Chapter 58: Growing in the Dark

It has to be said that although it took a lot of materials to make the charging dock.

But it's really worth the money.

Only ten minutes passed, and the hand-held thruster and sonar detector were directly charged from zero to full.

But at the cost of the submarine's energy reserves, which instantly fell by two percentage points.

Two percent of energy consumption, which doesn't seem like much.

The salvage of wreckable ships is often protracted.

After running a few times repeatedly, it adds up to a lot, and you will slowly find that this power consumption is really a bit unbearable for ordinary people.

Through this incident, Meng Lei also became more deeply aware of the importance of energy reserves for submarines.

Drinking water and breathing consumes energy, and killing monsters and firing also consumes energy.

If you want to move bricks safely and steadily, you must also rely on energy as the cornerstone to provide a strong guarantee.

As long as it's underwater, everything is inseparable from energy.

This invisibly made Meng Lei feel a sense of urgency.

Once you've licked the wreck, it's time to find a place to brush up on a few waves of mileage points.

Everything is ready and the wetsuit has already been oxygenated.

To be on the safe side, Meng Lei made two more grenades, as well as a box of shotgun bullets.

There is also a certain number of lighting tools.

Until the rare resources in the warehouse are completely spent.

He's just getting ready to go.

With the thruster in his hand and a mini sonar detector pinned to his waist, he opened the hatch again and leaped out of the airlock.

The huge silhouette of the wreck turned into a deep shadow in front of you.

That huge sense of oppression, Meng Lei was numb.

This third time in the water, he is full of confidence.

The propeller holding the thruster rotated wildly, like a small submarine, carrying Meng Lei all the way to the sunken ship.

It's so fast, it's just smacking!

It took Meng Lei half a minute to swim on his own, and it only took ten seconds to hold the thruster in his hand before he easily crossed it.

It was like a person who was used to walking and suddenly got on a motorcycle.

The visual impact of the speed increase makes people feel both nervous and exciting.

Approaching the entrance of the third deck, Meng Lei slowed down.

At this time, he turned on the hand-held sonar detector hanging from his waist.

A faint glimmer emerges.

A scaled-down sonar display projected a palm-sized three-dimensional image, presented on the oblique side of Meng Lei.

Although it was clearer to see in his hand, for convenience, Meng Lei still hung it on his waist.

The graphics can also be adjusted, at most just a few more glances.

All the way down, there were no surprises in the three-story area.

The radiation range of the hand-held sonar detector is about 100 to 120 meters.

It's not very wide, but it's enough to cover the entire shipwreck.

However, it is only for the terrain of this layer of the current area, and there are accurate calculations.

The signals above and below are noticeably weakened and do not reflect the complete structure of the building.

But even so, it's quite powerful.

Stand not far from the entrance of the passage on the third floor.

Meng Lei was even able to pass through the obstacle feedback and found the corpses of several crew members who ran out of the restaurant and walked around the corner.

In the empty passageway, several humanoid patterns fluttered slowly.

At first glance, it couldn't be more obvious.

It can be seen that the kind of painted skin parasite is even more deeply hidden.

This time, there will be nothing to hide!

Meng Lei didn't waste time, and after entering the ship, he swam directly towards the hatch leading to the fourth-floor area.

When passing by the restaurant, those old men who couldn't bear the loneliness and ran out for a walk.

was respectfully pushed back by Meng Lei, holding his head.

These young people also have nearly 100-year-old crew corpses, and it is easy to affect his judgment if they are left outside.

They were all humanoids as well, in case any of the Painted Skin Monsters escaped from the fourth floor and blended in with them.

If you don't notice it for a while, it's a big problem.

After placing these lonely old men as quickly as possible, Meng Lei held the thruster in his hand and came to the entrance of the fourth floor with a smoke.

Before leaving just now, the painted skin parasite he vaguely saw was not hunted down at the moment, and was still hiding in a dark unknown corner.

