Lin Yao was somewhat surprised, wondering what Xiao Deli's purpose was in saying all this, so he remained silent and simply nodded in confirmation.
"Alright, in that case, as an ordinary person, I hope you can do your best to save your compatriots and prevent the medicine from ending up abroad, even if their submarines have already entered our territorial waters, even if their navy follows us in the future, never compromise!"
Xiao Deli's resolute attitude and impassioned emotions surprised Lin Yao even more, who asked in bewilderment, "Foreign submarines have sailed into our country's territorial waters? And they even deployed their navy?"
“Yes,” Xiao Deli nodded emphatically, “The submarine has arrived, and the navies of various countries are also being mobilized urgently. According to the intelligence our military has obtained, their target is our country.”
"oh……"
Lin Yao replied somewhat blankly, wondering what these countries were up to. Judging from their tone, it seemed like more than just one or two countries had joined forces? Was this another Eight-Nation Alliance?

"Alright, I'm off. If anything seems amiss, or if you haven't heard from me for a long time, then you should return."
Lin Yao looked at Xiao Deli with a smile, his tone casual, "Be careful on your way back."
"Okay, we will stay at three locations as planned, and we will be at one of these three locations for the next month. Take care and be sure to come back safely."
Xiao Deli shook his head vigorously, his serious expression showing that he was not at ease.
Although Lin Yao's specific purpose was unclear, the submarine had now entered the outer perimeter of the legendary and mysterious Bermuda Triangle. The remaining exploration would be carried out by Lin Yao alone, which was Xiao Deli's biggest worry.
I heard from my father, General Xiao Li'ao, and General Xia that Lin Yao has extraordinary personal strength. His last expedition to the Diaoyu Islands fully proved his ability, and he could even be called "the world's number one". But now we have entered the Lost Land with its world mystery. Who can guarantee that the mysterious power of Bermuda will be weaker than Lin Yao?
Lin Yao patted Xiao Deli on the shoulder and walked towards the suspended staircase.
The Type 095 nuclear submarine, which is incredibly noisy, will be detected by satellites of various countries as soon as it surfaces. He needs to leave the submarine quickly so that Xiao Deli and the others can finish surfacing. With a large number of "Bigu Dan" (a type of energy supplement), as long as all systems are working properly, it would be fine for Xiao Deli and the others to stay underwater for a year.
With a splash, Lin Yao plunged into the sea from the hull of the submarine, leaving Xiao Deli, who was full of concern, behind. Xiao Deli had no choice but to re-enter the submarine and dive to the seabed to await the outcome of Lin Yao's mission.
“A mysterious disappearance is understandable. Even if it’s an instantaneous arrest and control of an aircraft or ship, preventing everyone from sending out a distress signal in time, I wouldn’t be too surprised. We can do that too.”
As Lin Yao protected his body and quickly descended, he muttered to himself, "But who can control all the electronic signals in such a large area? Including the electronic signals in the air. Even all the missing planes didn't have time to send any danger signals before they just disappeared."
"Could it be that 'Mai-i's' abilities are this powerful?"
Xiaocao couldn't answer Lin Yao's question. Based on her memories of "Wuyi," even objects flying in the air shouldn't have disappeared, since "Wuyi's" abilities could only be manifested in water. Giving it a hot air balloon was a problem it couldn't solve, let alone those high-speed and powerful fighter jets.
Seeing that Xiaocao hadn't answered yet, Lin Yao pressed on, "Xiaocao, do you think what's below might be something else? Something much better than the 'Dance Dress', right?"
"Won't."
Xiaocao said with absolute certainty, "I was certain it was 'Dance Costume' before I came here, and now I'm even more certain it's it!"
"Because 'cryptophytes' are not only distributed in the nearby waters centered around Bermuda, but their density is also greater here. As we descend, we can encounter a 'cryptophyte' every ten seconds or so. This means that 'Dancing Cloak' is right under this sea, and 'cryptophytes' are its clones!"
