After talking with Xia Ji, Li Ke's body recovered at an astonishing speed visible to the naked eye. The military doctor on board could hardly believe his eyes when he saw Li Ke starting to practice with his teammates.

He has studied Li Ke's blood sample and found that it is much more active than that of ordinary people, but it is not the most outstanding among the samples of those with superpowers in their military members.

The military doctor felt that he might have missed something, or that Li Ke's body might have changed again after this injury, so he suggested examining Li Ke again.

Li Ke did not refuse. She had the spatial awareness to help her cheat, and the other party would not be able to find out anything.

When Xia Ji saw Li Ke's performance, he naturally understood her unchangeable determination and said nothing more. From then on, he returned to his previous business-like attitude.

The people at the deep-sea mine discovered the existence of their aircraft carrier and sent a nuclear submarine to negotiate, demanding that the captain withdraw from the waters. The captain took the opportunity to propose that he want to participate in the development of the mine.

Naturally, the other party was unwilling to agree, and the situation was temporarily deadlocked. The captain was not in a hurry, and the other party could not force him away. He could not move forward for the time being, so he could calm down and study the light energy mine.

It was at this time that Xia Ji received news from Xiao Yi and others again. News came from his teammates that the wreckage of Xiao Yi's ship was found near another deep-sea black hole.

However, they did not have enough conditions and manpower to investigate further inside, so they only took some unclear deep-sea pictures and sent them over.

Xia Ji studied those pictures and saw that the ship was indeed one of the ships that Xiao Yi took people out to sea on, but the location was far different from the coordinates given by Xiao Yi and his team.

The captain looked at the information reported and said, "We can reach this location in a week from here. You can take your men to check it out. The enemy is on guard here, so we can't do anything small for now. The research on the light energy mine is not going well either, so we have to wait a little longer."

Xia Ji naturally had no objection. Anyway, they had not made any progress here recently. After going back to discuss with his deputy, he arranged the departure order.

As for Li Ke, he had been following them all the time. Xia Ji thought that this time they were probably just going into the sea to look for some clues and there would be no danger, so he did not leave Li Ke behind.

Li Ke saw the photos when Xia Ji called together more than 20 team leaders for a meeting one day after the ship set off. After processing, all the details could be examined.

The damage to the ship was very serious, with many parts severely deformed. However, the photos and the information sent back by the teammates showed that there were no survivors or any body parts on the ship, which was also quite strange.

Xiao Yi and his crew had a total of five ships on board, but there was only one near the black hole, and its hull was somewhat incomplete.

Xia Qing and Li Ke sat together. She kept her eyes on the pictures. After Xia Ji turned off the slides, she asked Li Ke: "Do you think we can find more clues on this trip?"

Li Ke knew that Xia Qing was brought up by Xiao Yi, and they had a special bond. She pondered for a moment before saying, "It's hard to say, but I see that there is no one on the boat, so there is a high possibility that Xiao Yi and the others are still alive."

Xia Qing took a deep breath: "The sea is such a mysterious place. That black hole gives me a bad feeling."

Li Ke: "What do you mean?"

Xia Qing shook her head: "It's hard to tell. It might be that the hull is damaged. It's as bad as being eaten by it and then spit out. This thought makes me uncomfortable."

Li Ke patted her shoulder and said, "Don't think too much. We will be there soon. We will have plenty of time to study it then."

In fact, what Li Ke didn't say was that she also had this feeling, but this feeling was actually very normal. The damaged and twisted wreckage of the ship and the dark abyss of the deep sea, put together, it is hard not to give people terrifying associations.

After arriving at the shipwreck and further understanding the situation with the team members guarding there, Xia Ji arranged a team of people to enter the submarine and sink it again to explore to see if they could find more clues.

The shipwreck and the black hole are not close to each other, there is still some distance between them. The first team members who arrived here had already entered the black hole to a depth of 50 meters, and then could no longer dive further.

According to their exploration, there is no light source or living creature in the black hole, just a dark abyss, and as calm as dead water.

