feet, clinging to the edge of the cut hatch with both hands, and slowly sneaked into the fourth floor area of ​​the sunken ship.

I don't know if it's my own delusion.

When he came to the fourth floor, he faintly felt that the temperature around him was even colder.

And, the darkness seems to be more intense.

The lighting rod is suspended in mid-air, and can only reflect the scene in the current passage.

Looking deeper, it was completely pitch black.

The reflection of light here has weakened, and the surrounding metal bulkheads are broken and rotten, as if they can swallow everything, and even light cannot escape its capture.

Here, darkness seems to have turned into substance, a substance that can be accumulated.

The dark matter deposited by the shipwreck for decades seems to have gathered together.

Meng Lei shivered involuntarily.

The first impression that these four-story areas gave him was very bad, and he always felt very uncomfortable.

Inexplicably, he became extremely vigilant.

"It's weird, it seems you have to be careful!"

Meng Lei pondered to himself and was alert.

In the area on the third floor of the submarine before, he did not see any trace of the other crew members except for the bodies in the dining room.

The parasitic-infected crew members on the Baobuqi message are all hidden in this lower area.

If that's the case, it's going to be really tricky.

He looked up at the not-so-wide hatch gap.

After pondering for a while, Meng Lei took out the crowbar in his backpack and widened the gap a bit.

Make sure that you can evacuate quickly without being affected in the event of an emergency.

Then, he flicked a light stick and placed it in the gap so that he would not get lost during the escape.

After doing all this, he finally let out a breath and felt relieved for the time being.

Holding the lighting stick in one hand and the trigger of the shotgun in the other, he began to survey the surrounding environment.

The overall structure of the fourth floor of the sunken ship is much more open and spacious than the third floor.

The living area on the third floor is more like a huge beehive, and the cramped crew rooms are crowded one by one, and the passages are very narrow.

And this four-story area is like a small processing factory.

The facilities located along the passage are like workshops, dividing the four-story cabin into independent areas.

Relatively speaking, the activity space is larger.

Even in dangerous situations, there should be enough wiggle room.

And, as Meng Lei gradually deepened.

He found that the hatch from the fourth floor to the third floor was not the only one he had just come down from.

Every time you pass an independent workshop area, there will be a ladder extending upwards on the bulkhead of a certain workshop.

At the top of the ladder is a hatch leading to the upper floor.

When Meng Lei was exploring on the third floor, most of his attention was focused on the surrounding rooms, and he didn't notice these details.

Now it seems that the internal structure of this submarine can also be called extending in all directions.

It was far more sophisticated and complex than he imagined.

After simply wandering around for a while, Meng Lei did not rush into those rooms.

But first familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment, and always be ready to run at any time.

Gou is not ashamed at all.

Meng Lei has always thought so.

Only the living are eligible.

The dead don't even have a chance, that's the saddest thing.

After a long while, until he knew the general terrain in his chest, he put the lighting stick at an open fork in the road and continued to dispel the darkness around him.

Then, relying on the guidance of the overhead lights, he pushed aside the darkness in front of him and pushed open the hatch of a workshop.

The rusted metal sign was parasitized by a large number of polyps, and it was impossible to see what was written.

After cautiously entering, he found it.

In the center of this facility, there is a precision instrument covered in rust and its purpose is unknown.

Staring at it, Goldfinger did not give any hints, apparently it had already decayed and had no use value.

However, on the surrounding ground, there are some basic materials covered with sediment scattered.

Such as copper, lead and iron ore.

From this it can be seen that this instrument should be some kind of manufacturing device.

And at the time of the tragedy, it was still in operation, otherwise it would be impossible to explain the origin of these materials.

Meng Lei took stock.

These materials all add up to a total of twelve units.

For many players, it is equivalent to a windfall!

However, Meng Lei allowed those mineral resources to be buried quietly under the sediments, without much fluctuation in his heart, and did not pick them up.

It's not that he has the wealth and wealth to dislike these materials.

The key is that his main goal right now is to search for more valuable items like technological blueprints or gravity balls.

It's a worthwhile trip to get those things in hand.

Moreover, these basic materials take up a lot of space, and the backpack capacity of the diving suit is very small, so there is no need to pack these rags.

Wait until you turn around and salvage all the valuable things on the sunken ship.

After eliminating all threats, it is not too late to make a special storage box to collect these resources.

That way it is more efficient and saves time.

Anyway, these basic resources can't run away here, so don't be in a hurry.

After strolling around the house, Meng Lei found nothing other than the precision instrument and scattered resources.

Only on the bulkhead close to the inside, I saw a few shocking scratches, which were very obvious.

I don't know what caused it, but what is certain is that it is very old.

Probably existed when the submarine sank.

Because the corrosion marks on it are very serious, it is not much different from the surrounding walls.

"This trace, shouldn't it be made by the kind of crew member infected with parasites?"

"I'm obedient, I'm a little creepy!"

Staring at the scratches on the wall, Meng Lei's heart sank.

Thinking of some possibility, he involuntarily clenched the shotgun in his hand.

If the situation is as he judged, then the ability of this parasitic monster is undoubtedly quite terrifying!

At least in terms of power, it is completely beyond the scope of human beings.

Once met, life and death are only a split second.

Meng Lei took a deep breath, didn't stop in this facility, turned around and left.

He intends to speed up his exploration, get valuables as soon as possible, and then leave.

The sense of oppression that those ferocious scratches brought him was a bit too great.

In the face of such a terrifying existence, even with a gun in his hand, he has no idea in his heart.

Quickly swinging his legs, he walked around the neighborhood.

In these workshops distributed on the fourth floor of the submarine, most of the hatches are closed.

The one Meng Lei had just entered was half open for some reason.

After turning around for a long time, he finally found another room with an open door.

Without hesitation, he used a crowbar to forcefully open the crack of the door, and Meng Lei dodged in.

At this moment, just as he stepped into the door with his front foot.

The lighting rod suspended on the ceiling not far away suddenly dimmed.

As if something was blocking the light of the lighting rod.

The whole world was pitch black for a moment, but in the next second, it was back to light.

Immediately after.

A human-shaped shadow, under the reflection of the lighting rod, slowly pulled out a long shadow in the dimness, and appeared silently at the end of the corridor.

Then.

Step by step, with a faltering pace, like an ancient undead crawling out of a grave.

In the direction of Meng Lei, he slowly approached...
