Underworld Retrograde

The mines were buried for a relatively short period of time and were at least installed decades after the Dead Sea Hulk was formed.

But who will it be at that time?

The Ark elect who previously challenged the Dead Sea Hulk?

But since they are all psychics of the fifth or sixth consciousness, there should be no need to use mines.

Or do they want to use landmines to draw the enemy's attention?

Or is there a survivor in a ship captured by a Dead Sea hulk?

Did they fight back against the flesh aberrations in this dangerous area? Landmines are one of their methods?

As for scavengers, Li Yelai didn't consider them. Even the authorities are not aware of the Dead Sea hulk located in the deep sea, and scavengers are unable to come here.

"Jing Lin, do you have the ability to track traces?" Li Yelai asked in a low voice.

If you have this ability, it will be easier to track and investigate.

Detectives who are also on the Spiritual Eye Path have these abilities. On-site encounters can be restored through traces.

"No, but I have the ability of 'extreme subtlety' and can observe subtle differences. The thickness of dust on the ground and on mines is completely different." The left eye exposed under Jing Lin's mask was already a little dim, but he didn't care. Instead, he responded: "It may be difficult for you to notice, but in my eyes, this difference is particularly obvious."

"It's difficult to determine the identity of the other party based on this alone. Let's move on. If there are survivors, it will be a good thing for us." Li Yelai said.

"That's right. The latest batch of lost fleets investigated by the official is the border fleet of Border City No. 1. If there are survivors, it is likely to be them."

"But the time is too far away, forty or fifty years, even if it is really them." Li Yelai shook his head and sighed.

If it is really the border fleet, it is Li Yelai's comrades. But in this environment, without any reinforcements or any logistical supplies. It may be difficult for the survivors to hold on until now.

"It's been too long after all, so we still have to be careful. I'll go ahead. I can see more with my eyes." As he spoke, Jing Lin's left eye gradually began to recover. He held a spear and walked in front.

Li Yelai did not distance himself, but followed Jing Lin one step behind, covering his side.

The two quickly passed through the breach area silently, and they saw a flesh-and-blood aberration that was walking around.

He was about two and a half meters tall, and his body was still close to a humanoid shape, but his head was covered with huge sarcoma, and among the sarcomas was a large, glowing red eye.

It might be something like a sentinel, detached from the blood vessels on the hull, patrolling back and forth nearby.

Its patrol range is not large, and its field of view seems to be only a dozen meters. But in the area where it is located, there are more than a dozen ordinary flesh and blood aberrations.

It is a bit difficult to avoid it for assassination.

And once it is killed, it may alert nearby flesh and blood aberrations.

"It's going to be difficult." Jing Lin whispered: "We have to wait until it is far away from this aberration, and then kill it first."

"Well, just in case, let's do it together." Li Yelai responded.

"Okay, one after the other, stab him to death!" The two spearmen reached an agreement.

After seeing the Sentinel aberration turning back and forth twice, he locked its movement trajectory and then silently approached it, lurking around its corner.

The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, calmly watched the Sentinel aberration approaching.

Li Yelai stretched out his fingers again and gestured at Jing Lin. The two have worked together many times, so they have a tacit understanding.

The moment the sentry approached, Li Yelai bent his second finger.

The two men have begun to tighten their muscles and are about to launch a fatal attack.

However, just when Li Yelai was about to bend his last finger, the sentry less than four meters away from the two men was suddenly shocked.

At the same time, the expressions of the two people who were about to take action changed and they immediately hid around the corner.

And almost at the same time, the sarcoma on the sentinel's body suddenly unfolded, and more than a dozen tentacles suddenly pierced out, probing in all directions!

The nearest tentacle was less than twenty centimeters away from Li Yelai's cheek!

This made both of them nervous, thinking that the sentry had discovered them.

But the sentry still didn't move. After a few seconds, all the tentacles retracted into the sarcoma.

The sentries continued patrolling.

This time, Li Yelai and Jing Lin didn't hesitate and took action immediately!

The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, wielded their psychic weapons at the same time. It was like two blades colliding with each other, directly cutting off the sentry's head!

Before its head hit the ground, Jing Lin picked it up with a shot. The gun barrel shook, shattering the eyes and various tissues inside.

