Kapitel 286: Abyssal Trench

Alex's mind raced as he continued his descent into the abyssal trench.

The deeper he went, the more he questioned whether his random choice had been a mistake.

He kept his senses, along with the ship's senses, on high alert, straining for any hint of an enemy presence.

"King, any signs of life, or unnatural activity yet?" Alex asked, his voice laced with impatience and dissatisfaction.

"Negative, Captain. No signs of life or technological activity detected so far," the AI responded.

Alex gritted his teeth. He was more than halfway down the trench now, and still, there was nothing. If the Red Demons weren't here, then they had to be at the other location. He couldn't afford to waste more time.

"King, prepare for an emergency ascent. If we don't find anything within the next five minutes, we'll head to the other site," Alex ordered.

"Understood, Captain. Emergency ascent protocols initiated," King replied.
