It turns out that taking a submarine is one of the most miserable ways to travel.
After four hours of sweltering heat, noise, and depression, all members of the "Deep Sea Gate Tour Group" took a break.
No one had the energy to talk, everyone was lying or sitting around, drowsy.
Li Liang opened his collar and kept rubbing his eyebrows. He felt as if his head had turned into a heated pressure cooker, and the Feitian Linggai would collapse at any time.
However, there is one exception.
Cain rested his head on Li Liang's thigh, sleeping with his arms stretched out. The sweat on his face wetted Li Liang's trouser legs. She probably felt too hot, and she often dreamed of unzipping her jumpsuit.
Several times, it was Li Liang who pulled back the zipper for her in time.
Good guy, it's like you're at home, why don't you see anyone outside?
After zipping up Cain's zipper again and covering the lace, Li Liang heard a familiar squeaking sound.
It sounded like...the sound of a walkie-talkie adjusting its band.
Li Liang looked up and saw Someguta sitting on the pipe in the corner, lowering his head to adjust the walkie-talkie in his hand. The walkie-talkie pulled out a wire and connected it to a socket at the top.
Stab, sting, drip, drip, sting~
The electromagnetic noise soon woke up more people.
Yuan Zhen's voice came from the dark corner: "We're almost there."
"Well," Sometani didn't look up and said in a cold voice, "The distance is almost the same. Let's see if we can contact them."
Li Liang realized that "they" should refer to Mesai and the three MOMO gang members who were sent to the Deep Sea Fortress in advance. In order to avoid Xi'an's detection, the method of contact was indeed equally retro.
A walkie-talkie that communicates wirelessly on a fixed frequency band with the help of a submarine's antenna.
Stab it, sting it~
Except for Cain, who was still sleeping, everyone else was silently paying attention to the sound of the intercom.
drop.
Noisy electromagnetic noise disappears.
Sometani put the walkie-talkie to his ear. Then, he was stunned for a moment, quickly checked the frequency band, and put it to his ear again, with a confused expression gradually showing on his face.
Something is wrong.
Li Liang moved Cain's head to the package aside, stood up and walked to Someguta. At the same time, Wang Chao supported Yuan Zhen, and several MOMO gang members also gathered around.
Sometani turned pale and handed the walkie-talkie to Yuan Zhen.
Yuan Zhen put the walkie-talkie to his ear and listened for a moment, then passed it to Li Liang with a suspicious look on his face.
Li Liang picked it up and as soon as he put it to his ear, he heard a strange sound.
Huh~chi~~~~Huh~chi~~~~
If I had to describe it, the sound sounded like a giant bear snoring, or like a manual blower with someone pressing the bellows at a fixed rhythm.
Next, everyone around listened to it.
Everyone looked at each other.
Someone said: "Who is sleeping so soundly?"
Another person snorted and whispered: "Fart, if a person wants to breathe like this, he would be suffocated to death."
Another person said: "Did they leave the walkie-talkie in the air-conditioning vent or something like that?"
Someone immediately retorted: "They rely on walkie-talkies to survive. How could they lose them?"
The nervousness was contagious, and more and more people gathered around, talking and making all kinds of speculations.
Li Liang was silent for a moment, then turned to Wang Chao and said, "Let the submarine shut down the main engine."
Wang Chao nodded, turned around and walked into the control cabin.
After a few minutes, the submarine slowed down significantly and the cabin became quiet.
For a moment.
The sound echoed throughout the sealed cabin.
Huh~chi~~~~Huh~chi~~~~
More details of the sound are revealed. Now it definitely does not sound like it comes from a man-made device, but it does sound very much like the breathing of some kind of creature, with a slightly trembling breath.
Someta frowned and was about to speak when Li Liang suddenly raised his hand and put his finger between his lips to signal everyone to be quiet. He slowly stretched out his hand, pinched the knob that controlled the volume, and turned it all the way up.
The next moment, everyone heard other sounds, some softer background sounds.
The one that sounds slightly closer is Gra~Gela~Gela~~
The more distant thing is the rhythmic da, da da, da da, 咻 咻 ~
Gra~Gela~Gela~
Li Liang looked around at the pale faces. Apparently everyone had realized that it was the sound of a beast chewing its bones...
A scene appears in everyone's mind:
The walkie-talkie fell next to a sleeping beast. A little further away, another beast was tearing and chewing the bones of a human corpse. Even further away, a fierce firefight was taking place.
However, there cannot be any wild beasts on the earth.
Large carnivores are the first animals to become extinct after nuclear war. Moreover, even in the old times, all the beasts on earth combined were not enough to be killed by a team of Xian armed robots.
Li Liang clenched his fists tightly, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and a breath hit his throat.
The person before was right. The walkie-talkie was the key to the rescue of Messi and his party. There was no way they would have lost the walkie-talkie, unless...
died.
Suddenly, the sound of "gra" stopped, and for a moment, a muffled hum came, followed by a chi~chi~ which sounded like blood spurting out from an artery.
Gra~Gela~Gela~
The sound of chewing sounded again, with a juicy squeaking sound.
Everyone's backs were covered with cold sweat. "Being eaten" is a fear engraved in human genes. Tens of thousands of years ago, Homo sapiens living in caves were dominated by this fear and picked up wooden sticks and stone spears.
At this moment, some kind of beast actually wiped out the Xi'an armed forces, which represented the top of human power, allowing people to re-experience the horror at the bottom of the biological chain!
Li Liang grabbed Tata like crazy, pointed at the walkie-talkie, lowered his voice, and asked through gritted teeth: "What is that?"
Tata's pure black eyes kept trembling, obviously thinking about something. Panic gradually showed on her cement-colored face, and she began to mutter.
Li Liang, Yuan Zhen and Somegu Tai put on simultaneous interpreters at the same time.
In an instant, they heard Tata say: "It's impossible, it's impossible, it's impossible for bone beasts to survive in the physical world, it's impossible, rules, these are the rules..."
Yuan Zhen asked in a trembling voice: "What is a bone beast? The expedition team has never reported on a bone beast. Isn't the danger in the spiritual world lies in the rules of physics and murderous and cheating spellcasters?"
However, Tata seemed to be in some kind of huge panic. He was trembling and murmuring: "Have the rules changed? This is impossible. What about the Tower Star? How can the Bone Beast find the entrance to the basic world? Yes, this is impossible, impossible..."
Yuan Zhen and Someya looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes.
Xian's deep sea fortress... fell?
Li Liang lowered his head, his breathing trembling... Messi, are you dead?
Everyone in the dim submarine was speechless.
What exactly is waiting at the crux of their journey...
Suddenly, Cain's voice sounded from outside the crowd:
"It's so noisy, who the hell is snoring!"
In the quiet sealed cabin, her voice seemed extremely "loud". Everyone tensed up and immediately turned their attention to the intercom.
All sounds on the intercom disappeared.
The next moment, a voice was deafening:
"Ho~~"
Like a giant tiger descending from a mountain, like an evil dragon roaring into the sky.
