Zing!

Uranos used more than 50% of the energy on the radar. The extensively broadened sonar searches over a 100km radius.

The picture on a 3D hologram video changes every hour. It checks the shape of mutants captured on radar in real time. The terrain was examined in another place. They moved at the lowest altitude they could, close to the sea floor. They went deeper and deeper.

Cha Jun Sung was curious about the imposing water pressure at 4500m into the sea, so he went outside even though there was no battle.

"My joints hurt. It'd be better for level B Lifers to stay on board."

It's water pressure that level B battlesuits can't withstand. They need to be level A at the least. The 30% restriction that gets them as soon as they go out. It'll be 50% for level A.

If they had been on land, they would be able to take on level 8s - even mutants on the level of Red Eye - but it's too much in an environment like this.

He might be able to do something if he gets the Rankers' help.

So the Rankers also went out to know how the water pressure feels, and they came back wrung out. They got caught in a 60% restriction.

There are 22 level A Lifers including Cha Jun Sung. Only 22 people can go into battle 4500m in the ocean.

"We'll have to bring them to 2000m at the least. If it gets deeper, I'll be the only one who can go out. I can't go alone. I'll fall into an intensive attack."

Odin is looking at level S battlesuit activity as limited at 7000m. He can move if they get deeper. It's just that he won't be able to fight.

Even at points when problems with activity came up, Uranos kept searching for where the Deep-Sea Teeth live.

Woong!

[We will arrive at location 203. 936. 52. 162 shortly. Switch to battle mode!]

Uranos lowered the radar and put 40% energy into the water barrier. The water barrier's thickness multiplied a few times.

Radar is activated but there are a lot of bizarre mutants. They can get through the radar's watch and bring a surprise attack. All of the portholes are open as well. They are ready to fight with power.

[Location approach complete. No detection of mutants like the Deep-Sea Teeth.]

There are weaknesses in the Albatrus' radar as well. It can search everywhere but if the features get complicated, it gets hard to distinguish between them.

It cannot go through objects. It can't see through objects.

"Looks like it won't be easy to find them."

"I don't care. We can make them come out on their own if we can't find them."

Is he talking about luring them? How will they do it? The Rankers ask Strategist. They are very curious about how he is thinking of doing it.

"Sea General, you said you found the Deep-Sea Teeth at sea level, right?"

"Yes. I ran into them when I was going up for light. And after blinking a few times, a pair of Deep-Sea Teeth were standing on either side of a baby."

He still got in a cold sweat thinking of it. Deep-Sea Teeth are atrocious. It is a wonder that they don't attack submarines.

"Baby. Baby."

Humans and mutants alike are weak to babies.

A period when curiosity is highest. A baby in this period is like a ticking time bomb. There's no way to know what will happen. Parents are busy taking care of it.

"The mutant's ecosystem is the law of the jungle. If the baby went all the way up to sea level, either the parents allowed it or it acted on its own."

They cannot overcome the situation if they allowed it, but what if it acted on its own? Strategist thought of an incredible idea while worrying it might be the latter.

"You all have plenty of stamina, right?"

"Why?"

Strategist smiles in response to Nuclear's question.

***

It is covered in mutants, but the ocean is beautiful. The sunlight reflecting off the blue waves is magnificent! This magnificence is painted with red.

Countless mutants swarm in near the red water. Fish as big as a human arms scatter the red water; large fish swallow those fish; and larger fish swallow those fish.

The mutants eat and get eaten, but they go crazy for the red water anyway. The hair-raisingly pure and delicate smell makes them all crazy.

The powerful smell of blood that they have never smelled before makes two different creatures come in unlike the mutants going crazy at the scene.

Those comparatively close and those far away.

***

The female Deep-Sea Teeth had been resting comfortably deep inside the underwater cave when a fin that ran from her face to tail stiffened. A smell more seductive than when she had met the male, is paralyzing her senses. It's so tempting that it makes her forget what is going on around her.

The female shakes her head. She barely overcame the urge, but she can't stop her mouth from watering. Food that gives off this kind of smell!

The female looks outside the cave. She is deep inside but the cave is open in a straight line, so she can see what is outside for the most part.

She jumps in surprise. She opens her eyes wide, and moves her nearly 200m body out of the cave. She moves at a very fast speed.

Her level 8 roar draws a concentric circle as it goes through the ocean. Her call of 'hurry up and come,' 'something's happened' is for the male.

While calling for the male, the female keeps circling near the cave. The baby had just been playing nearby, but had disappeared.

This is the first time she has ever lost the baby. She's never been able to lose the child because her focus is always on it.

Bang

Her caudal fin hits the peak of a nearby underwater mountain.

A crater forms in the middle and rocks weighing in the tons roll down.

The male is here. He has a starfish that is nearly 40m in size in his mouth. It is switching between five colors, and it is a level 7 Five Color Fish.

There is a small wound on the male's body. He got it while catching the Five Color Fish. rather than blame each other, they started to search the entire area for the baby. Then the female turned her head up.

The smell of blood that tempted her as an adult! If it had made her so disoriented as to make her lose her child, how would it have been to the child?

The male threw the Five Color Fish to the side and soared up. He also smelled what the female did.

The female goes after him. There aren't many enemies that would harm their child but it's not like there are none, so one of them needs to stay with it.

If the child had been seduced by the smell of blood, there will be a lot of enemies nearby. They are in a rush. They can't leave the child alone or put their guard down until it is about half their size.

***

"Is that it?"

"That is without a doubt the baby Deep-Sea Teeth. To think that this worked!"

Sea General couldn't help but laugh at Strategist's absurd trap. There was nothing difficult about it. Strategist took blood from Lifers for the past few days. Normally, people would rest for a few months after one transfusion.

However, the Lifers who came into the mission have all completed beyond stage 5 of body modifications, and are superhumans who have succeeded human ability.

They recover several hours after giving blood. After taking blood like that, they had a little over 1000L. They left Cha Jun Sung out of this. They don't know what problems could arise.

They poured that 1000L of blood into a 300m area that is optimal for battle. They left the Albatrus anchored nearby.

They left only the functions inside on and turned off anything that showed on the outside, so it just looked like a giant rock or mountain to mutants.

The fish started biting after they poured out 200L. Mutants came in, crazed by the smell of blood.

Lifers know how mutants react to human blood, so they often use this method.

But they hadn't expected it to work on a level 8 baby. Whatever the level or species, a baby is a baby. The funny thing is that Lifers' blood works on mutants.

They have also been infected with A virus, but human blood strangely has the same effect on mutants. Of course Lifers with the exception of Cha Jun Sung's group don't know that the transplanted cells they received while going through body modifications had A virus in them.

There are just those who think that this might be the case. Regardless, they did not pour out all of the blood at one time.

The mutants killed each other and mixed with the contaminated blood. So the Lifers moved around to pour out the blood so it wouldn't get mixed up.

They would return to the Albatrus once they were done. After repeating this a few times, the baby Deep-Sea Teeth appeared.
