On the computer screen, on the detection instrument centered on Claudia's body, there are several red dots that symbolize danger signals are rapidly approaching, and you don't need to think about it to know that these are the sea beasts that once erased the "navy" from the human system and occupied the deep sea.

A federal officer with the rank of major general said anxiously: "Quickly find a way to fight back!" See if you can fight off these beasts! ”

"Nope! No way! John directly rejected the Major General's suggestion, and he quickly turned on the communicator connected to Claudia, and said in a deep voice, "Claudia! Don't show any hostility to the beast, you turn off the movement system on your body, just float there and don't move, don't move! ”

"Corporal, do you know what you're talking about?" The Federal Major General squeezed John's shoulders and asked solemnly.

"Of course I know, I'm saving my buddies, and I'm saving everyone here!" John, who was in a working state, was very serious, and even unceremoniously brushed off the major general's hand and continued to operate on the computer, he looked at the screen and said to himself, "We can't defeat the sea beasts, there is no doubt about it, even if we force the dive, the speed is not necessarily faster than them, in this way, there is only one way." ”

"Fierce beasts have a natural instinct for human aggression, and they also rely on sight, smell and other senses, if they act vigorously at this time, they will definitely chase and beat them." John transmitted a series of instructions to Claudia through the computer, staring intently at the various data on the screen, and said in a low voice, "So, how many parts of the Valkyries that have been transformed into mechanical forms can be considered 'human'?" In particular, the deep-sea module is assembled, and 99% of the whole body is mechanized! At this time, if the movement system is stopped, can the beast really tell that this is the enemy? Or will you think of her as... A piece of scrap metal? ”

The attacking beasts were very fast, far faster than the regular ships of the old days, and they surrounded Claudia from different directions, their vicious eyes glowing slightly under the deep sea, illuminating the gill glands on their faces and the sharp teeth in their mouths.

When she found out that the beast was attacking, Claudia's first reaction was to speed up and flee into the deep sea, perhaps using the pressure of the deep sea to isolate the beast's pursuit.

But before Claudia could carry it out, John's words came, and although she was very skeptical that the usually dull-looking John was unreliable, she still entrusted her life to this old friend who fought side by side under the deep sea full of crises and without any combat experience.

Claudia turned off all locomotion systems, retaining only communication with John, and the whole body was in a state of non-functioning, floating in the lightless depths, slowly sinking with the currents.

A ferocious beast approached Claudia and swam around her several times, its spiky tail skimming the mech from time to time, as if to confirm the threat.

The beast leaned its face in front of Claudia and let out a few menacing growls, if it was a prey prey pretending to be dead, it should tremble nine times out of ten, but the beast did not observe the trembling, as if facing a dead object.

Claudia's whole body was covered in the machinery of the Deep Sea Module, which looked like a pile of metal from the outside, but of course, she could clearly see the beasts moving around her, and through the slight fluorescence of the light on their bodies, she could also see the teeth used to tear at the prey.

One of the beasts was more irritable and slapped Claudia with its swift tail, which directly broke a part of the deep-sea module, and a small amount of seawater began to leak into the internal body.

Leaks in the deep sea are very dangerous, as the water pressure increases, the damage to the shell will only get worse, and once it is overfilled, the whole body is likely to not be able to float!

Claudia subconsciously wanted to restart the body and quickly sink to get rid of the beast, but John seemed to have figured out Claudia's psychology, and his voice came into his mind: "Claudia, you must not move now, must... Trust me..."

The beast circled Claudia for a few more minutes, but never felt any threat, and took her for some discarded metal, after all, there was a fierce battle on the ice field just now, and countless armored troops sank, and this pile of "scrap metal" may be part of it.

The beasts finally circled for a while, lost interest, and swam somewhere else, judging from their speed at this time, their stealth speed was much higher than that of the Valkyrie of the Deep Sea Module, and if Claudia had chosen to run away just now, they would have been caught up and torn apart by this time.

After the beast was far away, Claudia confirmed that there was no threat around, and then reactivated the motor system, and when she checked the meter data, she realized that her nerves were tense to the extreme, if it weren't for the fact that most of her body had been converted into machinery, her heart rate might be over 150.

Claudia glanced at the leaky area, and since most of the equipment had been taken away, there was no way to make temporary repairs, she paused, and reported, "I will continue the mission." ”

"Claudia," John's worried voice came, "your mech shell has been damaged, and if you explore the deep sea, the water pressure will get higher and higher, and the damage will get worse and worse, I don't recommend this..."

Soon, the stern rebuke of the federal major general sounded beside John: "Corporal! Do you want to question the commander-in-chief's decision?! War is not a game, how can it be safe everywhere! ”

John said with some reluctance, "But... Isn't it more important to save a life than to die in vain? If you live, you have hope, and when you die, you have nothing! ”

"Corporal! I am very disappointed with your remarks! As a federal soldier, you're..."

Halfway through the scolding of the Federal Major General, Claudia took the initiative to interrupt the dispute and said calmly: "I will continue the mission, Corporal John, please assist me." ”

John was silent for a moment, then gave a low sigh of grace and said faintly: "When you come back, I will take you to drink Jiangnan's fine wine..."

"I don't drink." Claudia said dryly, and before she dived, she thought for a moment and said, "Still, thank you..."

Thank you, the word rarely appears in the mouth of the icy Valkyrie, really rarely.

After Claudia finished speaking, she activated the locomotion system on her body, dived into the deep sea, and swooped down with the current.

John returned to work, meticulously following the data that Claudia had sent back, keeping his eyes off the screen for a moment.

The federal major general chattered in the back, complaining to his companions: "This corporal has a problem with his thinking, as a federal soldier, he actually passively avoids the war!" Death on the battlefield, this should be the glory of a soldier! ”

Several companions who have a good relationship with the major general are also helping, on the one hand, it is indeed because of the difference in thinking of the two sides, and on the other hand, it is the political suppression of John, the "assistant of the Ministry of Defense", it is clear that no one wants to see someone younger than himself get too close to the Minister of Defense.
