Chapter 369: Trying to Trick Me? Not a Chance!

At this moment, a black shadow streaked through the deep sea, speeding toward the direction where the small island was located.

The Demon Bear immediately sensed a steel behemoth passing beneath the sea surface, and a smile finally appeared on its face.

"Finally waited for you."

"This sun is about to bake the fur right off this bear."

The Demon Bear felt that the fur on its body had been scorched and curled quite a bit.

It hurriedly issued a warning.

After Ye Bai received the message, he immediately issued an order to the Heaven-Swallowing Pelican.

"Very good, finally waited for it, Heaven-Swallowing Pelican, use Space Transfer."

Just as the Demon Bear let out a sigh of relief, the space in front of it was opened.

It watched helplessly as a giant bird beak snatched it up into its mouth.

Damn it! What is this!

The Demon Bear had just finished saying this sentence when it disappeared from where it stood.

Only a large palm leaf remained, falling from the air and dropping straight onto the sea surface, where it was swallowed by passing fish.

The Poseidon submarine is a heavy-duty submarine; its entire volume is equivalent to a large cruise ship, appearing like a mysterious behemoth in the deep sea.

Its outer shell is painted a streamlined deep blue, seemingly blending into the surrounding seawater, making it difficult to detect.

The surface of the submarine is covered with a layer of shimmering special coating, which not only allows it to remain invisible in the ocean but also reflects subtle light to confuse Exotic Beasts from the deep sea.

There is a super huge drill on the top of the submarine; as soon as it is activated, the drill can turn seabed reefs into fragments in minutes.

When the drill is activated, it forms a Water Tornado with massive suction.

Some water-type Exotic Beasts that cannot dodge in time are also sucked into it by the drill and turned into minced meat.

The submarine's coating also contains the remains of high-level Exotic Beasts, emitting the pressure of high-level Exotic Beasts, which, combined with its massive size, is formidable.

Wherever it passes, even ferocious Exotic Beasts scatter, not daring to clash with it.

Along the body of the submarine, rows of precision observation windows and sonar detection instruments are distributed.

These observation windows allow the researchers on board to conduct deep-sea research.

The sonar detection instruments can be used to detect whether there is danger ahead; after all, activating the drill once consumes one-third of the submarine's energy.

The sides of the submarine are equipped with retractable mechanical arms, used for collecting seabed samples or clearing potential obstacles.

At the tail of the Poseidon, a pair of powerful thrusters are equipped; they are like the tail fins of a whale in the deep sea, propelling this massive steel giant to swim freely in the silent deep-sea world.

Inside the command cabin of the Poseidon submarine, the captain's figure appeared somewhat haggard.

His eyes were bloodshot, and a thick layer of ash lay in his pipe.

In the command cabin, the data streams constantly jumping on the screen reflected on his face; his eyebrows, like a pair of locked sword blades, showed that he was in a bad mood at this moment.

This trip was not very smooth, and the supplies were pitifully scarce.

Because the Beautiful Country was attacked by the Storm Dragon, now even the Beautiful Country has no surplus food.

Therefore, the Eight Kings only gave a portion of the supplies to the captain, and the rest had to be resolved by the Undersea Base itself.

It will take at least three months for the situation in the Beautiful Country to possibly improve.

Only then will it be able to continue supplying the Undersea Base; during this time, the Undersea Base can only find its own way.

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of the captain's mouth.

Life at the Undersea Base was already difficult enough.

Loneliness, repetitive work, solitude.

The supplies that arrived once every half month were perhaps the spiritual solace for these people; having a feeling of being cared for was the faith they relied on to persist for a long time.

This time, even the supplies cannot be provided sufficiently, so many people will definitely have other thoughts.

Now it is even worse, adding frost to snow.

Deep Sea Abyssal Beasts are all extremely vicious.

The sea area near the Undersea Base is also intricate and complex, filled with a large number of deep-sea undercurrents.

Except for the Poseidon submarine, general small submarines are prone to accidents.

If people are sent to capture Deep Sea Abyssal Beasts and the Poseidon submarine leaves the Undersea Base, the defensive power of the Undersea Base will definitely drop significantly.

If a slip-up happens at this time, he reckons he will be just like the base commander—kicked out directly.

Following the issuance of an emergency order, the captain's brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of imperceptible worry flashed in his eyes.

Forget it, the boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge.

Apart from his own submarine, no one has dared to travel through this sea area.

