"Brother Meng! You said, this thing is used to control the ship's battery?!"

"I'm going, it's so handsome!"

"Did you use this thing to get the first kill in the channel?!"

"How powerful is it? Isn't it particularly powerful when it fights!"

"By the way, the one you mentioned in the communication channel today... what kind of painted skin is that? What is it? What does it look like?"

"Are you really alone, cleaning up a sunken ship?"

"And there's..."

…

Boundless darkness represents absolute eternity.

Guixu was driving silently in a twisty and dangerous submarine canyon.

In the many strange stone forests like thorns, walk through cautiously.

This deadly and quiet atmosphere should have brought a feeling of incomparable desolation and loneliness.

But at the moment.

Meng Lei felt as if he was in the center of the city, and his ears were full of messy noises.

It was like there were countless flies buzzing around him.

It made him dizzy and couldn't help but want to run away.

half an hour ago.

After confirming that the terrifying abyss banshee completely left.

Meng Lei didn't dare to stop, turned on the sonar again, and drove away from the dangerous sea area with the fastest speed.

period, after a brief exchange.

When Huo Ye learned that the submarine that rescued him was actually the famous Guixu, the whole person fell into complete excitement and madness.

A middle-aged man in his 40s and 50s is like a curious baby who has never seen the world.

Surrounded by Meng Lei, he kept asking questions, his eyes were full of excitement, and he looked at everything in the submarine curiously.

He was already a little talkative, and in this period of time, it was infinitely enlarged.

With that chattering voice, Meng Lei's brain was about to explode!

In fact, Meng Lei didn't plan to reveal his identity so soon.

However, paper can't hold fire after all.

If nothing else, the periscope standing above the driver's seat could explain a lot of things invisibly.

in addition.

Ammo rack, water extractor, charging dock, simple toilet...

There is also a storage box in the corner of the living cabin that is two circles larger than the original warehouse.

In addition, the sonar display has a detection range of up to two kilometers.

Everything is proving the extraordinary of this submarine.

As for these key facilities on the Guixu, other players' submarines can have one or two things in the sky, and it can be regarded as a fairly high standard of living.

For example, the submarine that Huo Ye was thrown away by the abyss banshee didn't even have a toilet on it!

The Danshui extractor has just been manufactured, and it has not been able to store 200ml.

Taking himself as a comparison, Huo Ye can also realize.

The submarine that accidentally rescued himself is definitely not ordinary!

And ultimately lead to the key reasons for identity exposure.

When Meng Lei communicated business with other fleets in the private chat channel, the message sent by Meng Lei in the dialog box showed the three words "Returning Market Number".

At this time, Huo Ye finally came to his senses.

It turned out that his savior was the mysterious player who kept stirring up the entire channel!

From that time on, Huo Ye's talkativeness has entered a late stage.

He has been wandering back and forth in the cockpit, chattering and asking in Meng Lei's ear.

As soon as they met, Meng Lei realized that Huo Ye had this problem.

Therefore, he was too lazy to answer at first.

I thought that if the other party felt boring, it should stop after a while.

But obviously Meng Lei underestimated Huo Ye's skill!

The uninterrupted nagging for more than ten minutes made him faintly recall the fear of being dominated by the spiritual attack of the abyss banshee.

At this moment, Meng Lei finally couldn't bear it anymore, he slapped the center console and shouted loudly:

"Enough! Brother, can you stop and stop and let me be quiet for a while!"

The sudden outburst immediately startled Huo Ye.

At this time, Huo Yecai seemed to realize his own problem.

At the moment, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and said with a smile:

"Hey...Brother Meng, I'm just like this, don't mind, I shut up, I shut up, don't talk..."

There was a trace of apology on his face.

Huo Ye laughed dryly, retreated to the porthole, and sat on the air bed in silence.

Meng Lei took a deep breath, looked at Huo Ye's aggrieved look, and shook his head helplessly.

Judging from the current situation, Huo Ye doesn't have any other inferior character except for being a little more talkative.

Meng Lei didn't want to make the relationship too stiff, and maybe he could become friends in the future.

