Chapter 460: Volcano

"We are the torpedoes?" Lin Xian asked, puzzled.

Ding Junyi adjusted her glasses: "For a professional organization like the Foundation, the action plan certainly wouldn't be based on experience or on-the-spot reaction. If it's an evacuation plan, it must have accurate action parameters. Assuming we launch torpedoes, we wouldn't rely entirely on improvisation, right?"

Lin Xian was stunned for a moment upon hearing Ding Junyi's words. He subconsciously wanted to ask, but saw Ding Junyi standing before him looking at him calmly. He then frowned and reacted to these words.

"Smart."

Lin Xian's brows relaxed. He immediately activated his Mechanical Heart to open the watertight door ahead and then walked quickly toward the torpedo room.

He had a strange thought at this moment, so he couldn't wait to verify it.

Soon, Lin Xian arrived at the torpedo room. Looking at the dozens of large torpedo launch tubes densely packed, he directly used his mechanical ability to connect the information of all torpedo tubes to the panel and open them. Then he came to the nearest one and took out his mobile terminal to attempt data export.

Beep, beep.

After a period of waiting, Lin Xian completed the data analysis. At this moment, he saw a strange piece of data on the screen and his eyes lit up immediately.

"Sure enough!"

These strange data were nothing else but the pre-set launch parameters of these bait torpedoes. Where each one was to be launched was already set. This indicated that the submarine's action route should be a fixed or predetermined route; it was absolutely not about trying their luck on the seabed.

This discovery immediately cleared up Lin Xian's confusion. He had always wondered before: were the people from the Shengcheng who entered and exited Haiyan Island all suicide squads? Daring to go deep into the center of this hunting monster tide to execute missions—wasn't that a one-way ticket?

But looking at it now, it wasn't. The people from the Shengcheng not only knew how to come, but were also clear about how to leave this island, and all of this was based on the experimental data obtained by the Foundation from monitoring the Uniga-1 at the isolated island base.

"All bait torpedoes have pre-set launch data, indicating that they are very clear about the information of each energy-release port and the territorial sea areas of large strange entities. At least, the hydrological information of this sea area is mastered. So they know how to leave. This might be an opportunity for us!"

Ding Junyi stood behind Lin Xian and said quietly: "Even if this point is confirmed, there are still two problems."

"First, how to determine this path? If it's only deduced based on these fixed coordinates, the results will have large deviations. Now that the biological density in the Haiyan Island sea area is so high, rushing out to sea blindly has a survival rate of almost zero."

"Second, this is the submarine's action path. We are a train group, and the Falcon Sea Group is a surface fleet. Clearly, our vehicles cannot achieve this."

Lin Xian summoned a batch of PX05 robots to help him start exporting the pre-set data of each torpedo. At the same time, he turned back to Ding Junyi and said: "Having an evacuation path in such an area is in itself an unreasonable thing. The situation deep underwater is strange and hard to find. This Foundation and the Shengcheng must have something special about using a fixed path. Let's find it out first, combine it with some conventional hydrological information of the nearby sea area to make a comparison. Maybe there will be a harvest. At worst, there is still a former Foundation safety supervisor here."

"In addition," Lin Xian turned back to look at Ding Junyi and said in a deep voice: "Who said we can't go underwater?"

Ding Junyi was slightly stunned upon hearing this, looking at Lin Xian with three parts of surprise and seven parts of eagerness. She was silent for a moment, then said directly: "Very exciting."

"Deep sea?"

"You."

Lin Xian was ashamed.

Ding Junyi said bluntly: "I can help."

Lin Xian looked at Ding Junyi's expression and immediately cleared his throat: "In what aspect?"

"Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Wrongs," Ding Junyi's glasses flashed under the lights of the torpedo room: "Give me some time, I should be able to make it bloom into a flower bud."

Lin Xian's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Good, then..."

Rumble!

