When his consciousness woke up little by little, Tang Yi felt the unusual pressure on his body. That ubiquitous pressure covered every inch of the body, accompanied by a deep cold that crept into the blood and bone marrow through nanomaterials and skin. My hands and feet were numb to the point of losing consciousness, and when I moved a little, there was a rustling tingling and soreness spread all over my body.
He opened his eyes, only to see a bottomless darkness.
His breathing quickened, and he raised his arms to his eyes despite the discomfort, but he still couldn't see anything. He hurriedly reached for the light on the helmet and turned the knob several times, but nothing happened.
Now there are two possibilities, one, his headlight was broken; two, he was knocked blind...
He hopes to be the first...
He had never seen such an airtight blackness, coming from every angle in the void to devour him, without giving the slightest chance to breathe. He didn't know where he was, and he reached out and fumbled around, feeling something like a hard wall covered with slimy algae. He propped himself up, leaned back against the wall, reached out and turned on the walkie-talkie button beside his ear, trying to call someone else. But there was no response.
The walkie-talkie was also damaged, but his respiratory system was only slightly damaged, still extracting oxygen from the seawater. It's just that the oxygen concentration is a little low, and after breathing for a long time, there is a feeling of chest tightness and shortness of breath. Tang Yi was so angry that he thumped on the ground and roared in frustration. His heart was beating fast, and this dark world was not silent. The vast and ancient distant sighs unique to the deep sea, the silent murmurs of the convection of the tides, the hollow sounds of ugly fish in the dark with their mouths open, and the sound of sea anemones swallowing shrimp and crabs that should not fall into traps. Satisfying sighs and silent screams of prey. Although these sounds are all at or below the boundary of infrasound waves, they can usually be suppressed in the subconscious and not noticed. But now, Tang Yi couldn't see. He was at the bottom of the vast Chinese ocean, surrounded by rotten cities that had been dead for hundreds of years, hiding mysterious and unknown monsters and ghosts. The feeling of fear and anxiety had completely overwhelmed him.
He only felt that the strange and suspicious sounds were everywhere, and sometimes he could even feel unidentified fish brushing his cheeks. Due to the shortness of breath, the conversion of the underwater breathing system could not keep up with the speed at which he was consuming oxygen, which made him more and more delusional of suffocation. Tang Yi knew that if he continued like this, he would kill himself.
He said to himself, "Tang Yi! Calm down! Breathe!"
He clutched the only thing he could hold with his hands—the wall of a building in a crumbling old town. He counted silently in his heart, and forced himself to inhale deeply and exhale slowly following the rhythm. The only thought he could grasp at the moment was Mercury's firm and clear eyes. Thinking about those eyes made him feel a little calmer for some reason.
But then he thought, what about mercury
Without the headset, his voice couldn't get out of the helmet at all. His cry was smothered in the glass and seemed futile and powerless.
Tang Yi cursed in a low voice and stood up staggeringly leaning against the wall. He checked his weapons, and there was a small microwave gun hanging around his waist. The wrist gun seemed to be functional, but there was not much energy left. He put away the flippers on his shoes, and when he couldn't see it, it was more reliable to walk close to the bottom of the sea. He groped for all the obstacles he could touch, and stumbled in a random direction to start walking.
Without light, he had no idea where he was going, or whether he was spinning in place. His only reference was a vague sense of the direction of the sea's flow. It is summer now, and they are close to the junction of the Chinese Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. It should be near the ancient city called Shanghai. The slightly warm water they feel should flow toward the northern hemisphere. Taking this as a reference, he judged that he was heading east at the moment.
Tang Yi heard his thumping heartbeat, and occasionally could not help shouting in vain, hoping that someone could hear the sound he made to respond to him. Where have everyone else gone? Are their headlights broken too? Why can't anyone see it
Or... he's been in a coma longer than he thought, and they left him here
Staying in the darkest corner of the world, leaving endless unknowns and confusion, leaving eternal loneliness...
Tang Yi fought a cold war and stopped his wandering thoughts in time. He knew he had to control his rich imagination, or he would go mad before long.
He stumbled across the bottom of the ocean, littered with boulders, abandoned cars, collapsed buildings, and obstacles of unknown shape, and didn't know how long he had gone. He was thirsty and tired, sweating constantly on his body, and the feeling of chest tightness was getting worse, and he would stop to pant after walking a few steps. He collapsed beside a coral-covered reef, making a final attempt to call the rest of the team.
After receiving no response, he slapped the knob of the walkie-talkie hard angrily, but slapped himself in the head.
If he was really left, or if everyone else was killed by the sea monster, he would be the only one left. So what should we do
Is it really going to die in this dark hell
Tang Yi was sure that he had been punished. He has an identity that doesn't belong to him, so that's why he encounters so many fucking things. The first task was difficult and dangerous, and it was difficult to take a vacation and then encounter a terrorist attack. This underwater exploration was originally such an easy task, as long as you endure the slightly harsh living environment in the submarine, and then make sure that those Frankensteins who can't pick up their shoulders and can't lift themselves up will be fine. The only rebel stronghold on their route had been cleared, and the Blue Whale didn't even have many weapons on it. Even so, they still encountered a small probability event like a sea monster.
