It rained all afternoon, and it was extremely windy and rainy at night, making it extremely cold.
"Twenty-one degrees Celsius."
Shi Yi held a thermometer for underwater equipment and listened to the sound of rain that continued outside. He felt his hands and feet were a little cold, and he hurriedly started to rub his hands. Luo Lin had already skillfully changed into his diving suit and put on a short-sleeved jacket to keep out the cold. He was currently checking the status of his oxygen tank.
"Luo Lin, let me tell you, I don't have enough points, and I haven't been to a martial arts gym a few times. All I can do is try my best. Although this is the stupidest way, I can't do anything else. "
"Uncle, everyone is working hard." Luo Lin put down the oxygen bottle and picked up Shi Yi's to check, "We all know that in such a scene, saving one's life is actually the best choice, but look at those few Girls, they can't swallow this breath - to be honest, if we survive like this every time, we may never see the day we get promoted."
"Hahaha." Shi Yi smiled, "Upgrade, five thousand points, it really sounds out of reach."
"Some people can get this score in just one or two games. I may be a little behind, but after passing the test field twice more, I can save up to five thousand." Luo Lin's tone also had a hint of smile, " Although my real life is far less exciting than here, I still want to go back."
"...But I think you seem to care more about that girl." Shi Yi was experienced and had long seen Luo Lin's little thoughts. Now that the two of them started chatting, they relaxed a lot.
"Hehe." Luo Lin scratched his head and handed Shi Yi's oxygen bottle over, looking a little embarrassed, "No one in this damn place is in the mood for romance, and I don't want to do those things. But I can have one Comrades you identify with and friends you can chat with are actually pretty good, right?"
"Then I have to remind you... anyone may die here." Shi Yi suddenly said in a serious tone, "A relationship, no matter what kind of relationship it is, is extremely easy to lose here. The more you want to have it, People who have no companions are more likely to be devastated by such a chain reaction..."
"I know." Luo Lin put on the equipment and carried the oxygen bottle behind his back. He turned around and grinned, "But this is human beings. Even if we die, we are still human beings."
The preparation on the other side is a little more complicated.
Lu Ning and Sun Mozhu both had to put waterproof bandages on the wounds. In addition, they also had to give Lu Ning a brief explanation of the basic diving operations. Fortunately, those who can swim are at least not nervous when entering the water, which can reduce a lot of oxygen consumption. So the girls' group came out a little later. By the time everything was ready, it was already eight o'clock in the evening and it was completely dark.
"Be careful on the road. If this is really the base camp, there must be guards."
The group of people did not take a special road, but took advantage of the cover of trees and terrain to move forward in a roundabout way, slowly approaching the shore of Tosu Lake.
There were no guards on the road, but just when they were about to reach the shore, Lu Ning whispered to everyone to stop.
There was no visible guard, but in Lu Ning's eyes he could clearly see the scarlet light spots cruising by the lake, which looked particularly dazzling in the dark night.
"It's an invisible monster."
After hearing this, everyone did not panic, but looked happy.
"That means we've found the right location!"
"Yes, otherwise there is no need for them to defend this place covertly... Should we get rid of all the guards, or sneak into the water?"
"Get into the water and don't create unnecessary problems."
Probably because the guards were invisible, their patrol routes were not particularly concealed. Lu Ning easily found the blind spot of the patrol. After repeatedly explaining the infiltration and escape routes to his companions, the five of them quietly left from the southeast corner of Tosu Lake. There was water in a low-lying area.
"A large area is a good thing, isn't it?" Luo Lin joked before entering the water.
Under the lake, Lu Ning was led by Shu Xingruo to get familiar with diving, while the other three quickly dispersed and swam in different directions. They don't have much time, so they have to separate if they want to find a place. Fortunately, there are no guards in the lake, the water in Tosu Lake is not polluted, and the visibility is pretty good after turning on the waterproof flashlight underwater.
The water pressure is a little uncomfortable, but you get used to it. Lu Ning gradually learned to control her sinking, and then slowly approached the bottom of the lake. She and Shu Xingruo began to carefully search the mud at the bottom of the lake. Fifteen minutes later, the two of them still had nothing to gain. They also met Luo Lin who was going around in another direction. After communicating with each other with a few simple sign languages, they had to change directions.
Gradually, Lu Ning felt that his wound began to sting a little. This was actually not right. After all, the new injury was still treated with the rough suturing method. After diving in the lake for so long, he felt something was really abnormal. .
But it's better not to say it.
Lu Ning refocused her energy and ignored the abnormality of her wound. She lowered her head and continued to shine her flashlight to find what was wrong.
Suddenly, a rock caught her attention.
Like other areas at the bottom of the lake, this area is also covered with aquatic plants, and the rocks have long been covered with algae. If you just casually brushed by, it might not be a big deal, but Lu Ning immediately noticed a circle at the bottom of the stone, regardless of the thickness of the algae. The density is far inferior to other places.
As soon as she discovered it, she immediately pulled Shu Xingruo's arm and swam towards the stone. The two squatted down and worked together to lift the rock upwards. It was actually lifted like a lid, revealing a dusty hatch below.
