Dragon Clan: I, Nono! Inherit countless futures!

"Principal, was this dive too hasty? If we've confirmed it's a Dragon King-level target, perhaps we should be more careful," Schneider asked in a low voice, holding the satellite communicator.

"There was nothing I could do. The board of directors intervened. Their reasoning was that they couldn't just sit and wait for the embryo to hatch; they had to take action, even if it was risky. And I didn't have enough power to stop them."

Angers' voice came from the other end of the phone: "Fortunately, this time we are fully armed, and the children are all top-quality hybrids, so they should be able to resist interference from the embryonic field."

After hanging up the phone, Schneider let out a deep sigh.

As the main person in charge of this mission, Schneider was not as optimistic as the diving team; he was well aware of the dangers of the mission.

Legend has it that ancient dragons create a protective domain during their incubation process, and those who step into this domain will experience fatal hallucinations.

Although all the participants were of "A" grade bloodline, no one knew whether they could withstand the domain of the embryo.

Especially now that it has been confirmed that the embryo came from the Dragon King, the danger level in this area has increased dramatically.

Both Schneider and Angers wanted more time to prepare, but the board of directors intervened and ordered them to dive and confirm the target as soon as possible.

Therefore, this dive plan was made entirely under pressure, and they could only try their best to improve the plan.

But Schneider felt uneasy about the hasty decision.

And soon something even more unsettling happened.

The roar of helicopters echoed throughout the base, and the specially added logistical and support equipment arrived together, along with the supervisors specially dispatched by the Board of Trustees to oversee the mission.

Derek Gattuso.

He was a middle-aged man with a serious expression. After landing, he only said one sentence to Schneider:

"I will oversee the entire mission."

After saying that, he turned and left without even glancing at the diving team.

His arrogant and disdainful demeanor practically screamed his superiority.

Schneider's expression was grim, the diving team was indignant, and Chen Motong, who had just fulfilled his last wish, felt an ominous premonition rising in his heart.

In TV dramas, these seemingly arrogant and wicked characters usually don't survive more than three episodes. Now that such a character is overseeing the project, it makes the already dangerous Greenland project even more difficult.

Although she doesn't need to dive, the Dragon King won't spare her life just because she's on the surface.

Unfortunately, she was of low status and no one thought the mission was dangerous, because it was, after all, an embryo, which meant it hadn't hatched, and not hatching meant it was safe.

Chen Motong had no choice but to wait and see.

The day of the dive arrived quickly, and the weather was unexpectedly good.

The black icebreaker was disguised as a research vessel, and dozens of people were busy on board.

Three German-made diving bells are being inspected. These are all-metal diving devices, as metal is an excellent conductor of electricity and can form an electrostatic barrier that can weaken the influence of the embryonic field.

The seven-member diving team was divided into three groups, and they were making final preparations as they entered the three diving bells.

"Keep in touch after you go into the water. I will be on the boat to provide support at any time. Report any problems or discoveries immediately."

The diving team nodded and listened patiently to Schneider's instructions.

"It's about time, get ready to go into the water," Derek said coldly from the side.

Schneider ignored him and continued to tell his students, "This is a sedative. Everyone should put it in their mouths to help you resist hallucinations. If you encounter danger, use the underwater rifle. The Philosopher's Stone bullets inside are a deadly threat to dragons."

"Also, you absolutely must not leave the diving bell; that electrostatic barrier is your crucial protection!"

As he spoke, he distributed the medicine and bullets to the trainees.

"Hey, don't be so nervous." Fingel put his hand on Schneider's shoulder and said with a smile, "We're just going down to drop a bomb, not to fight the Dragon King hand-to-hand, it's not that dangerous."

"I hope so," Schneider said, turning to the silent girl beside him. "Do you have anything to say?"

It was actually just a casual question asked out of politeness, and no one thought it would be appropriate for a 13-year-old girl to express her opinion on this task. To everyone's surprise, the girl actually spoke up.

"When you see the 'door,' come back immediately. Don't fire. Remember, when you see the 'door,' come back immediately."

"A door? What door?" The long-haired, alluring girl looked puzzled. "Why would there be a door underwater?"

Not only her, but Schneider and Derek also frowned deeply.

"It might be a hallucination, but in any case, I turned back as soon as I saw the door."

Chen Motong's expression was serious, completely out of character for her age: "If you don't want to die there, listen to me."

"How could there be a door underwater?" Derek wondered.

Chen Motong completely ignored the guy, her dark red eyes filled with seriousness as she repeated, "Did you hear me? Come back immediately when you see the door."

The diving team was completely baffled, and they all looked at Schneider hesitantly.

