Chapter 279: Fourteenth Day of Survival at Sea (2) It Wasn’t in vain…

Weapons like freezing traps are too large to carry around. I hope the three I just took out can trap those jellyfish.

There are four openings in the entire quadrilateral pipe. One of them is for entry only, another is for exit only, and the rest are all used to confuse people.

Yu Miaomiao steadied her breath and swam to the group of steel pipes that were almost buried in a pile of sea soil. After groping for a while, she quickly found the entrance that Api had first inquired about. She glanced at the mark on the map Ziren gave her, confirmed that it was the same one, and then went in.

The entrance to the cave was not big, about the same width as a large drainage sewer, just wide enough for one person to crawl in. She was carrying thick equipment and a backpack, which she had to take off and drag behind her while crawling.

After climbing forward three or four meters, I saw a three-way intersection with a bend. On the left was the exit of the U-shaped pipe. The first hole in front of me, which was covered with wire mesh, was just the exit to the secret passage below. If I took the trouble to open the wire, I would only find that the road was blocked by a steel plate that could only be pushed open from the innermost part.

Continue crawling forward, and when you reach the second hole, use the pliers in the toolbox to pry open the wire mesh. Looking down, you will see a deep and bottomless passage inside.

The entrance and exit of the pipe closest to this passage is an electrified wire mesh. If you enter from this electrified opening at the very beginning, you will be immediately stunned for several hours. If you faint in this sea, not only will the oxygen be depleted, but the monsters will also eat you.

Other things cannot measure the amount of electricity, and will only react when a living thing passes through it. Therefore, this secret passage is a very good item whether it is used as a place to hide things or as a back door to the base. It would be great if it could be taken away.

Placing a large backpack at the entrance of the cave, she continued to dive with a searchlight, trying her best to avoid touching the needle-pricked pipe wall.

The passage is full of traps. I don't know why anyone would want to create this thing in the first place. Only a murderer who wants to trap people completely would do that.

As she slowly dived down, she felt a vibration on her hand. It was the alarm clock she had set.

The resource search function had finished its cooldown, so she habitually clicked on it, glanced at it casually, and was about to close it, but what did the familiar hill-shaped icon on the map mean?

She had already given up hope. Apart from the occasional water resource appearing near the base, no new supply points could be found. Just when she thought that there was only water nearby, her companions used this function at other times and were able to survey new mineral resources, indicating that the system only wanted to give her the possibility of exploring water.

Now, when she was busy getting something, she unexpectedly got an exploration resource.

Yu Miaomiao was unsure if someone would get there first, so she had to hurry.

After diving another ten meters, I saw a small locked door.

The key was found in the bodies of the two people Chenchen caught. He inserted it and twisted it. At the same time, a weak electric current was formed between the thorns on the wall of the tube behind him. If it passed in the opposite direction, he would also be stunned by the current.

After the door opened, Yu Miaomiao was pushed into the heavy iron door by the huge force of the water flow. Due to the active design of the iron door, the iron door closed by itself before she could close it. A stream of sea water only submerged one foot of her, and the narrow room separated her from the sea water.

The entire small room is only a few square meters in size. If you straighten your back, it might hit your head. No matter how you look at it, it is only suitable as a small storage room. There are two medium-sized storage boxes neatly placed in front.

Each medium-sized storage box can hold 25 items, so two storage boxes are needed. It is obvious that he is not short of money and has hidden a lot of things. Yu Miaomiao opened the treasure chest happily.

The owner of the storage box is dead, and the combination lock on it has become invalid. Although the items in the storage box do not have a timed effect, they are still system items and are still isolated from the outside world. There are overlapping small icon items placed in the small grid. Among the various small icons in 5 rows and 5 columns, she recognized the familiar card at a glance - the Repair World Order Card!

"Boom—Gugugugu"

An explosion was heard, and before Yu Miaomiao had time to check the remaining supplies, she was blown away by the blast and crashed into the small room on the seabed.

With the sea water as a buffer, she only bumped lightly into the metal wall and was unharmed. She had been wondering how the group of people who also came to look for the secret passage could open this underwater secret door without a key. It turned out that they relied on violence.

Looking with the help of the waist lamp, the iron door was not cracked. It seemed that this secret door was not so easy to destroy.

"Bang-"

Another explosion sounded outside the door. It was a different bomb. Judging from the sound of the explosion, the bombs were more concentrated in one place.

A crack appeared on the door.

Yu Miaomiao tried the system backpack function, but it didn't work. It seemed that the sandstorm hadn't started yet.

The thermal detector only showed the thermal images of two people. After knowing what was going on, Yu Miaomiao tied the two boxes with the rope he carried with him, and then pulled the rope towards the exit hole.

Following the direction indicated on the map, she turned two small bends in the underground passage before reaching the entrance to the upward passage. There were handrails on the wall of the passage for people to climb, but now that seawater was seeping in, she could float directly up.

Such a huge underground device, no wonder it requires so many metal materials. In addition to the traps, such a good storage space must be used to store good things. Fortunately, she came.

Although she hadn't had time to carefully count the things in the storage box, the card alone was worth her trip.

In the thermal detector, the two men were still groping at the secret door. The sound of explosions one after another covered up the sound of her pushing open the top cover.

The storage boxes were not heavy, and with the help of the buoyancy of sea water, she grabbed the rope connecting the two storage boxes with one hand, tied all the large backpacks to herself, and swam out of the passage. Perhaps the two men were too engrossed in the bombing and did not notice her leaving at all.

As she swam to the exit, she heard a final explosion mixed with the sound of iron pipes breaking.

