30 THE STORM

CHAPTER 30 THE STORM Roz was walking along the bottom of another shallow sea. The poison tide clouded her vision, so she had to move slowly. But with each step, the changing currents swept away more dust clouds until the water was clear. Then a new problem emerged. Heavy rains began pounding the surface. Choppy waves began stirring up sand from the seafloor. The dark sky began rumbling and flashing. BOOM! A deafening sound blasted through the water. It wasn't thunder; it was lightning hitting a wave. A lightning strike could easily destroy the robot, and her Survival Instincts flared. Roz increased her speed, marching north as fast as she could, but the current was working against her. BOOM!

第三十章风暴罗兹正沿着另一片浅海的海底走着。 毒潮模糊了她的视线，所以她不得不慢慢地移动。 但每走一步，不断变化的水流就会冲走更多的尘埃云，直到水变得清澈。 然后一个新问题出现了。 大雨开始袭击地面。 波涛汹涌的海浪开始把海底的沙子搅起。 黑暗的天空开始隆隆作响，闪烁着光芒。 繁荣!震耳欲聋的声音从水中传来。 那不是雷声；那是闪电打在波浪上。 雷击可以轻易地摧毁机器人，她的生存本能爆发了。 罗兹加快了速度，尽可能快地向北行进，但水流对她不利。 繁荣!

Another flash sizzled across the waves. Roz needed to get far away from there. So she kicked off from the ground and swam with the current, and soon she was moving at a blistering speed. BOOM! The robot pumped her arms and legs, pushing the limits of her body as she tried to escape from the storm. The seafloor passed beneath her, faster and faster, and then it suddenly dropped off. Roz glided over the edge of an undersea cliff, and with the storm still raging above, she dove straight down into the gloom. The thunder and lightning and rough water near the surface were replaced by the still, silent darkness of the deep ocean.

另一道闪光穿过海浪。 罗兹需要远离那里。 于是她从地上跳起来，跟着水流游，很快她就以极快的速度游了起来。 繁荣!当她试图逃离风暴时，机器人给她的胳膊和腿打气，推动她身体的极限。 海底在她下面越走越快，然后突然下沉。 罗兹滑过海底悬崖的边缘，上方的暴风雨仍在肆虐，她径直俯冲到黑暗中。 海面附近的雷声、电闪雷鸣和波涛汹涌的海水被深海的寂静、寂静的黑暗所取代。
