The ruins of Algatan have been completely covered by layers of bubbling lava. It is almost impossible to see the remains of the original underwater city. He’s afraid that even if someone comes back here in a few months, they won’t be able to recognize that a sunken legendary main city once stood here.
The cooled lava has quickly turned into a solidified ring-shaped low mountain, while the still vigorous magma gushes out from the cracks and forms a wide or narrow magma river, spreading all the way to the distance.
Lu Liran’s eyes followed the winding magma rivers into the distance, and he saw the magma that could swallow up and melt everything running along the seabed, straight into the canyon, and finally pouring down, falling into the unknown abyss that they had never gone deep into.
Lu Liran had to admit that they were extremely lucky.
The volcano that erupted this time simply flowed out lava calmly, forming extremely magnificent magma waterfalls and rivers.
He once heard about a volcanic accident that erupted thirty years ago. The energy of the eruption was equivalent to 500 times the energy released by a magnitude 9 earthquake. It flattened the entire mountain, forming a crater more than ten kilometers long. The sky was filled with smoke and dust covering a distance of 600 kilometers, and the darkness lasted for three months. The sun, moon and stars seemed to have been swallowed up by the erupting volcano.
In comparison, this submarine volcanic eruption appears extremely mild.
Otherwise, perhaps even with the plug-in bonus of teleporting for ten seconds, they may not be able to escape the power of volcanic eruption.
“System Test Release Challenge Mission: Life Force Under the Deep Sea.”
“Task Difficulty: ★★★”
“Task restriction: System assistance cannot be used”
“Mission Completion Reward 1: Unknown”
“Note: This challenge task cannot be deducted. After the task is completed, the system will automatically enter the dormant update state.”
Lu Liran was stunned when he saw a task panel pop up in front of him, and there was even a three-hour countdown underneath. God knows what will happen after the countdown ends.
He called the system in his mind, but got no response.
The steel giant stepped on the volcanic ashes and lava all over the ground, sparks popping out with each kick, stepping on the raised ocean ridge step by step, and tiptoed to place Lu Liran and Ke Ji on the highest point away from the volcanic magma.
When Lu Liran came back to his senses, he saw the big guy in front of him stretched out its thick and clumsy fingers, tapping Ke Ji’s fist lightly, and the three-story steel giant suddenly returned to the mecha terminal cabin.
Ke Ji made a gesture to Lu Liran, indicating that the pressure on the seabed here was too high and the super mecha could not fully exert its maneuverability, so it could only be withdrawn temporarily.
Seeing this, Lu Liran breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly. He thought there was something wrong with the big guy. After all, the oncoming energy of the volcanic eruption and the tons of volcanic ash were really a catastrophe.
After knowing that there was nothing wrong with Ke Ji’s mecha, Lu Liran felt relieved and the two of them swam upward slowly.
They all have tracking and positioning devices left by Qi Bai, and they can only hope that this device has not been affected by the volcanic eruption.
The other end.
Qi Feng waited until the last second before she had to pull up the submarine.
The power of the underwater volcanic eruption was astonishing. Even if the hurricane rose eight hundred meters, it was still swept up by the powerful airflow from the eruption and almost hit the left and right trenches.

All the warning lights in the submarine were on, and the red light illuminated the cramped interior of the submarine in a frightening manner.

Qi Bai’s voice rang in her ears, telling her that her current location was safe. The force of this volcanic eruption was not powerful, it was just a weak eruption caused by common ocean plate friction.
Common.
Qi Feng looked at the seabed with some confusion. For the entire Barents Sea this was a common and insignificant event, but for them, it was a disaster that could destroy everything.
“The vitality monitoring of the three devil vines has disappeared. ” Qi Bai stared at the data on the panel and said in real time.
Qi Feng closed her eyes in weariness and said in a cold voice: “I don’t care whether the devil vine is dead or alive. I don’t even understand why the Commander even wants to help such an ungrateful planet.”
“Do you know what happens to planets invaded and occupied by devil vines?” Qi Bai paused and whispered, “If the Commander himself doesn’t take action, the Desolate Star will be the fourth Death Star.”
Qi Feng was silent.
