Chapter 352 343 Such Long Legs
Chapter 352 343. Very long legs
At a depth of 4510 meters, the speedometer slowly returned to zero.
Chu Zihang and Caesar looked at each other. The huge heart palpitations made them uneasy, as if someone was pressing the blade of a steel knife into their chests, and their hearts were beating like thunder in their chests.
Under the control of EVA, the deep submersible Ditrieste was steadily suspended at a depth of 4,500 meters in the Sea of Japan. Dim firelight shone out from the portholes, and the whole world fell silent.
"Command center, we are close to the boundary of Longwei Domain. Everything on the Diryste is operating normally, but Chu Zihang and I are not in good mental condition. It seems that we have..." Caesar reported to the sea softly. situation, "a huge unease."
"That's the spiritual suppression of the hybrids by the dragons. Your bloodline can be classified as S-level after accepting the Nibelung Plan, but it will still be affected. This means that the depths of the Abyss are sinking. At least it is a second-generation species that is sleeping." The person who responded to Caesar's call was not the man named Cheng Shuangfan, but the bright blue girl who appeared on the screen.
When the Dieste arrived at the predetermined area, EVA took over the command and dispatch power from Cheng Shuangfan again.
For example, those emperors in ancient China who conquered the world from their war horses always felt uneasy about handing their people and armies into the hands of others during wars that could determine the life or death of their empire.
"Understood, what should we do next?"
"Release drones No. 3 to 10 and explore downwards step by step. Please do not have any psychological burden, and do not dive without permission. Each drone has a high-yield weapon inside its abdomen. "Alchemical sulfur bombs, all you have to do is to remotely control these drones through electromagnetic communication, cable communication and medium and long wave communication, and make them explode above the embryos." EVA's face did not show much expression. Only in front of Lu Mingfei would she show her side of herself as a girl. In the eyes of Caesar, Chu Zihang and even the big shots on the school board, EVA was just a person with supreme power in the computer field. AI.
Caesar's expression changed. Before the dive mission, the academy did not tell them that the drones carried by the Dirieste carried a powerful alchemical sulfur bomb on every sortie.
Sure enough, they shouldn't trust those crazy idiots in Watt Alheim.
At this time, Chu Zihang had unscrewed the valve of the watertight cabin, and the automatic elevator pushed eight drones stacked in the launcher into the pressurized cabin.
"Wait a minute, the Trieste is equipped with twelve underwater drones, why did we only dispatch it to the tenth?" Caesar frowned.
"If all attempts to control underwater drones to bomb embryos outside Longwei's territory fail, perhaps the school will eventually make the decision to let the Ditryste continue to dive. You don't want to be really Are you forced to use the powerful power source in the submersible's power chamber as a nuclear bomb?"
Both Caesar and Chu Zihang fell silent.
The remaining two drones are actually the last two bombs left by the Dirieste. In fact, the executive department has already made a calculation in their minds. Compared with killing a dangerous ancient dragon, even if the price may be the highest in the history of the academy. The best A-level hybrids and heirs of the Gattuso family are also included.
"If a deep submersible is needed to enter the Longwei field, how high is our survival rate?" Chu Zihang's expression did not change much. He just pressed the button to release the drone from the pressurized cabin, and the display immediately expanded into a split screen. mode, the images returned by up to sixteen cameras appear on the left side of the split screen.
One small window after another is full of turbulent black sea water. The gas mine loaded on the drone cannot illuminate an area that is too far away. There is nothing in the visual range, only the thin sea snow is still withering.
This feeling is like walking alone on the edge of hell and earth, and the whole world has forgotten you.
"3.67%." EVA's cold voice poured into Chu Zihang's ears, and Caesar beside him actually breathed a sigh of relief.
"I thought we would be dead if we did that." Caesar shrugged, "There is still a 3% survival rate, which is actually not bad. My luck has always been good."
Master Gattuso's luck is certainly not bad. Whichever horse he buys will definitely stand out from the competition, because there are servants of Gattuso's family hidden in the crowd, and they will drug other good horses in advance. ; He hopes that what happens will always come true, because Mr. Frost can even spend 30 million US dollars on Shrek just to make his dear nephew happy.
But Jiyuan does not recognize money. The eight-thousand-meter-deep seawater will crush a poor ordinary person to death, but they will not give up crushing Caesar just because the Gattuso family is willing to pay a high price. Everyone in front of death All are treated equally.
"But it's not that there is no good news at all so far." Chu Zihang quietly stared at the small window on the display screen, his eyes unblinking.
"The two of us are not lovers. It complies with the rules and regulations of the Executive Department that couples cannot act together when conducting dive missions."
"So if you confess your love to me now, we can be pulled up and out of this hellish place immediately." Caesar said.
Chu Zihang slowly looked at Caesar, "It's okay if you don't complain about this." The corners of his eyes twitched.
"You started it first." Caesar held a cigar in his mouth, "Do you mind if I smoke one?"
