Age Of The Sirens

Undersea robots are building the first area of ​​the mining base on the seabed day and night. On the other hand, researchers are already preparing for the first underwater field survey.In addition to assisting in the base construction, the team members must also protect the researchers who took a small submarine to enter the trench to search for flammable ice veins.

Team Fifteen escorted three researchers to search the western side of the northern Mariana Trench.The wide trench stretches across the middle of the sea, like a deep scar on the earth where the bones can be seen.The blackness below was thick and dark, dead silent.The cliffs on the west side are very steep, and the ancient giant rocks are stacked one after another. The complex rock structure makes it difficult to dive.The interior walls of the narrow deep submarine project the scene outside the submarine, as if the entire submarine is transparent.Intense lights shine on all kinds of grotesque landforms, and farther away is the endless darkness, which feels like a wild dance of demons.

Unfortunately, Han Qi was among the three researchers.Now when Tang Yi sees Han Qi, he has the urge to pull out all the blue hair on the top of that kid's head, but Han Qi probably also sensed the strong murderous aura around him, and every time he is always accompanied by someone, he has never been caught by Tang Yi It's time to go it alone.This made Tang Yi very angry.

The other two researchers include Dr. Zhao, a geologist, and a female research specialist from the Energy Administration.Dr. Zhao analyzed the position of combustible ice between 300 meters and 1000 meters under the sea, so they dived to a depth of about 500 meters and used detectors to locate it.

There are not even fish in the silent darkness.The sunlight has disappeared here, there are grains of diatoms floating in the sea, and the occasional fish are all strangely shaped and dull in color.Pairs of white eyes seemed to be monsters swimming in from a different-dimensional passage. Occasionally, ghosts flashed past the submarine and hid in the crevices of the rocks.

Tang Yi didn't like this place.The infrasound waves here are different from the sea water elsewhere.The sound here is extremely profound, as if it runs through time and space, and there are some goosebump-inducing abnormal noises in it. It is unclear whether it is the sound made by some unknown creature.That darkness is a field that humans have hardly set foot in. Who knows what's inside?

What Jonney and the others told him about the mysteriously missing five sailors came back to his memory, and Tang Yi shivered.

Mercury noticed Tang Yi's suddenly pale face.He wanted to reach out and pat him on the shoulder, but he just raised his hand halfway and put it back again.

The solitary submarine is like a small fish floating on the abyss, a little bit of faint light, swaying in the tide.Han Qi was excitedly snapping photos of those fishes, but suddenly, he froze for a moment.

"what?"

Dr. Zhao glanced at him, "Did you find anything?"

"I thought, I just saw something like a fossilized seaweed on a rock."

Dr. Zhao smiled, "It's impossible for such a deep place to have macroalgae that can leave fossils."

Han Qi showed him the camera in his hand, Dr. Zhao's smile froze, and he immediately ordered the submarine to move back a little.Tang Yi couldn't see any algae fossils, but some winding patterns on the stone.

Another female researcher said, "It looks a lot like sargassum, it needs light to grow, why is it here?"

Lin Maochen chewed his gum and said with a smile, "Maybe tens of thousands of years ago, there was sunshine in the shallow sea?"

The three researchers started chattering and discussing again, and all the team members had nothing to do, so they had to continue playing cards.Tang Yi didn't play with them, and sat on the side by himself, listening to the strong music with headphones on his ears.Peacock suddenly sat next to him and ripped off one of his earphones with his fingers.

"You look depressed recently?" Peacock smiled half-smile, with a playful expression.

Tang Yi snatched the earphones back, "No."

Peacock whispered in an infrasound that only the two of them could hear, "Did someone piss you off?"

Tsuruta Carpenter on the other side was already looking at them, Tang Yi squinted at the peacock, "Why are you so concerned about me? Could it be to make your master jealous..."

"Sometimes it's really a good way to make the other party jealous." Peacock leaned back against the bulkhead, a sly smile appeared on Mo Mei's face, "You and Luo Wei did a good job before, and he has already started I care about you. Although it was just possessive, it is finally making progress."

"Enough." Tang Yi interrupted him coldly, "I don't want to play your game anymore, you should be optimistic about your own master."

At this moment, Dr. Zhao suddenly heard shouting excitedly, "I found it! I found it!"

