Josh was completely unrecognizable now; even she might not recognize herself. How could her teammates recognize her?

She tentatively summoned her weapon, expelling Spider Silk.

Fortunately, the Spider Silk still worked.

Josh breathed a sigh of relief and glanced above her head.

She must be in a very deep part of the sea. At this time, it was supposed to be midday in the game, with the weather showing as clear skies.

If she wasn’t too far from the surface, she should at least be able to see a hint of sunlight.

But when she looked up, she saw nothing but darkness.

Not only was there nothing to see, but she couldn’t see any other surroundings either. There was only darkness and deep red light, which emanated from these large jellyfish.

Everyone seemed to be asleep, barely moving at all.

This was Josh’s first time as a sea creature; it felt quite magical.

Her body was incredibly light, and she was extremely sensitive to changes in the surrounding water flow and temperature. She hardly needed any instruments or vision to accurately perceive changes around her.

She extended her Spider Silk to its furthest limit to understand the situation around her.

For now, she could only wait for her teammates to find her.

Her first task was to wait for her teammates to join her.

Until her teammates arrived, she didn’t have any other tasks to perform.

Aboard the ship.

Yuze and the other four wore white protective suits. The material was peculiar, resembling something used to guard against viruses. But when it got wet, it would transform, although it hadn’t been fully submerged, so what it would become was unclear.

It seemed to be some kind of high-tech protective suit.

They also wore something similar to gas masks.

Players from different teams were confined in separate laboratories. They had to open the lab doors to find the sea entrance.

The various labs were divided by glass walls, containing experimental instruments, numerous light cables, and suspended screens displaying continuously running data.

If it weren’t for the constant warnings and red triangle alerts on the screens, they might have thought it was a normally functioning ship.

Rob and the others searched for a long time but still couldn’t find the exit.

Jiang Can looked at Yuze: "Captain, what now?"

Yuze was standing in front of the glass wall, observing people from other teams.

Rob approached: "Captain, what are you looking at?"

Yuze raised his chin slightly: "Notice anything? Almost every team is missing someone."

Rob looked over in confusion; other teams had about four or five people, sometimes five or six.

The number varied and wasn’t fixed.

He looked at Yuze, puzzled: "How do you know they’re missing someone?"

Yuze: "Look at their expressions."

Rob was baffled.

Yuze, unwilling to explain further, just touched the glass wall.

While other teams still searched aimlessly for a way to open the door, a sudden explosion drew everyone’s attention. They saw Yuze casually walking out from the glass shard ruins, hands in pockets, with his teammates following close behind.

Other teams grimaced at the sight.

They had considered breaking the glass to escape, but no matter how hard they tried, the glass seemed to absorb their strength, preventing them from breaking it.

They didn’t know how Yuze’s team managed it.

Someone bravely shouted: "Yu, can you help us too?"

Yuze ignored them, leading his team away.

The disappointed person knew Yuze probably wouldn’t save them, but being so openly disregarded still stung.

They watched Yuze’s retreating figure with a hint of resentment in their eyes.

Yuze’s team quickly found their way to the deck. Once on the deck, they could locate the descent point, but the path to the deck was sealed.

Rob asked: "Should we force our way out here to get up?"

Yuze punched the seal, shattering it instantly.

Rob was about to climb when Yuze stopped him again.

"What’s wrong, Captain?" Rob asked, confused but touched: "Are you worried I’ll get hurt going first?"

Yuze flicked him on the head to stop his starry-eyed look: "Something’s off."

Jiang Can scratched his head: "What’s wrong?"

Yuze: "It’s too easy."

He suddenly turned around, looking back.

Where they had come from was pitch black, like a giant beast’s mouth, ready to swallow them whole at any moment.

He suddenly sent Josh a message: [Are you sure you’re at the sea bottom?]

Josh quickly replied: [?]

Yuze: [Send me a picture of your surroundings.]

Josh soon sent a picture.

The image showed complete darkness, with only red jellyfish emitting a faint red glow in the dark.

The jellyfish varied in height, and tiny filaments covered their surface, resembling a microscopic world of bacteria inside a human body.

Yuze frowned slightly and backed away: "Josh is still on the ship."

"On the ship?" Rob blinked in confusion: "Didn’t you say she was at the sea bottom, Captain?"

Yushi asked softly: "Why is she on the ship?"

Yuze said: "We’ve been moving upward, and by the speed, we’ve risen at least ten meters. Yet in the lab, the sound of the sea was at least ten meters below. Twenty meters up and down is about the height of a building. If the ship was just a landing point, they wouldn’t have made such a large map, no need."

Yushi: "I don’t get it. What’s that got to do with whether she’s on the ship?"

Yuze: "I can’t explain it; it’s just a hunch."

Jiang Can nodded: "It’s okay, Captain, we’ll follow you."

Yuze nodded: "We’re going back, head downwards."

They all nodded in agreement.

As they turned to head back, the return path was not as bright as before; instead, it became darker, almost impossible to see the way.

"Rob," Yuze suddenly spoke.

Rob jumped in fright, quickly hiding behind him: "What is it, Captain?"

Yuze: "Use your wings as a light."

Rob: "... Captain, my wings have dignity too."

Yuze nudged him to the front in the darkness.

Soon, the dark corridor was illuminated by soft white light.

Rob, flapping his large wings, looked like a walking target in the dark, face blackened with anger but unable to speak out as he lit the way.

The comments section was in stitches.

[Who doesn’t know that Little Meng’s wings spell life or death every time they appear!]

[Whenever the wings appear, it’s a major event! Reduced to lighting the way for teammates now; my heart goes out to Little Meng!]

[Don’t cry, babe; this clearly shows the diversity of your wings’ features. In the soft light, your face looks even more beautiful!]
