Deep Sea Survival: Start a Submarine (Deep Ocean Survival: A Submarine From The Start)

Chapter 90: "Sleeping Beauty" at 20,000 meters deep

A hysterical roar of filial piety came from Eugene's mouth.

He was held on the back by Simon, who was big and three, and was pressed to the ground.

However, he still struggled to raise his head and stared at Meng Lei viciously with his eyes full of resentment.

He kept roaring out various vicious curses with religious colors, which made people shudder.

He is in such a state of extreme madness right now,

It's hard to associate him with the introverted, shy young man from before.

After hearing the sound of the clown's horn, Eugene's transformation in spirit and character was completely different!

Meng Lei looked down at Eugene with a sneer on his face.

To be honest, he was a little surprised that the clown hidden in the crew was caught so easily.

Originally, I was thinking of playing a deep-sea werewolf killing, which cost a lot of money.

Unexpectedly, the appearance of the clown horn immediately ended the entire game, but instead made him suddenly feel a little dull.

"Okay, confiscate everything on him, tie it up and lock it in the crew room."

Meng Lei waved to Huo Ye and Simon.

"Captain, just lock him up? Then what?"

There was frost on Simon's rough face, and his tone was a little surprised, surprised by Meng Lei's actions.

"Then?"

Meng Lei glanced at Eugene and snorted coldly:

"Then wait until the outpost, and then hand him over to the Alliance, what, or do you really plan to let him have an outdoor swim?"

Although he hated Eugene's behavior very much, Meng Lei would not make that kind of inhuman punishment.

After all, he is a big living person after all.

Let him personally push a person into the abyss, with his current thinking and mentality, he can't do it so ruthlessly.

But Simon and the others seemed to have long been accustomed to this kind of behavior, and lifted Eugene from the ground carelessly, and said viciously:

"If you want me to say, this guy should be thrown into the sea!

If you go back and report an accidental death, the league will not investigate. "

Having said this, he turned to look at Eugene again, and asked angrily:

"Damn guy, we didn't provoke you, you actually want to kill us all! What the **** are you thinking?!"

Eugene's expression remained contorted.

He couldn't even see any blood on his face, and there was a strange madness in his paleness.

Staring at Simon coldly, Eugene laughed hysterically:

"You should be honored to be chosen by me to be the sacrifice of Our Lady of the Clown!

The time is coming, the Virgin is about to wake up, and the souls imprisoned in the body will bloom!

You cannot escape, everyone will eventually return to the embrace of Our Lady, this is your destiny! "

Hearing this, Meng Lei frowned slightly.

"Our Lady of the Clown? What is that? A cult leader?"

Before Meng Lei could ask, Huo Ye took the lead in asking.

For this question, Eugene still laughed wildly and answered:

"You will see it! All will see it!"

Next,

No matter what everyone said, Eugene repeated this sentence over and over again, and couldn't ask anything.

In desperation, Meng Lei could only give up.

He waved his hand and motioned Simon to take Eugene down and watch him strictly.

Meng Lei called Hans, returned to the command room, and asked the doubts that had been bothering him for a long time.

"What kind of organization is this clown? How can you spawn such a group of lunatics?"

Hans shook his head, with a helpless expression on his face, and said:

"I'm not very clear about the specific situation. The origin of the clown has been around for a long time, and it can even be traced back nearly a hundred years ago!"

"Huh! So long?!"

Meng Lei was also shocked when he heard it.

But on second thought, it wasn't really surprising.

The time when the Ceres wrecked was seven or eighty years ago, and the Joker already existed at that time.

And listening to the tone of the captain of the Ceres, it seems that the clown only appeared during that time.

But after all these years, the organization still exists and remains active.

Such tenacious vitality is indeed incredible.

At this time, Hans nodded and continued:

"There were magazines that conducted investigations on clown organizations before, and I remember they mentioned,

According to some very old documents and records, at the beginning of the establishment of the alliance,

The existence of the clown is an attempt to relieve emotions and help people cope with the mental stress and negative state brought by the deep sea environment.

The league hopes to use the joker's funny behavior pattern to relieve the pressure of the pioneers in the deep zone.

But then this attempt and experiment seemed to have some kind of change, causing an outpost in the deep area to lose contact.

