"The depth reached 2,100 meters, and the Trieste is operating normally."
"The depth reached 4,700 meters, and everything on the Diliaster is operating normally."
…
The intertwined voices of Caesar, Fu Nian and Chu Zihang were transmitted along the cable of the submersible to the ears of Yuan Zhisheng in Xumizuo,
"Xumi Zuo received it. Please stay vigilant." Yuan Zhisheng would respond to the people under the deep sea with his own reminder after every call.
Caesar: "The depth reaches 7900 meters, everything on the Diliest...!!"
Yuan Zhisheng: "Xumi Zuo received it, please..."
"Holy shit! Oh shit, shit, shit, shit!!" Before Yuan Zhisheng's voice could finish speaking, a rough roar appeared intermittently along the cable in Yuan Zhisheng's ears.
Standing in the strong wind, Yuan Zhisheng's expression suddenly changed.
"This is the Xumi constellation. The Diliest has received it. Please reply. This is the Xumi constellation..."
Yuan Zhisheng said as he ran towards the research center of Xumizuo, "Gather!"
A large number of armed personnel followed Yuan Zhisheng and rushed towards the research center.
Together with a group of scientific researchers in white coats who were squatting in front of the railing of Xumizuo, watching the sea blowing in the wind and smoking their butts.
"What happened! What happened!! The Diliest received it. Please answer."
Yuan Zhisheng stood in front of the big screen in the research command center. The busy staff in front of him had anxious eyes.
They need to delay the scene seen by the Diliaster. Due to the current emergency, they can only judge the current situation of the Diliaster's dock based on speculative data.
But now the data in front of Yuan Zhisheng shows.
Everything is going well with the Deliast, even a little bit surprisingly good.
"Holy shit, this is so fucking beautiful."
After Caesar trembled and cursed, the voice of exclamation slowly reached the command center along the cable.
The staff in white coats who were running wildly stood there blankly. The corners of Yuan Zhisheng's mouth twitched crazily.
…
Caesar and Fu Nian pressed their faces to the picture in front of the screen. Chu Zihang also leaned forward curiously, and the light shone on their faces through the screen. It was a warm red light, shining brightly.
, like the color of an egg yolk that has been peeled off in a warm winter day.
But this is a deep sea with a depth of 7,900 meters, which should be a place of absolute darkness.
But now.
The color of the water is like the sunset. Thousands of fish are entangled in large schools floating in the twilight water. They are like large tornadoes, spiraling upward one by one, from the end of the light to the darkness in the distance.
, from top to bottom, the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and the fish schools gathering are getting denser and denser.
The huge Deliast was as small as a stone on the beach in front of them.
Some of these fish are as white as silver, some are almost transparent, and some emit a faint blue fluorescence, but when gathered together, they look like a rainbow bent by a tornado. The gleaming luster shines between the fish scales
Magnificent and magnificent scenery.
There are giant manta rays fanning their fleshy, feathery fins to pierce through the schools of fish.
There are also clumsy turtles waving their wing-like fins, being carried into the center of the whirlpool by the floating water, and then struggling to climb outward.
Most of these fish the three of them had never seen before,
Even though some fish are very similar to the fish they are familiar with, they are very different.
For example, the manta ray's head has a black-gray armor-like exoskeleton, like a combination of a pangolin and a manta ray. The swimming turtle's carapace is not a hard crack of the turtle shell, but fleshy and bright red.
The cracked red basalt rock slowly swam forward with a bunch of small, transparent and crystal-clear fish biting on its small tail.
But under close observation, with the close range of the macro camera, Fu Nian and Caesar could clearly see the small fish's shiny, blade-like scales, and... the sharp teeth that penetrated the lower jaw.
Like two fangs, with frightening sharpness.
The scene in front of me has a vast, glorious momentum, and dreamy beauty, but under a close inspection of the beauty, what is exposed is weird, bizarre, and an almost crazy biological mutation.
"The ecological environment here is a bit abnormal. After going through the bottomless dive, I originally thought that the depths of the abyss would be some kind of dark and silent ghost place. But now it seems a bit hard to understand." Caesar threw
Open the screen in front of you and crawl towards the upper window of the submersible.