The two of them immediately knew they had found the place, and all they had to do next was to call their companions over.
It took more than ten minutes to find someone. After returning to the hatch, several people began to study how to open it. Luo Lin and Shi Yi worked together to remove all the surrounding soil and rocks, and found that the surrounding soil was also covered with the same material. Wall”, the depth of the soil is not even twenty centimeters.
Lu Ning stretched out her hand and pressed it on the hatch. If it weren't for the thin crack that could be recognized, she would have thought that it was also a wall. From the imperceptible arc, she could see how huge the thing buried at the bottom of the lake was. At that moment she knew that this was most likely the flying saucer that crashed that year!
But, how to enter?
Just when Lu Ning was in trouble, Sun Mozhu next to him didn't know where he touched. Suddenly, bubbles emerged from the hatch, and then the round cover sank downwards, and water began to pour into the interior. The whole process only took a few seconds. The circular hatch moved to one side, revealing a small cabin filled with water.
Luo Lin made a gesture and was the first to get in along the hole, followed by the others. After all five people entered, the circular hatch returned to its original position, and the waterline in the cabin began to slowly drop. All the water in the cabin was drained out by an unknown drainage device, and air was also injected in. Luo Lin carefully took off the mask and took a breath. After confirming that there was no problem, he nodded to everyone, and several people took off the mask one after another.
"Huh...where do you think this is?" Luo Lin used his flashlight to shine around and found another door about three meters away. He pressed the button and the door slowly opened.
"That flying saucer."
"In the flying saucer."
Lu Ning and Shu Xingruo said at the same time.
"So the so-called star spirits are here? Can we prevent the release of the star spirits by destroying this place?" Luo Lin asked.
"I don't think it's that simple. It's so dark here, and we're not familiar with the route. It's very difficult just to find where the stars are, let alone what if there are safety measures there." Sun Mozhu gently pressed his hand against it. He raised his chin and looked around for a week, but he didn't find any instructions or markings at all.
"Lu Ning, I have to ask you to pay more attention in the flying saucer." Shu Xingruo opened the diving suit a little to let the parasitic vines stretch out, "As for the route map, I can try it."
Then, the vines began to grow rapidly. They climbed up the wall, around the corner, and began to extend along the passage outside. Shu Xingruo's face began to turn pale. She provided all the nutrients needed for rapid growth. Normally, it could be ignored within a few meters. Now it was a bit difficult to directly use it to detect the terrain.
Luo Lin hurriedly took out a few pieces of candy he brought and stuffed them into Shu Xingruo's mouth. The effect was limited, but it was better than nothing.
"There are three floors, and passages up and down have been found. Most of the doors are closed. There is a huge room about one hundred and fifty meters directly ahead. Well... no."
Shu Xingruo shook his head vigorously, and the vines on his shoulders stopped growing.
"This is the limit... I won't be able to support it if I continue. I have probably detected all the open areas on the second floor and small parts of the third and first floors. Wait for me..."
Following her words, several thin vines came out and twisted around in the air, turning into a three-dimensional map.
"But the location of the star spirit has not been found. This place is indeed in the shape of a flying saucer. There is only so much I can do."
"Thank you for your hard work, the next step is our job." Luo Lin took the three-dimensional map from her hand, studied it carefully, and said, "Since we are not sure, let's go to the big room at the front first. In that case Special, there is always something special.”
"Okay, from now on, everyone should not get separated, and always make sure everyone in the team is there." Lu Ning put out the flashlight, "Save power, and be ready to fight at any time."
Except for Luo Lin and Shi Yi's lights, the other three flashlights were turned off. According to the map, the group began to move forward gropingly.
"They work really hard."
On a small hill not far from Tosu Lake, Pei Xuan was sitting on an off-road vehicle, holding a telescope and looking at the lake.
"visible?"
"I've been down there for almost an hour. If I don't find it, it's time to come out, right?"
Pei Xuan put down the telescope. He actually didn't need this thing at all. He just brought it to save trouble.
Cheng Wuling, who was leaning on the carriage, took a bite of the energy bar and held a tablet in his other hand. On the computer was an image similar to a mini-map in a game, in which the five red highlights were quite eye-catching.
"Cheng Wuling, how many servants have you left in the flying saucer?" Pei Xuan turned his head and shouted down.
"Four, they are second-generation servants."
"Second generation? I remember that your experiment in cultivating second generation servants failed."
"So it's a failure. Even the intelligence is pitifully weak, and the strength can't keep up with those of the previous generation. I just treat it as a consumable. Besides, it's not our problem that they found the flying saucer. We have done what we should do, and we have defended our home base. It’s better to do it on your own.”
"Isn't it our problem?" Pei Xuan grinned. "Every time I leave, I repeat one thing to deepen my impression. I asked Kong Si to reveal the marginal information, deliberately allowed me to send people to attack, and asked Wang Zongxiang to lead the astrology team. The teacher, the key to shielding the outside world, is facing off against one of the strongest combat forces on the other side... Do you dare to say that it's not your problem?"
Cheng Wuling raised his gaze slightly and looked at the roof of the car.
"What is the problem?"
