From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 333 Undersea Mission
After Lin Zeyu absorbed the third-level source essence, he couldn't wait to take out the spring water from the Moon Well and drink it down with his head tilted back.

Drinking it directly is indeed the most direct way to use the Moon Well spring water, because this is a kind of spring water full of magical energy, so of course it can be drunk.

[Absorbing the magic spring water of the Moon Well, the fusion degree of the source essence is improved, and the source essence ability obtains a divine effect. 】

[Source quality fusion degree: 100%]

[The fusion of source essence is completed, the job level is integrated, and it is promoted to the third job level "Void Hunter". 】

[Void Hunter: Lurking in the darkness, the ultimate hunter who can cross the void to hunt down targets, possesses the special ability to shoot bullets and arrows into the void.]

[Void Ballistics (Apotheosis): Shoot bullets into the void at an incredible speed. The bullets shuttle through the void and fly out at the enemy's most unexpected position to hunt down the target. Apotheosis effect: cumulative number of uses +1; total number of uses: 2 times. Maximum shuttle distance = 10 × source energy level. ]

After the source essence fusion was completed, Lin Zeyu carefully read the class data three times. Every time he read it, the smile on his face became brighter, and finally he raised his head and laughed wildly.

"Too strong, I'm going to take off!"

"What effect does the Moon Well water have?" Lu Heng knew the effect of this class, but he didn't know what the deification effect was.

The deification effect itself is random, and the chance of obtaining it is very small.

Lin Zeyu quickly replied: "Increase the number of uses. Originally, you can only fire one shot at full energy, but with the divine effect, you can fire one more shot."

Lu Heng commented: "That's really good, how far is the shuttle distance?"

Lin Zeyu glanced at his energy level and replied, "10 times the energy level, which is 400 meters."

A distance of 400 meters is not particularly far for a supernatural sniper, but it is enough to unleash the power of this class.

The bullet travels through the void in an instant, which can be seen as a bullet flashing, and the flash distance is 400 meters.

That is to say, after the bullet leaves the barrel, it can instantly cross a distance of 400 meters and then continue to shoot towards the target.

If the target is within 400 meters, the shot will hit the target.

The hit speed is equivalent to the speed of light.

After Lin Zeyu finished being excited, he began to think about how to use this ability and asked, "Am I invincible within 400 meters?"

"Almost. You can hit the target as soon as you shoot. And this ability can be used in many special ways." Lu Heng reminded.

Lin Zeyu thought seriously: "Can I shoot at the target hiding in the void?"

Lu Heng smiled and nodded, saying, "Sure. If you had this ability in the Elf World before, you could steal spirits and hide in the void. You can shoot him to death in the void. However, you need to practice your marksmanship."

Lin Zeyu clenched his fist and said, "I will practice when I get back. This class is too powerful. With the Demon Hunter's Mark, even a target with void abilities can't escape my gun."

Lu Heng picked up the cup on the table, took a sip of water, and continued, "It is because you have the Demon Hunter class that I chose the Void Hunter for you. The abilities of these two classes work together to produce a significant effect."

Lin Zeyu continued to ponder the use of this ability and asked, "You just said there are many special uses. What are they specifically?"

Lu Heng thought for a moment and gave an example of a particle:
“The simplest one is wall-penetrating shooting. Even if the bullet is powerful and can penetrate the wall, after penetrating the wall, the bullet’s power and speed will decrease, and the shooting direction will also shift.

"So after the bullet penetrates the wall, it will be more difficult to injure the target..."

Lin Zeyu's eyes lit up, and he continued, "I understand. Use the void trajectory to cross the barrier of the wall, shoot from outside the building, and the bullets will travel through the void and enter the building to hit the target."

Lu Heng then gave an example: "Similarly, you can also shoot at targets outside from inside a building. And the distance you can travel is 400 meters, and you can even snipe at targets across a mountain."

Lin Zeyu pinched his chin and continued to think: "It is indeed powerful to snipe the target across a mountain, but if you can't see the target, you can't aim at it."

Lu Heng reminded: "Have you forgotten the Eye of the Void?"

Lin Zeyu clapped his hands and said, "It's really good to have the Eye of the Void, but it's a pity that the Eye of the Void cannot be moved and can only be placed in a fixed position."

