“Underwater secret laboratory? That is very good! It is possible that we could find things that we need. Oh, can you communicate with them?” Liu Gan quickly asked, very excited about the news. Their last encounter at Green Pao Bay was a truly life threatening scenario. It was only through the Yin He’s sacrifice that there was a gain. Ultimately, they both gained in power, but lucky chances like those were very unreliable.
“I am unable to initiate conversation with them. From the perspective of the creators of these Armored Warriors, the designers deliberately made it so that communication was limited to their own species. The Armored Warriors are unable to communicate with the locals. But… we can still navigate there. I will pretend to be a part of the rescue team and infiltrate the laboratory. I will equip the Silver Armor while standing next to you. There shouldn't be any problems with deceiving them into believing us,” Yin He suggested to Liu Gan.
“Do you know their exact location?” Liu Gan asked again.
“The SOS message didn't say the exact location, but I can use three setpoints to triangulate the source. This will be my first setpoint. You can head toward setpoint B, up ahead around ten kilometers, and stop there so I can receive their message. Then I can start my calculations,” Yin He explained to Liu Gan.
Twenty minutes later, the submarine moved straight in another direction for ten kilometers, Yin He received the message at setpoint C. With the final SOS message received, calculations began. Yin He was able to easily locate the base broadcasting the messages.
With all the navigating, the submarine burned a decent portion of the gasoline. There wasn't enough fuel to reach the base and return to Serenity. Ultimately, Liu Gan piloted the submarine back to Green Pao Bay to refuel.
Upon hearing of the possibility of a deep sea expedition, the team members really wanted to follow Liu Gan and Yin He. Taking into account the weight limit of the submarine and the amount of oxygen cylinders, Liu Gan was only able to bring Han GuangMing and Zhao Meng.
“If you follow us to infiltrate, there is a certain amount of danger. If you aren't careful, you can easily lose your life. I will do my best to save you, but if I fail then you will be abandoned. This isn't an easy trip. Even if you don't come along this time, there will be plenty of other times for you to level up,” Liu Gan reassured the other non-selected team members.
Even so, not being picked was a disappointment by itself. From all prior experiences, Liu Gan’s capabilities are very strong, so if he wasn't around then there was fear of the dangers lurking everywhere.
For all the remaining team members, they were ordered not to fight amongst themselves and to protect Serenity. Then, Liu Gan piloted the submarine with Yin He, Han GuangMing, and Zhao Meng onboard.
The size of the submarine was small, but it could fit six passengers, with four sitting. The last two spots were meant to store cargo and gasoline. These were provisions meant to help prolong the journey underwater.
Even though there was enough fuel for the small submarine to travel back and forth to Green Pao Bay and still have remaining fuel for an additional ten kilometers, it was best to be prepared for the worst. Otherwise, they might be stranded in the middle of the sea without any fuel left. Then the four of them will be trapped with no way back.