Meng Lei flung a lighting stick and went in, stayed at the door and watched carefully for a moment.

Until the sonar detector completely reflects the structure and terrain of most of the four layers.

Make sure that near the entrance, there are no Paintskin Monsters lurking.

Meng Lei took a deep breath and plunged in.

The darkness that had been deposited for a long time struck again, as if stepping into another dimension.

Meng Lei put the thruster back into his backpack and carefully clenched the shotgun in his hand.

The terrifying shape of the skin parasite in his mind haunted him.

However, after a kill, he didn't feel too scared.

People will always grow slowly and unconsciously with the enrichment of experience and experience.

Meng Lei is just an ordinary person in his early twenties, and it is impossible for him to directly ignore the impact of fear on himself after experiencing an incident.

Everything needs to be gradual.

The more you experience, the less affected the negative emotions become.

One day, he will be able to adapt completely.

Now.

The sonar detector can be clearly distinguished by the pattern presented.

In the corner outside a workshop in front of Meng Lei, there was a humanoid obstacle with a strange posture, slowly approaching his location with the continuous feedback of sonar signals.

Also, deeper in the area of the fourth floor.

There are likewise seven or eight not-so-normal obstacles, scattered separately in various corners of the darkness.

However, these obstacles show no signs of moving.

Perhaps it was because their range of perception was limited and they were not aware of Meng Lei's existence.

This also facilitated the development of Meng Lei's purging work, and he could break them down one by one.

At the moment, while the painting skin monster closest to him has not completely transformed into an offensive posture.

Meng Lei threw the light stick on the other party's path to provide continuous illumination.

Then he turned and ducked to the other side of the road.

Minutes and seconds passed.

Meng Lei was very patient and quite calm.

He didn't rush to make a move, his eyes were fixed on the image projected by the sonar display in his waist.

Quietly looking at the strange figure, slowly wandering in the direction where he was.

Through a short observation, Meng Lei discovered.

The Painted Skin Parasite is not very fast until it fully locks on to its target, not as fast as a normal person walking.

It was a world away from the speed it had previously exhibited in the engineering module.

This made Meng Lei insist on his judgment even more, this thing really belongs to the deep-sea zombies.

It is only when the prey is exposed that it becomes bloodthirsty and berserk.

A certain moment.

The 3D sonar image shows the skin parasite in front of it turning around the corner of the tunnel.

Meng Lei quietly tilted his head to look.

Under the bright light of the light rod, the familiar figure of the terrifying creature was reflected.

Meng Lei took a deep breath and involuntarily clenched the shotgun in his hand.

Then he raised the muzzle of his gun and quietly aimed in the direction of the monster.

This time, Meng Lei's hands did not tremble anymore, firm and steady.

When the figure in the distance got closer and closer, the terrifying and hideous face appeared more and more clearly in front of him.

Without waiting for the fear to breed and spread, Meng Lei calmly confronted the source of fear.

His eyes lit up, and he pulled the trigger fiercely!

"Bang!"

A dull popping sound rose in the dead darkness.

With countless dense marbles, accompanied by bubbles bursting out.

Caught off guard, the painted skin parasite that was searching for the target in a daze flew backwards in response!

The rotting wetsuit was torn in an instant, and the twisted tentacles were broken into countless pieces.

A puddle of foul blood bloomed in the passage, and the monster's entire chest was unrecognizable, and it was beaten with a shocking wound!

However, it seems that zombies have to be headshots.

Even with such severe injuries, the painted skin parasite did not die immediately.

The terrifying mouth opened in an instant, and let out a piercing scream!

The broken little half of the body writhed wildly in the water, spilling out a large amount of blood, still trying to kill Meng Lei.

Meng Lei calmed down, a trace of ruthlessness and hideousness flashed in his eyes, and he flashed out directly from behind the cover.

Stepping forward, the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the monster's head, and the trigger was pulled again.

"Bang!"

Gunshots rang out.

In the next moment, the whole world returns to tranquility......
