"Smack-"

Rachel slapped Kelly firmly in the face. "Enough! Nichol and they arrived before us, and before the professor died, he asked Mr. Yan to take us to Stephanie. The professor believes in Mr. Yan, and we have to trust Mr. Yan, and after meeting Stephanie, we will decide how to deal with Williams. ”

This slap made Kelly stupid, and it also changed Chu Tianjiang's opinion of Rachel.

Rachel's decisive style is very rare among women, and she is not chaotic when she encounters problems, and she is sober and rational when she encounters problems, which shows that she is indeed a good leader.

Also, Rachel's prestige in "Flower Butterfly" is unmatched.

The slap was heavy, but Kelly didn't dare to resist at all. It's just that if there are no complaints, then it's not clear.

"Mr. Yan, what now?"

"Get out of here first, you guys have a good rest for a while, and wait for tomorrow ......"

"Rachel, no." Before Chu Tianjiang's words were finished, Chloe and another "Flower Butterfly" ran over out of breath.

She should be Michelle that Chu Tianjiang hadn't seen before.

Looking at her appearance, figure and temperament, Michelle can be said to be another Maya, giving people a very capable and reliable feeling.

"What's wrong?"

"Self-destruct...... The self-destruct device has been activated......"

"What?" Rachel was startled and immediately took two steps forward, "How long is it?" ”

"Fifteen minutes."

Seeing Rachel's panicked appearance, Chu Tianjiang immediately asked, "What self-destruct device?" ”

"A nuclear warhead of the W88 type with an explosive yield of 150,000 tons."

"What!?" Chu Tianjiang's eyes immediately widened.

"Kelly, you four go get scuba and underwater thrusters, and meet at the docks later."

"I'll go too!" Nichole said a word and left with Kelly and the other four.

Rachel picked up Maya. Chu Tianjiang hurriedly stepped forward. "Let me come, I have great strength, you lead the way in front. Can't the self-destruct device be turned off? ”

"The self-destruct device is timed for forty-five minutes and can only be turned off within fifteen minutes of starting."

It must have been Williams who activated the self-destruct device before leaving, even before leaving, and Zhilu Dao couldn't be turned off fifteen minutes after it was activated.

"Are we going down?"

"Yes. Go to the pier. Now when you go to the surface, you will definitely not be able to escape, you can only escape from underwater. ”

Chu Tianjiang nodded, he also thought of this. If the self-destruct device is not buried deep enough, escaping from the ground is tantamount to death.

Two minutes later, the trio came to a watertight door.

A short time later, Nicol and five others arrived with scuba and small submersible thrusters. To make it easy to carry, all five were dressed in scuba clothes, with Nicol carrying two scuba and the other four each carrying a small submersible thruster and fins for swimming.

"You don't use scuba?"

"I don't need to." Chu Tianjiang put a breathing mask on Maya.

Rachel didn't ask much, nodded back to the sisters, pushed it hard against the door, and turned the handle on the door.

The door opened a crack, and a strong air stream blew out, and Rachel had already used all her strength.

Apparently, behind the door is a pressurized area.

Seeing Rachel's struggling appearance, Chu Tianjiang immediately freed up one hand and pushed the door open.

Feeling that the amount of strength in her body was rapidly decreasing, Rachel glanced at Chu Tianjiang in a little surprise. You must know that the pressure in the area behind the door is 20 atmospheres, even if there is a set of hydraulic decompression devices on the door, the pressure acting on the door panel is one ton, and it usually takes several people to open it. Chu Tianjiang only used one hand, and it seemed that he hadn't used much strength yet, and he easily opened the door panel.

How much strength does this guy have?

"Hurry in, don't delay."

Rachel came back to her senses, quickly arranged for the other sisters to go in, and then took the Maya that Chu Tianjiang was holding with one hand, while Chu Tianjiang stayed behind.

After entering, as soon as Chu Tianjiang let go, the door panel automatically closed.

"Two people with one underwater thruster, and Nichole followed me. Mr. Yan, you are in charge of Maya. ”

Although Nicol was a little reluctant, he did not object to the fact that Maya was injured, her movement was restricted, and she needed someone to take care of her.

Eight people were launched at the same time.

A few minutes later, an extremely narrow undersea passage appeared in front of me, a naturally formed tubular submarine cavern to be exact.

The entrance to the cave is very narrow, less than a meter in diameter, and it is uneven.

Rachel gestured a few times and made the others huddle.

Chu Tianjiang didn't think much about it, and immediately hugged Maya. Maya hugged him tightly, too, and pressed as fast as she could to him so as not to get caught in the protruding rock.

In such a confined space, it is difficult to swing the limbs and must rely on underwater thrusters.

In addition, the cave is very long, almost a thousand meters.

Obviously, this is also the reason why Nicole preferred to drill into the sewers before than chose this route. Without underwater thrusters and scuba, even if Chu Tianjiang could breathe underwater, it would be impossible for the two of them to pass through this narrow cave. As long as it is stuck by the protruding rock, it must be more than lucky.

Rushing out of the cave, Chu Tianjiang immediately threw away the submersible thruster and caught up with Rachel and Nicol as fast as he could.

After grabbing the underwater thruster shared by the two, Chu Tianjiang nodded at the two. Nichole was the first to understand, and quickly reached out his left hand and grabbed the underwater thruster on the left side, which Chloe and Michelle shared. Rachel came to her senses and grabbed the underwater thruster that Kelly and Chloe shared with her right hand.

