Underwater, Yun Ming and a group of four people dived in the darkness. The depth of the water the four of them were currently in was actually far from the limit depth of sunlight. The darkness was just because the weather was so bad.
"The underwater equipment of your Renaissance organization is good. It requires almost no effort on the part of the divers. Even if there is a pig wrapped in the diving suit, it will be no problem at all." Yun Ming unreservedly praised the strength of the Renaissance organization's hardware. I don't mind comparing myself to pigs.
Yun Ming was not exaggerating. As a landlubber, he adjusted his position after entering the water, assuming a posture similar to Superman's flying, and then he could maintain this movement. The booster on the foot of the diving suit provided enough thrust for Yun Ming to cut through the waves and go deep into the seabed.
"Don't worry, the organization has thought everything through." Xia Yanyou was at the front of the team, and his voice came through his helmet: "The diving suit you are wearing can be regarded as a lightweight version of underwater individual combat armor. , there are many functions, but I don’t have time to teach you them slowly on the Hurricane.”
"Then, the water pressure shouldn't have any effect on me, right?" Yun Ming thought of a practical problem right before his eyes: "Your people are trapped about a hundred meters underwater. Will anything happen to you high-level ability users?" I don’t know, but my body probably can’t stand it at this depth.”
Xia Yan asked back: "Just now, we dived to a depth of more than thirty meters and it took two and a half minutes. If the diving suit couldn't withstand the water pressure, you should have felt very bad changes in your internal organs. Isn’t it?”
"Ah, yes." Yun Ming tilted his head and looked around: "So I have a more intuitive understanding of the physical fitness of high-level ability users, and I am sure... you are all genuine physical monsters. "
Among the four-person team, only Yun Ming was fully armed with black technology. Xia Yan, Zhong Yi and Jiang Yao only wore diving suits with the most basic functions. Apart from a space bag and a few pendants, they were no different from the popular products on the market. Therefore, these three people were wearing flippers, but their swimming speed was comparable to Yun Ming, who relied on plug-ins to move forward. And even after swimming several kilometers in the sea, none of them showed any obvious signs of declining physical strength.
"Actually, other ghost-level ability users may not be able to do the same thing. But Wushuang is such a convenient power, and its scope of application is as wide as snake oil." Xia Yan didn't look back, as if he didn't need to You can tell what is happening behind you just by looking at it: "For example, right now, they are activating their powers. One is to enhance their endurance, and the other is to improve their eyesight. In terms of observation ability alone, they have surpassed me in this aspect at the moment. ”
"My guess is really accurate." Jiang Yao didn't hide it: "Originally, I didn't want to expend energy to open the golden eyes, but who told you that the night vision device in the helmet provided by the Renaissance Organization was so stretched?"
Under the glass masks, the two holders of unparalleled powers changed their eye colors, and their amber eyes flickered on and off with the blink of an eye. This is the skill "Golden Eyes", which can give Zhong Yi and Jiang Yao extremely keen observation skills.
"This is not its problem. Night vision devices, which are nighttime external sights with image intensifiers as the core component, use the light reflected by the target under weak illumination to enhance it on the fluorescent screen through the image intensifier into a visible image that can be felt by the human eye. Observing and aiming at targets cannot work in total darkness."
"Don't forget, in order not to irritate Kraken, we didn't even turn on the headlights, and there was no daylight on a cloudy day. A clever woman can't make a meal without rice, and the night vision device is useless." Xia Yan comforted, as the leader of the team Otherwise, he has the ability to lead the way safely. Xia Yan's ability "Tide" is a superpower with a high affinity with "water". Just like a spider sitting in the center of the web can know the movement of the spider web. Surrounded by sea water, Xia Yan's perception is far better than When you are on land, you can easily avoid debris in the water in advance.
Zhong Yi silently waved his hand and pushed away a floating steel plate, thinking in his mind: "The eyesight improved by golden eyes is limited. In this case, it can only help me see less than ten meters away. On the other hand, Xia Yan, early He can be prepared to avoid or block marine debris, which shows that he has excellent detection skills, which are more effective than golden eyes."
"Except for golden eyes, I have no other means of investigation. The same is probably true for Jiang Yao, who has the same powers as me, and it is even less likely that Yun Ming has one."
"So the problem now is that we who lack investigation skills can only be led by the Renaissance organization in the sea. Even if the Renaissance organization does not sell us, if there is an emergency and we need to fight on our own, we will not know where to escape in the dark. Where to run?"
Zhong Yi was at a loss. Although he was aware of the huge hidden dangers of his task force, he could not think of a good way to solve the problem.
On the other side, Yun Ming also discovered a new problem: "Then the thermal imaging camera can't be used?"
Xia Yan replied: "Yes. Not to mention that these floating debris themselves do not emit infrared radiation at all. Not long ago, Kraken killed most of the Second Fleet in this sea area, and those sunken aircraft and ships The ship may still be warm at this moment. If you turn on the infrared night vision device, it will be all red. How can you see it?"
"Hmm... that makes sense." Yun Ming nodded, and quickly asked: "Pedro, who is staying on the rubber boat, can share the tuna's vision; Zhong Yi and Jiang Yao can see objects with the help of supernatural powers; as the leader of the team, It’s definitely okay to see things under amniotic fluid, do you think I’m right?”
"All the above are true, but the part about me is only half true, because I don't rely on sight to move. Why do you ask?"
"So I'm not the only one here who can't see at all and is completely blind?"
"Why are you panicking? The three of us are here to protect you." Xia Yan was puzzled.
