Chapter 187 The Strange Sea

As the two speedboats cut through the waves and gradually moved away from the island.

Something unexpected happened.

The speedboat seemed to be affected by some force, and it could not move forward despite being pushed against the air.

Huyang stood in the cab, constantly controlling the steering wheel. The engine behind him roared and splashed water, but he couldn't move forward.

It seems like there is an invisible wall of air blocking the way.

"What's going on? What are you doing?"

At the back, a team member named Goya, whose face had a long scar and many black spots, and whose cheeks were fleshless and looked like skin and bones, shouted in dissatisfaction, "We are all moving forward."

Hu Yang cursed, "What the hell! We can't get out! No matter how I control it, the speedboat won't move forward. There's something wrong with this sea area!"

"Bullshit!"

When Goya heard this, he was struck by lightning and his whole body froze. He continued, "We were fine when we came here, so why can't we get out?"

"Fuck, how about you take control!"

Huyang simply swung his arm and handed the steering wheel to the team member.

Nagoya naturally didn't believe it, so he grabbed the steering wheel and started to maneuver the speedboat backward.

Then he threw a crystal source core into the engine: "I have to keep a record of this and reimburse me later."

"We'll talk about it when you can finally drive out." Hu Yang crossed his arms and spoke in a stiff tone.

Goya snorted, "Just step on the accelerator and blast through it!"

Under his control, the speedboat took off and rushed forward.

Boom~~

The bow of the ship shook, almost blowing everyone on board away.

Bermula held on to the railing tightly, his face pale.

"Holy shit!" the crew member at the helm exclaimed, "This is fucking hell!"

The other team members were also horrified and had no idea what was happening to them.

His face was extremely horrified, and he kept chattering:

"What happened? Did you encounter an air wall?"

"It's really weird. There's nothing in front of me, so why can't I get through?"

"It seems like there's some kind of rule warning us that we must return to the island."

"No, we can't. Are we going to be trapped to death?"

"Regulated areas on land?"

……

At this time, Shen Bei was sitting at the stern, staring and carefully observing the surrounding sea.

Apart from the noise of the team members, there was no other movement.

Not only this speedboat had the problem of being unable to get out, but the other speedboat also had the same problem.

Shen Bei tilted his head and looked ahead.

Nothing really.

"A one-way barrier air wall?"

Shen Bei muttered, pondered for a moment, and then commanded, "Stay close, there might be a gap somewhere."

Huyang nodded, took over the steering wheel, and slowly steered the boat at an angle with the bow against the wall of air.

Shen Bei turned his head and looked back at the island. The distance between the two was only half a nautical mile.

"Are those ships trapped here?"

"Why does this island feel like a prison? It seems like it's holding something..."

"If they are detained, where are they being held?"

Shen Bei thought about it briefly, but couldn't get an answer.

In this world, there are many so-called regular areas.

The appearance of the air wall did not cause extreme panic among the team members.

Although everyone looked unhappy, at least they were not emotionally broken.

……

Huyang drove around for most of the way but found nothing. There was no gap for the speedboat to get out.

Shen Bei pressed his hand: "Don't open it."

It was all in vain. According to Shen Bei's guess, this air wall probably surrounded the island in a large circle, forming a closed loop.

Huyang turned off the engine, raised his head with difficulty, panic in his eyes, and asked in a low voice: "What should we do now? We can't get out at all. We are wasting time. Titan has gone far away. We are afraid that we will be lost in the sea and have no choice but to return to the island."

Shen Bei came to the bow, touched the air wall and knocked it.

Silent, just a sense of hardness.

Shen Bei gritted his teeth and said calmly, "It's impossible to go back. There are unknown dangers on the island that we haven't cleared yet."

Hu Yang was stunned when he heard this, and his expression became even more disappointed: "But we can't get out."

Shen Bei stroked along the air wall and reached his palm under the water surface. The air wall was still there, extending downwards.

I don’t know how deep it is.

Shen Bei looked up at the sky, stepped on the bow and jumped lightly. The foot thrusters erupted with plasma flames, and the huge thrust pushed Shen Bei into the sky.

The people below looked up and suddenly realized:

"Maybe the opening is up there!"

"Why didn't I think of it!"

"That's because you can't fly..."

"Let's not rest here either. Use all your attacking skills, just in case it breaks!"

As soon as this idea came out, everyone became excited. Even the injured endured the pain, stimulated their energy, and began to bombard the air wall.

Explosions, fists, fire, weapons...

Ding-ding-ding-ding.

Everyone was so tired that they were panting, but there was no sign of any fluctuation in the air wall.

It was as if all the attacks were half absorbed by the air wall.

Hu Yang waved his hands: "Forget it, forget it, I can't handle it."

……

After flying at an altitude of about 300 meters, Shen Bei touched the ceiling of the air wall and flew along the ceiling towards the island.

Halfway through the flight, Shen Bei shook his head and was sure that this was an inverted sea bowl, similar to the top of the sky.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the height of the cluster fire disc is 500 meters, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with.

Fall back to the bow.

Hu Yang asked anxiously, "How is it?"

"Capped."

Huyang sighed.

Shen Bei touched his nose and asked, "Is there a toolbox on the speedboat?"

"some."

Huyang opened the storage compartment and pulled out a standard tool box.

Shen Bei searched for some useful tools and began to repair his armor and helmet.

The zero-point energy welding gun is mainly used here.

Hu Yang was completely confused by Shen Bei's actions and asked, "Now that we have this moment... why don't we get down to business?"

