Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

Suddenly, the submarine shook violently, followed by a low metallic sound.

"What's wrong?" Zhong Tiyun asked nervously.

"It must have hit something." Mu Mu quickly checked: "The shell is slightly damaged, but there is no leakage."

Qi Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Keep going and stay alert."

After driving about another kilometer, the trench ahead suddenly made a sharp turn.

"This bend... is too steep." Mu Mu took a breath and said, "We might have to take a risk."

Qi Mingyu took a deep breath and said, "Prepare to turn."

The submarine slowly approached the bend, and the water flow suddenly became turbulent, as if someone was secretly pushing it.

Qi Mingyu struggled to control the submarine, and it completed the turn with difficulty, but it still scraped against the outer rock wall, making a harsh metal friction sound.

"The right side of the shell is damaged," Mu Mu reported, "but the seal is intact."

After turning the bend, the trench gradually widens and the water flow becomes smoother.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

"We're only eight hundred meters away from leaving the trench." There was hope in Mu Mu's voice.

At this moment, the submarine suddenly shook violently, more violently than any time before.

They may be caught in the undercurrent vortex!

The moment the submarine was caught in the vortex of the undercurrent, the entire cabin seemed to be grasped by an invisible giant hand, making a dull metallic groan.

Qi Mingyu gripped the joystick tightly with both hands, his knuckles turning white. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, quickly scanning the various instrument panels.

"Hold on! Don't fight the current, follow its direction and find the exit!"

This was an instinctive reaction based on his many experiences sailing underwater.

In the deep sea, fighting against the powerful forces of nature is tantamount to self-destruction.

"The pressure on the right side of the shell is increasing!" Mu Mu's voice was urgent. "If this situation continues, the seal may be damaged again!"

"I know." Qi Mingyu's voice was calm, almost cold. "Give me all the external water flow data, quickly!"

"The water is flowing at a speed of 12 meters per second, and its direction is unstable, rotating clockwise." Mu Mu quickly reported the data: "We are being pulled towards the center of the vortex!"

Zhou Shuwan tried hard to concentrate. Although she was exhausted, her perception remained sharp.

She could "see" subtle changes in the water flow around the submarine, like an invisible net trapping them.

“There’s a countercurrent to the left,” she said weakly. “It’s weak, but it could be our way out.”

Qi Mingyu didn't hesitate at all: "Prepare to cut into the countercurrent, at a 30-degree angle, and maintain a steady speed."

The submarine was like a fish struggling in a rapid current, adjusting its posture with difficulty.

Along with the violent vibrations, everyone in the cabin could feel the powerful force dragging them into the abyss.

"There's still a chance!" Mu Mu suddenly shouted, "Fifty meters ahead, the direction of the water flow is changing!"

Qi Mingyu's eyes flashed with a gleam of light: "Now!"

The submarine suddenly cut into the countercurrent and held on to it like a life-saving straw.

The confluence of the two currents created a huge turbulence, in which the submarine shook violently, emitting a teeth-grinding metallic groan.

"There's a crack in the starboard seal!" Mu Mu's voice was filled with despair. "Seawater is seeping in!"

"I'll do it!" Zhou Jianghai and Zhong Tiyun rushed to the damaged area at the same time.

They are already very experienced at this point!

The cold sea water has begun to splash. In the low temperature of the deep sea, a person's fingers can lose feeling in a few seconds.

"Hold on!" Qi Mingyu's voice was like a taut string: "We are about to escape the vortex!"

Zhou Shuwan rushed to the leaking area at once. Without seeing how she moved, a black high-strength alloy plate appeared out of thin air at the gap.

"Hold it!" she whispered, her hands seeming to push something in the air.

The alloy plate fit precisely on the crack, and a circle of white sealant instantly emerged around it, as if squeezed out by an invisible hand, quickly filling all the gaps.

"Sister, the water pressure is too great, you still need to hold on!" Mu Mu shouted.

Zhou Shuwan pursed her lips tightly, her head aching so much that it felt like it was about to explode, but she was trying her best to endure it.

Another thick steel plate appeared on the inside of the alloy plate, firmly supporting the external pressure.

"And there!" Zhong Tiyun pointed to a small hole at the edge of the crack that was leaking water.

A sealing bolt appeared out of thin air and was screwed into the small hole precisely, stopping the leakage instantly.

"Alright! We've stabilized it for now!" Zhou Jianghai breathed a sigh of relief, but his voice was still tense. "But this is just a temporary measure. We must leave this area as soon as possible to carry out thorough repairs!"

Zhou Jianghai and Zhong Tiyun's hands were numb from the cold because they had to block the seawater from pouring in from the damaged area.

Zhou Shuwan took out several military coats and thermoses.

After handing it to two people, he ran out of strength and fell on the chair.

I closed my eyes and felt dizzy.
