The deep sea is dark, vast, and boundless, but not peaceful. Magical geological activities and a small number of deep-sea creatures active in this area will make strange sounds like whispers in nightmares. Hao Ren thinks that the data terminal's deep-sea phobia is
It's fake, but he might really have a phobia - this place is so stressful!
The boundless dark water was pressing in from all directions. If it weren't for the power of the sea monster, Hao Ren felt that his rigid shield wouldn't be able to hold on for long under such conditions. He opened his eyes wide and searched for the faint sight ahead.
The light was bright, and his enhanced vision could barely see the surrounding situation clearly in the dim light emitted by the data terminal. Now he could already see what seemed to be a container cabin: a shadowy huge rectangular object tilted and parked on the seabed.
On the sand, the length is about ten meters, and the width and height should be about ** meters. Except for the part that is completely buried under the sand, there are weak lights on each vertex, which allows people to see more clearly.
The condition of the cleared container. So far, the situation seems to be good - the container is intact, at least it has not disintegrated, and the weak light indicates that its backup energy has not been completely exhausted.
The container cabin is located on a relatively flat seabed beach, and the surrounding terrain is slightly sloping. A huge mark can be seen on the slope, which should be caused by the rolling of the container when it "landed". Hao Ren and Nangong Wuyue got closer and discovered that
Some strange little creatures have gathered under the container cabin. They are flat in shape and emit a faint blue light. They look like squashed squids and are less than ten centimeters in length. These little creatures seem to be
This strange big thing that visited their home two days ago made it their new home. You can see many small sand holes dug out on the beach below the container cabin. However, after Hao Ren and Nangong Wuyue approached, these little things fled quickly.
"Oh, it's a little bigger than expected." Nangong Wuyue let go of Hao Ren and walked around the container cabin twice, "It looks like a small house, bigger than a container on earth. How do you open this?
"
Hao Ren followed Nangong Wuyue in a circle and found that there were ablation marks everywhere on the surface of the container compartment, making the originally beautiful alloy shell look tattered. This was probably due to the damage suffered during the disintegration of the carrier aircraft, but the container
The structure itself was still intact, and it had at least two layers of structure. After Hao Ren pulled off a tattered armor plate, he found that there was a layer of alloy shield inside that looked quite thick.
"Let this machine look for it," the data terminal floated to the top of the container cabin, using a scanning beam to search for the opening of this thing. Soon it found the entrance on the side of the container cabin, "Oh, here it is - the status of the safety lock
It's good. The backup energy group is still supplying energy to its core protection device. The unlucky guy inside is definitely fine, but the premise is that we don't cause secondary damage when we open the cabin. We need to find a way to isolate the seawater, or to isolate the entire
The container hold was transferred to the sea."
"Get such a big thing up there?" Nangong Wuyue stuck out his tongue, "I'd better isolate the sea water. Landlord, please step back a little, and I will create a water-proof area."
Hao Ren followed the instructions and stepped back. He saw Nangong Wuyue swimming around the container cabin several more times, but this time her swimming obviously had a certain pattern, and it was swaying with the long sea snake's tail. There was a faint feeling.
The glow gradually dispersed in the surrounding seawater, and finally Nangong Wuyue stopped at the top of the container cabin. He whispered a very strange syllable, and a hemispherical transparent barrier appeared out of thin air above the container cabin!
This hemispherical barrier has a diameter of tens of meters. It is several times larger than the container cabin. The sea water is clearly separated inside and outside the barrier. It is like a spectacle. Hao Ren swam towards the barrier curiously, feeling as if he had passed through a soft
film, you are immediately in a dry environment: in the water-proof area, let alone sea water, even the beach is completely dry.
This magical move made Hao Ren marvel: "Hey! This move is so beautiful! Your world is indeed yours in the sea... Uh."
He turned around and saw Nangong Wuyue just coming in from outside the "water barrier". The sea monster girl's lower body still had the long sea snake tail. In the absence of water, she could only move forward twisting and turning, although her figure was enchanting.
It's a different kind of beauty, but Nangong Wuyue obviously doesn't think so. She complained with a grimace: "It's so uncomfortable to wear it like this... I've 'walked' in this form three or four times since I was a child, and I'm not used to it at all."
Hao Ren was just about to say that she was actually pretty good-looking when she walked (twisted) like this, but he was confused by the other party's next move: Nangong Wuyue was probably not used to twisting around like a snake, so he simply changed his posture again.
It turned into a mermaid tail, but she jumped to the ground after only two steps: "No, I can't control the balance while jumping... I really don't know how my mother developed the ability to jump."
