National destiny: Starting with a coffin, building an aircraft carrier is broadcast live globally.

Watch closely, everyone.

This is a completely natural drum washing machine.

......

"Carlos—you call this a secret passage?!"

Shouldn't this be called a "severely unbalanced underwater current"?!

In the instant he was swept away after swimming less than ten meters, only one thought occupied his mind:

That old man, he definitely did it on purpose.

It travels at least 120 km/h and even has a Thomas Flair.

The newly transformed two-legged creatures, who had no experience using the new parts, were forced to drive at high speed.

Klaus's eight tentacles, which he had just managed to grow, slammed against the rock wall and his teammates with a series of "bangs and cracks".

Nathan suffered the most.

His broad fins looked impressive in the calm sea, but in this undercurrent... they looked like a loosely secured parachute.

It spiraled forward in an extremely flamboyant manner, uttering indistinct syllables:

"Mmm—holy—pfft—S—"

Oh, it seems to be a greeting to Bob's ancestors.

Carlos was already used to it, and he curled up in a ball, hugging the magical artifact, and rolled around next to Renyi.

Ivan, relying on his thick skin, lay sprawled out on his back, letting the water flow treat him like a bowling ball, even chipping two stones off at the bends.

However, in this short yet long process...

Everyone consciously kept their distance from Aurora, fearing that they might accidentally get pricked by her tail fin.

I don't know how much time has passed in a daze.

The view ahead was somewhat murky, so it was probably the end of the road.

"Bang."

"Puff, puff, puff puff, puff—"

Several people were sprayed out like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

He rolled around several times before regaining his balance. Just as he was about to catch his breath, he felt an indescribable smell rise up.

It tastes fishy, ​​sour, and a little bitter.

"What's that smell?! Is this sea area so poor? They don't even raise some sea cucumbers to clean up the area!"

Even Xiao Jiu couldn't stay still, so it floated out with its ten claws flailing.

This is a square stone channel with a round top, but it seems to be blocked off. Various unidentified debris floats in the water.

"yue——"

The sound of Klaus retching could be heard nearby.

The engineer, who longed for sterility even more than the doctor, obsessively stared at the green mud on the tip of his tentacle, his face turning purple.

If this hadn't happened in the water, he might have fainted on the spot.

"...I absolutely never want to go through that again...yue—"

"Then let's work harder."

He lowered his voice and soothed her:

"Let's try to make this our territory, and then strut around here with our heads held high."

Fortunately, there is not much heavy industrial pollution on the seabed here.

However, the sea creatures gathered in the royal city were too numerous and densely packed, so this place was obviously the treatment and discharge point for purified wastewater, and the water quality was somewhat poor.

"It'll have to do..."

Carlos removed a piece of seaweed from his head.

"It's still relatively clean now. For a while, when I left, I could still see severed limbs."

"Varied--"

Klaus was about to explode when he was restrained by Renyi.

"Keep your voice down."

He remembered Bob saying that this was behind the royal guard barracks of the Deep Blue Kingdom.

The group of six, like a school of thieving stargazing fish, moved along the slippery ditch in the wall toward the exit.

Ivan's cheeks puffed out like a pufferfish—

He was holding back a sneeze.

His sense of smell was now so acute that this smell was like being hit head-on by a biological weapon.

"ah--"

Nathan swiftly covered Ivan's nose and whispered a threat:

"If you dare to make a sound and attract the guards of the Deep Blue Kingdom, you'll be locked up in jail... Don't forget, the jails here don't provide food!"

"..."

Ivan forced back his sneeze, tears welling up in his eyes.

But when they silently crept up to the top, they realized something was wrong—

It's too quiet.

According to Carlos, the area above should be a hidden, unused storage room behind the main camp, from which one can go directly to the lower city from the back door.

The patrol team would slip away to slack off as soon as they arrived, so they were never discovered.

But at this time, there must at least be the sounds of armor and weapons clashing during drills, or the sounds of guards talking, right?

Carlos hid behind a wooden barrel.

The green moss blended seamlessly with the aquatic plants growing in the bucket as it floated in the water.

This is definitely a trap, he thought.

Those vicious guards must be hiding in some corner, sharpening their knives and preparing to slice them into mermaid slices!

He stiffly turned his head and winked at Renyi—

We must retreat; we cannot stay here.

Upon receiving the signal, Renyi poked half his head out from behind the half-open door. The space was dark, the light was extinguished, and the camp gate was half-closed.

His eyes lit up.

An undefended zone... isn't that just our own warehouse?!

[Hahahaha... Help! Look at Coffin Bro's expression!]

[I know those micro-expressions all too well. It's like when I, a severely socially anxious person, go to an icebreaker party and open the door to find no one there.]

[Compare this to Carlos and Hans the cat next to them—it's like a horror movie protagonist opening the door to find a mess and no one there!]

[Boss: No security guards? Today's another great day!]

Carlos had no idea that he was being used as a control group by the alien audience.

He was gesturing to the huge shadow of animal bones on the left, indicating that everyone should quietly sneak around the seaweed along the wall.

When I turned around, I was dumbfounded.

Renyi had already swum out along the wide main road, just like he had entered the hotel, with Nathan and Klaus following behind him.

Ivan is even more outrageous.

He swam confidently in the middle of the road, picking his teeth with the half-eaten fish bone he'd gotten from Bob.

"Are you all crazy?!"

No one cares about him.

Aurora smacked him on the back of the head with her ornate fishtail and jumped over the cover.

What kind of infiltration is this?

The overall structure of the guard camp is both primitive and magical.

The main building is made of some unknown material; it looks very sturdy, yet it's also bouncy like jelly, with seaweed growing in the crevices—it's quite harmonious.

The group of six swaggered across the open space and stopped in front of the largest, tall, cylindrical building on the left.

"The Silver Guard's quarters?"

I tapped the large clam shell that was standing upright, and the clam, which was already dead, opened on its own for some unknown reason.

On the other side of the clam shell, a large hole was hollowed out, which became the perfect door.

The faint light from the plankton was enough to make out the scene nearby.

There is a lot of space.

The beds were densely packed together and suspended from seaweed and wooden planks.

Starting from the ground, layer upon layer, it was stacked up to the ceiling, which was about thirty meters high... It was like hundreds of large tin cans piled up in a warehouse.

Nathan looked up, a rare expression of admiration on his face:

"No wonder the prison was so rudimentary; this guard camp... it's probably not much better!"

At least there's a fish and a clam in the prison!

He only glanced around the entrance.

There are no living creatures.

The seaweed blankets on the hammocks were in disarray, clearly indicating that the owners had left in a hurry.

They walked through the dormitory and came to a shorter building.

There wasn't even a door. As a shark-mana affected by the hunger and frenzy of sharks, Ivan immediately followed the smell of food and rushed into the drafty shed.

Less than two seconds.

"Yue—!"

A tremendous, guttural retching sound came from the shed.

This time, Ren Yi was truly intrigued—

What kind of being could possibly disgust Ivan, who's currently acting like a hungry shark?!
