Deep Sea Survival: Start a Submarine

Chapter 69: Abandoned Outpost

"Sharp Ice Rock?"

Dandan's dark golden text, like some kind of strange life form, twisted and wriggled and jumped in front of him.

After seeing these three unfamiliar words, Meng Lei frowned slightly.

This is the situation in front of me.

He always felt as if he had heard it somewhere, and it felt a little deja vu.

But if you think about it carefully, you can't remember it, it's very strange.

For the time being, put this feeling in the bottom of your heart and keep watching.

(1845 meters ahead, a sharp ice rock was found.

This is a strange substance commonly found in the alien abyss. Its molecular structure is still water, but it contains certain trace elements, making it much denser than seawater, and extremely hard, like a rock.

This trace element is normally fixed, but it also has great instability.

Too many trace elements will increase the overall density of the ice body, and it will be completely rooted in the seabed, like a mountain.

Too little trace elements will reduce the overall density of the ice, making it suspended in the sea and drifting with ocean currents.

This kind of unstable and exotic matter generally exists in the deep waters of 3,000 to 20,000 meters.

However, the scientific research advance team in the deep area had also found traces of it in the abyss of death at a depth of 35,000 kilometers.

The reason for the formation of the sharp ice rock is currently unknown.

The existence of this strange substance brings serious safety hazards to daily navigation.

but.

Depending on the thickness of the ice layer, it is possible to break through the ice under normal circumstances, but if you encounter an ice layer with a thickness of more than 50 meters, it is recommended to take a detour. )

The large-scale introduction made Meng Lei realize.

This so-called sharp ice rock is likely to be something extremely important in the future, or something that cannot be ignored.

Otherwise, Goldfinger would not be so serious and give such detailed prompt information.

In addition, after seeing the word detour.

Meng Leimeng recalled what happened to the strange familiarity before.

This morning, in a series of information that Ning Wen reported to him.

has been mentioned.

There are other players who encountered a huge transparent obstacle in the sea.

Indistinguishable to the naked eye, like ice cubes in the sea, large enough to block some narrow waterways.

At that time, the player was helpless when faced with this situation.

finally.

Just detour.

Before Meng Lei was curious, what exactly was the ice cube that the player encountered.

Now it seems that Bacheng is the so-called sharp ice rock.

"Is the ice structure that is denser than sea water and as hard as a rock, so familiar?"

Meng Lei scratched his head suspiciously.

Immediately, he remembered something and suddenly widened his eyes.

"I'm going! The ice layer is collapsing?! The two-kilometer-thick ice layer on the surface of the ocean, shouldn't it be this kind of thing?!"

After crossing into this alien ocean.

The first survival goal given by the system is to reach the outpost gathering place as much as possible before the ice layer collapses.

Limited time of seven days.

Meng Lei had never understood it before.

In his view, the collapse of the ice layer may trigger other chain reactions and cause certain disasters.

The disaster itself was not brought about by the ice.

Because from a physical point of view, it is impossible for those ice cubes to fall into the deep sea two or three thousand meters deep.

But now it seems that he is still a little immature.

If the so-called ice layer is this kind of sharp ice rock whose density is much greater than that of sea water.

When disaster strikes, it's really terrifying to think about.

A two-kilometer-thick rock formation fell down, not to mention that all players had to be buried alive, even marine creatures had to be smashed to death in large numbers!

Thinking of this, Meng Lei suddenly shuddered.

I feel more and more that in this alien ocean, there are too many things that cannot be figured out.

It was full of hardships along the way, it was simply hopeless!

Thinking room.

The fleet was getting closer and closer to the ice wall that blocked the entire channel.

at this time.

The sonar displays of Ning Wen and Wang Qi also began to receive green sonar feedback signals from the ice wall.

Suddenly, two people's exclamations came from the earphones.

"This... what is this thing? Why is it so big?!"

"Is there a wall in front of us? Obviously there is no way, how could the navigation system bring us here?"

