Ocean Master

Chapter 200 - Escape [2].



Adjacent to the fleet anatomical laboratory was the B-8 sleeping quarters.

This cave where the Crimson Fleet took as their temporary base was huge, extremely huge which was why they took it in the first place. This enabled them to have more freedom to modify and personalize it.

Unlike the anatomical laboratory where the environment was clean and hygienic and in an always sparkling white background, this sleeping quarters was in a grey background.

The fleet constructors didn\'t spend as much effort in reconstruction here. All they did was to modify this part of the cave, coating the rock walls with grey metal, while forming tent-like rooms for the fleet crew.

The tent-like rooms were made in such a way that made them seem like tents that were used when camping. 

This was the military way; this was the Crimson Fleet way.

Apart from the tent-like rooms that filled the ground, the walls and even the top of the cave were modified in such a way to accommodate even more tent rooms. This was because of the number of people who needed them.

This set-up was compact and flexible.

In the case of an emergency, 4 mini-towers were erected around the sleeping quarters where soldiers could easily man to mount a fearsome defensive force and a tyrannical offense.

At this moment, the sleeping quarters was dark and silent. Everyone was asleep, and all the tent rooms were covered. 

Every crew of the fleet in this sleeping quarters, both civilian workers and soldiers were asleep as they recovered from the stress of the day.

Since Sergeant Barnes changed the fleet\'s mission priority, every single person in the fleet felt it as their workload multiplied by almost 3 times.

They worked as hard as ants, trying to get information and to make sure that everything was in place for the arrival of the Division Fleet. Only the night like this was their time of rest which they dared not joke with. 

Even the 4 guards that manned the 4 different mini-towers were already asleep, the stress was simply too much for them to handle.

All their hopes now in the case of an emergency were the electronic set-ups.

Beep!

At this moment, the motion sensors that were installed every few meters of the sleeping quarters detected a signal as the system picked it up immediately. 

A light warning beep sound reverberated in the 4 mini-towers which were manned by guards. At the same time that this sounded, lights shone, concentrating in a single direction and driving the darkness away.

As soon as the light shone in that direction, the intruders were exposed. The system rapidly scanned them in less than a fraction of a second.

WOM! WOM!

"Intruders!" "Intruders!"

Sebastian and his crew were surprised and caught off-guard.

After leaving the laboratory, they arrived at an extremely long corridor that had doors leading to many places. Most of those doors couldn\'t contain their size, as soon as they saw a door that was big enough, they entered.

It was not even 3 seconds after they entered that the light shone on them, then before they could react, the loud alarm already went off.

"What the shit!" "In-intruders?"

Everything happened so fast that even the old toad was unable to react on time, but Sebastian did. This was a matter that had his life on the line, he was diligently maintaining 120% focus since the escape started.

At the same time that the guards manning the 4 towers reacted, shouting exclamatively, Sebastian\'s eyes swept across as his other sense did too.

[You have activated skill: Advanced Electroreceptors.]

Under his manipulation, the electromagnetic waves furiously spread like a sweeping tsunami, going round the sleeping quarters in an instant.

Sebastian\'s brain first registered the exit door out of this sleeping quarters that he saw, but he ignored it, focusing to look on for something else. This thing was pivotal in his escape plan.

In his rapid search, he saw the 4 towers and the guards manning them, he saw all the tent rooms, he saw the underground armory that held numerous weapons, he saw a lot of other things before he finally saw a strategy hall.

This tent room was much bigger than the others. Not only that, the fact that it was the only room in this quarters which flaunted a flag revealed a lot.

For the first time, Sebastian finally laid his eyes on the Atlantian flag.

This flag had black as the dominant background. In this black background was drawn the image of a rapidly expanding chaotic black hole, and in the middle of this black hole disaster stood a sharp-pointed sword. 

At the tip of the sword was written a giant A.

Sebastian\'s eyes focused on the flag for only a moment before resting on the strategy room. From Sebastian\'s knowledge, in medieval settings, during war periods, strategy rooms had a lot of things.

But he was not referencing that, he had a better reference which was in the form of the 5 blabbering idiots that guarded him for the past month. From them, he knew that each strategy room had the drawn map of this base. 

This was what he was after. With the map of this military base in hand, his plans could be finetuned to be more precise, and he would also know the exit.

"That is our target".

[You have activated skill: Advanced Dash.]

Sebastian didn\'t finish speaking before his companions dashed after him. Without reservations, they all activated their movement skills to swim as fast as possible and get this done with.

With their movements, the people that were not woken up by the warning alarm finally woke up. They were horrified to see these 5 predators.

"Shoot and pin them down!"

Most of the people were horrified but this was still a military base, not a soap opera theater, the soldiers responded like bulls on steroids after receiving the order from the preceding team leader.

They slept with their weapons as their companions, so they didn\'t have to engage in anything complicated before they could aim and shoot.

Bam! Bam!

Kinetic rounds, electrical rounds, laser rounds, and even magic beam rounds were released from the soldiers\' weapons as all these arrays of attacks flew at the 5 predators but they were unfazed.

Each one of them activated their magic shields as transparent shields flickered to life around them, easily protecting them from the attack barrage.

To the Atlantian soldiers, each of these 5 predators was like giant shooting targets that were waiting to be molested. They did release their rounds with the intention to molest, but the predators easily shrugged them off.

The predators were not all defense and no attack, after suffering this barrage, an already irritated Tonado released his deadly tongue adaptation.

Boom!

The tongue lashed out like the whip of the goddess of death herself, reaping lives like rice in harvest season as all the soldiers that bravely obstructed their path were smashed to oblivion.

Immediately after this, one of the sharks breathed wildly raging fire as other soldiers were set ablaze. Another\'s willpower tensed the atmosphere as metals were condensed from the air and the surrounding before shooting at soldiers.

Not willing to let the sharks steal the show, the Python threw himself up before throwing up a black domain that engulfed the motion detector lights.

The sleeping quarters was plunged into darkness again, this time it was accompanied by a strong sense of confusion and dizziness.

[You have come under the effect of a skill: The Drunken Shadow!]

Sebastian felt dizzy at first but under the expert manipulation of the Python, he and the others felt better while the Atlantians experienced its effects in full.

This barrage of attacks from the predators succeeded in destabilizing the defense formation of the Atlantians, allowing them to rush through.

In a few seconds, they arrived at the strategy room but they arrived to meet an even stronger defensive force.

The most important room was always the most protected.

Escaping was not going to be easy.
