"Closer?" I asked Red Moon.

"You'll find it if you get closer."

"What then?"

"There are many ways, it depends on whether you want to help them or make trouble."

"What do you mean?"

Hongyue said: "If you want to help, go directly down to explain the situation, if you want to make trouble...... Aren't you good yet? โ€

"I don't know this guild, and I don't know if they are looking for things for China or the Japanese, so it's really hard to decide for a while. The last time I saw them, it was a little weird, and I can't say it. โ€

"What's this strange method?"

"But little Japan is in front, they are in the back. The distance between them is not too far, but they don't notice each other, and they don't react to the big movement of our war. It can be understood that they were chasing small Japan to get back China's things, and it was really far away at that time, so they didn't hear it. But this explanation is a bit far-fetched. On the other hand, it can be understood that they are the delivery party, and Little Japan is the one who receives the goods. They are simply wolves bรจi for treachery, one to send and one to pick up. Pretending to be chasing Little Japan is actually escorting the Japanese away. โ€

"It's not a small problem when you say that."

"So I don't know if to sabotage their operations or not."

"Why don't we try something else?"

"What's the method?"

"Isn't your pet capable of moving in the water? Find a player to scam and come out. โ€

"Isn't that a scareless snake?"

"Can anyone in the darkness overcome the two of us? It's really not possible to knock out those night pearls, it's dark around us and we can see things, and I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with these stupid people? โ€

"Then try it!"

A few minutes later, Ayana wore a suit of armor I had put together for him, posing as a player, and swam down the chain. The other party saw that Ayana was all in the same place, but there seemed to be no hostility. Ayana landed on the hull of the ship and said loudly: "I am the progress supervisor sent by the Japanese side, how are you doing?" We don't have much time. โ€

A person who was better at piercing the ground ran out of the wreck of the ship below, because it was underwater, and everyone used a full-coverage mask, so he couldn't see his face clearly. The man swam to Ayana's side. "If you're in a hurry, just catch it yourself. We gave it to you last time. It's you yourself who have been found out and sunk, what does it matter to us? โ€

I could clearly hear Ayana's voice with my psychic contact, and now everything was clear. Ayana got my instructions and didn't bother anymore. "Anyway, you guys hurry up, it's tight from above." With that, she turned and swam up.

Ayana swam all the way until she was completely out of sight, then turned around, circled around and turned back again. I helped her remove the armor she was putting on the outside. "That's good, I didn't expect you to have a talent for acting."

"Of course, doesn't the master know that mermaids are all natural performers?"

"Okay, okay, you can blow it!"

Red Moon pointed over there and said, "They seem to be preparing to evacuate. โ€

I quickly looked over there, and sure enough, I saw the people running around. But the men didn't go far before they stopped, and then turned back to look at the battleship. The chains shook for a moment, and then the metal twisted and torn. It seems that they began to salvage.

However, the situation did not seem to be the same as expected, and the battleship did not leave the bottom of the sea after being towed by the chains. It seems that the pull is not enough. Just as we were wondering, the battleship suddenly shook for a moment, and then suddenly rose. The chains pulled the battleship up, and then suddenly loosened. The battleship slammed into the bottom of the sea with a loud bang. Underwater the sound is relatively easy to travel, and we feel as if the battleship is landing right next to us.

The chains didn't mean to pull the battleship up, but kept lifting the battleship down, and they were hitting the hull. The battleship was already riddled with holes by us, and when it sank, it was broken into several pieces due to water ingress, and now it was almost completely broken up by their repeated hits. Fortunately, the deep seabed is not full of mud like a lake. So it didn't muddy the waters. The sand and gravel here are pressed to the ground quite densely, so they can sink quickly after floating up.

The repeated collisions finally broke the battleship apart, and the broken iron sheets and parts scattered in all directions, and the mess fell everywhere. That's what they're for, those lifting equipment is not to salvage the battleship but to break it apart.

