Chapter 72 Deep Sea

Philippine Strait.

Sure enough, as Amanda Waller said, the sea storm that lasted for a week seems to be more arrogant today than ever. The gust of wind whistled on the water, and a white spray jumped high into the air. After accumulating enough kinetic energy, it slammed back to the surface. There was thunder and rain in the sky, and lightning fell from the dark clouds, reflecting blue-white light on the sea.

Science has been unable to explain this unusual climate, and most of the locals have turned to superstition for an explanation. More and more people are beginning to believe that this is the wrath of God, and some doomsdays have even spread rumors that this is the harbinger of the flood that will destroy humanity in the Book of Genesis.

According to expert analysis, unknown particles that may affect electronic equipment are floating even underwater, which makes the approach of submarines dangerous. Of course, neither planes nor ships can pass through such crazy waves. The crazy weather has almost made this sea area a restricted area, and any known means of human beings cannot approach it.

But not everyone.

A red and blue shadow suddenly pierced the black cloud, like a fierce wind breaking into the stormy world. Jay swooped at supersonic speeds toward the choppy waters, rain slammed on his cheeks and goggles, wet hair stuck to his forehead, and his red cloak soaked in the water pulled straight by the wind.

Yes, he accepted Waller's call for help anyway, because she said Helena lost contact down here last night. Waller said she was carrying only enough oxygen to last for three hours, and ten hours had passed since she was in the water, and there was little hope.

But that's Helena Wayne, she wouldn't die so easily in a place like this, would she?

Jay kept himself as optimistic as he could, and plunged into the water with a thud, sounding like a sea cannon on the water. He dragged a long string of water bubbles and sank into the dark and deep sea, accelerating towards the bottom of the sea at a very high speed.

In addition to this set of Superman shirts, he did not bring any equipment to dive underwater. In the absence of lights, it was dark in all directions, and it was desperately lonely. But that's only for ordinary people, and what Jay sees is not the same. He can see countless lives inhabiting this quiet water, many planktons and microorganisms that he is not known to linger in the dark green water around him, the bottom is covered with corals and aquatic plants, and small creatures are swaying softly. Drilling in and out of the grass, it is like a small world full of life.

However, this vitality slowly disappeared as he gradually approached his destination. He flew towards the coordinates of the last signal from Helena provided by Waller, and the plankton and aquatic plants in his field of vision became less and less, and finally, there was almost no trace.

He found the last coordinates where Waller claimed that Helena had lost contact, but when he arrived at the destination, he couldn't help being stunned, stopped, and landed on the bottom of the sea.

Before he set off, Waller showed him the topographic map Helena had sent back to headquarters on the sonar, and Jay had only glanced at it and burned every detail of the map into his mind. He is so confident in the memory of his super brain that he will never miss even the tiniest detail in the picture. And now that he was standing directly above the designated coordinates, the scene he saw did not resemble the terrain he remembered in the slightest.

The sonar map Helena sent back was full of rocks, large and small, scattered high and low, but now his boots were stepping on just flat ground. And the most important thing in the picture - the huge rock where Helena and her partner were missing, Jay looked around in a radius of fifty miles, and none of the rocks met the criteria.

At this moment, he seemed to hear some kind of sound, some kind of... machine-like sound, and it came from directly below.

Yes, he knew how bizarre it sounded. A machine that was buried 100 meters deep in the ground sounded like nonsense unless it was a submarine that happened to be equipped with an underground drill. But he trusted his ears more than common sense, and it rarely went wrong.

Jay used his eyes to shoot X-rays downward, trying to see what was hidden underneath, but the X-rays he shot seemed to be absorbed by some substance at the bottom as if sinking into the sea didn't bring back feedback for a long time. This made him a little more vigilant, and at the same time, he was more convinced that there was another world below.

Drilling through seafloor rock at unknown depths might seem incredible to others, but it wasn't a problem for Jay at all. Don't say it's just a layer of seabed rock, even if he drills into the center of the earth from here, it will not be difficult.

So he stood up straight, his arms crossed in front of his chest, his feet together, and the whole figure spun like a top. His body gradually accelerated, and soon it turned into a red and blue whirlwind. The dust on the seabed rose between the fluttering water bubbles, and the turbid water body rotated at high speed with the airflow, stirring the water body into chaos.

This is a trick he learned from superman in the comics. He uses his high-speed rotating body as an electric drill to drill rock, and it is enough to penetrate the center of the earth in an instant. The red and blue figure was quickly obscured by the flying dust. He sank to the ground at a very fast speed, and the million-ton seawater chased his body and poured into the hole he drilled through.

His speed was extremely fast, and he drilled down to a depth of tens of meters in just a split second, until the soles of his feet suddenly became empty. He drilled through the entire rock formation and fell into an open cave. The million tons of seawater following him were all isolated by an invisible barrier at the exit, which looked quite spectacular.

Jay couldn't help but start to doubt his eyes a little, because what he was seeing didn't quite make sense—some invisible energy propped up a huge void in the undersea space, and there wasn't even a drop of water in it. His body was able to pass through the energy barrier without any obstruction, but the seawater behind him was blocked without a single drop. But at least the space was filled with musty air, which lifted Jay's spirit - if Helena also came here for some special reason, then she had a good chance of still alive.

And he quickly found the source of the sound he heard the machine running. A huge metal iron door stood in front of him, blocking the entire way. The cracks in the door are twisted and twisted, and the metal material of the outer casing has never been seen before. He is very sure that this is not earth technology, it is this kind of thing that absorbs the X-rays emitted by his eyes and blocks his perspective.

But no matter what it is, as long as it is smashed open, there are few entrances in this world that his fists can't solve.

Jay raised his fist and hit the metal door like a hammer. He also controlled the strength of the first punch. He didn't want to destroy the stability of the cave space due to excessive force, but the power of this punch was enough to open any door in the world.

Well, maybe not anyone, because at least this one won't work.

The impact of the fist and the metal made a long and harsh echo. The gravel and gravel fell from the top of the cave like a drizzle. The heavy loud sound reflected back and forth in the enclosed space, and the entire cave began to vibrate violently, like an earthquake. But the metal door remained motionless, and there was not even a single dent on the outer shell.

This was unexpected. Jay frowned, raised his fist again, and was about to push harder for another punch. But at this time a system inside the door seemed to be activated. Jay heard the machine speeding behind the metal layer, and the components in the center of the door began to rotate and shift, revealing a hand symbol in the center. An electronically synthesized female voice murmured a long list of words he did not understand—a language he was sure was not part of any country on Earth, before switching to English: "Please identify yourself."

Jay was stunned for a while, and subconsciously glanced at the hand-shaped sign, and probably understood that this meant that it needed to be verified.

He thought for a while, and with the mentality of a dead horse being a living horse doctor, he stretched out his palm and pressed the handprint.

Jay barely dropped his jaw when the door's system quickly scanned the palm of his attached palm and made a crisp "ding" sound. The electronic synthesis voice said to him friendly in English: "The Kryptonian gene has been detected, and the verification has passed. Welcome, son of Krypton." Then the door opened with an incomparably heavy roar, revealing a long black passage to him.

Jay stared at the metal door, which was easily opened, and was stunned for a while with his mouth open. After a long time, he finally digested an obvious fact——

- This is the entrance to a Kryptonian ship.
