522 Alien Mutation (1/2)
”And down we go,” said Jiang Fei as he braced himself for what was to come.
Jiang Fei had to use the sword to descend instead of just swimming because of the travel distance. It would take a long time if he had swum instead of relying on the speed of the sword.
The suit that 0541 had provided had a built-in breathing mechanism. The further Jiang Fei descended, the higher the pressure pressing on him.
”0541, how far had we dived?”
The light of the afternoon sun was bright on the surface but where Jiang Fei was, he could only see the sun as a tiny dot of light. The pressure around him was getting higher as well.
”We are only 250 meters below sea level. At this point, any human would have already perished under the immense pressure,” said 0541.
”Damn… I'm feeling it now though…” said Jiang Fei to himself. The pressure he felt was so strong that it was like being under a huge bus.
”There's nothing to worry about, Captain. I am constantly monitoring your health. This pressure might be fatal to ordinary humans but you are not ordinary. Think of it this way, this condition serves as good training!” said 0541.
After diving for about two minutes, Jiang Fei's vision had started to become a blur. Even though his breathing was unaffected, there was the unpleasantness inside him that he could not explain. That was the differences in atmospheric pressure acting on him.
After a few more meters, Jiang Fei started to feel dizzy. He could not breathe for a moment. In an instant, a blue light faintly appeared around Jiang Fei's body and the unpleasant feeling subsided.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
The blue light was a barrier that 0541 had created only to protect Jiang Fei. Even though the blue faint light was really dim, it was a beacon of light in the shadow that was deep under the sea.
At most, Jiang Fei could only see five to six meters ahead of him. The rest was complete darkness.
At this point, the barrier's strength was not set on maximum. Jiang Fei's vision was not fully restored and the pressure acting on him was still there. Now, even Jiang Fei, a Metahuman could not move around freely.
”Give me a rough estimate time of arrival to the Bridge,” said Jiang Fei.
”Half an hour or more, Captain,” said 0541.
”Half an hour…”
After fifteen minutes of diving, Jiang Fei could not even see anything. Even with the light shining faintly in the dark, Jiang Fei could not even see his feet. At this point, the barrier 0541 had erected for Jiang Fei was set to the maximum power. He felt completely fine then as he had gotten used to the immense pressure. He did not know how deep he had dived but he knew that he had dived really deep as the regular fishes had decreased and more and more large sea creatures were spotted.
”Warning! Warning! Critical threat detected approaching at high speed!”
Suddenly, out of the eerie silence, 0541 blared loudly.
”What's going on?” cried Jiang Fei as he prepared for the worst.
”Warning! Warning! Critical threat detected! Target approaching us! Evasive maneuver advised!” 0541 exclaimed in its system-monotonous tone.
”Where? Where should I go?!” shouted Jiang Fei, louder than 0541 could.
”Immediate ascension toward the surface is advised!”
”Alright!”
Jiang Fei immediately took the hoverboard from his feet and directed it upward to the surface.
