Chapter 282: Chapter 280 Violating Common Sense of Deep Sea Environment_1 Chapter 282: Chapter 280 Violating Common Sense of Deep Sea Environment_1 “I have no objections, I trust Brother Shunzi,”

Dog Brother cast the first vote of approval.

He was very clear about how important it was for someone capable to lead.

Moreover, for some reason, Shunzi seemed to always inexplicably get ahold of information they were oblivious to, whether he had activated it or not.

So far, he and “Brother Xuner,” “The Warden,” and others had revisited the situation multiple times but still couldn’t figure out where Colin got some of his information from.

After he finished speaking, the employee with the username “Choosing a Name Is Hard” also expressed agreement.

“Shunzi… Brother has enough strength and experience, I agree,”

The Arsonist agreed as well, as long as he wasn’t being used as cannon fodder, he had no strong objections.

As for some promises made by Colin, the Arsonist tended to be rather trusting.

After all, based on what the employees involved in the Out-of-Control Copy incident had said, Colin wouldn’t abandon his teammates, even if they were complete dead weight; it seemed he wouldn’t discard them without good reason.

The Arsonist was quite confident in his own abilities and felt that even if there was to be a scapegoat, it wouldn’t be him.

After most had given their consent, Colin turned his gaze to the last problem child, “Surfing for Pigs.”

Seeing Colin look over, “Surfing for Pigs” didn’t seem to think too much and pressed a button on a remote controller around his neck:

“Ah, right, right, right…”

‘That you haven’t been beaten to death while using preset voice lines to communicate is a miracle in itself.’

Colin pursed his lips and glanced again at the last person, “The Light Chaser,” who didn’t seem to react.

He didn’t dwell on whether the latter agreed or not; this person’s mission here was probably different from theirs, likely here to take advantage of the situation and sell buffs.

Moreover, from the recent interaction, Colin felt that the other party didn’t seem to quite understand what they were saying.

The responses always seemed selectively addressed.

Shaking his head secretly and retracting his thoughts, Colin looked around at everyone. The reason he had to be so high-profile not only was to avoid unexpected incidents but also because he needed to be able to use “The False Powerhouse” prop when the time came.

Before his advancement to C Level, this prop was one of the core items in his possession.

He could choose not to activate the prop, but it was best to always have the conditions necessary to do so.

“By the way, you said you can fix this ship? How?” The Arsonist looked around; the submarine was currently in a scrapped or semi-scrapped state. Many things looked like submarine parts, but their technology was unclear, and he didn’t understand how Colin planned to operate.

And it was clear that being able to operate this submarine was the key to what came next.

“Hmm…”

Colin nodded, “It’s already been repaired.”

“Repaired?”

The group was astonished but before they could respond, they suddenly saw the dim hull’s lights flicker, followed by all of them lighting up, and the ventilation ducts started to operate.

Buzzing…

A slight vibration came from under their feet, indicating that this massive object floating in the water had “come to life.”

“This… the ‘Word to Action’ ability?” The Arsonist and the others were stunned.

They really hadn’t seen Colin make any moves; he just said it was okay, and the submarine was actually okay.

‘It seems Brother Shunzi has grown stronger again,’ Dog Brother thought as he looked at Colin in front of him, feeling that he was becoming more and more enigmatic.

However, faced with the confusion of the others, Colin didn’t offer an explanation; instead, he shook his head denying what the Arsonist said, and then gave the command to activate the Nano Intellectual Mechanism.

A few minutes later, everyone inside the submarine could clearly feel that the scene behind the thick windows was moving.

Dog Brother leaned against the window for a while, and judging by his own knowledge, he estimated that the submarine’s speed was about 30 knots, which was quite fast indeed.

Without any hesitation, this would be considered exceptional black technology on Earth.

Moreover, as the submarine moved swiftly, their task progression also finally began to pick up noticeably.

“Given this pace, at best two days, at worst five, we would be able to explore approximately one thousand cubic kilometers.”

Colin sat in the original captain’s seat, looking at the murky ink-green seawater outside through the searchlights.

After four to five hours had passed, besides an abundance of microorganisms and some floating debris from unknown creatures, they hadn’t seen any particularly special living things.

Without those microorganisms, he would hardly have been able to tell that his submarine was moving forward.

“This area of water exhibits abnormal gravitational pressure, based on Earth’s standards, the water pressure in this area should be equivalent to about eight hundred meters below sea level, but whether we ascend or descend, the pressure change is extremely low, almost negligible.”

“Even if we were to descend ten thousand meters at this moment, the water pressure in this area would still remain almost constant…”

“Do any of you have any thoughts?”

“I’ll play the landlord, three.”

Colin sorted the cards in his hand and conveyed the information he’d obtained from the Nano Maid to everyone; regrettably, they were still baffled after listening, as it really defied common sense.

“Could it be that we actually haven’t been ascending or descending at all? Is everything an illusion? Pair of queens.”

The Arsonist spoke up while simultaneously throwing out a pair of queens.

Up to now, whether they’d ascended or descended, they had not seen the seabed or any straits, only continuously traversing through water.

However, even before anyone could answer, he shook his head, discrediting his own hypothesis, because the task’s exploration progress at Bonfire Company had been continuously increasing, indicating they weren’t trapped.

“I’m not sure of the reason, but this means that even if we lose the submarine, we would be able to survive at the bottom of the sea for quite some time, at the very least an hour would be no problem…” Dog Brother continued.

Only eight hundred meters underwater, with their physical abilities and various means, they could hold out for quite a while…

“Ah yes, exactly,” “Surfing for Pigs” chimed in agreement.

“This isn’t very significant… I pass.”

Colin glanced at the cards in his hand and decided not to draw—let alone the deep sea, if they were prepared, they could survive for quite a time even if thrown into outer space.

At this moment, because everything related to navigating was being handled by the Nano Intellectual Mechanism and they really had nothing to do, they started to play the card game of fighting the landlord out of boredom.

Otherwise, under that indescribable pressure, they reckoned their mental state would eventually become a problem.

However, at that moment, the voice of the Little Maid came into their ears:

“The damage and repair of the submarine’s sonar system have been completed, shall we begin using it?”

Compared to light and electromagnetic means, the sonar had a significantly larger range of exploration; initiating its use would definitely accelerate the pace of the task. Colin made the decision without a second thought.

‘Use it.’

Upon receiving the command, the submarine’s sonar was engaged, low-frequency sound waves spread outwards, and during this process, the task’s progression rate suddenly more than doubled.

“It seems that the reach of the sound waves doesn’t just count as distance, but look, we should be able to complete the task within two days.”

A few minutes later, some blurry images appeared on the submarine’s display.

“Three hundred kilometers away, there are signs of a sea bottom landmass, and some unknown marine creatures have been detected around it…”

Without turning his head, Colin said this and casually threw out four nines, interrupting Dog Brother’s Shunzi.

The few people had become somewhat accustomed to Colin mysteriously obtaining information.
