Chapter 906: Pray or leave a will, dive into the sea to save people
Skye's face twitched, and he said with an awkward smile: "That's quite difficult. It's hard to beat one centipede warrior, let alone a group of them, you have to run away!"
"By the way, has the centipede serum been mass-produced?"
"Impossible." Fitz said firmly, "The centipede serum has a major hidden danger. Although Chen Haoran's platelets can prevent the components of the desperate virus from exploding, it's like taking drugs.
As time goes by, the centipede warriors will need to inject more and more serum, and the sequelae will become more and more serious.
Rather than saying that centipede warriors are super soldiers, they are consumables. Each one has a shelf life and is very expensive. "
"Garrett really spent a lot of money." Mei said with a frown, "When I fought him, I found that he had also injected centipede serum.
Right at the waist, and seems to rely on the centipede serum more than other centipede warriors."
"You mean he used himself as a test subject?" Simmons said in astonishment, "That's impossible. No one with a normal brain would do that.
It's not that he doesn't know the dangers of the serum, otherwise he wouldn't be looking for people to do experiments on, unless... he has to do it."
"Could it be that something is wrong with Garrett's body? Maybe it's even life-threatening.
And he didn't want to die, so he developed the centipede serum with the mentality of giving it a try, and then tried every way to improve the centipede serum." Fitz made a bold guess, but after saying it, he believed it 80% of the time, "That makes sense, no wonder he wanted to catch Coulson before, he must want to know how he managed to come back to life."
"Beautiful." Skye clapped his hands in relief. "This is the only good news at the moment. That bastard is about to die."
"The bad news is that Garrett somehow found out that SHIELD has a similar experimental project and has already produced a semi-finished product that is not yet mature.
If nothing unexpected happens, he and Ward are flying our plane to the experimental base. There are seven or eight centipede warriors, so it won't be difficult for him to capture the base by force."
"You're a professional at ruining the mood, May." Skye rolled her eyes speechlessly, "He wouldn't really let go of even the half-finished product!"
"People are dying, do you think he cares?"
"Probably not." Skye said unconfidently, then sighed heavily, "Our current situation doesn't seem to be much better than Garrett's.
He can still find a way to save himself, but we...seem to be simply waiting to die."
"You have to believe Coulson, he will come to save us." May said.
"We all believe this." Fitz nodded, "Coulson won't give up on us, but the question is whether we can hold on until then."
"There aren't many survival supplies in this cabin," Simmons said dejectedly. "Food and water are secondary, but the most important thing is oxygen."
Gulu!
Skye's pupils dilated slightly and he swallowed nervously, "How long can we hold on?"
"Fitz calculated it carefully several times. If there is no problem..."
"How long exactly?"
"Half an hour at most."
"Half an hour?" Skye could no longer sit still. "No, suffocation is definitely the most painful way to die in the world. I don't want to experience it."
"Control your emotions, Skye," May warned. "Oxygen is limited. We may not last even half an hour if you keep going like this."
"I..." Skye sat down weakly, "We have to do something and find a way to save ourselves. We can't put all our hopes on Coulson."
"We agree with this very much." Simmons showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "but we have done what we should do."
"Use your intelligence!
Treat this as a test, maybe you can open this door!"
"Opening this door will only make us die faster." Fitz hesitated and said, "This is a hundred meters deep under the sea, not just a dozen meters or dozens of meters.
It’s best not to have any unrealistic ideas unless you want to experience what it feels like to drown.”
"So what can we do now?" Skye asked in annoyance.
"Pray or think about your last words." Mei said calmly, "I'm not kidding. If we die here, Coulson will definitely collect our bodies, and then he will see our last words."
"Mei, are you so pessimistic?"
"As an agent, it's a blessing to have time to leave your last words."
"I was wrong. You are not pessimistic. In a way, you are quite fortunate."
"At least we're alive now."
"Last words?" Skye pondered for a moment, "I want to find my parents, or at least know who they are.
Do you think Coulson will burn the files I want for me after I die?"
Hearing this, Fitz, Simmons, and May looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
The three of them could at least leave a few words for their parents, but Skye's last words seemed meaningless.
"If you can survive this time, we will go find Coulson together and make him give you an explanation." Fitz said seriously.
"Be optimistic, we will definitely survive," Simmons followed.
"Thank you for your comfort." Skye smiled, "But I also know that our chances of survival are very slim.
In half an hour, Coulson had to fly from the Triskelion Building to this sea area, accurately locate our position, and find a way to rescue us from the bottom of the sea a hundred meters deep.
I'm not trying to spoil the fun, but this is an impossible task no matter how you think about it."
Fitz and Simmons were silent, as they really had no way to refute.
"Not necessarily," May interrupted, "Others may not be able to do it, but Coulson may not be.
In the entire SHIELD, his connections are second only to Nick Fury, and he has a say even in the Avengers."
"Mei, you know how to comfort people." Simmons smiled, then stared out the window in a daze. Under the dim light, white bubbles rose from the seabed. "A hundred meters deep in the sea, do you think there will be creatures that humans have never discovered?"
"Simmons, your idea is dangerous, very dangerous." Fitz said speechlessly, "Pray that we won't encounter that kind of creature!
Above our heads is the habitat of whale sharks, and below our feet is the habitat of giant octopuses. Do you think it is a good thing to find unknown creatures between these two areas? "
"Well... I just said that casually, no..."
Boom!Boom!Boom!
Before Simmons finished speaking, his voice was interrupted by a strange crash.
Gulu!
Simmons swallowed and turned to look at the other three people with tears in his eyes.
Could it be that what she said was right? Is it really necessary to be so miserable?
The unknown creatures at a depth of 100 meters on the sea floor were knocking on the cabin in a very regular pattern, as if they were knocking on a door.
