This Game Is Too Realistic

The night is dark and the waves are rough on the sea.

Muda stood on the bow of the speedboat, staring intently at the red and green spots of light in the distance as the waves rose and fell, and memories could not help but fill his eyes.

About two months ago, it was a quiet and peaceful scene. The orange-yellow rollers rose and fell with the fluctuations of the ocean currents, and shimmered in the sunlight, just like wheat fields growing on the sea. , the rising and falling waves are its swaying golden color.

But now, that magnificent golden land has become history, just like the disappearing city of Shilong.

Scattered metal parts and burst pipelines sank into the sea together. The generating units were like wild horses that were runaway, washed to pieces by the turbulent waves, and disappeared into the endless sea.

Sometimes, Mu Da couldn't help but think.

Perhaps human beings are such unrepentant animals, they will continue to repeat the mistakes they have made more than once, and go through the cycle of destruction and rebirth again and again, and finally miss the past when everything is irreversible. time.

maybe--

The claims of the Torch Church are not entirely wrong.

If you want to eradicate the bad roots in human nature, you can only delete those despicable traits from your genes, and then ascend into another higher-level creature.

As his thoughts gradually drifted away with the sea breeze, Mu Da estimated that the time was almost up, so he took out the walkie-talkie and pressed the button.

"This is the maritime patrol. We are about to pass through the blockade area...please let us go."

A loud electric sound came from the intercom, and a rude voice followed by a long yawn.

"Patrol? What are you doing here?"

Mu Dayan said concisely and concisely.

"We have tracked an abnormal sonar signal. Just in case, come over here and take a look."

"Tuoba, do you need reinforcements?"

"It's not necessary at the moment."

"Ting, then keep in touch. If you need reinforcements, we will be there soon."

The voice echoed in the communication channel was relaxed and pleasant, and he was even chewing potato chips. There was no doubt about his statement.

It seems that after more than two months, the brothers patrolling this area have become lax after all.

But no wonder.

This ocean current power station has been destroyed, and there is no need for the submarine in Shelter 70 to launch another attack on the facility that has been destroyed once.

After the brief chatting ended, Muda hung up the communication with a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, then switched the communication channel of the intercom and lowered his voice.

"...The target is just below the buoy in front. That's all I can help you. You'd better not stay too long. I can only wait for you for ten minutes at most."

A moment later, an echo came over the intercom.

"Copy that, thank you."

"You're welcome, I wish you good luck."

After speaking, Mu Da waved his hand and signaled the pilot in the cabin to continue moving in the northwest direction and circle around the buoy not far away.

The sailor standing behind Mu Da, carrying a rifle, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but speak.

"...Why should we help them?"

This kind of thing is not without risks.

If the Federation Navy discovers that they are covering a Shelter 70 model submarine entering the wreckage of the Ocean Current Power Station, no matter how they explain it, they may not be able to explain it clearly.

Staring at the rising tide of darkness, Mu Da actually didn't understand why he agreed to do this favor.

The federation has already characterized the attack, and the conflict between the survivors on the islands and Vault 70 goes far beyond a power station.

Even if those guys from the alliance found some clues, he didn't think those clues could change anything.

That was just a trigger.

But——

He still wants to know what the truth is.

Perhaps there is another possibility that is one in ten thousand.

After being silent for a long time in the noisy sea breeze, he slowly spoke.

"It's not just about helping them."

"We are also helping ourselves."

The sailor looked at the officer's back blankly, not knowing what to say for a long time...

…

At the same time, directly below the speedboat, a drum-shaped submarine was turning its propeller and slowly moving towards the facility sunk on the seabed.

This submarine is the one that Huang Guangwei stranded on the beach before.

The researchers of the scientific expedition team not only helped repair the damaged power system, simplified the operating module, and even installed harpoon launchers, underwater grenade launchers, etc. at Si Si's request, it was airlifted from Dawn City to French fries. Hong Kong Underwater Weapons System.

Since they have not been tested in actual combat, even the researchers who installed these weapons on submarines do not know whether these things can work.

However, considering that this mission might be attacked by aquatic mutants lurking under the sea, Sisi chose to take them with him.

At the same time, she also prayed silently in her heart——

Hopefully these guys won't be needed on this mission.

"It's really spectacular here..."

Sitting in the cockpit, Ness turned on the submarine's searchlight, followed the camera with his eyes, and carefully inspected the nearby metal wreckage.

