Chapter 236 Bait Submersible

"Huh? What does that mean?"

Ding Junyi said as she walked: "Throughout the ages, humans have experienced countless epidemics and disasters, and countless people have died. Although with the development of modern science and virology, we have many ways to deal with it, the fact is that we have never really defeated a virus with medical means."

"Then what does it rely on? The virus disappears naturally?" KIKI asked puzzled.

Ding Junyi nodded. "Partly, it is. Most of it relies on the body's own immune system to evolve. So when I heard you talk about the organizational purpose of the SIID Foundation, I thought of this. To be honest, I am engaged in the field of biology, so I rationally agree with this theory."

"You mean superpowers?" KIKI flew to Ding Junyi's side, stretched out her finger and touched the green hair on her head, and said, "You have also evolved, which is quite right, but I don't agree with their style, and Lin Xian doesn't agree either. So, in that case, what is their purpose in placing the marking bait?"

"So this is just speculation and we can't be sure at this point."

After hearing what Ding Junyi said, KIKI suddenly looked at her and said, "If your position is different from Lin Xian's, what will you do?"

Ding Junyi responded calmly, "I only agree with a theory from a scientific standpoint. It doesn't matter what my standpoint is. As long as Lin Xian asks me, I will tell him my conclusion based on my principles. As for what he wants to do, I can only say..."

"I will support any decision he makes."

Ding Junyi glanced at KIKI and said, "I am based on principles, and you are based on feelings. We are different in this respect."

KIKI's eyes widened when she heard this, and she explained in a panic, "Love? Bah, bah, bah, nonsense, he and I are in a cooperative relationship, and now we are all in trouble..."

"and many more!"

At this time, Ding Junyi suddenly stopped and looked forward.

KIKI was interrupted and turned around quickly. At this time, the two of them had walked into an unfamiliar research area. In front of them appeared an isolated hall with a large glass wall. It was filled with dark lake water, like an aquarium. Some cracks were constantly spraying water outside, and the ground was already knee-deep in water.

"What room is this?"

Ding Junyi searched for the nameplate of the area and soon saw a control console outside the large cabin, which read:

【GX Deepwater Sampling Chamber】

"This is a decompression chamber. It should lead directly to Shijiu Lake from outside."

KIKI picked up the mobile terminal, flew to the heavy isolation window, looked at the dim lake inside, and immediately operated

"Hey, this area is controlled solely by an internal system."

KIKI flew directly to a huge control panel in the distance, connected the mobile terminal, and soon, she was connected to the control program of this cabin.

"It's a small matter..."

KIKI was very proud, and she immediately started the drainage program in the sampling cabin.

"It seems that the main leak is not here, and the water can be drained normally."

Ding Junyi walked to the bottom of the nameplate at this time, and saw various precautions written on it. She frowned slightly and immediately stood up and said to KIKI.

"Be careful, this seems to be a place where some dangerous research is being conducted. All operations are remotely controlled by the system."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, KIKI flew away immediately, staring and asking, "Isn't this some toxic or radioactive research?"

Wow!
As the water level in the cabin slowly dropped, echoes began to be heard inside, and the dull water was accompanied by whirlpools. At this time, KIKI and Ding Junyi saw several mechanical cranes appearing on the top, and under the cranes was a device that looked like a small submersible.

"Oh, I see." After seeing the scene inside, KIKI finally breathed a sigh of relief: "This must be a submersible used to enter Shijiu Lake for exploration, and then decompress it here. I thought it was something else."

At this time, KIKI seemed to see an object spinning in the vortex in the murky water. She immediately moved closer, trying to use her special powers to catch it and take a closer look.

The black object slowly floated out from the dim green water, and the next moment, it suddenly hit the glass in front of KIKI with a thud.

And this black object turned out to be a female corpse with eyes wide open and body swelling!

KIKI's pupils trembled, and she subconsciously stepped back. Just as the female corpse was scraping against the glass and about to float away with the water, she suddenly reached out and grabbed it with her supernatural power, exclaiming:
"Sister Ding, I know this person!"

The female corpse floating in the water at this moment was none other than Tan Meng from Room 5 in the death game that KIKI and Lin Xian saw in the afternoon!

"what happened?"

"This person is the woman in the game I just told you about. I remember..."

"I remember that at the end of the game, she survived. How could she die here?"

