Compared to the deathly silent sea shrouded in thick fog, the world beneath the surface brimmed with life.
Schools of fish densely woven together like nets, luminous jellyfish dancing gracefully, corals so red they seemed to drip blood, and all manner of strangely shaped marine creatures whose names they did not know. Together, they formed a remarkably rich undersea ecosystem.
At this moment, this vivid and colorful seabed welcomed rare visitors.

As soon as Nis finished speaking, he took a bone lounge chair from his spatial equipment, tossed it onto a suitably sloped stretch of seabed, and lazily sprawled across it, looking utterly at ease.
"There's still more than half an hour until noon." Angel turned to Reynolds. "I need to confirm this again. Is it true that the ocean currents change around noon?"
Reynolds pondered for a moment. "They don't change every day at noon, but if we want to find where the laboratory is, we can only confirm it through changes in the currents."
Their group had come to the seabed precisely to wait for the currents to shift.
According to Reynolds, the laboratory was hidden somewhere on the deep seabed within the Mist Belt. Moreover, it was mobile. To determine its coordinates, they could
