Bloodlines of the Marvel Universe

"I need help here!"

Standing on a step, Valentine held the long door bolt above his head with both hands. The muscles in his arms made the wet chef's uniform bulge high. Even after twisting with all his strength, the valve above his head still did not move at all. He had to Ask others for help.

After coming out of the pipeline, he was not idle and immediately started looking for a new escape route.

After searching around, I only found this one exit that was promising to reach the upper level.

"I come!"

Without the need for Kahn to take action, Dylan and Valentin worked together to successfully unscrew the valve.

After the valve opened, Valentine grabbed the possession inside, pulled it upward, and jumped up.

After sending Elena and Wanda up the ladder, Kahn asked aloud: "Where does this lead?"

"Ballast tank."

Dylan answered everyone's doubts: "There are still two more floors to climb, so hurry up!"

'Duang~'

Listening to the sound of surging waves under his feet, Kahn climbed out of the pipe and immediately closed the valve.

Seeing this, Dylan, who was waiting aside, skillfully tightened the door bolt.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, it was confirmed that they were temporarily freed from the 'pursuit' of the sea water, and everyone's tense spirits finally relaxed.

The old and weak, including Richard, Elena, Connor and his son, who were in relatively poor health, sat slumped aside, breathing heavily.

Although it only took ten minutes to get from the atrium to the ballast water tank, it was a huge test for ordinary people like them who neglected to exercise, both physically and mentally.

Looking at the rusty, cramped, damp little room, Elena asked curiously: "What is the ballast sink?"

"Pour in seawater to balance the pressure inside the hull."

After replying casually, Dylan immediately turned his attention to the circular valve in front: "That valve leads to another sink. Maybe you can find the exit."

"Maybe?" "What exit?"

Ignoring these meaningless questions, Lambci frowned and looked at it carefully for a while, then said solemnly: "Wait a minute, this is a high-pressure valve, it requires a lot of pressure to open.

With just a few of us..."

Richard also recognized the identity of the valve and said dejectedly: "We are trapped to death."

"Stuck to death? That's not necessarily the case. There is a way to open it." Dilan's tone was extremely confident.

"How?"

"Fill this tank with sea water."

"Watt?" "Are you crazy?!" "This will directly kill us!"...

This time, except for Kahn and his party, everyone else exclaimed.

Unlike his daughter, Lambci quite agreed with the method proposed by the former sailor: "Yes, this is the only way."

"No need to be so troublesome."

Arriving under the high-pressure valve, Kahn looked back at Dylan and asked, "Are there any flammable and explosive items on the other side?"

"No, what?"

"It's fine if you don't."

Pulling out the folded spear pinned to the left rib, Kahn pressed his thumb lightly in the middle of the spear body.

'Shin! '

The 'short stick' as long as a flashlight instantly expanded into a silver-white spear with extremely cold edges, attracting everyone's attention.

"Zalichet, where did you buy this?!"

Chris, a young man, couldn't help but exclaimed, his eyes shining.

so cool!

He really wanted one too.

"Stay back a little bit."

Ignoring the surprised, fearful, or envious looks of these passers-by, Kahn waved his hand and motioned to the onlookers behind him to stay away to avoid accidental injuries later.

After everyone retreated to the other side of the bulkhead, Kahn raised his spear and thrust it out at the edge of the circular valve in front of him, easily piercing the circular valve in front of him.

Then, turn the spear body and draw a circle along the edge of the round valve.

'clang! '

Gu Mo put away his spear, Kahn patted the disconnected circular valve, and a hole with a diameter of one meter appeared on the bulkhead in front of him.

Getting closer and scanning the scene on the other side of the valve, Kahn couldn't help but frowned: "The seawater has spread outside, we have to act quickly."

"But what's next?"

Valentine's voice became lower and lower: "I'm just a chef. I rarely come to the bottom of the cabin. I'm completely unfamiliar with the routes here."

"I'm going out to explore."

Seeing this, Dylan had no choice but to take over this responsibility.

He could already hear the rolling sound of the water outside.

If this continues, they will all drown here sooner or later.

'Plop~'

Holding the smooth surface with both hands, he jumped up using his hands and feet. Dylan jumped out of the hole and landed in the sea water on the opposite side.

In the ballast water tank, everyone stared at the hole anxiously and prayed silently.

Ten seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute...

"Why hasn't Dylan come back yet?"

"He wouldn't have..."

"Is he abandoning us and planning to escape alone?"

……

……

After not seeing the other party for a long time, Elena and others began to panic.

"Don't worry, just wait."

Holding the long, straight black girl's hand, Kahn comforted her and said, "If it doesn't work, I'll go out to explore the road."

As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar male voice came from outside the cabin door: "There is an exit below!"

After receiving this news, everyone in the ballast tank was happy.

"Don't worry, go out one by one!"

Seeing the crowd, Kahn hurriedly stood up to maintain order.

After sending all the people in the ballast tank over, Kahn was the last one to come out.

After falling behind, he found that the situation was worse than expected.

The water in this tank has reached his chest and is still rising slowly.

If it were not for the support of several adults, children like Wanda would definitely sink completely into the water.

"How to go?"

Faced with everyone's inquiries, Dilan said loudly: "The exit is below, we need to dive and swim there!"

"how far?"

"It's about 30 meters."

After replying, Dylan asked instead: "Who can't swim?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Maggie couldn't wait to hold up her son: "Connor can't!"

"I……"

Dylan was about to speak, but Chris next to him beat him to it: "I'll carry him. I was on the swimming team in high school."

Hearing this, Dilan did not compete with the other party for this task.

He needs to lead the way. If he carries a burden with him, it will greatly slow down the progress of the entire team.

Looking at it, holding Elena's arm, Wanda lowered her head and hesitated to speak: "I, I..."

"Elena, you will be with Pietro later and keep an eye on him."

Seeing the strange look on the little witch's face, Kahn still didn't understand what the other party wanted to say, so he looked at his girlfriend and said, "Wanda, leave it to me."

"be careful."

Nodding, Elena looked at the spirited guy next to her and said, "Pietro, can you swim?"
