Chapter 283: Chapter 281: How Do Starfish Eat?_1 Chapter 283: Chapter 281: How Do Starfish Eat?_1 “Should we go over there and check it out?”

“First, let’s use a fragment of the ‘Book of Fate’ to take a look…”

Colin had already learned from the previous conversation that, apart from the one waiting to sell BUFFs, the others were carrying one or two ‘Book of Fate’ cards on them.

These days, they’re becoming increasingly difficult to snatch, and even Colin himself had only one.

And the ‘Book of Fate: Fragment’ assigned by ‘World Code -13’ could only be used in missions and could not be taken out.

Of course, if he wanted, he could get one from the official source, but the fragments provided officially always came with a bit of “poison,” contaminating anyone except the ‘Fate Propeller’ who used them.

“I’ll do it. I have two of them.”

Dog Brother closed his eyes slightly, using the fragment to predict what might be encountered if the ship headed in that direction.

[Hours later, the submarine arrives at this piece of seabed land, and as soon as you arrive, you are attacked by a sea anemone creature hundreds of meters in size, with millions of dense tentacles reaching out for you.]

[Despite your combined efforts to kill it using various means, the submarine is severely damaged.]

[At that moment, you also realize that this is not any ordinary seabed land, but a floating underwater island in deep water, with a large number of marine creatures and a self-sustaining biological chain.]

[In the struggle with those creatures, you manage to escape with difficulty, but soon after, you are pulled back into the fray by countless attacks, and the submarine is eventually destroyed, leaving you exposed in the sea, fleeing in all directions.]

[You manage to barely survive for a while using props, and during your escape, you discover traces of civilization buildings, regrettably, they seem to have perished due to some kind of invasion.]

[You don’t know their fate, but you…]

[You die.]

[After reaching the limits of your props, your body is enveloped by a lucky sea star, and for the first time, you understand how a sea star feeds.]

…

“It’s very dangerous over there, with lots of marine creatures. Let’s take a detour,”

Dog Brother relayed the information he had received to the others.

Based on the content above, going there would mean certain death. No, to be precise, others might not be sure, but he definitely was.

“Alright, let’s take a detour.”

Colin was curious about the ruins of that civilization but their mission had nothing to do with it; there was no need to stubbornly head that way.

Under his command, the submarine did not head in that direction…

The game of cards continued, followed by more rounds and blocking.

However, at that moment, Colin’s hand, which was about to place a card, suddenly paused; he felt a danger approaching.

“Warning! An abnormal creature is approaching!”

Little Maid’s warning also reached his ears.

“Stop playing, something’s coming!”

Colin tossed his hand of cards forward with a glance, stepping up to raise the alert to the others.

“Clang clang clang!”

From outside the submarine, the sound of something chipping away could be heard.

And there was a large number of these sounds, at least twenty different sources!

“So many, and so close, yet I only noticed now. It seems the underwater environment does impose significant restrictions on me, and there’s no scent for me to analyze…”

Colin frowned and followed the noises with his eyes, sensing that these creatures were not particularly strong.

He walked swiftly toward the closest source, pressing his right hand against the submarine’s steel wall, and with his left hand on a Golden Card, a force of repulsion burst forth through the wall, pushing the water aside and revealing a strange creature in front of the glass window—

It had three pairs of blood-red eyes, skin as oddly rough as that of a stonefish, and two strong, frog-like hands, one of which held a very sturdy-looking white stone.

“Kill.”

Colin issued orders in a simple and decisive manner.

It was unclear what those things were, but there was something off about that stone—it had managed to dent the outer hull of the submarine!

On one side, Dog Brother decisively pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into his palm, after which two Four-Armed Citizens stood up from the shadows nearby.

First, their figures blurred as they ignored all matter to enter the sea, and then they began the slaughter of the monsters.

One by one, the grotesque corpses of the creatures appeared before everyone’s eyes…

Meanwhile, the Little Maid also abandoned part of the area and began operating the specially made weapons on the submarine to attack these monsters.

“They’re not particularly strong, but they are especially troublesome, and there are a lot of them,” he said.

Colin noticed that within just a few minutes inside the submarine, there were already many pot-holes.

If they didn’t stop them, it was possible that the submarine could actually be breached by those broken stones.

“Dog Brother, Wave Rider, Naming is Hard, you guys go protect the engine room. I’ll handle this side; Tao Tie, stick with me.”

To avoid any accidents, Colin moved people around, because it wouldn’t be good if the nuclear power somehow blew up.

“According to the analysis, they probably discovered us because of the ‘sonar’ and launched the attack. There are about two hundred or more of them, and in addition, many strange creatures seem to be approaching this area.”

“Can we break free?”

“We can, but we’ll need to turn off the sonar and lights and concentrate all Nano Intellectual Mechanisms on some energy transmission lines and the propellers to achieve an overburdened operating effect. During this period, we won’t be able to maintain defense.”

After all, the Nano Maid was only so big and couldn’t cover every area.

“Leave safety to us. For now, just focus on making an escape,” they said.

In a normal environment, Colin could kill these creatures easily, but the situation was special now, and it wasn’t easy for him to make a move, so it was best to avoid them if possible.

Soon, the interior of the submarine suddenly went dark as all the lights were turned off, and power converged on the propellers, which were wrapped by Nano Intellectual Mechanisms.

In the darkness, the speed of the submarine increased rapidly within a minute, leaving the chaotic area in a short time…

Due to the extremely high speed, the temperature in the submarine’s space rose rapidly due to the engine room’s overburdened operation. In the sweltering heat, everyone could still clearly feel the submarine’s incessant vibrations, like a Wuling Hongguang forced to drive at two hundred kilometers an hour, seemingly ready to fall apart at any moment.

Finally, after confirming that they had left the dangerous area, their speed began to slow.

The tension in everyone’s hearts eased slightly…

“Have we left?” a question came.

Colin turned his head to see, in the darkness, Dog Brother’s figure was approaching his own and Arsonist’s side.

“I don’t know, but there’s something I need to tell you…”

Colin faced him and said, but for some reason, right next to Colin, Tao Tie felt as though Colin seemed to be responding to the other person but was actually speaking to himself.

“What is it?”

Colin clenched his fist with his right hand, took a forceful step forward, and threw a punch at Dog Brother’s head, not holding back in the slightest.

A heavy thud.

With that, the head burst upon impact…

A fiery blaze erupted from within the corpse.

“Something has invaded.”

Amid the flickering flames, Colin turned his cold gaze to Tao Tie beside him, causing the latter to catch his breath, his hairs standing on end, fearful that the next second the punch would land on his own head.
