Chapter 317 Welcome to Drifter Settlement No. 16 [The Afterglow of Jupiter]
Su Wen followed behind him.
Hannah also very carefully turned off the lights in the room, locked the secret door hidden deep in the locker and walked down the stairs.
It probably went down eight or nine floors.
Merk coughed and said:
"arrive."
Then he pushed open the half-open but already rusted iron door.
The roar of steam machinery engines could be heard inside.
At the same time, there is a not-so-wide rest area among various brass steampunk machines.
Further inside is a dark tunnel, and the sound of water flowing from it can be heard.
In the rest area, several tables with a heavy metal style were put together by machinery, and there were several broken sofas around them.
Old Merk greeted a burly man wearing a work cap and a sleeveless top:
"Aidan, we have a visitor.
He's Grace's friend Kevin."
Hear Grace's name.
The strong man Aidan immediately put on a serious look. He stretched out his right arm and shook hands with Su Wen in a formal manner:
“Welcome to ‘Drifter Settlement No. 16’:
[Underground Town: Afterglow of Jupiter]"
Hear them say that.
Su Wen had a little more thought on his face:
"Are you castaways?"
Aidan nodded:
"There are two types of drifters. One type is those who came to this sea by mistake for various reasons centuries ago.
In the past thousand years, the number of such people has become too large to be counted.
But because the Lost Sea is so big, it’s hard for you to imagine where there are ‘drifters’ and where they are not.
Some of us came here one after another after the Lost Sea route was opened.
I am the resident manager of the carnival fleet here:
Aidan Salos.
Also a drifter of the 21st century.”
Then he sighed:
"It's just that there are too few supplies shipped here.
Moreover, most of the supplies carried by the main fleets are supplied to the NASA Research Institute and the garrison at the First Route Development Memorial Hall, and it is impossible to give them to us.
Feel sorry.
There isn’t much to entertain you.”
Su Wen didn't care about this.
He asked the question:
"Then where do you usually get your supplies?"
“It’s more about exchanging shipping supplies with other Kirishima.
The fifth and seventh docks belong to the drifters, but the current visitors and carnival convoys mostly use the fifth dock for shipping work."
Hear this.
He connected all the known information in series, that is, what Famil told him about the "Power Gear" of the Seventh Steam Dockyard.
He pondered for a moment and did not disclose the information.
But from now on.
Su Wen’s salvation plan has already begun:
"I heard Merk say, what difficulties did the carnival fleet encounter?"
The strong man Aidan clasped his hands together and said in a deep voice:
"monster.
Recently, the number of deep divers and black tide monsters has increased much more than before.
The supplies we have stored are already in short supply, and some aboriginal drifters don't even have enough food."
heard the news.
Su Wen nodded:
“After the Wiltings sailed into the Lost Sea, we were also attacked by deep-sea monsters, but the intensity was not high and we did not encounter a black tide.
But blocked routes are indeed a big problem.
so.
Take me there first and take a look, I already have an idea."
"good."
They didn't exchange much pleasantries.
At the same time, the system prompts came as expected.
[Phase mission: Lift sea area blockade]
[Task Reward: Unlocking the Jupiter Observatory Anchor from the Old Chart]
Old Merkel really couldn't walk the rest of the way:
"I have also taught Hannah the knowledge of mechanical maintenance. Let her follow you next.
Mr. Kevin.
Please protect her."
Su Wen nodded.
"I know."
Although Hannah is a young girl, she has participated in the transmission maintenance of the Jupiter Observatory, including the repair of huge deep-sea machinery.
So she just tightened her gray coat and carefully took the tool bag from the old engineer's hand.
As for the carnival convoy and the drifters, in addition to Aidan, a second-level ascendant, they also sent five strong first-level transcendent beings.
As for the reason for the awakening, the strong man Aidan also mentioned it when they were traveling through the dark mechanical tunnel:
“How can we afford to drink the mixture from Isaiah Life Technology?
Most of the people here are extraordinary beings who have naturally awakened.
On the contrary, the group of mercenaries and bounty hunters like to use the ‘Isaiah Glimmer Mixture’ to carry out shallow evolution in order to receive big orders.”
"The Lost Sea has been immersed in the activated dark matter field for longer than the real world.
It is indeed easier to induce a jump in life levels."
Su Wen calmly gave the answer.
and.
He also just confirmed the proof of this information from Jiang Menghan:
That is, NASA's Rocket Launch Center in Houston also sent some astronauts to the abyssal border specifically for adaptive training.
at this time.
Walking through the long and narrow underground tunnel, you are surrounded by the roaring steam hammers and everything is dyed in dim light.
He saw the huge steam port No. 5 in the distance.
Below, there are rows of ocean-going cargo ships docked in the Shenzhen Harbor decorated with carnival caravan heavy metal styles. As for whether they have been armed and modified, Su Wen did not waste his spiritual energy to identify them.
If you need to know him, just ask Aidan directly.
Moreover, two cargo ships that have just arrived are still quite far away from the subsidence waterline, indicating that the amount of cargo carried is indeed worrying.
A very personal style of broken French came from the cargo ship.
To put it simply, it is dialect.
Fortunately, Su Wen can still understand.
"Aidan, monster!
The king Physalis Yu who is bigger than the real world appears again!
At least Kuroshio Level 2!
We desperately threw away more than a dozen boxes of meat before escaping here."
I heard the man say that.
The strong man Aidan also had a hint of gloom on his face:
"The Kuroshio Level 2 raid, and the target is not the Steel Fortress.
At least a plurality of second-order anchor lineage or sailor lineage extraordinary people are needed to handle it.
Now that Calder and the others haven't returned yet, we can't ask for help from the Wiltings or NASA."
Hear him say that.
Su Wen patted the strong man on the shoulder:
"I already have a plan.
Tell me the detailed information you know about the king Physalis Yu in the Black Tide of the Lost Sea."
Aidan rubbed his head:
"I don't know the specifics. I heard that those monsters are huge.
It is said that there are records that even the French Dunkirk Heavy Patrol was dragged into the water in its entirety in the Lost Sea."
They shouldn't be counted on.
Su Wen sat in front of the computer and stretched, and then told Jiang Menghan in the team voice:
"Help me find out the information about the Kuroshio secondary disaster and the Kuroshio monster king Physalis Yu.
Remember not to leave any obvious traces in your browsing logs."
Hearing what he said, the iceberg girl asked in a cold voice:
"Is Jupiter Observatory about to encounter a related disaster?"
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
He smiled and shrugged, then confidently and calmly concluded:
“But it’s not our turn to deal with those things yet.
Quite the opposite.
Someone will take the initiative to solve these things for us."
