The audience in the 369 live broadcast room was worried:
[It's really unlucky. The hot spring pool over there actually broke. The water will soon pour into the ground, right? ]
[Is there such a large volume of water? The cavity inside the base is not small. The host and others are at the highest point, so there is no need to worry too much. ]
[But the water will flood a section of the passage they came from. Will they have to dive and swim back then? ]
[I think a new channel can be dug from the top. ]
[Then why did the people who left the base dig a tunnel from the bottom instead of leaving from the top? ]
[Aren’t there strange bugs in the passage above? The antennas were blocked, probably because they were afraid of other dangers. ]
[The broadcaster doesn’t have to worry too much, she can control the giant centipede. If there are really strange bugs on it, they won’t be afraid of the poisonous sacs. ]
[What if it’s that kind of terrifying flying monster? ]
[How can there be so many eventualities? We really encountered a flying monster. The four of them here are all superpowers. Are they afraid of those beasts? ]
"The hot spring water is pouring in." Li Sa combined the information about the Thousand-Legged Giant Centipede and told Li Tianya, while looking at the comments from the audience in the live broadcast room.
The kind reminders from the audience made her think that perhaps the strange substance wrapped around the antenna was related to the nest of the flying monster. When the giant centipede dug the tunnel, it also avoided a large area directly above the base and stayed away from the antenna.
Of course, it may be that the antenna itself contains some harmful substances that make various creatures avoid it. The signal is not smooth because of the geology or soil layer, for example, it is covered with rock and soil that blocks the signal.
Li Tianya worried: "Will Fan Gang and Wan Youfa be in danger there?"
Li Sa roughly estimated the elevation of the spaces on both sides, but it was difficult to determine for a while. After all, she didn't know how much hot spring water there was. If there was no upper limit, not only Fan Gang's side, but also their space here would be filled sooner or later. In short, the plan to dig a way upward must be prepared, and you cannot dig a hole until the water has flooded your feet.
Li Sa said: "I used my mental power to contact them and asked them to check the situation and try to avoid high places."
The communication has not yet been restored, and there is no way for remote communication between several people's terminals. She closed her eyes and concentrated, sending her thoughts out. Wan Youfa's brainwave energy was lower than Fan Gang's, so she concentrated on giving him news.
After a few minutes, Wan Youfa seemed to understand.
It happened that someone in their live broadcast room also reported the news, saying that they saw the water level of the hot spring lake drop rapidly in someone else's live broadcast room. If it were an ordinary lake, it would have been frozen at this time. The water temperature of the hot spring lake was extremely high, and it could still evaporate when the eye of the storm came. However, after the water level dropped rapidly, it was like a missing bowl, which instantly became Ice bowl. This is a wonder that can only be formed when the hot spring water becomes less and the thermal insulation property drops significantly.
Originally, the team relied on the steaming heat from the hot spring lake to barely withstand the low-temperature storm. Now they had to continue digging in the soil and hide deeper. They were quite passive.
Wan Youfa looked at the team mark on the current mission map. His team and Fan Gang's team were very close to Li Sa's team. There seemed to be another team 5 kilometers away from them. That team consisted of three people. He suspected that it was the team that defeated the slave team before. There is an earth controller among them. When the storm comes, they can definitely survive the cold and freezing climate by digging underground space.
The slave team only had the captain and one member left at that time. It was more than ten kilometers away from them, almost diagonally across from them, and it had not moved for a long time. It was probably the polar night and storm coming, so they could only stay on the side and dare not move rashly.
Wan Youfa said: "Captain Li told me the news about the rupture of the hot spring pool in my mind. The passage where we just found the hot spring may be filled with water now. The place where the sleeping cabin below us is also filled with water ”
Fan Gang suddenly said: "Wait for me, I will close the stone door, maybe it can block it for a while."
After saying that, he rode the wind down to the room below, only to find that water had begun to flow into the room. The stone gate was originally very heavy and could only be pushed slowly by at least two players together. Now it is even more impossible to close due to the impact of water flow. In desperation, he could only collect a few sleeping pods that seemed to be intact, and then returned to the small room on the upper floor.
Wan Youfa asked: "Why are you back so soon?"
Fan Gang said: "Water has poured into the room below, and the amount of water is getting bigger and bigger. It may fill the sleeping cabin in a few hours." He did not mention that he had taken away the sleeping cabin. This was a private matter in his opinion. There is no need to tell your teammates every detail.
Wan Youfa couldn't think of that level at this time, and just worried: "Is the road we used to enter the base also submerged?"
"At least part of it has been submerged. I don't know if the room below has drainage function, but I suggest that we go up and find Li Sa and the others. While there is still time, our two teams will work together to dig out other ways out. , don’t wait until the water submerges before thinking about how to escape.”
In the room on the top floor of the base, Li Tianya fiddled with the interstellar liaison device for a long time and still couldn't think of a starting point for repair, so he could only give up temporarily and return the thing to Li Sa.
Li Sa said: "Fan Gang went to see it. Water has quickly poured into the large space where the sleeping cabin is placed. They plan to find us to dig a new way out."
The robot projected the structure of the entire base, which looked like a pyramid, with the volume getting smaller as it went up. Therefore, if there were not enough drainage facilities, water would sooner or later fill all the cavities here.
Li Sa looked at the picture and directed the robot to dig a channel for water drainage.
Of course, they only had to excavate the hard stone walls inside. For the rock and soil layers outside the stones, Li Sa tricked the Thousand-legged Giant Centipede to do the work.
With these plans, everyone felt at ease.
When Fan Gang supported Wan Youfa and finally arrived at the highest top-floor room where Li Sa and the others were, the robot reported that the entire lower half of the base had been flooded by hot spring water.
The water contains a large amount of sulfur and other toxic gases, energy consumables are leaking in the base, and a variety of dangerous substances are mixed, which is actually unsafe. Fortunately, they have dug drainage channels to guide the water to a place to be discharged. It's just that the height of the place where the water is leaking is no longer low. Half of the space below the base is still filled with the liquid, and there is a possibility of explosion at any time.
The robot is responsible for monitoring changes in the environmental space, while Li Sa and the others are preparing to dig a new way out diagonally upward.
It was still the old method. They were responsible for opening up the solid stone outer wall. Li Sa controlled the giant centipedes to dig out the rock and soil outside. After a few giant centipedes froze to death due to exhaustion, the passage inside and outside of them had been opened, and only a few feet from the ground were left. Five meters down, the cold air from the outside continues to invade, and it is actually very cold inside the passage.
Li Sa first blocked the newly dug hole with huge rocks to prevent the cold air from flowing into the space where they were, and then waited patiently for the storm to dissipate.
Li Tianya took the time to roast some pieces of meat from the six-legged giant elephant insect beast and distributed them to everyone to replenish their energy. The excellent barbecue technique and the seasoning from Li Sa's seasoning gift pack exuded an alluring aroma in the small room.
Wan Youfa asked eagerly: "What kind of meat is this? Can it be eaten?"
Li Tianya smiled and said, "It's the meat of insect beasts."
Fan Gang and Wan Youfa's expressions changed.
This is the third update of three over the weekend. Thank you all for your votes and comments.