Lu Heng smiled and said, "It depends on when you can fully master the Eye of the Void."

When Lin Zeyu heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he asked, "You mean, after the Eye of the Void is upgraded, it can move?"

Lu Heng did not give an accurate answer, but said: "The upgrade effect is uncertain, but the skill effect will definitely be enhanced, and your skill will be A-level after upgrading, and the effect of A-level skills cannot be weak. Just don't upgrade to increase the skill's attack power. Upgrading function is better than upgrading power."

Lin Zeyu nodded seriously after listening: "Indeed, I don't need the attack power of the Eye of the Void when I have a gun in my hand. I will go back to practice my gun and Eye of the Void proficiency now. Don't increase the attack power when upgrading the Eye of the Void."

The B-level [Eye of the Void] has offensive power and can emit void rays to attack targets. The damage coefficient is linked to mental strength.

In fact, the attack power of this skill is quite good, and it is effective when used to sneak attack the target.

It’s just that Lin Zeyu has no shortage of means of attack. What he needs is the functionality of the Eye of the Void. If the skill is upgraded to level A and the power of the rays is further enhanced, it would be rather embarrassing.

After Lin Zeyu thought about it carefully, an idea suddenly occurred to him, and he asked, "When training proficiency, will the way of using skills affect the effect of upgrading?"

Lu Heng was not really sure, and thought for a while before replying, "It's possible, but I can't be sure. So if you want to upgrade your skills to be more functional, then train more on the functional effects, and maybe it will really affect the direction of the upgrade."

"Okay! I'll start practicing to improve my proficiency when I get back." Lin Zeyu waved his hand and prepared to leave.

Lu Heng reminded him, "Before you go back, go say hello to Luo Yuncheng. He was the one who extracted the source essence of [Void Hunter]. Although he did it voluntarily, we still need to thank him."

"Understood. I'm leaving now."

Lin Zeyu waved and left the administrative building, then asked the guard at the door and found his way to Luo Yuncheng.

……

After one month of formation, the Qianlong Special Forces has become an elite force of 50 people.

These 50 superpower warriors have the highest level of 41, the lowest level of 30, and the average level of 38, which is absolutely the peak combat power at this stage.

In fact, except for Luo Yuncheng, the lowest level is level 36.

According to Lu Heng's plan, the special forces team will gradually expand to 100 people in the future.

At present, the special operations team has just been established and there are still many systems that need to be improved, so we will temporarily recruit 50 people to form 10 teams of 5 people.

However, most of the time, special forces teams operate in multiple teams, or even as a team of 50 people.

In addition, the special forces also have a 30-person logistics team, which is responsible for the team's logistical support. The first person in charge is Wu Weibing.

Time gradually came to the middle of May of the second year since the abyss fell.

A big thing happened at this time.

Half a year ago, fog appeared in many places on the Malay Peninsula. Later, the key fog was cleared by the White Eagle Federal Military Base, so that the fog did not cover the Strait of Malacca.

Three months ago, the fog from Sumatra spread northward, covering the strait and merging with the fog from the Malay Peninsula, blocking the shipping lanes in the Strait of Malacca.

Since three months ago, cargo ships venturing across the Strait of Malacca have mysteriously disappeared.

The White Eagle Federation sent a team of psychics into the foggy area to try to clear the fog.

Initially, several fog rifts were cleared, allowing the Malacca Channel to be restored in four or five days.

Afterwards, fog appeared on the seabed, and the fog over Sumatra Island spread again, blocking the shipping lane again, and the situation was even more serious than before.

The White Eagle Federation has sent out special power teams to clear the fog many times, but has never been able to completely solve the problem.

The Malacca Seaway is one of the busiest straits on the planet, with more than 10 ships passing through it every year, and nearly 25% of the world's trade goods passing through this seaway.

It is conceivable how important this waterway is strategically.

The economic lifeline of Lion City is the Malacca Channel, so after the fog blocked the waterway, Lion City suffered a major economic blow.

Lion City’s military strength ranking is not low, ranking 26th on Blue Star, but Lion City’s land area is relatively small. It has advanced weapons and equipment, but it is small in scale, and the number of peak combat-capable superpower warriors is naturally small.

