A deep voice rang out in the short-haul communication channel.

Meng Lei's words fell, and an atmosphere of sorrow permeated, instantly enveloping the hearts of every crew member of the fleet.

Although Meng Lei's tone was stern and resolute, after so many days of getting along, everyone knew that he was not a ruthless person.

Giving such an order was also a pain in his heart!

No one can understand how painful and complicated Meng Lei's mood is at the moment.

No one knows how much courage he mustered to force himself to make such a decision.

The feeling of pushing one's teammates into the abyss, into boundless despair and death, is indescribable.

But as the commander-in-chief of the fleet, he must be ruthless in this kind of matter, and he must maintain rational judgment.

Otherwise, it is incompetent, and it is a child's play with everyone's lives!

Including Lin Ming himself, he is also deeply aware of this.

The desperate plea for help was only the last resistance he made to fate subconsciously and instinctively, the last struggle he made before despair completely enveloped him.

When Meng Lei's order reverberated through the megaphone, the moment it echoed in the command room of the bridge.

Lin Ming suddenly came to his senses, remembered Meng Lei's last explanation before launching a breakthrough, and remembered the preparations he had received.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said in a heavy and decisive tone:

"Roger!"

After a pause, he said in a deep voice with a hint of helplessness and unwillingness:

"Take care, Commander...... If I still have the chance, I will do my best to take my brothers to join you......"

"Good!"

Meng Lei responded in a deep voice.

Although he knew that this was very unlikely and that the end of Guardian One was already doomed, he was unwilling to give up all hope.

As he spoke, Guardian Yi was pushed and wrapped by the infinite strange tide, and gradually moved away into the dark depths of the distance.

On the sonar display, the outline of the submarine has disappeared, shrouded in dense anomalies.

A large number of monsters wrapped around the hull of Guardian One, disconnected from the fleet, swarming into the distance.

"Everyone, follow the established route and continue to rush!"

In the Sea Locust, Meng Lei stared at the traces of Guardian 1 on the sonar display, and was gradually overwhelmed by more and more strange tides.

His eyes were cracking, and there were bloodshot and sparkling dots of sparkle in his eyes.

The deep sorrow turned into boundless anger and madness, and the slightly green face gradually distorted, a little hysterical.

At this moment, all the members of the fleet were equally sentimental.

The fate of Guardian One reflects the outcome they may face from the side, and anyone will feel extremely desperate, depressed and panicked.

Five minutes later.

The remaining five submarines of the long-sailing fleet, under the cover of E-class transports, rushed forward for another kilometer.

At this time, the communication signal between the fleet and Escort 1 gradually weakened.

Lin Ming's desperate roar was mixed with the hoarse sound of electricity, and gradually began to become ambiguous, like a traveler who fell into the endless abyss, in the last moment of his life, let out an unwilling roar.

Gradually, the signal became weaker and weaker.

In the end, before the signal completely disappeared, Meng Lei vaguely heard Lin Ming's last words from the terrible screams in the surrounding sky.

"Commander...... Take care ......"

Guard One's communication connection was then completely disconnected.

The silhouette of the obstacle representing Guardian One and the strange tide also disappeared simultaneously at the edge of the detection range of the sonar display, and was completely hidden in the boundless darkness of the cold ocean.

Meng Lei suppressed the sorrow in his heart and led the team to continue to break through.

The surface of the Sea Locust's hull is now densely crawled with deformed monsters, and even the external camera is tightly covered, and the scene in the sea outside the cabin can no longer be seen from the porthole.

On the sonar display, the Eater of the Abyss was still two or three hundred meters away from the fleet.

It was a terrifying anomaly, like a stroll in a garden, hanging unhurriedly from the back of a fleet.

They don't get closer, they don't retreat, they don't understand what their intentions are.

Meng Lei didn't care about this terrifying abyss beast anymore, his attention was all focused on the sonar display, and he galloped at full speed towards the closest Alliance outpost to this sea area.

According to the data of the navigation markers, the nearest outpost is nearly 100 kilometers away in a straight line.

There are no less than five sea areas along the way, all of which are marked as dangerous areas infested by a large number of sea monsters on the nautical chart provided by Ning Wen before.