Li Yelai danced his halberd again. The halberd penetrated the chest of the sentry aberration and twisted it hard!

Eighteen picks with one hand·Turn!

The sharp double ears rotated, directly smashing all its internal organs including the heart!

Then, the two men gently put down the head and body. Try not to make any noise.

After doing all this, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"What was that just now? Did you notice us?" Jing Lin asked in a low voice.

"Maybe, but it could also be just a routine inspection." Li Yelai slowly exhaled: "Fortunately, for us, it was easy to avoid at the speed just now."

"That's true. If we had gone faster, we would have been caught." Jing Lin complained, "It's so sinister."

The sentry's sudden movement caught people off guard. Fortunately, both of them reacted very quickly and were able to avoid it safely.

But if it is a psychic of the third or fourth awakening, it will be dangerous. It is easy to be attacked if you are caught off guard.

Then, the two began to clean up the scene again and eliminate the sleeping aberrations.

However, here, people unexpectedly saw some clothes on the aberrations.

Most of the aberrations have their clothes broken or worn out due to the deformation of their bodies.

Among the aberrations here, there is actually a aberration wearing combat uniforms and bulletproof vests.

Perhaps it is because the bulletproof vest is too strong and cannot be stretched, so it is retained on its body.

Li Yelai squatted down to check, and soon took out a military officer certificate that had been corroded for the most part from the tactical uniform.

Although the name and specific information cannot be seen, it can be confirmed that this is indeed a soldier from the border fleet.

"After the border fleet lost contact that year, it was indeed brought here." Li Yelai looked at the flesh and blood aberration and sighed softly. It feels really bad to bury a comrade.

Jing Lin's eyes had recovered. He looked at the flesh and blood deformer and said, "It was transformed after death. There are obvious penetrating wounds on his bulletproof vest. It is possible that the bodies that died near these blood vessels will be transformed into flesh and blood deformers." "I don't know how many more people there will be." Li Yelai whispered. Then, the two continued to move forward. Because many passages were blocked due to distortion, the way forward for the two was blocked. If they cut rashly, they were worried about attracting deformers. So, the two put on oxygen masks and dived into the cabin flooded by seawater. With the psychic barrier, they could move freely underwater without diving suits. After swimming for more than ten minutes, the two finally found a torn gap. After the two climbed out of the gap, they saw an even more bizarre scene. They saw a large number of ships, which were kneaded together by some kind of force. The hulls had long been twisted and deformed, and the hulls were piled up. It turned into a huge iron curtain. The bottom of the ship, the bridge, and the deck were all strangely stacked into a desperate iron curtain, and there were a lot of blood vessels spreading from the hull. On those blood vessels, each of the flesh and blood deformed bodies was beating with a faint red light.

It was like a red starry sky, like a red nightmare!

‘Hiss’ Li Yelai and Jing Lin both took a breath of cold air. Hundreds of red lights, which meant that there were thousands of flesh and blood deformed bodies!

Moreover, some deformed bodies were even larger and seemed to be more powerful!

“How many people did it capture?” Jing Lin shook his head: “We can’t force it. There are so many monsters, and they all have psychic barriers. Even if we use the Sky Fire Eye, we can’t destroy them all in a short time.”

“Let alone destroying them, once a battle breaks out, the structure here will probably collapse instantly. Even if I don’t trigger the vehicle killer, this place will disintegrate.” Li Yelai responded in a low voice.

“The only thing to be thankful for is that there is still oxygen here. Otherwise, how uncomfortable we would be.” Jing Lin took off his oxygen mask.

He looked around and was startled immediately, and immediately pointed to a capsized ship in the distance.

The ship was relatively intact, wrapped by countless ships, but the huge deck was exposed.

"Look, an invincible missile destroyer!"

Li Yelai was startled, looking at the huge ship and the large number of missile silos on the deck, and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "How did you recognize it?"

Li Yelai had never seen the ocean, and his understanding of warships was really not very clear.

He really couldn't tell the difference between destroyers and cruisers.

"The official showed me all the overhead photos of the warships on record. If my memory is correct, it should be a destroyer." Jing Lin was not sure: "I heard that it was our strongest destroyer before the disaster. But the foreigners at that time called it a cruiser, maybe the definition was different. I can't tell it either. I haven't seen a warship!"

