Chapter 7 Harvesting Small Gravitational Balls

After experiencing an unprecedented diving experience, Meng Lei got his first harvest in this deep-sea survival game.

Although it was only three units of iron ore, it seemed like an extremely important step in his life for him.

Swim in the deep sea two thousand meters below sea level, wandering in the dark abyss of the unknown.

This kind of thing, he didn't even dare to think about it before.

But now, he has experienced it himself.

It's hard to express all kinds of tastes.

At the moment of returning to the submarine airlock room, Meng Lei even had the illusion of being in a different world, as if he had been reborn!

He sat on the ground weakly for a long time, until the pump emptied all the seawater in the airlock room, Meng Lei readjusted his mood, got up on the ground in a heavy diving suit, and turned back to the living cabin.

Take off your wetsuit and put it back in the cabinet.

The automatic oxygenation function is activated, and the content in the oxygen cylinder slowly rises.

Meng Lei glanced at it, it would take about five minutes to fill the oxygen cylinder, so he ignored it.

After putting away the harpoon and diving knife, Meng Lei suddenly thought.

It seems that apart from the backpack that came with the wetsuit, he has not found any storage equipment similar to a warehouse inside the submarine.

"If you just rely on the ten-compartment backpack that comes with the diving suit to store supplies, it won't take long for the backpack to be full, and there must be a warehouse in this submarine, but I haven't found it yet."

After a moment's thought, Meng Lei glanced around the living cabin.

Finally, in an inconspicuous corner next to the air bed, a storage box was found.

(Small storage bins, which can hold 30 different types of materials, each material stacks up to a maximum of 10 units, please choose your storage items carefully!) )

The box is not big and the capacity is not much.

But at this stage, a 30-compartment warehouse is more than enough to meet the storage needs.

You must know that Meng Lei finally went out of the cabin, and the harvest was only three units of iron ore.

If you want to fill all 30 storage boxes, how many times do you have to go out and collect them?!

For the vast majority of people, there may not be a chance to fill the storage box at all, and people will be cold first.

Therefore, a warehouse of thirty blocks is definitely enough for the time being.

Meng Lei returned to the cabinet, took out the three iron ore in the backpack of the diving suit, and stored them in the submarine warehouse.

However, even if you put it in a backpack, there is no risk of losing it.

But Meng Lei has always been more cautious, and thinks it is safer to store it in the warehouse.

After doing all this, Meng Lei left the living cabin and returned to the cockpit.

The three anomalies marked on the sonar display represent that the red points of light of the iron ore have disappeared, and there are only two left.

Meng Lei didn't stay in place for long, and drove directly into the submarine towards the nearest anomaly.

The time of the reclamation period is extremely precious, and it must not be easily wasted until the most basic living conditions are guaranteed.

In the process of advancing, with nothing to do, Meng Lei opened the communication channel again, wanting to see how the other players were progressing.

only to find that after a while, the communication channel was actually messily scolded!

Most of the players are complaining in various ways, denouncing the system's blind box-like setting.

Other players are deep-sea phobes, looking at the incomparably deep darkness outside the porthole, they don't dare to go out of the cabin at all, swearing and complaining.

[Zhan Lan: I'll go to his uncle, what kind of bullshit system setting is this, it's just that it doesn't give people a way to live! The first anomaly chosen by Lao Tzu is that there is a sea snake, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's sharp eyes, this would have been a long time ago! 】

[From the heart: Don't force the upstairs, I ran two abnormal points, and I picked up two units of plastic, there was nothing to do, and I was almost ambushed by a big crab! ] Have you ever seen a crab more than a meter big, a pincer is thicker than one of Lao Tzu's legs! I almost didn't scare the pee! 】

[Concorde: You've all been out of the cabin and launched? It's so dark outside, aren't you afraid? I'm driving myself crazy sitting in a submarine, you guys have so much courage! 】

[Cyclops: I have claustrophobia and deep-sea phobia, is this hell?!! 】

[Love sauce number: woo woo woo...... I don't dare to go out, it's so dark outside, I can't swim, I want to go home, I want to find my mother......]

[Gourmet: I'm so hungry, I haven't eaten for a day before the crossing, this ghost place where birds don't poop doesn't even have a bottle of mineral water, any of you have found food, can you hang the trading system to give me a little, I will definitely pay it back in the future! ] 】

……

In the communication channel, crying and scolding are intertwined.

Even if the existing players have escaped the first wave of deadly crisis, the game setting of the underworld has become the biggest obstacle in front of most players.

However, not everyone is in despair and helplessness.

Blue Star has a population of billions, and even if there are only 100,000 players in each channel area, there are only 100,000 players at most.

With such a large base, the number of elites is by no means a minority.

There are many people, like Meng Lei, who have already begun to set sail and have made different discoveries.

