Chapter 451 Rapids! The sea ghost appears in front of you!!
Chapter 451 Rapids! The sea ghost appears in front of you!!
Plato number.
It should have been time to rest now. After all, even in the deep ocean, it is a good thing to follow a regular schedule.
At the very least, the "deep sea people" will not suffer from some undesirable symptoms after returning to the surface.
In other words...reduce the occurrence of these symptoms as much as possible.
After all, in this forbidden area of humanity, the dark and unknown environment, and the sense of dilemma of being oppressed in a small artificial cabin, even if they are all professionally trained crew members!
But just like the most terrifying tentacle hallucination released from Pandora's ink box, those "scorching" signals emitted from the brain will devour them if they are not careful.
"I'm really going crazy."
"No, that bastard Stein is crazy, hasn't he figured out the situation yet?!"
"We are being targeted, we are being followed by unspeakable terror, and this is just the beginning."
Ryan yelled in the crew lounge, to everyone who went to sea.
Whether they are fishermen who make a living by fishing on the water, or sailors on the ocean trade, or even "poor guys" like them who dive into the black waters, their jobs may be different, but they have one thing in common.
It means being in awe of this sea and maintaining respect for the mysterious legends buried deep within that are unknown to humans.
However, in Ryan's opinion, Professor Stein did not. He was just a scientific bastard, an unreasonable guy who questioned for the sake of questioning.
What a coincidence!!
In this place that does not belong to human civilization, science is most useless.
"Damn it!"
"He would rather believe that there was a work error than that this was a warning from Neptune Namor or Atlantis."
"You're kidding... No one can stand being locked up in a pipeline warehouse for so long!!"
Ryan slapped the table. It was obvious that this series of situations had made them feel deeply uneasy.
Especially since this is a journey to explore Atlantis, what they face is the legendary and extremely terrifying King of the Undersea People.
There have been too many legends in the past about the poor crew members who sunk ships and were buried in the sea forever.
No one here wants to get that result!!
"Uh... to be honest, I have seen some news."
"In some extreme situations, it is not impossible for people to struggle with a strong desire to survive."
"Car accidents, disasters, human beings can always produce incredible miracles."
Nelson's tone was quite relaxed. As he said before, he neither denied nor praised Namor.
The sudden situation made everyone else present very nervous. It seemed that no one would have to sleep tonight, which was good. Then he could drink with everyone.
It is a rare experience to drink heavily together in a submarine operating in the deep sea, violating the rest rules.
"Gududu!"
"This wine is really exciting, why don't you all have a drink?!"
Nelson held the small paper cup with his big hands, raised his head and drank it while talking, looking very happy.
But no one responded to him. Everyone lowered their heads and were thinking about their own things, and Nelson didn't care either.
He just said it in a nonchalant tone.
"To be honest, we all know the situation. After all, sometimes the regulations that need to be followed are really annoying."
"The inspection of the pipeline cabin should have been carried out in advance, but the real situation is that we missed it, so... Professor Stein is right, work mistakes must be admitted."
"What I said is correct."
Nelson said to the crew member who was supposed to be responsible for the inspection. The guy who was already confused by the messy situation just nodded subconsciously.
Putting aside all unreasonableness, it is indeed a work mistake, but there are too many coincidences in such work mistakes.
It set sail from New York Harbor until it lost contact with the ground, plus information about the Black Water, Atlantis, the King of the Undersea People, etc.
These are connected together, and the incredible girl suddenly appears. This is really... If it is just a work error, it is not inevitable!!
In short... Ryan firmly does not believe this, and the other crew members are obviously shaken.
"That's enough, that's not an answer at all."
"You guys have always been like this. You are in the same group as Stein. Go to hell with your scientific explorations. We can't all die here!!"
Ryan had not forgotten that just in the pipeline cabin, the bastard in front of them was confronting them with a spear gun.
"I've had enough of you too!"
"What, you want to say that I am different from you, because I am different from you, or because my tattoo is not good-looking!"
"If you are discriminating against me, then the last person who spoke to me like this, I twisted his head into my ass!!"