Neither of them spoke for a while.
Until Qi Bai’s monitoring panel suddenly lit up two small blue dots.
Qi Bai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly snapped his eyes twice: “Fuck!”
Qi Feng opened her eyes and frowned: “You make another weird noise…”
“It’s the Commander and Deputy Captain Lu! Their life activities have been detected! I’ll send you the coordinates as well.” Qi Bai said quickly, passing the two coordinates to Qi Feng.
Qi Feng’s eyes widened suddenly, and she immediately activated the submarine: “I’ll get down right now.”
“Go down now?! There is volcanic ash everywhere here…” Qi Bai said, his voice softened, he pursed his lips, and finally just said, “Be careful.”
“I know.” Qi Feng responded. The submarine was seen diving into the thick black gray smoke below with two beams of bright light.
Lu Liran and Ke Ji were slowly swimming upstream, but even if they were slowing down and wearing deep-diving combat suits, the pressure of 10,000 meters under the sea was still a huge load on their bodies.
Within fifty meters of surfacing, Lu Liran felt a fishy sweetness in his throat, and he began to feel dizzy.
Ke Ji was keenly aware of the subtle changes in the man beside him, and stopped immediately. The two swam to the edge of a sea rock, slowly swung their flippers back and forth to tread the water, and paused for a while.
After Lu Liran calmed down for a few seconds, he looked at Ke Ji and made a gesture to indicate that he could continue upward.
He raised his eyes and discovered that an inconspicuous, spiderweb-like mark had appeared on Ke Ji’s transparent mask at some point, like a small scratch.
Lu Liran’s pupils shrank fiercely, he tightened his grip on Ke Ji’s wrist, he pulled hard, and compared each other’s masks.
Ke Ji nodded slightly to show his understanding, and made a gesture to indicate that this happened three minutes ago.
Lu Liran panicked for a moment. They could neither surface quickly nor stay here. If Qi Feng couldn’t find them…they wouldn’t be able to leave alive.
He couldn’t help but call out to the system again in his mind. However, just like a drone going offline, the system that had been active in his consciousness also fell into silence. It had not sent any signals since the volcano erupted.
Lu Liran clenched his fists tightly and trembled slightly unconsciously. For the first time, he felt that the deep sea was dark, boundless, and despairingly cold.
Ke Ji gently opened his fingers and clasped them together. Even though the body temperature could not be transferred to the palm of his hand, the force of pulling each other brought Lu Liran back to his senses slightly.
Lu Liran didn’t know what expression to show. The first time the couple interlocked with each other was in this situation. The first kiss between a couple was in a decompression chamber. He didn’t even know if there would be a second time.
While he was thinking wildly, he followed Ke Ji upwards little by little at a steady and even speed.
Two sudden beams of bright light penetrated the sea water. Lu Liran looked over subconsciously and suddenly became energetic.
Inside the transparent cockpit cover, Qi Feng, who had always been calm and composed, was laughing and crying, waving in their direction, and the submarine slowly stopped five meters in front of them.
When Lu Liran and Ke Ji swam into the decompression chamber, the seawater inside was emptied one by one, and the pressure that seemed to be weighing dozens of kilograms on their bodies was suddenly relieved at this moment. Lu Liran had the illusion that he was like inside a dream of Nanke.
He looked up at Ke Ji. Ke Ji took off his mask, and his face was pale and bloodless under the mask.
As soon as he put down the mask, he heard a sudden “click” and the mask in his hand completely shattered into pieces.
Ke Ji was stunned for a moment, but he couldn’t help but shook his head and whispered: “What a good luck.”
Lu Liran felt an unspeakable fear in his heart. He looked at Ke Ji and stared at it for two seconds before he suddenly rushed forward and kissed the man’s cold lips tightly.
“Only a few minutes.” Lu Liran said hoarsely.
Ke Ji gently rubbed the back of Lu Liran’s neck soothingly and said nothing.
When the decompression cabin door opened, Qi Feng saw Lu Liran once again pressing their commander against the decompression cabin wall and forcibly kissing him.
Qi Feng laughed and cried. Even when she saw the commander being forcibly kissed again, she couldn’t say a word.
