"Little Brother Meng! You say, this thing is used to control ship-based batteries?! ”

"I'm going, it's so handsome!"

"Did you just use this thing to kill the first kill of the fairway?!"

"How powerful is it? Isn't it particularly energetic to fight! ”

"That's right, that's the one you mentioned in the communication channel today...... What kind of painting skin is that? What the hell is it? What does it look like? ”

"Are you really alone and cleaned a wreck?"

"And ......"

……

The boundless darkness represents absolute eternity.

The Guixu silently drove in a tortuous and dangerous submarine canyon.

In the many strange stone forests like thorns, walk through them cautiously.

This dead and quiet atmosphere should have brought people a feeling of incomparable desolation and loneliness.

But at the moment.

Meng Lei felt as if he was in the middle of the city, and his ears were filled with noise.

It was as if there were countless flies buzzing around him.

He was dizzy and couldn't help but want to run away.

Half an hour ago.

After making sure that the terrifying Abyssal Banshee left completely.

Meng Lei didn't dare to stay longer, turned on the sonar again, and sailed away from the dangerous sea area at the fastest speed.

During this period, after a short exchange.

When Huo Ye learned that the submarine he saved was actually the famous Guiru, the whole person fell into complete excitement and madness.

A middle-aged man in his forties and fifties is like a curious baby who has never seen the world.

Surrounded by Meng Lei, he kept asking questions, his eyes were full of excitement, and he looked at everything in the submarine curiously.

He already has a bit of a chatter problem, and he has been infinitely magnified during this time.

With that chirping sound, Meng Lei's brain was about to explode!

In fact, Meng Lei originally didn't intend to reveal his identity so quickly.

However, paper can't contain fire after all.

Not to mention anything else, the periscope standing above the driver's seat invisibly explains a lot of things.

Other than that.

Ammunition rack, water extractor, charging dock, simple toilet......

There is also the storage compartment in the corner of the living pod, which is two circles larger than the original warehouse.

In addition, the sonar display has a detection range of up to two kilometers.

All of this proves that this submarine is extraordinary.

As for these key facilities on the Ruins, on the submarines of other players, there can be one or two things in the sky, and the standard of living is quite high.

For example, the submarine that Huo Ye was thrown away by the Abyss Banshee before, there was not even a toilet on it!

The water extractor has just been manufactured, and it has not yet been able to fill up to 200ml.

Just compare himself to himself, Huo Ye can also be aware.

The submarine that accidentally saved himself is definitely not ordinary!

And the key reason that ultimately leads to the exposure of identity.

Or when Meng Lei was in the private chat channel, when communicating business with other fleets, the message sent by Meng Lei in the dialog box showed the word Guiru.

At this time, Huo Ye finally woke up.

It turns out that his savior is the mysterious player who keeps stirring up the entire fairway!

Since that time, Huo Ye's tuberculosis has entered an advanced stage.

He kept walking back and forth in the cockpit, babbling in Meng Lei's ear.

As soon as they met, Meng Lei realized that Huo Ye had this problem.

Therefore, he didn't bother to bother at first.

If I thought that the other party was bored, it should stop after a while.

But obviously Meng Lei underestimated Huo Ye's skill!

More than ten minutes of non-stop nagging made him faintly recall the fear of being dominated by the spirit attack of the Abyss Banshee.

At this moment, Meng Lei finally couldn't bear it anymore, slapped the center console, and shouted loudly:

"Enough! Big brother, can you stop and let me be quiet for a while! ”

The sudden outburst immediately startled Huo Ye.

At this time, Huo Ye seemed to realize his problem.

At the moment, he scratched his head a little embarrassed, and said with a smile:

"Hey...... Little Brother Meng, I'm like this, don't you mind, I'll shut up, I'll shut up, don't talk about it......"

There was a hint of apology on his face.

Huo Ye laughed dryly, retreated to the porthole, and sat on the air mattress and was silent.

Meng Lei took a deep breath, looked at Huo Ye's somewhat aggrieved look, and shook his head helplessly.

Judging from the current situation, Huo Ye has no other inferior character except for talking a little more.