When the investigators arrived, only a few blood-stained clown suits were found on the scene, scattered in every corner of the outpost, and everyone disappeared! "

Hearing this, Meng Lei couldn't help but take a deep breath and said solemnly:

"So weird?"

Hans nodded and continued:

"Yeah! So far, no one knows what happened to that deep zone outpost.

And since that incident, the Joker seems to have disappeared for a long time.

Later, when the phenomenon of space tides and the hyperspace environment were confirmed,

Some claim that,

When salvaging a sunken ship in the deep area, a woman in a clown suit was found in one of the crew rooms.

The woman was not infected by the painted skin parasite, and slept peacefully in the high-pressure environment of the deep sea.

With the arrival of the salvage personnel, the woman was suddenly awakened,

Then, like a madman, he fled the scene hysterically..."

Speaking of which,

With a touch of horror on his face, Hans gestured towards Meng Lei to swim:

"She didn't wear a diving suit, she just used her hands and feet and swam away like a fish!

You know, it was in the deep sea at a depth of nearly 20,000 meters, and she only wore a clown suit, nothing else!

Everyone was stunned and thought there was a collective hallucination.

At that time, the alliance had launched a massive investigation, but with the collapse of the deep waterway, a lot of information was buried.

So people took that incident as a legend, and no one knew whether it was true or not. "

After a pause, Hans scratched his head,

It seems that I don't understand it, and I am ambiguous:

"But some people noticed that it seems that since then,

Between the level area and the shallow area, people in clown costumes began to appear in various gathering places and outposts.

I don't know if the appearance of these clowns has anything to do with that woman. "

Hearing this, Meng Lei was also shocked.

My dear, the deep sea with a depth of nearly 20,000 meters is almost completely forbidden to life. That super pressure is enough to shatter everything!

But in such a place, there is actually a "Sleeping Beauty" in a clown costume?

Why does something like this sound so mysterious?

This is beyond the scope of basic physics and biology, right?

"And then? Did that woman ever appear again? How did the other clowns come about? What was their purpose?"

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Meng Lei curiously asked a series of questions.

Hans shrugged and said with a helpless expression:

"Captain, it's just a legend, no one knows its authenticity, and there are no other witness records.

However, many people suspect that the woman who was found in the sunken ship may be the so-called Madonna of the Clown!

Because since the legend began, those guys in clown costumes have frequently appeared in major gathering places.

At first, these clowns didn't show any malice, but their behavior was a little weird,

Like inexplicable honking at people, or unscrupulous graffiti on the walls.

But then I don't know since when, their behavior began to become weird.

Sometimes they wreak havoc in outposts, plant explosives, armed raids, and go on a spree in the Flesh Mill.

Sometimes, they are also very kind.

Help the transport ship unload the cargo for free, bring food to those who are about to starve to death, station at the beacon station without payment, and maintain the normal operation of the beacon...

and many more…

Their behavior is so polarizing, it's a love-hate relationship!

Some people speculate that these clowns are also divided into two factions, the good and the bad. We should win over the good clowns and suppress the bad clowns.

Others believe that these clowns do not have factions at all,

Their behavior is completely random and depends on the state of mind at the time!

Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the gathering place, the alliance decided to treat all clowns equally and suppress all aspects.

After all, no one knows what crazy actions these lunatics will make in the next second.

Therefore, clowns are rarely seen in the gathering place now.

Most of them are on the transport ships between the various channels, or on bounty ships.

But occasionally they appear in gathering places, but once they do appear, they will soon be hunted down by security officers.

But most of the time, before the security officer arrives, they disappear inexplicably..."

After saying such a long series of words, Hans took a breath and asked Meng Lei for a cigarette.

After lighting it, he took a deep breath and sighed:

"As to how these clowns came to be, no one knows.

After a lot of investigation by the league, it was found that some of these guys dressed as clowns were never registered.

That is to say, they grew up outside of the Union's jurisdiction.

Either born in an independent colony or separatist rebel outpost, or from elsewhere.

Perhaps it is the deep area that has long been lost?

Perhaps the mysterious hyperspace realm?

Nobody knows.

Of course, there are also some clowns who are natives under the rule of the Alliance.

But the reason and process of their transformation are still a mystery.

And their purpose is even more unknown.