Let alone escape the undersea world.

The water-type Exotic Beasts outside the Undersea Base are not to be trifled with.

From the beginning of the establishment of the Undersea Base until now, there has never been an incident of someone escaping from the Undersea Base.

This Undersea Base is like a world apart.

"Captain, we didn't get enough supplies this time; how will the base operate?"

"If the researchers don't have materials, they will definitely cause an uproar."

A staff member beside the captain said with deep concern.

Now is the critical period of the experiment; if an accident occurs, it is very likely to trigger the dissatisfaction of the Eight Kings.

"What are you afraid of? It's not our fault; it's caused by the Storm Dragon attacking the Beautiful Country."

"Besides, it was the Eight Kings who ordered not to give so many supplies, what is there to fear."

"I'm not worried about this right now; I'm a bit worried about the base commander's attitude."

"I don't want to become a sandwich."

At this moment, the Heaven-Swallowing Pelican brought Ye Bai to the locker room.

Ye Bai pried open a locker and retrieved the Identity Card lost by a researcher.

This was a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a face full of whiskers.

He disguised himself directly as this researcher, waiting for the submarine to arrive at the Undersea Base.

"You two go patrol again and see if any miscreants have snuck in."

"I have a vague, bad premonition."

"I just feel like something bad is going to happen."

Upon hearing the captain's words, the two frowned.

The captain's ability was quite special; his talent was the premonition of disaster.

However, this ability was inconsistent, and the captain could not control it.

After the two exchanged a glance, they decided to follow the captain's request; after all, there is no harm in being cautious.

After they sent subordinates to patrol a round, they did not discover any abnormalities.

At this time, Ye Bai had already hidden in the logistics warehouse of the submarine.

In a submarine without a spatial fluctuation detector, the Heaven-Swallowing Pelican was like being at home, moving freely without anyone ever discovering its tracks.

The logistics warehouse was stacked with enough food for the Undersea Base for over half a month.

Ye Bai also took the opportunity to take some and place them into his Pet Beast Space.

The surveillance here had all been hacked by Ye Bai.

Through the observation window, Ye Bai saw a massive Water Tornado not far away.

The hull of the submarine was affected by the Water Tornado, swaying unsteadily.

"Strange, I clearly didn't find any large whirlpools near the small island; where did these Water Tornadoes come from?"

As the Water Tornadoes gradually dissipated, Ye Bai then discovered that giant mouths had appeared on the seabed, and the Water Tornadoes were emerging from these very mouths.

This was a type of Pet Beast similar to an antlion, which would deliberately create giant whirlpools near its dwelling to capture prey.

"This Undersea Base is quite dangerous." "No wonder no one has been able to escape for so many years."

Ye Bai looked at the list of scientific researchers from Yan Country who had gone missing over the years; these were all proud sons of heaven who had been shining in their respective fields.

They had all met with accidents while attending international conferences, either going missing or dying.

If they could be rescued, Ye Bai hoped these people could be brought back to Yan Country.

Lady Bat brought Principal Maige back to Imperial Capital University, and soon she was summoned before the Qilin Marshal.

"Lady Bat, go to the Beautiful Country once more; you are to rendezvous with Ye Bai."

"Your Space Ray possesses sufficient space within its body."

"Although it doesn't have much attack power, it can travel through subspace and return to Imperial Capital University extremely quickly."

"Now that the Beautiful Country has just undergone the attack of the Storm Dragon, their defensive strength is at its lowest level."

"Hurry over there and coordinate with Ye Bai to rescue Professor Wang and the others."

"This mission is very important."

"The Twelve Pillars of the Nation basically have no time, so we can only rely on you."

Hearing this, Lady Bat gently bit her lip.

"I understand, Qilin Marshal; I will bring Ye Bai and Professor Wang back."

After Lady Bat left, the Qilin Marshal let out a long sigh.

Through prophecy, he sensed that problems would soon arise at the Haoshen Abyss.

Last time, Youji had already informed him that the Haoshen Abyss would face an invasion by angels.

Three of the Twelve Pillars of the Nation were currently at the Haoshen Abyss.

They were researching how to stop or delay the descent of the angels.

It would be best if there were a way to solve it once and for all.

The descent of the gods was already an unstoppable trend, and by then, the entire Blue Star would undergo earth-shaking changes.

The hidden Nine Heavens and Ten Earths might appear as a result.

At this critical juncture, they had to ignite their divine fire and become demigods to have the strength to contend with the gods.