"This is my serious business." Shen Bei didn't even raise his head, concentrating on welding the damaged parts.

Hu Yang scratched his head: "I don't understand it at all."

Shen Bei finished welding a seam, looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, and continued welding: "I'm going to go down to the water to take a look."

Huyang's eyes changed, his heart was in turmoil, and he couldn't help but have a suspicion that even he could hardly believe.

Do I have to swim across from the bottom of the sea?

As soon as his thoughts opened up, Hu Yang slapped his thigh and said, "You are no longer needed for this matter. Let us do it!"

Immediately, Huyang called out to Bermula: "You, get in the water and see if you can swim over."

Baimula paused and hesitated: "I, I can't swim."

"waste."

Hu Yang gave him a disdainful look and called on another team member: "Goya, aren't you very capable? Go down and take a look, especially to see how deep the air wall is."

Goya suddenly realized: "This is a good idea."

After saying that, Goya didn't waste any words. He jumped into the water with a splash and swam shallowly.

The sea water was blue and deep. As he continued to dive, the man soon disappeared.

Swallowed by darkness.

Everyone was lying on the side of the boat, eagerly waiting for news.

After a while, Goya surfaced, gasping for breath, and was pulled onto the boat.

Yago shook the water off his head and cursed: "Damn it, I estimated that I could dive to 300 meters, but I still couldn't reach the bottom!"

Huyang was shocked. The pressure of three hundred meters was a huge pressure.

Even those of them with sixth-level physiques have reached their limit.

That's it... I haven't gotten to the bottom of it yet.

"Is there no hope?" Hu Yang muttered, his face full of despair.

The others also had a dejected look on their faces, with a growing thought that there was no going back.

"I'll try."

After Shen Bei welded his armor, he put on his helmet and jumped directly into the water.

Hu Yang asked, "How deep can your equipment dive?"

"400 meters."

"Um... then what?"

Shen Bei replied calmly, "If we're lucky enough, 400 meters is my limit. I'll swim out, then return to the shelter and bring the submarine over."

The plan was clear, and hope rekindled in everyone's hearts.

"God bless you, there must be a gap at 400 meters!"

"You must show up! No need for blessings!"

"I hope I leave it to you, Shen Bei!"

……

Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Shen Bei slid into the water as smoothly as a fish swimming in shallow water, stirring up circles of ripples that quickly dissipated on the sea surface.

With the sneak in.

Shen Bei passed through the 50-meter-deep "green light belt" and entered the deep sea world where light could not penetrate. The surroundings instantly fell into darkness.

The visual panels were also illuminated after the restoration was completed.

Continuously displaying Shen Bei's diving depth.

100 meters...

150 meters...

The water pressure suddenly increased, as if an invisible giant hand was pressing tightly against the armor.

However, Shen Bei did not feel any discomfort. The pressure and temperature inside the armor remained constant, and only the slight sound of air pressure adjustment came from his ears.

200 meters...

250 meters...

300 meters...

The deeper he dived, the harsher the water pressure became. Every meter he sank felt like he was carrying a mountain on his back.

The armor's outer shell deformed slightly under the enormous pressure, but its internal structure remained as strong as before.

Shen Bei continued to dive.

Still couldn't find the gap in the air wall.

350 meters...

Or an air wall.

Keep diving.

400 meters.

The terrifying force equivalent to 40 times the atmospheric pressure is enough to crush any unenhanced life into pieces. Even those with special abilities cannot hold on for long and will be crushed!

At this time, Shen Bei's armor had reached its limit, and there were even sounds of friction and distortion.

But Shen Bei still couldn't find the gap in the air wall.

"Do you want to go back?"

Shen Bei hesitated.

Gritting his teeth.

Shen Bei continues to dive!

400 meters is the limit given by the armor.

But diving a few more meters shouldn't be a problem.

As you continue to dive.

Shen Bei felt the armor starting to press against his flesh.

Like a hundred-ton hydraulic press.

Even breathing became increasingly difficult, as if an elephant was stepping on my chest.

The values ​​in the visual panel are constantly changing.

405 m.

410 m.

415 m.

The armor began to alarm frantically, and the red light kept flashing.

Shen Bei kicked the foot thruster.

Finally dive five meters.

No more.

Otherwise you will be crushed into meat paste!

420 meters!

suddenly.

Shen Bei's hands were empty.

The air wall that was as strong as a solid wall of steel disappeared without a trace!

Shen Bei had no time to rejoice. He hooked his fingers on the edge of the air wall and rushed out.

The horizontal section of the air wall is not wide, only about fifty centimeters.

After crossing the air wall, Shen Bei slowly floated up.

Rapid ascent may lead to serious decompression sickness, so the more careful you are at this time.

Shen Bei carefully controlled his buoyancy and slowly ascended in the safest way.

420 m.

410 m.

400 meters...

When the depth pointer crossed the critical point of life and death - 400 meters, Shen Bei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A moment's work.

Shen Bei could already see the sunlight penetrating the water, casting golden beams of light.

in a blink.

Shen Bei broke out of the water.

Turn your head and look back.

But Hu Yang and others were looking at him in surprise through the air wall.

Hu Yang and the others were more than just shocked, they couldn't believe it and shouted:

"Holy crap! It worked!"

“There’s actually a gap underneath!”

"saved!"

"Brilliant!"

"Brother, I kneel down to you!"

……

At this time, Shen Bei was making gestures.

Without wasting a moment.

The foot thrusters were fully activated, and the speed was not much slower than that of a speedboat, and it began to move towards Titan!
