Norman vividly recalled the moment he completed the task of assigning a name to the submarine.

The system provided various pieces of information, highlighting the significance of the submarine's sonar detection system.

This technology had the capability to scan for potential high-value points in the vicinity, which were crucial for gathering valuable materials.

These points could potentially contain not only common minerals and plant resources but also remnants of lost ocean vessels, with a potential for hidden treasures waiting to be unearthed.

This just opens Norman's mind to what he can do, and now he can safely explore without worrying about dangers!

Not only will his speed of collecting resources be faster, but he could also be countless times ahead of others in hoarding resources.

At the same time, the probability of him encountering danger will be greatly reduced!

Comparing this with what others will suffer for exploring, the difference is obvious.

At that moment, Norman took a deep breath and tried suppressing his trembling body's excitement.

In order to verify his guess, he hurriedly returned to the cockpit of the submarine and found the submarine's sonar detection system on the right side of the center console.

This is a set of precision instruments independent of the central console, occupying only a small area in the cockpit.

He gently clicked to open, and the information appeared.

[Sonar detection system (primary), the current maximum detection range: 500 meters]

(Info Drop: In the boundless, dark, deep abyss, the sonar system is the eyes and ears of the submarine. It is the basic tool for you to have a broad understanding of the outside world of your submarine. It is advisable to upgrade the sonar system as soon as possible, as it can help you collect materials faster and would help avoid potential dangers in the dark in advance.)

"The detection range is 500 meters; well, it's a start, but it's not enough, especially if something further away from my sub can see me and I can't see it."

"But at this stage, it should be enough."

Norman complained, knowing that if the sonar range was bigger, it would have kept him safe from dangers surrounding him on his journey towards the abyss.

Then, he decisively turned on the sonar system.

The next moment, the picture on the sonar display changed instantly.

A huge, three-dimensional map was mapped in front of him out of thin air.

Among them, Tartarus is located in the middle position.

A series of obvious sound waves are centered on his sub and continuously move outwards in a perfect circle.

Then, through the feedback information, a virtual topographic map of the nearby sea area is presented on the screen.

A map is simulated on the screen.

It can be roughly judged that Tartarus his sub is currently in an area near the seabed.

At a depth of about a hundred meters below his sub, there is a flat and vast seabed, but it is covered with various huge fissures.

Front, back, left, and right are nothing more than open space; it just shows him that there's no limit to what he can explore, but it's also made the sonar radar not be able to receive any feedback signals on the terrain because of these obstacles.

With the continuous sound waves, six faint green spots gradually appeared on the map.

"This should be the so-called HV points, right?"

Norman thought to himself.

"It seems that my luck is not bad. There are six HV points in the starting area of my sub. I just don't know what these HV points are hiding... Yet that is."

As soon as he said that, Norman immediately concentrated his full attention and focused his eyes on one of the green dots.

The next moment, a magical scene happened.

Just below the green HV point, the golden text appeared out of thin air and gradually condensed into an info drop.

(Info Drop: 360 meters away from you is a chunk of iron ore. Although the chunk of iron ore is not a lot, it is a lot of wealth for you in the starting phase of your journey!)

"It work!!!"

The moment he saw this information drop from the golden text, Norman held his breath, and his heart couldn't stop beating wildly!

Indeed, as he expected, the golden text can not only identify objects and equipment around him, but even the HV point information was detected by his cheat, as it has given him what the HV point might... no, it will have!

Suppressing the excitement in his body, his eyes shifted slightly, and Norman once again looked at the other HV points.

(Info Drop: 420 meters away, there is a piece of fluorescent grass. If you look carefully, you may also find the deep-sea crab's old nest. (Bring a spear gun and diving knife, and your first dinner in the abyss awaits you.)

(Info Drop: At a distance of 498 meters, there is a copper mine; you shouldn't care about its quantity; it will add up, and one day you might be able to build your own monument!)

(Info Drop: At a distance of 430 meters, there is a juvenile deep-abyss worm waiting for food. Go up and feed it with confidence; its nearly five-meter stomach will be your forever home!)

…

As Norman's eyes moved, different information drops would appear below each green HV point.

The golden text seems to have independent thinking and a very sarcastic way of explaining information.

It was as if someone was watching over him and was constantly adding various sarcastic remarks while Norman was viewing something.

That kind of feeling is very weird and creepy, combined with the dim environment in the submarine. There is also a hint of horror; if it's malicious, he's dead, and if it's friendly, he would be a happy boy!

However, at this time, Norman didn't have the heart to think about it; he would just think of it as normal.

