This Game Is Too Realistic Chapter 684: The truth that sank to the bottom of the sea
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of this game is too real!
The night is dark and the sea is rough.
Mouda, who was standing on the bow of the speedboat, was looking intently at the red and green light spots rising and falling with the waves in the distance, and his eyes could not help but be filled with the color of memories.
About two months ago, it was a quiet and peaceful scene. The orange-yellow rollers rose and fell with the fluctuations of the ocean currents, exuding a shimmering light in the sun, just like those growing on the sea. Like a wheat field, the rising and falling waves are its swaying golden color.
Now, the magnificent golden color has become history, just like the disappeared city of Shilong.
Scattered metal parts and burst pipelines sank into the sea together. The generating units were like wild horses that were runaway, washed to pieces by the turbulent waves, and disappeared into the endless sea.
Sometimes, Mu Da couldn't help but think.
Perhaps human beings are such unrepentant animals, they will continue to repeat the mistakes they have made more than once, and repeat the cycle of destruction and rebirth again and again, and finally miss the beauty of the past when everything is irreversible. time.
Maybe one-
The claims of the Torch Church are not entirely wrong.
If you want to eradicate the bad roots in human nature, you can only delete those despicable traits from your genes, and then ascend into another higher-level creature.
My thoughts gradually drifted away with the sea breeze. Mu Da estimated that the time was almost up, so he took out the walkie-talkie and pressed the button.
"This is the maritime patrol. We are about to pass through the blocked area...requesting for clearance."
A burst of noisy electrical sound came from the walkie-talkie, and a rude voice followed by a long yawn.
"Patrol team? What are you doing here?" Mu Dayan said concisely.
"We tracked an abnormal sonar signal, just in case, let's come over here and take a look."
"Okay, do you need reinforcements?"
"It is not necessary at the moment."
"Okay, then keep in touch. If you need reinforcements, we will be there soon."
The voice of the echo in the communication channel was relaxed and pleasant, and he was even chewing potato chips, leaving no doubt about his statement.
It seems that more than two months have passed, and the brothers patrolling this area have finally relaxed.
But it’s no wonder.
This ocean current power station has been destroyed. There is no need for the submarine in Shelter 70 to launch another attack on the facility that has been destroyed once.
The brief exchange ended, Mu Da breathed a sigh of relief and hung up the communication, wiped the sweat from his forehead, then switched the communication channel of the walkie-talkie and lowered his voice.
.The target is under the buoy in front. That's all I can help you. You'd better not stay too long. I can only wait for you for fifteen minutes at most. ”
A moment later, an echo came from the intercom. "Received, thank you."
"You're welcome and wish you good luck.
After speaking, Mu Da waved his hand and signaled the pilot in the cabin to continue moving in the northwest direction and cruise around the buoy not far away.
The sailor standing behind Mu Da, carrying a rifle, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but speak.
"...Why should we help them?" This kind of thing is not without risk.
If they were discovered by the Federation Navy and they were covering a Shelter 70 model submarine into the wreckage of the Ocean Current Power Station, no matter how they explained it, they might not be able to explain it clearly.
Looking at the dark rising tide, Mu Da actually didn’t understand why he agreed to help.
The Federation has already characterized the attack, and the conflict between the survivors on the islands and Vault 70 goes far beyond a power station.
Even if those guys from the alliance found any new clues, he didn't think those clues could change anything.
That was just a trigger. Just one-
He still wants to know what the truth is.
Perhaps there is one ten thousandth of this
Another possibility.
After being silent for a long time in the noisy sea breeze, he slowly spoke.
"It's not just about helping them."
"We are also helping ourselves.
The sailor looked at the officer's back blankly, not knowing what to say for a long time...
At the same time, directly below the speedboat, a drum-shaped submarine was turning its propeller and slowly moving towards the facility sunk on the seabed.
This submarine is exactly the one Huang Guangwei stranded on the beach before.
Researchers from the scientific expedition team not only helped repair the damaged power system and simplified the operating module, but also installed harpoon launchers, underwater grenade launchers, etc. at Sisi's request and transported it by air from Dawn City. Underwater weapons system to Chip Harbor.
Since they have not been tested in actual combat, even the researchers who installed these weapons on the submarines do not know whether these things can work.
However, considering that this mission might be attacked by aquatic mutants lurking under the sea, Sisi chose to take them with him.
At the same time, she also prayed silently in her heart—
Hopefully these guys won't be needed on this mission.