After pondering for a while, I remembered that Huo Ye once said that he hadn't eaten or drank all day.

Meng Lei hesitated for a moment, then got up with a gun and came to the living cabin.

A plastic bottle was tinkered with from the manufacturing stand, and two more fish were grilled.

Finally, he returned to the cockpit with a bottle full of danshui and grilled fish, handed it to Huo Ye, and said:

"Here, let's eat something to pad your stomach first."

Although his tone was a bit cold, Meng Lei's behavior made Huo Ye feel like a spring breeze.

What is a good person? !

This is a good man!

In this cruel living environment where most people still have nothing to eat, the ones who can give you food and drink for no reason are either lacking in heart and eyes or living Bodhisattvas.

In Huo Ye's eyes, Meng Lei is undoubtedly the latter!

Although Huo Ye knew very well, Meng Lei definitely didn't worry about food and drink here.

After all, the reputation and strength of the Guixu number are here. How can people who sell fish wholesale on the first day of the game lack food?

But no matter how hungry Huo Ye was, he was too embarrassed to open his mouth at first.

He felt that his life had just been saved by someone, and he hadn't been able to help much, and he had to eat and drink again when he opened his mouth, which was really unreasonable.

At the very least, they should go into the water to help each other with some work.

After you have some achievements and a human relationship, try to ask for something to eat.

But whoever thought of it, before he opened his mouth, people took the initiative to hand over the food and drink.

Such behavior simply moved Huo Ye to the point of not wanting it.

He hurriedly took it with both hands and thanked him again and again.

Instinctively, he was ready to chatter a little more to express his gratitude.

Meng Lei raised his hand decisively, strangled his thoughts directly in the cradle, and said helplessly:

"Brother, I still have something to do, you can rest first."

After saying that, he stopped paying attention to the other party, turned around and went back to the driver's seat to sit down.

Then he took out the ledger, glanced at the dialog box on the central control display, and wrote down in the book:

(White Bear: Winter Fleet;

The 50 mile point deposit has been paid and the 50 mile point rental has been paid.

Rental equipment: 8 underwater thrusters, 2 handheld sonar detectors. )

After writing.

Opening the Fortune Rankings list, seeing the ranking of Guixu number return to the top again, Meng Lei suddenly grinned.

Yes, his first large order was finally successfully shipped.

The Winter Fleet of the White Bear was the first major client to collect enough down payment to complete the transaction with Meng Lei.

With this first income, Guixu's current mileage points have climbed to 125 points.

Overall, although not much, it is undoubtedly a good start.

With the continuous development of various fleets, the number of subordinates is increasing.

His future income will continue to expand like a snowball!

In a small way, if each fleet is counted as 50 people, a fleet is rented for 250 miles a day.

The four fleets add up to 1000 points!

What's more, there are already no less than seven or eight fleets that intend to reach cooperation.

It is completely foreseeable how huge the future benefits will be!

"The future is promising, the future is promising!"

Putting away the small ledger, Meng Lei was in a good mood.

I ran to the market and glanced at the shelves. A batch of equipment that was only put on the shelves a few minutes ago was already sold out.

It can be seen that the market demand is quite large.

Seeing that the market heat is still fermenting, Meng Lei strikes while the iron is hot, preparing to get another batch of equipment to hang up.

Get up and go back to the living cabin, and make ten pieces of each of the two pieces of equipment.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered.

In the list of consumables before, I have seen many skill books that can improve their abilities in various aspects.

Huo Ye was quite bored when he was idle there, but he could get him a skill book to read and pass the time.

By the way, you can also see how these skill books work.

Thinking of this, Meng Lei opened the list of consumables and rummaged through it line by line.

After a while, he found a "Basic Maintenance Guide for Ships" among the many skill books.

Literally understood, this book should be able to match Huo Ye's professionalism.

If there is a chance to incorporate Huo Ye in the future, it will be regarded as training his own crew in disguise.

At the moment, Meng Lei decisively spent 20 miles to buy the book.

At the same time, he bought a copy of the Captain's Guide.

Prepare to make up for relevant knowledge when you are bored.

A white light flashed, and two brand-new leather-covered books appeared on the production table out of thin air, and the 40 mileage points were instantly wiped away.