Turning a steep corner, suddenly a large piece of crystal clear ice was stored in the grooves formed by a pile of boulders like a small lake in front of it. The holy white reflected the dazzling light, and some ice creams were like frosted sugar. Generally spread on rough stone walls.This is the energy that human beings rely on for survival - combustible ice.

Dr. Zhao insisted on putting on the anti-stress diving suit first and going out to collect some specimens back to the base. He had no choice but to leave behind Luo Wei, Tan Mingyuan and two other researchers who were driving the submarine, and the rest of the team took the Kraken and Dr. Zhao out.

The pressure of the sea water pushed heavily on the anti-pressure suit, and Tang Yi felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and his movements were a little sluggish.The sea monsters could still move freely in this environment, and seeing Quicksilver swimming beside him flexibly made Tang Yi very envious.

But at this moment, Mercury's words came from Tang Yi's headset, "This place gives me a bad feeling."

Tang Yi looked up at him suspiciously, "What?"

"Don't you feel it? This trench feels like a grave."

Tang Yi cleared his throat, "Don't think about it, we won't go too deep."

With the help of Tsuruta, Dr. Zhao carefully stepped on the edge of the flammable ice lake, and opened the special high-pressure freezing bottle.In the other room, Lin Maochen chiseled off some pieces of ice with a dagger, and carefully put them into a high-pressure bottle with tweezers.

At this time, Tang Yi heard a strange sound coming from the abyss.

The extremely hollow sound seemed to be the sound of wind blowing from a bottomless cave, but it was too clear.Tang Yi turned his head suddenly, and found that Tsuruta Takumi was listening with his head raised.All the Krakens present also stopped their movements.

"Something's wrong!" Tang Yi yelled, "Get out!"

Dr. Zhao wanted to protest at first, but Tsuruta couldn't allow him to object. He closed the pressure bottle and grabbed Dr. Zhao, who was about to jump into the sea from the edge of the cliff and swim back.At this time, a lamp appeared in the abyss below.

That little lamp fluttered like a will-o'-the-wisp, and it was impossible to tell what it was.But even people with no common sense know that such a cluster of small lights should not appear in such a deep trench...

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

"Don't be in a daze, let's go!" Tsuruta roared, turned on the thrusters of the diving suit, and pulled the doctor towards the direction of the small submarine at full speed.However, the rising speed of that lamp suddenly accelerated, and almost instantly, everyone suddenly saw the appearance of that thing clearly.

It was a fish, a fish as big as the Blue Whale.

The fat body is covered with sharp thorns like sharp swords, the rough skin is like a rock, a pair of white eyes on the ugly and huge face, a long beard in the middle, and at the end hangs the lamp they have seen before. The "Little Light".However, the most frightening thing is the huge mouth that almost occupies the entire face of the strange fish.

It was a huge mouth that could swallow a sperm whale. It opened wide, and the crimson mouth inside was full of sharp teeth.

The strange fish stirred up the sea current, and everyone felt their bodies being sucked involuntarily.Tang Yizheng was unsteady and was swept in by the current.His yell echoed in the helmet, and he was suddenly embraced by Quicksilver, forcibly pulling him out of the torrent.Tang Yi was only a dozen meters away from the mouth of the ugly big fish just now, he was still in shock, he hugged Mercury tightly, panting heavily.

Quicksilver whispered in his ear, "It's all right."

Tang Yi swallowed and calmed down a little.Damn it... Such a thing suddenly sprang out from the abyss, and it was so fast, it was so cheating!Doesn't it mean that this should be a very safe task? !

He suddenly realized that he was clinging to Quicksilver like an octopus, and quickly let go of his hand and stepped back a long way.At this moment, the peacock exclaimed.

However, the strange fish seemed to have a target and rushed towards the submarine. The first to bear the brunt were Tsuruta Takuma and Dr. Zhao.The peacock roared over with an ultrasonic wave, and the fat body of the strange fish trembled heavily, but became more angry, and took a deep breath of water.He Tian and Dr. Zhao were sucked into the mouth of the strange fish by the powerful sea current, and the peacock instantly turned into a blue lightning, and rushed across the turbulent current, but only had time to grab He Tian's body.

Dr. Zhao screamed and was devoured by the strange fish, and his mouth full of sharp teeth closed again in an instant.A thread of blood spread in the air.

