NOVPUBIf Wu Bin hadn’t undergone deep dive training, he might have believed the staff when they said that phrase to him.
But Wu Bin had undergone deep dive training, although he was not quite professional yet, the phrase he heard most from his coach was that deep sea diving was a terrifying thing.
With the state Wu Bin was in now, there was a high probability he would not return from a deep dive.
Nightingale also noticed that Wu Bin’s expression was off, and she told the staff, "Okay, stop fooling him, he has undergone this training."
Upon hearing Nightingale say that, the staff’s attitude changed immediately.
He helped Wu Bin properly wear his equipment and then said, "Wu Bin, if you encounter danger... good luck then."
Wu Bin: ...
Man, this isn’t the time to leave your sentence hanging!
Do you know how anxious that makes me?
After ensuring Wu Bin’s equipment was properly worn, the two staff members didn’t waste words, patted his shoulder, and turned to leave.
Nightingale handed a helmet to Wu Bin and casually asked a question.
"Why did you suddenly decide to undergo deep dive training before, do you know something?"
Wu Bin took the helmet and quickly shook his head.
"No, I don’t know anything! I know nothing!"
"I just suddenly wanted to learn to swim, so I mentioned it to He Bingbing, who said she happened to have a friend who was a swimming instructor, and I thought it was a coincidence, so I went to learn with them for a day. I didn’t know it was deep diving."
"After I finished, I regretted it, really, my whole body hurt, and it made me go for a massage afterward."
Seeing Wu Bin full of excuses, Nightingale frowned.
"If you don’t want to talk, that’s fine, but once we’re underwater you need to follow orders, don’t wander off. If you’re lucky, nothing will happen today and you’ll be able to come back up."
After speaking, Nightingale made a gesture, signaling Wu Bin to put on his helmet.
Following Nightingale’s instructions, Wu Bin fastened the helmet onto his head.
Just now he thought the helmet was too heavy, and wearing it might make his neck uncomfortable.
But Wu Bin soon realized he was mistaken.
When he fastened the helmet onto his head, the helmet automatically connected with the interface on his collar.
The feeling was quite magical, similar to snapping buttons, where you press one upwards and all the buttons automatically snap together.
Since the helmet and suit were now completely sealed, with a hissing sound of exhaust from the helmet, all the excess air inside the suit was expelled, and the suit snugly fit against Wu Bin’s body, displaying his physique.
Wu Bin’s physique was actually quite good — muscular and well-defined.
But the awkward part was that, due to the intense sculpting of the training, the size of little Wu Bin was somewhat shockingly large.
A bit embarrassed, Wu Bin said, "Did you not consider this when you originally designed this suit?"
Before Nightingale could respond, a mischievous woman’s voice came from behind Wu Bin.
"Who said we hadn’t considered it? What truly makes you embarrassed isn’t the shape, but the pattern and color."
"As long as we can change the pattern and color, we can alter the visual presentation and thereby avoid this kind of embarrassment."
"Just like this now."
When Wu Bin turned around, he saw a woman wearing a white lab coat speaking.
This made Wu Bin feel very astonished.
Because the woman in the lab coat had a great figure, tall and slim, yet her voice was that of a little girl, which caused a strong sense of contrasts.
The woman pressed a few times on the tablet in her hand, and then the pattern and color of the clothes Wu Bin was wearing changed.
Although it was still a tight suit, the embarrassing outline had vanished by then.
Indeed, just as the woman had said, the embarrassment was merely a visual effect, not the shape or outline.
Seeing the surprised look on Wu Bin’s face, the woman smiled and said, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Han Chun, a scientific envoy of the Southern Dragon Battle Area, and like you, a member of the ninth institute."
"The professional diving suit you’re wearing now was developed by me, its name is Deep Blue. It’s worth mentioning that some of the technology in the Deep Blue suit is because of your development, which is why I made a special trip to meet you."
Han Chun extended her hand to Wu Bin with all seriousness and shook hands with him.
"Wu Bin, I am very grateful for your contributions to the scientific research of Dragon Country; you have saved many soldiers’ lives."
These words made Wu Bin dumbfounded.
When had he contributed to the scientific research of Dragon Country?
But soon Wu Bin caught on.
All the data and materials from his previous illness had been uploaded to the ninth institute by Li Guotai.
Not to mention that sometimes Li Guotai even extracted some cellular fluid from his body.
Wu Bin had always thought that Li Guotai wanted these data just for medical research, but now it seemed that his contributions went far beyond that.
Feeling somewhat awkward, Wu Bin said, "I… I haven’t really made any contribution, just provided some data at most. You’re exaggerating."
Han Chun slightly smiled.
"It’s that data you provided that are most precious to us. Thanks to your data, we can understand the reactions and changes in the human body under various conditions and harsh environments."
"One could say your data serve as a standard for how ordinary people approach their limits. So when we research and develop gear and weapons, just by referencing your data, we can avoid many detours."
The more Wu Bin listened, the stranger he felt.
It seemed they had been studying him as a lab rat, and moreover, without offering extra pay for this.
Unfortunately, this lab rat was about to embark on a deep-sea dive and had no way of knowing whether he would return safely or not.
As if she could see what Wu Bin was thinking at that moment, Han Chun continued, "Wu Bin, please rest assured, even though the ocean environment is very complex, I believe that the Deep Blue suit will provide you protection. I’ll be waiting here at the base for your safe return."
As soon as Han Chun finished speaking, a red light flickered nearby.
Nightingale gestured to Wu Bin, and then her voice came through the headset.
"Let’s go, time to board."
Wu Bin and Han Chun gestured goodbye to each other and then obediently followed Nightingale, boarding a submarine.
As the submarine hatch closed, the surrounding submarines began to submerge one after another, preparing to take Wu Bin and the others to the designated depth.
