Fitz was aware of this for a long time, and even when he bandaged his broken arm, he deliberately slowed down his breathing, because the pain and irregular wheezing movements can exacerbate oxygen consumption.

But this is only a stopgap measure, it will not work at all, sooner or later the oxygen will run out, and this will only slow down the rate of death of some of the two people.

Looking around, Fitz began to look for useful tools, whether it was to escape or send a signal.

There was a lot of clutter piled up in the ejection pod, and Fitz didn't know what was here, so he looked through it and there were only a lot of medical items and useless parts, counting jù lines and harnesses and stuff, and a small oxygen device, but the good news was that the ejection pod itself had a radio function.

As an expert in physics, mechanical engineering is naturally not a problem, Fitz quickly repaired the radio and tried to send some signals, but he tragically found that the radio in the catapult capsule is an internal device, and only S.H.I.E.L.D.'s own frequency can be received.

But at this time, there is no S.H.I.E.L.D.

Of course, S.H.I.E.L.D. understands the situation of Fitz very well at this time, Hydra's attack, and it is an attack from within, and S.H.I.E.L.D. itself is overwhelmed, how can there be extra manpower to rescue them, alone in the deep sea, without backup and teammates.

After sending the signal out, Fitz began to think of other methods, but there were so few things that could be used in the ejection pod that even a top student could not build a Gundam out of thin air.

Ten minutes......

Twenty minutes......

Forty minutes......

An hour later, Fitz still hadn't thought of any way out, and the glass of the hatch was very strong. But it also blocked the way for the two of them to get out. Not even the water pressure can be washed away. Not to mention the two unarmed technical agents of the support group.

There is a small oxygen device in the ejection chamber, which is enough to survive the water depth of 30 meters, but at this time, the two of them are completely trapped in the ejection chamber and cannot get out at all.

The only good news, though, is that Simmons has woken up.

"...... we?" She got up and looked at her surroundings. The first thing I saw was Fitz leaning against the bulkhead with a bandage hanging from his left hand, and then the gloomy waters outside the cabin.

"We're alive!" Simmons said happily, but she obviously didn't know the number of ejection chambers, because if she knew that the ejection chamber could not be opened, she would probably not be so happy.

Fitz smiled, "yes, we're alive, but ......" He had to tell the truth, and it wasn't just Simmons who needed to calm down. She also needs to help get out, "We are trapped at the bottom of the sea at thirty meters. In the early stages of construction, the ejection chamber used some of the functions of the pressure chamber, the glass is very pressure-resistant, and the ejection chamber can adapt to the pressure of various environments. ”

"Say something I can understand." Simmons, who wasn't a Ph.D. in engineering, frowned and looked at Fitz in bewilderment.

"So...... So we. Fitz looked into her eyes and hung his shoulders a little helplessly.

Simmons understood what he meant, not only the proximity of the two in IQ, but also the tacit understanding that the two had developed through years of working together, "So...... So we can't get out? She asked, trembling in disbelief.

Fitz nodded......

The slightest bubble rose from the bottom of the sea and slipped up the glass of the catapult chamber, as if bringing the breath of the whole ocean over, and the colorful fish school did not exist at all, because here, there was only infinite coldness and darkness.

Simmons pressed against the edge of the bulkhead, and looking out through the glass, she saw the depths of the seabed, and saw the endless silence and depth, like her pupils, without any life, without any other color.

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

"Are you afraid?" Simmons asked suddenly.

"Of course." Fitz, who was sitting on the other side, was holding his broken arm, motionless, as if in a daze, but he kept an eye on Simmons at all times.

There was not much oxygen in the ejection chamber, and the two of them were running out of time.

"Me too." Simmons continued, "Scared and hungry. ”

Everyone has their own opinions on death, which may be different or different, but apparently, there is no pressure on the two members of the science group to communicate because they both use the scientific method.

The end of a life means the beginning of another life, because every qiē in the world is circular, it will not disappear and will not appear suddenly, there must be a cause, a qiē is conserved, and a qiē has a cause.

Babbling words that only biologists could understand, Simmons seemed to suddenly grasp something, but in this atmosphere of silence and sadness, this little bit of inspiration slipped away suddenly.

Fitz listened to Simmons' nagging, and suddenly calmed down, when he was about to die, people would figure out a lot of things that they usually couldn't understand, such as love and confession, which is the common nature of human beings.

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

"What?" Simmons was stunned for a moment, and didn't seem to react, because in her memory, Fitz was a highly educated S.H.I.E.L.D. agent like her, and the two of them admired science and never doubted, "Of course I don't believe it." She said with a smile.

"yes, I don't believe it either." Fitz smiled and shook his head, "But there are many things that really can't be explained, such as love and affection, how they are expressed, are they just hormones secreted by humans, and hormones definitely can't reach this." ”

"There is no other explanation for the hormones secreted by the secretion of hormones that affect the brain and, in turn, the judgment of the human mind." Simmons said in a very fast tone, but said categorically, "Even if there is, it is only other unknown hormone causes that have not yet been discovered by human beings, and everything can be explained by science." ”

"That's right." Fitz sneered, swallowing back some of the words he was about to say, "I thought I needed to believe in some unscientific existence once in a while." ”

"How so." Simmons showed a gentle smile, "It's all explainable, don't worry, we'll definitely figure it out." ”

Although she said that, she also knew that time was running out, and the last life of the two of them might be this time, and then they would be immersed in the bottom of the sea together.

But Fitz, who was sitting with his arms crossed, suddenly said, "No...... No way! His eyes widened as if he had seen something very strange and strange, "This can't be! ”

Simmons may not have seen what happened in the hatch behind him because he was sitting opposite Fitz, and thought that what Fitz said was that it was impossible to come up with a solution, so he smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to figure it out." ”

But at this time, Fitz shook his head, looked at the cabin window with round eyes, raised his arm and pointed out, "No, no, I'm not talking about that ......"

As a biology expert, Simmons's IQ is naturally not low, and he immediately reacted that there might be some strange creatures outside the window, as a girl's instinct, she was very afraid of such a thing, and she was so close to the cabin window, so she hurriedly ran to Fitz's side, and at this time, there seemed to be a shadow-like thing flashing outside the window, which frightened Simmons into a scream, "Ah! ”

Fitz hurriedly hugged her in his arms and comforted her softly, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, she's ...... There may be no danger. ”

"What?" Simmons was once again confused by Fitz and did not understand what he meant, what was not dangerous, and what was ...... "she"?

Simmons stared at Fitz with wide eyes, then looked out the window, and just then, the shadow seemed to turn back, and there was more than one, and the moment the shadow clinged to the outside of the hatch, Fitz and Simmons finally saw clearly what it was.

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