After Adhai finished her meal, we set off for the island where the research base was located. Despite not having fully recovered from her injuries, Adhai knew there was no time to waste.

It had been 4 days since Adhai had escaped the research facility. Given the considerable length of time, its uncertain what hardships Number 26 endured during that period.

Since the fishrians are with Number 26, there shouldnt be any immediate threat to its life.

However, just because there are no visible threats doesnt mean everything is fine. Researchers might administer painful substances to Number 26 for experiments.

Considering its unpleasant memories of the laboratory.

The longer Number 26 remains trapped, the worse itll be for it. We must rescue it as soon as possible.

Adhai mentioned that the research base seems to be underwater.

Though not precise, it appears Adhai escaped using some sort of underwater elevator-like mechanism. The intelligent Green Gallagon wouldnt have operated the elevator alone; it must have been with Number 26s assistance.

Well know more when we arrive.

At present, I am carrying Adhai and the Mother of the Sky on my back, swimming. Despite my considerable weight, I can float with the two beasts on my back thanks to my wing trait. The wing membrane, folded between my six battle arms, prevents me from completely submerging.

The claws between my fingers, the claws attached all over my body, serve as propellers. Adhai is carrying the loot backpack on his chest since I couldnt attach it to my tail.

I had acquired fin characteristics along with water claw traits in the previous marshlands. Hence, fins similar to wing membranes protruded on both sides of my tail. Although slower than when moving on land, I could swim at speeds surpassing most boats.

Of course, my swimming skills werent perfect, so occasionally my body would sink underwater while moving. However, neither Adhai nor the Mother of the Sky had any problems, as they could both fly.

Swimming diligently, I asked Adhai,

How much farther do we have to go?

Me, Darkness, Once, Adult, Speed, Similar.

Adhai had been hiding on one of the many islands scattered around the military island after her escape. She had been hiding until she sensed the psychic breath I emitted and flew over for a whole day.

According to Adhai, we should arrive tonight at the earliest, or by tomorrow morning at the latest.

Thanks to swimming throughout the night, the sun was now rising in the middle of the sky. As I pondered how much longer we had left, Adhai called out to me.

Me, Adult, Question.

[ZZZ ZZ ZZZ (What is it?)]

Adhai hesitated, finding it difficult to speak up first.

[ZZZZ ZZ ZZZ ZZ ZZZ (Dont apologize. Its not your fault.)]

Whether she understood and accepted my words or not, she remained silent the whole journey.

To comfort Adhai, I used my absorption tentacles to catch fish and offered them to her. Without refusing and seemingly aware of the need for a quick recovery, she accepted the fish eagerly, munching on them.

I also handed fish to the Mother of the Sky, our fellow traveler. Before departing, I had explained the rough plan to her. While I descended to the research base in the deep sea, she would oversee the Fishrian village.

To do that, you need to gather strength.New novel chapters are published on

Despite knowing the plan, it seemed challenging for her to adapt to receiving food from me. Awkwardly, she started eating the fish slowly.

After traveling for a while, we arrived when the sun in the sky had already disappeared below the horizon. On a lone island among many, artificial lights were visible. Water structures extending from the islands shore to the nearby sea the village where Fishrians reside.

Next to the water structures, an alloy submarine was floating. Its appearance resembled an escape pod positioned on MegaCorps spaceships.

Beside the submarine stood Fishrians with fish heads and spiky fins, alongside humans. After exchanging words with the Fishrians, the humans filled the submarine with what appeared to be fruits.

I cant believe they were actually conducting trades. Unbelievable.

[ZZZZ (Indeed)]

After concluding their trade, the humans boarded the submarine and departed from the water structures, heading somewhere.

[ZZZ ZZZZ ZZZ ZZ ZZZ (We should part ways here)]

Unlike the Mother of the Sky, Adhai is almost incapable of underwater combat. So, its better for both of them to take charge of the Fishrian village.

Yeah, me and the Green Gal um, Adhai will take care of that village.

Adult, Little Adult, Help

[Zoom (Yes)]

Adhai, on my back, spread his wings wide. Though he slightly flinched, perhaps due to lingering pain, he soon vigorously flapped his wings.

Following him, the Mother of the Sky attempted to lift her body to follow Adhai. Before that happened, I called out to her.