As a resident of the Yaoqing giant city, Jing Lin has never seen the sea.

If there is anyone who knows about warships, it should be Border City No. 1, after all, it has a military port before the disaster.

It is really difficult for Li Yelai and Jing Lin, who have never seen the sea, to distinguish warships.

"But I know that this warship was the overlord of the sea before the disaster. The missiles it launched can reach a maximum speed of Mach 10! If it hits directly, anyone below the overlord will die! Unfortunately, after the technological gap, humans can no longer make such things." Jing Lin shook his head.

"If we carry one back, will it be considered as completing the mission?" Li Yelai asked: "When the time comes, you take it back and let Jucheng study it. Maybe we can bring back the technology."

"Jucheng actually has missiles. Although I am not a scientific researcher, I also know that it is difficult to reconnect the technological gap. Without the corresponding industry and knowledge, it is difficult to continue even if there are finished products." Jing Lin thought: "But we can also go and see, maybe we can find information about the fleet's loss of contact from the logbook."

After the two made up their minds, they approached the destroyer that was lined up in the iron curtain.

However, as they approached the iron curtain, they saw more and more dense blood vessels. And even more dense flesh and blood deformities!

They were sleeping on the deck, in the cabin, and in various places.

Making the two people move slower and slower.

They had to stab the aberrations one by one along the way, and it took them nearly two hours to get close to the Iron Curtain.

When passing through a bent whaler, the two saw a plaster flag.

There were several footprints on it, and it was torn.

Obviously, the survivors who had been here were not satisfied with this thing.

The two of them also sneered, and immediately stepped on it a few more times.

Later, Jing Lin said: "Judging from the dust on the footprints just now, the interval between two of them is no more than three years."

"In other words, there have been survivors who have lived here for at least two years?" Li Yelai was surprised.

"Indeed, if it wasn't the Ark voters who came here to challenge, it would be them. But it was only two or three years." Jing Lin shook his head and said: "The fleet that has lost contact recently is more than forty years old."

The two continued to move forward and began to climb up the Iron Curtain.

In order not to cause trouble, they did not use air stepping. It took them a long time.

As the two walked past a broken cruise ship, the deck beneath their feet suddenly cracked.

The expressions of the two changed and they immediately jumped out more than ten meters.

But the deck still broke, and a large piece of metal plate fell off and crashed downward.

Li Yelai and Jing Lin looked ugly, but they could only watch as the metal block hit a fishing boat below heavily, and the sharp metal plate actually cut the fishing boat directly in pieces. This caused a huge noise, and the terrifying sound of metal twisting and bending was heard throughout the Iron Curtain.

This undoubtedly alarmed the sleeping flesh and blood aberrations. The flashing red light suddenly became rapid, and each of the flesh and blood aberrations was waking up.

Li Yelai and Jing Lin's faces were gloomy, and they immediately raised their psychic weapons and prepared for a battle!

Jing Lin's eyes flashed, and there seemed to be subtle spiritual waves coming from his forehead.

And Li Yelai's pupils turned into gilded gold, although he couldn't use the white face paint to crush them all into pulp.

But Mimic·Dragon Soul Divine Treasure can still be used to attack groups!

However, those flesh and blood aberrations rushed towards the bottom of the Iron Curtain where the sound finally came out, and did not find the two people hanging on the Iron Curtain.

This made the two people gradually let go of their worries and immediately hid in the cabin.

After a few minutes, the alarmed aberrations failed to find any enemies, so they returned to their blood vessels and fell into a deep sleep again.

"It seems that they are not very sharp. As long as they are not dragged down, we can use sound to lure them away." Jing Lin said.

"Indeed." Li Yelai also breathed a sigh of relief. Neither of them wanted to fight so many monsters head-on unless they had to.

"Let's go, we're almost there." Li Yelai looked up at the destroyer, which was still more than eighty meters away from him, but he was horrified to see a figure standing on the overturned bridge, which was lifeless. His eyes were looking down at the two people below coldly.

And the next moment, the figure shook and disappeared completely. (End of chapter)
