Underworld Retrograde

Chapter 260: The Figure on the Abandoned Ship

The mines were buried for a relatively short period of time and were at least installed decades after the Dead Sea Hulk was formed.

But who will it be at that time?

The Ark elect who previously challenged the Dead Sea Hulk?

But since they are all psychics of the fifth or sixth sense, there should be no need to use mines.

Or do they want to use landmines to draw the enemy's attention?

Or is there a survivor in a ship captured by a Dead Sea hulk?

Did they fight back against the flesh aberrations in this dangerous area? Landmines are one of their methods?

As for scavengers, Li Yelai didn't consider them. Even the authorities are not aware of the Dead Sea hulk located in the deep sea, and scavengers are unable to come here.

"Jing Lin, do you have the ability to track traces?" Li Yelai asked in a low voice.

If you have this ability, it will be easier to track and investigate.

Detectives who are also on the Spiritual Eye Path have these abilities. On-site encounters can be restored through traces.

"No, but I have the ability of 'extreme subtlety' and can observe subtle differences. The thickness of dust on the ground and on mines is completely different." The left eye exposed under Jing Lin's mask was already a little dim, but he didn't care. Instead, he responded: "It may be difficult for you to notice, but in my eyes, this difference is particularly obvious."

"It's difficult to determine the identity of the other party based on this alone. Let's move on. If there are survivors, it will be a good thing for us." Li Yelai said.

"That's right. The latest batch of missing fleets investigated by the official is the border fleet of Border City No. 1. If there are survivors, it is likely to be them."

"But the time is too far away, forty or fifty years, even if it is really them." Li Yelai shook his head and sighed.

If it is really the border fleet, it is Li Yelai's comrades. But in this environment, without any reinforcements or any logistical supplies. It may be difficult for the survivors to hold on until now.

"It's been too long after all, so we still have to be careful. I'll go ahead. I can see more with my eyes." As he spoke, Jing Lin's left eye gradually began to recover. He held a spear and walked in front.

Li Yelai did not distance himself, but followed Jing Lin one step behind, covering his side.

The two quickly passed through the breach area silently, and they saw a flesh-and-blood aberration that was walking around.

It is about two meters and four meters tall. The body is still close to human shape, but the head is covered with huge sarcoma, and in the sarcoma, there is a big red eyeball.

It might be something like a sentinel, detached from the blood vessels on the hull, patrolling back and forth nearby.

Its patrol range is not large, and its field of view seems to be only a dozen meters. But in the area where it is located, there are more than a dozen ordinary flesh and blood aberrations.

It is a bit difficult to avoid it for assassination.

And once it is killed, it may alert nearby flesh and blood aberrations.

"It's going to be difficult." Jing Lin whispered: "We have to wait until it is far away from this aberration, and then kill it first."

"Well, just in case, let's do it together." Li Yelai responded.

"Okay, one after the other, stab him to death!" The two spearmen reached an agreement.

After seeing the Sentinel aberration turning back and forth twice, he locked its movement trajectory and then silently approached it, lurking around its corner.

The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, calmly watched the Sentinel aberration approach.

Li Yelai stretched out his fingers again and gestured at Jing Lin. The two have worked together many times, so they have a tacit understanding.

The moment the sentry approached, Li Yelai bent his second finger.

The two men have begun to tighten their muscles and are about to launch a fatal attack.

However, just when Li Yelai was about to bend his last finger, the sentry less than four meters away from the two men was suddenly shocked.

At the same time, the expressions of the two people who were about to take action changed and they immediately hid around the corner.

And almost at the same time, the sarcoma on the sentinel's body suddenly unfolded, and more than a dozen tentacles suddenly pierced out, probing in all directions!

The nearest tentacle was less than twenty centimeters away from Li Yelai's cheek!

This made both of them nervous, thinking that the sentry had discovered them.

But the sentry still didn't move. After a few seconds, all the tentacles retracted into the sarcoma.

The sentries continued patrolling.

This time, Li Yelai and Jing Lin didn't hesitate and took action immediately!

The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, wielded their psychic weapons at the same time. It was like two blades colliding with each other, directly cutting off the sentry's head!

Before its head hit the ground, Jing Lin picked it up with a shot. The gun barrel shook, shattering the eyes and various tissues inside.

