After hearing Neil's report, the commander immediately ordered the submarine to resurface, and before it surfaced, the two couldn't wait to stretch out the periscope, and it was naturally still dark.

"Neil, what do you see out there? ”

"Wait a minute, sir. Neil slipped a spare bullet into the chamber of the flare gun, and another gleaming flare shot into the air, dispelling the endless darkness once again.

"What the hell?"

"How so?"

The Medic and the Commander exclaimed at the same time, the Doctor was surprised, and the Commander looked completely disbelieving.

"It's impossible, if there is such a big island, why can't we see it on our sonar system? Is it a mirage?"

The doctor obviously didn't think of this, and he was stunned for a moment, "It seems a little strange that you say that. But fanaticism soon filled his mind, "Commander, you have to think so, we have come this way, which thing is in line with the norm. Have you ever thought that there would be a city at the bottom of such a god's sea, and a strange passage, and then we would find a place with air in the depths of the ocean? ”

The commander lifted his hat again and again, a little unsure of what to do, all this did not match his perception at all, it was like a dream.

"Boss?" Seeing that the second flare had also dimmed, the boss was shocked but did not reply, and Neil, who was about to freeze, asked in the channel.

"Whatever the hell is out there, at least we should go and see it first, shouldn't we? ”

"Chief, if you don't let me go back, at least let me climb to the deck, it's too cold in the water. ”

The commander ordered the water to be emptied, and the submarine emerged from under the water, and although the black light was blind, Neil swam over to the sound of the water, touched the guardrail at the edge of the deck, and climbed up.

Seeing the doctor staring at him, the commander sighed and asked a sailor to fetch a couple of MP38s, while he himself took a C96 from the room.

"It's tasteful. The doctor declined the mp38 handed over by the sailor, looked at the commander's automatic pistol with interest, and pulled out a beautifully made revolver.

"Nagant M1895, elegant beauty. His fingers pushed the magazine, which spun around many times with a crisp sound.

The commander shrugged, he had no particular interest in guns, and left the sonar officer and chief engineer in the submarine, ready to answer, beckoning the communications officer and the two sailors to go out with him to check it out.

"Neil, the air outside is fine. ”

"No problem, the flare burns neatly. Neil lay on the deck, his cold voice trembling a little, "You guys wait a minute, I'll take off my helmet and give it a try." ”

He untied the rope that was fastened to the back of his head, and with great difficulty pulled out half of the heavy iron hat, but not completely. The nose sniffed lightly, and he casually prepared to put the helmet back on.

The air was very humid and smelled of sulphur, and after a short while, there seemed to be no sign of poisoning. Neil gasped for a few more breaths, not feeling a lack of oxygen, the air was breathable.

"Alright, sir, you can come out, the air is fine. With that, Neil dropped the helmet onto the deck, slamming it with a thud, and then unloaded the two equally heavy oxygen cylinders behind him, rubbing his numb hands.

The Commander nodded to the doctor and climbed the ladder himself

, C96 stuck in the holster around his waist. When he touched the shaft cover, he hesitated briefly, then unscrewed the lock and pushed the lid out.

It was pitch black outside, even darker than the inside of a submarine with a dim red light. The commander groped his way out of the shaft, crouched on the deck to the side, and said into the communicator, "Turn on the searchlights." ”

"Boss, the searchlights have been destroyed by the water. "That's the voice of the first mate.

The commander stomped on the deck in exasperation, "I can't see anything, what can be done." ”

"Relax, Kommandant." The first mate said, "Strong Andrew's backpack has everything you need. ”

Suddenly, a yellow light shone from behind, reflecting the water-strewn deck, and it came from the hands of a man who was not tall but looked very strong, and he walked up to the commander and the doctor, and handed them a thick iron rod each.

The commander took it, twisted it on his head, and a light that also glowed yellow immediately shot out, it was a flashlight.

"I remember you, you were a good man at moving fish and mines. The doctor looked Andrew up and down in front of him, took the flashlight and lit it, and the three flashlights immediately brightened up the surroundings. Brody and Olivia were brought in by the doctor, but they didn't have the flashlight that was almost half their height, so they had to look around with the pillars of light.

"You can't see anything where those buildings are. The doctor shone it around with a flashlight, and found that there was nothing but water and water in the range of the light.

"Neil, where are those damn buildings?" the commander asked.