The two were a little confused.

Even if I received a reminder from Meng Lei and Huo Ye in advance, it would be unbelievable.

"Don't panic!"

Meng Lei snorted in a low voice and said in a serious tone:

"I was on a sunken ship before, and I seem to have seen records of something like this. It's not a big problem."

As long as the information prompted by the golden finger, everything will be pushed to the sinking ship.

A wreck carrying an encyclopedia of alien oceans, able to rationalize everything.

Anyway, no one can turn around and go back to collect evidence. Meng Lei can make up whatever he wants.

"Commander Meng, what the **** is this?"

Ning Wen couldn't bear his temper and asked anxiously.

"A kind of ice rock, like ice but not ice, should theoretically be shatterable."

Meng Lei simply popularized science for everyone.

"This kind of thing has an unstable density, sometimes very light and sometimes very heavy, it can sink to the bottom of the sea and it can float in the sea.

If you encounter it again in the future, you can shoot a few shots to try the thickness, and generally it can be broken.

But if the thickness is too large, don't waste ammunition, just take a detour. "

These crew members dug from the Kyushu Fleet may become the backbone of the Chongming Fleet in the future.

Let them know more about the intelligence, whether it is for themselves or for the future development of the fleet, there are certain benefits.

Therefore, Meng Lei did not hide his secrets, and gave them all the money.

As soon as the voice fell, there was a sudden breath of cold air from the earphones.

No one would have thought that such a strange thing could exist in this sea.

"Commander Meng, what should we do now? Is it a detour, or..."

Wang Qi's voice sounded.

Then, another voice came again.

"With such a large ice wall blocking this, is there any danger ahead, and the system is intentionally preventing us from moving forward?

Otherwise, let's take a detour..."

This voice was relatively unfamiliar, and his words were a little cowardly. It was one of the two survivors who woke up later.

Meng Lei shook his head and said solemnly:

"Go over first, shoot a few shots and try again, and try not to detour unless it is a last resort."

joke.

This long and narrow rock tunnel, at least they have walked more than ten kilometers.

At this time, turn around and turn back, and go back to re-plan the route.

Too much time wasted!

It was difficult to make up for the voyage that came over, and I had to take a few hours in for nothing.

Besides, Meng Lei didn't think the system was so kind.

If you don't put all people to death in the sea, it will already burn a high incense. How can you kindly remind players to avoid danger?

To say what treasures are ahead, the system deliberately does not want players to hunt for treasures.

It is estimated that this is more likely.

In short, an ice wall wants Meng Lei to give up?

That is absolutely impossible!

In the process of everyone's discussion, the distance of two kilometers passed quickly.

Sonar displays on an imaginary 3D topographic map.

The green obstacles that represent the ice wall are extremely vast in front of them, blocking the road ahead.

The entire fleet hovered in front of this ice wall, looking extremely small.

There is a faint illusion of driving in a tunnel built by an ancient giant, about to open the gate to an unknown area.

At this time, the Guixu number walking at the front of the queue.

The distance from the ice wall was only about 30 meters.

Meng Lei stopped the fleet and turned on the searchlight to shine forward.

The pale light that was enough to penetrate the darkness of forty meters tore apart the black screen in front of him.

At the end of the beam beam, there is an obvious reflection phenomenon.

It is as if a flashlight shines on the ice wall, the light can penetrate the ice wall, but it will be refracted.

Ning Wen and the others were a little farther away, and they could also see the searchlight of his submarine, the light source reflected on the ice surface.

only.

The ice wall in front of you is obviously clearer than ordinary ice, almost like a mirror.

Even if you look close.

It is also difficult to judge with the naked eye, what is the difference from the surrounding environment.

If there is no prompt from the sonar detector, it will undoubtedly hit it head-on.

"Commander Meng, ahead... what's the situation now?"

It was the cowardly voice that asked about Meng Lei's condition.

Meng Lei didn't speak, and drove the submarine cautiously close to the ice wall for a few minutes.