The personnel arranged by Xia Ji entered the interior of the shipwreck and searched again. They also found a way to turn the ship over. After doing all this, when they floated to the surface again, a day and a night had passed.

After listening to the report, Xia Ji asked them to rest first, and he met with others again to discuss the results of this investigation.

"There are no daily necessities, any signs of life, any personal belongings, or even their sailing logs in the shipwreck. We previously suspected that the people on the ship might have been eaten by the fish monster, so there were no corpses. Now it seems more like an abandoned empty ship." Xia Ji said after summarizing all the information.

Xia Qing was puzzled: "But we have all seen the damage to the ship. It is not something that ordinary forces can cause. If it is an empty ship that was abandoned, could it be that the people on the ship knew what was going to happen and chose to abandon it in advance?"

Others followed up with questions: "Where did the other ships and people go? It is also possible that it encountered some mysterious force and the people and objects inside were thrown out. There are many creatures in the sea, and they can quickly devour many things. Whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, the current situation is somewhat unpredictable."

Xia Ji: "It could be a natural disaster or a man-made disaster. Our teammates before us also entered a black hole. After diving to a depth of 50 meters, the submarine could no longer dive. They released a few mutant fish, but they disappeared underwater almost instantly, and the traction ropes on the fish were cut. Because there is no light underwater, they couldn't track the image."

Xia Qing raised the question again after hearing this: "This doesn't make sense again. If the submarine can't go down, it means that the underwater resistance is very large. But the mutant fish that were released disappeared quickly underwater, which means that there is a force that attracts them down. This doesn't make sense."

Xia Ji naturally thought of this as well: "So I plan to send two more teams to go underwater and explore the black hole again."

Xia Qing immediately recommended herself: "I am willing to lead the team."

Xia Ji did not refuse her, and pointed out another team leader, and the two teams worked together.

Li Ke was also listening in on the entire meeting, but in Xia Ji's and others' meetings, she was always just a listener and rarely expressed any opinions.

After the meeting, everyone else went about their business, and Xia Qing and Li Ke returned to the accommodation area together. Xia Qing had to have a meeting with the team members and also pack some personal belongings.

When Chen Nanxing heard that they were going to explore underwater, she remained calm on the surface but she couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes. This girl was very passionate about all kinds of work tasks.

She asked Li Ke, "Are you coming with us? You are part of our team, but are you physically fit? Can you handle the water?"

This underwater mission was the result of the final discussion between Xia Ji and his team members. Li Ke had actually always been a little out of touch. When Chen Nanxing asked this, Li Ke met Xia Qing's concerned eyes.

But in fact, Li Ke and Xia Qing have been practicing together frequently recently. In order not to affect the mission of joining the light energy mine, Li Ke and Xia Qing also put 30% to 40% of their energy into the practice, and the wins and losses were equally shared by the two.

Meeting Xia Qing's gaze at this moment, it would be a bit too fake for her to refuse by saying she was feeling unwell, so she casually said, "I have no problem. Since we are on the same team, I will naturally go with you."

Xia Qing confirmed again: "You have to think carefully. We have no idea what is under the black hole, and it is very likely that something unexpected will happen and we won't be able to come back. Li Ke, although you are one of our team members, your situation is different from ours. It's okay if you don't go."

Li Ke thought about it after hearing this and decided that the most important thing for her right now was to get more light energy ore. This black hole would not be affected even if she was missing.

"Okay, then I won't go down. I'll wait for you upstairs." Li Ke thought it over and spoke truthfully.

The room was silent for a moment. Meng Yu stopped packing and said, "Keke, Boss Xiao also took care of you."

In fact, Meng Yu has been very restrained and has never expressed her dissatisfaction. When Li Ke left without saying goodbye, and when Boss Xiao was about to die, he kept calling her name in a coma.

For her safety, Boss Xiao warned them early on that if they met again, they should try not to have any contact with Li Ke and just treat her as a stranger.

Meng Yu knew that relationships cannot be forced, and she had always respected Li Ke, but she grew up with Xiao Yi, so she naturally had a bias in her heart. When she heard Li Ke's nonchalant answer, she couldn't help but get angry.