Because a huge tail had just crossed in front of their screen. One side of the tail alone was almost ten meters long. From this angle of the screen in front of them, they could not see each other's whole face.
Finally, Caesar saw this big guy. It was a huge whale. It stirred the sea water with its long tail, leaving a transparent vortex with a diameter of more than ten meters. Its huge body hit the sea water forward, making a thunderous sound.
This is a giant whale that is over a hundred meters long, with cloud-like patterns rolling under its gray-white belly. There should not be such a big whale in the world.
Because blue whales are the largest animals known to humans to have ever survived on earth, but their maximum length is only 33 meters. And this is a giant monster that is nearly 100 meters long.
"It turns out that the legend is true." Caesar put his eyes on the edge of the window, like a child who came to the aquarium for the first time to see a corner of the world.
Suddenly, Caesar's eyes froze. He saw a thick layer of green rock formations on the belly of the giant whale, which were like sedimentary rocks deposited on the seabed. Over time, they formed a thick coral-like layer.
bulge.
But this is not the focus of Caesar's attention. The accumulation of coral sedimentary rocks is not a strange place. Because whales in the deep sea have no scales on their surface and their skin is as smooth as humans, they are easily affected by parasites. This phenomenon is still quite common in whales.
Normal.
What really attracted him was that he actually saw under the layers of coral protrusions...
"Those are scales?" Caesar looked confused. "Whale scales?!!"
When Caesar saw it, Chu Zihang also noticed this.
"The ecological environment is abnormal, which means there is something unusual nearby that has rebuilt the ecological environment."
Chu Zihang no longer followed Caesar and focused on the big fish. Instead, he looked below the submersible.
"Look down, we are right above Jiyuan."
Fu Nian lay on the observation window and looked down, finally understanding why the sea water here turned red like sunset.
They are now above the Japan Trench. Below them, there is a gently sloping seabed on one side and a steep and rugged cliff on the other. In the middle of them is a huge flowing bend, but the flow in the bend is not what it is.
Sea water, but hot and boiling lava.
The left side belongs to the Eurasian plate and the right side belongs to the Pacific plate. They collided here to form a very deep submarine canyon. The bottom of the canyon is a golden crack running from north to south, where the earth's crust breaks off and the red-burned rock layers roll out.
.
The magma spews out intermittently, and the seawater and the magma present a wonderful scene like water and milk, accompanied by the roar of thunder. This is an extremely rare scene.
The deep sea and violent fire meet here.
"The wound of the earth." Fu Nian murmured and looked at the surrounding environment, but he was carefully looking at the surrounding environment in his heart.
This seems to be a good place for hatching. If I put the bone bottle here...
"Yes, this is the wound of the earth." Chu Zihang said.
"The crustal plates cracked during the collision, directly exposing the deep mantle layer. Because of this wound, Japan has become the country with the most earthquakes in the world. Below the polar abyss is a warehouse that stores trillions of tons of magma.
Perhaps it is possible that one day it will sink into the sea due to violent turmoil like Atlantis.
It’s incredible that a dragon would choose such an incredible place as a hatchery.”
"We seem to be lucky. We actually came directly to the ancient dragon's territory, saving us from looking for it." Caesar climbed back from the window above. He lay down next to the two of them and looked at the bright and dark Flame Mountain below.
"Have you noticed anything wrong with these fish?" Caesar pointed to a group of fish circling in the distance.
Finally he asked his question. He had noticed this phenomenon since he first arrived here, and thought it was a characteristic of fish schools on the bottom of the sea.
As a result, he just discovered that the huge gray whale also had the same problem, and compared with the swimming fish, the gray whale seemed to be in a worse situation.
Chu Zihang nodded, "I found it. Each of them has scales on their body. This should not be a normal phenomenon." Chu Zihang glanced at the manta rays and turtles in the distance, and the gray whale that was already moving away.
"They look like they have been affected by something. It seems that even their genes have been mutated."
