Chapter 370: Chapter 356: Escape

The immense pressure in the deep sea finally found a release, as tens of thousands of tons of seawater surged into the door in an instant, forming a massive vortex. The floating containment pod, like a stone in a flushing toilet, spun wildly and was sucked into the door along with the water.

Shortly afterward, the door slowly closed, then disappeared, and everything returned to peace as if nothing had happened.

Meanwhile... in the northwest region of the Pacific, near the coast of Seattle, a tremendous wave surged straight into the sky from the ocean surface, as if shot by a high-pressure water cannon. As it fell, it caused a giant wave that rushed toward the embankment, and a white cube-like container was also pushed up into the air and then carried along by the wave to the shore.

Luckily, this coast was surrounded by reefs with no scenic views, and at this late hour, there weren’t many people around. Several citizens jogging on the distant embankment heard the loud noise and were frightened, but couldn’t see anything in the darkness. Feeling uneasy, they turned around and ran back. Therefore, this astonishing scene went unseen... and no one noticed the washed-up containment room lying silently... motionless.

After a long while, there seemed to be the sound of a door lock being opened from inside... Immediately after, it was yanked open, and a blonde, tall Western man supported himself, scrambling out of the door with urgency.

As the door of the containment room was facing upwards, and the steel bars inside had been disconnected from the main building, they had been pulled out one by one by the drunkard. He had barely climbed out of the hatch...

"Ugh"—he leaned forward and vomited.

Just then inside, a group of people were like thrown into a tumbling washing machine, spinning and colliding with clanging noises, and it was only thanks to those present enduring it, otherwise there would have been a disgusting scene of continuous vomiting, with filth and people mixing uniformly in the enclosed space. Oh, by the way, that large coffin was connected to the wall material, otherwise, the people inside would have been broken apart earlier!

minutes later

"Ugh—Ugh Ugh—Ugh Ugh Ugh Ugh—"

At the shore, seven people of varying sizes stood in a line, continuously vomiting. Nearby, a giant eyeball "sat" on the ground, wobbling and trying to roll a few more turns because it was round. So just now in the containment room, it was spinning the most merrily, and since it had no eyelids, unlike others who could close their eyes, it had to keep its eyes wide open... Oh dear... it was so disoriented by the time it stopped.

As they vomited, the group probably emptied their stomach acid before they could gradually straighten up.

"Hey nurse, aren’t you flying the ’cure all’ banner here? How come you still get dizzy by your side—ugh"—the postman gasped, trying to speak to catch his breath.

The nurse wiped her mouth: "I heal injuries, what can I do if you get dizzy? If I could cure that too, why would I drink alcohol every day? I wouldn’t even get drunk!"

"Uh, that makes sense... ugh! If you can’t get drunk, then you’re the first person I should stay away from!" responded the drunkard, suddenly interested at the mention of alcohol.

"Well, no matter what, we finally escaped." Bai Xiong, still robust, was almost entirely recovered: "But what the hell is going on? How did we get from the seabed to here?"

"Hmm... I think I know!" Locksmith hesitated, then suddenly answered, "A few months back, ’Guardian’ had me make a giant door 25 meters tall, 18 meters wide, and even fit it with a lock."

"Are you saying we got here through that door? Then how did that door end up at the seabed?" Bai Xiong questioned.

Locksmith shrugged: "As long as A-ming and ’Guardian’ get together, sending a door to the seabed is really no big deal."

Before he could finish speaking...

"Ugh Ugh—"—Chen Xiao was still vomiting nearby but seemed unable to resist adding his two cents: "Then why bother with such a huge ordeal? Ugh~ Can’t you just carry a door on your back before making a run for the Pacific Division? Look how dizzy it was! Ugh~"

Locksmith immediately shook his head: "It’s not that simple. Until a door is opened, the two spaces cannot be connected; they must be completely isolated on both sides, which means the door must be intact, without any holes. We didn’t know what the situation was like beforehand, and carrying a door in might have ended up ruining our only way out if it had been damaged!"

While Locksmith patiently explained...

"Rather than all this, I think... maybe we should discuss a more pressing issue." Song Xuan interrupted the discussion, slowly walking up to Chen Xiao, then drawing a dagger! Behind him, Lin Fan also followed, his face filled with anger.

"Hey! What are you doing?" Chen Xiao immediately realized things were bad.

"Heh, you really have a poor memory, eh? Remember not long ago, you had a gun pointed at all of us." Song Xuan said with a smile.

"Ah?? Isn’t that pretty normal? In extreme conditions, everyone needs a way to fend for themselves, right? You would have done the same!" Chen Xiao quickly shouted to the others, "Hey, aren’t you guys going to break this up? This woman’s going to kill me!"

However, no one spoke... It seemed everyone was quite angry at Chen Xiao for his betrayal at the most critical moment.

"Indeed, self-preservation is understandable, but seeking retribution seems to be a rightful act too..." Lin Fan said menacingly, his hand cracking ominously.