[Zhongzhou: Friendly reminder, about ten kilometers near the birth point, the resources and ecological environment are relatively poor, according to the navigation route planned by the automatic driving plan, the deeper you dive, the greater the probability of scanning the abnormal point, don't stay in the sea near the birth point, and head to the deep sea as soon as possible! 】

[Exploration: Don't try to float anymore, I've just confirmed that the sea water has been frozen five hundred meters above the spawn point, covered with countless cracks, and it is impossible to reach the sea surface at all, so let's honestly follow the automatic navigation. 】

[Nautilus: People who can't dive don't worry, the system has given us diving skills, this should be some kind of hard game rules, I, a landlubber, can dive, you should be able to. 】

……

Meng Lei silently peeked at the screen, and after watching it for a while, he gained a little in terms of intelligence.

Through the information provided by the Explorer, he can at least be sure that the surface of this planet is indeed covered by ice, and the thickness of the ice should not be small.

Now they are more than 2,000 meters below sea level, and after only 500 meters of floating, the water is already frozen.

Then the actual thickness of the ice must be at least more than 1,000 meters!

The rift found by the Explorer also confirms that at some point in the future, the ice in the shallow areas may collapse, and this transformation is already underway.

Although the consequences are unknown, Meng Lei feels that it is better to honestly follow the requirements of the system and arrive at the first outpost gathering place as soon as possible within seven days.

In addition, the resource distribution mentioned by Zhongzhou is also a key piece of information.

However, compared to other players, more anomalies represent more resources.

But in the same way, it also comes with a greater risk, and the chance of the alien sea monster appearing is also greater!

However, after Meng Lei silently closed the communication channel, his face was full of ease.

Being able to see the hints given by the system, unknown hidden dangers for others do not exist at all in his place.

That alone is enough to ensure his safety.

Even if he survives steadily all the way, he will inevitably become the last survivor.

Of course, now that he has obtained the system, Meng Lei's ambition is by no means more than just making a living.

In any case, he also wants to break through in this alien survival game!

The water waves, white flocculent organic matter like snowflakes drifting in the deep sea, constantly lining up on both sides of the portholes.

Meng Lei drove the submarine straight two hundred meters away, and the anomaly marked with the storage box wandered past.

Another anomaly that showed barren seagrass had gradually been distanced at this moment, and Meng Lei didn't plan to turn back to explore.

He was ready to dive into the depths as soon as possible according to the clues provided by the Zhongzhou, so as to speed up the collection of supplies.

But before that, the storage box with unknown items hidden, Meng Lei felt that it was better to put it in his pocket first, maybe there were any good things in it?

Soon, about five minutes later, the submarine arrived near the storage box.

It's an equally barren and barren sea, with a yellow-brown seabed full of fangs and claws, but no trace of life.

According to the guidance of the three-dimensional virtual map, Meng Lei slowly approached the anomaly.

The white searchlights continued to strafe in all directions, trying to find the storage boxes lurking in the reef piles.

However, after half a day, nothing was found.

In fact, the shape of this reef is too complex, growing horizontally and vertically, which is neither flat nor irregular, and it is difficult to see through at a glance.

In the end, Meng Lei firmly stopped the submarine at a distance of more than ten meters above the anomaly, and silently wrote down the location of the storage point in his heart.

Then, he walked to the airlock chamber again.

At this time, the oxygen cylinder of the diving suit had been refilled, and half an hour of oxygen supply time was enough for him to grope the nearby sea area.

The floodgates opened, and the icy waters engulfed Meng Lei again.

With the first experience, this time Meng Lei firmly stabilized his body and was not washed down by the sea.

When the water level completely submerged the airlock, he immediately swam out of the airlock chamber and dived directly towards the reef beach at the bottom of the submarine.

The bizarre reef beach environment is extremely complicated, Meng Lei turned on the light on the top of the wetsuit and searched in a large pile of rocks for a long time.

Finally, in a hidden corner, a white square storage box about 30 centimeters long and wide was found.

"Found it!"

Meng Lei was overjoyed, and he was going to put the storage box in his backpack right now, and then open it to check it when he returned to the submarine.

But at this time, he found that the white storage box could not be used as a resource, and he could only hold it by hand in the backpack that came with the wetsuit.

In desperation, he could only hold the storage box in both hands and swim back to the submarine with great difficulty.

The moment the gate of the airlock room closed, Meng Lei couldn't wait to open the box, and a milky white spherical object appeared in front of his eyes.

(Congratulations on finding a small gravitational ball that can create a small gravity trap that will be pulled by gravity when small fish get closer, greatly improving your fishing efficiency!)

However, the gravitational sphere is slightly damaged and needs to be repaired and recharged before it can be used again. )

After reading the introduction of the system, Meng Lei's eyes suddenly lit up!

"Gravitational balls?! Hey, this damn thing is a good thing! ”
