You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

Lin Chen's figure transformed into a sharp arrow once again, continuing to dive deeper into the place where the source of all evil was hidden.

The numbers on the depth gauge were jumping rapidly.

Two hundred and fifty meters...

Two hundred and eighty meters...

Three hundred meters!

When Lin Chen descended to the depth he had learned during the interrogation, he finally saw the enormous creature hidden in the deep-sea rift.

It was a huge hemispherical building made entirely of high-strength titanium alloy, like a giant tumor covered with metal nodules, clinging to the rugged underwater mountains.

The surface of the base is covered with a thick layer of deep-sea sediment, indicating that it has been there for quite some time.

Only a few lookout points and airlock doors emitted a faint, eerie blue light, like the cold, wary eyes of a lurking deep-sea monster in the pitch-black seabed.

What a grand gesture!

Lin Chen hovered in the distance, and couldn't help but admire it slightly.

Building a secret base of this scale at a depth of 300 meters underwater requires financial, material, and technological resources that far exceed the capabilities of ordinary multinational corporations.

This so-called "Dark Moon" organization is probably more terrifying than I imagined, with its deep-rooted strength.

But so what?

Lin Chen's eyes remained completely calm.

He slowly approached, activating his [God-level Insight] to analyze everything around the base.

He quickly realized something was wrong.

Within a radius of several hundred meters around the base, this seemingly calm sea area actually harbors deadly dangers.

An invisible net, woven from death, has already been quietly unfurled.

Lin Chen closed his eyes.

[God-level Hearing Ability] Activated!

The entire world instantly switched from a visual dimension to an auditory dimension.

"Buzz...buzz...buzz..."

An extremely weak but highly uniform pulsed sound wave continuously emanated from dozens of devices disguised as rocks around the base.

Sonar detection array!

These sound waves intertwine to form a detection network that leaves no blind spots.

Any object of a slightly larger size, such as a submarine, submersible, or even a large fish, will have its reflected echoes captured immediately once it enters this area, thus triggering an alarm.

But that's not the most fatal thing.

Between the sonar arrays, Lin Chen "heard" more and more dangerous things.

It was an extremely subtle "heartbeat" from the internal mechanical structure of the metal, ready to be activated.

He opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as lightning, sweeping towards the direction from which the "heartbeats" were coming.

There were spherical objects disguised as coral reefs or sea anemones, quietly suspended in different layers of water.

Their shells are covered with the marks of time, blending into their surroundings, but Lin Chen can clearly see that occasionally, a faint red indicator light flashes through the gaps in their camouflaged shells.

Trigger-activated mines!

Moreover, it's the most insidious kind of intelligent sea mine, equipped with both sonar and infrared sensors.

Once the sonar array detects a target, these mines will be activated immediately and enter attack mode.

At that time, let alone a submarine, even an aircraft carrier battle group would have a hard time in this minefield of death.

"That's interesting."

Instead, a playful smile appeared on Lin Chen's lips.

This level of defense density is indeed enough to make 99.99% of infiltrators worldwide despair.

Unfortunately, he belongs to the remaining 0.01%.

Instead of retreating, Lin Chen, like a slippery eel, plunged headfirst into this deadly minefield.

He closed his eyes once more, completely entrusting his life and death to a perception that transcended human limits.

[God-level mastery of physics]!

At that moment, his brain transformed into a superprocessor that surpassed even a quantum computer.

The spread trajectory, frequency, and wavelength of those sonar pulses, the speed and direction of ocean currents, changes in water pressure... countless complex and daunting data were instantly modeled, analyzed, and deduced in his mind!

He "saw" it!

He "saw" those fleeting, narrower-than-a-hair blind spots in the sonar network caused by waveform interference!

His body moved.

That wasn't swimming; it was a kind of floating that was almost like the "Tao."

His body was completely relaxed, and with a faint, calculated ocean current, he drifted silently in the water like a lifeless leaf.

Every stretch of the body, every gentle sway of the flippers, was perfectly timed to coincide with the interlacing of the two sonar pulses.

He would sometimes rise half a meter to avoid a horizontally sweeping detection wave; at other times he would dive several feet to avoid the infrared detection range of a mine.

He danced on the edge of death, yet his posture was as elegant as if he were conducting a symphony in Vienna's Golden Hall.

The entire process was fraught with danger, yet it proceeded smoothly and effortlessly.

However, the accident still happened.

Just as he was about to cross the center of the minefield, a sudden underwater current disrupted his rhythm without warning, violently pushing his body to the left.

In that direction, a mine was silently floating.

The distance between the two was instantly reduced to less than three meters within the warning range!

The red indicator light on the camouflage shell of the mine suddenly started flashing at a faster frequency!

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

The piercing alarm sounded in Lin Chen's mind!

[God-level Sixth Sense] transmitted an intense, deadly sense of crisis, like being pierced by steel needles!

This mine has been activated!

Its internal trigger fuse will detonate the high explosives packed inside after 0.5 seconds!

Anyone in that situation would be certain death by now.

However, Lin Chen's face remained completely calm.

In that critical moment!

A terrifying glint flashed in his eyes!

[Godlike magician's hand speed!]

Time seemed to slow down countless times at this moment.

He was too lazy to even pull out his military knife.

His right hand transformed into a blur that was difficult to detect with the naked eye, his five fingers joined together, drawing an almost imperceptible trajectory in the water.

In a fraction of a second, his fingertip precisely and gently touched a very well-hidden gap in the camouflage shell of the mine.

That is the physical connection point that triggers the fuse.

His fingertips contained a precise, inch-force controlled by a master-level fighting technique.

"Pop".

A sound so faint it was almost inaudible rang out.

The fuse wire, thinner than a hair and connected to the detonator, snapped from the inside with a single point of his finger!

The red indicator light, which had reached its flashing limit, paused abruptly before resuming its previous slow and regular flashing.

Alert, all off.

Lin Chen's body brushed past the kiss of death, drifting by as if he had merely brushed away a speck of dust.

After doing all this, he slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the mine that had fallen silent again, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

A trivial skill.

A few minutes later, Lin Chen crossed the entire minefield without incident and successfully arrived at the huge, circular airlock door on the outermost edge of the base, which shimmered with a ghostly blue light.

Like a gecko, he silently clung to the cold alloy hatch, watching the complex verification device beside it.

Retinal scanners, fingerprint and palm print verification devices, gene sequence sensing locks...

The security level is comparable to that of the Pentagon's nuclear missile silos.

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow slightly.

Forcing our way in is clearly not an option.

[God-level Mechanical Mastery] told him that any unauthorized brute-force attack would trigger the base's self-destruct program within 0.01 seconds.

At that point, let alone infiltrating, he himself would be blown to bits by the giant bomb in the deep sea.

It seems we can only wait.

Waiting for someone to open the door.

Lin Chen suppressed his aura, becoming like a real rock, quietly blending into the shadows above the airlock.
