With the help of her flashlight's beam, Jenny could see that the seabed ahead had dropped off sharply in a fault-like manner, forming a cliff.
Not only that, she could also see numerous thick, long strip-like objects. These things twisted and snaked upward from the seabed. There were so many of them, a dense mass.
[Oh my god, what the hell are those things ahead? Sea pythons?]
[No, why do I feel like they're more like tentacles of some giant octopus?]
[Conservative estimate, each of these tentacles is at least thirty meters long!]
[Shit, this scene is so damn Cthulhu. My scalp is going numb!]
[Shit, don't swim any further! These things look so fucking terrifying.]
[It really feels like there's a giant sea monster lurking here!!!]
The viewers in the live stream instantly erupted. Anyone who saw twisting, tentacle-like things appear in the ocean would feel their scalp go numb!
Jenny also stopped advancing. She looked down and saw that the direction indicated by her wristband for Escape Pod Number 2 was right at the very bottom of this group of mysterious tentacles.
A conflicted expression appeared on Jenny's face.
"Beep. You have received a radio transmission. Play it?" Gaia's voice suddenly rang out again.
"Play it." Jenny muttered.
"This is Escape Pod Number 2. Outside... outside there's something. It's constantly ramming the escape pod. I don't think I can hold on much longer. Number 5, please hurry and save me. I'm begging you, waaah!"
It was still that woman's voice, but this time it sounded even more panicked. She had begun pleading desperately. Moreover, in the background of the transmission, Jenny could indeed hear banging sounds.
Wait a second...
Jenny listened carefully. Bang! Bang! Bang!
Even after the broadcast had ended, the banging sounds continued.
She looked down sharply. The sound was coming from below this group of tentacles ahead!
"Damn it, Escape Pod Number 2 is right at the bottom now!" Jenny gritted her teeth. "I don't care what the hell is in front anymore!"
She took a deep breath and charged straight toward the 'sea python cluster' ahead.
Seeing this scene, the viewers in the live stream couldn't help but feel shocked!
At this moment, they were all somewhat impressed by Jenny's courage!!!
As Jenny drew closer, she finally saw clearly that these long strip-like objects were not sea pythons nor tentacles, but strands of emerald-green vines!
At the same time, Gaia's delivered the analysis results.
"Beep. Seaweed vines. They grow in shallow areas, prefer to cluster together like underwater forests. In pursuit of sunlight, they continuously grow upward."
"Assessment: The stems can be used for textiles and gauze, as raw material for medical kits. The fruits can produce oil."
"Damn, so these things are just plants! Scared the hell out of me!!"
Only then did Jenny shout out loud. Without bothering to look any longer at the seaweed vines, she swam straight down toward Escape Pod Number 2 below!
[Jenny, don't rush in!!!]
[Escape Pod Number 2 is being rammed by some monster. There might be large carnivorous fish down below!]
[Yeah, take it easy. Going there now is no different from delivering yourself as takeout!!!]
↳ [How about you deliver yourself in front of my home, naked and oiled up.]
The bullet comments said so, but it was as if Jenny hadn't heard them. She continued charging downward without hesitation!
She was determined to save the woman from Escape Pod Number 2!
The distance was getting shorter and shorter. The straight-line distance was now only a little over fifty meters.
"Beep. You have received a radio transmission." Gaia suddenly interjected.
"Play it!"
What Jenny heard next was an extremely shrill and despairing scream.
"The escape pod has been breached! Seawater... seawater is flooding in! Oh god, what kind of monster is this? Don't eat me, I don't want to die!"
The woman's voice came to an abrupt stop.
In that instant, every viewer in the live stream was stunned. The live stream even fell into a brief moment of silence.
When a woman's despairing scream right before death sounded right by your ears, no matter who you were, you would feel an immense shock and terror!
"Oh my god, that scream was so miserable..."
"Yeah, it sounds utterly hopeless."
"My scalp is completely numb right now."
"Damn!!!"
As the person experiencing it firsthand, Jenny screamed like a madwoman and swam downward frantically.
Thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters...
Finally, in a depressed area on the seabed below, Jenny saw another escape pod.
The exterior of this escape pod was severely deformed, with a large hole on top.
The surrounding seawater was dyed blood-red as it spread, as if blood was diffusing through the water.
Jenny's heart sank to the bottom. She was just about to go over to check.
But that escape pod suddenly shook on its own.
Jenny immediately became alert and stopped.
In the next moment, she saw a massive monster more than three meters long, with an appearance similar to a crocodile, crawling out from the large hole in the escape pod.
