Chapter 280 Stationed
Shi Xia set up camp next to the submarine.

She had always wanted to bring one back. R's submarines were among the top in the world, so she decided to get one right here instead of going far away.

Wen Chengan was also injured here.

Xia felt no burden at all when taking R's things; they took so much of our stuff.

The current state of China, scarred and struggling, is all their doing.

Retrieving the uranium extraction technology would only result in collecting some interest, or rather, not even interest at all.

The minerals that Shi Xia brought back had already been handed over and secretly transferred.

Shi Xia didn't care about the subsequent refining or anything else; she just needed to be on the front lines.

Tell me what you're missing, and I'll try my best to get it for you. That's her job.

On the first day of Shi Xia's stay, he found R's submarine, since it needed to stay in the water.

Shi Xia's space couldn't hold any living creatures other than herself, so Shi Xia, hidden in the space, used the fish and sea creatures as cover and began to wander around the submarine.

At times like these, she experiences the regret of not having enough knowledge when the time comes to use it.

She doesn't know how to drive!
Not to mention not knowing how to drive it, they don't even understand the structure or where each part is.

After following for three days, Shi Xia stopped when the submarine was silent.

She doesn't need to study those things anymore; she just needs to take the submarine back, and the rest will be studied by others.

So, how to bring it back is the current problem?

She wanted to do it discreetly, without involving anyone inside.

Infiltrate and deal with everyone inside?

But how do I open this door?

Another day stumped by a lack of knowledge.

While Shi Xia was observing, things were not quiet inside the submarine either.

The observer reported to the leader that a group of fish had been following them recently.

The leader was horrified when he heard the report.

"What do you mean by 'a group of fish is following us'? Isn't it normal for there to be fish in the sea?"

"Report, this is not normal. It's the same batch of fish every day, and those fish seem to be laughing."

The leader was furious.

"What nonsense are you spouting! Are you trying to tell me that a group of fish is following you and smiling at you? Do you think that's true?"

The observer who reported back was distressed; he also felt something was wrong, but that was what he had observed.

He felt more than just laughing; he always sensed that the fish were discussing something.

He hesitated for several days, and had nightmares every night, dreaming that a group of fish swarmed into the submarine and ate him.

I only came to report this because I couldn't take it anymore.

The observer was heavily criticized and returned home filled with self-doubt.

Am I really going crazy?

It's not impossible, after all, people have gone crazy before spending a long time in a confined and narrow environment.

Amidst this self-doubt, the observer returned to the observation room and, while looking outside through the equipment, instinctively searched for the group of "conspiring" fish.

Shi Xia, who was feeding the fish in the school, was using her special ability to make sure the fish were full.

When the observer looked, he saw a group of fish trying to close their eyes and immerse themselves in the moment.

"what--!"

The observer exclaimed, only to be glared at by his colleague in the observation room a second later.

"Shh—No noise allowed inside the submarine."

Even the slightest noise can disrupt their training; maintaining quiet is an essential part of their daily life.

The shouting observer pointed to the observation window.

"They, they, they—"

They talked for a long time, but couldn't come up with a coherent explanation.

At that moment, a colleague walked over and looked out from the observation post he was guarding.

The fish were gone; all that was outside was the deep sea and the occasional fish swimming by.

"There's nothing there, that's normal." "Impossible!"

The shouting observer came up again to check, only to find a large face pressed against his window.

"ah---"

A high-pitched scream echoed inside the submarine, triggering the alarm.

"People! People! There's someone outside!"

One scream from the observer completely enraged the team leader.

"Yamamoto, what are you talking about? This is 780 meters underwater, how could there be anyone here!"

The team leader was furious; people simply couldn't descend to that point.

Despite his disbelief, he still took a look.

The result was that there was nothing.

“There really is someone, I saw it, I saw it.”

The team leader gave Yamamoto a deep look.

"Notify the infirmary and take Yamamoto there for a checkup."

Upon hearing this, Yamamoto knew that the team leader suspected him of being crazy. He wanted to say that he wasn't crazy, but was he really not?
He himself was unsure.

In the end, Yamamoto went along with it very cooperatively.

He must be crazy.

Outside the submarine, Shi Xia had long since hidden herself away.

She heard Yamamoto make his first cry.

Submarines need to be filled with water to submerge, increasing their weight, and they need to be drained to surface, reducing their weight.

Wherever there is water, Shi Xia is invincible.

After observing for a few days, she found the water inlet and outlet and planned to sneak in when they were diving or surfacing.

It wasn't difficult for her.

After waiting for a few days, Shi Xia finally got her chance.

The submarine continued to descend, needing to suck in seawater. The intake was small, and Shi Xia barely managed to get in.

Upon entering, Shi Xia discovered that it was a closed space connected by a door.

She guessed that the door was the link to the inside of the submarine, so she just needed to wait until the submarine pumped water up, and someone would come to open the door.

As for what she can do once she's inside, there's plenty to say.

Everything went according to plan. The submarine stopped moving after diving to a certain depth. Shi Xia stayed in the water space without a care in the world. She had even brought in a few fish and some beef jerky.

I left without bringing anything last time I went out; what a blunder!

This beef was brought back from Austria by her; she dried it herself, and it's delicious and very chewy.

Everyone in the family got to eat it, and no one asked where the beef came from.

As long as you can eat it.

Day after day passed, and Shi Xia counted the days, thinking that if she didn't go diving soon, she would have to take action.

This can't go on forever.

She wanted to rush back home for the Chinese New Year.

While eating beef jerky, Shi Xia suddenly tilted her body.

The next second, the entire enclosed space tilted downwards at almost 100 degrees Celsius, very quickly, as if falling from a great height.

The next second, the drainage channel opened, and the water rushed outward with tremendous force. The submarine tried to rise, but Shi Xia felt that the submarine was not rising and was still falling.

At this moment, everyone inside the submarine was mobilized.

The alarm sounds.

Level 1 Alert!
Undersea cliffs!

Submarine cliffs are a special hydrological phenomenon caused by a sudden change in seawater density. When the vertical distribution of seawater shows a negative gradient with higher density at the top and lower layers, the buoyancy of the lower layer of seawater will decrease sharply. Submarines will lose their buoyancy and quickly dive, as if jumping off a cliff.

As it sinks rapidly, the water pressure increases, reaching 3000 tons per square meter or even more. Submarines have a maximum tolerance; once this is exceeded, the submarine will break apart.

It is known as a terrifying existence where there is no chance of survival.