Therefore, after the fog blocked the waterway, Lion City began to spend money to hire mercenaries from all over the world in the hope of clearing the fog.

However, mercenaries from various countries and the fog that blocked the waterway lasted for more than three months, and the situation on the waterway was sometimes good and sometimes bad.

When the fog is thin, it is barely possible to pass through, but when the fog is thick, cargo ships will disappear in large numbers.

Not only other countries, but also Daxia's shipping was affected.

……

One month after the formation of the Qianlong Special Forces, Lu Heng upgraded two or three skills for all members of the special forces, and the upgraded skills were all key skills, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of these soldiers, and the training effect was very obvious. As time entered the middle of May of the second year of the Abyss, the fog crisis in the Malacca Channel became more and more serious.

Lion City has spent a lot of money, but the waterway environment has never improved.

Even the top-ranked mercenary organizations on Blue Star were mobilized, but they were unable to clear the fog.

Whether it was the "Agents" of the White Eagle Federation, the "Knights of the Round Table" of the Lionheart Empire, or the "Onimusha" of Fuso, they all sent out teams, but none of them could clear the fog.

There was even a situation where the fog struck back, engulfing a mercenary base of the White Eagle Federation, and all the mercenaries in the base mysteriously disappeared.

Since a quarter of the world's cargo passes through the Malacca Channel, the waterway is obscured by fog, and the losses caused are astronomical.

Daxia also suffered losses. After all, Daxia is the largest industrial country and export trade accounts for a large proportion of its economy.

As the fog crisis in the Malacca Strait became more and more serious, the Daxia military began to consider sending out mercenaries.

In fact.

Unofficial mercenaries from Daxia had already entered the mist of the Malacca Strait. After all, the money given by Lion City was too much.

However, so far, the mercenary organizations with official backgrounds in Daxia have not taken any action.

This afternoon.

Lu Heng received a call from Adjutant Li Guining and made an appointment to meet.

When I arrived at the Southern Theater Command Headquarters, I met Li Guining, who was dressed in formal attire.

"I just came back from a meeting. I'm so anxious to meet you. I hope it won't interfere with your business?" Li Guining said politely first.

"It's OK, nothing urgent."

Lu Heng responded and got to the point: "What's the matter that you're in such a hurry to meet?"

Li Guining was very busy recently and had no time for extra politeness, so he got straight to business: "You should know about the fog crisis in the Malacca waterway, right?"

Lu Heng nodded: "I know."

This waterway is the lifeline of world trade, and the fog crisis on this waterway has lasted intermittently for half a year. As long as you can access the Internet, everyone knows about it.

Li Guining took a deep breath and said, "This waterway has been blocked by fog intermittently for half a year, and it is rarely passable.

“There are now a mountain of cargo ships blocking the strait, many of which are from our country.

"So no matter what the reason, we have to take action, and this meeting is to discuss this issue."

Lu Heng could probably guess what he wanted to say, so he asked, "Do you want to send Long Wei to participate in the fog crisis in the Malacca Channel? Or do you want to send a special forces team?"

Li Guining thought for a moment and asked, "Do you think the special forces are suitable for this mission?"

in fact.

Regarding the fog crisis on the Malacca Channel, Lu Heng had this part in his memory, so he knew some additional information.

After careful consideration, Lu Heng nodded and replied: "Yes, the special forces can carry out this mission, and they are very confident that they can resolve this crisis.

“My advice is to take advantage of this opportunity and maximize the benefits.

"After all, the White Eagle Federation sent so many troops and spent half a year trying to solve the problem. We solved it, so we can't just take nothing for granted."

Li Guining nodded in agreement, "That's for sure. We have a series of plans, but all plans have a premise, which is to make sure that we can solve the fog crisis in the waterway. How sure are you just now?"

Lu Heng thought for a moment and replied, "It's hard to be too sure, but I think the special forces are capable of completing this mission. If they can't, I will go there myself."

When Li Guining heard this, he looked surprised and asked, "Are you not going to go in person?"

Lu Heng nodded and admitted: "The special operations team must have the ability to carry out missions independently. I can't always lead the team to carry out missions. I have weighed the difficulty of this mission, and I think the special operations team can complete it independently."

