Chapter 284 - Stealing the Fragment (1/2)

Jiang Fei came out of the cabin and sneakily walked toward the back of the ship. At that moment, Han Tianyu and the helmsman were focused on the battle happening in the middle of the islet. With Jiang Fei invisible, no one noticed what was going on at all.

Afraid that he might create ripples in the sea water, Jiang Fei did not dare to jump directly into the sea. Instead, he crept down the side of the ship and slowly sneaked into the waters. Although he did end up creating some ripples which made Han Tianyu turn to look, the ripples were quite small. So, Han Tianyu just ignored it, thinking that fishes were the cause.

Everything went very smoothly. However, when Jiang Fei got into the water, he suddenly realized that he had been negligent!

Moreover, it was about something quite serious! The mighty Jiang Fei forgot that he did not know how to swim!

Also, the mighty Jiang Fei had an advantage in terms of speed. On land, he could naturally run very quickly. At sea, he was sinking really quickly!

“F*ck!” Jiang Fei opened his mouth and he ended up swallowing two mouthfuls of salty seawater!

Damn it! It’d be really stupid if I actually drowned here! Jiang Fei struggled desperately. He paddled hard with both of his hands as he tried to get back up to the sea surface. As he was panicking, he did not realize yet another point that was making him at a disadvantage — his head was facing downward. So, the more he paddled, the deeper he got into the sea!

“Captain! Don’t panic! Don’t panic! I’ve made an underwater breathing apparatus. Just put it on and you’ll be fine!” 0541’s voice calmed Jiang Fei down. He quickly connected to the Spatial Ring and took the breathing apparatus that 0541 had prepared for him. Without wasting any more time, he immediately covered his nose and mouth with it.

“F*cking hell! You scared me to death!” Jiang Fei was relieved as he took a few deep breaths, inhaling the air provided by the breathing equipment.

“Captain, YOU scared me to death!” 0541 complained. It was not easy to find a captain. If Jiang Fei died just like that, 0541 did not have enough energy to look for a new captain!

“F*ck you! Why didn’t you tell me you had breathing equipment?!” Jiang Fei spouted angrily.

“I didn’t think that you would sink as soon as you got into the water…” 0541 was also helpless. Even if you did not know how to swim, you would be still able to paddle a little after getting into the water. This applied to any animal including human beings. Someone like Jiang Fei who sunk so deep as soon as he touched the waters was a rare species!

However, it was also fortunate that Jiang Fei sank as soon as he did. Otherwise, he would have been discovered. Now that Jiang Fei was deep in the sea, the flow of the water he created when he moved around would not reach the sea surface. So, he did not have to worry about being discovered by anyone.

As he no longer had to worry about breathing underwater, he quickly got used to it and learned to move around more gracefully. He may not pass with flying colors in terms of swimming, but his speed was acceptable.

Under 0541’s guidance, Jiang Fei swam all the way toward the Research and Development Laboratory.

“Captain, slow down, swim a little slower. There are guards in front!” Jiang Fei heard 0541’s voice.

“Mmm!” Jiang Fei responded, then slipped into the middle of a school of fish and approached his target bit by bit.

The invisibility effect provided by 0541 was perfect and very little light could reach the deep sea. Thus, even though they were behind the islet, the guards who were in wetsuits and carrying oxygen tanks did not notice Jiang Fei at all.

The security here was actually pretty weak. They only sent a few guards because the R&D Lab was too big. One could only transport it away with the use of a large towboat. It could not be dragged away by a normal submarine. So, these guards just had to look after the fragment and make sure that no big submarine got close to it.

They did not have to worry about Mutants like Jenny that could Teleport. Only a Mutant that was Level 5 or above would be able to teleport a fragment that was more than 300 meters long and more than 100 meters wide far away. If such a powerful person wanted this fragment, there was no way they would be able to guard it. If they managed to offend such a person, not only would they lose the fragment but they would also be in big trouble.
