Immediately afterwards, the air flow swirled, as if some force had sucked away the air, and there was a feeling of suffocation. A strong wind blew out of thin air, flying away all the insect excrement on the "island", and those tentacles seemed to be in the strong wind. They were flying everywhere like willow branches, and they were completely unable to attack Ling Hao and the others. The latter inserted the weapon into the ground to fix the body, and lay down on his back, close to the ground, to minimize the area affected by the strong wind. After about ten minutes, the storm stopped suddenly, and all the tentacles quickly retracted into the water, like It seemed like he was frightened.
Ling Hao and the others were blown away by the wind, as if they were in another world. They only heard the "buzzing" sound of the engine. Ling Hao shook his head, and then his eyes could focus. A black thing flew from the sky. , hovering above their heads.
"It's a drone! They're coming to save us!" Ling Hao heard Xueting's crying cry. No, this is a four-rotor drone with a camera underneath.
With a "plop", another huge thing was thrown down from the sky. Although it was carrying a parachute, it still made a huge splash when it entered the water. The inflatable floating mat slowly grew in size, like a big jar. The thing surfaced, and it turned out to be a decompression chamber.
Ling Hao understood everything. The hole was blown open again, and this time it was opened wider than last time. The pressure difference between the upper and lower spaces immediately caused a storm, and the air quickly spurted upwards, which caused their breathing to be short-lived. Although the "Andean Alonso protozoa" is said to be immortal, it is sensitive to pressure and oxygen content and quickly retracted its tentacles. The rescuers also had enough anticipation of the following situation, so they installed a decompression chamber with floating cushions and parachutes and pushed it down. After all, the space where Ling Hao and the others were in was still in the process of rapid decompression. If If they do not enter the decompression chamber as soon as possible and decompress slowly, they may suffer from severe decompression sickness due to rapid decompression.
"Hurry, we need to enter the decompression chamber as soon as possible, otherwise our lives will be in danger!" Ling Hao cheered up and greeted the others, without thinking about what would happen to the protozoan tentacles in the water, he just went crazy. Jump into the lake. Ling Hao grabbed Tian Yong and Xueting, while Shui Lingxing followed behind holding a bronze can and several people's diving bags. The two of them swam faster than a fish and rushed towards the decompression chamber like flying.
Sure enough, behind them, countless tentacles were rolling in the water, approaching like a mudslide. They were getting closer and closer, and they were about to catch up with the water spirit star.
"I still have two grenades in my carry-on bag!" Xueting looked at the piles of tentacles rolling like an avalanche behind Shui Lingxing. The hair on her body stood up when she saw that Shui Lingxing was still carrying everyone's carry-on grenades. Bag, suddenly remembered that there was a big killer weapon left by Natasha in it. She originally planned to use this thing as a "glory bomb" not long ago.
How could Shui Lingxing hesitate? He put the carrying bag around his neck, reached out and took out two grenades, bit off the tabs with his mouth, and threw them back.
With two "booms", water jets mixed with many broken tentacles shot up six to seven meters high. With this moment of delay, Ling Hao and the others successfully got into the decompression chamber and locked the sealed door. They are not worried at all that the door will be opened by protozoa. The sealed door of the decompression chamber is very complicated. If an ordinary person does not understand it, he may not be able to open it even if he is given half an hour, let alone a lower creature. They are not worried that those tentacles will pull the decompression chamber to the bottom of the water. There are 15 cubic meters of compressed gas in the entire decompression chamber, and there will be more gas in the floating ball outside. Ling Hao cannot calculate if they want to pull them all down to the bottom of the water. How much strength is needed, but he has experience, and the strength required is far beyond people's imagination. Moreover, as a high-pressure device, the decompression chamber has an extremely strong structure. Let alone the "Andean Alonso protozoa", even if the dinosaurs come, they will never be able to open this safe-like can.
Ling Hao and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were safe after entering the decompression chamber. Xueting skillfully operated the internal electronic equipment and started to set the decompression program. Tian Yong had already opened the refrigerator and started rummaging through the food.
The LCD monitor on the operating table suddenly lit up. The first thing that appeared in front of Ling Hao's eyes was Zhu Xin's crying face. You could see that there was Shi Si behind her, who was crying so much that his nose was filled with snot.
"Ling Hao... Ling Hao! Are you okay?" In Ling Hao's eyes, Zhu Xin had never been so out of control like today.
Ling Hao felt that his nose was a little sore, and he forced a smile and said: "It's okay, I can survive anywhere. Besides, Tian Yong and Xueting are with me, what can happen?"
"You said it's okay. It's been less than a month, and you look like you're almost losing weight." As he said that, Zhu Xin started crying again.