Li Yelai danced his halberd again. The halberd penetrated the chest of the sentry aberration and twisted it hard!

Eighteen picks with one hand·Turn!

The sharp double ears rotated, directly smashing all its internal organs including the heart!

Then, the two men gently put down the head and body. Try not to make any noise.

After doing all this, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"What was that just now? Did you notice us?" Jing Lin asked in a low voice.

"Maybe, but it could also be just a routine inspection." Li Yelai slowly exhaled: "Fortunately, for us, it was easy to avoid at the speed just now."

"That's true. If we had gone faster, we would have been caught." Jing Lin complained, "It's so sinister."

The sentry's sudden movement caught people off guard. Fortunately, the two reacted very quickly and were able to avoid it safely.

But if you are a psychic with third or fourth awakening, you may be in danger. You may be caught off guard and easily fall prey to attacks.

Immediately, the two began to clean up the scene again and eliminate the sleeping aberrations.

However, here, people were surprised to see some clothes on the aberrations.

Most of the aberrant bodies have physical distortions, and most of their clothes are torn to pieces or worn away.

Among the aberrations here, there is actually one wearing a combat uniform and a bulletproof vest.

Perhaps it was because the bulletproof vest was too strong and could not be opened, so it remained on his body.

Li Yelai squatted down to check, and soon got a military officer's ID card that had been mostly corroded from his tactical uniform.

Although the name and specific information cannot be seen, it is certain that these are indeed soldiers from the Border Fleet.

"After the border fleet lost contact, it was indeed brought here." Li Yelai looked at the flesh and blood aberration and sighed softly. It felt really bad to bury his comrades.

Jing Lin's eyes had recovered. He looked at the flesh-and-blood aberration and said, "It was transformed after death. There were obvious penetrating wounds on his bulletproof vest. Perhaps, corpses that died near these blood vessels would be transformed into flesh-and-blood aberrations." body."

"I don't know how many people there will be." Li Yelai whispered.

Afterwards, the two continued to move forward, but because many passages were blocked due to twists, their way forward was blocked. I cut it hastily, but I was worried about attracting aberrations.

So the two put on oxygen masks and dived into the cabin that was flooded by sea water.

With the psychic barrier, they can move freely underwater without the need for diving suits.

After swimming for more than ten minutes, the two finally found a torn gap.

After the two climbed out of the gap, they saw an even stranger sight.

They saw a large number of ships, which were kneaded together by some force. The hulls had already been twisted and deformed, and the hulls were piled up. Turning into a huge Iron Curtain, the bottom of the ship, the bridge, and the deck were all strangely built into a desperate Iron Curtain, and a large number of blood vessels spread from the ship's body.

And on those blood vessels, the flesh and blood aberrations were beating with a faint red light.

Like a red starry sky, like a red nightmare!

'Hiss' Li Yelai and Jing Lin both took a breath of cold air. There were hundreds of red lights, which meant that there were thousands of flesh and blood aberrations among them!

Moreover, some aberrations are larger and seem to be more powerful!

"How many people did it capture?" Jing Lin couldn't help but shake his head: "We can't force it. There are so many monsters, and they all have psychic barriers. Even using the Skyfire Eyes, they can't be wiped out in a short time."

"Let alone annihilation, once a battle breaks out, the structure here will probably collapse instantly. Even if I don't trigger the vehicle killer, the place will disintegrate." Li Yelai responded in a low voice.

"The only good thing is that there is still oxygen here. Otherwise, how uncomfortable it would be for us." Jing Lin took off his oxygen mask.

He glanced around, then was startled, and immediately pointed to an overturned ship in the distance.

The ship was relatively well preserved and was surrounded by countless ships, but its huge deck was exposed.

"Look, the invincible guided missile destroyer!"

Li Yelai was startled, looking at the huge ship and the large number of missile silos opened on the deck, and couldn't help but said in surprise: "How did you recognize it?"

Li Ye had never seen the ocean before, and his understanding of warships was not very clear.

He really couldn't tell the difference between a destroyer and a cruiser.