When Caesar discovered the scales on the whale, Chu Zihang also discovered this.
"There must be some reason for this situation around here." Chu Zihang looked around.
But nothing was found.
"They are no longer ordinary fish, they are a subspecies of dragons." Fu Nian said, thinking about the knowledge taught by Kassel Academy.
"If that thing is an embryo, it will continuously release secretions rich in genetic information during the incubation process.
The secretions will attract various marine creatures, and the creatures that eat the secretions will have their genes rewritten by dragons, transforming them into dragon subspecies."
Fu Nian also looked around,
"Such a large and stable ecological environment comes from one source, and that source is the embryo we are looking for."
"Can embryos cause such large-scale ecological changes?" Chu Zihang asked in question.
"Yes, in history there are only examples of evolution after being exposed to the blood of ancient dragons. Is it realistic that such a large number of dragon subspecies were born due to the influence of embryonic secretions?" Caesar looked at Fu Nian and asked.
"This is reality." Fu Nian raised his hands,
"But for things you can't understand, the best option is to see it with your own eyes."
Fu Nian: "I've seen it."
"What about you?"
Caesar and Chu Zihang looked at each other with blank eyes.
…
…
Atami.
coastal.
The sound of the bell was loud and exciting, it was the evening bell that the Buddhist temple in the mountains rang at midnight.
A thin silver-white line appeared in the darkness in the distance, appearing at the junction of the sky and the sea. It looked like the sea had been plated with a thin layer of silver on the surface.
Silver rolls and flows on the sea surface, accompanied by the roaring sound of the engine. It is like thunderclouds coming in the wind.
It was actually rows of dense spotlights, with heavily armed air-cushion landing craft rolling on the dark sea water. There were even two giant LCAC-type air-cushion landing craft among them.
They formed a row with each other, rolling forward like huge waves, marching slowly but firmly towards the coast, their blazing lights shining brightly on the Atami coast in the middle of the night.
A small vermilion torii was built in the black reef at the end of the coast. In front of the torii is the endless Pacific Ocean, and behind the torii are rugged black cliffs. Next to the torii are fishing boats sheltered from the wind.
The water surged forward under the influence of the advancing landing craft. Waves of white waves beat in front of the fishing boat and smashed into pieces on the black reef.
At the end of the black cliff, a woman wearing black boots stood on the edge of the cliff, with her arms folded across her chest, her black hair fluttering in the air, and her pale golden eyes staring at the landing craft getting closer and closer below.
Her name is Jormungandr, you can also call her Shami.
A wooden black umbrella was opened above her head to protect her from the sea breeze. The person holding the umbrella was a classical woman in combat uniform, with her hair in a bun, her eyebrows stroking, and her pupils reflected.
With the demeanor of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him, his appearance remains unchanged.
Looking down at the law enforcement officers who smelled the fishy smell and chased after them, a large number of law enforcement officers had now broken out of the confinement of the sea and were moving quickly along the beach towards the cliff where they were. The heavy howitzers that were set up were aimed at
Barrett heavy sniper rifle.
The woman calmly looked at the muzzle of the gun that looked at them darkly. She was a warrior who served the monarch, a knight who served the throne. Even if a bullet appeared in front of her, as long as the monarch did not retreat, the warrior would not retreat even half a step.
She is Wanko Sakurai, the most loyal attendant of the Throne of Earth and Mountain.
"In order to completely annihilate us, the Sheqi family even used the strength of the military. This is the US military's LCAC air-cushion landing craft. The Japanese Self-Defense Force once purchased six of this type of air-cushion landing craft from the United States in batches in 1993. Unexpectedly
The Sheqi Eight Family actually have so much energy to use it now."
On the other side behind the girl in black, a woman in combat uniform stared at the Big Mac on the sea in the distance and said.
Her name is Sakurai Kogure.
Xia Mi nodded and said nothing.
Sakurai Kogure continued, "The Sheqi Eight Families must have made the determination to kill us today. According to intelligence investigations, a large number of law enforcement officers are gathering here. From Osaka to now, they have completely used the yakuza gangs to
Use all means to hunt us down.
