Chapter 462: Deep-Diving Plan

The Haiyan Island sea area was filled with ghost waves, and the sky was filled with storms. At 16:12 PM, inside the monitoring hall beneath the isolated island submarine base, the atmosphere was dead and heavy.

Everyone remained silent. The people from the Infinite quickly calmed down from their surprise. Everyone had encountered many desperate situations of nine deaths and one life. Facing Lin Xian's crazy plan, everyone was already accustomed to it, and it sounded like this was the only evacuation plan under the current crisis.

As for the Falcon Sea Group, several people were all wearing solemn expressions. Gadi broke the silence: "So, Team Leader Lin, your plan is for all of us to take that nuclear submarine and then escape from here through that 'Silent Abyss Vortex Channel'?"

Lin Xian replied: "Tracks, sea surface, sky—currently, it seems none of them will work. Except for hiding on the island to take refuge, there is no way to escape so many strange entities 'dining' here. But now, the geothermal well has become a time bomb that could explode at any time following the instability of the Garan Volcano. Hiding is no longer the best strategy. You should all understand this point."

Ryan nodded and said quite seriously: "Did you think of this plan because the Chasang Island energy-release port captured the image of the Great Ocean God appearing, so now it is an opportunity for us to pass through the mid-ocean ridge abyss?"

"Yes."

"OK," Ryan immediately pressed down his sunglasses and said decisively: "I agree with this plan."

"Ryan!"

Erika hurriedly spoke up at this time: "Even if we want to abandon the fleet and the Neptune, that submarine can't carry so many people. Or are you saying we should abandon all the weapons and supplies too?"

"That's right," Vanessa called up a piece of data: "I just checked. The Abyss-class North Wind-09 strategic nuclear submarine below has a nuclear capacity of 400 people. We have nearly 500 people here, plus heavy power armor. If everyone goes up, the burden will not be small. In this situation, even if we successfully escape, how long can so many of us survive in the Pacific without supplies?"

"There is another problem," the mechanic Azir also said to Ryan at this time: "Just said, this super vortex flow rate exceeds 40 centimeters per second, and the water depth exceeds 1000 meters. This situation is a huge test for the submarine's structural materials. Although the people from the Holy City have already walked this path, the Garan Volcano is currently erupting continuously. Water temperature and volcanic sand are both problems. In this situation, if the submarine hits a large volcanic rock or a powerful vortex, it could be directly crushed by water pressure and vortex, not to mention strange entities."

Hearing everyone's words, Ryan just raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then shrugged and said:

"Of course I know these situations, but besides the plan Lin mentioned, does anyone have a better way?" He looked at the time: "It's 16:20 now. We don't even know whether nightfall or the volcanic eruption will come first while hiding here. To survive, we need a big gamble, don't we?"

The core members of the Falcon Sea Group all fell silent. Ryan then looked at Lin Xian and said: "Lin, I have the best submarine mechanical team here, experienced. Perhaps the success rate will increase a bit?"

"Should be able to," Lin Xian replied.

"Lin Xian," Chen Sixuan also spoke at this time: "If we all use the submarine to evacuate, what about the Infinite?"

Lin Xian looked at Chen Sixuan: "I didn't say we would all use the submarine to evacuate..."

"Ah?" Chen Sixuan frowned slightly upon hearing this: "Then we..."

"We will go into the sea with the train!" Lin Xian said directly.

As soon as these words were spoken, not only the Falcon Sea Group but also the Infinite team were all shocked.

"What!? You are going to drive a train into the deep sea?!!" Vanessa's eyes widened immediately, an expression of disbelief.

"This is simply suicide!" Erika exclaimed: "A train, how is it possible..."

On this side, although the members of the Infinite knew that the Infinite had undergone deep-diving modifications, none of them expected that for this kind of deep-sea escape, Lin Xian was prepared to drive this heavy train directly into the deep sea.

"I thought you were planning to use the Sky Dome train," Mo Nika crossed her arms, and even she was puzzled.

Lin Xian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I wanted to, but in the current situation, it probably can't be used."

"Why?!" Shasha said with a face full of surprise: "We have a big spaceship, can't we use it?"

"You're stupid," Kiki floated to Lin Xian's side at this time and said to Shasha: "You already said it's a big spaceship, guess why it can't be used?"

Shu Qin and the others looked up to observe the surrounding environment upon hearing this, and Qian Dele reacted and said helplessly:

"The space in the deep-water port and the underwater channel below are too narrow, and the Sky Dome train cannot pass through?"

Lin Xian nodded and looked at the ceiling: "Yes, unless it's outside, but that's already impossible now."

The underwater channel of the deep-water port was specially built by the original military base for submarines. The giant floating craft like the Sky Dome class could not pass through at all. Lin Xian had a hard time even taking this behemoth out of the Black Star Forge in the deep-water port, let alone boarding it. Strictly speaking, there was one more method, which was for everyone to enter the deep water via power armor first, and then wait for Lin Xian to take the Sky Dome train out in the water before boarding. However, this plan was too stupid. Compared to it, directly using the modified Infinite was more direct.

Besides that, there was another reason, which was that the Sky Dome-class arsenal ship had not finished manufacturing. This unfinished starship was truly not as reliable as the Infinite.

Watching Lin Xian's side discussing the plan of the train entering the water seriously, the Falcon Sea Group looked at each other in dismay.

"Are you really going to drive the train into the deep ocean?" Ryan asked.

"Our train is powerful," Kiki responded confidently: "Don't underestimate it. This train can not only enter the sea but also rush into the clouds, and it can even wrestle with S-class entities. You don't have to worry."

"That's right!"

Lu Xingchen also stood up at this time and said heroically: "To survive in a desperate situation, one must have the courage to die and then live. We possess extraordinary divine power, so what is there to fear about ascending to the sky or entering the sea!"

Seeing this guy who was just dozing off acting so arrogant, Shasha immediately leaned over and covered her mouth to remind him:

"Brother Lin's plan is to let you sit in the Infinite and then sink into the thousand-meter deep sea, and escape by drilling into the super seabed vortex from the territory of the seabed volcano and the Great Ocean God..."

Lu Xingchen's legs went soft upon hearing this, and he almost couldn't stand. Seeing Xiaoqing's gaze coming over, he quickly steadied himself and said loudly:

"No... no problem. It's just a seabed vortex."

"Alright," seeing that the people on Lin Xian's side were all calm, Ryan clicked his tongue in wonder, looked at Lin Xian and said: "Lin, when shall we act?"

"Immediately!"

Lin Xian said decisively: "Ryan, you arrange for people to board the submarine immediately. Move as many supplies as you can. We had better set off before dark."

"Good." ===== CHAPTER 463 =====