Before Ling Hao could answer, Shi Si finally squeezed Zhu Xin away and came to the screen. His eyes were swollen like peaches, and he could no longer care about his ladylike image. His nose almost flowed into his mouth: "Brother, are you okay?" It scared me to death, I thought I would never see you again."
Ling Hao was amused by this girl: "Don't cry, wipe your nose, aren't we all fine? Tell me, where did you get such great ability to blow such a big hole underwater? ?”
Shi Si blew his nose, then smiled and said: "What's under the water? The lake has basically leaked out. Now the bottom of the lake is a muddy swamp. It's all thanks to Annie, Sister Zhuxin personally called her for help. The eldest daughter of the Rothschild family is different. She directly transports equipment to and from private jets, even aerodynamic boats. In fact, yesterday we drilled a hole with a diameter of 20 centimeters. The pressure difference made the hole sound like a blow. The flute kept ringing. Only then did everyone react. They brought over a decompression chamber, modified the generator into the decompression chamber, and made the entire body waterproof. Yuan Bing and Pengfei worked non-stop. It took more than ten hours of work to modify the decompression chamber, and it was tested with chickens and ducks to ensure safety. Anne's team of bodyguards are very tough, and I don't know how they obtained the nitroglycerin. , as soon as the decompression chamber was completed, those bodyguards began to blast, directly blowing up a big hole that could throw the decompression chamber down."
Ling Hao couldn't help but feel a little touched. He had always kept a distance from Annie, but this young lady was really interested in him. Ling Hao didn't believe that any bodyguard could do the job of precise directional blasting. She was 100%. Hiring mercenaries, being able to integrate manpower, equipment, and even nitroglycerine in such a short period of time, and then transport them into the depths of the desert, how much money, connections and resources would it cost, Ling Haoguang thought about it They all feel dizzy. There are probably not many people in the world who can do this. I feel I owe you a big favor this time.
Ling Hao laughed twice and said, "Thanks to Annie this time, why didn't I see her?"
At this moment, Zhuxin's mood had returned to calm. She glanced at Ling Hao teasingly and said, "This time I owe a big favor, what should I do? Will the debt be repaid with flesh? Think about it for yourself. It's a big mess outside now, the weather It was extremely abnormal. The wind was surging and the rain was pouring. It was pitch dark as if day and night were reversed. There were also sounds of howling ghosts and wolves in the darkness. The archaeological team’s colored steel plate house was blown all over the sky by the strong wind. People from the Russian and British archaeological teams They all drove away and couldn't be stopped. Professor Yu originally wanted to withdraw, but I held him back. Master Longlite said that this time it penetrated two layers of underground space, and the earth energy surged up, disturbing the earth's magnetic field. , and also breaks the stability of space. Not only will the climate be abnormal and extreme weather occur, but once the space is distorted and things from other dimensions come into this world, the world will be in chaos."
Ling Hao looked confused. He was stunned for a long time before suddenly shouting: "What the hell is this?!" He had been frightened and forgotten about returning Annie's favor. It seemed that an extremely bad natural disaster was going on outside. Not to mention this, why is Master Longlit coming here to join in the fun? What's going on in the alien space? What will come out of the alien space? Ling Hao felt like he had gotten into some trouble this time. It was all because of the unreliability of these grandsons. Uncle Liang was also an old fool. It was a big loss for him to accept such a bullshit job. He almost lost his life here. If I don’t say anything, I’m afraid I’ll have to stay to wipe my butt. The more Ling Hao thought about it, the angrier he became. He frowned and asked, "What is Master Longlit doing here? Hasn't he been taking care of my dad? Is there anything in this desert that he is interested in?"
Zhuxin shook his head and said: "I don't know about that. Anyway, he came with Annie on his own initiative. Now he is still studying those lugworms and rhinoceros shrimps in the mud. Annie is outside, organizing a large team of people to bring the necessary Some equipment was reinforced, and then the personnel evacuated to the underground level to avoid the bad weather."
Ling Hao seemed to have realized something, and suddenly said eagerly: "I think something big may happen. There must be no pressure difference between the first underground floor and the second underground floor now, right? We can't wait until we finish depressurizing the second underground floor. , if possible, hoist the decompression chamber up, and then seal the hole. Things that should not see the light of day should never be allowed to see the light of day, otherwise God will punish you."
"Oh, I'll contact Annie and tell her." Although Zhuxin implemented Ling Hao's decision, she still couldn't hide the look of confusion on her face. She also felt that it would be safer to drag Ling Hao and the others to the "basement level" as soon as possible. As for the rush to seal the hole and prevent anything from seeing the light, she couldn't understand it. After all, she didn't see the huge "Andean Alonso protozoa" below.