Now Meng Lei has a lot of money, and he doesn't even blink his eyes for this money.

Back to the cockpit with the book.

At this time, Huo Ye had already eaten two grilled fish.

Half-kneeling on the air mattress, holding an empty plastic bottle in his hand, his arms resting on the porthole, he stared blankly at the seascape outside the window.

Hearing the sound of the cabin door, he turned around, smiled at Meng Lei, got up and said:

"Brother Meng, thank you for the grilled fish. To be honest, I have never eaten such delicious grilled fish in my life! Thank you, thank you!"

After a short pause, Huo Ye said again:

"Look, you saved me and invited me to dinner, I really don't know how to repay you.

If there is anything that can be of use to me, just say it! "

From the beginning to the end, Huo Ye has been very sincere, repaying his gratitude, like an honest person.

Meng Lei saw it, and the vigilance in his heart was also waning.

He stepped in front of Huo Ye, handed over the "Basic Maintenance Guide for Ships", and said:

"I don't need your help for now. Our goal now is to hurry and reach the outpost gathering place as soon as possible.

Thinker

You can read this book when you are bored, it may be helpful. "

Huo Ye took the book with the delicate cover with both hands, and said subconsciously:

"You still have magazines on this submarine?! I'll go, it's amazing!"

Meng Lei's mouth twitched, and he was really speechless.

The brain circuits of these five-year-old middle-aged men are really novel.

Helplessly shrugged, turned back to the driver's seat and sat down.

First put the twenty pieces of equipment on the market, and then Meng Lei began to clean up the massive amount of junk private chat information.

The accumulation of meaningless information is too much, which will seriously affect his judgment on potential high-quality customers.

The information provided by Shenlong is relatively complete.

However, in the recent period, there will be other emerging fleets established.

Therefore, in order to expand the large customer base, he can only clean up these private chats and find gold in the garbage.

It has to be said that this workload is quite huge and cumbersome.

Meng Lei didn't clear for a while, and his eyes were almost gone.

At this time, a new message reminder suddenly came from a certain recent chat list.

At first he thought he had read it wrong, but then, another new message reminder was sent.

The two unread messages converged into a red number 2, which looked particularly striking.

Meng Lei suddenly regained his senses.

"Is there another business?"

With anticipation, I hurriedly looked at it.

It was only then that he discovered that the person who sent him the message turned out to be the Shenlong.

Suddenly, a small disappointment arises spontaneously.

Meng Lei is very clear that with the current mileage of the Shenlong, he is definitely not looking for business now.

"Could it be that the salvage of the sunken ship was completed? The efficiency of this Kyushu fleet is quite high!"

Suspiciously murmured in his heart, Meng Lei raised his hand to open the chat box.

After seeing the two messages sent by the other party.

Meng Lei was startled for a moment, then his expression changed, and he subconsciously stood up from the chair.

"SOS?! SOS?!"

"What's the situation, why did the Shenlong send me a distress signal?!"

"With the strength of the Kyushu Fleet, even if it is in danger, there is no reason to need my help?!"

"What happened to them?"

A string of coordinate numbers.

Three simple characters.

Meng Lei was in a daze when he saw the concise, yet completely confusing news.

He was directly fooled by the sudden call for help from the Shenlong.

After pondering for a while, Meng Lei replied suspiciously:

"What's the situation on your side? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Message sent successfully.

However.

A long time passed, but the Shenlong did not respond.

Meng Lei continued to swipe the screen again, and sent several messages one after another to inquire about the situation.

But it was still like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no response from the Shenlong.

An ominous foreboding came to mind.

He faintly realized that 80% of the Kyushu Fleet was in big trouble!

Otherwise, it is impossible for even the fleet command ship to lose contact with the outside world.

At this time.

Huo Ye, who was reading a book with gusto, saw Meng Lei suddenly look wrong, so he hurriedly put down the book, stepped forward and asked:

"Brother Meng, what happened?"

Meng Lei frowned slightly and motioned Huo Ye to look at the central control display.

Huo Ye scratched his head, followed Meng Lei's gaze and looked over suspiciously.