After swimming out of the area, she looked around and found that only one of the freezing traps she had placed had trapped two milky white jellyfish. The frozen jellyfish had lost consciousness, and the light white, almost transparent monster was hiding under the water pipe. The other two freezing traps placed in other places had disappeared, probably because they were taken away by these two people.

She had no time to ask for them back. She had to put the collected items back to a safe place, or at least put them back in her backpack.

She had no intention of going back to the spare boat above her head, so she opened the map, confirmed the location of Iris, swam in that direction, and sent the message at the same time.

"Gugu whoosh"

Yu Miaomiao didn't dare to relax for a moment. Paying close attention to the changes in the water flow was one of the turtle breathing techniques she had started practicing on the first day she came to the sea world. When the hidden arrow approached her, she turned around immediately.

An arrow with light green poison grazes the backpack on her side.

This is a backpack containing some weapons and supplies. I don’t know if these guns will be damaged if they get wet. If this bag of things is lost, the loss will be huge. Yu Miaomiao thought that she didn’t want to cause trouble for the other party, but the other party came to cause trouble first.

Yu Miaomiao looked back with a little anger. She didn't expect the two men to get so close so quickly. Then she looked at the two propulsion devices behind them that were spewing out. They looked more advanced than her own. She fired two rounds of octopus claw gun in return.

The shields in their hands blocked the octopus claws' binding this time. Yu Miaomiao changed to the water gun again, and a stream of water was sent towards them, shaking off the shields in their hands. She then fired two more shots of octopus claws.

As her claws were tied up, she immediately changed into the only glass gun that could be used underwater. This was a weapon that Lulu had made with great difficulty using the blueprint given by the Fish King. She pointed the gun at one of them and fired a shot. With the help of the extremely strong recoil of the gun, she leaned back, activated the jet and ejection devices at the same time, and rushed backwards along the water flow.

Fortunately, they came and helped her get rid of all the milky white jellyfish nearby.

After running nearly 50 meters, she saw that one of the two people opposite her was slowly floating back to the surface of the sea with blood on his body, while the other one continued to shoot another poisonous arrow at her.

But it was obvious that the shooting speed of the poisonous arrow was far slower than Yu Miaomiao's retreat speed. Until the remaining person was about to become a miniature, her retreat speed also slowed down. Not long after, her back was supported by an elastic leather product.

Yu Miaomiao still held the dagger in her hand. When she turned around, she saw a familiar figure. It was Iris. She was here!

“Swoosh—”

I saw Iris holding a remote control in one hand and holding Yu Miaomiao with the other hand. One torpedo after another was fired from a distance, bypassing the two of them and shooting towards the chasing figure.

“Bang, bang.”

Two bombs rang out, and the enemy not far away was blown into two halves.

What kind of weapon is this... It's too powerful. It's completely different from the torpedo installed under their cabin.

Yu Miaomiao, who was still in shock, was pulled by Iris towards the direction where the torpedo was fired.

After swimming for four or five minutes, they could see a huge ship on the sea. It was the large cruise ship of Iris. Two gun barrels were clearly visible under the cruise ship, so the torpedo just now was fired from this ship.

If Iris leaves the boat here like this, isn't she afraid that someone with ulterior motives will snatch it away?

When she arrived at the ladder, Iris saw clearly that there was a long string of things hanging behind Yu Miaomiao. The storage box was half-sunken in the sea before, so she didn't notice it. Now all these things were hanging on Yu Miaomiao, making it difficult for her to even climb the ladder.

After climbing one meter, Iris took off her mask and said, "Wait here for me. I'll go up and put the hook down for you."

Yu Miaomiao: “Yeah.”

After the iris climbed three or four meters high, a few mantis shrimps that only appear on sunny days swam towards Yu Miaomiao.

So today's weather not only has milky white jellyfish and sand wasps that only appear when there is a sandstorm, but also monsters that only appear when the weather is "sunny". This is the difficult mode with increasing difficulty.

Yu Miaomiao is now capable of dealing with them, but she is still carrying a lot of bags in her hands, and the big bag containing weapons has a hole and is leaking. She must leave the water and not give these shrimps a chance to attack her.

Seeing that Iris was still struggling to climb up, Yu Miaomiao had no choice but to grab the ladder with one hand, pull the storage box with her right hand, and climb up two steps with force. There were also several bags of daily necessities tied around her waist. Those water-soaked items seemed to weigh thousands of pounds, pulling her down all the time.

Yu Miaomiao gritted her teeth and took one step at a time. The first spiny shrimp had noticed her movement, jumped out of the water, and clamped its claws on her trouser leg.

The sharp claws cut through her advanced shield at five points. The next moment, another red spiny shrimp flicked its tail and pounced towards her from the sea.

Iris climbed onto the deck and saw the movement. She hurriedly pulled the hook. As the giant hammer hook slowly fell down, she jumped directly from the deck and jumped into the water.

"Iris!!" Yu Miaomiao shouted in the oxygen mask, but it was obvious that the other party didn't hear her.

He just ran into the water so rashly and jumped from such a high place. I don’t know if Iris was hurt by those spiny shrimps.

Yu Miaomiao didn't dare to stop. When the hook was about to reach her, she swung the thick chain with her right hand, hung up the two storage boxes, and then took off the large and small bags around her waist. She clamped her feet on the stairs, half-leaned over, and hung up all the remaining things.

After she finished unloading the cargo, she saw a figure emerging from under the ladder.

"Solved, let's go!"

Iris took off her oxygen mask, shouted something, and immediately put it back on.

The whole sky turned yellow and the sandstorm came again.