Lu Liran heard the sound of the decompression chamber opening, and wanted to leave quickly, but Ke Ji held him down without leaving a trace, and they exchanged another long and lingering breath before being released.
“Deputy Captain Lu! His Excellency, Commander!” Qi Feng only spoke when the two of them separated. She took the opportunity to wipe the tears on her face. How could the well-known captain of the Sixth Diving Team cry so much.
Her eyes quickly passed between their lips, she coughed slightly, and her eyes slid down uncomfortably, landing on the broken diving mask at Ke Ji’s feet.
She froze slightly, and then her eyes suddenly widened: “This——”
“It just broke.” Ke Ji replied.
He looked at Qi Feng and smiled: “You and Qi Bai arrived just in time.”
Qi Feng took a breath, not daring to think about the consequences if she was a minute late.
Ke Ji and Lu Liran returned to their seats in the cockpit. Both of them had some decompression syndrome, especially Ke Ji’s expression was even worse.
Upon seeing this, Qi Feng immediately took out two relieving medicines and injected them into the two of them respectively.
It wasn’t until the injection that Lu Liran discovered that his and Ke Ji’s fingers were still intertwined, probably while they were kissing…
He quickly let go of his hand, a little embarrassed on his face.
Ke Ji slightly raised the corner of his mouth, he looked at his released right hand, and sighed obviously.
Qi Feng felt like a light bulb.
“What’s going on now?” Lu Liran quickly changed the topic and asked while taking off his deep-diving combat uniform.
“The signs of life on the three main vines have disappeared. It is very likely that they were affected by the volcanic eruption.” Qi Feng said.
Qi Bai added: “No matter what the reason is, at least I can guarantee that the liquid molecule detector will never make an error. As long as it enters the target, it will not be disordered by external factors, so the three main vines must be completely dead.”
Lu Liran nodded when he heard this: “This is an unexpected gain.”
“The main fleet has evacuated. I don’t know what the current situation is.” Qi Feng continued, “We are currently at a depth of 9,897 meters under the sea. The intensity of previous submarine volcanic eruptions was only Level 3, which had little impact on the sea surface, allowing them to float.”
“Good.” Lu Liran nodded. He glanced at Ke Ji, who had closed his eyes and frowned slightly, and then said to Qi Feng, “You are in charge of the ship, prepare to surface.”
“Copy that.” Qi Feng responded.
Seeing Lu Liran take off his combat uniform, she quickly looked away, but her eyes paused when she glanced at Lu Liran’s forearm.
Qi Feng whispered softly: “You are injured!”
When Lu Liran heard this, he looked over and realized that a blazing blister had appeared on his forearm at some point. If Qi Feng hadn’t reminded him, he wouldn’t have even felt the pain.
In other words, his body’s tolerance in all aspects has reached its limit, so that his perception is much slower.
He frowned slightly, but before he could deal with it, Ke Ji, who was resting with half-closed eyes, immediately opened his eyes and sat up, grabbing his arm.
“It looks like a sting. Get the antivenom.” Ke Ji glanced at it and whispered to Qi Feng.
Qi Feng immediately fetched the emergency medical kit after hearing this.
Lu Liran glanced at Ke Ji and muttered: “Just rest. I can handle this minor injury myself.”
He used his toes to pick at the combat uniform he had taken off at his feet. A small, water-red thing that looked a bit like a spider at first sight quickly climbed onto the jacket.
Lu Liran quickly grabbed a glass and covered it directly, raising his eyebrows slightly: “What is this…”
Thanks for the update!!!
Thank you! Happy holidays to you!
Li you can’t go eating the spider. No.
Lu… damn autocorrect bringing my OC’s up in the wrong place. Where are you when I need you?
My first thought also—Lu Liran has such a bad rep!
Thank you
A deep sea bug? Something that stowed away the last time he visited the other sub?? A tick from one of the fishes he caught earlier???
Well this was an exciting chapter.
Pressing Kei Meiren and kissing him again! 😆
oh, he was bitten by the spider… now he’s going to be spiderman 😀
Spider, this may be your chance to be an hors d’oeuvre! Thanks for the update ❤️