This is originally a group of complete lunatics, and there is absolutely no logic in behavior..."

In the smoke, Meng Lei's eyes narrowed slightly.

Hans has said so much, in fact, it can be summed up in one word at the end.

Know nothing!

Yes, to put it bluntly that's it.

The origins of the Jokers, and their purpose, are all speculation based on some rumors.

There is no reliable and strong evidence to explain the existence of the clown organization.

But one thing is certain.

The original first batch of clowns should be related to an experiment that the alliance once carried out.

Although the original intention of this experiment is positive, it tries to alleviate the psychological state of human beings that may suffer from pathological changes in the deep-sea environment for a long time.

But the final result undoubtedly proved that the alliance failed.

The appearance of these clowns may be the product of some kind of accident.

As for the legendary "Sleeping Beauty" in the deep sea, Meng Lei originally scoffed.

In his view, this legend is completely nonsense.

Not to mention the flesh-and-blood carbon-based creatures like humans, the deep sea is 20,000 meters, and even Transformers will have to be crushed into a pile of scrap iron!

This is simply impossible!

However, Eugene's fanatical and determined attitude made him feel a little unusual.

The female clown sleeping in the deep sea, combined with the title of the Clown Virgin, is hard not to make people think deeper.

After a long silence, Meng Lei took these messy thoughts out of his mind.

Members of these extreme churches will launch a representative spiritual belief to pay for their extreme behavior.

Whether the Virgin of the Clown exists or not has no meaning to Meng Lei.

The league has not figured out the problem for decades, why is he wasting so many brain cells here?

It's sheer self-inflicted harassment.

Eugene was caught, and the hidden danger on the ship was temporarily lifted.

But at this time, something happened, and everyone was not in the mood to sleep anymore.

So Meng Lei arranged for Huo Ye and Simon to take turns to guard.

Then drive the Sea Locust and continue to drive forward.

When it was more than eight in the morning, everyone arrived at a barren sea with strange rocks.

The sea environment of this place is a bit like the sea near the birth point when Meng Lei first crossed.

On the barren seabed, in addition to the dark sand and messy coral reefs, there are criss-crossing seafloor fissures everywhere.

These fissures are deep and the environments within them are complex.

Sonar detectors can only detect terrain at a depth of about seventy or eighty meters at most.

Further down, the signal feedback information is quite confusing, and it is impossible to analyze the detailed topographic map.

And the task of cleaning up the Xunmenglong lair issued by the alliance is in this dark and deep seabed fissure.

"Old Huo, Simon, pack up and get ready to work!"

Meng Lei hovered the Sea Locust on the surface of the seabed, turned and walked out of the cockpit.

The mission coordinates provided by the alliance are where he is currently parked.

only,

The location of the swamp swift and fierce dragon's lair is in a cave below, and they need to explore in the dark on their own.

Originally, this task did not require Meng Leiqi to do it himself.

However, considering that Goldfinger is in the process of exploring the nest, it may be able to avoid some potential dangers in advance.

Therefore, Meng Lei decided to follow the team into the water.

Escort the other team members.

"Hans, Jia Quan! I'll leave that guy Eugene to you, keep an eye on him, don't let him do any tricks!"

Before launching into the water, Meng Lei specially warned the few people left behind.

Hans and Jia Quan swore and patted their chests, promising to complete the task and never let that grandson make any trouble.

At this time, Gina walked over with graceful steps.

His slender, fair fingers were playing with a syringe, and he could faintly see some unknown medicinal liquid remaining in it.

She leaned lazily against the wall on the side of the cabin and smiled at Meng Lei.

"Don't worry, young captain, I've given him an injection.

At least he will never wake up until he arrives at the Rongyan Outpost, so you can go in peace. "

Meng Lei was stunned for a moment, then a look of joy appeared on his face, and he gave Gina a thumbs up.

"Good job, nice job!"

Due to Gina's neurotic personality, Meng Lei didn't like to be in contact with her.

Therefore, in many cases, her existence will be ignored unconsciously.

But I have to say that this crazy woman has finally done a real thing since she got on the boat.

Putting Eugene into a coma did reduce a lot of trouble.

At the moment, Meng Lei no longer delays.

Together with Huo Ye, Hawke, and Simon, put on diving suits and bring their weapons.

