Chapter 40: Deep Sea Tracking

"Okay, let's not talk about that, Atlas, you can tell us about the other three tracking routes." Zhou Xin said.

Now that Zhou Xin had made a decision, Atlas had no choice but to put this worry behind him for the time being and began to answer his question, "One of the tracking routes is just close to the bottom of the sea, and the depth is about a thousand meters. The other two routes have already advanced some distance near the bottom of the sea, at depths of about 1,200 meters and 2,000 meters respectively. At the same time as the introduction, the little girl showed the other three routes on the screen.

Looking at the three maps with almost the same shape on the screen, Zhou Xin couldn't help but say to himself: "These three routes will not extend into the trench like the main route." After saying this, he continued to ask Atlas, "In the process of tracking these lines, did you find anything suspicious about the other party's actions?" ”

After reviewing all the information, the little girl on the screen shook her head, "No abnormalities were found, and you can also see that the captain's brother can also see that every retreat route is quite smooth, and the route close to the bottom of the sea is almost straight, and there are no twists and turns." Therefore, it can be judged that their retreat went quite smoothly and was not disturbed by any unexpected circumstances. ”

"Hmm." Zhou Xin nodded subconsciously, "What is the situation at the mining site on the planet today, and the other party still hasn't appeared nearby?" ”

"No attackers were found within patrol range." The little girl replied, "In addition, our latest batch of underwater equipment has been added to the perimeter around the mining site, and it is working well. ”

"Good." Zhou Xin breathed a sigh of relief slightly, "Let's continue as we are now." Seeing that it was approaching midnight, he alerted the others and went to rest.

Soon, the time was for the next day. To everyone's surprise, nearly a day had passed, and the attackers who had been on the main route every day had not been heard from.

"What's going on? Aren't they ready to attack that ruin? In the evening, Dart said with some concern, "Or did they really find out that we were following you?" ”

"Probably not." Atlas said uncertainly, "Except for the main route, the number of attacks in other places is relatively normal. If it was discovered, it would definitely not be in such a place. ”

"Maybe it's just because there were too many attacks yesterday." At this time, although Zhou Xinzhong was also a little worried, he still opened his mouth to comfort, "So I just want to take a break today." ”

As soon as the words fell, the detector at the end of the main route discovered the other party who came to attack, which couldn't help but make Zhou Xin and them cry and laugh.

"They did it on purpose." Seeing the message sent back by the probe, Spred said with a strange expression, "This joke is not funny at all. ”

"I wish they had a normal sense of humor." Zhou Xin spread his hands, "But I'm afraid the truth is just a coincidence." ”

Although the attacker had been discovered in advance, in order to avoid the other party realizing that his whereabouts had been discovered, the detectors in the ruins did not prepare in advance, but continued to explore as usual. Next, after cooperating with the other party to stage another "attack incident", the probe, which had been waiting in the trench for a long time, began preparations for tracking.

Ten minutes later, the other party appeared in the field of view of the detector at the end of the tracking route. Then, without incident, the detector, which had already turned off most of the detection equipment, immediately followed them.

"Brother Captain, the speed of the other party's dive has slowed down." After a while, Atlas reported, "It seems that they are not immune to the deep-sea environment, but they are less affected than we are." ”

Although the speed of the opponent's dive has been reduced, the probe, which is also affected by the deep-sea environment, is still unable to keep up with them. After about 500 meters of diving in the trench, the probe lost its tracking target.

And so, for the next five days, following the attackers, the probe sank to a depth of about 4,500 meters. However, even so, the other side still did not stop moving towards the deep sea.

"The water is more than 5,000 deep, where are those attackers going to dive?" When the other party appeared from the deeper sea again, Spred finally couldn't help but ask, "Is it really going to take us to the bottom of the trench?" ”

"Now it seems that this possibility cannot be ruled out." Zhou Xin replied thoughtfully.

"Is their gathering place really going to be that deep?" Dart also asked suspiciously, "This is too exaggerated." ”

"At least that's the line of action of the other side so far." This time it was Atlas who answered, "All we can do now is to keep going." Then she made her own guess, "Don't keep looking at the current course of action, maybe we will end up in an unexpected place." ”

"Alright." Zhou Xin stopped everyone's conversation, "This attack of theirs is about to start again, Atlas, let the probe be ready to track." Hearing Zhou Xin's order, everyone suddenly fell silent.

After waiting for a while, the attacker who returned from the sneak attack dived into the deep sea of five thousand meters, and the probe, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately followed.

At this depth, it is truly a forbidden place for life, and even luminescent creatures adapted to the deep-sea environment rarely appear. Even the occasional one or two will not be larger than a knuckle, apparently due to the high pressure of the deep sea. In addition, all they could see in the detector lens was pitch black. In such a picture, no one can tell the operating status of the probes at all, and the only thing that can be sure is that they are still diving, and the only thing that is sure is that the number is slowly growing in the corner of the screen.

As a result, people rarely look at the big screen and focus on the data on the other screen. Seeing that the distance between the two sides on the screen gradually reached the limit detection range of the detector, Zhou Xin sighed slightly and said with a little disappointment: "Haven't you arrived yet?" Looks like we'll have to wait for them next timeβ€”"

"Brother Captain, look, what's that?" Before Zhou Xin's words could be finished, he was interrupted by Atlas's exclamation......