At this time.

The light of the submarine searchlight, after passing through the ice wall for a distance, has again changed significantly.

Meng Lei kept adjusting the angle of the searchlight and lit it in every area around him.

He found that from the angle and distance of light refraction.

The thickness of this ice wall is actually not very thick, only about two or three meters.

For ordinary people, it may be enough to be far behind.

But looking at the overall area of ​​the ice wall, this thickness is almost the same as that of the paper lake.

With the power of the ship's battery, it should be able to penetrate.

It's just that it may take a lot of ammo to waste.

After pondering for a while, Meng Lei decisively ordered the crowd:

"Everyone floated up and got close to the top rock formation!"

"Yes!"

The crowd clapped.

Then they drove the submarine and floated up to the top of the entire tunnel.

Meng Lei was mainly worried that once the ice wall was damaged, it would cause a large area of ​​collapse.

Under the action of ocean currents, the fragmented ice blocks hit any part of the submarine.

may cause safety hazards.

In particular, the front porthole is the weakest part of the entire submarine.

In case of being smashed, your life may be lost in an instant!

So, for the sake of safety, it is better to stand a little higher.

Immediately after everyone reached a safe location.

Meng Lei straightened up, put his entire face on the observation hole of the periscope, and said to Huo Ye:

"Old Huo, follow me to fire from the side, where I hit you, focus on one spot, and destroy the ice wall! Tell me when you're ready!"

"Yes!"

Huo Ye answered the command and answered very succinctly.

The control method of the ship's turret is not complicated.

After some simple exploration, Huo Ye quickly figured out how to operate.

"Commander, get ready!"

Huo Ye's report came from the headphones.

Meng Lei did not delay any longer, and immediately shouted:

"Fire!"

As soon as this word comes out.

all of a sudden.

In the dark undersea tunnel, two dazzling flames flashed immediately.

The two ship-borne artillery turrets fired frantically toward the oblique front at a forty-five-degree side-fire angle.

Deep in the rock formations that had been silent for many years, a low rumbling sound suddenly came.

One after another, the 30mm caliber shells roared wildly.

At a speed that is indistinguishable to the naked eye, he slammed into the solid ice wall, and in less than two seconds, he finished his short and brilliant life.

Countless crystal clear ice slag, in the roar of the fort, reflected the searchlight and scattered all over the sky.

Glittering in the dark, with the flow of water drifting into the air.

The entire ice wall then began to tremble, making a huge cracking sound that echoed throughout the tunnel.

Tremors in all directions, heart-wrenching season.

After nearly twenty seconds, the full box of ammo was more than half consumed.

During this period of time, hundreds of shells were poured out of the two ship-based artillery batteries!

A large number of ice cubes shattered into powder, and the surrounding sea area was completely shrouded in endless ice fog, and nothing could be seen in front of him, it was a vast expanse of white.

"stop!"

At this time, Meng Lei called out the ceasefire order at the right time.

The roaring of the two ship-based artillery turrets that were frantically roaring stopped abruptly.

He wanted to see how much effect the nearly half-minute firepower attack could have.

After a while, the drifting ice mist was dispersed by the water.

The vision gradually became clearer.

The light is on and it can be clearly seen.

At the top of the ice wall, where the rock formation bordered, a huge gap was blasted out at this moment.

A terrifying crack in the ice crevice spreads wildly downward from the gap, as if torn scars, all the way deep into the darkness.

"The effect...it seems to be good?"

Meng Lei was overjoyed.

Not a single box of ammunition was finished, and the entire nearby ice wall seemed to have been severely damaged by the violent fire, and there were signs that it was about to shatter.

It seems that the road to breaking the ice with force should be feasible.

At the moment, Meng Lei did not hesitate and shouted at Huo Ye:

"Old Huo, go ahead! Don't worry about wasting ammunition, and dry this ice wall in one go!"

"it is good!"

As soon as the voice fell, the two joined hands again.

