Chapter 839: The Sea in the Tower(1/2)
Chapter 839 The Sea in the Tower
The salty sea water rushed in from all directions, and soon covered the insteps of the two people. In the blink of an eye, it was already submerged to the middle of the calves, and was about to reach the knees.
"Damn it!" Thirty-three cursed, and quickly buckled the full-coverage respirator mask hanging on his waist on his face.
A full-coverage respirator can completely isolate harmful gases in the air, and can naturally be used in underwater environments. But the problem is that Sansan did not bring a diving suit. According to this water filling speed, in a few minutes, the underwater pressure will
It is so big that the human body cannot bear it.
The sea water has reached the waist level, but Ke Lan still stands there, indifferent.
"Ke Lan? Hello? What's wrong with you?" Thirty-three walked up to Ke Lan with some difficulty, first helped him put on the breathing mask, and then knocked on the piece of transparent resin in front of the mask, "This
The place is about to be flooded, why are you so stupid?"
"I'm not in a daze." Ke Lan said lightly, "I was just thinking that it would be good to end it here..."
"What are you talking about?" Thirty-three was startled, then grabbed Ke Lan's shoulders and shook him hard a few times, "Is there something wrong with your brain?"
Ke Lan suddenly felt a stinging pain on the back of his neck. Several sharp thorns grew out of the armor that Ze Luo had transformed into, directly piercing the place on his neck where the pain nerves are densest. This stinging pain immediately made Ke Lan wince.
With a jolt, the whole person felt as if he had woken up from a long nightmare...
Ke Lan realized with some fear that his thoughts and emotions seemed to have been affected by the information just now, especially the desperate words on the floor tiles. When Ke Lan thinks about it now, he still can't help but feel a sense of decadence in his heart.
, the emotion of wanting to "show off".
Could this be considered part of the test?
Fortunately, Thirty-three and Ze Luo woke him up in time, otherwise, Ke Lan might have drowned himself alive like this.
"Are you awake?" Seeing the change in Ke Lan's eyes, Sansan San stretched out his palm and waved it vigorously in front of his eyes a few times, "Time is running out, make a decision quickly!"
The sea water that came from nowhere was already higher than the two people's heads. As the two breathed, a long string of tiny bubbles squeezed out of the exhaust port of the breathing mask and floated upward.
"In a while, we will be crushed by the water pressure!" Thirty-three's voice came across the water body, which sounded very vague, "No matter what you want to do, you must at least float to the surface of the water first!
"
As soon as Thirty-Three finished speaking, the seawater around the two of them was directly pushed away by an invisible barrier.
Ke Lan said: "Don't rush up and float up first, let's find out where the sea water is pouring in from."
"Tsk, tsk, the space ability is really useful..." Thirty-three glanced at the sea water separated by the space barrier with some envy. Although he had seen this magical scene countless times, but every time
Once I see it, I still have an incredible feeling in my heart.
"By the way, can Zeluo's space ability be used for storage?" Thirty-three asked, "I have read some novels, and the protagonists in them will have storage props such as space rings and dimensional pockets, which can be convenient.
Okay. Why don't you let Ze Luo try and see if he can open up such a storage space so that we don't have to carry all the equipment on our backs. We can even try to install the Yagunak Tol.
Go in and take it with you."
"It can't be done." Ke Lan shook his head, "If a subspace similar to a wormhole is torn open, then the things you throw in will be torn into pieces by the subspace. Let's not talk about crushing it. Once it is
Once you throw it in, it’s basically impossible to get it back. Moreover, every time you tear open the space, you need to eliminate it.
It consumes a lot of energy. With Zeluo's current ability, she can only tear a hole that is about the same size as the cross-section of a hair, and her power will be drained... As for the means of compressing space or folding space, the same
There are also issues of energy consumption and storage damage that need to be faced.”
"Isn't there similar technology inside Yagunaktor? The space inside the battleship is much larger than it looks from the outside. How does it do that?" Thirty-three asked.
"The battleship Yagunaktor itself is a masterpiece of space technology... Even the Alpha civilization cannot reproduce this battleship. If you want to crack its technology, I think humans will have to spend at least 100,000 yuan.
More than a year." Speaking of this, Ke Lan couldn't help but recall the previously unlocked fragments in his mind... Was Yagunaktor really built by humans who escaped from the earth?
If the time perception of those memory fragments was not disturbed, those people should have built the current Yagunaktor in only a few generations... At this speed, even the "Big Explosion of Technology"
There are no words to describe it.
It can probably only be described as a "deus ex machina".
However, it cannot be ruled out that the technology used to build Yagunaktor did not come from humans... These technologies may have been left behind by an alien civilization, but they "entered" those people in some unknown way.
inside the brain.
This group of people's heads didn't explode, or even went crazy... It's really a miracle.
Logically speaking, these technologies should also be regarded as "forbidden knowledge". Unfortunately, Ke Lan has never seen the true identity of the crew members of these engineering ships - he is quite curious about the survival of the earth outside these arks.
Or, have you turned into a monster?
"Is this water... considered the third trial?" Thirty-three simply changed the topic.