Fragments of the ship's wreckage were scattered around, and the players regrouped back around the ship and began rummaging. They must not have been able to find what they were looking for, so they deliberately scattered the boat to make it easier to find it. After all, the inside of the battleship was deformed in many places due to shelling, and some gates could not be opened, while some aisles might also be deformed and could not be passed.

The large booms hoisted the remaining large pieces of wreckage, some went inside to look for them, and most of the players began to rummage through the pile of trash like scavengers for their targets. In this way, it seems that the target time is not very large, otherwise it would be so difficult to find.

"What do you think could be that would make them so bothered?" Red Moon asked me.

"It's not equipment anyway, otherwise it wouldn't have been transported by warship. It would be safer to find someone to bring with you. So it must be something that doesn't fit in storage. โ€

"So it's something used on a battleship or in a city?"

"Not necessarily. In addition to the technology used by cities and warships, there are quite a few things that meet the conditions, such as creatures. But it seems that this transportation place is not a living thing, otherwise it would not have been solved in such a rude way. โ€

"That's one of the two?"

"No surprises, yes."

"Look there." Red Moon suddenly pointed to a person over there. The guy was shaking there with a box in his hand. The people gathered around, but they looked at it for a while and seemed to quarrel. One of them threw the box away. The box was empty, there was no stuff in it, and the reason for the quarrel was probably because the box that was supposed to contain the things they needed was actually empty.

The box was located closer to the periphery, and I asked Hongyue not to move, and groped my way to get closer to the box. With the help of the blocking of the rocks on the seabed. I managed to get behind the rock next to the box. While they weren't looking, I pulled the box into my hand as fast as I could, and then reached back to Hongyue.

Hongyue took the box and studied it and said, "This is just a very ordinary box, nothing special!" โ€

I took the box back and said, "There's a lot of information on it." First of all, judging from the internal shape of the box, what we are looking for is a spherical object, or something like a sphere. Judging by its size, it's a bit bigger than a basketball, and it's very heavy. This box is lined with a steel support frame, apparently for reinforcement. Also, there is no soft lining on the surface of this box, which means that this thing is very strong. At least it's something that isn't afraid of falling. โ€

"There is some truth in the analysis, but there is still one missing."

"Huh? Lack? โ€

Red Moon snatched the box and pointed it out to me. "Here, see? There's clearly something embedded in this place. This means that there are three to five protruding parts on that spherical object. โ€

"I can't see that you are still a woman who is careful!"

"What do you mean by that? Do you say that I don't look like a woman? โ€

"No, no, no!" I accidentally poked the hornet's nest. Hurry up and interrupt. "Look here."

"What's wrong?"

"The locking device for this box. It seems to have been forcibly knocked out by something. โ€

Hongyue looked at it for a long time and said, "That thing is no longer in the box, which means that the box was opened before it sank to the bottom of the sea." And this thing must have been placed in an important part of the ship at that time, and this should not have happened. Unless ......"

"It was hit by a shell." I called out at the same time as Red Moon.

Red Moon continued to reason: "You said that the ship was sunk by our fleet, which means that it sank after being shelled. Judging from the wreckage of the hull, this battleship is very ordinary, and if it is the secondary gun of our fleet, it should be able to shoot shells into the deep cabin. Maybe a cannonball hit the storage place and blew the lock of the box off. โ€

I then reasoned, "Then the ship broke down. In other words, the compartment with the fracture becomes an exposed position. If the box had been in a nearby compartment at the time, it would have probably fallen out of the ship when it sank. โ€

Red Moon raised doubts about this. "But the box was near the wreckage, and it didn't go far. But why is the content gone? โ€

I continued, "There may be only one. Someone took something away. This thing is so important, it can't be left unattended. The man found that the hull was broken, and the contents of the ship ran out, so he must have chased it. โ€

"But little Japan didn't get anything."

"That means the man wasn't able to salvage the item."

