360 million.
In the office of Longji Group, Lin Chen looked at the bank account balance on his computer screen.
He tapped his fingertips on the table.
This money can be used for the subsequent upgrades of "Deep Diver 1" and the expansion of the "Gene Breeding Lab".
Lin Chen prepared to close the page.
The computer made a sound.
The screen turned red, a skull icon flashed in the center, and a warning message appeared next to it.
[High Risk Warning: S-level hostile target detected and locked! Threat Level: Lethal!]
Lin Chen's pupils contracted.
He leaned back, interlaced his fingers, and looked at the screen.
A system interface pops up, displaying an ocean map.
On the map, the green dot of "Deep Diver 1" is stopped at Huangni Village Wharf.
About 120 nautical miles from the coastline, on the high seas boundary, a black icon crosses the dotted line and moves toward Huangni Village.
The black icon features a spiral-shaped fish emblem.
The Eye of the Deep Sea.
Lin Chen's expression changed.
He thought of Lin Dafa's death, the nautical logbook, and the bronze fish-shaped beacon.
[Daily Intelligence Update]
[Intelligence 1: Black Shark, the Asia-Pacific head of 'Eye of the Deep Sea,' has crossed the high seas aboard a 'Orca'-class mini-armed submarine. Target: Host Lin Chen.]
[Intelligence 2: The enemy's core mission is to capture the host alive, interrogate him, and seize the core technology (i.e., the deep-sea gene optimization and cultivation laboratory) that enables the mass production of "ultra-high activity" seafood.]
[Intelligence 3: 'Black Shark' is ruthless and cruel, willing to do anything to achieve its goals. It has been authorized to eliminate all but its host.]
[Intelligence 4: This submarine is equipped with small torpedo tubes, a high-voltage electric grid, and strong electromagnetic interference equipment, giving it underwater combat capabilities.]
"Core technologies..."
Lin Chen tapped his knuckles on the table, making a sound.
The golden kingfish and the tuna attracted the other party's attention.
They want to steal his technology.
There was a knock on the office door.
Sun Heizi pushed the door open and said, "Boss, something's not right."
He walked to his desk and lowered his voice: "These past two days, there have been a lot of unfamiliar faces around the dock, unlike the people here. They're blond and blue-eyed, always hanging around our refrigerated trucks and the Pioneer."
"I sent my brothers to question them, but they ignored me. When pressed, they pulled out their passports and started speaking in a foreign language. If I wasn't worried about causing trouble for you, boss, I would have really taken action."
Sun Heizi clenched his fists.
Lin Chen raised his eyes and looked at him.
"What's the panic?"
His voice was very flat.
Sun Heizi was stunned.
The boss's reaction was calm.
"Boss, these people are from unknown backgrounds, I'm afraid..."
"Are you worried they're here to cause trouble?"
Lin Chen continued, "No, they want to kidnap all our cooks."
Sun Heizi didn't understand, but seeing Lin Chen's expression, he stopped talking.
The boss is taking this seriously.
"Boss, what do you suggest we do? Should I call some men to deal with those scouts first...?"
Sun Heizi made a gesture.
"Need not."
Lin Chen waved his hand, stood up, walked to the window, and looked out at the distant ocean.
"They've come in a submarine, we have to show our appreciation."
"Since they want to have fun, let's go out to sea and prepare a 'gift package' for them."
submarine??
Sun Heizi was stunned.
He opened his mouth, but when he saw Lin Chen had already turned around, his eyes showed excitement.
"Hei Zi, go and call Zhou Dazhuang and the ten best fighters in the guard team. Tell them to take the supplies and not to make a sound."
Tell them we're going night fishing tonight.
"Catch a big fish!"
……
Late at night, at the Huangni Village Wharf.
The sea breeze is cold.
Most of the fishermen had already rested, but a few lights were still on at Longji Fresh's berth.
Lin Chen, dressed in a black diving combat suit, walked up the gangway of "Deep Diver One".
Zhou Dazhuang and Sun Heizi, accompanied by ten guards, looked serious, carrying boxes filled with weapons.
Zhou Dazhuang reported in a low voice, "Boss, everything is ready." His eyes showed both seriousness and a hint of excitement.
Lin Chen nodded and stepped into the cockpit.
Before launching the submersible, he took out an encrypted satellite phone, edited a message containing latitude and longitude coordinates, and sent it to Huo Lao's chief steward in Beijing.
After doing all this, he turned off his phone and put it in a waterproof box.
"Dive."
The Deepdiver One glided into the sea and disappeared beneath the surface.
Meanwhile, eighty nautical miles off the coast of Huangni Village, a black submarine was hovering underwater.
Inside the submarine's command center, a white man with a scar on his face was staring at the sonar screen.
He is Black Shark, the Asia-Pacific head of "Eye of the Deep Sea".
A blonde female operator reported: "The target has been activated. The signal source has been confirmed as 'Deep Diver One,' and it is approaching us at a speed of fifteen knots. It is expected to enter the ambush zone in forty minutes."
"Foolish Chinese people."
He ordered: "Pass the word down to activate electromagnetic interference and cut off all his external communications. Once he enters the C3 area, use the high-voltage power grid to force him to stop."
"Remember, I want to live."
"As for that submarine and the people inside, clean it up thoroughly and leave no trace."
"Yes, sir!"
The Orca-class submarine adjusted its attitude and moved toward the predetermined area.
Above them, several unmarked speedboats sat silently in the night with their engines off.
On the distant horizon, several red dots are rapidly piercing the night sky.
