"Shall we go down now?"

On the elevated shelf, Liang Wanting clenched the bow and arrow in her hand and spoke.

Chen Xiao shook his head, pointed to the dock that stretched for two or three kilometers on the opposite side and said, "It's useless for us to go down now, and when that guy appears, we'll make a move." ”

As he spoke, Chen Xiao had already opened his attribute panel, and then replaced the black iron helmet and power ring that had just burst out for himself.

Black Iron Helmet: +3 Constitution, +3 Spirit

The attribute has increased again, Chen Xiao slowly moved his hands and feet, adapted to the further improved strength, and felt the surging power in his body.

At this moment, his strength is also more than fifty, although compared to the sixty times the strength of Xiao Lori, this strength is not very high, but it is already very strong.

"Wanting, wait a minute, you take care of Xiao Ai, she has just awakened, and her strength is not very strong." pulled Xiao Ai and said to Liang Wanting.

"Okay." Liang Wanting nodded, covering Xiao Ai behind her.

It's just that the red-haired little Lori didn't seem to appreciate it, straightened her towering chest, and said: "I also have to fight, Xiao Aike is a very powerful magician, and he will definitely not embarrass his big brother." ”

"But you can't help you now, I'll talk about it later." Chen Xiao shook his head without hesitation, directly rejected Xiao Ai's idea of wanting to charge into battle, and continued: "Unless you can stay by Wanting's side all the time and support from a distance. ”

The red-haired little Lori nodded with a lonely face, hung her head and pouted, "Xiao Ai listens to my brother." ”

"That's good." Chen Xiao touched Xiao Lori's head and comforted: "I believe that Xiao Ai will be very powerful in the future." ”

The red-haired little Lori raised her head and nodded very seriously, her little fists clenched tightly.

At the same time, on the Dongdu Wharf, six or seven small drones have searched the entire corner of the wharf, and still have not found anything strange, which makes the surrounding soldiers more and more nervous.

A sniper, silently disappearing, is a huge psychological pressure for each of them, after all, the unknown enemy hidden in the dark is the most terrifying.

After the search was fruitless, a truck drove into the dock, and under the escort of soldiers, several sappers quickly pulled out five or six two-kilowatt white lights from the back of the truck.

Ten minutes later, the entire Dongdu wharf was illuminated as if it were daylight, and two helicopter gunships began to participate in a new round of search work.

None of the detection equipment can find the hidden unknown creatures, and they can only rely on the naked eye to find them.

And in order not to affect the task, the shipment of containers began close to the exit of the port.

A full hour had passed, and dozens of containers had been shipped out, but the entire dock was still very calm, and it was as if the previous mysterious attackers had disappeared.

Chen Xiao and the four of them also stood patiently on the elevated highway all the time, their eyes carefully passing through every corner of the wharf.

It's just that this patience is beginning to slowly disappear as time goes by, just when Chen Xiao feels a little impatient.

There was a faint sound of winding in his ears, and a very soft whimper.

"Something's wrong." Chen Xiao's gaze immediately shifted to a bulk cargo crane near the sea, and a sniper who was originally hiding there had disappeared.

Without saying a word, he jumped off the elevated highway as soon as possible, Xiao Ru followed closely behind, and Liang Wanting and Xiao Ai also jumped off the elevated road.

At this moment, Chen Xiao had jumped directly from the outer wall of the wharf, stood on the container, and came to the seaside crane that had just made a sound.

On the operating platform of the crane's cab, the original sniper was gone, leaving only a sniper rifle that had fallen to the ground, and a mat paved with combat uniforms, on which there was not the slightest trace of blood, but a faint trace of water.

And his sudden appearance and strange behavior also attracted the attention of every soldier around him for the first time, and before they could wonder who these people were, they all saw that the sniper who was originally on this side had disappeared inexplicably.

