Black Dragon Code

Mino adjusted the power output to the limit, the spare mana core provided energy to the propeller at maximum power, the airtight cabin discharged the sea water, and the "jellyfish" rose rapidly. Smooth, the airflow through the valve makes a slight whining sound, the pointer in the instrument panel is beating, and all the values ​​are within a reasonable range.

There is no doubt that this is indeed a sophisticated deep-diving machine.

However, the underwater vibration caused by detonating the armored whale has brought about a chain reaction. Sea water is an excellent sound conductor, and the loss of sound wave transmission is smaller than that in air, so that deeper and farther sea people can find this target.

Soon, a large number of schools of fish followed the sound and followed the sound.

"Damn it." Mino stared closely at the console displaying various working conditions, and suddenly cursed: "Mysuo... there are spell casters among these damn sea monsters."

As a student who has successfully graduated from the Imperial Military Academy, even ordinary people are required to have the knowledge and ability to distinguish magic. When the jellyfish a-13 lost its direction and the horizontal axis could not be calibrated, Mino immediately sensed that something was wrong. to escape.

But it was still a step too late. At a depth of 800 meters, the deep submersible could no longer float up. A spellcaster built a magic lock to seal off the sea area, blocking his way.

"A spellcaster has been found among the Sea Clan. The sea area above A-13 has been blocked. Please check with the headquarters."

He reported that, keeping his eyes on the shoals of fish that were fast approaching in the monitoring device, it seemed that the seafolk were cooperating and seeing themselves as inevitable prey.

Mino gritted his teeth. He knew very well that the only way to die was to wait for death. He had no time to wait for the response from the headquarters. He simply decided to give it a go. Instead of trying to float up, he manipulated the deep submersible and began to sink rapidly.

——The oxygen supply tank is enchanted equipment, which contains far more oxygen than imagined, and can support his underwater activities for a long time. If he can sink to the bottom of the sea to avoid the sight of the sea people, and then float up after the fleet is cleaned, maybe There is still a chance of survival.

The feeling of overweight floating up suddenly disappeared, followed by the feeling of weightlessness. The jellyfish a-13 was falling to the bottom of the sea, and the depth gauge rose rapidly. It made him die directly. Only legendary fighters can survive in this environment.

"Jellyfish a-13, the Shuofeng is trying to unlock the maze, and it is expected to complete the cracking in a minute. Please prepare to return." At this time, the voice of the correspondent in the channel was long overdue.

"I'm sinking to hide from the sea tribe." Mino reported: "If all goes well, I hope to return after the cleaning is completed.

"

There was silence on the other end of the communicator. Obviously, the headquarters also understood the current situation of A-13. After a pause, the channel gave a response: "Got it, Shuofeng will drop ten thunderfish to assist you, keep in touch."

"Thunderfish" is an underwater precision-guided weapon. Its prototype is the self-explosive puppet fish of the Southern Unfalling Empire. Its remote control timing and fixed-point detonation feature won the favor of Caesar, so after the painstaking research of the Black Wing Weapons Research Institute, After repeated improvements, the goblins added more industrial attributes to it, making it more suitable for mass production, and renamed it "Thunderfish". Today, this weapon has been equipped with the Imperial Navy fleet on a large scale, and the sailors call it the "Shadow Killer" , to describe it is small, flexible and powerful.

"Understood." Hearing the arrangement of the headquarters, Mino felt more at ease.

After the Shuofeng completed the cracking of the mystical lock, the thunderfish quickly arrived at the location of the jellyfish a-13, and the deep submersible continued to sink, 1500...1800...2200...

Logically speaking, the Sea Race should stay in the shallow water area now, waiting for an opportunity to attack the fleet at any time, but what Mino did not expect was that as he gradually sank to the bottom, the number of Sea Race around him not only did not decrease, but increased. And the deep sea, which was supposed to be pitch black, gradually became brighter. The clear light came from the observation window, and the color of the water was like flowing silver.

Thunderfish exploded around the deep submersible one after another, resisting more and more attacking demon sharks and armored whales. Through the naked eye, Mino saw a huge crimson squid waving its tentacles, and the end of the tentacles was overflowing. With magical brilliance.

