The rate of erosion in the sea has accelerated again. I wonder what level of precipitation the acid rain is, that it can penetrate the vast ocean.
The seawater before me, set against the backdrop of red coral, presents an eerie yet magnificent color, as dazzling and terrifying as a poppy.
Valerie perished in this deadly current, her eyes filled with regret.
If Sallyman hadn't told her beforehand, Xi Xi probably would never have understood the source of the intense resentment and anger in Valerie's eyes.
After all, for a normal person, without absolute certainty, they would never be so reckless as to seize someone else's resources. Xi Xi felt that Valerie's attitude towards her wasn't one of fear, but rather a kind of inexplicable resistance.
“She started targeting me from the very first day I joined Clinton,” Sulliman said slowly, a hint of helplessness in her voice. “At first, I was completely baffled and didn’t understand where her malice came from.”
"Until that day, I saw the medal that the organization publicly presented to her as a special agent in recognition of her merit..."
The game world is very different from reality; what is displayed on the screen is always the real name, not a code name.
The name Valerie was clearly meant to conceal something, and her real name was Xue Panzi.
Xue Panzi… Xi Xi couldn’t help but sigh. This name was so ancient that she had almost forgotten it.
Isn't she the eldest daughter of that patriarchal old Deng family who ran away? Pitiful and despicable.
Sulliman learned from Clinton’s longtime employees that Valerie’s rapid rise to power was not only due to her ambition, but also because she had no ties to the world.
She could lure her compatriots into this bloodthirsty organization without a shred of guilt, and even hated her own bloodline and nationality more than anyone else, as if these were the root of her suffering.
“But she made a mistake.” Salman’s voice was slightly lower. “Her experiences caused her to lose her sense of self. She was too much like someone living for others, thinking only of the future… just like I used to be.”
“That’s completely different.” Xi Xi shook her head disapprovingly. “There’s always a reason why someone is pitiful, and there’s nothing to sympathize with. When she gets ruthless, she does things that are utterly inhuman…”
Life is tough, everyone has their own troubles. If a principle is flawed, there's no excuse for it.
Li Jinshao handed over all the high-pressure water crossbow launchers and deep-sea cutting saws he had collected to Xi Xi.
Tonight, he used the special effect of the six-piece Ancient Seal set, Ranged Warrior, to fight against the Clinton organization alongside Xi Xi and Xi Zhongcang, which consumed a lot of his energy. He had just helped apply a thick layer of whale brain oil and whale fat to the newly joined submarines, so he really didn't have the energy to test them one by one.
“Some are only half left… but I think they can be preserved and their properties cloned using weapon fusion runes.” Li Jinshao took a big gulp of the lemon-flavored sparkling water that Xi Xi had brought him, which relieved his fatigue and heart palpitations.
Cheng's parents, having served as a logistics hub for Coral Sea, did not expend much energy. They volunteered to help inspect and categorize useful supplies, including the belongings left behind by Xue Panzi and his group.
Cheng's mother even drew inspiration from the arm armor worn by Clinton's members, and excitedly discussed with Chu Zhiqin whether they could install hidden weapons on the newly fabricated diving and thermal insulation two-in-one bodysuit.
Xi Xi, Cheng Xu, and the Liu sisters then joined Sally Mann in thoroughly searching the five submarines that had been seized from Clinton.
The cold metallic touch traveled through the thin gloves to her fingertips. As soon as Xi Xi stepped into the entrance of the main control cabin, she felt the peculiar smell in the air and the low hum of the circulation system.
"Sister, are you... okay? Why don't we do it?" Cheng Xu was a little worried about Xi Xi. After all, as the one who cast the shielding spell, Xi Xi had expended a lot of her luck and shouldn't be moving around.
Xi Xi waved to him, understanding his concern, but the amount of luck points she was wasting was insignificant to her: "It's alright, let's keep going."
The main control room was far larger than one could imagine; it was less like the core of a submarine and more like a plantation crammed into a steel cage.
According to Salliman, Clinton had an unwritten rule when new members joined the organization: all their vehicles had to be handed over.
It is conceivable that these seemingly magnificent submarines are actually the result of the collective efforts of ordinary people.
After the vehicle underwent three modifications using diving equipment, it was able to be customized in two ways: either retain its original appearance or be integrated into a submarine.
Submarines have a higher hydroelectric conversion rate, which is why many of Clinton's current units primarily operate by water.
Led by Shaliman, Xi Xi and her group continued forward.
Instead of precision instruments, rows of planting lights now hang overhead, emitting a blinding white light.
These fill lights were exactly what Xi Xi had wanted, but unfortunately, Miaobishengfu's warehouse didn't have any of them.
Under the lamplight, corn, eggplant, radish... various crops are planted in separate plots, with thick stems and half-ripe fruits pressing heavily against each other.
The rich, unique scent of the plant filled the air, and it was strangely nostalgic.
"Good heavens..." Liu Enxi was also seeing this for the first time, and her exclamation echoed in the empty cabin, "Is...is this still a ship?"
“The main boat is just a work boat; this is all public area.” Sallyman was still a bit socially awkward around the others, so she pointed to the sign above her head and turned to Xi Xi to say this.
Thanks to Chu Zhiqin's timely assistance, her injuries had completely healed. Sallyman deftly took out a stack of notebooks from the cabinet and handed them to Xi Xi. The notebooks were filled with dense records of planting zoning plans.
