After being fed to top-tier orcs, I became the darling of the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 254 Have you ever tried walking in the dark?

Suddenly, everything around us turned pitch black, and even the submarine's lights were useless, unable to illuminate the path ahead.

Everyone's hearts jumped into their throats, but thankfully the communication devices were still working. They encouraged each other, which helped to dispel some of their fear.

What do we do now? We have no idea which way to go.

Could it be that we were wrong before? The so-called black fog wasn't actually caused by those creatures obscuring the view?

I don't know! The key question is, what should I do now? I feel a sense of panic...

Prior to this, Lyra and the others had considered the possibility of complete darkness at the time.

However, after suggesting that the submarine might be being propelled forward by some kind of creature, they naturally assumed that the obstruction of their view might also be due to the presence of these creatures.

It seems we were too complacent.

Oko's tone was somewhat serious.

While they solved the problem of being pushed forward by living beings, they overlooked the issue of obstructed vision.

Fortunately, we're tethered to the orca, so it doesn't seem to have been affected?

To better control the situation, Leila and Oko hung themselves at the front and back of the orca, one at the head and the other at the tail.

Because of the obstructed view, Lyra, who was at the forefront, was more aware of the orca's advance than Oko and the others.

But it doesn't know where we're going either. What if it leads us the wrong way?

Unlike orcs, no matter how intelligent orcas are, they cannot achieve perfect cooperation with humans.

Moreover, exploring strange sea areas is an extremely dangerous matter, and no one would dare to entrust their life to an orca.

As Liang He once said, when we are at our wits' end, we must trust the orca's judgment.

Before setting off, Liang He specifically explained some precautions to Leila, including some situations she had anticipated.

In retrospect, Liang He may have already anticipated the problems they might encounter.

Okay, since you all say so, let's calm down and see where the orca will take us.

After spending these few days together, Ao Ke and the others have gained a clear understanding of Liang He's abilities.

Furthermore, given that even a federal colonel like Leila trusted her so much, it seemed that no one else had any reason to question her.

However, if I sense something is wrong, I will still contact the control room and have them take us back.

Oko didn't want to risk the lives of his brothers in trying to save someone.

Moreover, before he set off, Goring repeatedly instructed him to do his best to ensure everyone's safety and not to act impulsively.

【Can. 】

Leila did not refute Oko's words.

She was somewhat unwilling to give up now that she had finally managed to venture into the mysterious sea with the help of the orca and could not uncover the truth.

[Laila, Oko, can you hear me?]

Just as everyone fell silent, quietly observing the orca's movements, Liang He's voice suddenly reached their ears.

Perhaps it was due to the distance, or perhaps it was the influence of the strange sea, but Liang He's voice sounded somewhat ethereal, yet it reassured them greatly.

This indescribable, strange feeling seemed to infuse everyone with a mysterious power, dispelling their confusion and anxiety.

[I can hear you!]

Laila was certain that Liang He had something to say, so she responded with a bit of excitement, completely unlike her strong and calm demeanor when facing Oko and the others.

Okay, now listen to me. Turn off all the lights on the submarine. Don't be afraid, I will stay with you.

Standing in the control room, Liang He spoke in a gentle yet firm tone.

She didn't offer much explanation, but Lyra and the others followed her instructions without hesitation and turned off all the lights.

"Liang He, why did you make them turn off all the lights?" Rick was a little confused about Liang He's actions.

According to the news that just came back, their vision is blocked as before. If the lights are turned off, won't they really become blind?

Have you ever tried walking in the dark?

Faced with everyone's curious gazes, Liang He smiled and posed a simple question.

"Walking in the dark?"

President Lucas, who was pondering Liang He's words, looked up as if he had suddenly realized something.

"I see!"

As the most experienced elder, President Lucas was the first to understand her intentions, which was not surprising to Liang He.

Just as Rick was about to ask Chairman Lucas for clarification, Lyra made another sound.

We saw it! We saw it!

See? See what?
No! Weren't their submarines obscured so that nothing could be seen?

"What's going on?"

Goring's eyes widened as he leaned closer to the communication device, wanting to find out what was happening on Oko's end.

[Oko! Can you hear me? What's going on over there? What did you see?]

Upon hearing his superior's voice, Oko, who had been called out, gradually calmed down from his agitated state.

He took a deep breath, picked up the communication equipment, and began reporting to the control room.

[We just turned off all the lights as Liang He instructed, and then we discovered there was a faint light ahead.]

The eerie sea may indeed obscure everyone's vision, but it is not entirely dark.

Instead, they turned on all the submarine's lights when they were afraid of the dark, resulting in an overly strong contrast between light and dark, causing them to overlook the faint light ahead.

[After gradually adapting to the darkness, we are actually able to see the scene ahead more clearly.]

No wonder the orca seemed unaffected and was able to continue moving forward.

[I remember now! Liang He, when you advised me to select people, you shouldn't choose those with night blindness, and it would be best to choose people with good night vision to participate in the operation. Did you already think of this?!]

Coming to her senses, Leila looked to Liang He for an answer, somewhat incredulously.

She didn't understand. Everyone was human and had the same information, so why was Liang He able to think of so much?

Even the idea of ​​tying it to orcas was proposed by her!
[I only derived this conclusion from information I received from the orca mother; I wasn't even sure if it was feasible beforehand.]

Faced with Leila's question, Liang He remained as sage as ever, keeping his achievements and fame hidden.

In her view, this was indeed just an unknown attempt, and she was not sure whether it would succeed or not.

I didn't mean to hide it from everyone, please don't be angry.

Upon hearing Liang He's apology, Leila and the others quickly waved their hands, then suddenly remembered that she couldn't see, and immediately replied.

No, no! How could we be angry? You've been a huge help!

Previously, when Lyra was exploring the strange sea area, she turned on all the lights of the submarine because of her instinct to be afraid of the dark, which caused her to miss the opportunity to observe.

Now, with Liang He's help, she was able to successfully explore the depths of the strange sea, and she was more than grateful.

We are currently heading deeper into the eerie sea. We will contact you immediately if we make any discoveries. That's all for now.

Time is of the essence, and none of us are sentimental. There's no need for words of gratitude; figuring out the mysterious sea as soon as possible is more important than anything else.

After hanging up the communication, Lyra and the others continued their journey, led by the orca.

Meanwhile, something unusual seemed to be happening on the sea.