After the communication ended, the people above went to arrange how to hoist the decompression chamber up, but the three people in the decompression chamber had only one word left, and that was "eat". Various microwave-heated delicacies and one of the greatest inventions of mankind in the 20th century - the mythical "instant noodles", were so delicious that the three of them had tears in their eyes. After each of them finished two servings of rice bowls and two buckets of instant noodles, the three of them finally rested and rubbed their bellies with satisfaction. All of them had heavy eyelids and were drowsy.
Suddenly, there was a violent shaking in the decompression chamber, which alerted the three of them. Ling Hao was the first to go to the porthole and look out. There was no sling coming down from above. Obviously, it would not be that fast to lift them up. Just looking for two A steel cable more than 100 meters long is not a simple matter. So needless to say who is ready to move, tentacles stretch out from the lake water, wrapping the decompression chamber almost like a cocoon. The tips of the tentacles do not give up any gap, trying every means to try to wrap up this "iron can" "Open it, but it is impossible to succeed. The sealing requirements of the decompression chamber are so high. How can it be easily opened by an inferior creature?"
Those tentacles became anxious and squirmed faster and faster, tightly wrapping the decompression chamber. "Boss, this guy seems to be trying to pull us underwater. Does it want to explode the decompression chamber with water pressure?" Tian Yong asked.
"It's a good idea. Only when it's three times its current size will there be any possibility. Don't worry about it, just let it go. It's useless." Ling Hao curled his lips and lay aside to rest.
"No, these tentacles are different from before. They are much thinner and gray in color." Xueting said suddenly as she stared out the window.
Ling Hao pondered for a moment and said: "Eighty percent of it is because the ground pressure has dropped, and the protozoa are not adapted to this environment. Maybe these so-called 'undead protozoa' will die from the drastic changes in their living environment."
As soon as Ling Hao finished speaking, all the tentacles seemed to have exhausted their strength, and they all limply released the decompression chamber. The "small island" appeared in front of everyone, just like a lung struggling to breathe. , undulating violently, with a "pop" sound, a white jade coffin was sprayed out, and hit heavily on the inflatable floating cushion outside the decompression chamber, followed by the "Bronze Jian" was also sprayed out, just in time to buckle On the top of the decompression chamber, it was as if this guy was deliberately using these things as projectiles to hit them. Ling Hao and the others began to panic. There was only a white jade coffin and a bronze mirror. There was also a larger white jade slab. If that thing hit the decompression chamber, if there was even a little air leakage, the three of them would be dead. I'm afraid it's going to be over.
At this moment, a violent explosion sounded. Judging from the flames of the explosion, it was known that it was "nitrifying explosives". A thick steel cable slowly hung down with several hooks, and several giants were hung on it. Big guy, wearing desert camouflage, everyone is murderous, all foreigners. They jumped onto the decompression chamber, neatly hung the hooks on the steel cables around the decompression chamber, then raised their hands to shoot a flare, the mechanical winch above turned, and the decompression chamber was hoisted up, rising smoothly. .
The "Andean Alonso protozoa" didn't seem to want to give up yet. More than a dozen tentacles climbed onto the decompression chamber again. The big men took off the "shotguns" from their backs and shot at these tentacles at random. At close range, The "shotgun" is an artifact of killing. Blood splattered and the tentacles were interrupted. Ling Hao and the others finally managed to escape from the desperate situation.
After ascending for more than ten minutes, the decompression cabin stumbled through the large hole that had been blasted, and finally returned to the "underground level". There were high-brightness lights everywhere, hovercrafts with cranes, and swamps. Vehicles, aerodynamic boats and other machinery gathered in a circle. Some people were welding huge steel plates, and others were controlling drones to load explosives on top of the rocks. It looked like a busy scene.
It looks like it's raining heavily outside, and water has begun to pour in here. A series of gurgling rivers are coming together. It is estimated that this place will become a lake again in less than a day.
On the communication screen, Annie looked at Ling Hao with a sullen look on her face, and the latter just smiled sarcastically.
"It's okay if you don't take me with you when you go out to do a mission. You don't even want to inform me. Are you afraid that I will hold you back and get in your way? If I hadn't saved you this time, you would have been treated as an unearthed cultural relic. Come on!" Anne was unforgiving and spoke rudely.
"Anyway, I seriously underestimated the difficulty this time. I thought it was a very simple job. I didn't tell you because I didn't want to delay the company's new product launch. Fortunately, you didn't follow. If you were buried underneath, Who else has the ability to rescue us? It seems that you are more suitable to strategize from the rear and provide support at critical moments." Ling Hao quibbled with a playful smile. "Don't be angry. You can scold me again when you get back. The top priority now is to completely seal the 'underground second floor'. It's best to bury the 'underground first floor' as well, otherwise God knows what trouble will happen outside."
"You don't need to tell me this, we are going to evacuate right now." Annie rolled her eyes at him and terminated the call, leaving Ling Hao with an embarrassed look on the screen.
