Day by day in the infinite game

Chapter 123 123. Trash Island Horror

Everyone had been busy for a long time. The ship they came on had been filled with garbage. The hazardous chemicals detector they wore still showed no response at all, which made everyone relax for a moment.

This time the two people who dived into the seabed to collect data encountered trouble.

The tube connected to the surface breathing apparatus somehow got entangled in the extended garbage. When a person who was diving felt something was wrong, he was already nearly 50 meters away from the sea surface.

Although his vision in the sea was dim, he was sure that the garbage island was not over yet.

He felt that the air in the breathing apparatus was a little thin and it became difficult to breathe. He was confused and planned to signal his companions to return in time to check the situation.

Another person not far away was not in good condition at this time.His ventilator wasn't tangled up, but his person was.

Specifically, it was entangled by a long tentacle that suddenly appeared.

As a member of a nation of big foodies who have seen the world at the dinner table, he knew with just one glance that he was being targeted by a giant octopus.

Putting aside the strange thoughts about "Octopus Meatballs" that came to his mind, he didn't know whether he should lament whether he was kind-hearted or fearless.

Based on the current situation, this big guy obviously intends to make himself its prey.

It is said that the octopus is a highly intelligent marine animal and has been called "the traitor among invertebrates", "alien species living on the earth", "primates in the ocean", etc. by scientists.

Because its nerve cells are as high as 5 million, far surpassing lobsters and even house mice, almost equal to house cats, not to mention other creatures in the ocean.

What's even more frightening is that the octopus brother in front of him has independent nerves in his eight arms and legs, and can think on his own according to an abstract command, and respond quickly accordingly.

He is also used to camouflage, and the speed of changing face and color can be completed almost instantaneously. The image of imitating other marine creatures is so lifelike that people can't tell them apart for a while.

When the man with difficulty breathing finally got closer to his companion, he also saw a huge octopus.

And his companion was being rolled up by the thick tentacles, and the more he struggled, the tighter he became.

Without any time to think more, he immediately rushed forward and tried hard to break away the tentacles entangled with his companions with his hands.

As he moved, the entangled breathing tube was tightened on the surface of the protruding garbage, leaving shallow marks.

He was completely unaware of all this, and even with all his strength, the tentacles did not loosen at all. Instead, a tentacle quickly struck behind him.

"Get away!" His companion tried his best to signal him, but both of them were wearing heavy diving helmets and protective gear, so no sound could be heard at all, and they watched helplessly as the tentacle rolled over.

The few people waiting for the shift change on the sea could not wait for anyone to come. It was already past the agreed time, and they couldn't help but feel anxious.

Data could be sent back before, but now no data has been sent back for a while.

Realizing that something might have gone wrong, several people quickly asked for help.

Accustomed to trusting our most lovable people, their first thought is to ask for help from the soldiers.

Some players who were close heard it and said they could go to the sea to check the situation.

However, when going out to sea, only eight sets of diving equipment were prepared for these six people, and the remaining two sets were spares.

This means that there are only six sets of diving equipment available, and a maximum of six people can go down to check the situation.

The two people on the seabed lost contact almost at the same time, which means they may be in danger.

The soldiers still took the lead and rushed to the front line.Four people came out, changed into diving equipment, and dived into the sea without hesitation.

The other two sets of diving equipment were left untouched for the time being, just in case.

The news here slowly spread, and Tang Qinqin and others on the other side also heard the news.

After the last game gave her special training to overcome her phobia of the deep sea, she now no longer resists the deep sea, which is full of unknowns and dangers.

Instead, it was a little eager to try.

Everyone is waiting for the latest news with their ears pricked up, looking forward to the safe return of several people.

"Beep, beep, beep..." A sharp and harsh warning sounded, and the detector carried by someone was flashing a dazzling red light, startling everyone around them.

"I'll go, there really are."

"What's going on? It's so scary."

"Would you like to go take a look?"

For a moment, everyone's hearts tightened again, but they still held a bit of luck that someone close to them went over to check on the situation.

"Hey guy, what's this?"

The person with the beeping detector on his body looked at a metal drum pulled out in front of him. The surface of the drum was stained with rust, the writing was severely corroded, and basic information was missing.

But something that can make an instrument feel like a powerful enemy must be dangerous.

"How should we deal with this?" He asked his team leader without taking action rashly.

The team leader also had a question mark on his head and a confused look on his face.

A soldier came over to check the situation and asked the surrounding players to step back and stay away.

"Qinqin, that seems to be a dangerous product that can cause radiation to your human body. It's very dangerous."

Xiao Qi said nervously.

It is now very worried about Tang Qinqin. On the one hand, it is afraid of becoming an "orphan" who has lost its owner and will be sent back to be rebuilt. On the other hand, it admits that it likes this human very much and does not want her to be harmed.

"Can the protective bracelet block radiation?" Tang Qinqin asked.

"Who knows, Qin Qin, it is always turned on at the most critical moment. If the radiation does not put you in immediate danger, it is likely that the protective bracelet will not work..." This is probably its only drawback.

Tang Qinqin quickly informed Mengru.

Looking at Mengru's confused expression, Tang Qinqin sighed inwardly, as expected.

"Xiao Qi, are other people's exclusive codes different from yours?" It doesn't look very smart anyway.

It stands to reason that the information that Xiao Qi can find can also be found by other codes.

Is it possible that the reaction speed is different?
"Of course, I am the best." Xiao Qi said proudly.

It is also a data code. When writing it, I may be in a better mood and be more attentive, so its level is obviously higher.

"That's really my honor." Tang Qinqin didn't completely believe it. After all, this code has been really naughty recently, maybe it was self-promotion.

"I have already informed the others, don't worry." Mengru came back and told Tang Qinqin.

But her expression was very serious, as if she had something left to say.

"Are those people back just now?" Tang Qinqin asked subconsciously.

"The bad thing is this. The few people who just went down have not moved for a long time, and the people over there are anxious to get angry." Mengru sighed softly, and frowned: "This shows that there is a danger under the sea that we don't know about. exists, and we don’t even know what the danger is.”

"Mengru, I want to go down and take a look." After hearing this, Tang Qinqin said, "We can't delay. I have the means to save my life. It's better to go and explore the situation first than if we don't know anything and have a black eye."

"It's not your turn..." Meng Ru quickly tried to stop her little sister, "Don't be impulsive yet..."

But when she met Tang Qinqin's firm gaze, she was stunned.The unfinished words were swallowed in his stomach.

"...Okay. Be sure to pay attention to safety!" Mengru's eyes turned red quietly after Tang Qinqin turned around happily.

She has always kept her emotions in check and doesn't show her emotions easily, and her heart is filled with worries about her friends.

But when she saw the backs of Song Yuanze and others who had no hesitation, she gradually calmed down.

As a veteran player who has been in the game for more than a year, Tang Qinqin has life-saving means, not to mention that she never fights alone.

After regaining her composure, she became the cold and calm Jiang Mengru again.

On the beach of Garbage Island, Tang Qinqin put on his diving equipment and dived into the seabed.