The Guixu and Shenlong trembled at the same time, and a new round of concentrated firepower began.

The kacha sound of ice breaking is getting louder and louder.

Ning Wen and the others hid behind, only to feel that the entire tunnel was about to collapse, and his face turned pale.

But Meng Lei and Huo Ye seemed to turn a deaf ear, raising their firepower to the limit.

Aiming at the gap in the ice wall that had already achieved initial results, he launched a frantic bombardment.

Half a minute later, a box of ammunition was completely emptied.

When the ice fog dissipated, a large dark hole appeared abruptly at the top of the ice wall.

The complex vertical and horizontal cracks like cobwebs are densely scattered all around, and it looks extremely spectacular!

However, in the deepest part of that gap.

Nearly one-third of the ice is still not penetrated, which is enough to see how terrifying the hardness of this sharp ice rock.

"Old Huo, fill up the ammunition and keep working!"

With victory in sight, Meng Lei did not dare to relax.

Immediately pick up the empty ammo box and refill it through the crafting stand.

Then, another round of bombardment began.

Finally, when the second box of ammunition was consumed to nearly 30%.

The only remaining part of the ice layer was completely penetrated by the shell.

Suddenly, a fierce surging sea current whistled through the gap in the ice wall, blowing away the surrounding ice fog and ice crystals in an instant.

Countless ice crystals swept wildly around.

The tiny ice **** hit everyone's submarine hull and the porthole glass, making a crackling sound.

It seemed that a large number of stones had fallen, and it was like sitting in the car on a rainy day, with the sound of rainstorm pouring outside the window, which made people extremely flustered.

Fortunately, this wave of crushed ice impacts did not last for too long.

The ice fog floating around was quickly blown away by the ocean currents.

But the entire ice wall nearby seemed to be shaky as the gap opened.

The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in the ant's nest.

Meng Lei did not dare to stay here for a long time, and immediately shouted at the crowd:

"Quick! Rush as fast as you can, and follow me!"

With that said, Meng Lei immediately controlled the submarine, raised the speed to the limit, and headed into the gap in the broken ice wall.

The violent ocean currents surged wildly, causing great resistance to progress!

Under the impact of the current, the Guixu was like a small boat in the sea, and the hull swayed uncontrollably.

Several times, they slammed into the hard ice wall next to them.

Meng Lei gritted his teeth and tried his best to control the submarine to stabilize his body. He was always at the forefront of the team, trying to remove a certain amount of water resistance for the others.

Huo Ye followed closely behind, firmly following the pace of Guixuhao, breaking the water for everyone.

A passage as short as two or three meters long.

It took nearly a minute for the four submarines to finally charge past without any risk.

period.

With the weak kinetic energy of the initial wasteland boat, under the impact of the current, it was almost completely in a relatively static state.

Even if the power is raised to the limit, it is almost like a turtle crawling.

The most difficult one was Meng Lei.

Walked in the number one position, fully withstanding all the shocks.

The erratic frantic swings and the uncontrollable slams almost knocked his brains out.

Thanks to the submarine hull and structure of the Guixu, he was raised to the limit of the current stage.

if not.

He really didn't know if this continuous impact would directly knock the entire submarine to pieces.

The point is, driving a submarine is not like driving a car.

After issuing an operation command, it is impossible for the submarine to give an instant feedback, but a certain delay.

In such an operating environment, it is hard against ocean currents through narrow ice-walled tunnels.

The difficulty can be imagined.

Fortunately, in the end, I finally passed through without any risk.

But even at this time, Meng Lei didn't dare to relax his vigilance. He continued to instruct everyone through the headset to leave this sea as soon as possible.

Just as the crowd had just left, they reached an area where the water flow was relatively gentle.

Suddenly, a series of cracking sounds of Kacha came from behind.

The sound was extremely huge, echoing in the rock tunnel with limited space, and it was extremely shocking.

Meng Lei didn't dare to look back and urged everyone to speed up.

At this time, it can be clearly seen on the virtual map of the sonar display.