"It doesn't matter. The submersible has an air filter and we have plenty of oxygen." Chu Zihang said.
The Trieste carries four full-capacity oxygen tanks, enough for the two of them to stay underwater for eight hours.
The drone is slowly diving at a tentative speed. This location is just above the Japan Trench. Geologically speaking, it is the result of the Pacific Plate colliding with the Eurasian Plate. This collision caused the uplift of the Eurasian Plate - the formation of the Himalayas is the same principle. In ancient times, it was still an ocean.
At the junction of the two plates, the ocean plate subducted into the mantle and melted, forming a very deep trench. The deepest part of the Japan Trench is called the Tuscarora Deep, with a depth of 8,513 meters, which was once considered the deepest place in the world.
Now below the Trieste is the Castarola Abyss, where the remains of the giant city of the Age of Gods sank. The embryo of the ancient dragon breathes slowly in the ruins, and the whole world breathes with it. Its heartbeat can even be transmitted from the eight thousand meters deep seabed to the boundless Pacific Ocean and captured by the Equipment Department and the Rock Flow Research Institute.
Such a thing is still an opponent that the two people in this deep-sea submersible have never faced directly. So far, Lu Mingfei has been at the forefront of every battle against the Dragon King in the academy. They have no chance to feel the majesty of the second generation or even the first generation at close range.
After the drone separated from the Trieste, it continued to dive at the same level. No abnormalities were found during the process. The Super Dragon Blood Shark and the Ghost Tooth Dragon Viper did not appear again, and the deep-sea Tyrannosaurus Squid did not let the two killer embryos see their true appearance.
In silence, both of them were a little bored, staring at the video sent back by the drone.
Suddenly, their faces showed fear and horror at the same time. Chu Zihang subconsciously clenched his long sword, while Caesar leaned back and crossed his hands to grope towards his waist.
The two Desert Eagles filled with the Philosopher's Stone were worn on his waist.
In fact, neither Murasame nor the Desert Eagle could deal with any accidents that happened or might happen in front of them. Even if a female ghost face stuck to the outside of the resin glass made faces at them, Caesar would not draw his gun to shoot.
Because once the sealing of the Trieste was destroyed, it would immediately sag inward like a flattened kowtow can. The high pressure of 4,500 meters in the deep sea could squeeze out the shit of the passengers.
Or it could squeeze them and the shit together into a lump of inseparable organic matter.
I think that although Master Gattuso does not have mysophobia, he is also well-dressed and well-fed. He never thought that he could die so... artistically in this life.
The reason why the expressions of the two killers became so ugly was that the accident had occurred only ten minutes after the release of the drone.
Drone No. 4, depth gauge 5140, lost contact.
Drone No. 3, depth gauge 5175, lost contact.
Within just one minute, four small windows on the left went out one after another, and a low alarm sounded in the cockpit of the Trieste.
"The radio signal remote control drone has lost control, but we still have a chance of winning, please stay calm!" EVA suddenly appeared in the two small windows that went out, and Chu Zihang's eyebrows jumped violently.
It was not because he was scared, but...
The girl's cold voice suddenly became stuck and intermittent.
This means that although the Trieste did not dive, the signal between them and the sea surface was getting worse and worse.
There are only two possibilities, either the dragon is getting closer and closer to them, or the edge of the dragon's mighty domain is spreading silently.
No matter which possibility it is, it is not good news for Chu Zihang and Caesar who are now stuffed in a tin can. The Trieste is a prototype from seventy years ago. Although its shell is strong, it can never resist the bite of a dragon. What's more, the dragon may not even bother to bite such a tin trash. It only needs to call its servants, such as those sharp-toothed ghost-toothed vipers, to easily destroy this deep-sea submersible at 4,500 meters below the sea.
"Senior sister, what suggestions do you have?" Chu Zihang suddenly asked.
EVA's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise, and it was that moment of spirit fluctuation that completely tore her away from the indifference of artificial intelligence.
"According to the calculation, even the most stable cable drone will lose contact at a depth of one thousand meters at most. Operation Jiyuan has failed here." She simply held her chin in contemplation. Although her expression was still indifferent, the appearance of a serious and solemn girl had already jumped on the screen.
"Your best option at this time is to notify the command center and let the execution department use a safety rope to pull you to the surface of the sea." The girl said softly.
Chu Zihang pursed his lips tightly, did not make a decision, did not speak, just looked at Caesar.
Operation Jiyuan was not a mission that he had to complete. Even if it failed this time, the equipment department could find a way to transform the earth-penetrating bomb into a sea-penetrating bomb and put a nuclear warhead on it and throw it directly into the trench to destroy the city and the embryo of the ancient dragon. The cost of doing so is just the risk of letting the whole of Japan slide into the sea.
But for Caesar, this is a chance to save Christina.
The life of the Moscow girl with ALS had entered the countdown when she was 18 years old. If she could not be selected as an executor by the Nibelungen Plan, she could live for at most five years.
