Last Totem Novel - Chapter 83

Chapter 83 Deep Sea
After passing through the hall, there was another long downward passage. Zhao Linglong walked at the front. Two small holes on her helmet shot out cylindrical beams of light, illuminating everything thirty meters away. All of the flashlights that everyone used were not as bright as hers.

“What is that lamp of yours made of? Why is it so bright?” Tie Zha couldn’t help but ask.

“It’s just an ordinary psionic spotlight. There’s nothing special about it.” Zhao Linglong replied.

“Why do I feel that something with the word psionic energy is particularly advanced? Can’t you use new technology with a flashlight?” The captain, who was walking on the other side, played with the flashlight and interrupted dejectedly.

“This has nothing to do with technology. Psionic energy is a higher-level form of energy than heat and electricity, so the performance of psionic equipment is superior.” Zhao Linglong explained.

At this time, Tie Zha recalled crossing the endless sea of sand with You Ge. Once, they were trapped in a swarm of sand worms. At the most critical moment, You Ge injected psionic energy into the red comet. In that instant, the speed of the red comet soared to the extreme, and its overall performance doubled at least. It seemed that Psionic Adepts had a special advantage in using all kinds of equipment.

Feng Yun couldn’t help but sigh as he listened to the discussion between the three of them. “I have to admit, psionic beings are the chosen ones of this era.”

As they chatted, everyone arrived at the end of the passageway. He looked up and saw that it was a metal door. A sailor squeezed forward and shouted, “Be careful! There’s a big spider inside!” The sailor was a Star Chaser and had explored this place before.

“Be careful!” Hearing the sailor’s reminder, the captain immediately hugged Zhao Linglong’s waist and said.

“What’s the hurry? The door hasn’t opened yet” Feng Yun leaned on the metal door and signaled everyone to shut up. After listening for a while, he was sure that there was no movement inside, so he signaled for everyone to retreat, arrive at the side of the metal door, and pull down the gate.

With a “shua” sound, the metal door swiftly sliced open on both sides.

However, just as the door opened, a huge bug head squeezed out! It looked extremely ferocious. Its scarlet red eyes, four sickle-shaped insect jaws, and dripping dark green mucus made one’s heart tremble with fear!

“Ji!” The giant bug opened its mouth and let out an ear-piercing bug cry. The nearest Feng Yun was blown so close that his hair stood up.

Amongst the crowd, Tie Zha reacted the fastest. He quickly pulled out his shotgun and aimed it at the bug’s head! “Boom!” Countless blazing lead bullets shot out and struck the giant bug’s fragile mouthpart.

The giant insect let out a painful hissing sound and quickly retracted.

Zhao Linglong pulled out her sabers and chased after him. In the blazing light, a giant spider was hibernating in the middle of the hall, waving its claws at the crowd.

“Be careful! Its carapace is very hard and bullets won’t be able to enter!” The sailor warned.

Zhao Linglong nodded and shouted in a deep voice. Blue light shone from her two blades as she bent her back and shot out!

In an instant, Zhao Linglong rushed to the feet of the giant spider, jumped up into the air above the spider’s back, and suddenly fell! The two blades had a faint blue arc as they sliced through the spider tail!

Chi! After a soft sound, Zhao Linglong landed on the ground, and the spider tail slid down. The incision was like a mirror, and light yellow body fluids sprayed out. The giant spider let out a loud howl as it raised its sharp knuckles and crazily plunged towards Zhao Linglong!

Qiang! Qiang! Qiang!

Zhao Linglong somersaulted backwards, avoiding the three knuckles. These three joints deeply pierced into the steel web on the ground, and for a time, the giant spider could not be pulled out. Zhao Linglong took the opportunity to roll forward and spin on the ground. The two scimitars were like the blades of a fan, instantly cutting through three joints!

Chi!

With a faint sound, the three legs were broken into several pieces at the same time. The giant spider let out a mournful cry and fell to the ground. Zhao Linglong took a step back and avoided the falling giant insect. Then, he took a step forward and jumped over the small mountain-like insect body. The moment she landed on the ground, she turned around and slashed again.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …”

The ripples of blue light spread out layer upon layer. Zhao Linglong continued to revolve around the giant spider. Wherever the tip of the sword approached, pieces of dancing cuticle appeared.

In the next few tens of seconds, the crowd stared blankly at Zhao Linglong, who was like cutting melons and vegetables, dismembering the giant spider into countless pieces. In the end, Zhao Linglong put away her saber and returned to the captain’s side with a backflip.

After clearing the obstacles, everyone turned on the power and restored the power to the research facility. Afterwards, they took the elevator and arrived at the underground laboratory.

Zhao Linglong found a lot of information in the lab and took a lot of photos of the scene. After collecting the evidence, the captain offered to dismantle the experimental equipment and sell it for money. Zhao Linglong did not agree, saying that this was material evidence, so she had to keep it as it was.

However, the captain insisted on taking things apart. Because more than 30 of them had died, and if they did not sell the equipment, they would not have enough money to pay their pensions. Zhao Linglong had no choice but to make some concessions. Except for some key evidence, she had to remove the rest.

In the next few days, everyone was busy dismantling the equipment in the base and searching for valuable items.

Tie Zha only found 30 or so canned Western Continent standard meals. However, this was also unexpected. He had already prepared enough compressed biscuits, and this tinned food would be used as an extra dish.

After dismantling the items, the captain divided the remaining twenty sailors into three groups.

The first group was led by Accountant Wucong Yun, who was in charge of transporting the first mate, Fat Cat, Rick, and other seriously injured people back to Luoyan Town for recuperation. The second group was led by the captain, who was in charge of escorting Zhao Linglong back to the Central Continent. The third group, led by Feng Yun, drove the Big Dipper. They first sent the equipment to Iceland to sell, then sent Tie Zha to the snowy ice plains, while headhunting for the Snow Bear.

After making all the arrangements, everyone boarded the ship one after another. The goodbyes between the deep-sea fishermen were very simple. They could just hug each other or shake hands.

“Wu …”

With a melodious whistle, the three ships put away their heavy anchors and sailed into the depths of the Black Sea. Although they were going to different places, they might never see each other again in this lifetime. But there was one more thing they needed to do before they could part ways.

Completing a common task …

“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”

On the Black Sea, the three ships fired their cannons at the same time, and the deep sound of the cannons echoed through the sky.

When smoke filled the sea, one corpse after another slid into the water …

The sailors played melodious harmonica and sang ancient ballads …

We wake up from the deep sea,

Climbed onto his father’s fishing boat,

Wine and harpoons are our favorites,

Freedom is everything to us.

We weathered the winds and storms,

Bring people fish and shrimp and crabs,

Beloved, light a candle in front of the window to guide us back,