A section of the huge ice wall that traverses the tunnel suddenly burst open!

Subsequently, the entire ice wall began to gradually collapse from it.

Driven by the ocean currents, countless broken small ice cubes turned into meteors, rushing wildly into the distance.

A few minutes ago it was a complete wall of ice.

As the collapse phenomenon continued to spread, it slowly began to collapse in a large area.

When Meng Lei and the others approached the edge of the two-kilometer range.

Nearly one-fifth of the ice wall collapsed as a whole, leaving one huge black gap after another.

Seeing this, everyone was afraid for a while.

At that time, they would not have been able to leave in time.

Even if they were not buried on the spot, they would have to be smashed to pieces by densely packed ice cubes.

"I'm going! What the **** is this! It's so exciting!"

Ning Wen took a deep breath and shivered and expressed his first opinion.

I don't know if I was scared or excited.

"It's too dangerous. This situation is not something that can be dealt with by personnel at this stage. Obviously, this channel was not intended for people to pass through from the beginning!"

Wang Qi's voice was a little low and seemed extremely solemn.

Huo Ye rarely calmed down, and said with some fear:

"Pharaoh is right, this channel should not be intended for players at this stage to pass!

If it was a lone wolf, the firepower would not be enough to break through the ice wall.

And if it is a fleet, even if the way out is barely opened, there will be huge casualties!

Thankfully we drove four submarines.

If it was a team of the size before the Kyushu Fleet, once it was too late to pass quickly, at least half of the people would be buried alive!

Simply insane! "

Meng Lei silently listened to a few people communicating there, and nodded involuntarily.

What Huo Ye said was right.

The existence of this sharp ice rock wall, from the current situation, does seem to prevent the player from moving forward.

Other circumstances aside, the average person encounters barriers of this magnitude.

After finding that no entrance can be found, it is estimated that they will turn around and leave immediately.

Even if there is that stunned young man who does not believe in evil, he tries to penetrate the ice wall.

But when a lot of ammunition is consumed, it is found that the effect is very small, and I am afraid that it will not be wasted easily.

Players like them who are willing to pay no attention to consumption are, after all, a minority.

Even if there are, most of them are fleet organizations.

Not to mention which fleet is so arrogant, willing to penetrate the ice wall.

Even if it is penetrated, the subsequent collapse will cause the fleet to suffer huge losses.

so.

It is hard not to doubt the true intentions of the system.

Of course, it is not ruled out that they did point their backs, and they encountered this piece of sharp ice rock so unfortunately.

Because Goldfinger said that this strange substance generally exists in the sea at a depth of 3,000 to 20,000 meters.

The location where they are now is only more than 2,800 meters away.

It's bad luck to encounter something that doesn't belong to this depth at this depth.

"Okay, let's move on."

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Meng Lei said in the communicator:

"Everyone, be careful next, no matter what you see or hear, let me know as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

"Good commander!"

The voice of the crowd came from the earphones.

Meng Lei also sat in the driver's seat and turned his attention to the sonar display on the side.

In the entire fleet, the two submarines Guixu and Shenlong have upgraded their sonar systems to the top.

The detection range is up to two kilometers.

It's not that Meng Lei is stingy and doesn't want to upgrade other submarines.

One is not necessary, and the other is to play a role of restraint and balance.

Otherwise, everyone in the team is a full-class submarine.

The flagship doesn't have any advantages, just rely on one mouth to restrain others.

There is really no way to give you a posthumous title.

What should be weakened has to be weakened appropriately.

When the fleet system is almost formed, we can consider the issue of everyone under his command going hand in hand.

Time, minute by minute in the boring voyage.

This rock tunnel seems to have no end, and it has been continuously extending into the distance.

An hour passed and no boundaries were seen at all.

Do the math.

From the time they entered the tunnel to the present, they had run a distance of more than 40 kilometers.

There is only half of the way to the outpost gathering place.

The surrounding scene has not changed at all.

