What's it like to be pampered by eight mutated cat cubs + N powerful ability users and witness the crematorium moment of your toxic family in the apocalypse? Qiao He says: Awesome~
Seriou...
If nothing unexpected happens, this sunken area is exactly where they are looking for.
The underground laboratory is very likely located here!
Bo Shiwu said in a low voice, "I'll try to see if I can break it open."
Qiao He nodded slightly, "Okay."
If that's really the case, they'll have to go down in diving suits. There's no other way; even if the water is extremely dirty, they'll still have to go down.
Qiao He now knows that Qiao Si is still alive, so she is going down to look for him, even if he isn't there.
Besides this method, there are no other clues to find Joss's whereabouts.
Before long, Thin Mist used his mental power to break open a large hole in the sunken ground.
Because the ground was already sunken and the soil was very loose, and there was also water pressure from a large amount of sewage above, the thin fog easily made a hole.
The hole was pitch black and was quickly filled with sewage.
However, not long after, Qiao He observed that the water in the hole stopped flowing in, because the surrounding water flow had stopped, and it seemed that it had flowed in and was quickly blocked by something.
Qiao He whispered, "Could there be a door down there?"
If the doorknob hadn't blocked the sewage, it would probably have been pouring in like crazy right now.
According to Qiao Fei and Qiao Jin, this underground laboratory is quite large, so this situation is indeed unusual.
"We're still not sure if it's a laboratory. Bo Shiwu, can you use your special ability to probe what's down there?" Qiao He asked softly.
Bo Shiwu nodded slightly, "Okay."
After saying that, Bo Shiwu began to use his mental power to probe what was below.
When he first gently struck the bottom, they heard a dull thud, like an iron gate being struck, accompanied by the soft gurgling of water.
Qiao He's eyes widened slightly: "It might be a door!"
Bo Shiwu tested it again, this time with greater force; it was indeed a door.
Judging by its size, it's quite large.
It's either an iron gate or an alloy gate.
"It must be the laboratory, no doubt about it," Bo Shiwu said in a low voice.
Qiao He nodded and said excitedly, "I'll go down and take a look right now!"
"How are you going to get down?" Bo Shiwu asked anxiously.
The water outside was so dirty that even a wetsuit couldn't guarantee 100% coverage.
Qiao He didn't care about that. What if Qiao Si was waiting for her to save him down there?
If he's about to give up, what does this little bit of dirty water matter?
Qiao He shook her head and said, "It's alright, it shouldn't be a big problem. Don't go down, wait for me in the submarine, I'll go down and check the situation."
After saying that, Qiao He was about to put on her diving suit and go down.
But Bo Shiwu grabbed her wrist, saying, "I'll go with you."
“But… you’re a burden, you can’t go down. You should stay in the submarine. What if those monsters come to attack again? Who will deal with them then?!” Qiao He was still very worried about the kittens and Lin Qiao.
Just then, Lin Qiao stepped forward and said, "Xiao Bo, you should go with A He. Don't worry, the kids and I can manage here."
Lin Qiao had just watched Bo Shiwu operate the submarine and had already learned how, but she hadn't told Qiao He and Bo Shiwu.
She has always had an exceptionally strong memory; once she's seen something, she can learn it almost instantly, without much effort. It's as if the scene is being replayed in her mind.
Only then did Lin Qiao dare to say those words.
If she were just a helpless old woman, she wouldn't dare to utter such arrogant words right now, because she might accidentally cause the deaths of Qiao He's precious kittens!
Qiao He was a little worried, but Lin Qiao smiled and said, "Trust us, it's okay."
Qiao Yin also transformed into a cute little human boy, wagging his fluffy tail and saying in a childish voice, "Don't worry, Mommy, I'll be with Grandma."
"I'm in human form now, I can definitely help Grandma. You guys hurry up and save As, we don't know what kind of injustice he's suffered..."
Qiao Yin was also very worried about Qiao Si, but there was nothing he could do, as he hadn't been able to find Qiao Si for far too long.
Just then, Qiao Fei said, "Abu and I have superpowers, are you alright? Go ahead and don't worry."
"Also, Ah Yin, you need to tell that two-legged beast to protect Mommy well! Otherwise, we won't let him off the hook!" Qiao Fei said gruffly.
Then Qiao Yin imitated Qiao Fei's fierce tone and repeated what he said in a cute but fierce way.
Bo Shiwu smiled helplessly: "Okay, I will protect her, don't worry."
Qiao Yin nodded in satisfaction and said to Qiao He like a little adult, "Okay, Mom, you can go now. You really don't need to worry about us."
Qiao He felt a mix of emotions, but there really wasn't a better way.
So they quickly changed into their diving suits and prepared to go down.
Bo Shiwu also put on her diving suit just as quickly as she did, and the two of them tried their best to avoid contact with the sewage.
This is the only way to avoid getting infected again.
Although the two individuals are far more physically robust than ordinary people, the highly virulent and deadly virus is still quite terrifying. Even if it doesn't kill them, it will make them suffer for quite some time.
Therefore, it's best to take precautions as much as possible.
So the two of them quickly got dressed and then got out of the submarine.
Despite the water pressure, they struggled to swim to the bottom.
Fortunately, the monsters didn't come to bother them at this time, otherwise things would have been even worse.
Perhaps it was because the monster subconsciously felt that the submarine would never be able to be opened from the outside, so it gave up.
They didn't know that Qiao He and Bo Shiwu would come out on their own initiative.
After all, these monsters aren't very intelligent; they're just quite strong in combat.
Before long, the two of them swam to the front of the gate.
The door was two or three meters high, and the underwater light was so dim that they could barely see how it closed.
It is estimated that the design took into account the possibility of flooding, so the door is cleverly designed to separate the sewage from the water and prevent it from being washed away.
Qiao He couldn't communicate with Bo Shiwu in the water, and it took a while of gesturing before they could barely communicate.
But it's still a bit difficult. Qiao He regrets not learning sign language before. This time, she'll definitely make sure everyone learns sign language!
Otherwise, if the land is flooded by a tsunami in the future, they will be unable to communicate and will be doomed.
Just as Qiao He was struggling to communicate clearly with Bo Shiwu, she suddenly heard the system's voice: "I told you to check the system store more often, but you didn't. Now I have to remind you."
"Want a remote voice transmission card?" The system's ruthless mechanical voice sounded incredibly touching at this moment.
Qiao He immediately shouted, "Yes, yes, yes! Of course I want it!"
The "Playing it Off" system was speechless: "1000 emotion points, come and exchange them."
"Alright, Tongzi, I love you, muamua!" Qiao He was overjoyed.
