Chapter 328 Deep into the Sea



In fact, Xi Xi found a secluded and relatively gentle slope at the southeastern estuary and used the diving equipment for the first time.

These past two days, the "magic pen brings good fortune" has come in very handy. Xi Zhongcang even spent an afternoon secretly assembling the plan in the RV.

The RV slowly descended, and the surrounding light gradually dimmed, as if it were being slowly enveloped by a huge black curtain.

The family of three huddled together, holding their breath, their eyes fixed on the mysterious and terrifying underwater world outside the porthole.

The first thing that catches the eye is a group of colorful mutant fish.

These fish are so brightly colored they are almost eerie, red like fire, blue like the sky, and purple like a mysterious starry sky. They swim and dart through the dark seawater, their bodies shimmering with a faint yet dazzling light.

The mutated fish come in all sorts of strange shapes; some are as slender as snakes, while others are as round as balloons, but they all have the same thing: they are covered with sharp spines.

As the car continued to descend, some chilling sights appeared before their eyes—the wreckage of vehicles destroyed in the tsunami was scattered everywhere, with pieces of tires occasionally drifting by.

Even more shockingly, some of the mutated fish were seen pecking at human tissue next to the vehicles.

The human tissues were incomplete and floated gently in the cold seawater, while the mutated fish, like greedy gluttons, fought over this hard-won "food".

Their mouths open and close, revealing sharp teeth. Each peck brings up a small patch of blood and bits of flesh, which spreads in the seawater, forming shocking patches of dark red.

Chu Zhiqin couldn't help but feel nauseous. It would be a lie to say she wasn't affected at all; after all, Chu Wenwen was indeed her biological sister.

"What a pity..." Xi Xi said softly. Her parents looked over and were about to comfort her, thinking that karma is a cycle, when they heard her continue, "It's so badly broken that even a car can't be recycled."

"That was close! We almost had to comfort our daughter." Mr. and Mrs. Xi wiped away their sweat.

However, the sea was not as romantic as Xi Xi had imagined, at least not in this disaster-ravaged sea area.

There are no colorful coral reefs here, no leisurely sea turtles, only endless fear and the aura of death.

The descent triggered some pressure reactions.

Chu Zhiqin felt as if something was blocking her ears, and a sharp pain shot through her, and her head also felt a little dizzy.

She couldn't help but frown, a pained expression on her face, and she had no heart to think about Chu Wenwen's matter.

Xi Zhongcang noticed his wife's discomfort and gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, this is a normal pressure response, you'll get used to it soon."

Currently, the RV's windows are sealed, and oxygen is supplied entirely by an oxygen supply system.

The oxygen supply device that Xi Xixin drew is quite amazing. It is a uniquely shaped metal box with various complex patterns and indicator lights on its surface.

One side of the box is connected to several thick pipes, the other end of which extends to various corners of the RV, supplying a continuous supply of oxygen to the entire RV.

As for what kind of miniature ecosystem is inside the device, Xi Xi has no idea. All she knows is that the item description says the box can extract oxygen from seawater and convert it into clean air that players can breathe.

Once the RV dives to a certain depth, the mutated fish in the surrounding area become rare. This is the depth that Li Jinshao researched, making it the most suitable for RV travel.

Seeing that everything around her was working properly, Xi Xi gradually felt relieved and looked at the pendant that the scarred man had given her.

[Adventurer has been detected to possess the attribute cultural heritage (6/6)!]

[Game Hint: Obtaining any six pieces of the set will grant an additional bonus. Activate the set effect?]

What? This pendant is a cultural relic?! Or is it from China?

Xi Xi looked at Xi Zhongcang, who was chuckling to himself.

Dad, you're really good at keeping secrets...

So... Xi Xi suddenly realized something, seeing her father adjusting the direction of the RV before she could.

Since the scarred man possesses cultural relics, there should be at least a few of them among the higher-ups of the Wildfire organization!

Xi Zhongcang naturally thought so too.

Before the father and daughter could examine the pendant's purpose closely, they steered their RV to dive into deeper waters.

However, the underwater scene was far more gloomy and terrifying than they had imagined—a pile of various wreckages, far exceeding the number possessed by the Wildfire Organization!

Besides Liaoyuan, there were other players who perished here?!

The three of them couldn't help but gasp simultaneously.

The vehicles were scattered haphazardly on the seabed, many of them rusted from seawater corrosion, with broken windows and flat tires.

All around, there was a desolate scene.