Hao Ren: "..."
Nangong Wuyue transformed into a sea snake's tail again. While twisting, he discussed with Hao Ren: "How about I turn into a Pipi shrimp? At least I can walk smoothly on land, or I can turn into a sea crab..."
"Please spare my childhood life!" Hao Ren jumped and pointed at Nangong Wuyue's long tail, "Can't you change back to human form?"
"My clothes are still up there!"
"Oh, right." Hao Ren suddenly realized that Nangong Wuyue, like the husky at home, was also a person who couldn't keep his clothes after his transformation. Sure enough, not every alien was as poor and hypocritical as Vivian.
"Then what's the matter with the clothes on your upper body?" Hao Ren pointed at Nangong Wuyue curiously, "Where did this clothes come from?"
"These are my scales," Nangong Wuyue patted his chest, "Actually, I am not wearing any clothes now. It is the difference in culture and aesthetics that allows me to maintain the reserve of a girl in front of a man..."
Hao Ren: "...let's get down to business..."
He felt that if he continued to chat with this siren girl, some important parts of his life would be gone forever.
Now that the seawater around the container cabin has been drained, there is no need to worry about the secondary damage that may be caused to the tenants by suddenly opening the cabin. The data terminal floats to the side of this behemoth and uses a beam of light to connect itself to the control system of the container cabin.
At the same time: "I hope the security host is still on, otherwise we will have to violently tear down the door... Oh, good luck."
As soon as the data terminal said "good luck", a creaking metal noise came from under the broken metal plate on the side of the container cabin. It seemed that the deformed and twisted door assembly was pushing open the layer of scrap metal outside, and there was a burst of sound.
There was a "chi" sound of air pressure releasing, and the container door finally opened. However, the thick partition plate just slid one-third to the side when it made a loud "click" sound, as if something was stuck in the track -
—But the impact is not big, and it is more than enough for an individual to enter.
Hao Ren picked up the broken metal components outside the container cabin and struggled to get inside.
The space inside the cabin is large and the condition is quite intact. No scars can be seen on the silver-white bulkhead. A soft orange light fills the space inside, which is like a completely different world from the darkness and coldness outside.
"Until we opened the cabin, the air supply here was normal, the temperature was normal, and the internal space stabilization device was not completely shut down, which greatly reduced the impact during landing." The data terminal was floating behind Hao Ren, and it had been connected to the container cabin.
The control computers are connected together and can read the system report of the last second before opening the cabin. Now they are reporting the situation to Hao Ren while floating.
"The question is...where are the tenants?" Hao Ren carefully stood firm on the sloping "floor". He was surrounded by strange gadgets that he didn't recognize: there were brackets fixed on the bulkhead, embedded monitors, and
There are a few strange devices scattered on the ground. These should be the equipment that comes with the container cabin, but there is no sign of the tenants.
The container hold is empty, where is anyone?
Nangong Wuyue also crawled in at this time (she did crawl in, or you could just say twisting in). Her current body shape is not very flexible, so she just looked behind Hao Ren: "Where is the person?"
"I don't know, it was empty when I came in." Hao Ren stepped forward and searched among the equipment and containers that had fallen to the ground, but found nothing. The data terminal touched the monitor on the bulkhead next to it:
"This primitive display device... I'm really not used to it. Let this machine take a look... There is a login record, so the passengers should indeed be still there."
There were not many things in the container hold, and it was clear whether there was anyone there. Hao Ren quickly gave up searching. He climbed outside the container hold and let the data terminal connect the communication with Raven 12345. Nangong Wuyue soon also climbed out.
When he came out, the siren girl picked up a white ball that was larger than a goose egg from nowhere. Now she was playing with the ball with the tip of her tail while watching Hao Ren "make a phone call".
"Hello? Hao Ren?" Raven 12345's lazy voice came from the data terminal, "Did you receive it?"
"I got a clue, the container compartment is empty!" Hao Ren felt depressed, "Did you get the information wrong?"
"Empty?" Raven 12345 was immediately surprised, "Have you looked carefully? How could it be empty?!"
"Hey, I've been looking for a long time," Hao Ren sighed, turned his head and saw Nangong Wuyue throwing the white ball up and down with his tail, so he shouted in a joking tone, "I found an egg!"
"Oh yes! That's the egg!"
Nangong Wuyue's tail stiffened and he made a "pop" sound.
Hao Ren: "F*ck!!!!"
Raven 12345 was startled: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