"It's really spectacular here..."
Sitting in the cockpit, Sisi turned on the submarine's searchlight, followed the camera with his eyes, and carefully inspected the metal wreckage that was so close.
I saw a ring with a diameter of more than ten meters deeply embedded in the seabed. In the middle of the ring was a huge metal impeller. At this moment, these impellers, like the metal brackets outside, were covered by out-of-control cables. Tangled, like a sunken ship pulled by seaweed.
This should be the submarine turbine generator of the ocean current power station, and the floating generator floating on the sea and now unknown where it has been washed away should belong to different power systems.
There are dozens of similar turbine generators nearby, and this is just the part she can see right now.
Countless metal debris is scattered on the rocky seabed, and colorful fish pass through the dark shadows from time to time.
This place does not look like the remains of a power station, but like an underwater city that has sunk to the bottom of the sea.
Looking at the area illuminated by the searchlight, Tail, who was sitting in the passenger seat, opened his mouth in surprise, and from time to time he let out an incredulous exclamation.
"My giao...this realistic light and shadow effect!
This flowing texture detail!
There is also this CG-level scene modeling! It’s so awesome!
It's a pity that VM doesn't have a signal, otherwise she really wants to share the scenery here immediately with Sesame Paste and Rourou who stayed on the shore, as well as everyone on the forum.
"A weak current was detected outside the submersible. It seems that a few generator sets are still working... No wonder no alien species are seen here."
Looking at the alarm that was jumping on the central control screen, Si Si operated the searchlight and camera to move to the left side of the submersible, and quickly locked onto an area with no fish activity.
That's probably the source of the leakage.
After marking the area on the map, Sisi looked at the instructions on the aircraft and tapped the screen with his index finger, reset a safe route, and controlled the submersible to carefully circumvent the area. Keep moving towards your goals.
According to the information provided by the resident of Vault 70, the NPC of the scientific expedition team not only helped draw a three-dimensional model of the wreckage of the ocean current power station, but also prepared an exploration path and data collection plan in advance, greatly reducing manual operations. quantity.
After arriving at the target area, she only needs to make some adaptable fine-tuning of the route based on the situation on site.
This task is actually very easy.
So much so that she was thinking that before she finished exploring this ruins, she could stop by and take a look at the coordinates of the sunken research ship "Golden Coast".
Different from Si Si who was always busy with something to do, Tai Tai, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was looking out the window of the cockpit with excitement, wishing he could weld his face and nose to the window together.
The lack of tension in his appearance did not make him look like an investigator on an infiltration mission, but more like a tourist here for sightseeing.
It wasn't until the submarine drove under a turbine generator that she suddenly remembered the mission in progress and looked at Sisdao excitedly.
"By the way! How should we investigate next?"
Staring intently at the three-dimensional map model on the central control screen and the green dot indicating the current position of the submarine, Sisi took a deep breath and said.
"It's very simple. Arrive at the designated area on the map, release the detector, wait for data collection, and then recover the detector."
"Eh?!" Taili looked at Sisi in surprise, "Is it that simple?"
"It's not that simple, there are a lot of dangers here... Wouldn't it be a good thing to be simple? Why are you so disappointed?
Sisi glanced at Awei hastily, looking at the regretful guy, he couldn't help but make a helpless expression.
Meeting those helpless eyes, Taili reached out and scratched the back of his head, smiling sheepishly.
"No way! Of course it's a good thing to be simpler, but if this happens... wouldn't it be necessary to even leave the cabin?"
Sisi thought for a moment and said.
"Probably not necessary."
"Ugh!"
Tail's face showed a deeply shocked expression. He looked at Sisi pitifully and repeatedly confirmed, "But...is it really okay not to check it carefully? What if there is something wrong?" What clues are left hidden in the belly of the fish or behind the rocks—"
"How could there be such a thing?" Looking at this whimsical guy, Sisi couldn't help but complain, "Do you think this is some kind of detective's crime scene?"
For nearly two and a half months, the Federation of the Southern Islands must have carefully investigated and searched this sea area.
In this case, it is unrealistic to expect to discover any new clues that have been missed by the Federation Navy. The most promising clues are those that seem to be ordinary.
For example, the operating data of power stations, etc.
What the alliance's scientific expedition team is best at is digging out clues from massive amounts of data. If there are any suspicious clues, they can tell them at a glance.
