There is a steam machinery that is still running here, and the scale is definitely not small. Otherwise, the smell of lubricating oil would not have spread to such a long distance. What could it be? Cassia glanced at the large darkness around him, of course he
Knowing that there is nothing he wants to see there, there is only eternal nothingness and emptiness.
Could this be Nolida's real hiding place? Cassia looked out from the top of the ridge, and saw nothing but black. The place where Plit was squatting should not be just an ordinary area. He leaned down and lay down,
He pressed his ears tightly to the ground again. However, for more than ten minutes, Cassia did not hear any sound he wanted to hear. Nolida's base was not a cavity dug into the mountain. p>
The smell of lubricating oil can extend to the giant steam machinery, and the identity of Plit's first team leader can also confirm that this area, or this low ridge is not an ordinary place. So what key thing is he missing?
, and let his eyes be completely covered by black. Cassia touched his head, which had become a chaotic web.
He returned his sight again. The top of the mountain was not flat, but it was not just pitted. In Cassia's opinion, it was more like a stone forest area with protruding rocks everywhere, and large rocks were simply not there.
It was not the sharp-cut shape of an ordinary mountain peak. It lay quietly on the rocks beside him. The texture and smell on it were the same as the soil on the mountainside, completely incompatible with it.
They are more like things that were carried up by something and then randomly discarded here.
Cassia frowned slightly. The ridge under his feet neatly divided the surrounding darkness into two halves. No matter how sharp his eyesight was, it was impossible to see anything out of the dark world. He followed the curved direction of the ridge.
After walking for a long distance, I stopped in surprise. The black scene in front of me was still the same emptiness and calmness that had not changed for thousands of years, but in Cassia's heart, a wave of waves was set off.
In his feeling, the ridge is circular, and its shape is like a volcano in a silent state. In the center of the circular ridge is a huge black cavity. The black inside is purer, like the depth of the sea.
The dark blue at the top has no sign of life or any ethereal feeling. The darkness wrapped around the ridge is simply black, without any other color of black.
Cassia looked down at the darkness in front of him, his eyes focused on the front, as if there was something swallowing his thoughts, easily shattering his sight of exploring the past, which gave Cassia a wonderful touch, as if
The fallen leaves floating on the lake have an ethereal feeling that cannot be touched, like clouds floating in the sky.
The darkness reflected in his eyes was exactly the same thing as what he had experienced a few hours ago when he looked into those ravines several meters deep. It was just that this feeling was stronger now. The former just felt darkness.
It is a huge emptiness, but the latter has a dead silence that can swallow anything.
"It can indeed swallow anything without making any noise." A smile appeared on Cassia's face, and he knew the source of that feeling.
It is also dark, but there are obvious differences on both sides of the ridge. The kittens also have different fur colors and sizes, and the dark black color also divides into two different personalities at this time.
The black in front of me is deathly black. It is a bottomless pit. There is nothing to rely on. Looking at it feels like falling into a cave that will never land. And the latter is also the piece of land behind Cassia.
The darkness he once walked through became more solid and thicker. Because he knew that below the height of 1,500 meters, there was the broad and thick earth.
"The low ridge at the foot is not a mountain at all. It is just a piece of excess stone brought up from deep underground when mining minerals. They were piled here under the transportation of huge steam machinery. Because of the huge scale of mining, from underground
The huge amount of rock waste brought up formed this low ridge that looked like a mine." Cassia's thoughts extended forward.
"The reason why the darkness in front of me feels like the bottomless night sky is because more than 1,500 meters below is not the end of this darkness at all. The central area surrounded by low ridges,
It is a vertical mine with a huge diameter and depth. It was created with a giant steam drill produced by the Imperial Factory. When it was first mined, it may not have been thought of transporting the excess waste away.
Just pile them directly on the drilled mine hole."
Cassia raised her head and looked at the silent darkness above her head. Behind the black storm clouds was not just the top of the mine cavity. Inside the cumulus clouds, there should be another piece of land that was really made of steel.
A different world. But the world that should be exposed to people's eyes was covered by Nolida with something. It was the same thing as the thick curtains used to block the light entering the house.
There should be giant steam machines with flashing lights overhead. They are still running silently under the power of scorching steam. Endless steam spurts out from their bodies, and the steam that enters the air and cools down is carried by the wind here.
Moisture! So the smell of lubricating oil coated on the countless gears on their bodies also leaked out and entered the high-altitude air. The roaring sound of the gears advancing was completely absorbed by the large number of silencer blocks installed before it could be heard.
The various flashing lights were completely covered up by a thick black cloth.
There is a huge silent world in the sky here. They are attached to the giant mining machinery built here by the empire decades ago. That is the real hiding place of Nolida.
After figuring everything out, Cassia immediately turned back the way she came.
Two hours later, they were still in the same detection pit, and Carla and the others had not left. Lee, Gustin, and the others had already returned as scheduled.
Seeing Cassia groping out of the darkness, Kara and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, and their serious expressions relaxed.
"Mr. Cassia, it is not the character of a gentleman to not follow the agreement." Li first said in his feminine voice, with a bit of happiness in his voice. He had an unusually strong interest in Cassia.
"Of course, I know this is not a correct behavior, and it is also a very rude approach." Cassia finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time. If he did not come back as scheduled, the message of course was that he had been captured by the enemy.
Disposed of.
He put down the modified sniper rifle in his hand and continued: "Because of some people and some things, too much time was wasted, but the harvest from this trip is definitely not small."
"This is indeed Nolida's hiding place, but the base he established is not on the ground, but in,,,,,,"
"In the darkness in the sky." Several people raised their heads together, and they guessed the answer at the same time.
"If Cassia's information is correct, it is really a comfortable position." Kristians sighed, "Now that you know the position, it is not the character of a gentleman to not share this happiness with everyone." Gustin and the others nodded, with gentlemanly smiles in their eyes and faces.
