"There is nothing to hesitate about. Our current situation is already in front of us. There is no way for the remaining magic stone materials to wait until the association delivers the materials. Everyone knows that the magic power to maintain the protective shield and frequency modulation timer is massive, isn't it?
A magic furnace will solve the problem."
The only magic furnace in the camp that was brought down to the abyss is currently being transferred to support the operation of the two major instruments. The magic furnace alleviates the urgent need, but it is only a relief.
The problems encountered have still not been solved. If this continues, the failure of the two major instruments will only be a matter of time. The pioneers simply do not have that much time to waste.
Under the urgent needs of the current situation, even if Locke does not intentionally push the direction, the other captain-level pioneers will make the most appropriate decision on their own.
Let some people continue to stay in the abyss with a depth of 140 meters to guard this ruins. The remaining pioneers will complete their ascent, integrate a new batch of materials in the real world, and then return here.
There is probably no more comprehensive choice than this one.
"We have to consider more than just this. What will happen to the people who stay? Once we encounter an abyssal population, there is almost no chance of survival. We will lose the FM timer, the protective shield generator, and a magic furnace. Even if you don't care,
These are all small problems for them, but what about the lives of the pioneers who stayed in the abyss? Do we have to watch them stay and wait for death?" The captain looked at the captain with a firm look and said.
"I propose that everyone should float back up. It's not worth losing a large number of pioneers just for an abyss ruins!"
Locke glanced at the captain cryptically.
At this time, another pioneer said: "We pioneers came here to explore the abyss. Now we should not put the cart before the horse. The ruins must be preserved!"
There were constant quarrels, and Locke didn't say much during it. He only occasionally expressed his opinions and made his position clear. He knew that he didn't need to say too much because the captain had already made a decision.
At this time, the captain sitting in the center touched his gray beard and watched the pioneers' farce without saying a word. During this period, his eyes met Locke's for an instant.
Locke quickly looked away. The old man in front of him was not simple.
After a while, the captain said: "Quiet." The voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly. The pioneers fell silent for a moment, and their eyes turned to the captain in the center.
"Everyone's concerns are very reasonable. The lives of the pioneers are not tools for casual consumption, and our duty is indeed to explore the abyss." The captain looked around and continued.
"The group of ruins discovered this time is very special. I believe you can also find that the activity of the surrounding abyssal alien species is more intense than other ruins. It is impossible for the association to abandon this group of ruins."
"Based on the balance, I think Locke's previous proposal should be the most appropriate." The captain smiled kindly at Locke.
Locke quickly lowered his head and saluted. This was a completely subconscious action. Locke gritted his teeth after he reacted. He couldn't hold his breath!
Now that the captain has spoken, it means that the final decision has been made. The remaining pioneers have no other objections, and even if they do, they have to keep it in their hearts.
After the meeting was disbanded, the camp began to act in accordance with the previous decision, temporarily shrinking the scope of the protective shield, part of the frequency modulation timer stopped operating, and the redundant pioneers began to prepare for the surface.
The whole process progressed very quickly and was completed in almost half a day.
"Captain, are you going to stay?" Next to the captain, a captain-level pioneer asked.
The captain looked at the pioneers in the camp who were preparing for the first ascent and said with a smile: "No, I'm not suitable. Let's leave this place to the young people. They need to be trained."
The captain-level pioneer was silent for a moment and hesitated for a moment before speaking: "I don't think Locke is suitable to stay. He is a little..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the captain, "Don't doubt others at will. It's meaningless. Humanity will be magnified in the abyss. What we need to do is maintain stability."
"In addition, Locke's team is not left behind, there is also a team of pioneers. They can restrain each other to some extent."
The captain withdrew his gaze. While they were talking, the first group of teams that surfaced had successfully evacuated. All that was needed to do next was to take step-by-step actions.
"Akasis asked me to go to depth 214 to find the fallen angels. I heard that when we dived, there were some minor problems in the Holy Prison in the Eternal City."
Akasis Langston, the captain-level pioneer, naturally knows this name because it represents the association.
"Fallen angels? Did they appear in this world?" The captain-level pioneer was surprised.
The captain smiled nonchalantly, "Who knows, the Roman Holy Church controls information in this area very strictly, and the association also spent several chess pieces to get the information."
A hundred years ago, the Gate of the Abyss was opened by the Holy See. That disaster allowed many abyssal alien species to break through the barriers between the abyss and the real world. Nowadays, the two worlds are intersecting more and more, and I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.
"In addition, there are also some problems on the vampire side, but these are not what we need to worry about. Let those in the association have a headache."
"Captain, where are you going?"
"I won't follow the team up. I'll leave the rest of the work to you." The captain turned around, waved his hand and left the camp, leaving only the captain who looked confused and at a loss.
At the same time, in Locke's camp, Meyer observed the situation in the camp and said: "It seems that your plan was successful. There are only two exorcist teams left, and you are one of them."
Mayer looked at Locke, who lowered his head in deep thought and didn't notice Mayer's words at all.
"Locke." Mayer called Locke.
Only then did Locke come back to his senses. He raised his head and looked at Mayer and said, "What's wrong?"
"What are you worried about? Your plan is going well so far." Mayer asked.
But when Mayer said this, Locke shook his head slightly, not knowing what he was denying.
"It's true that the plan was successful, but I always feel that something is wrong. I don't know what the situation is with the captain. I may be suspected, or I may be overly concerned." Locke was affected.
According to Locke's original thoughts, this decision could not be confirmed so easily. There should be some dealings in the process. However, the captain directly decided the next action in one sentence. Locke's plan could go so smoothly.
A large part of the reason lies with the captain.
It felt like the captain was deliberately helping him.
