Xumizuo, also known as "Vajra Seat" and "Xumiu Altar", originated from India. It is a pedestal for placing statues of Buddha and Bodhisattva. Later, it refers to the base of architectural decoration.
The tower is as its name suggests. The Xumizuo under the sea has sharp edges and corners, and is as motionless as a mountain. It really has a "King Kong feeling".
Dolphin II and Dolphin III made a large circle and approached Sumeru from the opposite direction. The ruins of Fortress No. 5 that had been cleared by the prisoners were piled there. A mountain of garbage about ten meters high had accumulated on the sea floor, which was very suitable for hiding.
What's more convenient is that most of the patrol armored shuttles of the Second Fleet are concentrated at the construction site, focusing on the prisoners who may escape at any time, and are very relaxed about the garbage mountain.
"I always feel that this Xumizuo looks familiar," Bai Fei looked at the overturned bracket-shaped building not far away: "I just can't remember where I've seen it before."
Diego's driving skills are indeed superb. He can control the Dolphin III to drive steadily along the seabed, and the speed is not slow. Faun, who is less skilled in driving submarines, can only drive the Dolphin II to follow him. later. Hearing Bai Fei's words, Diego tilted his head and thought for a moment: "Have you seen it on TV or the Internet?"
"Hmm... I think I saw it on TV when I was very young... Hey, I remembered, this Xumizuo looks like a TPC base."
"TPC base? What kind of organization is that?" Hun was also confused.
"The setting in a special special effects film I watched when I was a kid, that special effects film was called "Ultraman Tiga"."
"Well, I have the impression that before entering the 21st century, special photography films were Sakura County's business card."
The four people chatted and walked, and the serious and tense atmosphere before was swept away. By the time the two submarines safely drove behind the garbage mountain, everyone's psychological pressure had disappeared with the chatter.
"Climb over this mountain of garbage. In front of you are the working prisoners and the soldiers guarding them. The Dolphin cannot be hidden no matter what. Diego, Bai Fei, we are ready to leave the cabin." As this No. 5 well recovery team The commander, sizing up the situation in a daze, decided to let the two submarines "anchor" here.
Only Hun, Bai Fei, and Diego were able to sneak into the Xumi constellation. Pedro and the twelve Arnolds stayed at the anchorage of the Dolphin. The former requires concentration when activating superpowers, and basically loses the ability to move; as for those cyborg warriors who lack wisdom, they can be given some simple and straightforward commands such as "attack" and "retreat", but a little bit The more complicated ones are completely out of the question. It is simply unrealistic to expect these twelve transformed people to be well-trained in sneaking into the Xumizuo.
"let's go."
The hatch of the Dolphin III slowly rose, and Diego and Bai Fei swam out of the submarine one after another, and met with Hui on the other side. The three of them had a brief exchange and then swam towards Xumizuo under the guidance of Hun.
In this parallel universe, there is no such thing as a diving certificate - technological advancement has made diving as common a skill as riding a bicycle.
Due to the development of materials science, diving suits in the mid-21st century were entirely made of new materials, which were warm, comfortable, lightweight and extremely tough; the corresponding diving equipment has also been updated several times. Today, the physical fitness threshold for humans to dive has been lowered through improvements in equipment.
Of course, although there is no such thing as a "layman" in the activity of diving (you can dive a few meters deep under water by putting on a diving suit), children and the elderly who have never been exposed to diving before will have no problem, and there is no need to overdo it. training, you can’t dive too deeply), but there is still a distinction between professional and amateur. Let’s compare it to cycling. Just because you can ride a bicycle, it doesn’t mean you can participate in the Tour de France. The same goes for diving.
The four people who performed this recovery mission each have good water skills and have received targeted scuba diving training. They can be regarded as professional athletes in the diving industry. Among the three people who infiltrated Xumizuo, Hun and Bai Feigu are dragon-level ability users, and Diego, who is slightly less advanced, is also ghost-level. The physique of their high-level ability users can theoretically support them to dive to a depth of hundreds of meters. of deep sea.
Therefore, several people seemed to be able to move forward at a depth of more than thirty meters underwater.
In order to ensure the success of this operation to recover Manila No. 5 Well, the Renaissance Organization has prepared many props with exaggerated functions:
Snorkels, fins, cylinders, cylinder valves, respirators, regulators, pressure gauges, and buoyancy adjustment devices specifically designed for scuba diving. These necessary equipment for scuba diving are naturally of military grade.
