Qin Anyi lay obediently on the edge of an undulating mound, his body completely covered by sand, leaving only a pair of eyes staring at the open area in front of him. |
His eyes were obviously bloodshot. Even with Qin Anyi's strong body and very short need for sleep, he looked extremely tired at this moment, and his double eyelids seemed to be constantly fighting.
He had been lying motionless for ten days!
According to the detailed terrain environment nearby that he had memorized in his mind, the edge of the mound where he was now could just observe the land with a radius of ten miles. With Qin Anyi's visual ability, the range he could see was even wider.
Quite a few!
Fortunately, the Great Rift Valley is surrounded by endless plains, otherwise it would be impossible for one person to monitor such a large area.
Ten days ago, Qin Anyi first went down to the bottom of the rift valley. The bottom of the entire East African Rift Valley is full of natural reservoirs, with large and small freshwater lakes stretching here.
There is even a huge freshwater lake in front of this area that is as far as the eye can see.
And there are dozens of large and small lakes near that huge freshwater lake.
Qin Anyi found a medium-sized lake and jumped into it, hunting a dozen big fish two to three meters long. Then, while letting Qilin continue to interfere with possible satellite monitoring over this land, he hunted as fast as possible
He ate all the fish in his stomach.
As for the inedible things in the fish's body, a deep hole was dug in the ground and buried in it.
Then Qin Anyi climbed to the edge of the mound, buried himself in dust and gravel, and stared at all the movement nearby without blinking.)
He was watched for ten days.
Qin Anyi didn't eat at all in ten days. Since he didn't make any unnecessary movements, his body's energy consumption was also maintained at the lowest level. The fish meat he filled his stomach before was enough to last for twenty days under these conditions.
, or even a month’s nutritional needs.
The only thing that made Qin Anyi feel particularly painful was the problem of sleep.
Under normal circumstances, he only needs two to three hours of sleep a day to keep himself energetic. If there are special circumstances, even three days and three nights without sleep will not have much impact.
But now ten days have passed, and even with Qin Anyi's strength, it is somewhat difficult to resist the extreme fatigue of his body.
"I can support it for three more days at most. If there is still no movement in three days, I will have to sleep for a while." Qin Anyi stared at the situation in front of him without blinking, thinking in his mind
He said helplessly to Qilin.
"If there is really the laboratory you mentioned nearby, then it should be almost time." Qilin Youyou responded: "Even if a lot of food and water can be prepared at one time, the air can also be purified through technical means. But
But your human mental state cannot be adjusted."
"What do you mean?" Qin Anyi frowned slightly. At this moment, a secretary bird unique to the African continent suddenly flashed its wings and landed directly on Qin Anyi's head.
Since all the breath was contained within his body and his appearance was covered with gravel, Qin Anyi had no breath of life at all at this time, so that even birds, a naturally timid and sensitive race, did not notice Qin Anyi's existence.
"The troublesome thing about you humans is that you cannot continue to work at high intensity for a long time without relaxing. Even if the body can persist with the support of various nutrients, the spirit will fall into a dangerous state due to excessive fatigue.
state. So once human beings live in a fixed small-scale environment for too long, they must go out to see the sunshine, otherwise they will inevitably collapse."
Listening to Qilin's explanation, Qin Anyi thought it made sense, but the problem was...if he couldn't find any more clues, he would be unable to hold on anymore...
There was a slight fluctuation in his spirit, and Qin Anyi's aura suddenly leaked out. The secretary bird that was resting peacefully on Qin Anyi's head was immediately frightened, spread its wings, and flew into the sky in terror.
.
At this moment, Qin Anyi's eyes suddenly lit up. About ten kilometers directly in front of the place where he was lying, there was a leaking vortex on the largest freshwater lake at the bottom of the rift valley.
...Then the originally calm lake surface began to boil as if boiling water, and then an ugly steel monster surfaced.
submarine?!
Qin Anyi's eyes widened instantly and his mouth opened slightly involuntarily. He was not mentally prepared for the scene he saw in front of him.
How could a submarine appear in this place?!
Although the area of the freshwater lake in the distance seems to be at least one or two thousand square kilometers, there will naturally be no problem in carrying a submarine.
But...but this is an inland lake!
And it’s a completely enclosed inland lake! At the bottom of the East African Rift Valley! How could a submarine appear in this place?!
How was it transported?
Qin Anyi's mind was in chaos. He watched blankly as the submarine surfaced. Several people in white coats climbed out of the submarine's hatch and stood on the deck, admiring the lake with happy and content faces.
Beautiful scenery.
With no time to think about it, Qin Anyi stared with scarlet eyes, trying to see clearly what these people in white coats were talking about.
However, even though he has superhuman vision, he can only clearly see the faces of those people from such a long distance, and lip reading, a task that requires too much observation, cannot be done anyway.
"Qilin, can you stop interfering with the electronic equipment in this area? I probably need... um... fifteen minutes is enough." Qin Anyi gritted his teeth and wanted to take risks.
"Do you want to control those people and escape into the submarine?" Qilin asked.
"Well! This submarine must have been brought in by some unknown method used by the First Empire, and it must be related to that mysterious laboratory." Qin Anyi nodded.
"I don't recommend doing this. The time when the other party comes out to look out should be the time when the area is most closely monitored. They should always pay attention to whether there are strangers nearby to prevent the submarine from being discovered. At this time, it is possible to interfere with information.
Arouse the other party's attention. Once the monitoring failure is discovered, the submarine will inevitably dive back into the lake as soon as possible. And it will easily make the other party be more vigilant." Qilin directly rejected Qin Anyi's request.
"What should we do?"
"Has just ten days of lurking made you restless? Naturally, you should have a good sleep first to let your body recover to its best condition. Anyway, you have found a place. Since the submarine can move there, there are no such things around the lake.
Any place that can be used. Then obviously there must be a small port in the lake that can be used to replenish and add fuel, but I don’t know how it was built. When you regain your strength, you can sneak into the lake to look for it.
A place that allows a submarine to enter should still be easy to find."
Qin Anyi listened to Qilin's thoughts, nodded secretly, stared at the submarine in the distance for a while, then closed his eyes and fell asleep immediately.
