Sealed Heart and Locked Love: I was reborn to stock up before the apocalypse

After dinner, they gathered together to chat for a while and then returned to their own tents.

Only Lin Ling and Yang Yunfei remained sitting there without moving.

After becoming practitioners, their long nights will no longer be boring.

If they want, they can even stay up all night and meditate and practice their skills!

The effects of meditation are comparable to sleep, so it does not affect daytime activities the next day.

It’s just that we are all ordinary people who are used to sleeping at night. Even if we embark on the path of cultivation, we will still choose to sleep for a while in the early morning.

That is why night duty is relatively easy for them.

......

Yang Yunfei had already installed a surveillance camera in the corridors on both sides of their residence.

After she handed the tablet controller displaying the surveillance screen to Lin Ling and explained how to use the temporary power supply outdoors and the location of weapons and equipment, she sat cross-legged and meditated beside him.

She would stay here with Lin Ling, and wait until Lin Ling's shift changed before going back to rest, or continue practicing.

And for the next two hours, Lin Ling is the first line of defense for everyone's safety.

In view of the flaws he revealed during the meal, Lin Ling thought about his own behavior and tricks in recent times, while checking for omissions and shortcomings to see if he could do better.

At the same time, she was also recalling the magic used by several members of the team to capture silver spirit fish when they encountered the school of silver fish during the day.

It seemed to be the "Water Drop Technique" that I had also learned initially, but in terms of function, it was much more useful than what I had learned.

Lin Ling slowly figured out how the few people were using it, and occasionally glanced at the night vision footage on the surveillance camera.

-------------------------------------

A night passed, when Lin Ling crawled out of the tent.

Yang Yunfei, the captain of the last night shift, has already heated up canned eight-treasure porridge for everyone.

"Thank you Captain!"

Murong Xue happily picked up a can of hot eight-treasure porridge and greeted Yang Yunfei.

Yang Yunfei, however, was only concerned with drinking her porridge.

"It's a good thing that those damn octopuses didn't come to cause trouble last night!"

Everyone nodded.

The octopus that Murong Xue was talking about was the mutated octopus sea monster that Lin Ling had encountered before.

After learning about Lingyin Sect and Qigong Association over this period of time, Lin Ling already knew that this mutant octopus was the most common sea beast encountered at night.

Octopuses are highly intelligent, come in many varieties, and have strong adaptability to the environment.

Now that the environment has changed, these things have multiplied in large numbers, and when fishing, we can often catch some species that have not mutated.

I just don't know whether these mutated octopuses are a result of their own mutation to adapt to spiritual energy, or they are species that escaped from some seal cracks.

......

Everyone ate some corn-flavored hot dogs and a simple bowl of rice porridge, then packed their luggage and started moving equipment onto the ship.

Among them, the buckets containing the silver fish caught yesterday are the focus of protection.

Fortunately, the thirteen silver spirit fish are still alive and well at this moment.

......

Li Huimin is at the helm today.

The transport ship reeled in the cable, raised the anchor hook, and quickly left the place where it had docked yesterday, heading in the opposite direction of the city.

The remaining patrol missions are basically in the sea areas.

After yesterday's initial experience, Lin Ling now understands that patrolling in the open sea, even though it is boring, is safe.

Lin Ling couldn't imagine what kind of threats would exist in the deserted and densely populated urban area.

In fact, the spiritual beasts that Lin Ling encountered when he was drifting alone before were all encountered on some scattered high-rise buildings.

Obviously, there may be more terrifying spiritual beasts in those water forests with larger settlement spaces.

......

Before lunch, Lin Ling's team had completed the sea patrol mission.

Therefore, during the lunch break, Yang Yunfei brought up the question of "whether to complete the second task".

Lin Ling doesn't have any opinion on this issue.

She herself doesn't care, and she doesn't have much say...

Unless Lin Ling strongly expressed her desire not to go, if everyone agreed to go, she would not be able to resist.

Similarly, everyone decided to return, and it was useless for Lin Ling to go alone.

-------------------------------------

There was no consensus on whether or not to complete another task at the same time.

Li Huimin agreed and expressed her willingness to earn more merit points.

"We were lucky this time. We didn't encounter any sea beasts and didn't trigger any battles."

"Everyone is in good condition, just like when they first came out of the base. It's a good opportunity to earn some more merit points."

But Murong Xue was not very willing to go, she retorted:

"We are lucky."

"But we are lucky. Shouldn't we quit while we are ahead?"

"Wait until everyone goes back to eat the silver spirit fish, practice vigorously, and transform the harvest into strength. Then we can come out to complete the mission."

"Anyway, we still have plenty of mission quotas. What's more, we are also completing the task of bringing new members into the team."