[ZZZZ ZZZ ZZZ ZZ ZZZZ ZZZ ZZ (Adhai is still not well, so please take care)]

Alright.

She nodded once and controlled the air to follow behind Adhai, flying over the sea.

Having sent them off, I submerged in the direction of the submarine. Since it was nighttime, there was almost nothing visible, but I have auxiliary devices. Four auxiliary organs extending beneath my jaw began sensing underwater vibrations, tracking the submarines movement.

Its this way.

Nevertheless, just in case, Chen Hai kept walking.

While heading to the F sector, he felt the corridors temperature drop abruptly.

Did the temperature regulator break?

The research base, where they are, has a system to adjust the internal environment to perform research without hindrance even in extreme conditions such as the deep sea, outer space, or volcanic areas. The temperature control device seemed to have malfunctioned, turning the previously warm corridor into a chilling one like a freezer.

Confirming his breath forming in front of his mouth, Chen Hai contemplated whether he should return to his room now. At that moment, the corridors power went out all at once.

After a while, emergency power came in, and the entire corridor was bathed in a red light.

Damn, whats going on all of a sudden?

Now that its like this, he must find out what happened. He decided to go to the B sector where the situation room is located, instead of the F sector.

Once he passes through this corridor and turns the corner, theres another corridor leading to the B sector. He walked, embracing both arms in the harsh cold.

The sound of a collision between solid alloy and indoor shoes echoed, making a crisp sound.

Hmm? Sounds like water?

Only then did Chen Hai feel something odd and looked down at the floor.

In no time, the corridor floor turned into an underwater sea. It was only recognized belatedly due to the darkness caused by the red light.

Whats this?

Only then did he realize the extremely dangerous situation. The thunderous noise resembling what he thought was thunder outside earlier was not the sound of monsters fighting.

The base is flooding!

It was the sound of water seeping into the base. However, his realization came too late. Water was pouring in from the corridor ahead, connected to the situation room.

Ugh, aaaaah!

He urgently turned and ran, but he couldnt possibly outrun the rapidly incoming seawater.

Colder than an ice sheet, the water engulfed Chen Hais body.

Aaargh!

As he was being swept away by the water, Chen Hai grabbed the doorknob in the corridor. The vigorously pouring water reached up to his shoulders and then briefly eased in a moment of respite.

Perhaps the central computer of the research base automatically sealed off the flooded area.

Damn! What a disaster!

Having turned into a drowned rat, Chen Hai moved on to reach the situation room.

II might lose? Damn, I wont give up just because of this small disaster especially when the Prime Capital is in my grasp!

He grabbed the documents and laptop that had floated down during the flood. They were materials that could cause a commotion in academia, so he must not lose them.

Only armed with determination, Chen Hai endured the frigid temperature of the cold seawater in the deep sea, moving forward.

How long had he walked? The characters attached to the corridor wall changed to B. Thinking that there wasnt much left, he increased his pace.

After walking like that, he saw the upper body of a person in front of him. Due to the red light, he couldnt see clearly, but instead of a white gown, the person wore a bluish work suit.

Thinking that the other person belonged to the facilities management team, Chen Hai called out.

Hey! Whats going on?

Although he shouted loudly, there was no response. Since there was no sound other than the sound of water, there was no chance that the person hadnt heard.

Hey, Middle Capital guy! Whats happening!

.

Chen Hai shouted again as he approached.

As he got closer, he could see the facilities management staff more clearly. Wearing what he thought was a blue work suit, his clothes were now dyed red with blood.

And behind that team member.

Under the red light, a giant creature was devouring a human head with gusto.

Uh, uh, uh.

Seeing that sight, Chen Hai felt his spine chill, and his trembling body couldnt be controlled.

The monster that had swallowed the entire head turned to face Chen Hai. Even in the darkness, its two eyes shone brightly.

The number of humans inside is approximately several hundred.

He, heehee!

A deep male voice flowed from its mouth. Chen Hai screamed and threw away the laptop and documents he was holding.

It extended a tentacle-like appendage, capturing Chen Hai trying to escape.

With this much prey he should be satisfied enough.

Observing Chen Hai trembling in fear, it leisurely murmured.