"The official showed me all the recorded overhead photos of the warships. If my memory is correct, they should be destroyers." Jing Lin was not sure either: "I heard that those were our strongest ships before the disaster. Destroyer. But the gringos at that time called it a cruiser. Maybe it was a different definition. I haven’t even seen a battleship before!”

As a resident of Yaoqing Giant City, Jing Lin has never seen the sea.

If anyone knows about warships, it should be Border City No. 1. After all, it has a military port before the disaster.

It is really difficult for brothers like Li Yelai and Jing Lin, who have never seen the sea, to distinguish warships.

"But I know that this battleship was the overlord of the sea before the disaster. The missiles it launched could reach Mach 10 at top speed! If it hit directly, whoever hits it will die! Unfortunately, after the technological gap, humans can no longer build This kind of thing." Jing Lin shook his head.

"Then if we carry one back, will it be considered as completing the mission?" Li Yelai asked: "When the time comes, you can take it back and let Jucheng study it. Maybe we can get the technology back."

"There are actually missiles preserved in the giant city. Although I am not a scientific researcher, I also know that it is difficult to reconnect the technological fault. Without the corresponding industry and knowledge, it is difficult to continue even if there are finished products." Jing Lin thought: "But we You can also go and take a look, maybe you can find information about the missing fleet from the logbook."

After the two finalized their decision, they approached the destroyer lined up in the Iron Curtain.

However, approaching the Iron Curtain, the two saw increasingly dense blood vessels. And even denser flesh and blood aberrations!

They were sleeping on the deck, in the cabin, and in various places.

Let the two people move slower and slower.

They had to backstab the aberrations along the way one by one, and it took them nearly two hours to get close to the Iron Curtain.

While passing a bent whale ship, the pair spotted a plaster flag.

There were several footprints on it and it was torn into pieces.

Obviously, the survivors who had been here were very dissatisfied with this thing.

The two of them sneered and stepped on it a few more times.

Then, Jing Lin said: "From the dust on the footprints just now, the interval between two of the footprints is no more than three years."

"That is to say, there were survivors who lived here for at least two years?" Li Yelai was surprised.

"Indeed, if it weren't for the Ark voters who came here to challenge, it should be them. But it's only two or three years." Jing Lin shook his head and said: "The fleet that lost contact recently has been more than 40 years."

The two continued to move forward and began to climb on the iron curtain.

In order not to cause trouble, they did not use air steps. It took them a long time.

When the two walked past a broken cruise ship, the deck under their feet suddenly cracked.

The two people's faces changed, and they immediately jumped out more than ten meters.

But the deck was still broken, and a large piece of metal plate fell off and slammed down.

Li Yelai and Jing Lin looked ugly, but they could only watch the metal block hit a fishing boat below heavily, and the sharp metal plate actually cut the fishing boat directly. This caused a huge noise, and the entire iron curtain was also filled with the terrifying sound of metal twisting and bending.

This undoubtedly alarmed the sleeping flesh and blood deformities, and the flashing red lights suddenly became rapid, and the flesh and blood deformities were waking up one by one.

Li Yelai and Jing Lin looked gloomy, and immediately raised the psychic weapons in their hands, ready for a fight!

Jing Lin's eyes flashed, and there seemed to be a subtle spiritual wave coming out of his forehead.

And Li Yelai's pupils turned into gilded gold. Although he could not use Bai Qi's facial makeup to crush them all into meat paste.

But the mimicry·Dragon Soul God Treasure is still a means of attacking the group!

However, those flesh and blood deformities rushed to the bottom of the iron curtain that finally made the sound, and did not find the two people hanging on the iron curtain.

This made the two people's hearts gradually let go, and they immediately hid in the cabin.

After a few minutes, the alarmed deformities failed to find any enemies, so they returned to their blood vessels and fell asleep again.

"It seems that they are not very sensitive. As long as we are not dragged down, we can use sound to lead them away." Jing Lin said.

"Indeed." Li Yelai also breathed a sigh of relief. Unless it was absolutely necessary, neither of them wanted to face so many monsters head-on.

"Let's go, we are almost there." Li Yelai looked up at the destroyer that was more than 80 meters away from him, but he was horrified to see a figure standing on the overturned bridge, with a lifeless look, looking down coldly at the two people below.

And the next moment, the figure shook and disappeared completely. (End of this chapter)