Now our evacuation route at sea has been blocked again. We obviously came prepared today. Do we want to evacuate now?
If necessary, I will let the wind team..."
"Need not."
Natsumi slowly interrupted Sakurai Kogure's voice and looked at the hovercraft slowly approaching, their lights turning the night into day.
They were looking at her, like light driving out darkness,
She was watching them too, like the abyss watching the candle.
"If you want to be a slave of God, you must bear the wrath of the king. Since everyone has come today, let no one leave."
After saying that, Natsumi looked at Sakurai Wanko who was holding an umbrella on the other side.
Sakurai Wanzi nodded and took out a black mobile phone from his waist.
Then gently press the "1" on it.
As Sakurai Wanzi's fingertips slowly pressed down,
drop.
The sound is extremely crisp and clear.
The next second.
boom!
The fishing boats parked on the coast suddenly burst into dazzling flames, and more than a dozen fishing boats turned into fireballs at the same time. The formation of the eight Sheqi families who were setting up defenses on the shore was instantly washed away by the blast of air waves, and splashed with water.
It spreads around like a waterfall.
The eight officers of the Sheqi family below didn't even know what was happening. They were struck by the huge impact until stars appeared in their eyes, and then their bodies were pierced by countless steel balls, and their bodies were stained with red blood on the beach.
Those fishing boats were filled with not only a large amount of TNT explosives but also a large amount of steel balls, which would cause multiple consecutive hits the moment they exploded.
at the same time,
All the officers on the landing craft focused on the sudden explosion in front of them.
Behind the air-cushion landing craft, fierce ghosts wearing black diving suits suddenly appeared. Their eyes were covered with golden vertical pupils. They held rope guns and fired, and climbed quickly along the landing craft.
They moved so fast that it was almost unnatural for humans. Just when the officer at the end felt that something was wrong with the surrounding situation, a black sharp blade swiped across his neck.
Then.
Da da da…
The radiating submachine gun fire bloomed like fireworks in the black night,
After finishing a box of bullets, they showed no signs of lingering. They tore off the fragmentation grenades and incendiary bombs from their waists and turned over into the deep sea.
boom!
The red fire illuminates the starry sky again.
They are the Shangumi, the Xinshangumi who were selected through layers of screening by the Menggui.
What they were doing was the dive and blasting mission that the water team was supposed to do.
Sakurai Kogure looked at the actions of everyone below with satisfaction, and looked at Sakurai Wanko who looked calm next to her. This was the Yamagumi that the other party had trained during this period.
I didn't expect to show such an outstanding performance today.
However, there are too many officials from the Eight Sheqi Family here today, and it is difficult for the backing team alone to completely kill them here.
Thinking of Sakurai Kogure, he turned his attention to the girl in the front.
The girl still looked calmly at the scene of artillery fire below, feeling neither happy nor sad.
Sensing Sakurai Kogure's gaze, she smiled slightly,
Nod towards her.
"If possible, would you like to pay a visit to Miss Sakurai?" Natsumi said softly.
Although Sakurai Kogure was confused, she still nodded. She followed Kazama Ruri. If the man followed the girl in front of her, she would follow the girl in front of her. Even if she asked herself to die, she would not hesitate at all.
Sakurai Kogure took out the long knife from her waist, looked at the cliff below and jumped down.
At this moment, Sakurai Wanzi, under Xia Mi’s instruction,
Slowly press the "2" button.
In an instant, countless fierce ghosts wearing black leather trench coats emerged from both sides of the cliff. They were all without exception. Behind them was the ferocious word "ghost", and their eyes were red vertical pupils.
The sound of the long knife being unsheathed was like the shrill cold wind blowing through the treetops, and black shadows jumped down among the countless broken branches and leaves.
Following behind Sakurai Kogure.
Xia Mi looked at their running figures with a smile for a long time...
at a certain moment,
Finally, he looked into the darkness somewhere.
There, a tall figure and a huge blade were looming in the thick black mist.
"You worked so hard to lead me here, it's time to show up."