The heads of several people were not wearing traditional diving masks, but diving helmets modified by Leonardo da Vinci. The helmet was installed by the elderly with communication equipment, night vision goggles, infrared scanning, cameras, poison canisters and other seemingly unnecessary devices.
"You all grab hold of me. I used my ability to interfere with our area, so that the enemy will ignore us involuntarily. But you also know the side effects of this move, so don't let go."
Bai Fei grabbed Wu's left hand, and Diego grabbed Wu's right hand. Faced with Wu's warning, the two agreed repeatedly.
The three of them swam carelessly to the bottom of the Sumeru Seat. They were not worried at all about being discovered by the prisoners and the supervisory soldiers, because under the faint power, the three of them were in a state of being "ignored".
This is the effect of the skill [Binding Eyes]. All senses of a person under the influence of the skill will be deceived. Not only can they not see or hear, but even if they pat or hit a prisoner or soldier at this time, this behavior will not be noticed by others.
The authors of the SCP Foundation coined the concept of antimemes. Its essence is simple: memes generate/disseminate information, and antimemes destroy/constrain information. The main danger of antimemes is that if it cannot be recognized, it cannot be prevented or controlled if it is harmful.
Obviously, this skill of faint has antimemetic properties.
However, the potential of [Shielded Eyes] has not yet been fully tapped by Kuang. She cannot yet control this power, nor is she aware of the nature of antimemetics, so she can only use clumsy methods to deal with the "side effects" of the skill.
"Don't let go. Once you let go, you will be discovered by the enemy." Bai Fei put most of her attention on her right hand holding faint: "I must concentrate on it, otherwise I won't be able to feel faint's presence."
The same is true for Diego on the other side. Both of them are fighting against reason in their minds. They have to convince their minds that their left/right hands are not empty, but are really holding them unconscious.
This is the reason why Hun almost never uses this skill in the presence of teammates - it doesn't recognize its relatives.
Although the diving helmet has an infrared function, and the infrared ray can indeed scan the faint body temperature, Bai Fei and Diego will directly "ignore" the human figure displayed on the mask.
In the same way, if someone takes a photo of her while she is using [Blind Eyes], the developed photo will only show the interior or the scenery. She was really in the photo, but invisible to everyone unless looking "hard."
This is what Bai Fei and Diego are doing now. They must keep their minds on the water and hold their hands tightly, even if their brains tell them they are holding only sea water.
The time that people can maintain a high degree of mental concentration is not long, on average it is only about ten or twenty minutes, not to mention the ultra-high concentration like Bai Fei and Diego. Fortunately, the three of them were lucky. When they were almost unable to hold on any longer, they faintly led them to the bottom of the Xumizuo and hid behind a probe.
"I can only hold on for a little more than seven minutes. I can realize that my sense of the existence of my senior is getting weaker and weaker." Diego's heart palpitated. This was the first time he personally experienced the power of [blindness]. Hui is also called by his seniors.
Bai Fei's situation is not good either. The level of concentration has nothing to do with the level of the ability user, so she and Diego argue: "I'm almost at my limit. If I'm even one minute later, I'll be beaten." Throw it off."
"Ah, I know, because you two are clenching tighter and tighter, and my hand bones are almost crushed by you." Hun rubbed his hands and complained: "No way, you can't feel my grasp at all when using skills. I’m keeping you, so you can catch me. Fortunately, Bai Fei, you weren’t thrown off. If you let go alone, all of us would be exposed.”
"Senior Hun, why is this?"
"Because I am the person responsible for recovering the No. 5 well, and there is no room for error." Bai Fei answered for Hun: "If I let go, I will never be able to feel you two again. Hong can't turn a blind eye, he can only disarm his skills. , then we will all be exposed to the eyes of the enemy."
Diego chuckled: "So, what Senior Bai means is that if I take off my hands, the two seniors will ignore me, right?"
"You are very aware." Hun Dali patted Diego on the shoulder: "I am very happy to have such a sensible junior like you."
There is nothing to avoid, because everyone in the Renaissance organization is prepared to sacrifice or be sacrificed.
"Well, faint, you said before on the Dolphin that there are many probes supporting the Xumiru constellation, right?" Bai Fei reached out and touched the pillar behind the three of them. When she looked up, she couldn't see the bottom of the Xumiru constellation; when she looked down, she couldn't see the bottom. The ruins of the fortress:
"You call this a needle?"
