276 Below the Ocean (2/2)

To push away the claustrophobic sense swirling around him, he tapped the screen on his right arm as he opened the detection light on his helmet and feet.

The sudden appearance of light made the little things peacefully swimming by him flee away.

Only after two minutes of descending did Jiang Chen finally approach the sea floor.

The colorful coral reefs and fishes, as well as the water plants swaying with the flow of the sea, were magnificent under the ray of light.

But because he had already observed the beautiful feast underneath the sea, Jiang Chen didn't stop and observe the stunning scenery. He pressed the screen on his arm some more as he initiated the data transfer between the EP and kinetic skeleton computer.

The static whiteness appeared again, but the hidden letters were much more clear compared to what he saw on the surface of the sea.

”H...Help? Is the signal asking for help?” Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows as he scanned around.

Since there were no irregular items, clearly there was an error in triangulation. That was to be expected. Jiang Chen didn't have a measurement device, it was a crude calculation with pencil and paper.

Jiang Chen waved the flaps under his feet as he tilted his body downward. He circled around the area before he followed the direction in which the signal was gradually increasing.

The bottom of the sea was not smooth. Twenty meters into his journey, a pitch black valley appeared in front of Jiang Chen.

He shined the light in but couldn't see the bottom.

Jiang Chen looked at the deep abyss as he glanced at the screen on his arm.

<Current elevation: -101m

Distance from seafloor: unknown>

210m

243m

332m

...

It could not detect the bottom anymore? Or could the bottom be molten lava which would scatter the laser causing the information not to be relayed back?

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows. Whatever it may be, it was not a good thing.

Based on what Jiang Lin had said, the K1-b was designed for amphibious battle, not for deep sea diving. So a safe depth to go was only 150 meters.

Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment. Then he took a deep breath of air as he swam into the trench with an unknown depth.

Just like he expected, with his continuous descend, the signal from the EP was getting stronger and stronger.

210m.

243m.

332m, the world record for scuba diving has been broken by Jiang Chen.

...

As he felt the immense pressure from all sides, Jiang Chen clenched his teeth as he struggled to breathe in the air being pressured to the limit.

The good thing was that the compressed air in the cylinder was helium-oxygen. If it were nitrogen oxygen, once the nitrogen dissolved into his body, it would render him unconscious.

420m!

Finally, the signal began to decrease.

A delightedness flashed across Jiang Chen's eyes as he swam up two to three meters, and then began to search along the dark rock surface.

If it were not for his genetic vaccine, an ordinary person would begin to bleed due to the water pressure.

Finally, beside a jagged rock pillar, Jiang Chen saw something peculiar protruding out.

He suppressed the excitement in his head and sped up the paddling of his feet as he moved towards that pillar.

As his finger touched the cold pillar, he slightly used some force against it. With the momentum, Jiang Chen drifted behind the pillar.

Light shed onto the black metal that hasn't seen sunlight for ages.

Sea plants swayed as if the light had disturbed its peace.

”My God...”

Jiang Chen dumbfoundedly looked at the scenery in front of his eyes as he almost forgot the breath.

Just like a breeze of wind carrying Klein particles, it swept by the hidden history.

The truth gradually revealed itself.

The buried secret will once again see the light of day.
