Chapter 242: Old Acquaintance
Translator: LimostnEditor: Tennesh
The next day, Chen Feng formally went underwater.
In an unexpected twist, as this news was released to the public, it raised an uproar on the internet. Countless people were requesting links.
”Do you know what go underwater 1means?”
”No.”
”Chen Feng went underwater.”
”What, he’s filming that stuff?”
”…”
Similar conversations were happening everywhere.
Fortunately, the new camp project of the Genetic Union was announced soon after. With that, the public found out that Chen Feng was actually going underwater as an explorer to reconnoiter the terrain there. Finer details of the project were not announced for now.
”So it’s this version of 'went underwater' they were referring to.”
”The Genetic Union is opening a new camp?”
”I’m totally looking forward to that!”
Everyone’s emotions surged. This was one of those pieces of news that couldn’t be kept secret even if they wanted it to be, as the Frozen Sea Tundra was currently under the attention of a lot of people due to the Qin Hai incident.
Currently, countless experts of the Genetic Union were flooding the Frozen Sea Tundra, creating quite a scene there! Without a care about the Mysterious Organization, they blockaded the entirety of the huge frozen sea. Countless experts surrounded the sea, providing the most optimal environment for Chen Feng to go underwater.
In actuality, the Genetic Union had long ago developed a submarine that could survive the dissolving power of this frozen sea. However, their biggest problem was the fact that these submarines they'd developed would be attacked after going underwater.
After all, these submarines were alien existences for the life forms in the frozen sea. Moreover, some of them even viewed these submarines as threats!
Hence, that bizarre purple energy of Chen Feng's had now become extremely useful. To be safe, this time around, Chen Feng would be using a true miniature submarine to go underwater. All sorts of monitoring tools and essential items for daily life had already been prepared in the submarine. Apart from that, an endless supply of energy would be supplied to Chen Feng. The only thing Chen Feng needed to do was use his purple energy to keep this submarine safe.
Initially, Chen Feng had been planning to bring Qin Hai along. However, as this mission wasn’t issued to Qin Hai, he wouldn’t be receiving any rewards for his participation, and he wouldn’t be of much help anyway, Qin Hai had ultimately decided to stay back and continue trying to change Zuo Xiao Rou’s mind instead.
Naturally, based on her current circumstance, the more accurate term for what Qin Hai was attempting was instigating a rebellion against the Mysterious Organization.
Chen Feng alone had enough tasks to keep him busy. Besides that, he was truly not well versed on the operation of a submarine. Hence, the Genetic Union had arranged for additional manpower to go down with Chen Feng. However, exceeding all of Chen Feng’s expectations, the additional manpower sent to him was actually his old friend!
”Xu Fei?”
Chen Feng was somewhat dumbstruck.
Why would this guy be here?!
He had initially believed that he would never have a chance to cross paths with Xu Fei’s group ever again.
”Hehe.” Xu Fei was behaving somewhat awkwardly. Only after some casual chatter did Xu Fei tell him what had happened.
So it turned out that, after going his separate way from Chen Feng previously, he'd felt that his strength had been too weak and his speed of improvement too slow. Hence, he'd started crying for help by pestering his family without stop. Since his family was still considerably wealthy, they had finally exhausted countless financial resources to help Xu Fei join the Genetic Union as an employee in the hope that he would have some fortuitous encounter in the process.
Normally, he wouldn’t get any chances to do anything. However, for this mission, everyone else was unwilling to come and take such a risk. As such, he'd managed to grab a spot in this mission.
Chen Feng: ”…”
What could he say to this? This guy had truly pushed himself hard.
”You actually regrew your hair.”
Surprising Chen Feng, after a while of not seeing Xu Fei, some hair had actually grown on that bald head of Xu Fei's. Currently, it greatly resembled a military-style short cut.
Xu Fei was feeling proud. ”I have finally broken the curse your family’s loli cast on me!”
”Be careful lest you got burned once again,” Chen Feng said petulantly.
Xu Fei responded with an awkward laugh: ”Hehe.”
Soon, the Genetic Union finished their preparations.
Clang!
Clang!
One after another, huge apparatuses of the Genetic Union were placed near the frozen sea.
Hum—
A multitude of light screens appeared. On these screens was all the data those apparatuses detected.
”Data matching…”
”Matching complete.”
”Submarine inspection…”
”Inspection complete.”
”Test recording…”
”Test complete.”
…
One green light after another lit up.
Finally, all the tests were passed.
”Everything is operating normally. We can start.”
”Good!”
”Hua—”
The submarine split the water apart as Chen Feng started sinking underwater within that submarine. Just as those from the Genetic Union had said, this submarine indeed survived the dissolving power of the sea.
