The legend of Tiga

Chapter 1273 Black Mist
Swish!Swish!
The occupants in the diving cabin looked over in unison, and then turned back, busy with their own affairs. It is trivial to have nothing abnormal in the deep sea. The depth and high pressure of hundreds of kilometers are enough to magnify all problems. It is the experience summed up through years of blood and tears.

Sudden disconnection can be a false alarm, but it can also be a huge nuisance.

Qiao Yanma gave the order calmly: "Maybe the signal is blocked, keep going up and keep in touch."

"Understood!" The operator skillfully controlled the submersible to slowly float upwards, and the connection might be restored after surpassing this 'mountain', which was suspected of being artificially created.

The submarine was floating upwards at the fastest speed in the silence, but compared to the water depth of thousands of meters, it was too slow. It was always going upwards, but there was no light at all, and some only had deep darkness. Even the powerful searchlights can only illuminate a very short distance.

"Huh!" The lookout in charge of the lighting uttered doubts and surprises. The voice was not loud, but it made everyone's hearts tense. Since they gave up the survey mission and started to float, the situation continued. It was no longer as relaxed as before, but became tense, and the slightest sign of trouble made my heart jump.

Qiao Yanjian was dealing with the disconnection of the connection. Hearing this voice, he quickly turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"There seems to be something wrong with the searchlight." The lookout has started to check according to the manual, but what surprised him is that the value has not changed, and the system has not reported an error. Obviously everything is normal, but years of experience tell him that the illuminated area has narrowed up.

Qiao Yanjian couldn't sit still now. There is no light in the deep sea. Searchlights and sonar are equivalent to the eyes and ears of a submersible. Now there may be something wrong with the "eyes". What about when things go wrong one after another.

Thinking about it, Qiao Yanma turned his head and looked at the cameras installed around the submersible. In the real-time pictures taken, there were only bunches of lampposts shining in the seawater, illuminating the nearby seawater, while still farther away were It was pitch black, and Qiao Yanjian couldn't help but frown just by looking at it, and asked, "Have the searchlights been turned on to the maximum?"

The lookout glanced at the screen in front of him, and after confirming, he said, "Yes, Director, it has been turned to the maximum."

"It shouldn't be." Qiao Yanma said in a low voice. Experience told him that the distance illuminated by the searchlight is a bit short, so it may be that the line is faulty.

He was about to order someone to check the offline, but it seemed to be shortened a little bit, which made Qiao Yanma startled, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, carefully looked at the "outside" on the screen, and then realized that this was not his illusion, The distance illuminated by the searchlight is indeed shortening at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This..." Joe Iwama, who has always felt well-informed, was also stunned at this time. He has been engaged in deep sea exploration for so many years and has encountered many problems, but this is the first time he has seen such a situation. Quickly click After a few clicks, the pictures in the other three directions are also displayed on the screen in front of you.

In this comparison, the gap is even more obvious, which means that the range that the searchlights in this direction can illuminate is indeed at least one-third shorter, and it is still shortening.

Looking at it, a thought appeared in Qiao Yanma's mind. Either the searchlight was out of order, and the power was still steadily reduced, resulting in a continuous shortening of the illumination range, or there were things that could not be illuminated by the beam of light. near.

"Leave immediately," Qiao Yanjian thought of the 'warning' that Jujianhui had just said, and immediately shouted: "Back, back."

"Ah! Yes!" The operator hurriedly carried out Joe Iwama's order, and turned on the power of the engine to the maximum. He couldn't float up quickly, so he could only move laterally.

The roar of the engine reverberated on the bottom of the sea, which also made the submersible shake rhythmically. The crew next to him couldn't help but peek at Director Qiao Yanma from the corner of his eye. It was very dangerous to propel at full speed on such a deep bottom. Something, so I really want to know what it is that is worth the risk.

Qiao Yanma had no time to care about other things, his eyes were fixed on the screen in front of him, staring at the dark sea water that the searchlight could not penetrate, but the result of visual inspection made him feel extremely uneasy, the illuminated range was still Shrinking means that the speed of the submersible is not fast enough.

Immediately afterwards, he saw an even more disturbing scene. The No. [-] unmanned probe, which was returning according to the procedure, was caught at the limit of the range of the searchlight because it was not fast enough, and was chased by the dark sea water. Above, a cluster of intense sparks burst out in the darkness, and then fell into silence.

Immediately, a report sounded in the submersible: "No. [-] detector lost signal and is re-establishing connection."

Now Qiao Yanma knew how the No. [-] detector was disconnected, and also confirmed that it was not the dark sea water that could not be illuminated, but something else.

The range of the searchlight is still being compressed. If this continues, the submersible will also be caught up. By then
Qiao Yanjian didn't know what would happen, but it would definitely not be a good thing. He took a deep breath, picked up the communicator next to him with a trembling hand, and said, "Headquarters, this is the Dragon Palace. , 215 points, and a water depth of 515 meters."

Joe Iwama’s voice echoed in the submersible, causing all the crew members to turn their heads. Some of them looked at Joe Iwama in shock, confusion or horror, who basically represented that he was “confessing his last words”. Someone couldn’t help but ask: "Director, what happened?"

"...I will be caught up soon, and the communication may be interrupted, but before that, maybe we can see what it is, and we will try our best to pass on the information." After Qiao Yanjian finished speaking, without waiting for a response, Immediately shouted to the crew: "Prepare for emergency communication, use everything."

The crew members trembled, and strong fear and uneasiness emerged in their hearts. The atmosphere inside the submersible instantly dropped to freezing point, but the long-term training and strict discipline allowed them to still carry out orders, transfer all the communication methods they carried, The buoys, drifting beacons, dyes, etc. are all turned on. As long as Joe Iwama gives an order, relevant information will be input and then released.

"Come on, let me see what you are?" Qiao Yanjian's eyes widened like never before, and he couldn't escape, so let's see what is trying to kill them.

At this time, just as Jujian Hui boarded the Sherlock, a message came out of TPC's internal communication: the Dragon Palace lost contact, and the last message was vague, and the barely distinguishable words were——

Black fog!