After knowing the general situation, Huo Ye took a deep breath and said inexplicably:

"Shenlong... I have heard that there are many people from their fleet in the communication channel, and they regularly release recruitment information.

In terms of size, it should be a large fleet. "

Huo Ye held his chin with doubts on his face, and said to himself:

"It stands to reason that such a force should not encounter too much trouble?

And even if something went wrong, why would they find you to help? "

After a pause, Huo Ye looked at Meng Lei and asked:

"Brother Meng, do you know the Shenlonghao and the others?"

Meng Lei nodded and said solemnly:

"I'm not very familiar, I talked a few times and made some private transactions."

Huo Ye sighed thoughtfully: "That's weird, since they don't have a deep friendship, why would they ask you for help?"

"I'm also curious, why did they come to me..."

He took out a cigarette case from his clothes pocket, and Meng Lei lit one.

Suddenly remembering something, he gave Huo Ye another one.

Huo Ye was instantly flattered, and while thanking him repeatedly, he took a sip.

It is obvious that this is also an old smoker.

The two men were smoking in the cockpit, looking at the content of the chat dialog, their expressions were solemn, and they were silent for a while.

It's so weird that this happened.

No matter from which angle he thought about it, Meng Lei did not think that the Shenlong had a reason to ask him for help.

The simplest point is.

If you really want to encounter any dangerous situation, and you can't even handle a fleet, what's the use of being a lone wolf?

Shouldn't the captain of the Shenlong think that he can handle a fleet by himself?

That was too much for him.

Although Guixu is famous, it is the leader in the whole channel.

But fame doesn't mean fighting power.

A fleet of dozens of people was wiped out, and calling him in the past was blind.

He couldn't have been asked to collect the corpse in the past.

Therefore, the request for help from the Shenlong Hao is unreasonable.

Meng Lei couldn't find a reason to convince himself and set off to rescue him.

What if this is a trap?

Huo Ye thought for a while, and apparently also considered some possibility, which coincided with Meng Lei's concerns.

"Brother Meng, do you think this is the Shenlong fleet, deliberately set for you?!

I trick you and kill you, then rob your submarine, devour your resources, and eat your business.

Although we can't think of people as bad, but after all, the environment is different.

I think we need to be more careful about everything.

right? "

Huo Ye's remarks really touched Meng Lei's heart.

He believes that his heart is not dark, and all the precautions are just to make himself a better life.

Although I have had a good chat with Shenlong before.

But people are separated from each other. Who knows what kind of person the other party is on the other side of the screen?

After a long silence, Meng Lei took out another cigarette to continue.

Look at the chat box again.

The final message still stayed at the moment he made the inquiry.

The Shenlong seems to be really cold, and there has been no movement.

At this moment, Meng Lei suddenly shifted his gaze to the coordinate point sent by the Shenlong.

After pondering for a while, he entered the coordinates into the automatic navigation terminal.

The results presented are displayed.

That place is nearly 60 kilometers away from where he is now.

It is embarrassing to say that this distance is not far or not.

If you are driving on the highway, you can run past it in less than half an hour.

It can be based on the sailing speed of the Guixu in the sea.

Even at full speed, it would take three or four hours to drive.

This made Meng Lei suddenly feel.

The chance that this message for help is a trap has virtually been greatly reduced.

In order to set himself up, the Shenlong should not be pulling the entire fleet and waiting in place for such a long time.

The key is that the captain of the Shenlong is not completely sure, and he will definitely be fooled.

If you choose to die without help.

Then there are dozens of people in the Kyushu Fleet, isn't he waiting in vain?

I simply communicated this idea with Huo Ye.

Huo Ye thought about it for a while and felt that it was not unreasonable.

"Brother Meng, you are the owner of the Guixu number, you decide."

Huo Ye patted his chest and said boldly:

"If you say go, let's go, if it's a trap, we'll fight them!

Anyway, we also have a fort in our hands, even if we can't beat it, we can pull a few backs on the back.

You saved my old Huo's life, even if I give it back to you, it doesn't matter! "

Huo Ye's remarks are righteous and awe-inspiring, just like a **** man.