Schneider, equally clueless about the girl's scheme, could only say, "Let's dive down."

The divers nodded and entered the diving bell.

At first, everything went smoothly. The currents were calm, the marine life was calm, and they even saw beluga whales.

The depth of the dive increased, and soon it reached more than 100 meters, but nothing unusual happened.

Just when Schneider and the others thought the mission might be completed smoothly, no one noticed the girl's increasingly furrowed brows.

"130 meters, 140 meters, 150 meters..." she murmured to herself, "155 meters..."

She remembered that in the original story, it seemed that when the diving team was about 100 meters deep, they saw a strange door on the seabed, which led to the accident and the death of everyone.

Perhaps this time will be different, she comforted herself, but as the depth grew deeper and deeper, her heart still couldn't help but rise.

When they reached 170 meters, the leader of the diving team suddenly exclaimed in shock over the communication channel:

"A door! There really is a door! We've seen a door!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. They subconsciously looked at the girl beside them, only to find that her face looked extremely pale.

"A door? There really is a door? How could there be a door underwater?"

Almost instantly, Schneider realized that the diving team might have entered the embryo's territory, but before he could give the order, the petite girl beat him to it.

"Quickly, pull them up!"

Schneider didn't respond immediately, but his brow furrowed deeper and deeper, deep enough to trap a fly between his eyebrows.

The ship's support staff also became restless, with whispers filling the air.

"If you don't want all your trainees to die down there, listen to me!" Chen Motong completely ignored everyone else's reactions and yelled at Schneider, "Hurry up, pull them up! It'll be too late if you wait!"

No one understood the danger better than Chen Motong. The so-called door was nothing more than a symbol, or a door to hell. When this door appeared, it meant that the diving team had been targeted.

If the diving team dies at the bottom of the sea, those on the surface are unlikely to escape unscathed.

Schneider originally wanted to contact Angers through Norma to ask for the principal's opinion, but after being yelled at by Chen Motong, he realized the seriousness of the matter.

Schneider gritted his teeth, no longer hesitating, and ordered, "Retrieve the diving bell immediately!"

Just then, Derek stepped forward and blocked their way.

"No, we can't retrieve the diving bell before anything has even happened. How are we supposed to explore then?"

But before he could finish speaking, a small, light metallic fist appeared in front of him.

The girl with dark red hair jumped up and punched him on the head.

The intense pain made Derek's vision go black, and the powerful momentum carried him to the ground with a dull thud.

"I knew you were here to cause trouble!"

As Chen Motong shook his hand, which was slowly returning to its normal color, he yelled at the stunned crowd, "What are you standing there for? Pull it!"

"Oh..."

Everyone quickly followed suit, and the machine slowly started operating, with the diving depth on the dial rapidly increasing.

Under Chen Motong's swift and decisive actions, they were already moving very quickly, but just then, the team leader's exclamation suddenly came through the communication channel.

He exclaimed, "The door is open! The door is open!"

Before anyone could react, the dive leader's shout rang out: "No! Don't go in!"

Immediately afterwards, loud gunfire rang out in the communication channel, clearly indicating that someone had fired an underwater rifle. In addition, there were also sounds of paddling and breathing apparatus.

"Oh no, someone's left the diving bell!"

Schneider's face turned extremely grim. He yelled desperately into the communication channel, "Dive team, attention! Dive team, attention! Return to the diving bell immediately! Return to the diving bell immediately!"

But no one responded to him anymore, because the communication... had been cut off.

Schneider tossed aside the communication equipment and turned to the safety rope, only to find it empty at the end after it was successfully retrieved.

The diving bell has been cut in half.

"Why did this happen?!" Schneider was practically going crazy. He paced anxiously back and forth, scratching his head in frustration. "How could this happen?!"

He took a few steps, as if he had made up his mind, picked up the diving equipment and started putting it on. The support staff quickly helped him while asking, "Professor, what are you doing?"

"I can't just watch my students die in there!" Schneider growled. "We retrieved the diving bell quickly enough; they should be within 100 meters now. I'm going down to see what happened!"

After shouting, he turned to the silent red-haired girl: "Miss Chen, I'll leave the ship's affairs to you while I'm away."

Upon hearing this, Chen Motong promised, "I will do my best."

Schneider nodded gratefully to her, and the next moment, he jumped into the sea without hesitation.

Chen Motong took a deep breath, forcibly calming her turbulent emotions.

But just then, Derek Gattuso, who had been knocked down by her punch, got up while clutching his head.

"Miss Chen, the plan has changed, we must evacuate immediately..." Before he could finish speaking, he saw a familiar fist.

Without turning his head, Chen Motong threw another punch.

With a muffled thud, the world fell silent once more.