He is going to see his brother. Isn't my brother's ashes also floating in this Chinese ocean
He suddenly missed the sky full of thick and cloudy clouds that never saw the light of day that he hated so much, the rancid sea breeze of the Kraken team, Tsuruta Craftsman's really white eyes, and even Tan Mingyuan's dark dishes... What's important, he really wants to see Mercury again...
Just thinking about it, I really saw a silver-white figure slowly approaching from a distance.
Tang Yi blinked his eyes slowly, sneered, and muttered to himself in frustration, "Mom... Have you begun to have hallucinations..."
The hallucination swung its long fish tail across the sea of darkness and was in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Huh? Why is Takuma Tsuruta still following behind Mercury's hallucination? Why do you still see this person's hallucination even when you are about to die? Is there something wrong with your brain
Tang Yi patted his head hard, looked up again, and saw the same scene.
Mercury floated lightly in front of him, and his hands gently supported his head. His confused eyes looked at Mercury's, and he seemed a little sluggish.
This touch... is too real...
"Tang Yi! How are you!" Mercury's concerned voice entered his ears, and he nodded hesitantly. Tsuruta Takumi, who was standing behind Mercury, seemed to say something, but Tang Yi couldn't hear it.
It seems that the headset is broken, so I can't hear other people's voices all the time...
It wasn't a hallucination, it turned out that he was saved!
Immediately after, three more figures appeared, Luo Wei rushed over like an arrow, followed by Zixi and Peacock. Luo Wei's mouth seems to be shouting "Brother Tang! You are injured!"
Mercury replied impatiently, "His headset is broken, so he can't hear you."
Luo Wei didn't say a word after listening, and went directly to Tang Yi's head, took out some strange tools from a small package around his waist and fiddled with Tang Yi's helmet for a while. In less than ten minutes, Tang Yi's long-silent headset suddenly came out, "Brother Tang, can you hear me?"
Tang Yi was shocked, "You kid even has this skill!"
Luo Wei smiled shyly, "Didn't I tell you before? I majored in mechanical engineering and modern weapons in the training camp."
No wonder he came to step up Nolan's seat... Tang Yi felt more and more that this brat was awesome.
"Okay, now that we have found someone, we will retreat immediately." Tsuruta Takumi ordered.
Mercury just wanted to reach out and pull Tang Yi up, but found that Luo Wei had naturally put Tang Yi's hand on his shoulder and stood up with his waist. Tang Yi stabilized his body and waved his hand, "It's okay, I'm just a little dizzy."
Mercury pursed her lips and silently withdrew the hand she was planning to support Tang Yi. Inexplicably, Mercury felt a little disliked by the one named Luo Wei. That feeling is a bit similar to the faint feeling of fucking when a little boy's beloved toy car was snatched by a bear kid who came to visit from a relative's house.
Later, Tang Yi learned that he had been in a coma for a long time, and he flew into the abandoned city and was blocked by buildings. At that time, after the sea monster escaped, it was only when all the personnel gathered to search and rescue the wounded that he was gone. Mercury insisted on going to find Tang Yi, and Luo Wei also went, Tsuruta Craftsman decided to let the others land on the blue whale first, and the five of them came out to search for Tang Yi. They searched for three hours to no avail. Fortunately, Tang Yi's voice suddenly appeared in the headset at this time.
Re-enter the air chamber filled with seawater, and the high-pressure air quickly discharges the seawater out of the chamber. Tang Yi immediately took off his helmet and collapsed on the ground, taking a deep breath like someone who almost suffocated.
Luo Wei checked his helmet, his delicate eyebrows tightened, "Your respirator is malfunctioning, why didn't you tell me. Do you know how dangerous the generated oxygen is if something goes wrong!"
Luo Wei's fierce appearance reminded Tang Yi of the scene where they met on the first day of the training camp dormitory... Tang Yi smiled feebly and waved his hands lazily, "I'm fine. Besides, in the sea How do you fix it?"
"How do you know that I repair..."
Before I could finish hearing the words, the world suddenly turned around. It turned out that Mercury was too lazy to continue listening to the nonsense of the two of them, so simply and rudely, he grabbed Tang Yi on his shoulder, climbed up from the air chamber, and went straight to the medical room. Tang Yi shouted on his shoulders, but due to the lack of oxygen for a long time, his body was unable to struggle, so Mercury put his arms around his legs and said coldly, "Shut up."
How could Tang Yi keep his mouth shut, all the people passing by were stealing strange glances from him and Mercury. Will this make him still face people in the future? Tang Yi violently pulled the wet hair behind Mercury's back with his hands, "Dead fish, why are you rebelling! Let me go!!"
Unmoved, Mercury opened the door of the medical room, walked in, and threw Tang Yi onto a hospital bed. The whole action was smooth and smooth, and the medical officers equipped on the submarine were frightened.
The medical officer Mercury Chong nodded "trouble", then glanced at Tang Yi threateningly, then turned around handsomely and went out.
The medical officer looked at the closed door with a bang, then looked at Tang Yi, and sighed, "How can your siren be more like a master than you..."
Tang Yi's mouth twitched, his nostrils smoking from anger.
