Chapter 4: Crisis is coming

Meng Lei clearly remembers that after he finished naming the submarine.

The system gives a series of prompts, which are clearly indicated.

The submarine's built-in sonar detection system can scan for potential anomalies in the vicinity, which are key to gathering supplies.

It may be ordinary mineral and plant resources, it may also be a shipwreck, and there is a chance that there is a treasure buried.

In the same way, it could be a sleeping alien kraken!

Everything is unknown!

Therefore, Meng Lei had some complaints about this setting at first, thinking that it was similar to opening a blind box.

can think of the golden finger that he can see the system prompt, Meng Lei's heart can't stop beating wildly!

If his golden finger can even give a hint of these anomalies, then there is no doubt about it.

In this deep-sea survival game, his advantage will be far ahead of everyone else!

Just imagine when the others are still in the dark and endless deep sea, only to explore carefully, for fear that there is some kind of sea monster lurking in the anomaly.

He directly opened the whole picture as if he was hanging, and he could gallop and loot unscrupulously!

Not only the speed of resource collection, but also countless times ahead of others.

At the same time, the probability of danger he encounters will be greatly reduced!

In this comparison, the gap is obvious.

At that moment, Meng Lei took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the tremor in his heart.

In order to verify his guess, he hurriedly turned back to the cockpit of the submarine, and on the right side of the central console, he found the submarine's sonar detection system.

It is a set of precision instruments that are independent of the central console and occupy only a small area of the cockpit.

Tap it lightly, and a black profile message appears.

[Sonar detection system (primary), current maximum detection range: 500 meters]

(In the infinite darkness of the deep sea, the sonar system is the eyes and ears of the submarine, which is the basic tool for you to be able to understand the outside world extensively, and upgrading the sonar system as soon as possible can help you collect supplies more conveniently and avoid potential dangers in the dark in advance!) )

"The detection range of 500 meters is a drop in the ocean for the vast ocean!"

"But at this stage, it should be enough."

Meng Lei complained again.

Then, he decisively turned on the sonar system.

The next moment, the picture on the sonar display changed in an instant.

A huge three-dimensional map was reflected in front of him out of thin air.

Among them, the Guixu is located in the middle.

Obvious sound waves centered on the Guiru, radiating outward in a perfect circle.

Through the feedback information, a virtual topographic map of the nearby sea area is presented on the screen.

A map simulated on the screen.

It can be roughly concluded that the Guixu is currently in a zone near the bottom of the sea.

At a depth of about 100 meters below, there is a flat and vast seabed, but it is covered with various huge fissures.

In all directions, there is a completely infinite vacuum, and there is no edge to explore, and the sonar radar cannot receive any feedback signals about terrain obstacles.

As the sonar feedback signal continued to feedback, there were six faint red light spots, which gradually appeared on the map label.

"This must be the so-called anomaly, right?"

Meng Lei pondered secretly.

"It seems that my luck is not bad, there are six anomalies near the spawn point, but I don't know what these anomalies are hidden in......"

As soon as he thought of this, Meng Lei immediately concentrated his mind and focused his gaze on one of the red points of light.

The next moment, a magical scene happened.

Below the red anomaly, distorted pale gold text appeared out of thin air, gradually condensing into a text message.

(360 meters away, there is a barren iron ore here, although the amount is not much, but for you in the wasteland period, it is a lot of wealth!) )

"Sure enough!"

The moment he saw this line of pale golden text, Meng Lei suddenly held his breath, and his heart couldn't stop beating wildly!

Indeed, as he expected, the pale gold system prompt can not only see the details of the items and equipment around him, but also the abnormal point information detected by the sonar system, which can also give corresponding prompts!

Suppressing the excitement and heat in his heart, his gaze moved slightly, and Meng Lei looked at several other anomalies again.

(At 420 meters away, there's a patch of fluorescent grass, and if you look closely, you might even spot the nest of deep-sea pike crabs, so grab a speargun and a diving knife and you'll have your first dinner.) )

(At a distance of 498 meters, there is a barren copper mine here, don't care about its quantity, add up to a lot, and one day you will achieve your own monument!) )

(430 meters away, there is a juvenile deep-sea worm waiting to feed, don't worry about going up and do it, its nearly five meters of intestines will be your home forever!) )

……

As Meng Lei's gaze moved, a different system prompt would appear below each red anomaly.

The pale gold system prompt seems to have independent thinking.

