The viewers couldn't help but gasp in amazement. When Pure White played this part, his Seamoth was damaged by a Crab Snake, forcing him to escape and take a loss.
Compared to that, the Prawn Suit's overwhelming combat power was clear as day!
Soon, Zoe had successfully killed a 10-meter-long Crab Snake.
"Phew... This wave, this wave is like Camille solo-killing Cassiopeia!" Zoe cheered, exhaling deeply. Her face lit up with pride. "This Prawn Suit is amazing, guys! So powerful!"
Not just her — the viewers watching the stream were equally impressed.
Fighting monsters in a mecha suit — this was every boy's dream!
"But man, those snakes are terrifying..." Zoe shivered. Snakes, like spiders, were naturally unsettling to most people.
Still, Zoe kept her head. Despite her victory against one Crab Snake, she knew better than to get cocky. She cautiously scanned the nearby Mushroom Forest, carefully avoiding the towering pink mushrooms.
Zoe knew there were probably hundreds of Crab Snakes lurking inside them.
Killing one snake was fine, but getting swarmed? Even the mighty Prawn Suit wouldn't save her then.
After some time, Zoe saw pink Crab Snakes slithering out of their mushroom homes — thankfully, none attacked her since she kept her distance.
"Geez... Look at those snakes! If a female streamer who's afraid of reptiles saw this, they'd freak out…" Zoe chuckled.
Before she could finish, her viewers roasted her in the chat:
"Pfft, Zoe, aren't you a female streamer?"
"This wave... Zoe roasted herself!"
"Hey, Zoe... what's your plan with these cute pink snakes?"
Annoyed, Zoe defended herself. "I'm not talking about myself! I meant... uh... never mind!"
She wisely cut herself off — any further joking might push the moderators to step in.
Eventually, Zoe reached Vault 2, the underwater refuge built by the Intrepid's crew.
Parking her Prawn Suit outside, Zoe grabbed her gun and flashlight, cautiously stepping inside.
Like Pure White before her, Zoe was amazed by the blueprints scattered throughout the shelter — water filters, bio-energy generators, large aquariums, and even a small nuclear reactor.
"Wow... With these blueprints, I can build my own underwater base!" Zoe exclaimed.
Excitedly, she entered the final room and found the voice recorder on the bedside table.
Moments later, the voice of Captain Xiao Yu echoed in the room. Her weak but serious tone revealed everything — the mysterious bacteria, the Skybreakers hunting infected individuals, and the alien building linked to the Skybreakers.
Finally, the recording mentioned the Alien Key, two special tools, and Captain Xiao Yu's encouraging final words.
When the recording ended, Zoe fell silent, her excitement fading. Her heart felt heavy with respect and admiration for Captain Xiao Yu.
"Guys... I just realized something," Zoe said quietly. "All the people we've met in this game... they're all really good people."
"Yeah... Sister Zhou's right."
"Whether it's the second mate who gave us coordinates, the Aurora's crew who came to rescue us, or Captain Xiao Yu and the Intrepid's crew... they were all heroes."
"It's so sad... None of them survived."
"Man... the old thief really knows how to punch us in the gut."
"But you know... maybe it's because they were so united that the Dragon Empire became such a powerful nation 400 years later."
The chat filled with heartfelt messages, as viewers reflected on the game's emotional depth.
Moments later, Zoe's mood shifted as she discovered the Shock Gun and Stasis Rifle in the final drawers.
"Whoa... these guns are insane!" Zoe shouted, her sadness quickly replaced with excitement. "The Shock Gun manipulates gravity, and the Stasis Rifle... freezes time! Time-stopping powers, people!!!"
Like Pure White, Zoe couldn't resist testing her new toys.
For the next ten minutes, the local Ghost-Eye Fish population became her unfortunate test subjects, suffering under Zoe's endless experiments.
Once she finally calmed down, Zoe grinned.
"Okay, water friends... time for the next step — The Alien Turret!"
"The Alien Key's ready... and with these new weapons and my Prawn Suit, I'm unstoppable! Even if the turret's filled with danger... I'll be fine!"
Zoe's confidence soared — her impressive gear had her feeling invincible.
Before heading out, Zoe smartly repaired her Prawn Suit and stocked up on supplies from the rich mineral deposits around Vault 2.
Once ready, she set off — only to realize that getting out of the cave was harder than expected.
Since the exit was high above, Zoe needed to grapple her way out using her Hook Claw.
Her first few attempts... failed miserably.
"Ugh... Chang'e, can you drive the Prawn Suit for me?" Zoe pleaded.
"The Prawn Suit does not support autopilot," Chang'e replied coldly. "Please rely on your own skills. If you require assistance, I can provide training."
"Fine... fine…" Zoe sighed.
After ten minutes of intense practice with Chang'e's guidance, Zoe finally mastered the grapple + thruster combo and successfully swung her way out of the cave.
Emerging back into open waters, Zoe found another Reefback Leviathan and hitched a ride toward the island.
Twenty minutes later, Zoe arrived at the Alien Turret.
Wearing her Prawn Suit, she stomped across the sandy beach toward the massive green structure.
The force field still blocked the entrance. Zoe approached the console, pulled out the Alien Key, and inserted it.
With a soft click, the key fit perfectly — and the glowing force field vanished.
"It worked!" Zoe cheered.
"Nice! The key's legit!"
"Shoutout to Captain Xiao Yu — her sacrifice saved us!"
"You've got this, Zoe! Go finish what she started!"
Zoe took a deep breath. "Right... Captain Xiao Yu couldn't make it here... but I will. Let's do this!"
Forgetting this was just a game, Zoe felt fully immersed in the story — determined to honor Captain Xiao Yu's memory.
The interior of the turret was eerily quiet. The walls, ceiling, and floor were all made from the same dark green metal.
Strange glowing patterns lined the walls — complex yet oddly beautiful.
Further inside, Zoe spotted a green crystal cube on a pedestal.
"What's this?" Zoe scanned it with her wristband.
Ding!
Ion Crystal: An alien crystal capable of stabilizing ion potential energy. Its stored energy equals that of a small-scale nuclear explosion. Despite its power, it appears to be used as a simple battery.
"Wait... WHAT?! This thing's just a battery?" Zoe gasped.
"Ion crystals: the AA batteries of the alien world!"
"Aliens are BUILT DIFFERENT!"
Laughing nervously, Zoe left the crystal untouched.
Eventually, Zoe reached a large elevator shaft with no visible lift inside.
"Jump down? Seriously?" Zoe muttered.
Chang'e's voice chimed in:
"For safe transport, simply jump in."
"...Yeah, right." Zoe hesitated but eventually jumped in.
Instantly, she felt herself free-falling at full speed.
"AAAAAHHHHH!!!" Zoe screamed.
But just before impact, her descent suddenly slowed, and a force field gently cushioned her landing.
"Phew... almost had a heart attack..." Zoe muttered.
"See? I told you it was safe."
"...I swear, Chang'e... I'm gonna throw this bracelet if you keep trolling me..."
As she pressed forward, Zoe couldn't help but smile — this adventure was far from over