Meng Lei listened to it and remembered it in his heart.

For Huo Ye's impression and evaluation, he couldn't help but raise a notch higher.

"Don't worry, it's actually not that exaggerated."

Meng Lei patted Huo Ye on the shoulder, turned his head to look at the sonar display, and said:

"The sonar detection range of the Guixu is two kilometers. If the situation is not right, we can completely avoid contact with it and just turn around and leave. It does not have to be a conflict."

Huo Ye nodded and said solemnly:

"Yes, your submarine's performance is a lot ahead of others.

Even if the Shenlong fleet lays an ambush in advance, it may not be able to keep you. "

After speaking, Huo Ye looked up at Meng Lei:

"Brother Meng, what do you mean... let's go take a look?"

"Um."

Meng Lei nodded and affirmed:

"It's not too far away, just go and take a look. If they are really in danger, they can help if they can. By the way, I can also give us a reminder, so that we can know in advance that even the fleet can't solve it. crisis.”

"Okay, let's go!"

The two discussed it.

In the end, it was decided to temporarily stop moving forward and lend a helping hand to the Shenlong.

Follow the coordinates provided by Shenlong.

The submarine automatic navigation terminal re-planned an optimal route.

Then, Guixu turned the bow, turned a corner and headed in the other direction.

The vast alien ocean is boundless and vast.

The route the Guixu traveled before was just the closest route to the outpost cluster planned by the automatic navigation terminal.

Meng Lei was in a hurry, so he never ran around in the sea.

In fact.

In the depths of this vast ocean, there are too many places to explore and too many resources to mine.

It is possible that the route planned by the navigation happened to be a barren belt.

Along the way, there are only reefs and sediments everywhere, and the resources are few and far between.

It is possible to give up navigation and drive around the surrounding waters to discover a large number of fertile areas.

Meng Lei also realized this for the first time.

In the next few hours after deviating from the original navigation route.

Meng Lei and Huo Ye saw more different scenery.

There are coral trees all over the place, seagrass overgrown, and a vast abyss canyon like a virgin forest.

There are also underwater plains where schools of glowing fish soar freely, and large jellyfish and octopuses fill the sky.

During the period, they even passed an underwater volcano.

For the first time, I saw this deep ocean, an extremely rare natural light source.

All kinds of fantastic and magnificent sights are presented in front of them. After a few hours of voyage, the two of them are not lonely.

In addition, due to the fear of delaying it for too long, it will cause other changes.

Along the way, Meng Lei did not bother to collect many resource points he encountered along the way.

Fortunately, these resources are not particularly rare.

As rare as energy mines, none of them have been found.

As a result, there is a vast sea area of ​​nearly 60 kilometers.

In the full-speed voyage of the Guixu, it quickly crossed over.

By eight o'clock in the evening.

After a brief meal, Meng Lei and the others finally arrived near the coordinate point where the Shenlong was last sent.

During this period, the Shenlong remained silent.

This made it hard for Meng Lei not to wonder if the Shenlong had sunk.

Huo Ye also came to take a look at the communication situation when he had nothing to do. The performance of the Shenlong was really worrying.

"I said, little brother Meng, we won't make a trip in vain, will we?"

Huo Ye looked worriedly at the deadly darkness outside the porthole, and said solemnly:

"It would be a bit of a loss to just come here to collect the corpse after working more than 50 kilometers in one breath."

Meng Lei took a deep breath, shook his head and said:

"If it's just collecting the corpses, I'm not very worried, I'm afraid that the things that will cause the destruction of the Shenlong fleet are still around here.

If this is the case, then instead of collecting the corpses, we will bury them with them! "

Hearing this, Huo Yemeng turned around and walked to Meng Lei's side, and suddenly said:

"Hey~ that's true. I didn't expect this possibility before, so let's be more careful."

While speaking, Guixu kept moving forward, steadily shortening the distance.

Meng Lei stopped talking and stared at the sonar display, for fear of missing any potential threats.

As it approaches.

When the navigation system showed that the distance to the Shenlong coordinate point was about to approach the critical point of two kilometers.