Lin Yao let out a sound of shock, expressing his inner turmoil. Before coming to Bermuda, Xiao Cao hadn't mentioned these things in detail, only confirming that she was coming and asking Lin Yao to take charge of the submarine equipment. It seemed that she had the idea of using modern weapons when the time was right.
In the sea and deep sea, some modern technologies and weapons are extremely effective. The search and control of "Dancing Suit" will definitely rely on these technologies, which is why Lin Yao requested the assistance of the country's highest-level nuclear submarines equipped at full capacity.
The military attached great importance to this and sent Xiao Deli to personally command and cooperate, which can be considered a good execution of the Chairman's order - any matter concerning Lin Yao and Min Hong is a major matter concerning the survival of the country and the nation, and everyone must do their best to cooperate.
"Yaoyao, don't be angry. There was a reason why I didn't say it before." Xiaocao quickly comforted Lin Yao when he stopped talking. "'Hidden algae' can be found in any sea area in the world, but the frequency of their appearance varies from place to place. Before I came here, I couldn't be sure that the Bermuda Triangle was where it was hiding. I only found out after I arrived."
"Oh." Lin Yao replied awkwardly, thinking to himself that he understood. He was even more surprised by the "Dancing Clothes" ability, because the Hidden Algae were all its clones. Didn't that mean that the entire ocean had become its backyard, and it knew everything that happened in any place?
"Cryptolonia" is a general term used in the biological community to describe a magical algal growth phenomenon. Some different species of marine algae can miraculously coexist in certain relationships, forming algal mixtures ranging in size from a basketball to an adult. Some of these mixtures have a dense structure, like a warrior wearing layers of armor, while others are like a transparent jellyfish, with only a faintly connected structure in the seawater. The impact of a fish can shatter it into pieces.
Just as the scientific community has studied "Tai Sui" as a magical life form formed by certain types of slime mold, "cryptoalgae" has also been studied by the scientific community but has not yet made any major breakthroughs. It has a very magical characteristic, that is, as long as its living environment has a continuous connection with the ocean, it can live peacefully indefinitely, even if this connection is through the thinnest rubber tube that connects the aquarium to the seawater in nature.
Once the environment in which "cryptoalgae" live is disconnected from the natural seawater, it will inevitably "die" within 24 hours. This "death" is specifically manifested in the disappearance of the connection between the various algae that make up "cryptoalgae". They can no longer maintain a stable aggregated survival state, but can only continue to survive in individual algal forms. The aggregated spheres will naturally disappear.
This characteristic is the real reason why the scientific community calls them "cryptoalgae," because all marine biologists are certain that there must be some kind of organism that has not yet been discovered and found by the scientific community. It is this "hidden" organism that allows different algae to grow and develop together as a whole, and even to possess certain animal characteristics.
"Yaoyao, don't bump into them!" Xiaocao's scream interrupted Lin Yao's recollection.
Without time to think about why he couldn't run into the 'Hidden Algae', Lin Yao instinctively chose to follow the grass's instructions, sliding past a 'Hidden Algae' that was at least three meters in diameter.
"What's wrong?" Only after avoiding the enormous 'hidden algae' did Lin Yao have a chance to ask the question.
“Yaoyao, 'Maiyi' almost found out I was here.”
Xiaocao's tone carried a hint of relief, "It's all my fault for not telling you beforehand. Although these 'hidden algae' have no special abilities, they are 'Dancing Clothes' clones used to collect information. The lack of offensive power does not mean that their senses are sharp. If you had just bumped into them, they would have detected my tentacles covering your body to help resist the water pressure, and I would have been exposed. I wouldn't have been able to catch them off guard."
“Oh,” Lin Yao suddenly realized, “Then isn’t ‘Wu Yi’ much better than you in this aspect? Look, it doesn’t need tentacles or cables to form and control clones. It controls them directly with its thoughts. They are invisible, colorless, and cannot be blocked or interrupted.”
"Yes!" Little Grass replied irritably, "It's the best in the world in this regard, no one can compete with it. Nobody knows how it controls itself. It has billions of bodies, but none of them have any attack power. Since it can condense those algae, can't this kind of long-range control be used in battle? This is something that no one knows. Yao Yao, how do you think it does it?"