Red Moon suddenly said, "Maybe he rescued the items but couldn't send them to another ship." โ€

I nodded, "At that time, the surrounding ships were basically wiped out, and all the people in the water were killed by rapid-fire guns, maybe that little Japanese was killed together." โ€

"That means this thing sank later than the ship. The current in the ocean is unstable, and if the time interval between falls is relatively large. It is possible for things to be distributed in different locations. โ€

"Wait, wait, wait." I shouted, "It doesn't seem to be the case, we have made a mistake in our analysis." If a Japanese had ever seen that thing break out of the hull, why did they come to search the ship? Since Little Japan asked them to come looking for it, they will definitely tell them that the thing is no longer in the ship. So no one should have seen it when it left the ship. โ€

Hongyue said: "What is the reason for that?" โ€

I said, "The currents you just talked about may be the cause." โ€

"Ocean currents?"

"Let's summarize the gist of the matter. First of all, the battleship broke when it sank, and most of the contents fell out. The second bullet point. The lock of the box was broken by a shell before it could fall into the water, and it could open itself at any time and drop its contents out. The third point. This is the sea, and the currents are very unstable, and that thing can land anywhere. โ€

Hongyue said: "I understand. You're saying that the box fell into the water and opened it on its own, and the contents fell out. โ€

"That's right! The thing must have fallen out, or it would have been found along with the box. Different things because of the specific gravity and shape. The ability to drift with ocean currents is also different. It is not easy to drift than the gravity dร  ground stuff. It will appear very close to the sinking site, while something that is heavy on the skit may be taken far away. โ€

Hongyue said: "The box has been reinforced, and the content inside is of great mass, and judging from the volume of the box, it is not very large, which means that this thing has a large proportion." The round shape is not easily carried around by ocean currents. So that thing must be somewhere between where the accident happened and here. โ€

I said, "But I don't know where we're at war." โ€

"Then follow the current upstream to find it, that thing must have bottomed out in the upstream in advance."

I hurriedly said to Ayana, "Can you feel the ocean current?" โ€

"Of course. If you don't even feel it, it's not a sea creature! โ€

"Then take us upstream now."

Instead of taking us away immediately, Ayana whispered, "I don't sound like I missed something from your conversation just now. โ€

"What are we missing?" Red Moon looked at Ayana curiously and waited for her answer.

Ayana replied, "You may not know these things if you didn't grow up in the sea, but I know very well that the sea is not like lakes and rivers, and it does not flow steadily. In some places, the seasons change so badly that they can even be completely reversed. โ€

"But it's only been a few days, and the ocean currents won't change so strictly, right?"

"It's not just the seasonal currents that are the problem. Another problem is laminar flow. The currents in the ocean flow in layers. The surface water flows in different directions than the underlying seawater. In some places, the water drops vertically by 100 meters, and the sea water changes direction three or four times in a row. The surface water is affected by the wind. Middle seawater is affected by seawater salinity and temperature. The bottom water is affected by the topography of the seafloor and the gravitational pull of the moon. The change will be so great that there will be no way to determine the direction of the currents as you say. Our mermaid clan used to be real. From the same point on the surface of the sea, drop a stone down every minute, a total of 100 stones. As a result, they each fell in 100 discontinuous positions with each other, the two farthest stones separated by more than 700 kilometers. It was a relatively stable day, and if there was a storm or something, it would be over. โ€

Red Moon and I were dumbfounded. Is there such a strange situation in the sea? Looks like we've made things simple!

I asked Ayana, "How do you know how we can determine the exact location of that thing?" โ€

Ayana said, "It is impossible to completely reproduce the current of heaven and earth. If only you knew the drag coefficient of that thing in the water and its specific gravity proportion. I can work out the approximate possible range radius near its entry point. But you don't even seem to know what that thing looks like, so it doesn't seem like possible. There's also unfortunate news, and I said you have to stand up. โ€

"Is there anything worse than this?"

"Absolutely. Let's say a giant sea creature swallows that thing as food......! From what you have just analyzed, it is impossible to digest that thing, and if the creature pulls it out, it may cover the entire earth in its location. For example, migratory creatures like whales will run around the globe, and they may not know where it will be pulled out. Maybe in the Pacific, maybe in the Atlantic, it's a needle in the bottom of the sea anyway. If that thing doesn't get out of its belly, it's even worse. It's more troublesome to find something that runs around at the bottom of the sea than to find a needle at the bottom of the sea, and you can't catch all the sea creatures and disembowel them, right? Besides, given the size of that thing, it is possible that the number of organisms that swallowed it is calculated in billions, and it is impossible to know for sure. โ€

"Isn't that just going to be found forever?"

