Explosions sounded behind him one after another. Each explosion caused the cave where it was located to shake violently. From time to time, wisps of dust would be shaken off. Now along with the explosion, the rock wall has cracked into cracks, making the
People were terrified, fearing that the cave would collapse in the next second and bury them all inside.
Death's scythe seemed to have touched the neck. The cold blade made people's hair stand on end. Their originally exhausted bodies actually gained some strength, allowing them to speed up their pace and strive forward.
When they came out of the dark cave, they looked at the sun hanging high in the sky, the blue sky, and the floating white clouds, feeling the warmth on their bodies and the gentle breeze, they felt as if they had seen the sun again.
Feeling alienated from this world, each one collapsed on the ground without any image, breathing in the fresh air with big mouthfuls. There was no choking smoke and dust, and there was no dark humidity. It was fresh and fresh as never before.
There is only one thought left in everyone's mind: Survive.
When the soldiers and technicians who stayed on the ground ran over, they saw a group of gray-faced people. Their faces were covered with beads of sweat, mixed with dust, forming wisps of black ash, and they looked extremely miserable.
Needless to say, with this embarrassed appearance and the state of being stripped of armor, you can guess with your duodenum that the advance team must have encountered great danger underground.
Everyone rushed forward, helped up the exhausted soldiers, bandaged the wounded, helped them carry their heavy loads, and handed them water...
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, Hui Jian put down the half-filled bottle of water in his hand, panted and turned around, looking at the entrance of the cave they rushed out from behind. The sun's rays could only shine into a distance of more than ten meters.
A darkness that is so dense that it cannot be dissolved.
Even though she had rushed out and was exposed to the sun, Hui Jian still felt a strong sense of uneasiness. The darkness connected directly to the underground and the super-ancient city was like a huge mouth of an abyss, quietly waiting for prey.
He stepped in and swallowed it in one gulp.
"Captain Zhong, please report the damage to the headquarters." Saeki's deep voice sounded from one side.
Hui Jiama turned around and saw that Saeki was no longer as high-spirited as when he was underground. He looked quite downcast because he had just counted the number of people and found that less than half of them had come out, which meant that more than half of the soldiers had stayed underground.
.
The loss is really too great.
These were all team members he hand-picked, but they were buried in the worm's belly because of his orders, leaving no trace of their bodies. This made Saeki extremely painful and regretful, and he didn't know how to face their parents, wives and children.
If he didn't have people spread out to search, they could gather in twos and threes and form a battle formation to cover each other's retreat. With the advantage of firepower, more people would definitely be able to evacuate.
But it’s too late to regret it now!
Megumi felt Saeki's sadness and sorrow, and nodded silently. Although she could not explain it clearly, the director sent her to temporarily join the Luluye investigation team, which indeed meant 'supervising the army'. After all, this island is of great importance, and there is no one.
I really don't trust my own people.
This can be regarded as an almost explicit rule, so even though this investigation was led by the police department, Chief Ji Gang did not say a word of objection, but acquiesced to Hui Jia's participation.
Then Hui Jian thought of something that needed attention and said, "Although I don't know if those things will come to the ground, but... it's better to be careful."
"I will have people set up detectors at the entrance of the cave, and the personnel will be temporarily evacuated to the ship before new orders are issued from the headquarters." Saeki was not knocked down by grief, and still remained awake and rational.
For more than a year, the Luluye survey team collected a large amount of data on this roughly quadrilateral island and established a clear model.
This island, with a total surface area of 324 square kilometers, has nearly a hundred mountains, large and small, but not a single blade of grass. At first, it seemed like nothing. After all, the island had just emerged from the bottom of the sea.
, it is normal to have no terrestrial plants, but more than a year has passed and there is still no grass growing.
TPC deliberately selected many plants suitable for growing in mountains and transplanted them at the landing site, but none of them survived. For this reason, TPC also set up a research team. In Saeki's mission this time, he dug up a large number of plants from different locations on the island.
The soil is sealed and taken back for research in laboratories around the world.
The soil samples excavated so far are all black, not fertile and oily black soil, but more like silt. They were wet when they were excavated. Some team members curiously put them in the sun to dry, but it has been almost two weeks.
It's not dry yet.
Black mountains and black soil, if you encounter Black Sky again, it will be really dark and dark, like a hell on earth. Those who can stay in such a depressing environment for a long time are all elites with extremely strong psychological quality. When they return, no matter what
No matter which industry you go to, not only becoming a leader, but also being among the best.
However, the elites who were likely to have a better future lost more than half of them all at once, which made Saeki extremely heartbroken. He no longer had any luck in his heart and was ready to take everyone back to the ship, even if he would be criticized for being timid and cowardly.
.
Hearing Saeki's plan, Megumi nodded, agreed with Saeki's caution, and said: "Then it must be done as soon as possible, after all..."
Hui Jian looked up at the sky. The sun was setting towards the sea in the west. There was not much time left before nightfall. The previous nights were just darker, but today's night would make people feel frightened and frightened.
To know the high mountains of this island, after using seismic wave detection, we found that there are artificially excavated tunnels everywhere inside the mountain and underground, and they are connected to each other, densely packed like an underground maze.
Once night falls, will those giant cockroach-like bugs come out of the tunnels in the mountains beneath the island?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! No one can guarantee this.
When you find a cockroach under the floorboards, it means there is at least a nest of cockroaches in your home.
