Chapter 362 Black Manta's Target
"Everyone prepare to disembark from the submarine."

Black Manta was giving orders on the team's communication channel, and the six submarines stopped in an orderly manner behind a reef about 600 meters away from the pyramid building.

The bottom hatches of the six submarines opened one after another. Each small submarine carried two people. The entire underwater team had a total of twelve people including Black Manta. This ghost-like team quietly moved towards their target.

The leading black manta ray stopped behind the last reef. Further ahead was an unobstructed seabed, and there were aquarium lighting equipment that was constantly scanning there.

"Disperse." Black Manta issued an order through the communication device, and the disperse symbol appeared on the helmets of all the team members at the same time.

Although the equipment worn by Black Manta and the team behind him has been upgraded by the Illuminati, they are still human beings after all. They cannot compare with these aquatic creatures who treat the deep sea water pressure as nothing. Even the slightest damage to their armor will take their lives.

"Team B, have the decoy bombs been deployed?" Black Manta contacted another team.

"Report, installed and ready for use, Captain."

"Very good." Black Manta quietly watched the Aquatic patrol. "Team A reporting in."

"Report, Team A is in place and ready to act."

Black Manta nodded, then connected the communication channels on both sides and said, "3, 2, 1, action begins."

"boom!"

Just as Black Manta finished speaking, a muffled sound suddenly rang out. The impact of the explosion caused a huge wave on the seabed, even disrupting the formation of the aquatic guard troops near the pyramid building.

"bass!"

Using the anchors on their equipment, Black Manta and his team clung to the reef like starfish, with no one exposed.

"What's going on!" The captain of the guards calmed the seahorse under him and controlled the seahorse to swim out of the crowd, wanting to see clearly what was happening.

"Report, it seems that an explosion occurred not far away." A guard with a slightly higher position came forward to explain to the captain.

"Which area did the explosion occur in?"

"Based on the distance, it's probably in a minefield."

After listening to the report from his men, the captain of the guards' brain began to work rapidly. The minefield ahead was the ambush set up by their guards. There could be no life activities in that area, which meant that there was a high possibility of an invader attacking.

"Deputy Captain, you take one team to stay behind, and I'll take another team to check the situation."

The captain of the guards waved his hand, and his companions who had fought side by side with him for many years immediately understood and rushed out with a whistle. A small team followed the captain of the guards and rushed forward as if they had rehearsed in advance.

"Yes!"

Although the captain could no longer hear, the deputy captain still responded honestly.

As the team led by the captain disappeared into the darkness, the seabed once again fell into darkness.

"Be alert and continue patrolling!" The deputy captain turned around and gave orders to the remaining team members. At this moment, something strange happened.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp sound parted the sea, and the vice-captain immediately turned around. A sharp harpoon was now only a body length away from him. In this life-or-death situation, his mount reacted. Just like when he first tamed his warhorse, the old man beneath him suddenly became angry and threw him off. However, unlike the first time, his old man could no longer look at him with such an angry look.

The harpoon dug into the seahorse's neck, and a headless seahorse slowly floated down. Scarlet blood instantly exploded, and the blood mist blocked the view in front.

"No!" the deputy captain roared. He raised the weapon in his hand, his scarlet eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.

"All ready to fight!"

In fact, there was no need for the deputy captain to give orders. The well-trained soldiers had already lined up and raised their weapons. Thanks to the special underwater environment, as long as the aquatic soldiers lined up, they could carry out a 360-degree surveillance without blind spots.

"call out!"

A sound distorted by the sound of water was heard, and two red beams of light pierced through the blood mist and shot straight towards the guards.

The soldier who had been prepared pulled the trigger as soon as he saw the beam, and the beams on both sides collided head-on.

"boom!"

The explosion caused by the collision of the two energies dispersed the blood mist in the water, and Black Manta appeared in front of all the guards.

"It's Black Manta!" Although the deputy captain was furious, he still had some sanity and knew that the enemy before them was not someone they could handle, so he immediately chose to contact the captain of the guards and Atlantis who had left, hoping to get reinforcements.

"Do it!"

With a wave of Black Manta's hand, Team A, who had been lying in ambush, stood up one after another. They were divided into groups of two, one of them holding something like a rocket launcher. As he pulled the trigger, conical shells were fired towards the guards in the center of the encirclement.

"Disperse!" the deputy captain shouted an order. A guard grabbed his hand and wanted to take the captain away without a mount, but unfortunately his plan was doomed to fail.

"boom!"

The conical shells suddenly exploded and turned into large nets. These sudden fishing nets blocked all the guards' escape routes.

When the dust settled, Black Manta stopped looking at the guards and turned to swim towards the pyramid building. At the same time, he gave orders to his men around him.

"Kill them."

Ignoring the wailing and blood mist behind him, Black Manta arrived at the door of the building first. He saw the lock on the door at first glance. According to common sense, Black Manta should go to find the key at this time, but Black Manta is not the kind of person who follows the rules.

Increasing the output of the eyepiece on his helmet, two rays, much thicker than before, burst out from his eyepiece, burning the door in front of him.

As the temperature continued to rise, the sturdy door was burned red, and a hole as high as a person was cut out by him.

With a kick on the door, without any order from Black Manta, Team A of the Food Guards entered in an orderly manner. Black Manta only went in after all his men had entered.

Turning on the spotlight on his combat suit, Black Manta saw his target at first sight, a piece of meat stored in a huge transparent glass jar. There were many tentacles on the piece of meat, but they seemed to have lost their vitality and all lay limply in the jar.

Facing a target that seemed to be dead, Black Manta was not disappointed at all. Rather, he thought that this was for the best. All he needed was the DNA of the piece of meat in front of him. The harmless state in front of him was the best, saving him the effort of snatching food from the tiger's mouth.

"Do it."
