Before leaving, Lu Yuan tested the water depth, which was about fifteen meters.
This was already a very deep water level, but in just seven days, the water depth has reached twenty-two meters.
"Phew! Looks like it's still raining outside!"
Lu Yuan, with a searchlight on his head, floated towards the surface of the water.
Xiao Shan followed closely behind, while Lu's father and Xiao Shan's father brought up the rear.
Each of the four men carried a gun, just in case.
However, the only thing Lu Yuan doesn't need to worry about now is where to store his personal equipment.
Since I now have my own dimensional space, I can store any extra items there.
Of course, the current size of the dimensional space is only 100 square meters, so he can no longer stuff everything into it like before.
With another person currently living in the dimensional space, it's not appropriate to have too many things inside.
So, Lu Yuan led the three of them to continue paddling towards the surface of the water.
The visibility in the water was very low, and it was extremely murky. Occasionally, you could also encounter some floating corpses.
Whenever he encountered floating corpses, Lu Yuan would try to stay as far away as possible, because he didn't know what kind of germs these corpses carried.
The golden fruit tree can no longer bear fruit, so all he can do now is try his best to ensure that he and his family do not get hurt.
Although there were still quite a few golden fruits in the reserves, Lu Yuan dared not use them lightly.
After all, these golden fruits could be lifesavers if we really encountered any trouble. It would be such a waste to use them on a minor wound.
The water was over 20 meters deep, and the group quickly floated to the surface.
Lu Yuan looked up at the sky and suddenly realized that the brightness around him was enough for him to easily see hundreds of meters away.
A beautiful sunrise appeared on the distant horizon, looking absolutely stunning.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"The Earth appears to have resumed its rotation!"
"Yes! The Earth's rotation speed has increased significantly recently! However, according to our computer analysis, it's practically impossible to return to the previous state. It will take at least five years for the Earth to complete one revolution around the sun, and the rotation speed will also be affected, taking about one revolution per week!"
Xiao Shan explained to Lu Yuan as she took off her diving mask.
Lu Yuan nodded gently, a hint of anticipation on his face: "I hope this day will come soon! It's been so long since we've seen the sun!"
"Yes! It's been almost a year! Although we've spent most of this year in the dimensional space, we haven't seen the sun yet!"
Several people couldn't help but look at the sun a little longer. Then, Lu Yuan led everyone to continue swimming towards the core fortress.
The closer you swim to the fortress, the more floating corpses you find in the water; you can even see the carcasses of pigs, cattle, sheep, and poultry lying on the surface.
Because they had been submerged in water for a long time, the skin of these floating corpses had completely rotted. The parts above the water surface looked white, but the parts below the water were rotten.
Moreover, a foul stench emanated from the water, making one feel nauseous.
Lu Yuan reached out and grabbed a floating wooden stick, then used it to remove all the floating corpses blocking his way.
The group continued walking until they finally arrived at the location of the fortress's roof, which was only half intact.
The roof of the fortress has long since been torn off.
There are also many boats nearby salvaging things in the water.
Moreover, those who are alive cannot leave; they are all forced to live in this body of water, and no one can escape this hopeless and endless existence.
Many rafts floated on the water, with tents set up on them to protect against the cold wind.
Although the sun has come out, the temperature here is still not very high, with the highest temperature only reaching less than ten degrees Celsius. In addition, a light drizzle is still falling, making the place feel damp and chilly.
When Lu Yuan arrived at the fortress with his family, the people on several rafts popped out of their tents to take a look at them.
Lu Yuan seemed to remember these people, since they had all lived together for a long time and he had basically met them all.
When the group saw Lu Yuan, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in their eyes.
There seemed to be a teenager who glanced at Lu Yuan for a while, but he was quickly pulled inside by his mother.
Lu Yuan also looked at the other person. The boy was very thin, and the skin on his hands was basically just covering his bones. It looked like there was no flesh at all.
Lu Yuan could only sigh softly, expressing his gratitude to them in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.
At this time, flaunting wealth would be a very dangerous thing.
Since everyone is struggling to get enough to eat and wear, if you show off more than others, you're likely to attract unwanted attention.
Lu Yuan led his family to continue swimming forward. After arriving at the center, they found that there were far fewer rafts there than before.
"How about we dive down here? We can leave two people up here to keep watch!"
After glancing at it, Lu's father and Xiaoshan's father immediately nodded.
"We'll stay up here! You guys go down! We know most of the people in here! If anyone really tries to make a move, we're still capable of fighting them!"
Lu Yuan nodded gently: "Okay, Dad, be careful! Be safe!"
Xiao Shan's father sighed, then gripped the gun tightly in his hand: "Don't worry! We'll be careful. But you two, be extremely careful when you dive! Don't be careless! I've heard there are quite a few undercurrents underwater, so you must be very careful!"
"Okay, we understand!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan handed a new oxygen cylinder to Xiao Shan from the dimensional space.
"Get a new one! Otherwise, we might not be able to hold out for long!"
As Lu Yuan spoke, he tied a sturdy rope to the rope around Xiao Shan's waist.
After all, underwater is not very safe, so this method is an excellent way to prevent people from getting lost.
Then the two of them fastened their locks to the ropes connecting them to Xiaoshan's father and Lu's father and began to dive underwater.
At a depth of 20 meters underwater, that's basically the maximum depth a person can dive to.
The water pressure here is very high; it's practically impossible for someone without special training to get here.