Just as Lin Xian hadn't finished speaking, a violent tremor rang out. The black water of the underground deep-water port surged crazily. The nuclear-powered submarine docked at the shore floated and sank constantly, and the interior was shaking even more.

In the torpedo room, Lin Xian grabbed Ding Junyi, who was standing unsteadily, and then four spider stabilizers extended from his back to lock into the channel to stabilize his figure. Feeling the unprecedented vibration outside, Lin Xian's expression darkened, and he immediately said:

"So fast?"

Lin Xian shouted that it was bad in his heart. It was still a few hours before dark, but the situation seemed to have reached a point where it was already uncontrollable. He had originally wanted to monitor the changes in the energy-release port, then attempt to stabilize the geothermal heat device through his mechanical ability, including dealing with the upcoming darkness.

But the vibration before his eyes gave Lin Xian an ominous premonition immediately: that submarine volcano might have reached some critical point.

19:32:45

Looking at the countdown before his eyes, Lin Xian's brain operated at high speed. What did this represent? Could it be that the current disaster had nothing to do with this countdown?

"If it erupts, crustal movement will release energy at all release ports," Ding Junyi said hurriedly to Lin Xian at this time:

"Including our geothermal well here!"

Rumble!

At 15:06 PM, beneath the mid-ocean ridge seabed in the sea area southeast of the Haiyan Island continental shelf, lava gushed along the ridge fissures, tearing the seabed into dark red cracks like spider webs. A large amount of boiling water flow rich in sulfides collided with the magma, steaming up brown-yellow smoke columns that obscured the sky and sun. Bubble groups rolled up like boiling liquid glass. Wherever they passed, countless strange entity sea monsters and water insects were instantly carbonized into black fog.

The entire Haiyan Island east coast sea area seemed to be cooked by a giant god. Countless steam domes with a diameter of a hundred meters broke through the waves. The high-temperature water vapor collided with the cold air to form a thunderstorm cloud wall. In the sky, purple-red lightning meandered and burst in the turbid cloud layer. The storm rain curtain wrapped in volcanic ash began to obscure the sky and sun.

The sea was surging, like the end of the world. In the giant waves raised, terrifying underwater black shadows appeared from time to time. The air on the sea surface was solidified by the salty and fishy scent. At this moment, the submarine base was shaking, the lights were flickering, the condensation pipes burst in the vibration, and the salty seawater mixed with rust slag poured into the corridor.

The members of the Infinite and the Falcon Sea Group gathered in the hall all changed color, as if facing a great enemy.

"How could this be? The Garan Volcano has already started to erupt?!"

"Isn't there still more than ten hours?"

"What a joke, that was just the stability threshold of that device, it has nothing to do with the volcanic eruption!"

"Quick!" Chen Sixuan was already fully armed at this time. She led the people on the vehicle into the hall and shouted to the people of the Falcon Sea Group: "We will seal all the upper channels to prevent strange entities from infiltrating through the flood discharge channel!"

"If we seal everything, how do we get out?" As soon as these words were spoken, Azir from the Falcon Sea Group looked puzzled and said solemnly: "Our fleet is all at the port!"

"Azir!"

Ryan immediately interrupted him: "Do as she says. We are in the same boat as the Infinite now. Consider how to survive tonight first; ignore everything else."

Azir opened his mouth, then immediately gritted his teeth, turned around, and rushed toward the upper level with his people and Chen Sixuan's side.

"We will go help too." Qian Dele looked at the flickering lights overhead, his expression sinking. He also called out Shu Qin, Lv Chang, and Luo Yang to set out.

"No!!"

Fragments and dust kept falling from the ceiling. At this time, in the monitoring hall, the alarm red light kept flickering. Kiki looked at the values on the monitoring screen, and her expression changed drastically immediately:

"The geothermal well has flooded past the safety line. We must find a way to stop it."

"Where is Lin Xian?" Mo Nika asked.

"We go first!" Kiki stood up directly: "Long Zhijie, let's go together." ===== CHAPTER 461 =====