After learning that there was no need to leave the cabin for investigation, Awei suddenly felt like a deflated ball and sat listlessly in the passenger seat.
Sisi glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but ask.
"...Speaking of which, this is the bottom of the sea with a depth of more than 100 meters. Aren't you afraid at all?"
Tail gave her a strange look and tilted his head. "Afraid?"
"For example... phobia of the deep sea or something."
Looking at Si Si, who was staring at the central control screen intently, Tai Tai seemed to have guessed something, and the corner of his mouth gradually turned up into a narrow smile.
"Oh! Tails understand! Sisi's weakness is the bottom of the sea!"
"What is this weakness? And how is it possible...There is nothing to be afraid of."
Sisi was stunned for a moment, and almost blurted out his rebuttal, but the sight that was fixed on the central control screen seemed unconvincing.
It was rare to see a good friend look so embarrassed. The teasing smile on Taili's face became more and more obvious, and the raised corners of his mouth became more and more undisguised.
"Then take a look out the window!"
Sisi immediately refused without thinking.
"I don't want it, it's the same as looking at the screen." "Just take a look!"
"Okay, okay... don't make trouble, Owei, we are here, it's time to get down to business!"
As he spoke, Sisi glanced at the parameters in the upper left corner of the central control screen and hurriedly took a picture of the button to launch the detector.
I saw a basketball-sized metal ball ejected from the belly of the stealth gas, flying to the metal debris more than ten meters away with a lead.
The metal ball is getting closer and closer to the interface, and it is about to get closer.
However
At this moment, something embarrassing happened.
I saw the metal ball floating forward suddenly stopped and was caught by the straight lead.
Sisi's expression froze, and he hurriedly looked at the parameters on the central control screen, saying something bad in his heart.
There is still a little distance...
Just when she was about to operate the submersible to get closer, a sudden inrush of ocean current blew the detector holding the data cable upward, and it hung on a piece of metal debris that was tilted. on the propeller blades.
The detector with the lead wire was like a pendulum, making several circles on the propeller blade, and the lead wire was completely wrapped around the blade.
This is more than a little worse.
Noting the gradually serious expression on Sisi's face, Taili also stopped his joking expression and asked cautiously.
"Si, what happened?"
"Nothing, just a small problem. I made a mistake just now and the detector got stuck on the blade. Someone has to go over and pick it off from the blade...Awei, wait here for me."
After all, you still have to wipe your own butt.
After taking a look at the deep darkness outside the cockpit, Sisi swallowed and gritted his teeth and reached for the seat belt.
It’s actually not that scary...
She muttered silently in her mind, trying to convince herself that everything around her was just a game model and there was nothing to be afraid of.
Just when she finally made up her mind to unbuckle her seat belt, she saw that Tai Wei had already stood up from her seat, opened the metal cabinet in the cockpit, and dug out the fully enclosed deep-sea set inside. Wetsuit.
It only took less than a minute to put on the diving suit, and Tai gave a thumbs up to Si Si with great enthusiasm.
"Is it OK to remove that detector from the blade? Leave it to the tail!"
The guy seemed to be rushing to go swimming, and there was no sense of disobedience in changing his decompression diving suit into a life buoy.
Sisi looked at her blankly, and after a while he whispered.
"...Are you okay?" Tails grinned.
"It's a piece of cake!"
After saying that, she walked backwards into the buffer warehouse, made a playful salute gesture, and closed the buffer gate cleanly.
The seawater pouring into the cabin filled the buffer cabin, and then the outer door slowly opened outward.
Spitting out a long string of bubbles, the tail wearing the thick diving suit stood on the edge of the cabin door and kicked its legs, slowly floating out of the cabin, towards the detector wrapped around the blades of the turbine generator. The device leaned over.
This job is certainly not that difficult. It can even be said that it is enough to have hands.
However, Sisi, who was sitting in the cockpit, couldn't help but sweat for Awei.
The deep darkness was like the **** mouth of a monster. I don’t know why this crazy guy wasn’t afraid at all.
Just as she was thinking this, an energetic voice came from the communication channel.
"Oh! It's been solved... Si! What's next?"
Recovering from his daze, Sisi quickly stretched out his index finger and pointed at the central control screen.
"Ah, just move the detector to the interface. I'll send you the location."
"Received!"
I confirmed the position of the interface through the visual window of the helmet's eyepiece, clamped the detector under my elbow with my tail, then started the small propeller installed on the back of the diving suit with a whoosh, and swam towards the marked position. passed.