The passage also seems to be endless, with no exit in sight.

This is not the same as the tunnel that Meng Lei encountered when he first passed through the alien anglerfish.

In that tunnel, there are dense holes extending in all directions.

Although it is not known where it leads, it can at least prove that the rock formations have been changing.

And now this is the case.

As if driving on a tunnel road inside a mountain, the scenery remains the same.

It is inexplicable that there is a sense of sight that is caught in an infinite loop.

Very weird.

Fortunately, along the way, there is no danger.

Not to mention the danger, not even a single fish was encountered on the road.

The upper and lower squares are completely bare bare rocks, and there is no plant growth, which is extremely desolate.

In such an environment, the rest of the fleet lost their interest in chatting.

Can only dive silently in the communication channel, peeping the screen boringly.

but.

During this period, Meng Lei made two more deals.

One is the invitation of new customers, and the other is the addition of thirty sets of equipment to the Winter Fleet.

From a quantitative point of view, the scale of the Winter Fleet has to be expanded to at least forty people.

If the Kyushu Fleet is still there, I am afraid that the scale will not be any worse than the Winter Fleet, or even higher.

But now...

It is estimated that in the entire waterway, the Winter Fleet should be called the leader.

However, Meng Lei was not in a hurry.

The development of Chongming's fleet is not temporary.

The further back you go, the more concentrated the players are, and the more convenient it is to expand the fleet.

At this time, he wasted a lot of time. After reporting the coordinates, he waited for people to gather, and then he could wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

Besides, even if you recruit people, you have to get out of this tunnel first.

Otherwise, people will not find such a strange place.

Go deeper.

The time soon came to nine o'clock in the evening.

During the period, Meng Lei stopped the fleet and ate the rest of the food separately.

To the three people who were still in a coma, they each poured some water to add some water.

These guys don't know when they will wake up.

If he went into such a daze, he would have to die on the ship in two days, which would be really bad.

But there is no way, at this time, where to find a doctor for them and get liquid food.

We can only take one step at a time, and then we will talk about it.

After dinner, everyone returned to their respective boats.

Meng Lei took off his jacket and simply did some exercise.

At about half past nine, Huo Ye's voice suddenly came from everyone's earphones:

"Meng... Commander Meng, there is a situation, there is a situation ahead!"

For a few hours, everything has been peaceful, and everyone is used to this kind of Jingyi.

Huo Ye's sudden voice suddenly startled everyone.

In particular, his voice sounded a little eager and a little shocked.

Even the tone has changed!

Hearing this, Meng Lei didn't even care about getting dressed.

Wearing a pair of pants, while running to the driver's seat, he asked:

"What's the matter, tell me slowly, what's the situation?"

"There's something! There's something ahead!"

The obvious sound of inhalation came, and Huo Ye shouted with a trembling voice:

"There's something on the sonar display, right in front, I'm going! It's a big one!"

"one slice?"

Meng Lei grumbled in his heart: "What does this adjective mean?"

At this time.

He also came to the driver's seat and hurriedly looked up at the sonar map.

After seeing the picture presented on the 3D map.

For a while, Meng Lei was also stunned.

"I'm going! What the hell!"

No wonder he wasn't shocked.

The picture that appeared in front of him was beyond his comprehension, it was something he had never seen before.

You can see the edge of the detection range of the sonar display.

There is a large strange outline emitting blue light, which is extremely spectacular!

Under normal conditions.

The sonar display will only show a red circular light spot when an abnormal point is detected.

Even the sunken ship encountered before is the same.

However, the abnormal point represented by the sunken ship is larger than the ordinary abnormal point.

Alien Relic is an exception.

Not only is it surrounded by purple shimmer, but its shape is also oval.

But at the very least, this is still acceptable, and it does show a small dot on the sonar display.

However, what Meng Lei is seeing now can no longer be called an anomaly.

Describe it with more apt words.

Should it be an "abnormal group"?

Or an "abnormal ball"?