Meng Lei didn't want to make the relationship too stiff, maybe he could become friends in the future.

After a slight groan, he remembered that Huo Ye had said that he hadn't eaten or drunk for a day.

Meng Lei hesitated, got up with his gun and came to the living cabin.

A plastic bottle was pounded out of the manufacturing table and two more fish were grilled.

Finally, he returned to the cockpit with a bottle full of water and grilled fish, handed it to Huo Ye, and said:

"Here, let's eat something to cushion my stomach first."

Although his tone was a little cold, Meng Lei's behavior invisibly made Huo Ye feel like a spring breeze.

What do you mean by being a good person?!

That's the good guy!

In this cruel living environment where most people are still hungry, those who can give you food and drink for no reason are either lacking in heart and eyes or living Bodhisattvas.

In Huo Ye's eyes, Meng Lei is undoubtedly the latter!

Although Huo Ye knew very well in his heart that Meng Lei definitely didn't have to worry about eating and drinking here.

After all, the reputation and strength of the Guixu are here, how can a person who sells fish wholesale on the first day of the game be short of food?

But even if Huo Ye was hungry, he was not embarrassed to open his mouth at first.

He felt that he had just been saved by someone, and before he could help anything, he opened his mouth to eat and drink again, which was really a bit unreasonable.

At the very least, they can go into the water to help each other do some work.

After you have some grades and a foundation of favors, try to ask for something to eat.

But who would have thought that before he could speak, people took the initiative to hand over the food and drink.

Such behavior simply moved Huo Ye not to want it.

Hurriedly took it with both hands and thanked him again and again.

Instinctively, be ready to babble a little more to show gratitude.

Meng Lei raised his hand decisively, strangled his thoughts directly in the cradle, and said helplessly:

"Big brother, I still have something to do, you can rest first."

After that, he didn't pay attention to the other party, turned back to the driver's seat and sat down.

Then he took out the ledger, scanned the dialog box on the central control display, and wrote it down in the notebook:

(White Bear: Winter Fleet;

The 50 mileage deposit has been paid and the 50 mileage rental has been paid.

Rental equipment: 8 underwater propulsions, 2 hand-held sonar detectors. ）

After writing.

Opening the wealth ranking and watching the ranking of the Guixu number return to the top again, Meng Lei suddenly grinned.

Yes, his first big order was finally successfully shipped.

The White Bear's Winter Fleet was the first big customer to scrape together enough for a down payment and complete the deal with Meng Lei.

With this first income coming in, the mileage points of the Guixu have now climbed to 125 points.

Overall, it's not much, but it's certainly a good start.

As the fleets continue to grow, the number of people under his command increases.

His future earnings will continue to swell like a snowball!

To put it mildly, based on 50 people per fleet, a fleet is 250 miles of rent a day.

The four fleets add up to 1000 points!

What's more, there are no less than seven or eight fleets that are interested in reaching cooperation at present.

It's perfectly foreseeable how huge the benefits will be in the future!

"The future is promising, the future is promising!"

Putting away the small ledger, Meng Lei was in a good mood.

Ran to the trading market and glanced at the shelves, and the batch of equipment that had only been on the shelves a few minutes ago would have been sold out.

It can be seen that the market demand is quite large.

Seeing that the market heat will still be fermenting, Meng Lei struck while the iron was hot, preparing to get another batch of equipment to hang up.

I got up and went back to the living pod, and made ten pieces of each of the two pieces of equipment.

At this time, he suddenly remembered.

In the list of consumables before, I have seen many skill books that can improve my abilities in all aspects.

Huo Ye himself was quite bored when he was idle there, but he could get him a skill book to read, and he could pass the time.

By the way, you can also see how effective these skill books are.

Thinking of this, Meng Lei opened the list of consumables and rummaged through them line by line.

After a while, among the many skill books, he found a "Guide to Ship Basic Maintenance".

Literally, this book should be able to match Huo Ye's profession.

If there is a chance to incorporate Huo Ye in the future, this can be regarded as cultivating his own crew in disguise.

At that moment, Meng Lei decisively spent 20 miles to buy the book.