I just don't know whether it was hitting with tentacles or teeth. I hope it's a vegetarian creature, otherwise these few of them would not be enough to fill the gaps between its teeth.
Just as she was about to speak, she saw May making a gesture to keep quiet. Fitz, sweating profusely, used lip language to remind her not to make any sound. Skye was so nervous that she didn't move.
"Turn off the lights." Simmons quickly mouthed.
Fitz reacted immediately. They were now on the seabed with very low visibility. The cabin with the lights on was like a bright lighthouse, which would easily attract underwater creatures.
Fitz looked at May. She was the person closest to the light switch, and only she could turn off the light without any mistake.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
The knocking sound was heard again, but this time in a different direction.
Mei did not dare to delay, she moved her body quietly and carefully turned off the switch.
The cabin suddenly became pitch black. The four people could only see each other's figures with the faint light from outside, and their breathing inevitably became rapid.
The knocking sound disappeared, but the next moment a dark shadow appeared in front of the glass window, swallowing up the little remaining light.
The four people's hearts rose to their throats at this moment. Judging from the black shadow, the size of this marine creature must be quite large.
I hope they won't treat them as food! In such an environment, they have no ability to resist at all.
Outside the cabin, Aaron looked at the four people sitting upright, and a string of question marks floated over his head.
He really didn't expect that these people were still alive, and he was somewhat glad that he didn't use magic, otherwise he would have to delete their memories if they were seen.
But this is a bit impolite. He worked so hard to save people, what does it mean to turn off the lights? Does it make things more difficult for him?
Lowly, so fucking lowly.
Aaron cursed in his heart, then took out a diving flashlight from his space ring.
Through the glass window, light shone into the cabin, and then he heard a deafening scream.
"what!"
Simmons couldn't hold back and screamed. May quickly grabbed her arm and said, "It's not a sea creature, it's a flashlight. It's here to rescue us."
The screams quickly subsided, and the four of them looked towards the window together, and a familiar face appeared in their sight.
"It's Aaron." Skye was relieved, "That's great, we don't have to die."
Simmons also nodded continuously, a feeling of joy of surviving a disaster surged in his heart.
"Wait." Fitz looked at Aaron's naked upper body in doubt, "You just came down like this? Without any diving equipment?"
Aaron shook his head and wondered what the heck was diving equipment.
If he didn't find it troublesome, he would have no problem diving to the deepest part of the sea with a water-avoiding spell.
"Hi! You're really awesome!" Fitz gave a thumbs up in admiration, "Forget it, rescue us first! The oxygen here is running out."
Aaron made an OK gesture, grabbed a corner of the cabin, and pulled it upwards.
Before the four of them could react, they fell uncontrollably to the same side. May reacted quickly and caught Simmons and Skye, but Fitz unfortunately injured his arm.
They held on tightly to any solid objects around them to steady their bodies as the elevator rose rapidly.
As the water surface got closer and closer, the rippling waves came into view, and the four people who realized they were rescued couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Aaron dragged the cabin out of the water and jokingly asked, "How does it feel to survive a disaster? Or is it exciting to travel a hundred meters deep under the sea?"
"It's exciting, very exciting. I don't want to experience that kind of excitement a second time in my life." Fitz pretended to be calm, but his words were still a little incoherent, "Can you let us out first?
The capsule is completely sealed and we can’t open it from the inside.”
"This... no problem." Aaron grinned, holding the cabin with one hand to prevent it from falling into the seabed again under the influence of gravity, and taking out the red spider lily from the space ring with the other hand.
Fitz's expression changed, "What does this mean?"
"It's better to stay away."
"Wait, wait." Skye said hurriedly, "There's no need to be so crude! Can't we let the professionals do it?"
Aaron ignored him completely and pointed the gun at the door of the cabin. "Three, two... one."
Skye's eyes widened in disbelief, and before she could say something, she was dragged to the wall by May and Simmons.
boom!
With a loud bang, the golden bullet blasted a big hole in the door.
The cabin's defenses collapsed instantly, and Mei went straight up and kicked the door open.
call!
Skye took a deep breath and said casually, "This is the first time I feel that breathing is so beautiful."
"Let's get out first before we sigh!" Mei rolled her eyes and said, "The seawater has already come in, and the cabin will sink in a while."
Skye smiled dryly and nodded, but just as he was about to walk out, he suddenly froze.
She looked at the endless blue sea, feeling a little confused. "Even if there are no planes, at least a helicopter should be sent!"
"There's no helicopter." Simmons' expression also became strange, "There's not even a ship."
"Don't think too much, everyone." Aaron directly broke their hope, "I'm the only one here.
Because of Garrett's sudden joining, Coulson was worried that something might happen. After the situation in the Triskelion Building stabilized, he asked me to come and take care of it."
"An accident did happen." Mei said with a little embarrassment, "Garrett has a Centipede Squad to protect him, so... we failed, and the Airbus was taken away by them."
"Fortunately, I'm not too late."
"How did you get here?" Simmons asked with some difficulty, because the sea water had already reached their calves.
Aaron snapped his fingers, and the motorcycle floating in the air flew over and stopped steadily in front of him.
"This motorcycle, combined with Captain Jack's compass, gives us both speed and position."
"That's not surprising." Fitz said thankfully, "We are really lucky."
"But to be honest, when the compass needle pointed downward, I was a little hesitant. I didn't know whether I should collect your bodies."
Skye's face twitched, "It's too much to think like that!"
"Don't blame me for having this idea. After all, the probability of you being sunk into the sea after you die is too high, and I don't know how deep you sank." Ya Li said confidently, "I didn't bring any equipment. I don't need to tell you how dangerous it is to dive a hundred meters deep to find you alone!"