Obviously, it was this monster that had built a mystical lock in the sea area below the fleet across a vast distance.

Mino became restless, with cold sweat on his forehead.

"Boom, clang..." The deep submersible was hit, and the ten thunderfish that accompanied him in the sinking had already been exhausted. Here, he saw his original mission target - a school of gunfish. The long dart gun-shaped strange mouth, slender body and extremely fast swimming speed passed by in his field of vision.

"Boom~" The spearfish stabbed.

The deep submersible shook violently, the iron frame on the surface made a toothache sound, and the surging water slapped on the shell of the jellyfish. The whole sea area was stirred up by the fish school, and the gunfish school flew across the field of vision. Armored whales appeared one after another, and demon hunter sharks also entered the monitoring range.

The dark steel tanks installed on both sides of the jellyfish a-13 have been damaged. The steel wall of the deep-sea oxygen tank prepared by the Empire for the jellyfish is several centimeters thick, and there are enchanting measures, but it is still the most vulnerable part of this deep-sea weapon. Unable to resist the stabbing of the spearfish, several openings were torn open after being hit by the attack, and oxygen escaped from the cracks.

Mino suddenly realized why he was immediately surrounded as soon as he was discovered. Armored whales, demon sharks... Countless sea tribes rushed to him immediately, and even assisted by spell-casting squid.

It turned out that this is where the Sea Clan gathers.

A slender figure swims in the clear sea water, its long tail swings slowly, and it moves calmly, but anyone can see that it can explode at an astonishing speed at any time, rushing towards the target like an arrow. The giant demon hunter shark is covered with a pale bone shell. It is hard to imagine such a creature in the sea.

As soon as it appeared, other sea tribes consciously avoided it. It looked like the leader of the demon hunting shark group.

"Crack..."

The leader of the demon hunter stared at the jellyfish. It rushed over quickly, opened its mouth and bit the tail of the submersible, and tore it with its cheeks. The jellyfish shook violently, and the propeller made a cracking sound. After a while, it let go The deep submersible flew away and threw it to the sharks waiting around. They teased like they were competing for their prey, constantly scrambling and biting.

Oxygen supply tank leakage, watertight cabin leakage, transmission system failure, power failure... The alarm light on the main console flickered like crazy, and Mino knew that this deep submersible had lost the ability to return.

"A-13, we have received a distress signal from the deep submersible, please report your situation." A hurried voice came from the communicator.

"It's okay." Mino responded briefly, and then unilaterally closed the connection with the headquarters. At this time, he guessed that these sea people might rely on sound vibrations to locate themselves, so he groped to cut off the power source, put the All the valves are closed, leaving only the magic pattern outside the jellyfish hidden, like a stone that continues to sink.

Although he couldn't return, he wanted to do something more before being completely torn apart.

3100... 3400... 4200... Light came in from the porthole, and he saw neat rows of deep-sea murlocs, sea dragons full of sharp teeth, heavy acid squid oozing venom, and many unnamed species .

The pointer of the depth gauge was wobbly, the jellyfish a-13 was struggling to suspend in the deep sea, tilted slightly, all the lights on the instrument panel flickered for a while and then all went out, and the flickering magic power core stopped working. It was full of "woo hoo" sound of airflow. Mino knew that this Blackwing Empire's first-generation deep submersible had already done everything it could.

Now, it is peacefully asleep.

He slumped in the seat exhaustedly, the lack of oxygen made it difficult for him to move, he fumbled slowly, found the independent single-wire contactor in the cockpit, and dialed: "Shuofeng, this is a-13..."

It seems that he has understood his situation at this moment, and the quiet and indifferent voice of the correspondent seems to have become gentle: "Got it, please tell me."

"I have entered the hinterland of the Sea Clan, please locate my depth coordinates, clean the target, repeat, clean the target."

After a moment of silence, the voice from the communicator sounded: "It has been communicated to the headquarters. You..."

Mino, whose brain was hypoxic, could no longer hear the other party's response clearly. He squinted, dazedly, and said to himself, "I may not be able to go back this time. You guys... have to work hard."

"……good."

"For the empire."

"For the empire."