Meng Lei held his breath, sat up straight, and stared at the screen motionless.

finally.

The sound wave scanning of the sonar detector continued to extend into the distance in the dark, and then brought back a series of data feedback information.

finally calculated.

Presented on the three-dimensional virtual topographic map is a very strange picture.

The first thing that catches the eye is a huge orange-red anomaly.

The appearance reflected by the wreck of the Ceres that Meng Lei had seen before was generally the same.

Having had an experience with the Ceres once, Meng Lei naturally realized that this should be the sunken ship that the Shenlong fleet salvaged at that time.

And Huo Ye, who was on the side, had never seen such a thing as a sunken ship.

The first time I saw such a huge and mysterious anomaly, I was shocked on the spot.

"I'm going! What the **** is this?! Why is it so big, shouldn't it be a large sea monster?! The Shenlong fleet just let this thing be destroyed?"

Meng Lei shook his head, motioned for him to be quiet, and explained at the same time:

"This is a sunken ship, and before my last valid call with the Shenlong, they were preparing to start salvage."

Hearing this, Huo Ye still felt incredible and was about to say something.

Meng Lei suddenly raised his hand, motioning him to keep silent.

at this time.

With the continuous feedback of obstacle signals, the picture presented on the three-dimensional topographic map becomes clearer and clearer.

You can see around this huge wreck.

There are oval objects scattered all over the uneven seabed.

From the outline, it is clearly the same as the player's initial wasteland boat!

More than a dozen submarines were scattered around.

Like a major shipwreck, it sank messily on the bottom of the sea, causing infinite suspicion.

in addition.

Above the sunken ship, there are seven or eight submarines quietly suspended.

No sound, no movement.

It was as if time had stood still at this moment, and everything was frozen.

And one of the submarines.

In the vagueness, there is also a red light spot that only abnormal points can be displayed.

A swirl of purple halo lingered on it, looking very evil.

This picture is really weird.

It is impossible to imagine what happened here before.

"This...it seems a little wrong!"

"How come there are abnormal points displayed on that submarine? It shouldn't be!"

Huo Ye took a deep breath, frowned suddenly, and his eyes were full of surprise.

He was about to turn around and pat Meng Lei to ask for Meng Lei's opinion.

When he turned his head, he found it.

At this moment.

Meng Lei's face was unexpectedly solemn, and there was still a deep shock in his eyes!

Yes.

When his eyes locked on that strange oval anomaly.

The prompt introduction given by the golden finger instantly, UU reading www. uukanshu. com made Meng Lei realize the seriousness of this matter.

at the same time.

He also finally knew what happened to the Shenlong fleet.

(At a distance of 1832 meters, an exposed alien relic was found! Please contain it as soon as possible! Please contain it as soon as possible! Please contain it as soon as possible!)

(The source of the relic is unknown, the degree of pollution is average, and it is likely to come from a small alien relic.)

(When the alien relic is exposed to the air, it will cause pollution with different effects depending on the type of the relic. Seawater can block the pollution effect to a certain extent, but it cannot completely eliminate it.)

(The only way to stop the spread of contamination is to put it in a relic storage box!)

(This relic belongs to the category of mental pollution. Once it is exposed to close contact, it will cause serious mental effects on the creature.)

(The direct contact will completely lose their minds in a short period of time and become lunatics controlled by desire and evil.)

(People who are in close and indirect contact will also cause great trauma to the spirit, ranging from coma to mental illness at worst, which is difficult to cure!)

(Alien relics are ancient alien civilizations, unknown products left on this planet. The Alliance Scientific Research Base has conducted a lot of research on them, but has never been able to crack the mysteries.)

(There are rumors that a certain scientific research advance team brought back relevant clues in the deepest part of the ocean in the deep zone.)

(However, with the closure of the channel in the deep area, high-end research materials on alien relics have been completely sealed, but there are still a large number of researchers in the shallow area interested in it.)

(Submitted to the Alien Alliance, can greatly increase the reputation,)

(Or, recruit relevant senior researchers to do their own research to unlock alien civilization technology.)

(Reminder again, the relic is exposed, please contain it as soon as possible!)