There is no need to doubt the golden text; it is nothing more than a cheat.

And this cheat that seemed a little weird just now, at this moment, is his life line!

Sighing deeply "… it is what it is"

Norman let out a long sigh and stared at the boundless darkness outside the porthole. A smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

With this cheat, as long as he doesn't get himself killed, this ocean's abyss and the journey toward itself would be the only threat to him.

However, Norman, who has always been cautious, quickly restrained his joy at gaining this cheat and readjusted his mentality.

He knew very well that, in this vast and boundless abyss, some hidden potential threats might not be visible to his cheat.

Therefore, under no circumstances should he take this situation lightly.

Sitting on the leather seat in the cockpit, Norman narrowed his eyes and compiled a series of pieces of information collected so far in his mind.

Then he began to prepare plans or an idea of his situation into a structured plan.

Now that he has almost understood the content of this survival game and the structure of his submarine, it is time to set sail.

But at this moment, a tremor suddenly came from the surroundings of the submarine as the central control screen burst into a dazzling red light at the same time.

Suddenly, the entire cockpit was shrouded in the scarlet light, and the atmosphere seemed extremely tense and scary.

"What the fuck? What's going on?"

Norman's heart skipped a beat; he didn't know why this was happening, so he hurriedly opened the communication channel to check what happened.

The moment he opened the communication channel, he immediately saw the upper left corner of the list. The logo representing the number of active Pioneers in the area had dropped from 100,000/100,000 to 99,456/100,000!

It hardly takes a lot of thought to know that the number falling must have been representing a pioneer's death!

"What the fuck happened? Hundreds of people were killed in just such a short time."

Norman was shocked and felt a huge shiver of fear run down his back, but at the same time, he took it under control!

He quickly checked the chat in the channel, hoping to get something useful from it.

But it seemed like it didn't matter. As he looked at the regional chat channel, he found that there were a large number of calls for help at the moment!

[Boogie Island: Someone!! Anyone!! Please come and save me! There seems to be something screaming outside my submarine. It's so loud and scary!]

[Pilgrim: Damn it, what's the situation? What's going on? It seems like my submarine was hit by something just now, and now the decompression system alarm started blaring out.]

[Deep Blue: Me too; something is coming from the depths; they seem to be scratching my submarine's shell; help me please; I don't want to die; I don't want to...]

[Giant: It's an abyss monster! There are fucking abyss monsters outside my submarine! It was so big that it swam right in front of my sub. With just one tentacle, or whatever it was, it was bigger than my sub. [I couldn't see its whole body at all, and it almost rolled me and my submarine!]

[Shadow: I... Fuck, really, there really are abyss monsters! There are too many of them; there are red dots everywhere on my sonar; they are approaching me. What the fuck is this, motherfucker? Someone, please save me. Anyone, please. I beg you!]

[My fellow pioneers, it seems I'm to go first. An abyss creature has punctured my submarine shell. The water level of my living cabin has reached 60%, and the ocean water will soon submerge me. … Fuck.. Fuck.. this is not how I thought I would go out. *sob sob* I don't want to die. I don't want to die.. what is that? What the fuck is tha... ahhhhhhhhhhhh?]

[Black Pearl: Everyone that's still alive, calm down. This should be the protection wearing off. We can't stay in the place we were teleported to; we must set sail. Now, before more of us die, this survival game is using this as a threat mechanism to force us to set sail as soon as possible! Don't stay at the spawn point; let's set sail now!]

…

Looking at the calls for help in the communication channel, Norman gradually frowned.

The joy of getting his cheat was gone, and his mood gradually became heavy.

Although, for now, the area where he is located has not encountered the existence of what other people call abyss monsters, obviously, this does not mean he is an exception!

It can also be seen from this point that this deep-diving survival game seems to have no protection at the spawn point; it seems whatever teleported us here wants us gone!

It's only been a few minutes since the start of the game, and most people haven't even figured out how to operate their submarines, but the crisis has come without warning: move or die.

Many pioneers have been attacked by abyss creatures already, and the difficulty of this survival game just goes from 1 to shit!

After pondering for a while, Norman did not dare to delay any longer.

Perhaps, as Black Pearl said, the brief protection period had passed and the threat mechanism had begun to take effect.

Looking at the calm situation around him now, other than the blaring red lights, at some point, shit will hit the fan for him as well.

At this time, even if there is a cheat, it won't be useful if he inevitably ends up in the belly of an abyss monster!

After all, driving a submarine without even a single sub-borne weapon, just encountering an abyss monster, he would have no ability to resist.

Norman immediately decided to set sail and leave the spawn point first!
