Chapter 64: Inside and Out
"Brother Captain! Brother Captain! After a few hours of silence, Atlas's excited voice rang out again in the Voyager's command cabin. The call redrew everyone's attention to the big screen.
This time, without waiting for Zhou Xin to ask, the little girl who was in a state of excitement couldn't wait to report: "Brother Captain, I found out!" Finally discovered! The probe found the wreckage of a submersible belonging to the attackers at the bottom of the sea, not far from the area of engagement between the two sides. Although it can be seen that the wreckage was severely damaged, its overall structure is still quite intact, and even the shape of the original submersible can be faintly recognized. ”
Before the little girl's words were finished, Zhou Xin and the others had already seen the picture sent back by the detector from the big screen. In the shot, an oblong object is lying abruptly on the plain of the sea, which is supposed to be empty. Obviously, this shape is not something that a creature living on the bottom of the sea can have.
Needless to say, the submersible that was discovered by the probe at this time was the one piloted by the five-man team that had survived the battle. At the same time that the probe discovered the submersible, the team leader who was maneuvering the submersible to make its way on the seabed also discovered it.
"Look, what's that?" Because the battle had just ended, and the creatures in the surrounding sea were basically either wiped out by the warring sides or fled, the moving object that suddenly appeared in the camera immediately attracted the attention of the captain.
"Never mind what it is." Mondcombe said anxiously, "Let's hurry up, this dying powertrain may fail at some point." ”
As he spoke, the object the captain saw was getting closer and closer. "Wait." At this time, the woman in the group suddenly cried out in confusion, "What do I think, that object is a bit like-"
"Sakincha's fighting equipment." The taciturn man continued.
Although they were only a few words, they were like thunder, and they suddenly set off huge waves in the hearts of the other four. After a serious look, the woman confirmed the statement, "That's right, it's Sarkincha's combat weapon. ”
After the nervousness, it was the captain who calmed down first. He immediately stopped what he was doing, and the submersible, which had just undergone a new start-up process, also stopped, sinking into the mud on the ocean floor.
"Captain, don't stop, run away." Seeing the captain's reaction, Mondcombe anxiously reminded, "If it catches up with us, it's over." ”
"Run? Do you think you can outrun them in our current state? The captain reluctantly replied, "The best option at the moment is to stop and disguise itself as a submarine rock, and then hope it doesn't spot our sea boat." ”
However, the next development of events completely shattered the only hope in the captain's heart. It didn't take long for the detector that appeared in the footage to move straight towards the location of the five people. The captain sighed as he looked at the probe's figure in the picture, and at the same time, Mondcombe began to panic, "Captain, that thing has spotted us!" Think of a way! We can't afford to fall into the hands of Satkincha, and if they catch us, the secret we've been trying to hide will be exposed! Strangely, he did not mention the safety of a few people present in his worry, but was more concerned about whether a "secret" would be exposed. Moreover, after listening to his words, several other people did not object, which showed that they also thought the same thing as Mondcombe.
"What's the solution?" The captain said in a bitter tone, "I can't escape and I can't escape, and the self-destruction device has lost its effect, so do we have any other choice now than to be caught by them?" ”
After saying that, all five of them fell silent. After a while, Mondcombe whispered, "If we had known that this would be the way we are, we might have blown ourselves up earlier, why should we run away." This was the second time he had said something similar, and unlike the last time, this time no one had opened his mouth to refute it.
"Suicide?" As Mondcombe finished speaking, two words burst out of the taciturn team's mouth with a questioning tone, as if that was the idea he had come up with. Hearing these two words, the other three team members looked at their captain with inquiring eyes.
"It's useless." The captain smiled bitterly, "Unless we can completely blow the sea boat into a pile of pieces, as long as our sea boat falls into the hands of the other party, they will be able to judge our identity based on this, not to mention the corpses of several of us inside." ”
"Is there no other way?" Pavro asked reluctantly.
The captain fell silent, and seeing the captain's reaction, the other four people in the cabin were also silent again. At this time, not far from them, the detector that found the sea boat was still continuing to approach here......
Let's look back on the Voyager, just after Atlas reported the discovery of a complete wreckage of a submersible. Although it was still a little far away, everyone's eyes did not take their eyes off the screen for a moment. Knowing that it was useless, but as the probe continued to approach, Spred reminded Atlas repeatedly, "Be careful, be careful, don't let this only clue be destroyed." ”
Looking at the wreckage of the larger and larger submersible in the picture, everyone's hearts slowly lifted. It seemed that Zhou Xin had already experienced enough difficulties before, and as compensation for them, the next development of events was unexpectedly smooth. After nearly ten minutes of progress, the probe successfully came to a place only a dozen meters away from the submersible. It was the first time they had observed the attacker's submersible at such a close distance, and not even the probe that had previously dived into the undersea hideout had come so close.
After a few close circles around the submersible that sank to the bottom of the sea like a death beast, Atlas's face showed a puzzled look, "Brother Captain, judging from the appearance, most of the scars on this submersible don't seem to be caused by our weapons. The fatal wound to its tail, in particular, looked like the result of a violent impact. ”
"It doesn't matter how it hurts." After listening to the little girl's report, Dart didn't care at all, "Anyway, that thing can't move now, and it can't even blow itself up, I only care about whether you can get it back......"