Meng Lei's original planned route was to avoid these dangerous sea areas by detour to ensure maximum safety.

But the current situation no longer allows him to move forward in a roundabout way according to the original plan.

He must reach the vicinity of the Alliance outpost as quickly as possible, and even if there is the slightest hope, he must fight for it with all his might!

In addition, the reason why he chose to break through from these dangerous sea areas is that he has other ideas.

Trying to distract the current sea monsters, divert the battle, and let the sea monsters fight each other, so as to reduce the pressure on the fleet and increase the chances of breaking through.

Anyway, the situation is already like this, and no matter how bad the situation is, it cannot be worse than it is now.

If you can survive in the fight between different sea monster races, it will naturally be a blessing.

On the contrary, the big deal will end up, and the result will not change in any way from the current one.

The guards had long since disappeared, and five scarred submarines passed silently through the darkness, silently with a sense of sadness and murder, frantically rushing in the flesh and blood torrent of sea monsters in the sky.

"Woo~Woo......"

A terrible scream spread, and countless shadows turned into deep sea waves, blocking the fleet's progress.

Meng Lei had been silent since the guards fell behind, following behind the increasingly damaged transport boat with his head down, and silently commanding with his actions.

The terrain of the hydrothermal wasteland is very vast, located in the middle of the 66671 channel, which is a rare sea area that has not been shrouded by the earth's crust, and the overall coverage area adds up to about 120,000 square kilometers!

Such a vast area is not entirely a flat seaplain.

Ridges, basins, and ravines are intertwined, and various landforms are interconnected, which is quite complex and changeable.

rushed all the way out for seven or eight kilometers, and more than half an hour passed.

The sea monsters that surrounded the fleet were still in pursuit, and the terrifying devourers of the abyss were peering unscrupulously in the darkness.

These aberrant monsters that suddenly emerged from the deep zone seem to have the persistence and perseverance that the shallow zone sea monsters do not have, and they have a momentum of not giving up until the fleet is brought to the table.

The only thing to be thankful for is that as the fleet continues to move away from the sea area where the space node is located, the number of strange tides that are chasing after it has gradually stabilized and has not continued to intensify.

But the total number is still very terrifying, no less than thousands!

It was only a matter of time before the long-term pursuit continued, and the fleet was completely wiped out.

At one moment, as the fleet sailed over an abandoned ore vein site, a huge ravine suddenly appeared at the end of the edge of the sonar display!

The ravines were bottomless, like a moat running across the front of the fleet, tearing the bottom of the sea and stretching endlessly.

Meng Lei frowned, observed carefully, and took out the map that Ning Wen had bought before and compared it carefully.

This is a danger zone that has been marked in red.

According to the notes, many expeditionary fleets have encountered unknown abyss-class sea monsters here, and they have escaped by luck.

Some people believe that this deep-sea canyon may be the habitat of an abyssal beast, which lies dormant here all year round, sleeps most of the time, and occasionally surfaces to feed in the nearby seas.

A vast sea area with a radius of nearly 20 kilometers may be its private hunting ground.

The map's owner's advice is to avoid this area if you don't have to, lest you be killed at the bottom of the sea.

Meng Lei put away the map, drove the Sea Locust with a firm gaze, and approached the trench at full speed.

At this time, Zhu Fei's voice sounded in the short-distance communication channel.

"Commander, the trench ahead seems to be a forbidden area marked on the map, should we bypass it?"

The nautical chart provided by Ning Wen had been copied several times by Meng Lei before.

The commander of each submarine accompanying him has the same backup in his hand, just to ensure the safety of navigation if he encounters an accident, even if someone falls behind.

Meng Lei's face was gloomy, but his eyes were extremely firm, staring at the bottomless abyss standing at the end of the sonar display, and said coldly:

"Stay in formation and keep going! Speed up! ”

Although the trench is marked as a forbidden area, it is not an opportunity for the long-distance fleet to get out of trouble.

At the beginning, the aberrant horned snake was just an ordinary sea monster, and it had its own independent territory.

When Meng Lei ventured in, before he had time to fish on a large scale, he was regarded as an intruder and was attacked by the other party's ferocious attack.

