"Brother Captain, the other party looks like he's stopped." At this time, nearly a day had passed since Zhou Xin and the others saw the luminous layer, and during the new tracking, Atlas reported to Zhou Xin.

At the same time as the little girl reported, Zhou Xin and the others were also paying close attention to this tracking. Now, in the footage sent back by the detector, the few points of light that represent the light emitted by the attacker itself are extremely faint. Judging by yesterday's tracking process, it won't be long before those spots of light disappear completely. But this was not the case, and after waiting for a while, instead of waiting for the light to disappear, they looked brighter. Obviously, the reason for this cannot be because the other party has started to turn back.

"It really looks like it's stopped." After a period of observation, Spred breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that the long tracking can finally come to an end." ”

"Let the probe be careful as you continue to dive, approach each other slowly, and be careful not to be spotted by them at this time." At this time, Zhou Xin did not relax like Spred, but commanded in a cautious tone.

As the probe continued to dive, the originally dim light spots in the picture became brighter and brighter, and everyone's mood slowly became excited. However, this did not last long, and just when the brightness of those points of light was comparable to the brightest stars in the sky, they suddenly and rapidly dimmed without warning. Before everyone could even react, the point of light disappeared completely, and the entire screen was once again plunged into darkness.

Everything they saw on the screen initially made everyone a little overwhelmed, and even Zhou Xin was stunned for a few seconds before realizing what was happening. Then he asked aloud in surprise: "Atlas, what happened?" Why did the other party suddenly disappear? ”

"People don't know." Atlas replied blankly, "There's nothing wrong with the probes themselves, and they're certainly not detected by the attackers, which is weird." ”

"Judging from the situation in the picture just now, the detector should not be far from the location where the lights disappeared now." At this time, Spred, who only reacted later, seemed calmer, "Hurry up and let them dive down to take a look, maybe the other party is still in place, just turning off the lights." ”

"Yes, yes, Atlas, get the probe down." Zhou Xin responded at the first time.

"Well, the probe has already been given instructions."

Then, before the probes could dive to the depth where the lights were gone, they discovered a new situation.

"Brother Captain, it seems that you are close to the bottom of the sea." Atlas reported.

"Are you close to the bottom of the sea?" Zhou Xin muttered to himself in a puzzled tone, "In other words, is the location where those attackers disappeared at the bottom of the sea?" Now that they have reached the bottom of the sea, where can they disappear? ”

By this time, some of the probes had already reached the bottom of the sea, so the little girl immediately asked them to search the nearby area. However, after a period of investigation, the probe found no clues other than traces of the water surrounding the seafloor that had been disturbed. Atlas even ventured to have the probe open all the probes it carried, but nothing new than what he had found at the beginning. The attackers vanished like air.

After hearing the search results reported by Atlas, Dart was disappointed and puzzled, "They just disappeared out of thin air, how did they do this?" ”

"Maybe they're just hiding somewhere we can't find for the time being." After looking at the empty seabed in the picture and thinking for a while, Spred made his own guess, and then he said with a reassuring tone, "There's nothing to worry about, it's not that the other party won't appear again, and we'll know how they disappeared when the next attack comes." ”

"Now it seems that this is the only way to go." With a helpless tone, Zhou Xin continued.

The wait was long, and out of boredom, Atlas took control of the probe to investigate the ecology at the bottom of the trench. Although it is not a forbidden place for life like the universe, the number of life forms that can be found is only a handful. And, in order to be able to adapt to the high-pressure environment of the seabed, all organisms appear small and flat. Even due to the scarcity of food, in order to reduce their own energy consumption, most life forms choose to lie quietly on the bottom of the sea and wait for the arrival of their prey. But even so, Atlas still enjoys it like a curious baby. As soon as she found anything of interest, her startled voice would always ring in the command cabin.

"Brother Captain, Brother Captain." After hearing the little girl's call again, Zhou Xin felt a little impatient, and he pressed his head with a headache. In fact, Zhou Xin didn't want to pay attention to it now, but he couldn't answer it, because if he didn't agree, Atlas would keep screaming in his ear. There was no way, Zhou Xin had no choice but to ask helplessly: "What's the matter, what strange creatures did you find there?" ”

"This time it's not a strange creature, it's something else." The little girl shook her head with a mysterious expression, "They scanned the nearby seabed and found a very strange place. As she spoke, she showed a scan of the seabed as a whole.

The different answer made Zhou Xin slightly interested, and he looked up at the screen. Because the pattern in the picture is quite obvious, Zhou Xin found the strange place mentioned by the little girl at the first time. It was a protrusion in the shape of a crescent moon in the seabed, and according to the annotations in the picture, the length of the crescent moon was about 300 meters, and the widest point was almost 50 meters. I have to say that it is indeed a little strange to see such a regular pattern at the bottom of the trench, and Zhou Xin couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Well, brother Captain, it's a little strange." Seeing that Zhou Xin didn't react for a long time, Atlas finally couldn't help but ask.

"Well, it's a bit weird indeed." Under the call of the little girl, Zhou Xin nodded subconsciously, and then he also subconsciously asked, "Do you know the reason for the formation?" ”

"It's not clear yet." The little girl replied, "They have just received the results of the scan, and now they are preparing for the detector to investigate." ”

"Well, it's time to investigate." The familiar crescent moon shape in front of him couldn't help but remind Zhou Xin of a lot of things......