Li Huimin said, "You said you were bringing in new people. Look at Lin Ling. Isn't she adapting well now? I don't think she's holding us back."

"Besides, how much can that little silver spirit fish improve? It's hard to even improve one level of cultivation."

"It would be better to complete another task at the same time."

"Maybe if we go there quickly and come back quickly, we won't be late for our return tonight."

"Otherwise, the next mission might have to wait until next time!"

This was the first time that Lin Ling discovered that Sister Huimin, who was usually gentle, could speak so persuasively.

There is nothing wrong with what Li Huimin said in every aspect.

Even though Murong Xue wanted to go back and lock in the spoils, at this moment, she felt that what Li Huimin said made sense, so she hesitated and thought about whether she could do another mission.

For a moment, no one spoke again.

As for Xie Xiaofeng beside Murong Xue, he just looked at her and did not express any different opinions.

It seems that he listens to Murong Xue in everything.

......

Seeing this, Li Huimin asked Yang Yunfei:

"Captain, don't you think so?"

Yang Yunfei didn't say anything, but called up the map on the tablet and pointed out the mission location.

The intelligence location is roughly 20 to 30 kilometers north of where they are now, on the edge of a large urban area.

This route is mostly water, and there are no urban areas blocking the way.

"My opinion is the same as Huimin's. Since there's nothing else to do on this trip, I might as well do this mission."

"Earn more merit points and exchange them for some training resources. No one wants to be left too far behind by others."

Now, there were no objections, and everyone turned the boat around and headed for the target location according to the intelligence.

According to intelligence, it is a place in the suburbs of Magic City.

Before the disaster struck, a wealthy man spent a huge amount of money to build a small shelter here.

This shelter is built to high standards and is extremely well sealed, so it should be able to withstand earthquakes and floods.

Therefore, the association's internal analysis believes that even if the shelter is flooded, the interior should remain sealed as the entrances and exits are closed, and it is very likely that no water will leak in.

Yang Yunfei added some information that was not mentioned in the mission information.

“In the early days of the extreme cold disaster, the wealthy people who built the shelters lived in them.”

"Then the temperature rose, the water level rose, and the rich finally had to hastily abandon the shelter."

"But the wealthy man was already seriously ill at the time, so many of the supplies in the shelter were not evacuated."

"Now the rich man has passed away, and the news about this shelter was provided by a survivor who had stayed in the shelter for a short period of time."

"The association retrieved the construction records of many companies in the Magic City area and cross-checked them to confirm the authenticity of this shelter."

Lin Ling listened silently and felt that the news from this shelter was more credible.

If they only needed to determine the situation at the shelter, the task wouldn't be difficult.

"Then it seems that this task is not that difficult~"

Murong Xue expressed a similar opinion to Lin Ling.

Yang Yunfei shook her head.

"Don't take it lightly. This shelter was rebuilt into a six-story building and is hidden next to an ordinary residential area. According to the original construction records, the altitude there is more than ten meters."

"That is to say, the water is now more than 30 meters deep."

Lin Ling took a breath of cold air when she heard this.

The water is so deep that if they want to confirm the authenticity of the shelter, they have to dive in!

Lin Ling can swim and has also dived in the swimming pool.

But that kind of scuba diving and diving more than 30 meters deep underwater are two completely different concepts!

......

But except for Lin Ling, everyone in the team seemed only slightly surprised by the news that the water was more than 30 meters deep, and did not find it difficult.

Seeing this, Lin Ling did not hide her doubts and asked directly:

"Well, the water is more than 30 meters deep? Can we get down there?"

Lin Ling, from her limited diving knowledge, probably remembered that ordinary people could only dive to a depth of about ten meters without equipment. Even with equipment, it would not be easy to dive to a depth of thirty meters.

After hearing Lin Ling's question, Murong Xue, who didn't want to continue the task, started to comfort her.

"Have you seen our equipment?"

Murong Xue said this with a smile, leaned back slightly, and gently patted the diving equipment neatly stacked at the back of the cabin.

"These diving suits are very good. They can easily handle water depths of 50 meters, not to mention 30 meters."

Hearing this, Lin Ling suddenly realized that she had just joined this team.

As for other team members, they may have had many diving experiences in past missions.

Lin Ling nodded to show that she understood, and then asked with some concern:

"Um... I've never been diving before, will it cause trouble for everyone?"

Yang Yunfei replied with a smile:

"Don't worry, we will let you stay on the boat and wait until the underwater environment is safe before arranging for you to go into the water for the experience.

After all, this is your first mission, and it's normal to be unfamiliar with everything, so don't worry too much."

Li Huimin, who was next to her, also patted Lin Ling's shoulder gently at this time, giving her encouragement and comfort.