Including hand-held thrusters and hand-held sonar, as well as signal buoys that can not be affected by slight water currents, etc., walked neatly towards the airlock room.

"Brothers, let's go!"

...

Channel 66671, Rongyan Outpost.

Administrative area on the second floor, the stationmaster's office.

"Dongdongdong!"

A rhythmic knock on the door rang out, echoing in the empty corridor.

Station Master Bud Hull put down the document in his hand, threw it on the table, cleared his throat, and shouted:

"Enter!"

The door opened and Eddie, the secretary, stepped in.

Then, he closed the door gently, and came to Bud's desk with a touch of excitement that could not be hidden on his face.

"Eddie, why are you so happy?"

Bud, who is in his forties, is bloated and has a thick cigar in his mouth.

It doesn't look like a politician, but more like a fat-headed businessman.

After seeing the expression on Eddie's face, Bud realized that something good must have happened, so he couldn't help but smile.

However, under the background of the fat face,

The smile looked very greasy and disgusting.

Eddie stepped forward, as if he had some secret to report, lowered his voice, and whispered in a decibel that only two people could hear:

"Master, the batch of things has arrived!"

"Something? What?"

Hearing this, Bud didn't react for the first time, and there was a trace of confusion on his face.

Eddie took a deep breath and reminded:

"The batch of eggs bought from the Huangsha waters of Channel 66645! Just received a notice that the cargo ship has docked and can be unloaded!"

Hearing this, Bud's face showed a glimpse of surprise.

Immediately, his eyes lit up, and he said calmly:

"Not bad, not bad! After waiting for so many days, it's finally here!"

Although the expression on his face didn't change much, his shining eyes revealed the true emotions in his heart.

After a pause, Bud enjoyed a cigar and asked:

"How much is this batch? What is the effect?"

Eddie made a good gesture to Budby, and then said:

"A total of 100 pieces were put in this time. It is said that they flowed out from a certain biological research institute in the flat area.

The effect is stronger than ordinary eggs, and the incubation period is shorter!

The seller has done an experiment, and it took less than six hours for a crawler to go from infection to complete parasitism!

If it works on the human body, it only takes about an hour!

Moreover, ordinary worm net can only play a temporary inhibitory effect, and cannot be completely eradicated.

As long as we can ensure the smooth infection of the first batch of parasites,

Next, it will soon spread to the whole city! "

Hearing this, Bud nodded with satisfaction and said three good words in a row.

He wanted to stand up and move about, but in order to prevent the partition wall from having ears, he finally held back, sitting on a chair and whispering:

"Has everyone made arrangements?"

Eddie nodded and said:

"The security officers of the second-floor administrative area have all been replaced by members of our separation organization.

After the plan is implemented, they will be gathered in the second-floor administrative area in the name of a meeting to protect the safety here.

At that time, others will be dispatched to the lower commercial area on duty, which will not affect our plans! "

heard,

Bud's mouth full of fat, raised an arc with difficulty, and said with a sinister smile:

"good!

If this thing is done beautifully, it will not only bring us millions of marks, but also use it as an excuse to further shake the stability of the alliance.

Now that the predicted Blue Star player has arrived, the alliance will inevitably fall into chaos for a period of time.

We can just take this opportunity to suppress the alliance regime and enhance the influence of the organization! "

After a pause, Bud looked at Eddie and said solemnly:

"You should know that the plan this time was actually inspired by the organization.

Therefore, there must be no mistakes! "

"Yes!"

Eddie nodded heavily,

Then, a look of regret suddenly appeared on his face, and he sighed:

"However, after the plan is completed, I am afraid that this rock-melting outpost will be abandoned, and you will no longer be able to stay in the position of the station master.

After staying here for so many years, I suddenly feel a little reluctant to…”

Bud laughed, raised his stout arm and patted Eddie's shoulder lightly, and said earnestly:

"It's abolished, we've been lurking for so many years, isn't it just for this moment?

Besides, when the eggs of thousands of people in the city are sold,

With millions of marks in our pockets, where can we go and be happy?

At that time, I am afraid that you will be singing every night, where is there so much reluctance? "

Eddie nodded noncommittally, just as he was about to say something, a hint of hesitation suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Then, before he could speak, Bud explained:

"By the way, the shaft passage leading to the administrative district and the wharf, don't forget to destroy it in advance!