Nelson drank some wine, and he didn't like Ryan before. Fortunately, the tables and chairs in the cabin were fixed, otherwise he would have hit Ryan's face at this time.
But the table was spared, and the glass from which I just drank has already flown out!!
"One more thing, you should call him Professor, Professor Stein!!"
"Don't blame me for teaching you how to be a good person, he gave us extra income during this trip!!"
"That money has gone into your pocket, no matter what happens to your undersea people, just do the job well!!"
"Otherwise, I don't have to wait until I get back, I can open an opening for you right now!!"
Nelson was already a head taller than Ryan. This tall and thick guy looked like a chimpanzee, blowing alcohol and saying harsh words to Ryan.
"You disgusting bastard."
However, despite Ryan's small stature, it is definitely not easy to become a senior "deep-sea man".
He was hit by the paper cup thrown by Nelson, and his hair was stained with sporadic alcohol. Now he was like a lit explosive, exploding directly.
"Okay, okay, Ryan!!"
"Nelson, please stop saying a few words. I definitely don't mean to discriminate against you."
"Don't do this!"
"Guys, we are still deep diving. Thinking about other things... I don't want to really not be able to go back."
"Yeah, don't fight..."
The gathered crew members immediately became lively. They divided into two groups and struggled to pull Nelson and Ryan away from the conflict.
Although...this journey into the deep sea seems to be starting to go wrong.
But at this moment, in everyone's confused mood, they still don't want to really bring this contradiction to the surface.
The only reason I have is to tell all knowledgeable people that if a fight breaks out here, no one will be left behind.
Among all the legends and stories, internal strife... is often the most unjust ending to death.
But!!
Among the two people surrounded by the crew, Nelson was drunk and his eyes were red, and Ryan had a sinister expression and a bad tone.
The shadow of Neptune Namor seems to have really arrived, and has really shrouded these "human beings" who have entered the realm of the undersea people.
How long can the current restraint and patience... last for?!
…
"They started fighting, almost to the point of using knives."
"Well...I mean almost, you know what I mean, this is very bad!"
Coming out of the doctor's room, the girl who had just been "rescued" found everything in good condition.
I just don't know when I will wake up, but this is not the focus of Castro's concern.
He had a cigarette in his mouth but did not light it. He leaned against the door of Professor Stein's room and talked about what had just happened.
"Ah ah ah, I know, I know!!"
"I personally think Nelson is right. After all, most of your crew members don't believe in science."
"However……"
Professor Stein took out the record book from the bookshelf and prepared to start writing today's voyage diary soon.
And he said to Castro at the same time.
"Whether it's the air circulation system here, the small book in my hand, or even... the knife they want to use."
"The entire submarine, the entire deep-diving exploration system, everything... these are all science!!"
"on the contrary……"
"Neptune Namor, haha, what would happen to that fictional creature that doesn't exist?!"
"Eating sashimi, lying in a shell, and sliding on the fins of a sea-dweller?!"
As he spoke, Professor Stein burst into laughter as if he was amused by the joke he had just thought of.
But it was clear that Castro was not smiling.
"That's not funny, Professor!"
He was silent for a moment and then continued.
"I want to remind you...no matter what, they are your crew!!"
"But... they only listen to you."
Professor Stein smiled and said as if he didn't care very much, while Castrozi frowned and then replied.
"Maybe... I am more professional. After all... Professor, you are a scientist."
"Ah, maybe, maybe this is how we think..."
While Professor Stein and Castro were having a conversation, the professor's words had just begun.
Sudden!!
An extremely violent shaking caused the entire submarine to spin!!
Bang bang.
In the room, whether it was the books on the bookcase or the debris on the table, everything flew up with the vibration.
Hitting the wall with Professor Stein!!
"ah!!"
This must feel very painful.
"Castro?!"
In this sudden accident, Professor Stein could only subconsciously shout out this name.
As the "captain" said, he is the professional.
"Don't panic!"
"Secure yourself, we're hitting a rapid."
Compared to the staggering professor, Casitro stood firm. He threw away the cigarette that was hanging from his mouth as a decoration, and then ran quickly towards the corridor.