I saw a ring with a diameter of more than ten meters deeply embedded in the seabed. In the middle of the ring was a huge metal impeller. At this moment, these impellers, like the metal brackets outside, were all wrapped around runaway cables. It's like being pulled by seaweed and sinking a ship.

This should be an ocean current power station, a submarine turbine generator, and a floating generator that floats on the sea and has been washed away to an unknown location. It should belong to different power systems.

There are dozens of similar turbine generators nearby, and this is only the part she can see right now.

Countless metal wrecks are scattered on the rocky seabed, and colorful fish pass through the dark shadows from time to time.

This place does not look like the wreckage of a power station, but like an underwater city sunk to the bottom of the sea.

Looking at the area lit up by the searchlight, Tail, who was sitting in the passenger seat, opened his mouth in surprise, and from time to time he let out an incredulous exclamation.

"I giao..."

This realistic light and shadow effect!

This flowing texture details!

And this can be called CG-level scene modeling!

It’s so shocking!

It's a pity that VM didn't have a signal, otherwise she really wanted to share the scenery here immediately with Sesame Paste and Rourou who stayed on the shore, and everyone on the forum.

"A weak electric current was detected outside the submarine. It seems that there are still a few generator units still working... No wonder no alien species are seen here."

After taking a look at the buzzing alarm on the central control screen, Sisi operated the searchlight and camera to the left side of the submersible and quickly locked onto an area with no fish activity.

That's probably the source of the leakage.

After marking the area on the map, Sisi turned over the book and pointed at the screen with his index finger. He set a safe route, controlled the submersible and carefully circumvented the area, and continued Move towards your goal.

Based on the information provided by the resident of Vault 70, the NPC of the scientific expedition team not only helped draw a three-dimensional model of the wreckage of the ocean current power station, but also made an exploration path and data collection plan in advance, greatly reducing the amount of manual operations.

After arriving at the target area, she only needs to make some improvised fine-tuning of the route based on the on-site conditions.

This task is actually easy.

So much so that she was thinking that before she finished exploring this ruins, she could stop by the coordinates of the sunken research ship "Golden Coast" to check out the coordinates.

Unlike Sisi, who always had something to do, Sisi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was looking out the window of the cockpit with excitement on his face, wishing he could weld his face and nose to the window together.

His appearance, which showed no sense of tension, did not look like an investigator on a dive mission, but more like a tourist here for sightseeing.

It wasn't until the submarine drove under a turbine generator that she suddenly remembered that she was on an ongoing mission and looked at Sisdao excitedly.

"That's right Si! How should we investigate next?"

Staring intently at the three-dimensional map model on the central control screen and the green dot indicating the current position of the submarine, Sisi took a deep breath and said.

"It's simple. Arrive at the designated area on the map, release the detector, wait for data collection, and then recover the detector."

"Eh?!" Taili looked at Sisi in surprise, "Is it that simple?"

"It's not that simple. There are a lot of dangers here... Isn't it a big deal to be simple? Why are you so disappointed?"

Sisi glanced at Awei hastily, looking at this guy with a regretful face, he couldn't help but make a helpless expression.

Meeting those helpless eyes, Taili stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head, smiling awkwardly.

"No way! Of course it's a matter of course to make it simple. But if it's like this... doesn't it mean that we don't even need to leave the cabin?"

Sis thought for a moment and said.

"Probably not necessary."

"Well!"

Tails showed a deeply shocked expression on his face, looked at Sis pitifully, and repeatedly confirmed, "But... is it really okay if you don't check it carefully? What if there are any clues left behind? In the belly of the fish or behind the reef——"

"How could there be such a thing?" Looking at this whimsical guy, Sisi couldn't help but complain, "Do you think this is a crime scene from a detective novel?"

For nearly two and a half months, the Federation of the Southern Islands must have conducted a careful investigation and search of this sea area.

In this case, it is unrealistic to expect to find any clues that have been missed by the Federation Navy. The most promising clues are those that seem ordinary.

For example, power station operation data, etc.

What the Alliance's scientific expedition team is best at is digging out clues from massive amounts of data. If there are any suspicious clues, they can tell them at a glance.

After learning that there was no need to leave the cabin for investigation, Ah Wei was immediately deflated and sat listlessly in the co-pilot's seat.

Sisi glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but ask.