Everything happened so fast, not even a minute.Mercury was the first to burst out a wave of ultrasonic waves, and Lan Huang joined in later.The monster fish turned its huge body between the bombardment of the two forces, and the violent current made all humans, including the submarine, unable to control themselves.The submarine passed by the chaotic rocks on the cliff again and again, and there was a lot of danger.

Tsuruta's order came, "Retreat!"

Quicksilver shouted, "I'll take cover, you go back to the submarine first!"

Tang Yi also opened his wrist gun and shot at the strange fish, following the rhythm of mercury ultrasound.The strange fish roared angrily, and the sound waves rolled up layer upon layer.Tang Yi was barely able to maintain his balance, and continued to shoot.

It's just that he's running low on ammo.This time, I was only out for preliminary exploration, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

Tsuruta Peacock, Lin Maochen and Lanhuang are already close to the submarine.Tang Yi shouted to Shuiyin, "Enough! Let's go!"

Tang Yi turned on the propulsion device on the diving suit, and the two stumbled towards the direction of the submarine.But the strange fish had already been irritated by the two of them, and didn't intend to let them go, so it suddenly ran towards Tang Yi like a madman.

"Be careful!!!"

When Tang Yi saw the body of the strange fish squeezed towards him like a copper wall and iron wall, Quicksilver suddenly appeared in front of him, hugged him and slammed into the cliff.

Tang Yi closed his eyes reflexively, and heard loud noises like landslides and ground cracks all around him, and everything around him was shaking.However, Quicksilver hugged his body tightly, and the cheeks of the two rubbed against each other.His breath was so close, surrounding him layer by layer.

He suddenly had a thought: It would be nice to die together like this...

When the shaking stopped, and the angry roar of the strange fish was still lingering in a place that seemed a little far away, Tang Yi opened his eyes.He and Quicksilver were curled up in a deeply recessed cave between the stone walls at this moment, and the entrance of the cave had been hit by the strange fish and half collapsed.And outside, a huge, evil white eye stared at them through a crack in the rock.

Tang Yi couldn't help cursing, "MotherFucker!!!"

Luo Wei shouted nervously in the headset, "Brother Tang! How are you! Are you okay?!"

Tang Yi pressed the headset button and replied, "Shuiyin and I are still alive."

The person on the other side seemed to be relieved, but then became nervous again, "You wait, we will find a way to rescue you right away."

"Don't! This fish is very irritable, you should go back and find more sea monsters to deal with him together!"

There was silence on the other side for a while, probably because they were discussing right and wrong.After about a minute, Tsuruta's voice came, "You and Quicksilver hold on, we'll be right back."

Tang Yi heaved a sigh of relief and leaned back.The strange fish was still hanging on outside their hole, making a low grunt.

The cave was pitifully small, and he was crowded with Quicksilver.Quicksilver's solid chest rubbed against him behind him, and his breath was also blown out from his small gills, turning into small streams of water and blowing on Tang Yi's helmet.

The atmosphere was really embarrassing.

Tang Yi coughed, "Looks like we have to wait...how come you produce such vicious seafood in your sea..."

"It looks like an anglerfish, a deep-water creature, but I've never heard of such a big one." Quicksilver brushed away a few boulders with his tail, "And... I think this attack is very strange, it seems Deliberately trying to target the submarine."

Just as he was talking, the strange fish suddenly slammed into the stone wall again.The huge force caused the entire cave to shake violently, Tang Yi and Quicksilver huddled together, and the stones smashed against him.

"Could the mother stop for a while!!!"

Obviously, the strange fish didn't intend to stop, hitting the hole again and again.If this continues, they will definitely be buried alive in this small cave.

"I can't do it! Go out!" Tang Yi shouted.

Quicksilver screamed and shook away the stones blocking the entrance of the cave, and the sudden attack caused the strange fish to retreat a few meters.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang Yi and Shui Yin swam out of the cave, but the upward Lubei monster fish was sealed, and they had no choice but to dive down towards the abyss.The anglerfish behind roared, dangling that weird "lantern" and followed them after them.

In the process of sinking in the abyss, Tang Yi once again remembered the ghost story about the Mariana Trench that Jonney and the others told.At that time, he still felt that he would never go to such a deep place.

But now it seems that his bad luck is not over yet.
