Chapter 276: Below the Ocean
Translator: _Min_Editor: Rundi
After taking the equipment from Jiang Lin, Jiang Chen returned to the mansion. He snuck into his own bedroom before traveling back.
When he looked at the time coming out of the washroom, it was already two in the morning.
After quietly getting into bed again, Jiang Chen looked at the tranquil face and rhythmically pumping chest before lying down beside her and closing his eyes.
The next morning.
Although he slept late last night, when the first ray of sunshine cast into the room, He was the first one up.
As he got out of bed, he didn't wake Liu Yao up as he only left a message on the table before putting on a shirt and leaving.
After taking a taxi to the rural area east of Auckland, Jiang Chen walked along the coast before he found the fishing farm on the map.
He dragged the owner of the fish farm out and without wasting a single word he directly pointed at the boat parked on the dock and asked for the price.
Although the New Zealander first insisted that he was not willing to sell, when he heard Jiang Chen raise the price to ten thousand NZD and pretended to leave, the brown-skinned old fisherman dragged onto him signaling it was a deal.
Ten thousand NZD was enough for two boats, especially since his boat has already been used for over a year.
After completing the transaction, that guy gave all the documents and keys to Jiang Chen.
As to if Jiang Chen had the proper license, he didn't ask. He only taught Jiang Chen for 30 minutes on how to drive.
It was simple to maneuver the boat. Under the directions of the old fisherman, they took a ride into the nearby sea as Jiang Chen learned how to drive.
However, when the old fisherman got out, his eyes were full of concern. But Jiang Chen was unbothered. He opened the GPS, pushed the speed of the boat to its maximum and headed for the waters northwest of Jackson Port.
The Hauraki Bay today was still pleasant.
Because he didn't encounter any big waves, with Jiang Chen's brute way of pressing on the gas, he managed to arrive without flipping the boat.
When the boat passed through the same area as yesterday, without any surprise, the EP with the fourth-dimensional messenger received the same mysterious signal.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen immediately slowed down. With one hand firmly on the wheel, he stared at the changing signal intensity on the EP.
After wandering nearby for a while, Jiang Chen finally chose three points with the same signal and drew it on the map.
What happened next was much more straightforward.
Through triangulation, Jiang Chen quickly confirmed the approximate coordinates of the signal's source.
”Done!”
Jiang Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead, threw the pencil to the side as he memorized the coordinates.
”H?” Jiang Chen stared at the EP screen as he barely made out a blurred out word.
But because it was too blurred out, he could only recognize the initial letter.
”Is it that hello?”
As he muttered to himself, Jiang Chen shut off the gas.
He took out the K1-b kinetic skeleton from the storage dimension and put it on.
<Oxygen: 100%
Structural damage: None
Airtight: Normal>
He glanced at the panel on his right arm. After confirming all stats were normal, he walked to the edge of the boat.
”I hope there is no wind.”
He took a deep breath and dove into the water.
...
Pooch.
Followed by the rising air bubbles, Jiang Chen gradually descended to the deep sea.
It was the first time he attempted diving away from the shore. When they were scuba diving near the Great Barrier Island, they saw the corals on the seabed two to three meters down. But now, the only thing below him was vast darkness.
The light and sound surrounding him began to fade. The deepness and silence, only unique to below the sea, gradually spread around him.
<Current elevation: -20m
Distance from the sea floor: 71m>
”So fu*king deep.” Jiang Chen looked at the panel and cursed.