At the same time, he bought a copy of the Captain's Guide.

Be prepared to make up for your knowledge when you're bored.

White light flashed, and two brand-new leather-covered books appeared on the production table out of thin air, and 40 miles were instantly swept away.

Now that Meng Lei has a lot of money, he doesn't blink his eyes when he spends this little money.

Back to the cockpit with the book.

At this time, Huo Ye had already finished eating two grilled fish.

Half-kneeling on the air mattress, holding an empty plastic bottle in his hand, his arms on the porthole, looking at the sea view outside the window in a daze.

Hearing the sound of the hatch, he turned his head reluctantly, smiled at Meng Lei, got up and said:

"Little Brother Meng, thank you for the grilled fish, to be honest, I have never eaten such a delicious grilled fish in my life! Thank you, thank you! ”

After a pause, Huo Ye said again:

"You see that you saved me, not to mention, but also invited me to dinner, I really don't know how to repay you.

If there's anything you can do with me, just say it! ”

From beginning to end, Huo Ye was very sincere, grateful and grateful, like an honest man.

Meng Lei saw it in his eyes, and the vigilance in his heart was constantly decreasing.

He walked up to Huo Ye, handed over the "Ship Foundation Maintenance Guide", and said:

"There's nothing we need your help with for now, our goal now is to hurry and get to the outpost as soon as possible.

You can read this book when you are bored, and it may be helpful. ”

Huo Ye took the delicate book with both hands, and subconsciously said:

"You still have a magazine on this submarine?! I'm going, it's amazing! ”

The corners of Meng Lei's mouth twitched, and he was really speechless.

These middle-aged men with five big and three thick brain circuits are really novel.

Shrugged helplessly, turned back to the driver's seat and sat down.

First hung the twenty pieces of equipment in the trading market, and then Meng Lei began to clean up the massive amount of garbage private chat information.

There is simply too much meaningless information piling up, which can seriously affect his judgment of potential quality customers.

The information provided by the Shenlong is relatively complete.

However, in the near future, other new fleets will be formed.

Therefore, in order to expand the large customer base, he can only clean up these private chats and find gold in the garbage heap.

I have to say that this workload is really huge and cumbersome.

Meng Lei didn't clear for a while, and his eyes were almost overlooked.

At this time, a new message reminder suddenly came from a recent chat list.

At first, he thought he was mistaken, but then another new message alert was sent.

The two unread messages converge into a red number 2, which looks particularly eye-catching.

Meng Lei suddenly came to his senses.

"Business coming in again?"

With a state of expectation, I hurriedly fixed my eyes.

Only then did he realize that the person who sent him the message turned out to be the Divine Dragon.

Suddenly, a small disappointment arose.

Meng Lei knew very well that with the current mileage of the Shenlong, he was definitely not looking for business now.

"Could it be that the salvage of the wreck has been completed? The efficiency of this Kyushu fleet is quite high! ”

Suspiciously muttered in his heart, Meng Lei raised his hand to open the chat box.

When I saw the two messages sent by the other party.

Meng Lei was stunned for a moment, then his face changed, and he subconsciously stood up from the chair.

“SOS？！ A distress signal?! ”

"What's going on, why did the Shenlong send me a distress signal?!"

"With the strength of the Kyushu fleet, even if you encounter danger, there is no reason why you will need my help?!"

"What the hell happened to them?"

A string of coordinate numbers.

Three simple characters.

The concise and clear, but completely confusing news, Meng Lei was in a daze when he saw it.

He was directly confused by the sudden call for help from the Shenlong.

After a little hesitation, Meng Lei replied suspiciously:

"What's going on over there? How can I help? ”

The message was successfully sent.

However.

After a long time, the Shenlong did not react.

Meng Lei swiped the screen again and sent several messages one after another, asking about the situation.

But it was still like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no response from the Shenlong.

An ominous premonition came to mind.

He vaguely realized that eighty percent of the Kyushu fleet was in big trouble!

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to lose contact with the outside world even the fleet command ships.

Then.