Although Li Guining was a little surprised, he knew the importance of "trusting people when employing them" and agreed: "Okay, since you are confident, then this mission will be handed over to you. Just tell me what manpower and weapons and equipment you need. The Southern Theater will fully support you."

Lu Heng thought for a moment and said, "When the special operations team was formed, we didn't consider carrying out this mission. So, the special operations team needs to add people. I need to find someone from the files of superpower warriors."

"Now you can."

Li Guining did not waste any time and turned back to his adjutant and said, "Notify Staff Officer Qi to bring the files over."

After waiting for about ten minutes, Qi Jinghui came over with the iron box notebook, entered the password to turn it on, and placed it in front of Lu Heng.

Lu Heng entered a few words "underwater breathing" in the search bar of the file, and then pressed the confirm button.

[Underwater Breathing] is a D-level skill. Its effect is to release source energy to form energy breathing gills. The breathing gills can absorb oxygen from the water and gain the ability to breathe in water like a fish.

This skill is very functional, but has no attack power and has no effect after landing. It is a skill that can only be used in specific scenarios.

After all, humans are land creatures, and those with strong combat abilities, or those who hope to become super soldiers, usually do not choose this skill.

Only those with special abilities who specialize in underwater missions would choose the skill of [Underwater Breathing].

The troop series all fight in a systemic manner, especially the navy, which has a large number of supernatural warriors with similar underwater skills.

The search yielded a large number of results, totaling three hundred files.

However, the mission this time is urgent, and it is not possible to choose low-level psychics to train slowly. High-level ones are required.

Therefore, Lu Heng clicked on the two groups of level 38 and level 39, browsed through them, and then picked out ten people: "These ten people will be transferred to the special operations team, trained for a week, and then set off."

When Li Guining saw the person Lu Heng picked, he immediately understood the reason.

This time, the Malacca Channel Fog Crisis mission may involve underwater missions.

Obviously, these ten people were selected for the underwater mission.

After reading it, Li Guining said to his adjutant, "Send a transfer notice to these ten people. There is no need to ask for their opinions. This is an order from the theater command."

"Yes!" The adjutant took the order and went out to arrange the transfer of these ten people.

"Time is tight. Let these ten people gather at the Longwei base. I will wait for them there. If there is nothing else, I will leave first." Lu Heng stood up and pointed to the door.

"Go ahead. If you need anything, just contact Staff Officer Qi." Li Guining stood up to see him off.

Lu Heng left the war zone headquarters and returned to Longwei Base. After waiting for half an hour, a troop carrier entered the base.

Ten people jumped out of the car and lined up in front of the training ground.

Lu Heng glanced over and said, "This is an emergency mission, so we have to transfer you to the special operations team. After the mission is over, you can decide whether to stay or leave. This mission is the fog crisis in the Malacca Channel, so you should understand that as long as you complete the mission objectives, you will definitely get the first-class group merit."

"Yes! We will do our best to complete the task." The ten people stood at attention and saluted. Their movements were in unison and their voices were synchronized.

"The reason I chose you is because you are good at underwater combat, but to join the special forces, you still need training. If you cannot meet my requirements, I do not rule out the possibility of sending you back to your original unit." Lu Heng said the ugly words first.

Not every one of these ten people is willing to be transferred to the special operations team.

The reason was the same as Luo Yuncheng's initial thought. According to common logic, the future of being transferred from the regular troop sequence to the mercenary sequence was uncertain.

However, Lu Heng promised them that after the mission was completed, they could stay or leave as they pleased.

In other words, as long as this mission is completed, if they do not want to stay in the special forces, they can apply for transfer.

This way, they have no motivation to slack off.

Moreover, this mission is indeed very important. It is the fog crisis in the world's first waterway. As long as it is completed, it will be a first-class merit and you will definitely be promoted.

The reason why Lu Heng chose these ten people was because he knew the key information about the Malacca Channel fog crisis in his memory and knew that the fog rift was deep under the sea.

Someone must dive to the bottom of the sea and close the abyss rift to dispel the fog.

Before setting off, Lu Heng wanted to upgrade the skills of these ten people.

Several of them have great potential and may be able to cultivate one or two ocean overlords.