The Qilin Marshal knew very well that as the Crystal Wall fused, the gods would successively send down Clones; restricted by the rules of Blue Star, the strength of the descended gods would likely be between Saint and demigod.

If they could kill the Clones of the gods and seize the divinity within their bodies, perhaps they would also have a chance to become gods.

"The current situation has temporarily stabilized; the Beautiful Country has been severely damaged and is unable to look after itself, so they won't target us for a short time."

"But the Glory Angel is not a stable factor; it will certainly try every possible means to open the Crystal Wall seal of the Haoshen Abyss."

"Once the Angel Army pours in, there will be huge trouble."

The Qilin Marshal understood the principle that many ants can kill an elephant.

"Let's wait for Ye Bai to return first, and bring Professor Wang back."

At this time, at the Undersea Base.

An old man with a white beard and a thin frame, but eyes that were bright and piercing, was watching the notes of Doctor Zhubinuo from his earlier years.

"He is truly a talent."

The old man said with an excited face: "No matter how many times I read these notes, I have brand new insights."

"Pet Beast metallization and mechanization—the Doctor who proposed this subject is simply a genius."

This old man was none other than Professor Wang, the Professor Wang who had been abducted.

His gaze turned to the glass display case to the side.

A burrowing mouse was tied to the laboratory table.

A robotic arm grabbed a syringe and inserted it into the body of the burrowing rat.

As a full tube of liquid was injected, the burrowing rat immediately felt an abnormal discomfort throughout its entire body.

Its eyes widened, and its head began to undergo Expansion involuntarily.

Its body began to twist, and with a loud "Bang!", the burrowing rat's body was blown into fragments.

Blood splattered across the entire Laboratory.

At this moment, Professor Wang let out a long sigh.

The person standing beside Professor Wang pushed up their silver-rimmed glasses.

"Professor Wang, are you still unable to mechanize the burrowing rat?"

This person was the base personnel responsible for guarding Professor Wang.

"There is no way."

"I always feel like this notebook is missing a key step."

"Brother, I have already been trapped in this Laboratory for three months; can you let me go out for a walk to catch my breath?"

Professor Wang felt as if his joints were going to grow mold.

"Sorry, Professor Wang, I do not have that authorization, but I can relay your words to my superiors."

"It is up to the superiors to decide whether to grant you authorization."

After hearing this, Professor Wang's face turned into a bitter, shriveled expression.

"How many times have you all said that? My ears have grown calluses from hearing it."

"Every time it is 'not approved'; if this continues long-term, I will become mentally depressed."

The staff member on the side remained unmoved.

"Professor Wang, you can fully enter the VR world to communicate with your compatriots."

"We will not monitor you."

Hmph, enter the VR world? Wouldn't our every move be under your omnidirectional surveillance?

Trying to trick me? Not a chance! The submarine arrived beside a massive mountain, and after a short while, a giant hole appeared in the mountain.

"Alright, full speed ahead, do not stop."

The submarine accelerated and rushed inside, and after twisting and turning, it surfaced.

White streams of water cascaded down from the submarine.

As the submarine's hatch opened, transport robots began moving the supplies out from inside the submarine.

And Ye Bai, hiding among the supplies, successfully entered the Undersea Base.

"Roberson, did it go smoothly this time?"

Edward, the base commander with a face full of gray whiskers and a height of two meters, walked over leisurely.

An Earth Bear King drinking alcohol followed closely behind.

"It did not go smoothly this time; because the Beautiful Country is suffering so severely from the disaster, I only managed to bring back half the supplies this time."

"The Eight Kings told us to resolve the remaining half ourselves."

"We might have to go out to hunt prey, which could lead to a decrease in the base's defensive strength."

Captain Roberson said with a bitter smile.

He had originally thought Edward would make a huge fuss and express his dissatisfaction, but little did he know, Edward just took a light sip of his wine.

Edward had long known this result, and it was actually much higher than he had psychologically anticipated.

It seems the Beautiful Country has indeed been ravaged quite severely by the Storm Dragon.

Others might not know the importance of this Undersea Base, but how could the Eight Kings not be clear about it?

"As for the defense, you can rest assured; with the spatial fluctuation detection device, combined with the complex conditions of the Undersea Base,"

"Even a fly cannot enter this place, so you can be completely at ease."

"If all else fails, the Earth Bear King will take action; its bear paws are already itching for a fight."
