With Zero's precise control, the third decoy successfully exploded near the giant fish.

Accompanied by increasingly frequent ultrasonic waves in the seawater, Poseidon continued to stealthily "sneak" towards the giant fish.

Unlike before, this time Hope deliberately avoided the area that was flashing orange-red light.

Looking through the porthole at the increasingly close, cracked skin, Hope and Hansent instinctively slowed their breathing.

The cockpit was completely silent; apart from the sounds of the instrument controls, the two men could even hear their own hearts beating.

"Let's try using a robotic arm to see if we can get a sample."

Lü Yongchang's voice came through the loudspeaker.

Hope felt a slight tremor in her heart.

Robotic arm sampling?

What's the difference between this and dancing in front of the King of Hell?!

"Don't worry." Perhaps sensing the fear in the two drivers' hearts, Mao Zhengzhi said, "Considering all the circumstances, its skin is very thick, and surface sampling should not attract its attention."

"...Should?" Hope felt her body go numb.

"Cough! Definitely! Definitely!" Mao Zhengzhi seemed to remember something, glanced at Lü Yongchang with a strange expression, and quickly corrected him.

Upon seeing this, Lü Yongchang's lips twitched slightly: "..."

...

In the pitch-black depths of the liquid ammonia ocean, a giant fish over two hundred meters long is excitedly devouring the surrounding seawater.

Beside the giant fish, a spherical probe with a slightly pitted surface was waving its mechanical arm on the side, slowly approaching the deep-sea giant fish that was immersed in its meal.

A bright beam of light pierced through the slightly murky seawater, shining directly onto the back of the giant fish, clearly revealing the patterns on its back.

Like a dried-up riverbed, it is covered with cracks of varying depths.

Irregularly shaped pieces of shell were stacked on top of each other, giving this giant deep-sea fish a thick layer of armor.

Thanks to this, it can recklessly ram the Poseidon exploration vessel without worrying about whether its own body will be damaged as a result.

The robotic arm carefully approached the carapace on its back.

A high-frequency vibrating cutting blade popped out from the robotic arm's fingers and gently touched the dark brown carapace.

The cutting blade was deflected.

Clearly, the hardness and toughness of this dark brown carapace far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Zero quickly adjusted the force of the robotic arm and the vibration frequency of the cutting blade, attempting to cut a tiny fragment from the tough carapace.

Time passed second by second.

The giant fish's swallowing motion gradually slowed down, and the ultrasonic waves received by the sonar device also became much gentler.

It seems that there is not much cesium chloride and rubidium chloride dissolved in seawater.

"Is there any more bait?"

"Hope asked loudly."

Hansent, standing nearby, reached out and pressed a few buttons on the holographic interface of the control panel: "Not much left. The Poseidon warehouse doesn't have much cesium chloride and rubidium chloride left. I estimate there are only three uses left!"

Outside the porthole, the high-frequency vibrating cutting blade had already sunk into the dark brown shell.

They need time!

Without the slightest hesitation, Hope shouted, "Quick! Keep launching the decoys!"

Knowing the urgency of the situation, Hansent quickly operated the other robotic arm and threw the fourth lure at the giant fish.

After a short wait, the decoy was activated remotely.

The cesium chloride and rubidium chloride in the solution dissolved rapidly in the surrounding liquid ammonia seawater.

But the giant fish's reaction was not as intense as before.

Perhaps out of a sense of shame about wasting resources, the giant fish symbolically swallowed and exhaled seawater, trying to take in as much of the dissolved cesium chloride and rubidium chloride as possible.

"No way..." Hope looked at the slow-moving giant fish outside the porthole, a deep fear flashing in his eyes.

"It's had enough to eat already?!"

"The cutting is complete." Zero's synthesized electronic voice rang out at just the right moment.

Before Hope could even feel happy, the synthesized voice sounded again.

"warn!"

"An anomaly detected!"

"Hope!" At the same time, Hansent's urgent, fearful growl came from the side, "Quick, quickly retract the mechanical arm!"

"Prepare to escape!! Its companions are coming!!!"

...

Dawn Star.

The command center was completely silent.

A giant holographic projection in front of everyone displayed footage from the camera on the belly of the Poseidon exploration vessel.

Three orange-red halos, flickering in and out, appeared faintly in the pitch-black depths of the sea.

Mao Zhengzhi swallowed hard and turned to look at the data transmitted back by the sonar device.

The ultrasonic waves rose and fell continuously in the liquid ammonia seawater.

“It’s like saying hello…” Mao Zhengzhi muttered to himself.

"They definitely have their own language system!"

In the holographic projection nearby, the number of ultrasonic fragment samples is increasing rapidly.

But as of now, there is still no duplicate segment.

"How could this be..." Mao Zhengzhi's eyes grew increasingly puzzled.

Lu Yongchang, standing to the side, had no energy to pay attention to Mao Zhengzhi's mutterings.

At this moment, his attention was focused on the Poseidon exploration ship.

Three new giant fish have arrived, making a total of four deep-sea giant fish, in addition to the original one!

What if you become curious about the exploration vessel...?

The scene is too beautiful to imagine.

"Hope, Hansent, halt exploration and prepare for evacuation!"

"Zero, take control of [Poseidon] and launch a decoy immediately!" Lu Yongchang's calm voice rang out in the command center.

"Retract the robotic arm and sample, and ascend immediately!"

"receive."

...

Inside the Poseidon exploration vessel.

Hope and Hansent sat pale-faced in their chairs, their hands gripping the seatbelts tightly in front of them.

Since the anomaly was discovered, the entire exploration vessel has been placed under Zero's control.

Under Zero's control, the right-side robotic arm slowly retracted into the cabin.

At the same time, the left robotic arm threw a decoy into the distance.

After a short wait, the decoy was activated remotely.

The three newly arrived giant fish quickly noticed the abnormality in the surrounding seawater.

They quickly moved away, chasing after the bait.

Like the first giant fish, cesium chloride and rubidium chloride had a fatal attraction for them.

At that very moment, the exploration vessel expelled the liquid ammonia seawater from its intake chamber and initiated the surfacing procedure!

The tail propeller also started up, quickly propelling the exploration vessel away from this troublesome place!

"call……"

Hansent breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the orange-red flashing lights recede into the distance outside the porthole.

“Finally safe…” Hansent muttered to himself, “I swear, I never want to come back to this godforsaken place again in my life!!”

Hope didn't reply, but just frowned and looked at the porthole in front of her.

"What's wrong?" Hansent noticed Hope's unusual behavior and asked, "With that bait, these giant fish shouldn't chase after us, right?"
