Chapter 322: Finding one of the eggs.
Jun Meilin understood the meaning of ask and receive so clearly when she found herself underwater, teleported there in an instant after using up all of the points she had earned so far.
But, at least the system had given her time to drive home and change into a a diving suit that was pressure-resistant and buy an oxygen supply tank from the system mall that was small but provided ten times more oxygen than the normal ones on earth.
After preparing, she was transported from her bedroom to Kunming lake, bumping into a school of fish as she steadied herself.
The surface of the lake was roaming with boats that carried armed Imperial agents. Hidden inside the lake was a small submarine which passed through every hour, searching for anything suspicious.
Mei Mei was teleported into the lake just as it finished a sweep of the area. She had enough time to swim to the part of the lake where it met an abyss near a mountain--Kunming mountain.
She had eaten two sugar cubes for energy and this allowed her to navigate the waters like a fish. She passed through narrow rocks corridors and finally found the entrance--a hole covered with a perfectly round stone which seemed to have been cut artificially. It was veiled behind a curtain of swaying kelp and weeds that shimmered like emerald fireflies.
Mei Mei took a block of C4 from the system space and blew up the rock. The sound startled some fish nearby and there was a ripple on the surface of the lake.
She did not wait to see or feel the effect and made her way into the cave. Inside, a narrow passage led to a chamber unlike anything she had ever seen. The walls of the cave were not stone, they were metallic. It gave her the same feeling that the stone that was covering the cave had given her. Someone or something had created this cave for the purpose of hiding something and that something was probably the egg.
Mei Mei turned on a torch and continued into the chamber. To her her surprise, she saw symbols on the metal walls and the floor.
"C4, scan...or take pictures." She said.