"The only way is to look for possible areas and hope that nothing eats it. Most sea creatures don't eat inanimate things. So the possibility of being eaten is not very high. You don't have to worry too much. โ€

I rekindled my hope: "So how big is this possible area?" I'll see how long it takes to search for it. โ€

"At least 5,000 square kilometers!"

"Forget it, when I didn't say it." After such a large area has been searched, it is time for the national war to begin. It's good to find such a large area on land, but it is impossible to find such a large area in the sea. โ€

Hongyue also said: "Unless we have 5,000 people searching, it is impossible to find it." This range is too large. โ€

I nodded, "I think it's better to send someone to spy on them." As long as they don't find it, we still don't want to waste that manpower ourselves, the project is too huge! โ€

Ayana said: "Actually, I have a way. โ€

"What's the solution?"

"Please, Atlantis, help find it. Merfolk can find things in the water just as easily as you do on land, and you can offer a bounty of two magic crystals to ensure that there are plenty of merfolk to help you find them. โ€

"That's a solution, but anyway, now isn't the time, let's go back first!"

"What about this side?"

"Destroy it first, affect their search speed."

"Who?" Suddenly there was a shouting from behind us. Ayana pulled the two of us forward and let go of the flying harpoons. It's terrible that it was discovered.

Those players didn't know how to spot us, but luckily we were fast. The little dragon girl quickly brought up a piece of sand and gravel with her tail to muddy the water, and Hongyue and I stepped onto the speedboat and quickly evacuated. We have speedboats that are definitely much faster than those players. The speed of the little dragon girl and Ayana is not much slower than that of a speedboat. After the sand and gravel settled, they only saw a string of blisters, and the person was long gone.

Driving the speedboat upwards. When we reached the rectangular steel frame, we stopped. I easily slashed the chains with eternity, and the steel frame immediately sank into the depths, and now they were busy. Back on the boat, but our target wasn't Isenghe, but Atlantis.

The affairs of the white shark clan are very important. I'll have to make it clear to Atlantis the Great myself, and I'll have the merfolk help me find it. Another reason to travel to Atlantis is that it's so close to Atlantis that it's too far back to Isengard. Anyway, since we have the crystal resonance communication technology, we already have a special communication line with Atlantis, and we can direct the affairs of the guild when we get to Atlantis.

With Ayana leading the way, we soon arrived in Atlantis, and the situation here was somewhat unexpected. It's like Atlantis has just been hit by an atomic bomb, and all the buildings in the city have collapsed. The waterproof land protection cover flickered as if it would disappear at any moment.

Red Moon's first reaction was, "Could it be that the White Shark Clan attacked Atlantis?" โ€

"Not so fast, right? Even if they are treacherous, they can't attack here before us, right? Preparation for war takes time! โ€

"So how do you explain that? Could it be that they fought it themselves? โ€

"Ayana!" Seeing the damage to Atlantis, Ayana rushed over, and I didn't stop shouting. Although she has become a demon pet, she is the princess here after all, and she is also a place where she once lived.

The situation in front of us looked like it had been attacked, the whole of Atlantis was in ruins, and many places on the surrounding submarine mountains were collapsed and damaged, and it was obvious that the blow was crazy. It was an almost indiscriminate attack, and even the mountains were blown up.

There are three small satellite towns around Atlantis, and the three small buildings are now very badly damaged, but the waterproof protective cover is still intact. From here, you can see a lot of merfolk congregating over there, presumably moving the little merfolk. Merfolk who have not survived their infancy cannot survive in the water for a long time, so the merfolk have made so much effort to make a waterproof cover. Now that the city waterproof cover is falling apart, they must be busy moving the little mermaid to a safe small city.