Huo Ye, who was reading a book with relish, saw that Meng Lei suddenly looked wrong, so he quickly put the book down, stepped forward and asked:

"Little Brother Meng, what's wrong?"

Meng Lei frowned slightly, and motioned for Huo Ye to look at the central control display.

Huo Ye scratched his head, followed Meng Lei's gaze, and looked at him suspiciously.

After learning the general situation, Huo Ye took a deep breath and said puzzledly:

"Shenlong...... I've heard that there are quite a few people from their fleet on the communication channel, and they regularly post recruitment.

Judging by the size, it should be a large fleet. ”

Huo Ye held his chin, his face was full of doubts, and he said to himself:

"It stands to reason that such a force shouldn't be in too much trouble?

And even if something happened, why would they find you to help? ”

After a pause, Huo Ye looked at Meng Lei and asked:

"Little Brother Meng, do you know the Shenlong?"

Meng Lei nodded and said in a deep voice:

"I'm not very familiar with each other, I've talked a few times, and I have made some deals in private."

Huo Ye sighed thoughtfully: "That's strange, since you don't have too deep a friendship, why would they ask you for help?" ”

"I'm also curious why they came to me......"

Taking out a cigarette case from his coat pocket, Meng Lei lit one.

Suddenly remembered something, and gave Huo Ye another one.

Huo Ye was immediately flattered, and while thanking him again and again, he took a sip fiercely.

It can be seen that this is also an old smoking gun.

The two men were smoking cigarettes in the cockpit, looking at the content of the chat dialog, both with solemn faces and silent for a while.

It's so strange that this happened.

No matter which angle he thought about it, Meng Lei didn't think that the Shenlong had a reason to ask for help from him.

The simplest point is.

If there is really any dangerous situation, even a fleet can't handle it, what is the use of going as a lone wolf?

The captain of the Shenlong doesn't think that he can top a fleet by himself, right?

That's too much to look up to him.

Although the reputation of the Guixu is unique in the whole fairway. Disturb.

But fame does not mean combat effectiveness.

A fleet of dozens of men was wiped out, and it was in vain to call him over.

It can't be that he went over to collect the body.

Therefore, the Shenlong's message for help is unreasonable.

So that Meng Lei couldn't find a reason to convince himself and set off to rescue.

What if it's a trap?

Huo Ye thought for a while, obviously considering a certain possibility, which coincided with Meng Lei's worries.

"Little Brother Meng, do you think this is the Shenlong fleet, deliberately set a trap for you?!

Trick you into going over and kill you, then rob your submarines, swallow your resources, and eat your business.

Although we can't think of all people in the worst way, after all, the environment is different.

I think we need to be careful in everything.

You said no? ”

Huo Ye's words were indeed in Meng Lei's heart.

He thinks that his heart is not dark, and all his precautions are just to make himself live better.

Although I've been chatting well with the Shenlong before.

But people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, who knows what kind of person the other party is on the other side of the screen?

There was silence for a long time, until a cigarette was finished, and Meng Lei took out another one to renew it.

Look at the chat box again.

The last message was still at the moment when he made the inquiry.

The Shenlong seemed to be really cold, and there was no movement at all.

At this time, Meng Lei suddenly moved his gaze to the coordinate point sent by the Divine Dragon.

With a slight groan, he entered the coordinates into the autopilot.

The results presented are shown.

That place was nearly sixty kilometers away from where he was now.

It's embarrassing to say that this distance is not far away, but not to say that it is close.

If you are driving on the highway, it will take less than half an hour to run over.

It can be sailed at the speed of the Guixu in the sea.

Even if it's at full speed, you have to drive for three or four hours.

This made Meng Lei suddenly feel.

The chance that this message for help is a trap is greatly reduced.

In order to set up a trap for itself, the Shenlong should not pull the entire fleet and wait in place for so long.

The point is that the captain of the Shenlong is not completely sure that he will definitely be fooled.

If you choose to die, you don't want to save it.

Then he has dozens of people in the Kyushu fleet, isn't he waiting in vain?

Briefly communicated this idea to Huo Ye.

Huo Ye thought about it and felt that it was not unreasonable.

"Little Brother Meng, you are the owner of the Guixu, you can decide."