"Neil??" A few seconds passed, and no one answered, and the commander asked again, turning his head to search, only to find that there was no boatswain anywhere.

"When we came out just now, we didn't seem to see anyone on the deck. The doctor said with a frown.

The commander actually realized that something was wrong just now, why was it so quiet outside after coming out, and he thought it was because it was too dark, but now he realized that the boatswain who was supposed to be waiting for them on the deck was gone.

"Boatswain!" he shouted, the light of the flashlight swept around the water, but he didn't even see the ripples, and from the time they finished contacting a few people to come out, there were only a few seconds in between.

"I'm afraid this place is a little weird. Nagant slipped into the doctor's hand, and he carefully looked at the place where the flashlight had hit, and there was not even a movement of fish in the water, how did a large living person disappear into thin air?

"Andrew, go get me the flares. The commander also copied the C96 in his hand and opened the safe, he had a very strange feeling that some monster was hiding in the darkness, and that it could emerge from the darkness at any moment and take one of them away.

Andrew soon got out of the submarine again, armed with three flare guns and a whole bunch of flares. The Medic and the Commander each took one handful, and the three of them raised their hands at the same time, and three white flares flew high, illuminating the space.

Not far ahead, there was indeed an island-like land, so clear that you could even see the white spray of the sea at its edge, it could not be a mirage, a wide staircase pointed in this direction, and then snaked up.

"Look!" Andrew took a step forward, gesturing to the steps.

In fact, he doesn't mean that other people have seen it,

There was a man there, walking slowly up, although he couldn't see his appearance clearly, but he was dressed in black and did look like Neil in a diving suit.

"Did that guy fly over with wings?" muttered Andrew, "it's half a nautical mile away, and he can't run on the water." ”

"Don't talk nonsense," the commander said with a gloomy face, "what the hell is going on, you'll find out when you catch him." Chief Engineer, start the diesel engine, double into one, keep the surface sailing, listen to my commands. von (sonarman), active sonar continues to turn on, report immediately if you find an obstacle!"

A large number of bubbles bubbled up at the back of the submarine, and the submarine drove towards the island on the water, and whenever the sky was dark, the commander would fire a new flare, and the rest of the people would hold the loaded submachine guns in their hands and wait for them.

The "neil" seemed to finally react, he stopped, then slowly turned around and looked in this direction, even with flares, his face still impossible to see from this distance.

"What's that in his hand?" the doctor found that "Neil" was carrying a long stick-like thing in his hand, almost as tall as he was, and there seemed to be three tips at the top, "How does it feel like a trident?"

Half a nautical mile was not a long distance, and soon the submarine was close to the island. The submarine suddenly stopped, and the forward trend suddenly stopped, and several people almost fell down.

"Boss, we look like we've hit something!

The commander was confused, it was clear that there was still some distance from the island, could it be that the seabed below was already very shallow, and the submarine ran aground?

"Von!, isn't there any response from the sonar?"

"No, Chief, there's nothing ahead on the sonar!"

"Stop!" The commander quickly ran to the front of the submarine and shone it down with a flashlight, only to discover that there was really "something" in this light...... Object.

It looked like a large pile of coral, they were very dense, clustered, layered, dense, firmly blocking the path of the submarine.

"What the hell is this?" the commander tried to reach for it, but immediately retracted his hand, and then he asked for an MP38 from a sailor, holding the barrel of the gun and sticking the butt inside, trying to touch the nearest mysterious object.

As a result, the thing had no shape, and was pushed back by the butt, and the butt was taken away and slowly changed back to its original form. The commander pulled the bolt of his gun and fired at it, splashing in all directions.

The thing was shattered, and some parts broke away and floated to the surface, and the commander dragged a small piece with the butt of his rifle and took it.

Everyone gathered around to see what it was that could not be seen on sonar, only to see that the object had become soft and yellowish after being removed from the water, and there were many hollows on it, which was a little disgusting.

"Well, it's a sponge!" Andrew exclaimed, grabbing it and pinching it hard, and the sea water trapped in the cavity was immediately squeezed out, and the thing was also pinched flat, and when Andrew let go of his hand, it quickly bounced back.

"Sponge?" Everyone looked at each other and looked underwater at the same time, could it be that this thing was all a sponge?

Doesn't that mean that the entire underneath and around the island is full of animals with this strange shape?!