Meng Lei didn't know how to describe it.

It is really that the spot of light is too huge, and it is continuous.

The reason why Huo Ye said it was one piece was that there was nothing wrong with it.

Crucially, for the first time, there was also a noticeable change in its base shade.

It is no longer the unchanging red, but the splendid blue!

A large blue light curtain, with an irregular shape as a whole, stretches across the front, occupying almost half of the width of the entire tunnel!

That is to say.

The size of this thing must be at least 500 meters!

And at the very center of this light curtain.

It is obvious that there is a slender beam of light standing, which is directly connected to the top of the tunnel, and I don't know where it will eventually lead.

Meng Lei was shocked at the time.

Can't even imagine what this is.

"Brother Huo, Commander Meng, what did you two see? What's in front of you?"

At this moment, Ning Wen's puzzled voice came from the earphones.

Huo Ye still used an extremely shocked tone, and replied tremblingly:

"No... I don't know, it's such a big blue light curtain, I've never seen it before!"

"One piece?! Light curtain?"

Wang Qi also frowned, and said in surprise, "Isn't it supposed to be something as strange as the ice wall just now?"

"I don't know." Huo Ye shook his head and said, "It looks like that thing is not flat, it's very three-dimensional."

"Ah? What the **** is that? Why do we keep bumping into something weird?"

Ning Wen wanted to cry without tears, but felt extremely depressed.

Since the Kyushu Fleet encountered the sunken ship, the style of painting seems to have changed.

Another painted skin parasite, another alien relic, and then another ice rock.

These other players run a thousand kilometers, and they don't necessarily encounter one thing, but it happens to them one after another.

Well now, something inexplicable has come again.

It's like fate has been put on a DeBuff, where things go wrong, and things go wrong.

At this time.

Huo Ye saw that Meng Lei didn't express his opinion for a long time, so he couldn't help shouting:

"Commander, what do you think? Shall we go forward?"

As soon as these words came out, the communicator was silent.

Everyone is waiting for Meng Lei's reply.

As everyone knows.

Meng Lei was looking at the golden text that appeared in front of him at the moment, as if he was reading a map introduction, he was in a daze.

(D12 outpost: mining production area; basic production area for processing raw ore to extract production resources.)

(D12 outpost: docking dock; available for ships to dock in an orderly manner, and can go directly to the central area.)

(D12 Outpost: Shipyard; a factory area integrating manufacturing, improvement, repair, and maintenance)

(Outpost D12: Medical District; a place for healing.)

Yes.

When Meng Lei concentrated his attention and locked his eyes on the uneven blue light curtain.

The golden finger, which has hardly ever fallen off the chain, once again played a role.

But what Meng Lei never expected was.

This area covered by the blue halo is actually an outpost that has long been abandoned!

The reason why it is said to be obsolete.

Because before Goldfinger gave a detailed area introduction, the outpost was first described in text.

(D12 outpost, the forward base established when the human pioneers colonized the alien planet and opened the channel in the lower area.

After the main structure of the shallow area was perfected, it was used as a temporary transfer station between the ground and the surface.

As it gradually lost contact with the surface, it was gradually abandoned.

For a period of time, it was occupied by a pirate organization and completely lost contact with the alliance.

The reason for abandonment is unknown, please be vigilant when exploring.

Here, you may be able to find something of great value! )

An abandoned outpost!

It was once occupied by pirates!

Meng Lei didn't think of it anyway.

Before reaching the outpost gathering place required by the mission objective, you can encounter an abandoned outpost on the way!

This kind of thing obviously can give people a very strange feeling.

It's like when I was playing a game, I left the Novice Village on the way to the main city.

Accidentally strayed from the road, but accidentally found an abandoned main city!

Excited, excited, confused, puzzled, shocked…

Various emotions lingered in his heart, making Meng Lei's breathing quicken involuntarily.

"Commander? Commander Meng?"

"Commander, are you okay?"

"Why didn't you speak?"

