Campfire Shelter

"Dong dong dong"

A deep and strange sound, accompanied by some sharp shouts, came through the iron layer around him. Colin subconsciously raised his head, his expression suddenly shocked.

I saw, outside a thick round glass, a large school of fish swimming and playing under the light.

Outside the light, everything was turbid and dark, with countless small things floating in the dark green water, and there were faint, sharp and strange sounds coming from the drowsiness.

Coupled with the airtight and narrow room, even Colin felt an inexplicable sense of fear.

here it is.

"deep sea?"

Colin stood up hurriedly, and through the frequently flickering lights in the room, he could see clearly that this was a narrow lounge that was only about four square meters in size.

The rest room was covered in rust, as if it had been soaked in water.

Colin took a deep breath, made a general analysis, and determined that there was nothing else in the room except him.

Then, he looked at a tightly locked circular manhole cover door in the room, and took out a silver metal ball with cat ears from his pocket.

"Xiao Yin, check here and see what the hell this place is."

After giving the order, the silver metal ball spread instantly and began to penetrate everywhere in this place.

"It's so lucky that there is such a thing, otherwise I would have been confused for a long time."

Colin exhaled, and from the thick round glass, he could see what he looked like at the moment - the face was his own, but he was wearing strange clothes.

Looks a bit like the sharp guy he used to be

I don’t know if it was because after the teleportation, the company randomly picked up a set of clothes for him from somewhere.

At this time, a cat head suddenly grew out of the rusty round manhole cover-like door:

"According to the inspection, this is a damaged civilian nuclear-powered submarine, 76 meters long and 8 meters wide. It is loaded with a small amount of torpedo-type weapons with unknown filler. The actual space inside the submarine is about."

Listening to the little maid's report, Colin nodded. As expected, this was probably a submarine.

But soon, his expression paused and he suddenly noticed something was wrong.

"Wait? Huh? A nuclear-powered civilian submarine?"

Colin looked weird. This, this shabby-looking submarine, was actually nuclear-powered?

However, he was not too shocked, because the technical level of "nano-intelligent machines" was much higher than that of nuclear weapons.

"Can it still be opened?"

"Can be used after repair."

"Can you drive it?"

"Can be manipulated after being cracked."

"Huh, that's fine."

Colin breathed a sigh of relief. The mission required exploring a very large area of ​​water. If he relied on this to float slowly, he didn't know how long it would take.

Now that I know that the little silver cat-eared maid can control it, I feel a lot better.

"By the way, is there anyone else?"

"Confirmed that there are still five signs of life on board."

"Five people, which is exactly the number of people on the mission. Well, wait, there are 'five more' people?"

Colin emphasized the word "and".

In his opinion, there were either a bunch of people on this submarine, or just five of them doing the task, not more.

"Yes, there are five more people. If you are included, Mr. Colin, then there are six people alive. In addition, twenty-one bodies were found who died due to unknown reasons. Your location is Submarine Captain’s Room.”

"Okay, let's go out and take a look first."

Listening to its report, and after confirming that there was no danger outside for the time being, Colin opened the door of the captain's room.

The rusty watertight door was very difficult to rotate due to the rust. A person with an average body might be trapped here directly to death, but Colin worked a miracle with his strong force and was able to forcefully twist it open.

Bang.

The watertight door valve opened, and a strong rotten stench and humid air rushed in.

Outside the door, a chaotic submarine activity area comes into view. From the puddles in some scenes, it can be seen that the ship has probably entered the water, but in the end it was discharged again for unknown reasons.

In addition, there are some tattered corpses rooted in unknown seaweed scattered everywhere.

The strong rotten stench came from them

"Bang bang bang!"

A violent slapping sound suddenly came from not far away.

"Is anyone there? Open the door for me! Help me, Cao!"

I don't know which employee's crying voice came from behind a door.

Colin shook his head. Even if an employee who was about to be promoted to D-level couldn't open the door, he was actually scared to tears. I really don't know how he managed to get away with it.

Of course, after identifying a colleague, he doesn't mind helping him first.

After all, as far as Colin knew, although the missions most of the time did not tell what would happen if a teammate was killed, as long as he did not actively and consciously kill them, it would at most seem to deduct some mission rewards.

But in fact, in addition to rewards, teammates also play an important role as mobile signal receivers.

Especially for this kind of suspected advent type mission, if a teammate dies, there is a possibility that they will not receive information.

Immediately, Colin walked over directly.

Although the submarine is in disrepair, the lights in many places are still running, but the brightness is only a little brighter than fireflies.

Bending his back, turning slightly sideways, stepping on the sticky water stains under his feet, in the narrow corridor where the pipes were exposed and shaking slightly, he found the watertight valve that was constantly making sounds, and patted it twice. , signaling that he was coming.

"Wait, I'll open the door now!"

After saying that, Colin asked the omnic to help him open the watertight door valve in circles.

The moment the door opened, an old rotten smell hit his face, and Colin almost vomited out. Then he saw that there were almost five people crowded into the lounge that was only three or four square meters. personal.

Except for that employee, the others were all swollen and smelly corpses soaked in water.

"Tsk, that's a bit unlucky." Colin imagined that if he appeared here, he wouldn't feel too good.

"Thanks. Ugh."

The employee crawled out with [It’s hard to come up with a name] on his head, knelt on the ground and vomited.

"fine."

While talking, Colin took out a lighter, ready to light it up, to get rid of the smell, it's really fucking stinky.

But at this time, the person hiding aside saw this scene and did not bother to observe secretly. Suddenly something occurred to him and he yelled at Colin: "Be careful, don't light a fire, there is flammable gas in this place!"

Unfortunately, when he reminded, Colin had already pressed the trigger with his thumb.

Snapped!

A burst of flame burst out.

However, what surprised this jailed man was that the exploding fire did not actually detonate, but flashed past the place where it appeared, followed by a burning ball the size of a basketball that seemed to be condensed by some kind of will. Fireball.

"What did you shout just now?"

When Colin turned his head, he saw a vague figure with a familiar ID on his head. (end of this chapter)