If there really is some kind of abyss-level sea monster in this trench, it will face tens of thousands of invaders from the deep zone, including even a super-large opponent that can be considered the largest in the shallow zone.

The large sea monster lurking in the abyss will most likely not sit idly by.

Once a conflict breaks out between the two sides, it will be the best chance for the long-distance fleet to escape!

The fleet galloped all the way, getting closer and closer to the location of the trench.

With the continuous improvement of sonar feedback signals, a more complete and clear canyon terrain is gradually presented on the display screen in the form of a virtual model.

This huge canyon is long and vigorous, and there is no end in sight.

If you look closely, the edges are smooth and neat, as if a giant sword has cut through the earth, forming such a large rift valley that cuts across the entire plain.

Including the Sea Locust, the transmission range of sonar signals is generally about two kilometers.

But the information fed back by the sonar can't show the bottom of this ravine, and I don't know the depth at all.

In other words, the depth of this rift valley is at least 5,000 meters below sea level!

You must know that the depth of the sea area where the fleet is currently located has reached about 3,100 meters, and if you explore two thousand meters down, you still can't reach the end of this rift.

It is unimaginable that there can be such a terrifying terrain in the shallow waters!

There is no guarantee that there will be no unknown horror creatures in it.

As the minutes ticked by, the fleet gradually came to the edge of the Great Rift Valley.

There was a disconnect in the picture presented by the sonar display, and everyone seemed to be sailing towards the infinite void, Zhou Tian was vast and ethereal.

Meng Lei held his breath and stared, and he couldn't stop feeling cold in his heart.

He was very unsettled by the rootless environment under his feet, which had nothing to do with the experience, but was entirely an instinctive psychological effect.

Besides, if something really happened in such a place, the huge pressure change caused by the rapid fall would probably squeeze all the members of the fleet into meatloaf in an instant!

No matter how strong the submarine structure is, it can't stop the infinite sea pressure that increases in an instant.

Fortunately, there was no phenomenon of this rift falling into depth, and the fleet floated smoothly in the air, wandering above the rift, as if it was floating at the edge of the universe.

It continued to charge forward for four or five hundred meters, and at first nothing unusual occurred.

Suddenly, as the fleet sailed a distance of nearly a kilometer, the sonar display faintly detected the outline of the edge at the other end of the rift.

The infinite sea monsters surrounding the fleet began to be a little restless for some reason.

Zhou Tian's dense anomalies began to run outward, rushing wildly in all directions, as if sensing some kind of threat, trying to desperately escape from this sea area.

At the same time, the Abyssal Devourer, who had been following the fleet, seemed to sense something, and suddenly sped up its wandering.

On the sonar display, the giant anomaly representing the Abyss Devourer reluctantly broke away from the ranks of the strange tide and rushed headlong towards the bottomless abyss below, giving up the pursuit of the fleet.

This sudden change made Meng Lei happy.

He had a vague guess that he should have made the right bet, in the depths of this bottomless abyss, there must be some unknown existence that attracted the attention of the Abyss Devourer.

As for what the other party was, he didn't have time to think about it at the moment.

While the sea monsters around him were fleeing one after another, and while giving up entanglement with the fleet, he immediately shouted at the short-haul communication channel:

"Now, quick! Speed up and rush through! ”

As soon as the words fell, he did not wait for the other captains to respond.

In the endless and deep darkness under his feet, an ethereal and vast roar suddenly sounded!

The sound was incomparably loud and penetrating, as if it had penetrated from another layer of space, and reverberated wildly in Zhou Tian.

At this time, at the bottom of the sonar display, at the deepest part of the trench, there was a large anomaly that Meng Lei was extremely familiar with, and it quickly floated upwards from an unknown place.

Meng Lei hurriedly looked at it, and the joy that had just emerged suddenly dissipated, his breath froze, and he cursed secretly:

"Oops!"

I saw that the golden gold finger information was distorted and shaken, and a line of text appeared.

(At a distance of 1994 meters ahead, an angry Abyss Banshee was found, and the danger level was S-class!)

Please keep the sonar silent and plug your ears immediately, otherwise the mental impact of the sound can turn you into a fool or cause serious brain damage!

This is not alarmist, please execute it immediately! ）
