Chapter 362: Black Manta's Goal
“Everyone prepare to disembark the submarine.”
Black Manta issued the order over the squad's Communication Channel. Six submarines came to an orderly halt behind a Reef approximately six hundred meters from the Pyramid Building.
The bottom hatches of the six submarines opened one after another. Each small submarine carried two people, making the entire Underwater squad, including Black Manta, a total of twelve. This squad, as silent as Ghosts, stealthily approached their target.
Black Manta, leading the team, stopped behind the last Reef. Beyond it was an unobstructed Seabed, and Aquatic Race spotlights were constantly sweeping across the area.
‘Disperse.’ Black Manta sent the command through the Communication Device. Symbols representing dispersal appeared on all team members' helmets simultaneously.
Although the Equipment Black Manta and his squad were wearing had been upgraded by the Illuminati, they were still Humans after all. They couldn't compare to the Aquatic Race who treated Deep Sea water pressure as nothing. Even a small breach in their Armor could cost them their Life.
“Team B, are the Decoy Bombs in position?” Black Manta contacted the other squad.
“Report, installation complete, ready for use at any time, Captain.”
“Very good.” Black Manta quietly observed the Aquatic Race patrol Troops. “Team A, report status.”
“Report, Team A is in position, ready for Action at any time.”
Black Manta nodded, and then, connecting to both Communication Channels, said, “3, 2, 1, Action begins.”
“Boom!”
As Black Manta’s Words fell, a muffled sound suddenly erupted. The Impact Force of the Explosion created a huge wave in the Seabed, even disrupting the Formation of the Aquatic Guard Force near the Pyramid Building.
“Swish!”
Using the Anchor Nails on their Equipment, Black Manta and his squad clung tightly to the Reef like starfish, not a single person exposed.
“What’s going on!” The Guard Captain calmed the Seahorse beneath him, Control-ling the Seahorse to swim out of the Crowd, wanting to see clearly what had happened.
“Report, it seems like an Explosion occurred not far away.” A Guard with a slightly higher Position stepped forward and explained to the Captain.
“Which area did the Explosion occur in?”
“Based on the Distance estimation, probably in the Minefield.”
Hearing his Subordinate's Report, the Guard Captain’s Brain began to work rapidly. The Minefield ahead was the Ambush they had set up and were guarding. There should be no Life Activity in that area, meaning it was very likely that intruders were attacking.
“Vice Captain, you take a team to stay behind, I’ll take another team to check the situation.”
The Guard Captain waved his hand, pulling the reins. The partner beneath him, who had fought alongside him for many years, immediately understood. With a cry, it rushed out, and a squad followed closely behind the Guard Captain, just like they had rehearsed.
“Yes!”
Although the Captain could no longer hear him, the Vice Captain still honestly responded.
As the squad led by the Captain disappeared into the darkness, the Seabed once again fell into darkness.
“Increase vigilance, continue patrolling!” The Vice Captain turned to the remaining Team Members and issued Orders. Just at this moment, an unexpected change occurred.
“Whoosh!”
A sharp Sound split the Water. The Vice Captain immediately turned his head, a sharp Harpoon was already only a body's length away from him. At this critical moment of Life and Death, the mount beneath him reacted.
Just like the first time he tamed his warhorse, the old partner beneath him suddenly became violent and threw him off. However, unlike the first time, this time his old partner could no longer look at him with violent Eyes.
The Harpoon dug into the Seahorse's neck. A headless Seahorse slowly floated down, scarlet Fresh Blood instantly burst open, the Blood mist obscuring the Line of Sight ahead.
“No!” The Vice Captain roared. He raised the Weapon in his hand, his scarlet Eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.
“Everyone prepare for battle!”
In fact, without the Vice Captain's command, the well-trained Soldiers had already lined up and raised the Weapons in their hands. Thanks to the special Underwater Environment, as long as the Aquatic Race Soldiers lined up, they could keep a 360-degree Dead Corner watch.
“咻!”
A Sound distorted by the Water came. Two scarlet Light Beams pierced through the Blood mist and shot straight towards the Guard Team.
The Soldiers, who were already prepared, pulled the Trigger in their hands the moment they saw the Light Beams. The Light Beams from both sides collided head-on.
“Boom!”
The Explosion caused by the collision of the two Energies scattered the Blood mist in the Water. Black Manta’s Figure appeared in front of all the Guards.
“It’s Black Manta!” Although the Vice Captain gritted his Teeth in hatred, his Reason remained. He knew that the enemy in front of them was not someone they could handle. He chose to contact the Guard Captain who had left and Atlantis at the first Time, wanting to get Reinforcements.
“Move out!”
With a wave of Black Manta’s hand, Team A, who had been Ambush-ing, stood up one after another. They were in pairs, one of them holding something like a Rocket Launcher. As they pulled the Trigger, cone-shaped Cannonballs shot towards the Guards in the Center of the Encirclement.
“Disperse!” The Vice Captain ordered loudly. A Guard grabbed his Hand, wanting to take the Captain without a mount away, but his Plan was destined to fail.
“Bang!”
The cone-shaped Cannonballs suddenly exploded, turning into Nets. These suddenly appearing fishing nets blocked all escape routes for the Guards.
With the Dust settled, Black Manta no longer looked at the group of Guards and turned to swim towards the Pyramid Building. At the same time, he issued an Order to his Subordinate beside him.
“Kill them.”
Ignoring the wails and Blood mist behind him, Black Manta took the lead and arrived at the Door of the Building. The first thing he saw was the Lock on the Door. Logically speaking, Black Manta should be looking for the Key at this Time, but Black Manta was not the kind of person to follow rules.
Increasing the output of the Visor on his Helmet, two Rays far thicker than before burst out from his Visor, scorching the Door in front of him.
As the temperature continued to rise, the sturdy Door was burned red-hot, and a Hole as tall as a person was cut out by him.
Kicking the Door, without Black Manta’s Order, Team A, who had dealt with the Guard Team, entered in an orderly manner. After all his Subordinates had entered, Black Manta then went in.
Turning on the Spotlight on his Combat Suit, the first thing Black Manta saw was his Goal, a Meat Chunk preserved in a huge transparent Glass Jar. The Meat Chunk had many Tentacles, but they seemed to have lost their Activity, all lying limply in the Glass Jar.
Facing the seemingly dead target, Black Manta was not disappointed at all. It was better this way. All he needed was the DNA of the Meat Chunk in front of him. This harmless State was the best, saving him the effort of snatching food from a tiger’s mouth.
“Move.”