At this moment, the shouts of the crowd sounded again in the earphones.

Meng Lei finally recovered and took a deep breath.

"I am here!"

"Phew~ I finally got a response."

Huo Ye let out a long breath and said with some worry:

"I haven't spoken for a long time, why am I still thinking of you?"

After a pause, Huo Ye said again:

"How do you say it now? I don't know what strange thing the thing in front is. Shall we go over and take a look?"

"Go! Must go!"

Meng Lei's tone suddenly became a little excited, which startled everyone else.

Realizing that he had lost his way, Meng Lei coughed lightly and explained:

"I was thinking just now, where the shape of this thing seems to have been seen before. After thinking about it for a long time, I finally got a clue."

Hearing this, everyone was slightly startled.

Then, before Huo Ye could ask, Ning Wen couldn't wait to take the lead and asked:

"Commander, what did you think of? What is that thing in front of you?"

"Outpost!"

Meng Lei cleared his throat and added in a deep voice:

"An abandoned outpost!"

As soon as these words came out, the communicator was suddenly silent.

Everyone was stunned.

After a short silence, there was a commotion.

"What?! Outpost?!"

"How can there be an outpost in this undersea tunnel where birds don't shit?"

"What the **** is this?"

"Aren't we still a long way from the gathering place? How come we are here? Crossed?"

"Abandoned, what do you mean? It's so bad that it's useless?"

Several crew members chattered in the communicator.

Even HR Wang Qi, who has always been relatively stable, couldn't help exclaiming.

Everyone's first reaction when they learned the truth was similar to Meng Lei just now.

All kinds of emotions are intertwined, and they all feel unbelievable!

There was an abandoned outpost in the long and desolate rock tunnel.

This kind of thing is really incredible.

"Cough cough..."

Meng Lei coughed twice, signaling everyone to be quiet.

Then he said:

"I've seen layouts like this outpost on that submarine wreck before.

The appearance of the building is very similar to the outline shown on the sonar display.

From this, I judged that the front should be an abandoned outpost! "

Hearing this, Ning Wen immediately raised a question:

"Why is it abandoned? It can't be in use? What if it is still in operation?"

Meng Lei had already thought about his words, shook his head, and said:

"impossible!

Not to mention that it is impossible for the system to allow us to contact the aborigines of this world in advance before arriving at the gathering place.

If this outpost is still in use, then we can just settle down in the middle, avoid the crisis of ice collapse, and make plans when the situation stabilizes.

In that case, the seven-day time limit would be meaningless.

Also, now we are less than a kilometer away from that outpost~www.wuxiahere.com~ Can you see any light ahead?

If it is still in operation, the aboriginal people there can't all smear their work, right? !

So, this outpost is definitely abandoned! "

As soon as the voice fell, everyone fell silent.

After carefully pondering what Meng Lei said, he felt that it was not unreasonable.

At this time, among the crew members who woke up in the second wave, the man with a more cowardly voice spoke again.

"But, the aborigines here, why should you abandon this outpost?

Could it be that something terrible happened here? "

As soon as he said that.

The others hadn't thought much about it, and were still immersed in the shock of encountering the outpost.

But after hearing this.

All of a sudden, everyone felt that the back involuntarily began to emit cold air.

There was a tense and strange atmosphere that gradually began to spread.

Yup!

It is not an easy task to build an outpost in a tunnel of rock formations that is nearly three kilometers deep in the deep sea.

Well done, there is no reason to give up easily.

Or there has been a major accident here, such as radioactive material contamination, which makes it uninhabitable.

Or, something terrible happened.

As a result, everyone had to give up and be forced to transfer.

No matter what the situation is, it doesn't seem to be very good!

"Commander... do we still want to go?"

Ning Wen's weak voice sounded, and before he even started, he wanted to back off.

Meng Lei smiled and said savagely:

"Go! With such a huge treasure in front of you, why not go?!

Even if it is full of painted skin parasites, I have to take it down for Lao Tzu! "
