The canteen in the experimental area provides the richest food ingredients. Long before the continent sank, far-sighted humans kept the unmutated animals and plants in the protective shield so that there would be no shortage of food.

Qi Yan ate a few skewers of charcoal-grilled beef with satisfaction and was about to cook a bowl of hot and sour noodles when she saw Zong Yuan walking into the cafeteria with long legs.

He glanced at her, ignored her, and went to the service desk to inquire.

"Hello, deputy commander." The service desk in the cafeteria is equivalent to the card checkout area, and the staff here naturally know Zongyuan.

"The one in the corner."

There are not many scientific researchers eating late-night snacks at this time, only a few, and there is only one girl sitting in the corner, who is easy to identify.

The staff immediately understood: "I just saw her lying outside the canteen glass. I saw that she was very greedy, so I paid for her to come in and have something to eat."

Zong Yuan took out his card and put it on the counter: "Swipe this."

The staff member smiled: "Okay, deputy commander."

A clear and lively female voice sounded from behind: "Deputy Commander, here, I'm here."

Zong Yuan quite wanted to ignore her, but her voice was so loud that all the researchers who stayed in the cafeteria for late-night snacks looked over.

He turned to leave, but unexpectedly she followed him with a bowl of noodles: "Hello, Deputy Commander Zong, do you also want to have a midnight snack?"

Zong Yuan stood still, "Food cannot be taken out of the cafeteria."

"Oh, okay." She obediently put the powder aside, took a few sips, stuffed her mouth full, and said vaguely: "No, not all."

"what?"

She stretched out a hand and waved it, chewed hard and swallowed: "I said, I will listen to you."

An impatient look flashed between Zong Yuan's brows, and his angular cheeks were cold, "Leave."

She stretched out her hand, clearly asking for money.

Zong Yuan frowned and was about to take out his card. Suddenly, the lights in the entire corridor turned red and a deafening siren sounded from above.

The researchers who were dining in the cafeteria quickly ran out and passed them.

Assistant Song Liantian, who had been following Zong Yuan, suddenly changed his expression: "Oops, it's a linear fish."

"Let's go." Zong Yuan strode towards the monitoring room.

Qi Yan followed behind, listening to D77's popular science knowledge about linear fish.

Linear fish are a new species derived after the apocalypse. Their bodies are slender and look like a thin line from a distance, hence their name.

Linear fish do not have fish schools and live alone. They use their delicate bodies to get into gaps and release toxic liquid to poison small fish and shrimps in order to hunt.

Since this hunting method is unreliable, and linear fish themselves can be poisoned, the life span of linear fish is extremely low and their numbers are scarce. However, to the base, linear fish are the biggest threat.

The huge protective cover is made of regular pentagons pieced together. Even if it can isolate the sea water, there are still slight traces of splicing. Linear fish can get into half of the body and get stuck in the gaps to release venom.

The venom will not penetrate into the protective shield, but it can expand the gaps in the protective shield. Once the protective shield cracks, even if only one piece falls, a large amount of seawater will instantly engulf the continent, and everyone will become a meal for the surrounding fish.

The entire base is on emergency alert, and each district needs to send sharpshooters with excellent shooting abilities to leave the protective shield and attack linear fish outside.

Zong Yuan took off his white coat and strode towards the preparation space of the experimental area, where a group of heroes gathered, both men and women, all of whom were top marksmen.

After changing into the combat uniform handed over by Song Liantian, he checked the equipment on his body and from the corner of his eye, he saw that the girl was also changing into combat uniform.

"What are you doing?" He grabbed her hand.

She raised her head, "Aren't you going to go fishing?"

"This is not the time for nonsense." Zong Yuan's voice was stern, as cold as winter.

His voice attracted others, and one person recognized Qi Yan at a glance.

"Aren't you the woman that Commander Yunwu Lian always protects? Why are you here causing trouble?"

"Yeah, we're busy enough and don't have time to take care of you. Don't kill us all."

"Get out quickly. Who doesn't know that you will only drag down the team? It affects the entire base. Don't get involved."

Qi Yan turned a deaf ear and silently put on her combat uniform, fastened all the buckles, and looked at Zong Yuan steadily: "Deputy commander, take me there."

The girl's eyes were particularly serious and firm, without her usual playful smile.

"No." Zong Yuan calculated that 99% of her ability would bring down the entire team, and the remaining 1% would be caused by the linear fish retreating on its own.

She crossed her hands across her chest: "As far as I know, some linear fish with tricky angles are stuck deep in the gaps and cannot be aimed. We always have to send a person to pull them out before shooting, right? After all, no one can guarantee a perfect shot, no. It will damage the shield.”

Her words blocked everyone's mouths, and the person she sent out would often escape death. Mutated creatures in the ocean were not so easy to deal with.

This is also a good thing. Some people rush to die, but it saves them from making a temporary decision.

Looking at the girl's bright face, Zong Yuan had a slight change in his opinion of her. Although he didn't know whether her purpose of doing this was to follow him or to increase her presence, at least she was brave.

"ready to go."

All the gunmen in the experimental area gathered, a total of thirteen, divided into four teams, each with three people. The remaining one was Qi Yan, who was left alone as cannon fodder to die.

Everyone came underground and logged into the closed water tank at the same time. Qi Yan observed curiously that this thing was similar to a submarine, with a small space and equipped with escape equipment and communication equipment.

Among them, Zong Yuan's closed water cabin is much higher than the others, and the safety level has naturally skyrocketed. His brain is related to the safety of the entire base, and nothing should happen to him.

In comparison, Qi Yan, the cannon fodder, had a much simpler enclosed water entry chamber. After checking the gun, she carefully walked in. Since she was not familiar with the structure of the stairs in the water entry chamber, her movements were quite clumsy.

The onlookers talked a lot:

"Can she do this?"

"This must be her first time going out. I have a bad feeling."

"Come on, let's squat in the outer protective shield and wait to see her jokes. We won't know how she died by then."

Qi Yan entered the closed water cabin and waited quietly for a few seconds. The roof of the cabin closed automatically. She stumbled to the control cabin at the front. The voice of the experimental area commander came from the loudspeaker on the cabin roof——

"In one minute, the propeller will push your cabin out of the channel into the sea. Remember to turn on the engine, light up the navigation lights, and ensure that your companions know your position. Accuracy is paramount. Do not hit linear fish that you are not sure of hitting, and wait for assistance. The personnel will help you pull out the fish before shooting.”

Qi Yan knew that she was the support staff. She changed into a diving suit in the cabin and carefully checked the oxygen bottles and other equipment.

Her heart was beating like a drum and she was extremely nervous. Whether she could increase Zong Yuan's favorability level depended on this battle.

Bang, the cabin was pushed out.

All enclosed water entry chambers waiting in purpose-built underground spaces slowly enter the ocean.

At the same time, something spread throughout the base - the waste that Commander Yunwu Lian had been protecting entered the cabin and went to sea.

The people who were talking about it at this time did not know that they would see a shocking scene that they would never forget in their lives.