It was a terminal welded to a metal bracket.
The screen has failed, but the wiring is still intact.
Tail brought the detector close to it, and soon two mechanical arms stretched out from the sides of the metal ball, grabbed the terminal, and fixed themselves firmly on it like a spider.
Then you just need to leave it to it.
Tail let go of his hand and floated back
From a short distance, I watched the little guy connected to the terminal operate and connect the thread originally connected to the terminal screen to his round body.
Sisi, who was sitting in the cockpit, breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the progress bar on the central control screen.
"Data transmission is in progress...it will take about 5 minutes. Ah Wei, how is the situation over there?"
The tail floating next to the detector waved its arm vigorously towards the bright searchlight, and then a dull voice came from the communication channel.
"Oh! Everything is normal. It's so quiet here!" I always feel like there is something bad hidden in the dark waters,
Sisi said worriedly.
"The detector has been connected...Awei, why don't you come back first."
"Don't worry, I'll wait until the data transfer is completed. What if something unexpected happens?"
"Probably...not so much." As he spoke, Sisi swallowed unconsciously.
However, the imperceptible pause was heard by someone on the other end of the communication channel.
A narrow smile suddenly appeared on his face, and his tail said with a mischievous smile.
"Eh? Could it be that Sisi is scared?"
Sisi was stunned for a moment, and his face turned red the moment he reacted.
"What are you talking about, me, what do I have to be afraid of!"
My right hand touched under the heavy decompression helmet, leaning against the tail next to the metal bracket, and made a motion of rubbing my chin with my index finger.
"It's a bit weird. Sisi, who works in the morgue, is actually afraid of something!"
"What a morgue! This is the pathology department!"
Listening to the voice coming from the communication channel, Sisi explained in a dumbfounded manner. However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sudden call of alarm.
"Hey! There's something down there!"
Sisi was stunned for a moment and quickly sat up from the chair.
"Are you kidding? Stop joking at this time!"
"No, I'm serious. It seems like there's something out there. Look around with your searchlight. Don't keep pointing it at me!"
Almost the moment Awei finished speaking, a slight tremor penetrated through the bilge of the submarine and climbed up to her ankles from far to near.
Sisi was startled, as if realizing this mistake that he shouldn't have made, he quickly lowered the searchlight and shined it directly below the submarine.
That beam of light was like a sharp sword piercing the darkness, piercing into a dark abyss.
The moment she illuminated the abyss, she discovered an amber pupil hidden in the huge rock basin, staring at her intently.
That eye is the size of a truck.
A gray-black tentacle as thick as a bucket floated behind it, like vines wrapped around the wall, covering the rocky seabed.
When did this guy move here? ! Or...
It's always there!
A bone-deep cold crawled up Sisi's back.
The combination of fear of the deep sea and tentacles made her heartbeat stop for a while.
The tremors coming through the cabin became more and more intense, and the seawater around the submarine seemed to be boiling.
She knows--
That is the silent roar of this deep sea beast!
"I giao! Tentacle monster?!"
The sound of tail made Sisi wake up suddenly, and she roared loudly almost out of reflex.
"Awei! Protect the detector!"
As she finished speaking, she decisively cut off the traction rope between the submersible and the detector, regardless of the progress bar that was already halfway there.
Facts have proved that her judgment was correct.
Almost the moment she cut the traction rope, a roaring black shadow hit the side of the submarine.
The submarine hovering next to the wreckage instantly seemed to have been shot high into the air
Like a golf ball, turn over
It rolled and flew out, and did not stop until it hit a metal support heavily.
The metal bracket was bent due to the impact, and an overwhelmed creaking sound came through the bulkhead of the submarine, along with a muffled sound that landed on the top of the submarine.
Shaking his groggy head, Si Si reluctantly woke up from his coma. With his remaining consciousness, he adjusted the output power of the power system to the maximum, and quickly launched the submarine before the alloy structure above fell. Driving out of the dangerous area.
Almost as soon as she drove less than ten meters away, rolling mud swayed not far behind the submersible, and the collapsed metal fragments slowly but surely buried the rocks below.
If she hadn't reacted quickly enough, she might have been in danger. "Huh...
Sisi, who was leaning on the seat, was breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling violently.
Without any time to hesitate, she stared intently at the central control screen with the traffic light flashing wildly. The searchlight and camera she operated quickly scanned the seabed below, while circling towards the north side of the ruins, she hurriedly searched for the bird. Traces of sea monsters.
