"Signal incoming."
"...The principle is similar to the small fan on the airplane, but they call it a ramjet underwater turbine generator. In fact, it just changes the working environment... How is it? Is it effective?" Political Commissar Xiao started talking to her as soon as the communication was connected, but the previous content was not recorded.
"Let me see. Now I can communicate, check the exoskeleton history log, and get short-term power assistance. Can this thing also charge the energy pack? Is the power so high?" Jiang Ling replied.
"Use it sparingly. Once our speed slows down, you'll realize how useless it is. And we'll be there soon." Lao Xiao gave her good news.
After a while, the two finally arrived at the location Jiang Ling had "seen," but there was nothing there. Lao Xiao, thinking he'd come to the wrong place, opened the inertial navigation coordinate chart and the system's built-in scientific calculator and began to manually calculate the track.
Jiang Ling spread out his spiritual power, but he couldn't find even a single fish within a radius of two kilometers.
Her sixth sense detected something amiss, and she inexplicably asked Lao Xiao, "I have a question. Is it possible, I mean possibly, that No. 509 can dive to 2,000 meters underwater, or even deeper?"
"Impossible! Don't even think about it! Unless it has been sunk." Lao Xiao temporarily put aside the calculation formula on the visor and tried to find evidence to refute her, but the current situation was really bad and he couldn't get much meaningful information.
Jiang Ling also did not want No. 509 to be sunk. She now doubted whether what she saw was real. Although it would not be a repeat of the "Meat Mountain Incident", this mysterious situation was indeed difficult to get a reasonable explanation.
At a certain moment, she had the urge to overturn the table and quit - the human body was still too weak, and if she wanted to break free from the shackles, she would definitely no longer be a human being!
Has it really reached the point where we have no choice but to do so?
No, of course not!
Just as the two were wondering, Jiang Ling's abdominal viewfinder, which had never been closed, captured several bright spots suddenly appearing below.
Before they could react, the shock waves spread from underwater to the surface like rapidly growing bubbles and hit the two of them.
They suddenly felt the pull of gravity, falling downwards in this artificially created spherical vacuum. But before they could adjust their posture, they were immediately swept away by the receding seawater.
Jiang Ling immediately felt like she'd been struck by a nuclear weapon, but what happened next was completely different from her previous experience. The power of those several underwater explosions was much greater than that of tactical nuclear weapons, but far from the level of strategic nuclear bombs. Moreover, they lacked the electromagnetic pulse characteristic of nuclear explosions and were more like some kind of high-powered explosive.
"...Fuck...Code's secret weapon! It's an antiproton fish...Puff..."
The furious roar of Xiao Zhengwei reassured Jiang Ling that her experience was sound. But she didn't have the leisure to dwell on such sci-fi equipment. Without the buoyancy of her equipment box, she was immediately dragged into the bottomless darkness by the weight of the exoskeleton.
The sea water blocked Lao Xiao's call, and the communication signals between the two people appeared and disappeared from time to time. After a sharp electric sound, their signal was completely disconnected.
Jiang Ling felt the illusion of familiarity again. The day's experiences seemed like a lifetime ago. Like most ordinary people in the world, life goes round and round and back to the starting point, and every day is a repeat of yesterday.
History is a circle, and so is her memory. If you enlarge the circle, it becomes a line; if you shrink it, it becomes a point.
Fortunately, she won't regret it for the time being. Her circle is big enough and she can always find a fork in the road.
During this new round of free-sinking, she reviewed her previous conjectures, introduced a new variable, and crossed out several interesting conjectures.
The weapons they used were a crucial piece of intelligence. It not only allowed one to judge the intensity of their battles, but also to analyze the basic situation of both sides from multiple angles.
Putting aside the question of why the people in Unit 509 chose such an outrageous thing as a weapon, just from what one of the crew members had revealed earlier, that they had fought back and forth with the marine creatures, it was clear that the war potential of the urban area was not much different from that of the mutants.
Weapons, like tools, always evolve during confrontation, and two opponents of comparable size will inevitably choose similar tools. This demonstrates that the Countermeasures Bureau is well aware of the "Sirens" and values their tactical power. Jiang Ling has worked with them several times and knows they won't resort to their ultimate means right out of the gate.
If those things were not such a big threat, they would not apply to use those antimatter weapons. You know, the current urban areas cannot produce too much antimatter.
Of course, the way the weapons were used was also worthy of scrutiny. Jiang Ling confirmed that he "saw" them stop here, but the reality was that they were not here, and this place was within the range of the explosion.
There could only be one reason for this: she was looking at historical data.
It’s just that we don’t know how long ago this history was. Strictly speaking, any information technology is the application of historical data.
There is always a delay in real-time communication, and telepathic messaging is not instantaneous.
Perhaps, those mutants have evolved the ability to store thoughts, and then through interspecies symbiosis, using biological signal amplifiers, they can concentrate the memories of discrete individuals in some secret place and then use them in a unified way.