"So the freedom and survival they promised was just a deception?" Ding Junyi said.

"This foundation is abominable!"

KIKI said through gritted teeth.

At this time, the water level in the decompression chamber gradually dropped. As the atmospheric pressure increased, the female corpse that had been soaked for many days began to swell, and flesh kept flowing out of her mouth and nose, which looked very scary. KIKI frowned and let go of her. The female corpse continued to fall down with the water flow until the water in the decompression chamber was completely drained. The female corpse fell into a corner and quietly changed.

"There was a submersible with its hatch open. I think she escaped from there."

Ding Junyi pointed in a direction and saw a damaged submersible on the ground. Its transparent hatch was open and it sank to the bottom of the water.

“So this submersible is used to carry people?”

KIKI raised his hand and dragged the submersible over. At this time, the two saw that under the central glass cabin cover of the submersible, there was a small cylindrical space that looked like it could accommodate a person.

At this time, Ding Junyi walked down the steps into the water below and came to KIKI's side.

"KIKI, put this thing down and let me see it."

KIKI nodded, and she and the submersible landed on the ground together. The two of them watched through the glass window.

Ding Junyi raised her glasses and said calmly
"This is indeed an unmanned submersible. The space inside is not for people to drive, but for people to accommodate."

"Look." She pointed to the inside of the submersible and said, "There is no control panel in here. People are completely sealed inside."

KIKI took a closer look and discovered that the metal inner wall of the submersible had many scratches from bloody fingernails.

“I just want to know why this project puts people inside?”

KIKI's face darkened slightly, and he said, "This is not that simple."

"Sister Ding, please be careful." After saying that, she used her special powers to grab Ding Junyi and moved her to a distant place. Then she exerted force on the unmanned submersible, directly shattering the high-strength glass of the pressure relief chamber and taking the submersible out.

She immediately grabbed it in front of her, found the location of the control panel on it, removed the outer metal shell, and then connected the mobile terminal.

"The storage system of this type of unmanned vehicle will have a mission log. I don't believe they would clean this up as well."

Sure enough, as she expected, the task log was quickly exported.

At this time, KIKI moved Ding Junyi, who was caught in the air by her, over and said in confusion: "What kind of strange tasks are these?"

Ding Junyi was not quite used to the feeling of flying in the air, but after getting used to it for a while, she suddenly felt it was very exciting.

She came closer and frowned
"It seems that the path to enter Shijiu Lake is the same: 900 meters underwater, 30 minutes, and return."

"What does this mean?" Kiki was confused: "Putting someone in the lake to swim around and then come back?"

Ding Junyi raised her glasses and said, "I am more concerned about the mission time."

She pointed to the log time on the mobile terminal screen and said, "Look, not only is the mission time 30 minutes each time, but it's also 30 minutes before dawn!"

"Oh, that's right."

KIKI said, "According to this mission setting, it will be dawn when we return?"

"Take a look at the other ones too." Ding Junyi's eyes flickered, as if she had thought of something, and she immediately said to KIKI
KIKI was puzzled and took action immediately.

Soon, the other submersibles were checked and the mission logs inside were almost the same. The only difference was that there were no scratches in those submersibles.

"Sister Ding, did you find anything?"

Ding Junyi pondered for a moment, then looked at KIKI and said, "Do you think this is fishing?"

"fishing?"

"Correct."

Ding Junyi began to look at the research area with a critical eye: "Sending the living target to Shijiu Lake and returning it after a short period of time is just like fishing and collecting bait, isn't it?"

KIKI looked unhappy when he heard this: "What? Are you going to use humans to lure the strange body?"

Ding Junyi shook her head: "I don't think so. If you want to catch a strange body, you don't need to use this method at all."

"What's that fishing for?"

Ding Junyi said seriously, "No one is operating it, it's alive, and it's fixed to return before dark. If it encounters something in the deep water, what's the point of this person coming back?"

KIKI's eyes widened as she heard this, and she couldn't help but open her mouth and said

"【Dark Mark】!"

"Not only that." Ding Junyi said, "The control is to return before dawn. The institute is probably worried about the failure of the recovery or that it will cause some huge risk to the institute, so they must return before dawn. If this is the case, then the underwater location where they set the submersible to go should have some kind of terrifying existence!"