"I'm going to the cockpit, that's where I should be."
"Okay, I'll leave the submarine to you, and I'll go to the observation cabin... Oh, God, I never thought it would be like this."
Professional matters should be left to professionals.
Castro is good at driving submarines, but as for the accident under the sea... He is a scientist and is better at it.
But...it's obvious that someone doesn't have the same idea as the professor.
…
Sudden chaos.
The extremely professional crew quickly found where they should be, and by the time Professor Stein reached the observation cabin while holding on to the wall and shaking violently, Ryan, who was in charge here, was already in place.
“What bad luck!!”
"Listen, you've done your job, now just stay close to the wall!!"
"We have encountered a very difficult problem, here... we call him Sea Ghost!!"
Stay against the wall?!
Who are you looking down on? The professor couldn't stay still under such violent shaking.
Professor Stein grabbed the chair in the observation cabin and said loudly at the same time.
"This...this must be an undersea crater!!"
"The appearance of such rapids means that we have penetrated deep into it and we are passing through the backbone of the sea!!"
It’s like that again!! It’s like that again!!
Now Ryan feels upset whenever he hears Professor Stein speak.
"To hell with science, your so-called science is worthless here. I see big things that shouldn't exist. Do you understand?!"
"Are you proud of this?!"
"Stein, you once asserted that they don't exist at all, now...I'm officially telling you!!"
"My work has failed, and your search for Atlantis has also failed. This is simply terrible, but...at this moment, facing the sea ghost, can't I still laugh at you?!"
laugh at?!
Professor Stein has no time to care about this now.
"Mr. Lane, I don't want to explain to you the scientific reason why you can still breathe oxygen now."
"But...I reiterate, you are not allowed to mention your occult science again!!"
"roll!!"
"I saw him, he was in the sea, look, there, I have eyes!!"
Ryan pointed at the submarine's observation mirror and roared at Stein. The roaring sound came out of his throat, a vibrating and hysterical feeling.
"..."
Even Professor Stein was stunned for a moment because of Ryan's ferocious face.
He reacted quickly.
"Damn it...get out of the way."
I don't know if it's because Ryan is in a bad state or because Professor Stein suddenly gained a lot of strength.
At this moment, Professor Stein pushed Lane away suddenly, and then threw himself in front of the observation mirror.
He saw it.
In the pitch-black world, amidst violent vibrations, an incredible behemoth appeared in the field of vision!!
Time seems to stand still at this moment.
In the observation cabin, there was only a little breathing sound, and Ryan was surprisingly silent. He seemed to be waiting for the scientist's conclusion.
until……
"I think... it's a giant squid, that's all."
"It's okay to say it's a sea monster, but its scientific name is... King Squid."
Professor Stein grasped the handle of the observation mirror with one hand. He turned around with an extremely serious expression and an extremely serious tone.
"I don't want any more nonsense!"
"I've seen a giant squid, but this thing is obviously not it. It even has horns on its head!!"
Ryan grabbed the observation glass and looked at the underwater nightmare that appeared again. Damn it, the king squid... He swore with his own faith that this thing was definitely not a squid!
"Okay, okay!!"
"All scientific research is not about just standing here and guessing. Since we want to find out, let us take a closer look."
"Lane!!"
"You come with me in the pod to see it!!"
Professor Stein's words made Ryan turn around. He watched helplessly as the madman squatted down and opened the passage to the lower level of the observation cabin.
"This is courting death."
"For the sake of God, let me remind you that you will definitely die if you go out at this time."
Ryan's scalp feels numb. Are underwater monsters scary?
Now he doesn't know it, but this bastard scientist wants to get out in a pod in the rapids!!
Absolutely a terrifying lunatic.
"I have to seize this opportunity, Ryan!!"
"But if you are scared, just shut your mouth, lean against the wall, stay here and look at me!!"
This moment.
Professor Stein replied to him what Lane just said, and then got into the lower level of the observation cabin without looking back.
It was also at this moment that with Ryan's shout, everything about the underwater world began.
