Accompanied by a wave and rippling water, the submersible surged out of the sea.
The afternoon sun was shining brightly on the ocean, its rays giving the submersible's thick hull an icy glow. Then, the disposable smoke device on the top of the hull activated, flashing with firelight, followed by a faint explosion, and an orange smoke pillar rose straight into the blue sky.
After a period of posture and power adjustment, the submersible stabilized in its floating state. With creaking sounds, the locking mechanism on the side of the hull opened, and Duncan turned the handle from inside to open the hatch of the submersible.
Fresh air rushed in—even for two "corpses" that did not need to breathe, the fresh, cool breeze above the sea seemed quite comforting and pleasant.
