Chapter 288: Chapter 286 Cultist Colin_1 Chapter 288: Chapter 286 Cultist Colin_1 “Whoo!”

Little Fist Stone now appeared directly in the water, intending to let out a loud yell, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he swallowed a large gulp of sea water.

“Pfft!”

Spitting out the seawater, it swiftly made its way in a specific direction, its two enormous arms churning like propellers.

Eight hundred meters of water pressure hardly affected it at all.

In fact, its movements underwater were even more agile than on land.

Colin stood in the captain’s room, holding a thermos in his hand, while gazing out the window at the situation outside and making a rough judgment:

“The total number of enemies is around two to three hundred. Roughly four of us taking action, two hundred against four, the advantage is ours.”

Apart from Naming is Hard, the others could all transform directly into their beast forms, so the water pressure wasn’t much of an issue for them; and combined with some personal gear, they weren’t afraid of the submarines’ attacks. The whole process could be described as a unilateral crushing.

“The people from ‘World Code-4’ can hold their breath for an impressive amount of time, seven or eight minutes without any assistance. And their skin is really white… Is it due to the lack of light or some other reason? Is this place just the deep sea?”

Colin mused curiously for a moment. So far, their own experience has been such that whether they were ascending or descending, they could never see the seabed or the surface, always remaining at the “depth” of “eight hundred meters of water pressure” by Earth’s standards.

“Speaking of which, ‘World Code-13’ also features a rather unique astronomical phenomenon, with a clear distinction between day and night. Here, however, it can almost be said to be an endless stretch of water.”

“The company seems to have a say in ‘naming’ things, like ‘Box Garden World’, ‘Script City’ and such. I wonder if this ‘World Code’ has some other significance…”

“Tsk, but I don’t know about the rest. One thing I can be sure of is if there’s no hidden meaning, then judging by the sequence, there are at least thirteen ‘World Codes’…”

Colin pursed his lips, beginning to be curious about what the other worlds looked like and also how Earth was named within the company…

Besides, as far as he could tell, the company’s employees didn’t all necessarily come from Earth.

The Light Chaser who had joined their team this time was one example.

“No, not just whether they are from Earth, they might not even be human.”

Colin looked around the captain’s quarters and did not see The Light Chaser, but combining that with the report from the Nano Intellectual Mechanism that they were unable to find his physical body, it was highly probable he wasn’t human.

After all, since his appearance, the individual had been invisible. If it was the effect of a tool, it would have lasted too long.

The great likelihood was that it was a special trait of a non-human species…

“Speaking of which, why is such a strong employee still F Level to this date? Could it be true as he says, that he isn’t good at combat but only proficient in survival techniques and buffing? And so he is stuck?”

Colin thought about it carefully, it seemed apart from that time in Passionate Paradise where he used some unknown method to either lure or force the creature to leave, he really hadn’t seen The Light Chaser use any legitimate offensive methods.

Moreover, considering the honest and simple nature of the people from ‘World Code-13’ who never lie, it might actually be that he was telling the truth.

However, Colin didn’t continue to dwell on this issue, as the battle was about to end.

Smiling Mountain of Corpses went after the pirate leader’s submarine alone and brought back all the key targets.

At this moment, the water in Colin’s thermos was still warm.

Sometime later, as prisoner after prisoner was captured and brought onto the Deep Sea Unicorn Whale where Colin was, harsh shouts resonated within the cabin:

“Hands on your head, squat in the corner, don’t move!”

Dog Brother, with a somewhat androgynous voice, sharply scolded the prisoners in the cabin, causing rows of pirates to squat trembling in the corners of the submarine, not even daring to breathe too loudly…

Because these pirates knew all too well that the individuals behind them were exceptionally bloodthirsty and brutal; they looked like people, but they were definitely not human!

It was as if some kind of “sea wolf” monster covered in seaweed!

“Which one of you is the leader?”

Colin sat at the forefront of the captain’s cabin and asked.

As his words fell, there was no response. Colin frowned, pulled out his pistol, but it was at that moment that a man with short limbs but very muscular, much like a dwarf, seemed to finally not be able to stand the pressure and spoke with a trembling voice:

“I am…”

Thinking of the monster that had burst in earlier, he had none of his previous arrogance and did not dare to hide.

“Do you know where there is a human settlement?”

Colin spoke calmly, without too much emotion, flipping the gun in his hand.

Although he was in a different world, fortunately, a bullet could still make a pirate reform and start anew.

“I know, I know!”

The little dwarf Peter quickly said, “I know all the seaports in this sea area. I can take you to any seaport!”

“Which is the nearest seaport from here? How long will it take to get there?”

“About four hundred nautical miles, with your vessel, it would only take less than ten hours to arrive there. If you need, I can be your navigator and take you there…”

As long as you can spare me… Little Dwarf Peter hadn’t finished speaking when Colin interrupted him.

“Good, we won’t go to this closest one. How about the other one?”

Colin directly rejected that direction. Although he did not know exactly what was there, the “Book of Fate: Fragment” had confirmed there was an issue, so naturally, they couldn’t go there.

“Uh.” Little Dwarf Peter was taken aback but said no more and continued to introduce to Colin.

The second port was quite a bit farther, about a thousand nautical miles away, and it might take a day’s time to arrive.

And while speaking, he realized that these people seemed a bit odd.

It was as if they didn’t know much about this sea area, no, about the world in general, to ask whether “Water Island” was floating in the water and if it could drift away…

The question left him somewhat speechless; any sea person should know, almost all “Water Islands” never change position unless they are destroyed—a common sense fact.

Moreover, these people would ask about such obscure words as “sea surface” and “seabed”…

Those were terms only mentioned in some Church teachings, yet in this group’s mouths, they seemed to exist for real.

In any case, Little Dwarf Peter could not imagine what the world above the sea surface or below the sea bed was like because, in his view, the world was clearly composed entirely of an endless ocean!

Because of these questions, Pirate Peter had already categorized Colin and his group as part of some insane cult.

Most importantly, he had realized that this submarine, which typically required at least fifty crew, actually had only five people on board.

This indicated that there was a not small chance the submarine was commandeered by them…
