Chapter five hundred and twentieth eight deep sea despair

Fitz had long realized this, and even when he bandaged his broken arm, he intended to slow down his breathing speed, because pain and irregular breathing exercises would aggravate the consumption of oxygen.

But this is just a temporary measure and cannot play a fundamental role at all. The oxygen will be exhausted sooner or later, which is just to slow down the death of some two people.

After looking around, Fitz began to look for useful tools, whether it was to escape from here or send signals.

There was a lot of debris piled up in the ejection compartment, and Fitz didn't know what was here. After looking through it, he found that there were only a lot of medical items and useless parts, data cables and seat belts, and a small oxygen device. However, the good news is that the ejection compartment itself has the function of radio.

As a physics expert, mechanical engineering is naturally no problem. Fitz quickly repaired the radio and tried to send some signals, but he tragically discovered that the radio in the ejection chamber was an internal device, and only S.H.E.L.D. can receive it only with S.H.E.L.D.

But there is no S.H.I.E.D.

Of course, Fitz knew very well about Hydra's attack and the attack from the inside, and SHIELD itself was overwhelmed with the extra manpower to rescue them. In the deep sea, there was no backup or teammates.

After sending the signal out, Fitz began to think about other methods, but there were very few things that could be used in the ejection cabin, and even the top student could not create Gundam out of thin air.

Ten minutes...

Twenty minutes...

Forty minutes...

An hour later, Fitz still didn't think of any way to go out. The glass in the cabin window was very strong, but it also blocked the way for the two of them to go out. Even the water pressure could not be washed away. What's more, the two unarmed technical agents of the support team.

There was a small oxygen device in the ejection compartment, which was enough to last for thirty meters of water. However, at this time, the two were completely trapped in the ejection compartment and could not get out at all. If they could not find their way out before the oxygen was exhausted, then there was only a dead end waiting for them.

But the only good news is that Simmons wakes up.

"We..." She stood up and looked at the surrounding environment. The first thing she saw was Fitz leaning against the bulkhead, with a bandage hanging on her left hand, and then the gloomy sea water outside the cabin.

"We are still alive!" Simmons said happily, but she obviously didn't understand the data of the ejection capsule, because if she knew that the ejection capsule could not be opened, she would probably not be so happy.

Fitz smiled, "Yes, we are still alive, but..." He had to tell the truth, not only needed Simmons to calm down, but also needed her help out, "We were trapped at the bottom of the sea thirty meters. The ejection chamber used part of the function of the pressure chamber in the early stages of construction. The glass was very resistant to pressure, and the ejection chamber could adapt to the pressure of various environments."

"Say something I can understand." Simmons is not a PhD in engineering, she frowned and looked at Fitz in confusion.

"So...so we." Fitz looked into her eyes and lowered his shoulders helplessly.

Simmons understood what he meant, not only the close IQ of the two, but also the tacit understanding developed by the two working together for many years. "So...so we can't get out?" she asked in disbelief.

Fitz nodded...

Sparse bubbles rose from the seabed and slid upwards along the glass of the ejection compartment, as if bringing the breath of the entire ocean. The colorful fish school did not exist at all, because here there was only infinite coldness and darkness.

Simmons was sticking to the edge of the bulkhead and looking out along the glass, she saw the depths of the seabed, and saw the endless silence and depth, just like her pupils, without any resurrection or any other color.

After more than ten minutes of tossing, neither of them had any way to get out of here. They couldn't get out, and they had no oxygen and died.

"Are you scared?" Simmons asked suddenly.

"Of course." Fitz, who was sitting on the other side, held his broken arm, motionless, as if he was in a daze, but he was always paying attention to Simmons.

There is not much oxygen in the ejection compartment, and the two of them have less time left.

"So too," Simmons continued, "and afraid and hungry."

Everyone has their own opinions on death, which may be different or the same, but obviously, there is no pressure on the two people in the science group to communicate because they both use scientific methods.

The end of one life means the beginning of another life, because everything in the world is circular, and will not disappear or appear suddenly. If there is a result, there must be a reason. Everything is conserved and everything has a cause.

Nagging about the words that only biologists can understand, Simmons seemed to have suddenly grasped something, but in this quiet and sad atmosphere, the little inspiration suddenly slipped away.

Fitz suddenly calmed down when he listened to Simmons' nagging. When he was about to die, people would figure out many things that they couldn't understand normally, such as love and confession, which are human nature.

"Do you believe in those non-scientific existences?" Fitz asked suddenly.

"What?" Simmons was stunned for a moment, as if he had not reacted, because in her memory, Fitz was a very highly educated agent of S.H.E.L.D., just like her, and they advocated science and never doubted it. "Of course I don't believe it." She said with a funny look.

"Yes, I don't believe it either." Fitz smiled and shook his head, "but there are many things that really cannot be explained, such as love and feelings, how they are manifested, are they just hormones secreted by humans? The hormones must not achieve this."

"The hormones secreted affect the brain and thus the judgment of human thinking. There is no other explanation." Simmons spoke very quickly, but said with a firm heart. "Even if there is, it is just other unknown hormone causes that humans have not discovered yet. Everything can be explained by science."

"That's it." Fitz smiled and swallowed some of the words he was about to say. "I thought I needed to believe in some unscientific existence occasionally."

"How could it be?" Simmons smiled softly, "Everything is explained, don't worry, we will definitely come up with a solution."

Although she said that, she also knew that there was not much time left, and the two of them might have been this period of their lives, and then they were immersed in the seabed together.

But Fitz, who was sitting with his arms folded, suddenly said, "No... impossible!" He seemed to have seen something very strange and weird, with his eyes wide open, "This is impossible!"

Simmons was sitting opposite Fitz and might not have seen any scene in the cabin window behind him just now. He thought Fitz was saying that it was impossible to come up with a solution, so he smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, we can definitely come up with a solution."

But at this time, Fitz shook his head, stared at the cabin window with his eyes wide open, and raised his arms to point outside, "No, I'm not talking about that..."

As a biology expert, Simmons naturally had a high IQ. He immediately realized that there might be some strange creatures outside the window. As a girl's instinct, she was very afraid of such things. Moreover, she was so close to the cabin window, so she rushed to Fitz. At this moment, something like a shadow flashed outside the window, which scared Simmons to scream, "Ah!"

Fitz quickly hugged her in his arms and comforted her softly, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, she... may not be in danger."

"What?" Simmons was confused by Fitz again, not understanding what he meant, what was no danger, and what was... "She"?

Simmons stared at Fitz wide, then looked out the window again, and just then, the shadow seemed to turn back, and there was more than one. When the shadow was pressed against the cabin window, Fitz and Simmons finally clearly saw what it was.

That's a mermaid! (To be continued...)