With Kristina's own ability, it is simply impossible to stand out from the next batch of candidates for the Nibelungen Plan. Her bloodline is only the most common B-level. Although the word spirit is quite rare, in From the perspective of the academy, which has a large base of mixed-blood species as a reserve, a rare word spirit is nothing, unless it is Time Zero, or an even rarer commandment, or even a Rhine that can destroy a city.
"We still have a chance to complete the mission, right?" Chu Zihang raised his eyes and looked at the console. He was not looking at the buttons and valve switches, but at the screen where more and more small windows were turned off.
In five minutes, all remaining drones lost contact, and the college's attempts to penetrate and traverse the Longwei field failed. Even if those drones were added to the superb alchemy matrix by the night watchmen, they still could not break through the subconscious mind of an ancient dragon for himself. Generated shield.
"Theoretically speaking, the success rate of your blood against the hatched second generation is 2.1%, and against a dragon king..." EVA hesitated, so that she became more like a living girl.
"how many?"
"0." EVA said. When she responded to Caesar's question, she looked directly in Caesar's direction, as if she could really see the Italian sitting there scratching her head and head anxiously.
But in fact, there is no camera in this deep submersible that can capture the front of the two of them.
"There are only eight Dragon Kings, and we have already killed two. The possibility of a monarch being buried deep in the abyss is very low. We can try." Chu Zihang said, but he was actually unwilling to give up.
It has nothing to do with honor, I just want to fulfill my duties.
"Come up, pull us up!" Caesar said coldly, throwing away his earphones.
Chu Zihang was stunned and looked at the man with a cigarette in his mouth and a frown on his eyebrows.
"I know you are the team leader, but the dive application must be approved by two people at the same time before it can be sent to the command center, so this mission ends here." Caesar took a deep breath and reached for the valve switch on the console. That is the valve of the watertight chamber. As long as it is turned open, the deep submersible will remove the seawater between the metal outer shell and the inner shell. Then the air will be discharged from the airtight chamber, and the tin can will float up on its own.
Of course, they can also just let the tanker on the sea pull them up, but the shaking of the safety lock will make the journey very unpleasant.
"How could my pride allow you to accompany me to take this risk and lead my friends and partners into a meaningless death?" Caesar said. He didn't look into Chu Zihang's eyes, but all the strength in his body seemed to be taken away. Done.
But suddenly, a bright blue light swept through the small cockpit. Chu Zihang and Caesar looked out through the observation window. Their eyes were dull for a moment.
It is a bright blue river. The river is densely packed with ghost-toothed dragon vipers, and the whole body is glowing with a faint blue light.
There are thousands of them, and they have quietly surrounded the Diriast!
Several ferocious viperfish gathered in front of the observation window, displaying their dagger-sharp teeth through the plexiglass and bending their bodies like small snakes. Chu Zihang could see through their transparent scales and muscles that there seemed to be silver inside. The texture of the bones is slender, but full of extremely ferocious violence.
"I think we have no chance to surface..." Chu Zihang murmured.
Caesar's pupils shrank slightly, he straightened his spine again, leaned forward, and Kamaitachi's territory quietly opened.
Heartbeat.
Too many heartbeats.
Almost filling his brain!
The heartbeat of every Ghost-toothed Dragon Viper was abnormally manic, like a drumbeat on the battlefield.
"I think the dragon has discovered us," Caesar murmured. "It wants to kill the transgressor."
"I don't want to die with you, so don't give up..." At this time, a light female voice sounded from behind them. Caesar and Chu Zihang tightened their muscles at the same time. In an instant, Murasame unsheathed the Desert Eagle gun and fired back. refer to.
A graceful and beautiful figure gradually appeared in the narrow shadow. Her facial features were also exquisite and her makeup was exquisite. Her long black hair was tied into a ponytail at the back of her head, revealing her fair and slender back neck like a kendo girl. Her bright but cold face The corners of the eyes lightly swiped with eyeshadow are slender, like crimson blades.
If such a girl appeared on the streets of Tokyo, she would probably become the most eye-catching scenery, but at this moment, they were 4,500 meters deep under the sea, surrounded by countless viper fish that could tear their bones into pieces and swallow them. , and the girl was pointing two unsheathed knives at their hearts.
Such an affair is truly unforgettable...
"Ninja?" Chu Zihang said coldly. He obviously recognized Shutoku Mai's combat uniform. It was clearly a tight-fitting tights, and underneath the tights was a sharkskin swimsuit.
He couldn't figure out why this ridiculously beautiful girl was wearing a swimsuit. Could it be that she was planning to climb out of the Dilieste eight thousand meters under the sea and swim twice like a mermaid?
But even mermaids can't go down to the 8,000-meter abyss. Only the North Sea monster Kraken can get here.
Caesar was stunned and said, "Damn, those legs are so long."
Young Master Gattuso immediately brought the tense atmosphere back to a somewhat embarrassing situation.