Those "zombies" just now have been slaughtered by Ke Lan, and even the corpses were "eaten" cleanly. If those things are considered one of the eight trial procedures, they should be considered to have passed, right? Thirty
San Ru thought.
"I don't know, but I think it may have something to do with Yagunaktor... Not only those trial procedures, but also the entire Tower of Babel is inseparable from Yagunaktor." Ke Lan said.
.
Those "zombie" bodies retain memories related to Yagunaktor, which later allowed Ke Lan to briefly get in touch with Yagunaktor, and now, Yagunaktor's
The end point of the route was changed to Zhonghai, and immediately there was salty seawater rushing in from all sides. It would be absolute nonsense to say that there is no connection between the two.
"The Tower of Babel, Yaguna Kotor, the Undersea City, the Nameless Desert Island... and the remains of the engine blown up by the 776 Special Forces Team..." Ke Lan murmured, he felt that among these things
Everything is related, and nothing exists independently.
As long as these clues can be connected together, the truth should be revealed.
While Ke Lan was thinking, he took Thirty-Three around the tower, but they did not find any "water outlet" or any obvious undercurrent. The seawater seemed to "come from the floor"
It "seeped out", or in other words, it seemed more like it appeared in this place out of thin air.
"Isn't this sea water teleported in?" Thirty-three guessed, "When we entered the Babel Tower, it was teleported in... Since we can teleport people, it is normal to be able to teleport sea water."
"Yes." Ke Lan nodded, "Based on our knowledge, this is the only explanation that makes sense."
"Thankfully, it pours the water in slowly. If tens of millions of tons of seawater were sent in all at once, I'm afraid I would have been crushed into a meat pie before I even had time to put on the mask." Thirty-three sighed in a low voice.
.
"By the way, from now on, you must follow me closely." Ke Lan said, "The current environment reminds me of the original diving test... I never expected that the first time I tried to dive...
Diving could turn out to be the last time."
"Ha... the underwater city was banned after that, right." Thirty-three said, "Can you tell me the details of that exploration? I have always been curious, what happened to you under the water?
What things."
"On that test dive, I went into the water with Liao Zilang, and I always kept a distance of about ten meters between him and me." Ke Lan recalled, "But the moment I turned my head, Liao Zilang jumped out of my
He disappeared from me... He told me after I went back that there was an undercurrent at that time and the two of us were forced to separate."
"But what about actually?" Thirty-three's interest was aroused and he asked.
"Actually, from my perspective, it's always calm underwater." Ke Lan pulled out a spare safety rope and connected Thirty-Three to himself. "That's why I worry about whether this kind of thing will happen."
Let’s do it again.”
"There shouldn't be any undercurrents now. Zeluo's space barrier has separated the sea water. Walking under the water is like walking on the ground." Thirty-three looked around and said.
"It's better to be careful." Ke Lan said while lowering his head to handle the lock of the safety rope, "After I and Liao Zilang were separated, I arrived at the 'Undersea City'... not the 'Pioneer'
'The one scanned by the icebreaker's sonar is the other one located on the sea platform."
"Uh... Is that the one you're talking about?" Thirty-three said in a trembling tone.
"What?!" Ke Lan was startled and raised his head suddenly.
Thirty-three is raising his neck and pointing his finger directly upward.
Ke Lan looked in the direction he pointed and saw that the water surface had disappeared, and a city built on the sea platform hung like a reflection not far above them.
"That's right." Ke Lan felt goosebumps rising all over his skin. With just one glance, he was sure that what was hanging above their heads at this moment was the "Undersea City No. 2".
The city is hanging quietly on the inverted sea platform. Stone pillars with huge eyes carved on the tops stand all over the city, like some kind of traffic signs, exuding a seemingly bleak, but in the dark
The sea water has a very penetrating green light.
And not far from the edge of the city, there is a rift like a scar...
Abyss Hatchery...
"This, this is simply unbelievable... Are we in the Tower of Babel or at the bottom of the Zhonghai Sea?" Thirty-three whispered, "Isn't this thing also a shadow, like a mirage?
"
"No, this is an entity." Ze Luo's voice sounded in Thirty-three's ears.
"...Could it be a teleportation channel that connects the Tower of Babel to the bottom of Zhonghai? Is this how the sea water pours in?" Thirty-three said.
"No, Ze Luo didn't feel any spatial anomalies, at least not around us." Ke Lan rejected this speculation, "Moreover, the sea water just came up from the ground, not poured down from above our heads."
"Then where are we now?" Thirty-three suddenly paused, "This...could it be that the tower we were teleported in was not the tower in the gray mist forest, but another tower at the bottom of the sea?"
"If you really want to say that, I would rather think that the underwater city is built inside the Tower of Babel... rather than in the sea." Ke Lan said in a low voice.
"Then you were teleported to this Tower of Babel during your test dive... If you think about it this way, isn't this the second time you entered this tower?"
"It doesn't matter whether the underwater city is in the tower or the tower is in the sea." Ke Lan shook his head, "You are right, this should be the third trial procedure."
