In a zero-sum game, whether on the wasteland or on Earth, those who were cowardly always starved to death, while those with courage ended up so full they could die.

Had Su Mo just arrived on the wasteland, he would not have dared to make such a reckless choice in receiving a blessing from a real deity, even if he had been given access to the control panel interface.

For the survivors living in the wasteland, they had survived a total of 63 days.

However, for Su Mo, it had been 153 days since he left Earth!

In the group ruins, Su Mo and those madmen from the Academy of Sciences had been so busy every day that time had almost lost its meaning.

However, Su Mo had partic.i.p.ated wholeheartedly in the final battle that had mobilized millions of creatures. He had served as commander throughout the entire battle and received the corresponding rewards.

The t.i.tle promotion mission was set up by the G.o.d of the Ocean.

As long as one could survive this mission, they would basically achieve a certain level of growth.

There was no doubt that Su Mo had grown!

His ambition

Like a plant seed sown in the winter, it only needed a suitable moment when spring arrived to emerge from the ground and transform into a giant tree.

G.o.d of the Ocean, old man, you had better give me something good! It would be best if Hope One gained a sailing skill, or even a life-saving skill!

The current combat strength of Hope One was already sufficient. In fact, in order to deal with the other creatures in these seas, it was already rather excessive. Any further enhancement in this aspect would not yield an immediate effect.

On the other hand, the s.h.i.+ps active skills only consisted of Charge, which was basically a useless skill at this point.

The need for better skills was quite apparent. Watching as the second reward was issued, Su Mo prayed silently in his heart and opened his eyes wide to gaze at the ocean outside the porthole.

Every half hour, as the sea alternated between tsunami waves and periods of respite, the weather in the sky would follow suit.

At this moment, the current tsunami phase had not yet ended, so the entire sky outside looked gloomy, exuding a scary tinge of yellow, which was the color of doomsday.

The seawater outside the porthole was still fluctuating, like the wavy shapes of dried instant noodles, carrying Hope One up and down.

As seconds pa.s.sed, the rolling sea seemed to get even closer to Su Mo, but he did not know if it was just his eyes playing tricks on him.

By the tenth second, the surface of the sea had risen by three to five meters. Su Mo was now sure that it was not his illusion, but that

Hope One was sinking!

c.r.a.p, what is this thing? Did it attach a gravity ability to Hope One? Did the s.h.i.+ps weight increase?

Due to Hope Ones abnormal situation, the OS inside the bridge initiated a s.h.i.+p-wide alarm. The four little ones, who were hiding inside the bridge, scurried out in a hurry.

Compared to Su Mo, who was in the captains quarters on the third floor, the four little ones were standing on the main deck. This was why they could feel Hope Ones current state more acutely.

When Hope One was traveling on the surface of the sea, the draft of the s.h.i.+p above the surface of the sea was about 17 meters. Even after they reached the deep sea zone, the s.h.i.+ps draft remained at about 15 meters above the surface of the sea.

At this moment, listening to the warning notification issued by the OS, stating that Hope Ones draft was only eight meters above the surface of the sea, Su Mo suddenly stood up, his fingers on the headset, prepared for an emergency.

By the thirtieth second, Hope Ones bow was only five meters above the surface of the sea.

By the forty-fifth second, the distance between Hope Ones bow and the surface of the sea had narrowed down to

Two meters!

Even as he stood on the third floor, he could see a shocking image in his field of vision!

The sky was gloomy, and the sea continued to rumble. Su Mo felt like it was all happening right in front of his eyes. The waves that previously could not hit the deck and the captains quarters at all would surge onto the s.h.i.+p at just the slightest push, hitting the gla.s.s of the porthole.

According to the current rate at which the s.h.i.+p was sinking, Hope Ones main deck would be directly submerged underwater after a mere fifteen seconds, and only the superstructure would remain above sea level.

After another thirty seconds, even the captains quarters would be submerged, and the whole s.h.i.+p would be completely submerged, becoming a submarine.

On the deck, Moore was running around in panic, and Big Spark and Little Spark also flapped their wings and flew around everywhere. Only Oreo did not move, as she slowly nodded her head.

Su Mo repressed his uneasy emotions, and quickly pressed on the headset and yelled, Stay steady! Im controlling Hope One, dont panic!

Moore, quickly take Oreo and the two others back to the bridge and close the watertight door!

If it was necessary for Hope One to sink into the sea and be baptized just so that he could obtain this skill, then so be it.

As long as the duration in which the s.h.i.+p was fully submerged did not exceed one minute, the damage to Hope One would completely be within a tolerable range.

