93: Chapter 93 Infiltration 93: Chapter 93 Infiltration The ship was about to sail into a crescent-shaped Bay Base.
“Oh, damn!
This…..”
Lin Zinuo and the others’ mouths were agape in an ‘O’ shape, each of them stunned by the scene unfolding before their eyes.
“We’ve entered a seaside military base.”
Su Mo was also shocked, as the scale of this base was incomparable to the previous smaller one.
Right in front of them, the harbor had a super-large steel structure that sowhat resembled a shipyard.
Of course, the specifics were unclear, but one could tell that the scale of this base was far from ordinary.
“You’ve got to be kidding?
Another military base?”
Zhou Qian and the others swallowed hard, as military bases were generally very dangerous.
Especially considering the intense cannon fire from a distance, one could tell that the attack on this base was fierce.
“That’s the reality.”
Su Mo said gravely, his head aching as well.
He felt sowhat in over his head.
However, he had underestimated these girls; they were now hungry and thirsty, and seed to fear nothing.
Lin Zinuo gritted her teeth and said, “Who cares what kind of base it is, let’s get up there first!
I’m about to die of hunger and thirst.”
“Exactly!
Let’s risk it.”
Zhou Qian and the others responded in unison.
However, Su Mo then spoke up to dissuade them, “Don’t, the exploration level of this base must be very high, with extre danger, and there are definitely defensive weapons.
If we get discovered, it would be disastrous.”
“Alright, I’ll bring the ship to a halt.”
Lin Zinuo imdiately turned off the ship’s propulsion system and stopped the ship.
After the ship had stopped, Lin Zinuo asked, “So how do we get on that base?”
“We can only swim over.”
“You’ve got to be kidding , Su Mo, you’re not joking are you?
Swim over such a distance?
That’s at least five kiloters away!”
“Yes.”
“Forget it, let’s just charge with the ship.
With our current state, if we’re in the sea, we’d last at most five minutes, and who knows if there are any monsters in there.”
Lin Zinuo and the others gave up.
“Don’t, let try.
I’ll go up by myself to explore and see if I can understand the situation, and maybe find so food to bring back.”
It wasn’t that Su Mo was trying to play the hero by himself, but charging in was definitely unwise, more people would increase the risk of mishaps.
Adding to that, their current state was really not good, and they might all perish inside.
So it might be better for him to go alone to take a chance.
After all, their current objective wasn’t to conquer the base; they just wanted to find so supplies.
“Su Mo, we know you’ve been working hard and don’t want to expose to danger needlessly.
But given the situation, even a swimming champion might not make it, let alone you with your current state being so poor,” Lin Zinuo said with a touch of emotion, trying to dissuade him.
“That’s right, your heroics along the way have been seen by us all, and we are deeply moved.
Let’s charge with the ship together, we’re not the kind to fear death,” Zhou Qian also echoed.
“Exactly, Sister Zinuo and Sister Zhou are right, if need be, we’ll die in battle together,” Qin Wang stood up and added.
Faced with everyone’s care, Su Mo was moved, but he had made up his mind to take a risk.
Fear had never been an issue for him, not in the past, and not now.
If there was sothing he feared in this world, it was the fear of being alone.
Su Mo looked around at everyone and finally said with determination.
“Trust , let try.”
Seeing Su Mo’s resolve, Lin Zinuo patted his shoulder, a look of total reliance on her face as she spoke.
“Okay!
Then I leave everything up to you, Su Mo.
Drink all the remaining water, if you don’t succeed, at least you’ll die with honor.”
Su Mo didn’t refuse, as he did need to replenish his fluids to recover his strength.
Thus, he gulped down the remaining half-bottle of water in one breath.
Just then, Lin Zinuo handed Su Mo a packet of biscuits, and with great concern, she instructed.
“Eat so biscuits, regain a bit more strength.
Everything depends on you, you have to be strong.”
“Thank you!”
Su Mo instinctively took the biscuits and started to open them, but midway he paused, incredulously looking up at Lin Zinuo.
Zhou Qian and the others also stared at Lin Zinuo in shock.
Lin Zinuo’s expression was sowhat awkward, she laughed and said, “Don’t look at , it really is the last pack.
But that’s not the point, the point is Su Mo, you better eat up quickly.”
Su Mo didn’t say much, quickly finishing off the packet of biscuits.
“Alright, I’m setting off.”
“Mhm, Su Mo, you must co back alive!
Don’t abandon us like this!”
Zhou Qian and the others watched Su Mo with hopeful faces.
“…”
Su Mo didn’t say anything more, he took off his shirt, took a military knife in his mouth, and dove into the sea.
Under everyone’s gaze, he disappeared into the distance.
…
—————-
Soon after, a tenacious figure swam fiercely forward.
Despite the chilling seas and his utterly exhausted spirit tornting every part of Su Mo’s flesh and psyche, he didn’t care at all, pressing on courageously, his resolute spirit unyielding.
Along the way, one could see so scattered ships drifting within the harbor bay, which all appeared very old, as if they’d weathered many storms.
Throughout the swim, Su Mo was highly alert.
Though now everything seed calm
But no one could guarantee that the next second wouldn’t bring forth so terrifying monster.
He was certainly not naive enough to think that the absence of monster attacks ant safety.
The fierce sounds of battle nearby were proof enough.
And judging from the sounds, one could determine just how intense the battle was.
However, this might not necessarily be a bad thing, as a strong offensive from those players would likely draw the attention of the monsters within the base.
Perhaps he really could seize an opportunity here.
Whether it was good fortune or sothing else, Su Mo managed to swim near the giant shipyard.
The top of the entire structure protruded greatly, a hundred ters high, entirely built of heavy steel, looking both majestic and spectacular.
However, the shipyard was closed off, with a huge steel gate cutting off the exit, keeping the sea out.
Su Mo carefully looked around, seeking an entrance.
When he inadvertently glanced upward, he was startled to see a ten-ter-sized fleshy tumor-like egg perched atop the shipyard.
The whole mass was trembling, and looking through its opaque skin, one could vaguely see a colossal creature moving inside, nurous blood-red tentacles stretching out from the egg into the sea.
Su Mo’s heart raced, and he quickly sank to the bottom of the sea—getting detected would be a death sentence.
He swam a bit to the side while holding his breath, looking up from the seabed and only once he was sure the creature showed no signs of reaction did he resurface.
It was really like seeing a ghost.
Su Mo took a deep breath a few tis, calming his emotions as he started looking for an entrance to the shipyard or another point of access.
