Chapter 703 Rescue Determination

The Kulakov.

The entire cabin shook violently, causing everyone inside to sway from side to side and lose their balance.

"Mai, what's wrong?" Koda asked, gripping the table.

"N-I don't know! The radar didn't detect anything! It doesn't seem like an external attack; it looks like they want to sink the ship." Mai Midorikawa replied hastily, typing away on the keyboard, somewhat panicked.

"what?!"

"Something's wrong! The surfacing system is malfunctioning. It seems someone has hacked into the main computer," Mai Midorikawa said again.

"Has the computer been hacked?"

"Yes, I'm fighting for access with the intruders," Mai Midorikawa said without turning her head.

"Damn it!" Koda cursed under his breath and immediately ran to the instrument next to him, pulled up the footage from the external monitor, and tried to find traces of the enemy.

However, in the monitor footage, apart from the Kulakov sinking continuously and the churning seawater, nothing else could be seen; they could only watch helplessly as the Kulakov sank to the bottom of the sea.

Mai Midorikawa has firmly gained the upper hand in her battle for control against the intruders.

Mai Midorikawa was a computer genius, and it wouldn't be easy for the intruders who hacked into the Kulakov's main computer to take it away from her.

Therefore, after realizing how difficult Mai Midorikawa was to deal with, the intruders gave up their plan to continue hacking into the main computer and instead decided to send half-fish warriors to conquer the Kulakov once it sank to the bottom.

"Great, they've retreated." Mai Midorikawa wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said happily.

"Well done! Check the Kulakov for water ingress?"

"Hey!" Midorikawa Mai quickly checked the water ingress of the Kulakov and said, "Team Leader Koda, areas 8 and 11 are flooded."

"Immediately seal off the flooded area."

"Yes!" Midorikawa Mai quickly typed on the keyboard, lowered the safety door, and sealed off the flooded area.

"Mai, can you float?" Koda asked.

"It still doesn't work. We're going to sink to the bottom of the sea in 10 seconds." Mai Midorikawa tried again and shook her head.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the Kulakov shuddered again, then settled completely, clearly having sunk to the bottom of the sea.

"It's stopped. How bad is the damage?" Koda immediately walked over to Midorikawa Mai and asked.

“The entire M3 area is flooded, and all access to the lower levels has been cut off,” Midorikawa Mai replied.

"Damn it, is it just a matter of waiting for rescue?" Koda slammed his fist on the wall, his face grim.

"Team Member Koda, there's a huge shadow on the outer wall of Zone 4!" Mai Midorikawa exclaimed.

"Enlarge it!"

"Yes!" Midorikawa Mai quickly brought up the outside of the 4th area.

The surveillance footage of Zone 4 immediately appeared on the screen in front of them.

In the image, several tentacles are tightly wrapped around the Kulakov's fuselage.

"That's what caused the Kulakov to sink to the bottom of the sea, isn't it? Watch me take it down with the laser cannon." Looking at the tentacles wrapped around the machine, Koda immediately went to the main control panel, preparing to operate the laser cannon to destroy it.

However, before the laser cannon could be aimed, the screen suddenly went black.

"what happened?"

“The external surveillance cameras have been destroyed,” Mai Midorikawa said.

"Damn it, these guys came prepared," Koda cursed under his breath.

"Drip drip!"

At that moment, Koda's WIT suddenly went off.

"Team member Koda, we're here to rescue you." As soon as the WIT connection was established, Asuka's voice came through the phone.

"Asuka?!" Koda was both surprised and delighted to see Asuka appear on the WIT screen.

But Koda immediately realized what was going on and said worriedly, "The monster is perched on the Kulakov, so the Victory Abyssal Fleet won't be able to get through."

“It’s alright, I can put on the Ultra Armor and enter the Kulakov through the drainage outlet,” Asuka laughed.

"Alright! I'll leave it to you then." Koda nodded and said.

“I’m going.” Asuka stood up from her seat and said to Nakajima.

"Be careful."

"Understood!" Asuka donned the Dyna armor and entered the buffer bay of the Victory Deep Sea Machine.

Seawater slowly flooded into the buffer tank, submerging the bird's entire body.

Once the buffer tank was filled with seawater, its valve slowly opened, and the bird immediately emerged and slithered towards the nearby Kulakov.

Although it was underwater, the pressure of the seawater was completely blocked by the Ultra Armor, and Asuka did not feel any discomfort.

The thrusters on the back of Dyna's armor opened, spewing out pale blue flames that propelled the bird to the Kulakov's drainage outlet.

Following the drainage outlet, they entered the interior of the Kulakov. Asuka immediately went to the operations room and found Koda and Midorikawa Mai.

Fortunately, there were no extra staff members on the Kulakov, only Koda and Midorikawa Mai remained.

Otherwise, the difficulty of the rescue would likely increase significantly.

"Koda, Mai, are you alright?" Asuka took off her helmet, looked at the two in the operations room, and asked.

"Asuka!" Mai Midorikawa, upon seeing Asuka, could no longer control her emotions, wiping away tears, and said:

"Waaah~ I thought I was going to die here."

On her first frontline mission, she encountered such a dangerous situation, and she had to suppress her panic and fear the whole time.

Upon seeing the birds, she finally couldn't hold back her emotions any longer.

"Mai, what nonsense are you talking about?" Koda said, chuckling as he ruffled Mai Midorikawa's hair.

"Alright, let's leave quickly too." Asuka handed the two spark prisms she had brought to Koda and Midorikawa Mai.

"Wait a minute. Although we don't know why that guy dragged the Kulakov to the bottom of the sea, the Kulakov absolutely cannot fall into the hands of that monster." Koda went to the Kulakov's safety device and took out the key to activate the self-destruct program.

"I didn't expect you to have a trick up your sleeve. But I won't let you succeed." At that moment, a lovely female voice suddenly rang out in the Kulakov's communications system.

"You're that monster?!" Koda suddenly looked up at the ceiling.

"This planet has been attracting a lot of attention lately. Despite being an inferior species that keeps repeating the same mistakes and heading towards extinction, it seems to be preparing to venture into space."

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Koda asked.

"You're all in the way. As the most intelligent life form in the universe, I'm best suited to be the ruler of this planet," the lovely female voice continued.

"Although her voice is cute, she keeps saying arrogant and conceited things," Asuka said unhappily.

"Oh no! There are a lot of enemies on the Kulakov!" Mai Midorikawa exclaimed as she looked at the red dots appearing on her computer screen.

"It looks like we have no choice but to fight," Asuka said.

"Me too?" Midorikawa Mai pointed to herself, asking in confusion.

"Of course!"

"I can't do it," Mai Midorikawa said, waving her hands repeatedly.

"Mai, you're a member of the Super GUTS team, you have to believe in yourself!" Koda said, placing his hands on Midorikawa Mai's shoulders and staring into her eyes.

"But……"

"No buts! The Kulakov is connected to the artificial sun. If the artificial sun is taken away, the Earth is doomed," Koda said firmly.

"I...I will try my best," Mai Midorikawa said, gripping the Spark Prism tightly. (End of Chapter)