The guy seemed to have disappeared. There was no trace.
But Sisi knows very well that that guy is definitely still around here, and he is hiding somewhere near the ruins of this power station!
"...Tail! Are you okay?" There was no answer in the communication channel.
Scattered metal debris is everywhere, as well as cables floating around the turbine generator, forming a natural shielding field.
"Cut..."
Clenching his teeth, Sisi punched the armrest of the chair, then extended his index finger to tap on the screen, resetting the route back to the center of the ruins.
The data transfer has not been completed and the original data is still stored in the detector.
If it is transported bit by bit through small water pipes with wireless transmission, the huge data may have to be transmitted until the end of the year.
Not to mention possible packet loss!
The only way now is to take the detector back.
It seems that she sensed the movement on the bottom of the sea. At the same time that she rushed to the center of the ruins again, the NPC named Mu Da sent a communication request.
While staring at the dark seabed warily, Sisi reached out and pressed the switch button.
As soon as the communication was connected, the roar of fried wheat reached her ears.
"What are you doing?! Testing nuclear weapons?!"
With no time to talk nonsense with this guy, Sisi took a deep breath and focused on the key points.
"Monster! There is a sea monster here...with many tentacles! It's somewhere under the ruins of the Ocean Current Power Station!"
The other end of the communication channel was stunned for half a second.
"Sea monster?! How is that possible! The large alien species will not come near that area at all, there are still power turbines working there——"
Sisi: "Here's the problem! Because of the current, fish usually won't enter the ruins at all, but something forced that big guy to stay inside. I suspect it's about to starve to death... .I think it’s psychic interference, what do you think?”
Muda exclaimed.
"Psychic interference?! How is it possible!"
Sisi: "No time to explain...the thing that controls that thing should be around here. Do you have any way to locate other mind interference devices? If you can, it will be of great help!"
Muda roared and shouted: "Don't worry about the mind interference device for now, come up here quickly!"
Listening to the anxious voice of the NPC, Sisi said calmly.
"My teammate is still down there, and I will never abandon her. And the detector... I have to get that thing back, even if I die!"
"Are you crazy?! That's our war! It's ours! You don't have to risk your life for it!"
Muda's eyes widened as he stood on the speedboat. He held the walkie-talkie tightly in his right hand and roared with all his strength.
However, there was no echo from the other end of the communication channel, leaving only dead silence.
The noisy waves are like
The same rapid drum beat drowned the white foam that kept pouring out of the sea.
He couldn't understand.
What are these guys doing so hard for? The total time they have known each other is less than half a month!
And this short half month cannot be said to be very pleasant.
I don’t know how many people are waiting to see those people’s jokes, I don’t know how many people
I wish they could get out of here immediately and go back to their wasteland.
Mu Da gritted his teeth and tightly clenched the echoless walkie-talkie in his hand.
What to say about ending the wasteland..
Who cares about that kind of thing!
At least here, no one cares at all!
Taking a deep breath, Mu Da suddenly seemed to have made up his mind and turned around and shouted in the direction of the cockpit.
"Turn off the mind interference device!"
The sailor standing in the cockpit was stunned.
Psychic interference devices are their tools to drive away alien species.
If they turn that thing off, they are at risk of being overturned at any time.
"But one-"
The sailor tried to dissuade him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was pushed back by the commander's roar.
"I said! Turn it off! Now!"
"Yes!" Facing the officer's murderous gaze, the sailor did not dare to hesitate. He could only hastily turn off the mind interference device and silently pray in his heart that no alien species would target them.
Muda quickly walked into the cabin and pushed him away, staring at the terminal screen.
After the mind interference device was turned off, there was silence on the screen, as if it was broken.
Muda held his breath and waited anxiously.
At this moment, an undetectable ripple suddenly appeared on the screen as calm as water, just like a dragonfly crossing the water.
The moment he saw the ripples, his heart suddenly jumped to his throat.
That's the signal from the mind interference device - is it true? !
Not only Muda was shocked, but also the sailor standing next to him, with incredible shock on his face.
The only psychic interference device within ten miles is on their speedboat.
Where does the signal come from? ! "Lock its position!"
After saying this, Mu Da opened the door and walked out of the cockpit, shouting at another sailor on the speedboat and continuing to shout.
"Depth charge preparation!"
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, the sailor swallowed and nodded quickly.
"Yes!"