At this time, Long Yan, who had been on guard all around, also ran over as soon as possible, jumped lightly, easily jumped on the seventeen or eighteen-meter-high crane, stood behind Chen Xiao, and asked, "Mr. Chen, have you found anything?" ”

Chen Xiao shook his head, squatted down and lightly dipped his fingers in a little water stain on it, put it next to his nose, and then said: "This is seawater, it seems that the attacker is not in this container, but ......"

Speaking of this, Chen Xiao pointed to the calm sea under his feet and said, "Under our feet." ”

Long Yan also learned from Chen Xiao to dip a little water stain, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and said: "No wonder I searched so many times, but I didn't find any clues, and my feelings locked on the wrong target from the beginning." ”

Speaking of this, Long Yan was about to ask Chen Xiao if he hadn't found out yet, but when he saw Chen Xiao at this moment, his face became extremely heavy, and the smile that was always on his face also disappeared and was replaced by melancholy.

All along, Chen Xiao always had a lingering sense of crisis in his heart, and this sense of crisis did not come from the big banyan tree and the phantom spider, but he couldn't figure out where it came from.

When he talked about the sea at his feet, he suddenly realized that the dark cloud that had been indelible in his heart all along, the source was the large sea that surrounded Heron Island.

The sea has brought rich maritime trade to Egret Island, and the main economy of Egret Island is from the sea, and the economy is not supported by the creatures of the sea, but by the huge trade.

In addition, Egret Island has always been able to protect marine life, and there is a strict fishing ban every year.

But now for the people on Egret Island, this sea is the most unknown world, because the marine world occupies 70% of the world, and the number of species in the ocean is also incalculable, and the creatures on land have evolved and mutated.

It may no longer be doubtful whether the countless creatures in the vast expanse of the sea that feed all mankind have also evolved and mutated.

The reason why Chen Xiao's face changed drastically was also officially because of this.

The sea, which had been calm for more than ten days, was now slowly showing its fangs, and the disappearance of the soldiers was the best manifestation of this.

"What's wrong with you?" Long Yan asked.

"Once again, I feel the difficulty of trying to survive in the future." Chen Xiao couldn't hide the thoughts in her heart and replied.

"What is this, many people don't have tomorrow, I just know that we can do our best to obey the destiny of heaven, at least now we can still breathe the air of this world." Long Yan didn't know what Chen Xiao was thinking, and thought that the other party just hadn't adapted to the current life, so he comforted.

"I just hope that there is a future for mankind!" Chen Xiao shook his head, and didn't explain anything, some things don't need to be explained, because everyone will understand later.

"As long as we are united, there will definitely be a future, I firmly believe in it." Long Yan clenched his fists and said extremely seriously.

Chen Xiao patted Long Yan on the shoulder and said, "Turn aside the ordinary soldiers who are close to the sea, and then I want to see the image of the seabed." ”

"Okay." Long Yan nodded, and the soldiers who gathered over soon were all transferred, and then Long Yan also came over with a small box.

In front of Chen Xiao, the small box was opened, and there was a microcomputer inside, and a small diving robot, and at the tail of the robot, there was a small line connected to the microcomputer.

Soon, Long Yan threw the diving robot from the shore into the sea, and then controlled the diving robot to dive through a microcomputer.

Immediately, the underwater picture appeared on the microcomputer, but unfortunately the high-definition camera and lighting system on the head of the robot could only show the screen about half a meter in front of it.

But this is enough, after diving for almost six meters, the diving robot immediately made a discovery, on the support pillar of the dock deep into the seabed, the tentacle-like roots of seabed plants are densely climbing on the support column, which should be filled with a large number of shells and marine life, and at this moment can only see a large area of emerald green.

Continue to dive along this piece of verdant green, and when the diving robot comes to a place about ten meters under the sea, it will immediately have an unexpected harvest.

A corpse was slowly surrounded by a large number of emerald green roots, and the military uniform on the body appeared very clearly through the robot's camera on the microcomputer monitor.