Huo Ye patted his chest. preservation, said with a bold face:

"If you say let's go, if it's a trap, we'll fight with them!

Anyway, we have a turret in our hands, and even if we can't beat it, we can pull a few cushions on our backs when we die.

My Lao Huo's life was saved by you, even if I give it back to you, it doesn't matter! ”

Huo Ye's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, and he was a bloody man.

Meng Lei listened to it in his ears and remembered it in his heart.

For Huo Ye's impression and evaluation, he couldn't help but raise it again.

"Don't worry, it's not that exaggerated."

Meng Lei patted Huo Ye on the shoulder, turned his head to look at the sonar display, and said:

"The sonar detection range of the Guixu is two kilometers, and if the situation is not right, we can completely avoid contact with it, just turn around and leave, and it doesn't necessarily have to break out into conflict."

Huo Ye nodded and said in a deep voice:

"Also, the performance of this submarine of yours is a big cut ahead of the others.

Even if the Shenlong fleet lays an ambush in advance, it may not be able to keep you. ”

After speaking, Huo Ye looked up at Meng Lei:

"Little Brother Meng, what do you mean...... Let's take a look? ”

"Hmm."

Meng Lei nodded and affirmed:

"It's not too far away, just go over and take a look, in case they are really in danger, they can help, and by the way, they can also give us a wake-up call, so that we can understand in advance some crises that even the fleet can't solve."

"Okay, let's go!"

The two discussed.

In the end, it was decided to stop moving forward for the time being and give a helping hand to the Divine Dragon.

Follow the coordinates provided by the Shenlong.

The submarine automatic navigation terminal has re-planned an optimal route.

Then the Guixu turned its bow and turned the corner and headed in the other direction.

The vast alien ocean, the area is boundless and vast.

The route traveled by the Guixu was just the closest route planned by the autopilot terminal to the outpost gathering place.

Meng Lei was in a hurry, so he never ran around in the sea.

In fact.

In the depths of this vast ocean, there are so many places to explore and too many resources to be tapped.

It is possible to navigate the route that has been planned, which happens to be a barren belt.

There are only reefs and sediment along the way, and there are very few resources.

But perhaps give up navigation and take a drive around the surrounding waters to discover a large number of fertile areas.

Meng Lei also realized this for the first time.

After deviating from the original navigation route, the next few hours.

Meng Lei and Huo Ye have seen more different scenery.

There are coral trees and seaweeds, and there is an abyssal canyon that looks like a primeval forest.

There are also schools of glowing fish soaring, and large jellyfish and octopuses crisscross the submarine plains.

During this time, they even passed by an undersea volcano.

For the first time, I saw this extremely rare natural light source in the depths of the ocean.

All kinds of fantastic and magnificent scenes are presented in front of them, and the two of them are not lonely after a few hours of sailing.

In addition, due to the fear that it will drag on for too long, it will cause other accidents.

Along the way, Meng Lei didn't bother to collect many resource points encountered along the way.

Fortunately, none of these resources are particularly rare.

Rare items like energy mines have not been found.

As a result, the vast sea area is nearly 60 kilometers.

During the full speed of the Guixu, it quickly crossed over.

It was past eight o'clock in the evening.

After a brief dinner, Meng Lei and the others finally arrived near the coordinate point where the Shenlong was finally sent.

During this time, the Shenlong remained silent.

This made it difficult for Meng Lei not to wonder if the Shenlong had sunk.

Huo Ye also came over to take a look at the communication situation when he was fine, and the performance of the Shenlong was really worrying.

"I said, Little Brother Meng, we won't run in vain, right?"

Huo Ye looked worriedly at the dead darkness outside the porthole, and said in a deep voice:

"After working for more than 50 kilometers in one go, if you just come to collect the body, it will be a bit too much of a loss."

Meng Lei took a deep breath, shook his head and said:

"If it's just collecting corpses, I'm not too worried, I'm afraid that the things that caused the destruction of the Shenlong fleet are still around here.