The top speed of the underwater thruster is only ten knots, and it can only reach eight knots when carrying two people.

It took six minutes to get through the cave, and counting the time it had taken before, there were still five minutes left before the self-destruct device detonated, and at this point everyone was only about a kilometer away from the base.

Chu Tianjiang exerted all his strength, and his legs were desperately kicking the water.

If there is no drag, Chu Tianjiang's diving speed can reach twenty knots. Take seven "flower butterflies" with you, and you can only use your feet to pedal the water, and you can only reach ten knots.

And even then, it's a little faster than using underwater thrusters.

In addition, there were three underwater thrusters assisted, with a speed of more than twelve knots.

In five minutes, it's only enough to swim out of the sea, almost just in the middle of the bay. New York Bay was originally a harbor with an average water depth of less than 20 meters, but after the catastrophe caused a strong earthquake, the earth's crust collapsed as a whole, not only causing the southern tip of Manhattan Island to sink below the sea surface, but also making the bay more than 500 meters deep, and showing a trend of shallow north and south deep, and the water depth at the outlet of the bay was close to 1,000 meters.

Chu Tianjiang did not go south, but to the north.

It is necessary to reach the shallow water as much as possible, otherwise even if you dodge the nuclear explosion, you will be blasted to the bottom of the sea when the shock wave of the nuclear explosion arrives.

Sinking to the bottom of the sea hundreds of meters deep, Chu Tianjiang can't die, but Nicol and the others will be crushed.

It is important to know that for every 10 meters of dive, the increased water pressure is equivalent to one atmosphere. At a depth of several hundred meters, tin cans will be flattened, let alone flesh and blood.

The Doomsday Warrior system suddenly sounded a radiation alarm.

Although the shock wave of the nuclear explosion has not yet arrived, Chu Tianjiang knows that the nuclear warhead has exploded, and the nuclear radiation transmitted at the speed of light arrives first.

What to do?

In a hurry, Chu Tianjiang first thought of saving Nichol. But the radiation had arrived, and Nicol and the others were exposed to it.

Even if the Doomsday Warrior system had been used to wrap up Nichol, she would have been irradiated.

The radiation dose has not risen, only in the danger zone, and has not yet reached a lethal level. Chu Tianjiang immediately stopped and swam back to Nichol.

After the radiation, the shock wave comes.

It is also the shock wave that is really deadly.

When Chu Tianjiang grabbed Nicole, the shockwave arrived. To be precise, it is a highly compressed, extremely dense wall of water.

Chu Tianjiang quickly turned around and used his body to block the shock wave for Nicol and Maya.

Even with the protection of the Doomsday Warrior System, Chu Tianjiang's situation is very dangerous. All he could do was to desperately swim upstream to avoid being swept to the bottom of the ocean by the torrent formed by the shock wave.

Fortunately, the shock wave passed quickly and the sea calmed down.

The surroundings were empty, and Rachel and the others were long gone.

Nichol waved his arms vigorously and looked at Chu Tianjiang with wide eyes.

Chu Tianjiang knew that Nichole wanted him to save Rachel and the others. Let Nichol hug Maya, Chu Tianjiang gave a thumbs up, and then swam to the bottom of the sea.

Because it was night, it was pitch black underwater, but Chu Tianjiang could see it clearly.

Rachel was more than thirty meters away, slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea. Chu Tianjiang quickly caught up, helped her put on an oxygen mask, and then pressed her chest to make her spit out the seawater in her lungs. When Rachel began to breathe, Chu Tianjiang pinched her face hard, making her sober up.

Seeing that Rachel came to his senses, Chu Tianjiang pointed in the direction where Nichol was, and quickly swam away.

Subsequently, Chu Tianjiang used the same method to save Chloe, Michelle and Isabella.

By the time he caught up with Kelly, the depth had exceeded two hundred meters. Not only is Kelly's lungs full of seawater, but her alveoli are flattened and she has no heartbeat.

Save her?

Chu Tianjiang gritted his teeth, although he didn't have a good impression of Kelly, and even hated this little girl who was a fox and a fake tiger, but he couldn't die without help.

Besides, she's Nichole's sister. If she died, Nichole would surely be heartbroken.

Chu Tianjiang did not hesitate, pinched Kelly's nose with his hand, and then sucked out the seawater in Kelly's lungs through Kelly's mouth. After squeezing the seawater out of his mouth, Chu Tianjiang poured another burst of high-pressure oxygen into Kelly's lungs, and then used the Doomsday Warrior system to give an electric shock to make her heart beat again.

After some tossing, Kelly suddenly opened her eyes.

Seeing Chu Tianjiang and being "forcibly kissed" by Chu Tianjiang, Kelly struggled hard, desperately trying to push Chu Tianjiang away.

"Stinky, don't move if you want to live, I'm saving you!" Chu Tianjiang was very annoyed, how could he meet such a little woman who didn't know what to do?

Breathing pure oxygen from Chu Tianjiang's mouth, Kelly immediately understood and stopped struggling.

"Now, put on a breathing mask and float up slowly. Don't go too fast, stop every 10 meters to rest. Your blood is full of nitrogen, and you're dead if you just float to the surface. ”

Kelly nodded in horror, she obviously knew how harmful the diving sickness was.

Chu Tianjiang wanted to leave Kelly behind, thinking that if he went back alone, he was afraid that it would cause a misunderstanding, so he could only accompany Kelly to swim towards Nichol's location.