This island was previously considered to have no life, but today hundreds of cockroaches were found in the underground super-ancient city. I wonder if there are other cockroaches that are also probably natural.
What about the life that survived the ultra-ancient period?
Although Hui Jian is not a biologist, he at least knows a common sense of biology, that is, living things cannot exist alone. At least they need to be related to a food chain. This means that the interior of this seemingly deserted island
And underground, there should be many kinds of creatures that are probably equally huge in size.
In the past more than a year, they have not been discovered or attacked. It may be luck, or it may be that those creatures do not know that the island has risen from the sea. But today, will their unexpected intrusion break this situation?
This balance is still unknown, but no one dares to risk their lives to block it, so leaving the island as soon as possible and going to the transport ship anchored at sea is the safest and safest choice.
Time is tight and the sun waits for no one.
After Saeki and Megumi reached an agreement, they immediately began to make evacuation arrangements.
Although you have to run away, you can't just run away without caring about anything. You should take away as much expensive but easy-to-carry instruments and equipment as possible. Hard drives that store data, experimental utensils, various samples, etc., you should take away whatever you can.
Take them all away.
The giant bug has not yet disappeared, and they ran away in a panic without taking anything. So no matter how great the credit is, no one will use it.
It took a long time and a lot of resources to build this camp, but the retreat was much faster. All kinds of items were packed into categories and transported by vehicle to the built dock, then hoisted onto the ship and stacked on the deck.
Busy and orderly!
When the setting sun shone on the sea, the huge camp became empty. A large number of equipment and equipment that were not easy to transport and carry were temporarily abandoned. Small items were all piled on the deck. Although the sky was dim, a lamp
A searchlight illuminated the deck brightly. Under Saeki's orders, staff members shuttled back and forth between the cabin and the deck to return items to the warehouse.
Although they are temporarily evacuating the camp, it is always right to prepare for a rainy day. Even if nothing happens, it is just moving the things out of the cabin. It doesn't take much effort, and they don't need to move them, so Saeki doesn't have any problem.
The psychological burden makes people move their things into the cabin first and be ready to sail at any time.
Hui Jian came to the communication room, connected to the satellite, and began to report to the headquarters today's big discovery underground and the dangers encountered, as well as...
Her personal feelings.
The compiled information and videos were transmitted via satellite to the offshore headquarters base that had just been repaired by TPC, allowing Director Sakai, Director Yoshigo and other senior officials to see the large-scale underground caves and magnificent buildings, as well as the full
Giant stone statue of the earth.
"Oh my God, such a huge super ancient city."
"There are so many giant stone statues."
"..."
All the high-ranking staff officers lost their cool and looked at the giant stone statues all over the ground with great excitement. Although they were all broken into pieces, what does it matter? The technology and theory developed by Masaki Keigo and Tango Yuuji
It is possible to create giant stone statues, and repairing them is not a problem.
But before they could cheer, Hui Jian played the video of the 'giant cockroaches' all over the ground, and the images of them attacking the soldiers like chopping melons and vegetables. All the excitement came to an abrupt end, and they were stunned to see these little cockroaches.
A number of 'insects' emerged from the ruins that were as big as a giant tiger.
"What...what is this?" Staff Officer Nagyun looked at these huge bugs in great surprise. Through the first-person perspective captured by the camera on the soldier's helmet, he could clearly see the laser gun hitting these bugs.
There was no pain or itching on my body, and it couldn't cause any harm.
"Is it a super-ancient creature?" Staff Officer Nanyuan couldn't help but frown. It was exciting and thrilling to find a super-ancient city and so many giant stone statues, but it was very troublesome when there were so many big bugs in the city.
Without clearing them away, it would be impossible to excavate and study this ultra-ancient city, let alone transport the giant stone statues.
Director Sawai pondered for a moment and said, "How is the situation of the investigation team?"
"More than half of the advance team's casualties have been evacuated to the ship." Hui Jianzhong said sadly, making all the senior officials in the hologram also lament. No matter whether they were disapproving of the large number of soldiers who could sign at any time, but on the surface they were still
Make it look like you take it seriously.
"And I'm worried that these giant bugs are not the only ones." Hui Jian expressed her worries.
"Not the only one?" Director Ji Gang closed his small fan and asked, "You mean there are other giant creatures, even monsters?"
"Luluye has always sunk to the bottom of the sea, and the underground city has no trace of being submerged by the sea, which means that it is a completely closed environment." Hui Jian looked at this group of old people who hold the highest power of mankind and said:
"In other words, those giant bugs have probably been surviving since super antiquity."
Staff Officer Nanyuan immediately understood what Hui Jian meant and said: "You are saying that there may be other super-ancient creatures."
Think about it, these giant bugs are so huge, they can't survive by eating rocks. Even if they eat rocks, they can eat up Luluye all over the years, and Luluye is still here.
, that means that those giant bugs have other food sources, and if they are used as food, they also need to eat.
By analogy, this means that there is likely to be a complete food chain in that closed super-ancient city, and this food chain is also likely to be filled with giant creatures.
There are a lot of giant creatures, and they are all from the ultra-ancient period. Thinking about them makes biologists excited, because this is important data for studying ultra-ancient times, and it may also reveal the process of biological changes on the earth.
"That's right," Jujian Hui nodded and said, "And whether these giant bugs carry germs, are they viruses that modern society cannot resist, and... these creatures..."
As soon as Hui Jian said this, the communicator suddenly rang, and a sharp shout came from inside: "It's not good, there is a bat attack, a giant bat."