If that's the case, then we won't collect the corpses, but bury them! ”

Hearing this, Huo Yemeng turned around and walked to Meng Lei's side, and suddenly said:

"Hey~ That's what I said, I didn't expect this possibility before, so let's be more careful."

As he spoke, the Guixu continued to move forward, steadily shortening the distance.

Meng Lei stopped talking, staring intently at the sonar display, for fear of missing any potential threats.

As it approaches.

When the navigation system shows that the distance from the coordinate point of Shenlong is about to approach the critical point of the two-kilometer range.

Meng Lei held his breath, sat up straight, and stared at the screen motionlessly.

Finally.

The sonar detector's scans extend into the distance in the dark, and then bring back a series of data feeds.

Finally calculated.

Presented on the three-dimensional virtual topographic map, it is an extremely strange picture.

The first thing that catches your eye is a large orange-red anomaly.

is similar to the shipwreck of the Ceres that Meng Lei has seen before, and the appearance reflected is generally the same.

After an experience of the Ceres, Meng Lei naturally realized that this should be the wreck salvaged by the Shenlong fleet at that time.

And where has Huo Ye on the side seen such a thing as a shipwreck.

The first time I saw such a huge and mysterious anomaly, I was shocked on the spot.

"I'll go! What the hell is this?! Why is it so big, it can't be some kind of big sea monster?! The Shenlong fleet just let this thing go away? ”

Meng Lei shook his head, signaling him to be quiet, and at the same time explained:

"This is a shipwreck, and they were preparing to start salvaging the Shenlong before my last effective call with the Dragon."

Hearing this, Huo Ye still felt incredible, and was about to say something more.

Meng Lei suddenly raised his hand and motioned for him to be silent.

This time.

With the continuous feedback of obstacle signals, the picture presented on the 3D topographic map becomes clearer and clearer.

It can be seen around this huge wreck.

On the uneven seabed, oval-shaped objects are scattered everywhere.

Judging from the outline, it is clearly exactly the same as the player's original wastelandboat!

More than a dozen submarines were scattered around.

Just like a major shipwreck, it sank to the bottom of the sea in a messy way, causing infinite suspicion.

Other than that.

Above the wreck, seven or eight more submarines were quietly levitating.

There was no sound, no movement.

It was as if time had stood still for eternity, and everything was frozen.

And one of the submarines.

In fact, faintly, there are also red spots of light that only abnormal points can show.

A purple halo swirled around it, making it look very evil.

Such a picture is really weird.

It's impossible to imagine what had happened here before.

"This ...... Something seems wrong! ”

"On that submarine, how can there be anomalies? This shouldn't be! ”

Huo Ye took a deep breath and immediately frowned, his eyes were uncertain.

He just wanted to turn around and pat Meng Lei and ask for Meng Lei's opinion.

I turned my head and found out.

At this moment.

Meng Lei's face was unprecedentedly solemn, and there was a thick shock in his eyes!

Yes.

When his gaze was fixed on that strange oval anomaly.

The introduction of the hint given by the golden finger in an instant made Meng Lei realize the seriousness of this matter.

Meantime.

He also finally knew what had happened to the Shenlong fleet.

(At a distance of 1,832 meters, an alien relic in an exposed state was discovered!) Please contain it as soon as possible! Please contain it as soon as possible! Please contain it as soon as possible! ）

(The source of this relic is unknown, the level of contamination is average, and it is likely to be from a small alien ruin.) ）

(When alien relics are exposed to the air, depending on the type of relic, it will cause different effects of pollution, and seawater can block the pollution effect to a certain extent, but it cannot completely eliminate it.) ）

(The only way to stop the contamination from spreading is to put it in a relic containment box!) ）

(The relic belongs to the category of Psychic Contamination, and if exposed to it, it will cause severe mental effects on living beings.) ）

(Close contact can also cause great mental trauma, ranging from coma to mental illness at worst, which is difficult to cure!) ）

(The alien relic is an unknown product left on this planet by an ancient alien civilization, and the Alliance's scientific research base has studied it a lot, but has never been able to solve its mystery.) ）

(Rumor has it that in the deepest part of the abyss, a scientific advance team has brought back relevant clues.) ）