Yun Ming was shocked: "But my air flash has to lock the end point of the movement with my eyes! I can't see anything. Where should I teleport to?"
"So this is what you are worried about." Xia Yan stopped and responded reflexively: "Although this rescue operation was planned very hastily, there will be no such flaw in the plan."
"We arrive at the designated location first and stand by. When the time comes, there will be enough flares to turn Manila Bay into daylight. Then it's up to you to show off your skills."
"Aren't you afraid that such a big noise will anger Kraken?"
"It's not necessary. The timing I just mentioned refers to the moment when Elliot and the others launch an attack on Kraken from the side."
"Understood, it doesn't matter whether you provoke him or not. We just need to take advantage of Kraken's hatred to transfer and rescue him."
"That's right."
Yun Ming nodded: "Then I have no problem, but why didn't you tell me before?"
Xia Yan shrugged: "I originally planned to talk about it near the target location."
"Okay, let's continue on our way."
A group of four people set off again. They did not dive again in the second half of the journey and kept moving at the current depth. However, during the last section of the journey, the swimming speed of the four people slowed down - as the distance between them and Xumizuo increased. As time went by, there were more and more obstacles in front of everyone, and they had to carefully weave through the debris that originally belonged to Fortress No. 5, Xumizuo, and the Second Fleet of the Southeast Asian Navy.
About twenty minutes later, Xia Yan waved to the people behind him to stop marching: "We're here."
"Uh... are you sure?" Jiang Yao glanced around with her golden eyes: "There is nothing else here except a few gun barrels."
"It's not there, but we can't go any further." Xia Yan recorded the position and sent it back to the Hurricane: "Our people are trapped on the top of the Xumizuo, and the Xumizuo is hanging on the sea cliff, which is far away from Kraken Too close, where we are now is the limit of the Kraken's attack range, and the organization estimates the maximum length of its tentacles - 500 meters."
Zhong Yi expressed his opinions for the first time since entering the water: "Why not let Elliot lead Kraken away from the opposite direction first? Wouldn't that be much safer?"
Xia Yan shook his head sharply to indicate that Zhong Yi's suggestion would not work: "There is a high probability that it will not succeed. In fact, Kraken is trapped in place."
"A simple calculation question - the height of Kraken is about 150 meters, and the average water depth of Manila Bay does not exceed 40 meters. You can calculate that if Kraken climbs out of the pit at the original site of Fortress No. 5, it will be on the surface of the water How much of the body will be exposed above?”
Zhong Yi instantly understood what Xia Yan was saying: "One hundred and ten meters, accounting for more than two-thirds of the entire body length... To any marine creature, this is the same as being stranded."
"Yes, although we are not sure whether the Kraken is a thing that swims in the sea, but seeing that it looks like a combination of an octopus and an ammonite, it is logical to make this assumption."
"That is to say, the last 500 meters will have to be covered by my air dodge." Yun Ming looked forward, but of course he couldn't see anything: "What do you need me to do?"
"It's not difficult. After the flare rises, you can dodge near the top of the Xumizuo. Our people will break open the metal wall from the inside out. You just need to pick them back one by one." Xia Yan explained the essentials of the operation in a few words. The explanation is over.
Yun Ming said suspiciously: "Do the trapped people in your organization still have the strength to tear the iron plate apart? Then wouldn't it be better to just swim back?"
"The problem is that among the three people trapped, two are dragon-level ability users." Xia Yan said solemnly: "The organization suspects that Kraken is probably coming for them."
"When Kraken first arrived, it attacked Xumizuo in a very targeted manner. Instead, it reacted normally to the submarines and ships attacking it; until one of the dragons used a skill that could erase the existence of itself and everything around it, it Only then did we vigorously counterattack the Second Fleet. Therefore, we feel that there is a high possibility that the two dragons organized by the organization are the targets of Kraken's trip. The reason may be due to the territorial awareness of animals."
"It's outrageous. It's unheard of to be able to track him down from an alien planet to Earth." Jiang Yao felt a headache as she patted her forehead. Of course, she could only pat it on her helmet.
Xia Yan didn't answer. Jiang Yao is right. If the inference made by the Renaissance organization is correct, then this will be the first time that alien creatures have visited the earth due to human subjective consciousness activities, and it is the first case in the world. But don't forget, Bai Fei's superpower is the unique reverse scale. Perhaps under its influence, it is not difficult to transmit the earth's dragon-level aura to aliens.
"So my mission is actually to use my abilities to help them escape from Kraken's pursuit. As long as they are far enough away in a short time, the Titan will not cling to it." Yun Ming felt embarrassed: "You said before Are there three people trapped? I’m not sure we can take them all away at once.”
"It doesn't matter, we can divide it into batches." Xia Yan came up with an idea: "Pedro's younger brother Diego is one of the three trapped people. He is a ghost-level ability user. He is not noticed by Kraken. His condition is good enough to go on his own. Escape; Benita, one of the Dragon Levels, can erase her own sense of existence, and it is easy to escape independently. In fact, there is only one person who really needs your rescue."
"That would save trouble." Yun Ming thought for a while and did not ask Xia Yan why Benita didn't use her powers to make Kraken ignore the existence of the three of them and just run away. Thinking about this kind of detailed information about the abilities of the esper, Yun Ming thought that even if he asked Xia Yan, he might not be able to tell.
"Is everything okay?" Xia Yan confirmed for the last time.
Zhong Yi unexpectedly stepped forward and put his arm on Xia Yan's shoulders. This posture looks like a shoulder-to-shoulder gesture between good buddies, but it’s actually Zhong Yi’s starting stance before he’s ready to strike:
"I have one more question."
