Chapter 362: Chapter 350 Peeping

"You make a good point, but look at those sealed chambers, they’re all very intact, so I can’t help but feel there might still be some survivors,"

Shitou pondered as he touched his chin and looked at the entire floor of crew cabins and the seemingly unscathed sealed chambers, "Even factories operate on a three-shift system. Could these one or two thousand people also have been rotating shifts?"

"Discussing this now is pointless. If there are survivors, well, where are they?"

Lu Yun looked at Shitou, "Could they all have gone ashore? Even if they did, where in this vast world should we start looking for them? I have received no information whatsoever about this in the messages. Maybe the previous owner of the space was just more of a loner? She had her space, and the Plant Clan people for company, she could hide in her space to refine Elixirs during long interstellar flights... There are so many possibilities."

Shitou fell silent.

"Alright, let’s not think about this for now. We should hurry up and get a few suits on and head out. It’s almost time to set off," Lu Yun said as she pulled on him and checked her plum blossom watch on her wrist.

"Let’s go," Shitou nodded in agreement.

It was still the same group as last time. Halfway through their journey, they switched helicopters, but ultimately, the same helicopter from their previous trip brought them to their destination. The pilot hadn’t changed either.

The only difference from before was that this time they didn’t transfer to Capital City to stay.

After notifying the people staying on the island, the two of them took a seven-day supply, put on their protective suits, and, hand in hand, entered the sea and descended to the ocean floor as if returning to a well-known path.

Nearing the spaceship, Lu Yun and Shitou suddenly turned their heads to look in the same direction.

"It feels like something is spying on us."

The two looked at each other, and Shitou quickly understood Lu Yun’s lip movements and nodded. He released his spiritual power but found nothing.

Hand in hand, they circled around the nearby area, which was eerily quiet, not a single creature in sight.

"This is so weird," Lu Yun complained with her lips pursed, "I clearly felt something spying on us. How could we have not found it?"

Shitou chuckled and pulled on her, feeling that the "thing" that had been spying on them was no longer around. He made a pre-agreed gesture with Lu Yun to enter the space.

Communication was not convenient underwater with the protective suits on, and transmitting messages through spiritual power consumed much more energy than on the surface. Fortunately, Shitou could understand lip-reading, so as long as Lu Yun spoke, he could understand her, but when he spoke, Lu Yun could not read his lips.

"It looks like I need to learn lip-reading too," Lu Yun muttered as soon as they entered the space, taking off her protective suit.

"Lip-reading isn’t hard to learn. If you want to learn, I guarantee I can teach you quickly," Shitou also removed his protective suit and thoroughly checked it, feeling odd that it lacked communication equipment for them to talk to each other.

"What are you looking for?"

"I find it strange why it doesn’t come with a communicator?"

"The pressure deep under the sea is too intense. Adding a communicator would significantly increase the cost, and it would add a lot of weight to the protective suit. So for the sake of lightness, they made it this way,"

Lu Yun explained to Shitou, "There are suits with communicators too, much more expensive ones. The previous owner was rather reclusive and didn’t see the necessity."

So that was the reason.

Shitou couldn’t help but shake his head and smile wryly, "She was quite economical. Isn’t she a Pharmacist? Aren’t Pharmacists wealthy?"

"She wasn’t that well-off. Most of the Elixirs she refined had to be sent back to the family, and the family didn’t just support her for nothing. You have to understand, the early stages of a Pharmacist are costly, without the almost unlimited supply of medicinal herbs from the Plant Clan in the space, no ordinary family could afford to train one,"

Lu Yun chuckled, "She also acquired the space in the later stage. She relied entirely on her family’s resources to become a Pharmacist in the early days."

"I see," Shitou nodded.

"We’ve been hiding in here for quite a while, and that thing hasn’t shown up yet. Do you think if we continue to hide, we can really lure it out?" Lu Yun carried on the conversation with Shitou while not forgetting to extend her spiritual power out of the space to observe meticulously.

The moment Shitou signaled Lu Yun to enter the space, she knew he intended to "lure the snake out of its hole."

Although they both had cultivated their spiritual power to the teens level, which could make them invincible on Earth, when compared with those interstellar old monsters who had trained for hundreds of years, their power was still not impressive, falling into the "mediocre" category.

They were still not strong enough. Without their protective suits deep under the sea, they wouldn’t last long under the horrifying pressures. Even using their spiritual power was difficult at such depths.

Creating a spiritual power shield was out of the question. They could barely use their spiritual power to look around, with a much smaller range than they had on land.

Luckily, Lu Yun’s view from inside the space to the outside was the exception and wasn’t affected by the sea pressure, her range almost as wide as on land.

If that thing was hiding, Shitou bet it was weaker than both of them; otherwise, why would it hide?

"I don’t know, we can only wait longer. Maybe it will poke its head out if it feels there’s no threat around?" Shitou could only speculate.

"Then let’s wait. It’s unsettling to not understand what it is." Lu Yun began to focus intently on the situation outside.

What could it be?

Shitou stood by, waiting quietly with Lu Yun, wholly baffled.

If it were not for the stark feeling of being watched earlier, he would almost mistake it for some deep-sea creature.

At depths exceeding 10,000 meters, lifeforms are scarce, and even if a fish or some other unintelligent marine creature were startled and hid, it couldn’t conceal itself so quickly or thoroughly. They had circled the area and even used their spiritual power yet found nothing.

As time ticked by, it wasn’t until half an hour later that Lu Yun excitedly exclaimed, "It’s out, oh my god, it’s a person, wearing a deep-sea protective suit similar to ours. It turns out he was hiding in a cave, so strange that we couldn’t detect it with our spiritual power?"

"Could there really be surviving crew members?" they both exclaimed in unison, then looked at each other in shock. It’s one thing to guess, but another to be right.

"We need to go out and see," Shitou decided promptly, "But we don’t know if the other person has spiritual power, so to be safe, we’d better keep our distance."

As they spoke, they quickly put the deep-sea protective suits back on and quietly re-emerged where they had just come in.