"... By the way, this is the bottom of the sea that is more than a hundred meters deep. Aren't you afraid at all?"

Tails gave her a strange look and tilted his head.

"Fear?"

"For example...a phobia of the deep sea."

Looking at Sisi, who was staring at the central control screen intently, his tail seemed to have guessed something, and the corner of his mouth gradually turned up into a narrow smile.

"Oh! My tail is white! Sisi's weak point is the bottom of the sea!"

"What kind of weakness is this? And how is it possible...what's there to be afraid of?"

Sisi was stunned for a moment, and almost blurted out his retort, but the gaze that was fixed on the central control screen seemed unconvincing.

It was rare to see my friend look so embarrassed. The teasing smile on Tai's face became more and more obvious, and the corners of his mouth turned up more and more undisguisedly.

"Then take a look out the window!"

Sisi immediately refused without thinking.

"I don't want to look at the screen the same way."

"Just take a look!"

"Sorry... stop making trouble, Awei, we're at the place, it's time to get down to business!"

While talking, Si Si glanced at the parameters in the upper left corner of the central control screen and hurriedly took a photo of the launch detector button.

I saw a metal ball the size of a basketball ejected from the belly of the submersible gas, flying to the metal debris more than ten meters away with a lead.

The metal ball is getting closer and closer to the interface, and it is about to get closer.

However, at this moment, something embarrassing happened.

I saw the metal ball floating forward suddenly shuddered, and was caught by the straight lead.

Sisi's expression froze, and he hurriedly looked at the parameters on the central control screen, saying something bad in his heart.

Still a little far away...

Just when she was about to operate the submersible a little closer, a sudden inrush of ocean current blew the detector holding the data cable upward, and it hung on a propeller leaning on the metal debris. on the leaves.

The trailing lead detector was like a pendulum, making several circles on the propeller blade, and the lead wire was completely wrapped around the blade.

This time the difference is more than a little.

Noticing that Si Si's face was gradually becoming more and more serious, and Tai Tai had also put away his joking expression, he asked cautiously.

"Si, what happened?"

"Nothing, just a small problem. I made a mistake just now and the detector got stuck on the blade. Someone has to go over and pick it off from the blade...Awei, wait here for me."

After all, you still have to wipe your own butt.

After taking a look at the deep darkness outside the cockpit, Sisi swallowed and gritted his teeth and reached for the seat belt.

It’s actually not that scary…

She muttered silently in her mind, trying to convince herself that everything around her was just a game model and there was nothing to be afraid of.

Just when she finally made up her mind to unbuckle her seatbelt, she saw Taiyu stand up from her seat, open the metal cabinet in the cockpit, and dig out the fully enclosed deep-sea diving suit inside. .

It only took less than a minute to put on the diving suit, and gave Si Si a thumbs up with great enthusiasm.

"Is it OK to just remove the detector from the blade? Oh my god!"

The guy looked like he was rushing to go swimming, and there was no sense of incongruity in changing his decompression diving suit into a life buoy.

Sisi looked at her blankly, and after a while he whispered.

"...Are you okay?"

Tails grinned.

"It's a piece of cake!"

After saying that, she walked backwards into the buffer warehouse, made a playful salute gesture, and closed the buffer gate cleanly.

The seawater pouring into the cabin filled the buffer cabin, and then the outer door slowly opened outward.

After spitting out a long string of bubbles, the tail wearing the thick diving suit stood at the edge of the hatch and kicked its legs, slowly floating out of the cabin and moving towards the detector wrapped around the blades of the turbine generator. Passed.

This work is indeed not difficult to say.

It can even be said that it is enough to have hands.

However, Sisi, who was sitting in the cockpit, couldn't help but sweat for Awei.

The deep darkness was like a monster's bloody mouth. I don't know why this nervous guy wasn't afraid at all.

Just as she was thinking this, an energetic voice came from the communication channel.

"Oh! It's been unlocked... Si! What's next?"

After coming back from his daze, Sisi quickly stretched out his index finger and pointed at the central control screen.

"Ah, just move the detector to the interface. I'll send you the location."

"receive!"

After confirming the position of the interface through the visual window of the helmet's eyepiece, he clamped the detector under his elbow with his tail, then started the small propeller installed on the back of the diving suit with a hiss, and swam towards the marked position. .

It was a terminal welded to a metal bracket.

The screen has failed, but the wiring is still intact.

