"Click!"
After Anxi placed the vases, there was a sound at the elevator entrance.
As the elevator door opened, several soaked ghosts ran out.
The panic in their eyes had not subsided, and each of them had weak legs, crawling on the ground and gasping for air.
An Qian saw this and asked, "The tunnel where you are is also cracked?"
"Yes..." One of the ghosts in a floral skirt raised his head and looked at her, "After being attacked by several giant king beetles, the tunnel opened, and a large amount of seawater poured in. We had no choice but to go down, and so did you. ?”
"How many?"
Anxi caught the key words and thought to herself, it turned out that there was not only one giant king beetle, but there were swarms of them. In this way, how long could this accommodation layer last?
"Yes." The ghost in the flower skirt nodded, "I remember there should be three of them, one of them is a female, and there is a brood bag. I'm afraid the eggs are already hatching. I don't know when they will hatch..."
As he spoke, the ghost in the floral skirt didn't know whether it was because of the coldness after being soaked in the sea water or because of fear, but he couldn't help but trembled: "If there are other female giant beetles that are also hatching eggs, after they all hatch... the entire ocean I’m afraid the museum will be occupied by them.”
"Stop talking!" A female ghost with long red hair interrupted the flower skirt.
It must be Hua Kui skirt's companion. Hearing what Hua skirt said, he couldn't help but feel scared. He stopped Hua skirt angrily and cursed at the same time: "It's all your fault that you insist on seeing some marine life. The ticket is so expensive that you don't tell me." After encountering something like this, I don’t know if I can... if I can go back alive!"
The red-haired female ghost said, her whole body trembling, and with a lump in her throat, she couldn't help crying.
The ghost in the floral skirt frowned sadly, put her hand on the shoulder of the red-haired ghost, and conveyed her care with gentle force.
The red-haired ghost softened its attitude, lay in the arms of the flower-skirted ghost, and began to cry.
Seeing the two girls in front of her snuggling together fragilely, Anxi kindly reminded her: "You should find a room to stay first. Just pick the lock and go straight in. No employees will care about this now."
"A guide has just contacted the headquarters. I don't know when the rescue will arrive. While you are waiting, you should change your wet clothes to avoid catching a cold."
"Hmm, okay, thank you for the reminder."
The ghosts in floral skirts thanked An Qian and briefly introduced themselves: "My name is Zelan, and this is my friend Xiaoqi."
"okay, I get it."
Anxi did not reveal her name, and after reminding them, she dragged Wu away.
Before they left, Anxi heard another noise from the elevator, probably another wave of tourists escaping in.
…
Their room is No. 018.
Anxi put the key card on the door lock, and the door lock beeped and opened a gap.
When he opened the door, he saw two single beds. There were bottles of mineral water and biscuits on the table against the wall. There was a small refrigerator next to the table with some fruits and snacks in it.
The configuration of the room is very simple, it should not be a luxury suite, but these are not important. The only thing that makes Anxi care is that there is a small round window on the wall.
The small window is not big, but you can see the outside clearly.
Outside the window was a deep blue that was almost black, but because the lamp placed in the sea illuminated part of it, the scenery outside could still be seen clearly.
Anxi walked to the window and wanted to check the traces of the king footed insects through the window.
She pressed her face tightly against the window, but the scope of her vision was too narrow, and the seabed was not bright enough. No matter how hard she tried, she could not find the shadows of those king-footed insects.
"never mind."
Just when she wanted to take a step back.
A pale and swollen face suddenly appeared in front of her. Anxi was startled and stepped back.
After her drum-beating heartbeat calmed down, she realized that the face was that of a drowned tourist. He had been in the sea for a while and had begun to swell. His skin was so thin that it seemed like it could burst with just a slight poke. Produced a lot of blood.
The appearance of one corpse was just the beginning. More and more corpses sank and floated in the sea, like the sea was filled with white and swollen water plants.
Anxi couldn't imagine how many tourists had drowned in this sea.
She put her hands on the chain that pulled the window blinds, and just as she was about to cover the window, she caught a glimpse of a large king-footed insect swimming slowly above the corpse.
It swung its tentacles, wrapped its limbs tightly around the floating corpse, and locked the corpse in its arms.
Anxi originally thought it was going to eat the corpse. After all, this sea creature is carnivorous and often eats the corpses of other sea creatures.
But what I didn't expect was that the king-legged insect just locked the body and swam deeper into the ocean.
What? Where is it going?
Anxi lay back on the window again and watched the giant king bug swimming deeper and deeper. Not only it, but the king bugs she saw next all behaved the same way, locking the body with its limbs and swimming towards the bottom of the sea.
It was as if there was something under the sea waiting for them to feed.
And they should be very afraid of that thing. Not a single giant king beetle was seen stealing it. They were all very pious and swam towards the bottom of the sea as if they were paying tribute.
What's under the sea must be terrifying.
Seeing the strange yet uniform behavior of the King Parapod, an idea came to Anxi's mind.
If the thing at the bottom of the sea that can control the giant king beetle to pay tribute to food wakes up, even her reinforced walls will not be able to hold up, and everyone will die in this sea.
Anxi felt as if a stone had been pressed against her heart, and she was endlessly annoyed. The more worried she became, the more her eyes couldn't leave the giant footed insect outside the window.
Until there was a slight knock on the door.
Anxi came back to her senses and turned to look at the door. She and Wu, who had been staying quietly next to her, looked at each other. Wu understood the idea, walked to the door and looked outside through the peephole, then turned around and told Anxi: "It was the commentator just now."
"Then open the door." Anxi replied.
Wu opened the door. The expression on Lisa's face was very tangled, half happy and half sad. When she saw the door was opened, she sighed and said: "I have just contacted the headquarters, and they said they would come to rescue, but... …”
"But what?" Anxi felt that Lisa's next words must be unpleasant.
"But they said that there are too many king beetles around here, and they can't come down for a while, so they have to let us... wait here."