It's as if there is an invisible outsider, constantly adding various notes to Meng Lei according to his own point of view.

That feeling is very weird, with the dim environment in the submarine, there is a faint hint of horror!

However, at this time, Meng Lei didn't have the heart to care so much.

There is no doubt that the pale gold system hint that is completely contrary to the game mechanics must be his golden finger.

And this golden finger, which just looked a little chicken, seems to be too perverted at this moment!

"Hoo ......"

Meng Lei let out a long breath, staring at the deep and endless darkness outside the porthole, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

With this golden finger, as long as he doesn't die himself, this dangerous alien survival journey is only afraid of any threat to him.

It's just that Meng Lei, who has always been cautious, quickly converged on the joy of gaining the system and readjusted his mentality.

He knew very well that in this vast and boundless alien abyss, there were some hidden potential threats that the system might not see.

Therefore, under no circumstances should it be taken lightly.

Sitting on the leather seat in the cockpit, Meng Lei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he compiled a series of information collected so far in his mind.

Then, he began to prepare and conceive the next plan for land reclamation.

The game is similar to the construction of submarines, and now that he knows about it, it's time to set sail.

But at this moment, there was a slight tremor from the central console, and the list of regional communication channels on the display screen burst out with a dazzling red light at the same time.

Suddenly, the entire cockpit was shrouded in the scarlet light, and the atmosphere was extremely tense and eerie.

"Holy, what's going on?"

Meng Lei's heart jumped, and he was a little confused, so he hurriedly clicked on the communication channel to see what was going on.

And the moment he opened the communication channel, he immediately saw the upper left corner of the list, which represented the number of people active in the area, which had plummeted from 100,000/100,000 to 99,456/100,000!

It doesn't take much thought to know that the number that has been subtracted must represent the player who has died!

"What the hell is going on? In just a while, hundreds of people are out?! ”

Meng Lei was shocked, and inexplicably felt a strong crisis!

He hurried to check the chat in the channel, hoping to get something useful out of it.

It doesn't matter if he looks at it, he found that in the communication channel where the chat just now was still varied, a large number of cries for help sounded at this moment!

[Phuket Island: Government! Government! Come and save me! Something seems to be screaming outside my submarine, it's so loud, it's terrifying! 】

[Pioneer: Damn, what's the situation, Lao Tzu's submarine seems to have been hit by something just now, and now the decompression system has begun to alarm! 】

[Deep Blue: Me too, something in the sea is coming, they seem to be scratching my submarine hull outside, help!] 】

[Giant: Sea Monster!] There's a sea monster! It was so big that it swam past me, and with just one tentacle, it was bigger than my submarine, and it couldn't see the whole picture clearly, and it almost overturned me with a boat! 】

[Shadow Number: I. , really, there really are sea monsters! There are too many, there are too many of them, there are red dots all over the sonar image, they are closing in on me, what the hell is this! Mommy save me! 】

[Touching the Fish: Comrades, I'm going to go first, my submarine hull has been torn apart by monsters, the water level of the living compartment has reached sixty percent, and the sea water will soon flood the cockpit! Ladies and gentlemen, let's ...... Gurlum Gurgling ......】

[Black Pearl: Calm down, it's time for novice protection, and the game uses this threat mechanism to force us to set sail as soon as possible! Don't stop at the spawn point, let's go! 】

……

Looking at the distress messages in the communication channel, Meng Lei gradually frowned.

The joy of getting the golden finger was diluted, and his heart slowly became heavy.

Although at the moment, there are no other people's so-called sea monsters in his area, it is clear that this phenomenon is not unique!

It can also be seen from this point that this deep-sea survival game does not seem to have any novice protection mechanism at all!

It's only been a few minutes since the beginning, and most people haven't even figured out how to operate and construct submarines, but the crisis has begun to creep in without warning.

Many people have been attacked by unknown creatures at this stage, and the difficulty of survival is simply frenzied!

After a little groaning, Meng Lei didn't dare to delay any longer.

Perhaps, as the Black Pearl judged, the short period of novice protection has passed, and the threat mechanism has come into effect.

Don't look at the calm around him now, but maybe at any time, a deadly crisis will envelop him.

At that time, even if there is a system, it will inevitably end up in the belly of the fish!

After all, driving such a broken desolate ship, without even a shipboard weapon, if you really want to encounter a sea monster, you don't have any ability to resist at all.

Meng Lei immediately decided to set sail immediately and leave the area of the spawn point first!
