I write obituaries for the gods

"Roger that!"

The helicopters dispersed through the rain, turning into tiny green dots on the screen.

In front of the large screen in the command center, Hua Molan shifted her gaze from the small dot on the rapid reaction section 2 to the grayish-white dot located in the southeast sea.

"How's things going on your end, Deep-Sea Diving Division?"

"The level of warp turbulence is very high! And it's getting more and more obvious! This rate of development is definitely not normal!" Bruce's long voice came through. "The Whale Nest is actively igniting the pent-up emotions in the warp! Damn it, the Euclid bombing incident left too much pent-up emotion, and now it's all been ignited!"

“Whether they know we’re getting close or not, the W weapon is about to be activated,” Hua Molan sighed softly. “The Rapid Response Division will need some more time. Bruce, you guys should assist with the anti-erosion work in the subspace for now.”

"receive."

On the bridge of the Orca, Bruce slammed his fist on the control panel, and the subspace tunnel boring machine began to tremble violently.

"Buzzing..."

"Clap clap clap clap clap clap—"

With a flash of eerie blue light, the Orca began launching a dimensional stabilizing anchor toward subspace, and the wings of the Angel of Death unfurled once more.

"Jiang Zhengge! Hurry up!" Bruce shouted. "If you don't hurry, the rain will turn to madness!"

"We're in a deep-sea submersible, not a roller coaster," Jiang Zhengge said impatiently.

At this point, the diving depth had exceeded 3000 meters, and the area outside the porthole was completely shrouded in pitch black.

Jiang Zhengge glanced at his terminal: they were now very close to the coordinates of the Whale Nest, and the electromagnetic interference was starting to intensify. Bruce's already malfunctioning microphone was even worse, making Jiang Zhengge want to shoot him twice.

Even wearing deep-sea armor, it's impossible to survive to the surface at a depth of 3000 meters.

This depth allows no room for accidents; if one does, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Entering the target area," Jiang Zhengge whispered. "Checking status."

Everyone lowered their heads and began to check the condition of their armor, while Jiang Zhengge stared out the window, gazing at the dark abyss.

Just then, a faint blue light caught his eye from the edge—

".......!"

In the darkness, a pair of deep blue eyes opened, reflecting Jiang Zhengge's astonished face.

Xilena Boswell quietly passed by the porthole, the girl's white dress billowing in the deep sea like a jellyfish swimming freely.

As she passed the porthole, tide Leina glanced at Jiang Zhengge, a smile appearing on her soft features.

She made a "shh" gesture at Jiang Zhengge, winked, and then waved with a smile.

Jiang Zhengge coldly pressed the alarm button:

"Demigod found! Repeat! Demigod found!"

......

Chapter 141 Whale Nest (Fourth Update)

As soon as the alarm button went off, everyone inside the submersible was startled and almost simultaneously looked towards the porthole.

Lin Chen only had time to see a pair of delicate ankles disappear at the edge of the window before he could react.

"Demigod? What demigod?"

He suddenly realized: This is 3000 meters underwater! What human could possibly swim in the ocean like this?!

“It was Xilena Boswell,” Jiang Zhengge whispered. “She attacked us!”

"Report the damage!" Hua Molan's voice came through.

“No damage,” Jiang Zhengge said.

"Weren't you attacked? How come you weren't damaged?"

“She didn’t do anything.” Jiang Zhengge continued to stare out the window.

"...If there was no damage, what kind of attack is that? What did she do?"

“She made a shushing gesture at me and waved,” Jiang Zhengge frowned. “She even smiled, clearly trying to provoke me.”

"..." The submersible was deathly silent.

Lin Chen entered the "Mirage City" and quickly browsed through it, discovering that tide Leina hadn't done anything; she had simply passed by on purpose.

"Zhanyi, did you foresee anything?" Lin Chen asked.

“I didn’t foresee the danger,” Li Zhanyi shook his head. “I thought it was a jellyfish.”

“tide Lena’s presence here couldn’t just be for deep-sea freestyle swimming,” Jiang Zhengge frowned. “She will inform Euclid.”

“There’s no point in thinking about this now,” Black Sword, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up. “We’ve arrived.”

Unbeknownst to them, a ghostly blue light began to emerge from the abyss below.

The crowd huddled around the porthole, looking down.

The pale blue outline of the colossal creature in the abyss seemed to be the only way to guess its shape in such dark water.

Lin Chen's first reaction was that it looked like a UFO embedded in the seabed.

It occupies almost the entire seabed, surrounded by underwater volcanoes, from which lava is continuously spewed out, turning into black chimneys hundreds of meters high in the seawater, reaching straight to the sky, like the giant pillars of a pantheon.

"How did the foundation manage to get such a huge thing here..." Lin Chen muttered.

“A demigod is a convenient thing,” Jiang Zhengge chuckled. “Working for the Foundation is a tough job.”

Jiang Zhengge maneuvered the submersible to avoid the deep-sea hydrothermal vents and found a relatively flat seabed to land on.

"Bang."

With a dull thud, the submersible was firmly anchored to the seabed.

"Let's get to work," Jiang Zhengge said, glancing behind him. "Is the deep-sea armor all ready?"

"complete."

“Then let’s set off,” Jiang Zhengge said, looking at Black Sword. “Senior.”