The tail brought the detector over, and soon two mechanical arms stretched out from the sides of the metal ball, grabbed the terminal, and fixed themselves firmly on it like a spider.

Then you just need to let it finish it by itself.

Tails let go of his hand and floated back a short distance, watching the little guy connected to the terminal operate and connect the thread originally connected to the terminal screen to his round body.

Sisi, who was sitting in the cockpit, breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the progress bar on the central control screen.

"Data transmission is in progress...it will take about 5 minutes. Ah Wei, how is the situation over there?"

The tail floating next to the detector waved its arm vigorously towards the bright searchlight, and then a dull voice came from the communication channel.

"Oh! Everything is normal. It's so quiet here!"

It always felt like something bad was hidden in the dark waters, Sisi said worriedly.

"The detector has been connected...Awei, why don't you come back first."

"Don't worry, I'll wait until the data transmission is completed. What if something unexpected happens?"

"Probably...it won't happen." As he spoke, Sisi swallowed unconsciously.

However, the imperceptible pause was heard by someone on the other end of the communication channel.

A narrow smile suddenly appeared on his face, and Tails said with a mischievous smile.

"Eh? Could it be that Sisi is scared?"

Sisi was stunned for a moment, and his face turned red as soon as he realized what he was doing.

"What are you talking about? I, I have nothing to be afraid of!"

His right hand touched his tail under the heavy decompression helmet, leaning against the metal bracket, and made a motion of rubbing his chin with his index finger.

"It's a bit strange. Si Si, who was fighting in the uterus, is actually afraid of something!"

"What kind of room! I'm in the pathology department!"

Listening to the voice coming from the communication channel, Sisi explained in a dumbfounded manner. However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sudden call of alarm.

"Si! There's something down there!"

Sisi was stunned for a moment and quickly sat up from the chair.

"Are you kidding? Don't be kidding at this time!"

"No, I'm serious. It seems like there's something really there... Also, look around with your searchlight, don't point it at me!"

Almost as soon as Ah Wei finished speaking, a slight tremor penetrated through the bilge of the submarine and climbed up to her ankles from far to near.

Sisi was suddenly startled, as if he realized this mistake that he shouldn't have made, and quickly lowered the searchlight and shined it directly below the submarine.

That beam of light was like a sharp sword piercing the darkness, piercing into a dark abyss.

The moment she illuminated the abyss, she discovered an amber pupil hidden in the huge rock basin, staring at her intently.

The eye was as big as a truck.

Gray-black tentacles as thick as buckets floated behind it, like vines wrapped around the wall, covering the rocky seabed.

When did this guy move here? !

Or should I say...

It's all there!

A bone-deep cold crawled up Sisi's back.

The fear of the deep sea and the tentacles were compounded together, causing her to even stop her heartbeat for a moment.

The tremors transmitted through the cabin became more and more intense, and the seawater around the submersible seemed to be boiling.

she knows--

That was the silent roar of this deep-sea beast!

"My giao! Tentacle monster?!"

The sound of the tail made Sisi wake up suddenly, and she roared loudly almost reflexively.

"Awei! Protect the detector!"

When she finished speaking, she decisively cut off the traction rope between the submersible and the detector, regardless of the progress bar that was already halfway there.

Facts have proved that her judgment was correct.

Almost as soon as she cut off the traction rope, a roaring black shadow hit the side of the submarine.

The submersible hovering next to the wreckage instantly rolled and flew out like a golf ball that was knocked away. It did not stop until it hit a metal support heavily.

The metal bracket was bent due to the impact, and an overwhelmed creaking sound came through the bulkhead of the submarine, as well as a muffled sound that landed on the top of the submarine.

Shaking his groggy head, Sisi reluctantly woke up from his coma. With his remaining consciousness, he adjusted the output power of the power system to the maximum, and drove the submarine away before the alloy structure above fell. Dangerous area.

Almost as soon as she drove less than ten meters away, rolling mud swayed not far behind the submersible, and the collapsed metal fragments slowly but surely buried the rocks below.

If she hadn't reacted quickly enough, she might have been in danger.

"call……"

Sisi, who was leaning on the seat, was breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling violently.

There was no time to hesitate, and she stared intently at the central control screen with the traffic light flashing wildly. The searchlight and camera she operated quickly scanned the seabed below, while circling towards the north side of the ruins, she hurriedly searched for traces of the sea monster. .