Lest they run upstairs to take refuge, or fall off the dock.

You must know that if you infect one more person, you will earn nearly 2,000 marks more, so be careful!

In addition, the distance to the nearest beacon station should be done one step ahead.

The later the Alliance knows about it, the better our chances of success! "

"Yes!"

Eddie nodded again.

Then, Bud remembered something again, and warned again:

"Also, when choosing the first batch of parasites, give priority to those security officers in the business district.

Infect them first, and the lower area will lose its firepower support.

The rest of the defenseless residents and bounty hunters are nothing to worry about! "

When he said this, Bud didn't have any mood swings.

It seems that to him, those lively lives are just commodities without thought, just a bargaining chip for him to achieve his goals and make money.

Eddie took a deep breath and said solemnly:

"Knowing the stationmaster, I will arrange everything properly!"

"Um."

Bud smiled and looked at Eddie and waved:

"Go and prepare, if all goes well, we will be able to witness a carnival feast tonight!"

"Yes!"

Eddie nodded heavily, turned and left the stationmaster's office.

Eddie went down to the commercial area on the first floor through the shaft elevator in the administrative area on the second floor.

He did not immediately carry out what Bud explained, but walked quickly towards the living area next to the business district.

Due to population and building area constraints, Rongyan Outpost does not divide the commercial and living areas into two floors like Sear City.

The commercial and living areas here are on the same floor.

There is only one gate blocking the two areas.

After arriving at the living area, Eddie went straight to a small single-family building on the edge.

He knocked on the door, and the door opened from the inside.

It was a pretty girl in her early twenties who opened the door.

"Eddie? Why are you back?"

The girl looked at Eddie with a suspicious look, a little unclear.

Eddie took a deep breath, stepped forward to hold the girl's delicate face, stared at each other tightly, and said with a very serious expression:

"Lin, don't ask anything, don't say anything, remember my words!

Don't bring anything before five o'clock this afternoon, take your ID card, and wait for me in the upper borough!

Remember, no matter what happens, be sure to be in the borough before five o'clock, not on the ground floor!

Remember? ! "

The girl nodded somewhat bewilderedly, her eyes were full of confusion, but she still said obediently:

"Okay...I...I see."

"Um!"

Eddie breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the girl's affirmative reply.

Just as he was about to turn to leave, he suddenly stopped, turned and kissed the girl's bright red lips.

"gone!"

Afterwards, Eddie only left these two words for the girl, and then left quickly.

The slightly messy and hurried back quickly disappeared into the steel jungle leading to the business district.

...

From the outpost of Rongyan, in the dark deep sea nearly 100 kilometers away.

Meng Lei and Huo Ye were using tactical flashlights~lightnovelpub.net~ to shuttle through the narrow and cramped seafloor fissure.

Although this sea area looks relatively barren on the surface, it can be deeply hidden in the underground cracks under the seabed.

However, it can be found that the ecological structure below is actually quite rich.

A large number of shimmering algae are clinging to the smooth raised rock walls, reflecting the shimmer like fireflies in the dark, flickering all around.

It was some kind of fish with light-emitting organs that used itself as bait to attract prey.

Or, become prey to other creatures.

There are also some corals that grow recklessly in the dark, proudly stretching their branches, swaying freely with the flow of water, ignoring any vision.

This is a beautiful water world that never shows, with an independent, rich and complete ecosystem.

However, it was dark and hidden under a barren seabed full of sand.

If it was normal, Meng Lei might linger on this beautiful scenery.

But now, he is not in that mood.

Because he is very clear, hidden under this gentle and beautiful appearance, is a deadly murder!

Here, there is a lair of the Swamp Swift Dragon.

Although the rich ecological environment provides abundant living space for a large number of creatures, it has also become a natural breeding ground for nurturing alien sea monsters.

"Lonely Step into a Fairy"

Therefore, all the way down, he did not pay attention to the surrounding scenery at all.

All my attention was focused on the handheld sonar display around my waist.

At a certain moment, when everyone's diving depth was nearly 100 meters below the surface of the seabed.

On the sonar display, several abnormal points of activity finally appeared.

Meng Lei was instantly refreshed and roared in his earphones:

"Attention everyone, prepare to fight!"