Black Sword nodded, drew his sword from behind him, and slashed down with all his might—

"Om-"

A crack appeared on the wall of the submersible, and a grayish-white light flickered on the seabed.

As Lin Chen passed through the crack, he was immediately struck by a dizzying sensation.

This feeling... is similar to Director Hua Molan's subspace travel.

The next second, intense pressure came from all directions, making Lin Chen's lungs tighten.

He stepped onto the seabed at a depth of 3532 meters!

"Crack...crack..." A tearing sound came, and Lin Chen raised his arm. The surface of the subspace deep-sea armor began to deform.

He turned on the spotlight on his shoulder, turned his head, and saw Jiang Zhengge and Li Zhanyi also coming out.

“There’s no threat,” Li Zhanyi’s voice was muffled. “Let’s move forward.”

The group began to walk on the seabed. It was eerily quiet, with the deep blackness pressing down on them like a silent universe. Lin Chen felt like an astronaut landing on the moon.

Every now and then, a muffled sound could be heard from afar, it was hard to tell whether it was the roar of an underwater volcano or the noise of a whale nest in operation.

After advancing several hundred meters on the barren seabed, under pressure that almost made him dizzy, Lin Chen finally arrived at the outer wall of the whale nest.

He looked up, and the black exterior wall stretched into the darkness above like a high wall, seemingly without end.

"I'll open the door."

Black Sword strode to the black wall and reached out to touch the rust on it. Lin Chen suddenly had a strange feeling: this executor of the Municipal Security Bureau was like a medieval knight, standing in front of the gate of the Dragon's Nest, quickly reviewing his life in his mind before starting the attack.

They are a squad tasked with slaying the evil dragon.

Lin Chen suddenly realized what was behind the wall, and a faint sense of tension welled up in his heart.

"呲-"

When the black sword was drawn, heat spread through the water, fine white bubbles rose up, and the red light on the sword sizzled in the water.

In the water, the knight's movements were like a slow-motion shot—a stretch, a slash, striking the black wall—

"Om——"

A grayish-white crack opened up, and the black sword stepped forward first, piercing through it.

"Let's go." Jiang Zhengge waved his hand and went inside as well.

Lin Chen took Li Zhanyi's hand and pulled her through the rift. With a dizzying sensation, blinding white light flooded into their masks.

After his eyes adjusted to the light, Lin Chen looked around and found himself standing in the center of a white room.

If the exterior of Whale Nest is full of heavy industrial feel, then the interior decoration is a complete contrast: everything here seems to be made of white, like the interior of a spaceship.

“Oxygen levels are normal,” Jiang Zhengge said. “Headquarters, we have entered the whale nest.”

"Received. Find open terrain and prepare to open the door," came Hua Molan's indistinct voice.

"We need to speed things up," Jiang Zhengge said in a low voice.

Lin Chen looked around and, based on the sofas, bookshelves and other decorations, he guessed that this was a lounge-like area.

“There should be a map,” Lin Chen said, walking towards the door. “Or, we can grab someone and ask them.”

Almost simultaneously, the door to the room slid open.

A man who looked like a researcher walked into the room, and when he met the eyes of the armored warriors in the room, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

"you..."

"Don't move," Lin Chen said immediately, "otherwise..."

He underestimated the loyalty of the people inside the whale's nest: this guy had pulled out a walkie-talkie-like device, held it to his ear, and seemed to be planning a suicidal report.

Before Lin Chen could project his weapon and kill him, a bullet pierced the researcher's side of the head.

"Bah."

The researcher fell to the ground and died before he could send a message.

"Pat...pat...pat..."

Accompanied by the sound of high heels clicking on the floor, a woman who looked like a secretary appeared in the doorway.

She swiftly and decisively pulled the researcher up, tossed him into the room, and then expertly pulled the door shut.

"You are..." Lin Chen was taken aback.

"Hello, handsome."

The secretary gave Lin Chen a mysterious smile, then her face turned ashen, her beautiful face instantly transforming into a rugged silhouette wrapped in bandages.

“Welcome to the Whale Nest,” Oswald said in a hoarse voice.

......

Chapter 142 Surprise Attack (Fifth + Sixth Update)

Lin Chen had lost all ability to predict Oswald's future.

He always gets to work without anyone noticing, and he doesn't communicate at all, yet he always manages to appear when everyone needs him most.

Well, it seems pretty reliable.

It was that "handsome guy" that sent chills down Lin Chen's spine.

“Oswald, you old gentleman with a face full of scars,” Black Sword walked up to Oswald and patted him hard on the shoulder, “I haven’t been back to Rain City for so long, and you didn’t even come to pick me up.”

“Sorry, I have to catch the last flight to Whale Nest,” Oswald said.

"So you were already in..." Lin Chen said, somewhat speechless. "Then why didn't you bring a door opener?"

“Because the Foundation’s route to the Whale Nest is also through subspace travel,” Oswald shook his head. “The security checks before the trip are so thorough that they’re practically a physical exam. Even if I’m skilled enough to hide my identity, I can’t bring anything in.”

His skills were superb... Lin Chen found it hard to imagine how Oswald had managed to sneak in.

He thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with any feasible solutions.

It's incredible that he was able to sneak into the whale nest after only knowing its coordinates.

He truly deserves to be called the strongest spy in the department.