The guy seemed to have disappeared and disappeared.

But Sisi knew very well that that guy was definitely still around here, and he was hiding somewhere near the ruins of the power station!

"...Tail! Are you okay?"

There was no answer on the comm channel.

Scattered metal debris was scattered everywhere, as well as cables floating around the turbine generators, creating a natural shielding field.

"cut……"

Gritting his teeth, Sisi punched the armrest of the chair, then extended his index finger to tap on the screen, resetting the route back to the center of the ruins.

The data transfer has not yet been completed, and the original data is still stored in the detector.

If it is transported bit by bit through small water pipes with wireless transmission, the huge data may have to be transmitted until the end of the year of the monkey.

Not to mention possible packet loss!

The only way now is to take the detector back.

It seemed that she sensed the movement on the bottom of the sea. Just as she rushed to the center of the ruins, the NPC named Mu Da sent a communication request.

While staring at the dark seabed warily, Sisi reached out and pressed the switch on button.

Almost as soon as the communication was connected, the roar of fried wheat reached her ears.

"What are you doing?! Testing nuclear weapons?!"

There was no time to be indifferent with this guy, so Sisi took a deep breath and focused on the key points.

"Monster! There is a sea monster here...with many tentacles! It's somewhere under the ruins of the Ocean Current Power Station!"

The other end of the communication channel was stunned for half a second.

"Sea monster?! How is that possible! The large alien species will not approach that area at all. There are still generators operating there——"

Sisi: "That's the problem! Because of the current, fish usually won't enter the ruins at all, but something forced that big guy to stay inside. I suspect it's starving to death... I think it's psychic interference, you What do you think?”

Muda exclaimed.

"Psychic interference?! How is that possible!"

Si Si: "No time to explain...the thing that controls that thing should be nearby. Do you have any way to locate other mind interference devices? If you can, it will be of great help!"

Mu Da roared and shouted: "Don't worry about the mind interference device for now, come up here right now!"

Listening to the NPC's anxious voice, Sisi said calmly.

"My teammate is still down there, and I will never abandon her. And the detector... I have to get that thing back, even if I die!"

"Are you so crazy?! That's our war! It's ours! You don't have to risk your life for it!"

Standing on the speedboat, Mu Da's eyes widened, his right hand holding the walkie-talkie tightly, and he roared with all his strength.

However, there was no echo from the other end of the communication channel, leaving only deathly silence.

The noisy waves were like rapid drum beats, drowning the white foam that kept pouring out of the sea.

He couldn't understand.

What are these guys doing so hard for?

They have known each other for less than half a month!

And this short half-month can't be said to be very pleasant.

I don't know how many people are waiting to see those people's jokes, and I don't know how many people want them to get out of here immediately and go back to their wasteland.

Mu Da gritted his teeth and tightened his grip on the echoless walkie-talkie in his hand.

Talk about ending the wasteland...

Who cares about that kind of thing!

At least here, no one cares at all!

After taking a deep breath, Mu Da suddenly seemed to have made up his mind and turned around and shouted in the direction of the cockpit.

"Turn off the mind interference device!"

The sailor standing in the cockpit was stunned.

The mind interference device is their tool to drive away alien species.

If they turned that thing off, they would be at risk of being knocked over at any time.

"But--"

The sailor tried to dissuade him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was turned back by the officer's roar.

"I said! Shut down! Now!"

"Yes!" Facing the officer's murderous gaze, the sailor did not dare to hesitate. He could only hastily turn off the mind interference device and silently pray in his heart that no alien species would target them.

Mu Da quickly walked into the cabin, pushed him away, and stared at the terminal screen.

After the mind interference device was turned off, there was silence on the screen, as if it was broken.

Mu Da held his breath and waited anxiously.

At this moment, an undetectable ripple suddenly appeared on the screen as quiet as water, just like a dragonfly crossing the water.

The moment he saw the ripples, his heart suddenly jumped to his throat.

That's the signal from the mind interference device——

Really? !

It was not only Mu Da who was shocked, but also the sailor standing next to him, with incredible shock on his face.

The only mind-interference device in the dozen or so radius was on their speedboat.

Where does the signal come from? !

"Lock its position!"

After saying these words, Mu Da opened the door and walked out of the cockpit, shouting at another sailor on the speedboat and continuing to shout.

"Depth charge ready!"

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, the sailor swallowed and nodded quickly.

"yes!"
