With that leap, Lin Dong suddenly felt a sense of boundless freedom, like a bird soaring in the sky.

After falling into the water, he did not rush to surface.

Anyway, I was wearing a diving suit and there were plenty of oxygen cylinders in the space.

In addition, the seawater at night is not pitch black.

Instead, there are always many fish and marine creatures with colorful lights swimming by not far away.

Once the X-ray vision was activated, the seabed nearly a thousand meters deep instantly became incredibly fantastical.

He saw glowing jellyfish, and countless strange, blue-snout fish chasing each other through piles of jagged sea rocks...

Huh?

As Lin Dong was immersed in this dreamlike scene, suddenly, he activated his third eye and was attracted by a golden object.

Take a closer look.

Damn, it was a box of gold buried in the sea mud.

The box of gold was contained in a large, decaying wooden crate. Hundreds of gold bricks, each the size of a red brick, were so conspicuous in the dark sea mud.

The mud layer covering the wooden crates was at least 100 meters thick.

With such a thick layer of mud, it's no wonder it's been hidden on the seabed for so many years without anyone discovering it.

No, does the discovery of a box of gold bricks mean that there is also a shipwreck buried there?

Lin Dong immediately shifted his gaze slightly away.

Sure enough, more than 80 meters away from the box of gold, Lin Dong finally saw an ancient three-story wooden boat.

The wooden boat was very large, with a rotten hull that was over 50 meters long, but over the years it had been buried deep in a hundred-meter-thick layer of sea mud.

More than 200 boxes of gleaming gold bars emitted a maddening light amidst the black sea mud...

Lin Dong was overjoyed.

My luck is just too incredible!

Did they just jump off a ship and discover a deep-sea treasure?

Lin Dong is currently at least 800 meters from the seabed.

At such a depth, a normal person, without any protective measures, simply could not withstand the water pressure of 80 atmospheres.

But Lin Dong is not a normal person. His maxed-out human physique can no longer be described as abnormal.

Also, don't we have a deep-sea submersible in our personal space?

Let's get right to it.

Lin Dong resurfaced and took out a deep-sea submersible from his spatial storage.

The submersible is small, just big enough to carry one person.

After changing into diving suits and preparing oxygen tanks, the submersible started moving, slowly heading towards the shipwreck while spraying water bubbles...

Upon reaching the location of the ancient shipwreck, Lin Dong did not hesitate. He put on a mask and oxygen tank and crawled out through the pressure chamber door of the submersible.

As soon as he crawled out of the hatch, he felt a force as heavy as a mountain pressing down on him.

At a depth of 800 meters, the water pressure is too great.

If his body hadn't been completely modified inside and out, Lin Dong would definitely have been knocked unconscious, and his internal organs and blood vessels might even have ruptured.

Let's get this done quickly and call it a day.

Lin Dong gritted his teeth, pressed his hands on the black mud, and activated his spatial collection power.

The loose mud layer is visibly disappearing.

The soil, covering an area of ​​tens of meters in radius and nearly a hundred meters thick, was quickly swept away.

The sunken ship and its cargo of gold were brought to light once more.

The dark sea seemed to suddenly sprout clusters of sunlight, brilliant and dazzling.

Under the immense water pressure, Lin Dong dared not delay any longer. His body, which had sunk to the hull, swayed a few times as he pressed down with both hands.

More than 200 boxes of gold bars disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Of course, even a mosquito is still meat, and Lin Dong didn't let go of that box of gold just a few dozen meters away either...

After all that trouble, it was already past 5 a.m. when he finally piloted the submersible back to the surface.

On the eastern horizon, a faint, fish-belly-like white light began to appear.

At this moment, Lin Dong lay on the deck of the speedboat, gazing at the starry sky, savoring the joy of his successful treasure hunt.

This fascination with treasure hunting is something every adult has.

And most of them come from childhood, from those crazy times of climbing mountains and wading through rivers.

The world at that time was vast, filled with unknown wonders.

Even discovering a small fish in the river can bring them wonder for quite some time...

.................................................

That afternoon, Lin Dong returned to Qin Island and landed on the eastern coast.

Upon receiving news of Lin Dong's return, Ling Qianyi dispatched a military jeep to pick Lin Dong up and bring him back to the military camp.

The Mo family attempted to escape in a military aircraft, but it was intercepted and shot down by the military.

His treason has been confirmed.

The military police dispatched by the military headquarters have forcefully occupied the camp of the 2nd Special Operations Brigade.

Brigade Commander Mo Hengtao defected and died, and his cronies cultivated in the Special Operations Brigade were quickly purged.

Of course, this also includes that arrogant major, battalion commander Tao Ying.

Ling Qianyi, as the head of the special task force dispatched by the top leadership, participated in the entire investigation of this defection case.

In this matter, the Ling family played a particularly important role, so the National Security Bureau, represented by Ling Qianyi, held absolute control.

On some minor issues, even the military had to step aside...

News of the Mo family's defection and escape quickly spread among the upper echelons of Beijing's elite circles.

At this critical juncture, those who chose the right side were naturally overjoyed, while those forces with intricate ties to the Mo family were gripped by extreme panic.

A major upheaval that will reshape the landscape of China is finally about to occur...

Besides the Mo family's key political pawns in Beijing, their family members and followers planted throughout the country were also swiftly purged one by one.