While this was on his mind, Su Mo looked out toward the surface of the sea, which was one more meter below him now, and he dashed out of the captains quarters and rushed down the stairs.

With his t.i.tle of Rank 5 Ocean Admiral, the sea felt like home to Su Mo, despite the raging tsunami surrounding him.

The moment Hope One was about to sink into the depths of the sea, Su Mo decided to

Live and die with Hope One!

Come on! Lets take a bath together!

With a shout, he picked up the flag that was hidden under the main deck and looked at the bow of the s.h.i.+p, which was almost level with the surface of the sea.

Su Mo held up the flag with one hand, his gaze was sharp, as if lightning was raging in his eyes.

At this moment, the flag with the word Su Mo on the front and Hope on the back also seemed to feel the call of Su Mos heart and, in an instant, a golden light burst forth!

Thud!

Thud!

Every time the s.h.i.+ps bow hit the surface of the sea heavily, water would splash around.

This time, as Su Mo watched the bow of the s.h.i.+p sink into the sea, Su Mo simply closed his eyes and waited for the sea water to a.s.sault his body.

His eyes remained closed for three to five seconds.

By the time Su Mo reacted and opened his eyes, he realized that Hope One, whose main deck had already been submerged into the sea, was not flooded by seawater.

A s.h.i.+eld that exuded a faint golden light slowly flowed out from the flag bearing the word Hope, which was wrapped around the entire s.h.i.+p!

The next second, there was a thud!

Before Su Mo could react, the entire s.h.i.+p sank and was plunged directly into the sea!

F*ck, f*ck! Hope One is flooded!

Waves rumbled on the surface. Although there were currents surging under the surface of the sea, the situation underwater was like a completely different world when compared to the surface.

A school of treasure fish swam past in a hurry. They pa.s.sed by Hope One that had sunk underwater curiously and looked at Su Mo, who was standing at the bow of the s.h.i.+p, in confusion.

A group of pseudo-fish creatures that Su Mo could not name were together with the treasure fish. Across the gap, they exhibited goodwill to the Ocean Admiral.

A few curious jellyfish creatures were lying on the golden film of light formed by the s.h.i.+ps flag. They wriggled about comfortably.

Not only did they not show any fear of this giant beast that had appeared underwater, but they latched on to it affectionately and accompanied Hope One as it advanced slowly.

???

Su Mo looked at the flag that he was holding and then at the creatures following Hope One. He then looked up and at the surface of the sea. He then stood on the bow for a few seconds and looked down.

Su Mos eyes told him that Hope One had transformed into an open top submarine which sailed underwater with great style. Even the fish seemed to be cheering for him.

However, his brain also told him, d.a.m.n, brother, run! The boat is underwater! Your s.h.i.+ps gonna be destroyed at any time!

Su Mo froze as those contradicting thoughts coursed through his mind.

At this moment, Moore opened the watertight door of the bridge excitedly!

Buzz! Boom!

Woah, woah! Master, I didnt know that Hope One could swim too! d.a.m.n, this bear was really scared!

If I had known that Hope One was so powerful, I wouldnt be worried about anything at all! I should have gone swimming in the sea yesterday!

Oh, these fish actually want to play around in Hope One? Come on in! I promise not to eat you!

For Su Mo, who had received scientific education for nine years, the impact of this scene on his mind was unparalleled.

This was a scene that could only be seen in movies, games, or dreams.

For Moore, though What was the wonderful Hope One not capable of?

[Congratulations to the player Su Mo, your vehicle Hope One has successfully received the blessing of the G.o.d of the Ocean and gained a new active ability.]

[View the current attributes of Hope One?]

In the end, it was the games notification beep that pulled Su Mo out of his dazed state.

Manipulating his slightly numbed consciousness, he focused his mind on the Yes option that popped up on the game panel.

The next second, Hope Ones properties panel, which he had not seen in ages, popped out in full.

[Affix: Flying Hope One (sub-legendary-quality)]

[Description: Rumor has it that every s.h.i.+p that has received the blessing of the G.o.ds possesses peculiar abilities, which might not become your ultimate trump card to dominate the ocean, but will no doubt make your s.h.i.+p a legend.

This is a powerful s.h.i.+p that has received the G.o.d of the Oceans blessing. It is a s.h.i.+p that sometimes soars at the bottom of the sea, dances with the fish and shrimp, and plays with sea creatures. It sometimes looks for food on the surface of the sea and destroys all its enemies that overestimate themselves.

If you see it sailing on the surface of the sea or underwater, it means that its captain is in a good mood. You can try to send a friendly invitation to the captain for lunch, but if you see it slowly rising from the depths of the sea, then hurry up and run, or you will bear all the rage of the flying Hope One!]
