Chapter 400, a battleship that feeds on magma! (3/3)
However, Sabo didn't know what was happening above at this moment. After cutting the rope, he relaxed his hands and feet slightly and slid down the channel, descending an unknown number of meters in the blink of an eye.
At this time, Sabo even admired Vegapunk.
Regardless of whether he built it alone, climbing up and down at this height is enough to be tiring.
While descending, Sabo faintly heard a commotion, but it was too far away to distinguish. He couldn't tell where it came from, so he just assumed he heard it wrong.
People's perception of time becomes quite slow in the dark.
Sabo couldn't tell whether he had been descending for half an hour or a few minutes. When his fingers wrapped in armed domineering were slightly hot and stinging, he suddenly felt empty.
"It's over!"
He was refreshed, his fingers suddenly exerted force, and he pressed hard into the wall.
Wow!!
After a friction sound, half of his arm was inserted into the wall. Sabo hung at the entrance of the passage and breathed a sigh of relief.
"so close!"
I don’t know how deep it is down there, and if I don’t stop, I can’t predict good or bad luck.
He took out the flashlight with his free hand and clicked the switch.
Then looking at a large iron plate close at hand, Sabo's mouth twitched and he let go of his hand.
Boom!
Falling on the iron plate.
The exit of the passage is less than two meters above the ground. Who can explain this?
However, he didn't notice it himself.
I don’t even think about how the passage that Vegapunk can climb up and down with his physical ability can be like a skylight hanging high on the patio, which is more than ten or twenty meters above the ground.
"Here...no, this is..."
Looking around with a flashlight, Saab looked confused.
"Navy submarine?"
What came into view was not a secret laboratory, nor the expected wreckage of Pluto, but a submarine that had been stranded in an underground river and had not been used for many years.
It is very different from the current submarine design of the Navy. After all, Saab, as a warrior, can see that the thin armor design, let alone the fishmen, can be penetrated by a pirate with a little strength.
Become a water can.
Science and technology in the pirate world have stagnated, largely due to the fact that personal strength in this world often exceeds understanding. Everyone is pursuing power, and of course they neglect pure knowledge.
Some traces of artificial excavation can be seen in the surrounding caves. Combined with the pool where the submarine is located, the whole story immediately emerged in Sabo's mind.
This old-fashioned submarine may have entered this position from the bottom of the water by accident or other reasons. As a result, it was smashed through the water-proof layer and had no choice but to run aground.
In order to save themselves, a group of people began to dig along the underground space, repair it, and then dig upward to open the passage through which he entered.
"Could it be that the wreckage that Vegapunk mentioned is this submarine?"
Sabo was confused.
"But what does this have to do with Hades?"
"Have we been deceived?"
Sabo's eyes turned red when he thought that they had paid such a huge sacrifice to get the truth of a scam.
Without Pluto, what would they do to break out?
Everyone will die here!
Even if Long couldn't bear it anymore, he would never go to war with the Black Earl over a scam.
"No, we can't tell yet."
Sabo forced himself to calm down and patted his cheek: "Think about it quickly, Sabo, is there anything you haven't discovered?"
Entering the submarine, a putrid smell hit your nose.
When the flashlight shone over, he saw five bones in the bag looking at him with empty eye sockets. It was a standard body bag, but due to its age, the surface of the bag had also rotted.
Muscle fat or something else rots and sticks to the bag, forming black spots.
"The standard equipment of an old submarine is twenty people, but there are only five corpses here, which means that at least a dozen people left here alive."
"Are a dozen people alive...?"
Suddenly, Sabo felt that he had grasped something important.
Ignoring the stench that hit his nose, he came to the body bag and opened it while holding his breath.
He casually reached out and groped in the sticky rotten liquid. Soon, he pulled out a piece of cloth. After identifying it, he put it down and reopened another drier bag.
After repeating this several times, a glimmer of light flashed in Sabo's eyes.
"Sure enough, these people are not navy!"
The world government still doesn't know that Vegapunk is related to Pluto.
If more than a dozen sailors really left alive, why didn't they bring back any news?
as expected.
These people are not navy at all!
The condition of the bones and teeth showed that the deceased were all elderly people over fifty years old, and there was no trace of any training.
and……
After carefully searching the cabin, Saab discovered through a somewhat well-preserved logbook that there was no record of the stranding at all!
If it were the navy, it would be impossible to ignore such an important matter.
The ship's logbook is the same key prop as the airplane's black box!
not to mention……
"leave!"
Old-fashioned submarines have a narrow space and cannot store much supplies. The passage requires both digging and building iron ladders, which cannot be completed in one day.
"The simplest reason is, where did they get so much iron resources and conditions to make such a high iron frame!"
"so……"
Jumping to the surface of the submarine, Sabo looked at the wall carefully with a flashlight.
"They must have some other source of supplies!"
"The underground of the laboratory" is not the destination.
The real thing is hidden deeper!
"Over there!"
Looking across the wall, Sabo suddenly jumped up and came to a wall.
The underground space is very crude, like a cave dug randomly by primitive people. However, one wall is very flat. It is a standard 3*3 space. The traces left on it are obviously different from other locations. There is a sense of deliberateness left by someone.
feel.
Boom!
Knocked twice, the sound was clear and crisp.
But Sabo was even more sure that there was a problem behind it, so he decisively covered it with his armed domineering force and grabbed it with all his strength.
The sharp claws trained to smash the injustice of power are once again used as tools for digging holes.
After just a few "swish, swish, swish" sounds, he dug out pieces of gravel and threw them away. When they fell again, Sabo felt that he had dug some huge space.
The air flow blew over the back of the hand, bringing a slight chill.
After a moment of silence, Sabo prepared himself mentally and slowly withdrew his hand.
Then punch hard.
"drink!"
Rumble!
An entire wall more than three meters high was shattered. Looking at the majestic beast in front of him, Sabo was still stunned with shock even though he had simulated it countless times in his mind.
"What the hell are you telling me...this thing is called a wreck???"
What caught his eyes was a huge, endless space that could not be seen to the end.
It's like the entire island has been hollowed out, leaving only an empty shell for support.
The reason why he could see so clearly was that in the center of the space, there was still bright light on a dark steel monster.
Gululu!
The rolling magma flowed into the belly of the steel monster along the built channel, and then there was a buzzing sound inside, and a terrifying energy field erupted, making Sabo stand on his head.
Then, the light of those lights skyrocketed again, illuminating the entire space.
This cycle goes on and on without stopping for I don't know how many years.
The giant steel beast that feeds on magma is like a giant dragon sleeping underground, and there is a great sense of oppression when breathing.
Sabo didn't know how many times he swallowed his saliva.
Because this thing is not the wreckage of Pluto at all, it is a complete and complete worst battleship and ancient weapon in history!
Hades!!
Suddenly, Sabo noticed that among the rubble he smashed, there was something whose shape was completely different from the surrounding ones.
Walking over to pick it up, Sabo thought for a long time before he remembered that this was the product he had seen in the information, the legendary product from Sky Island, Yinbei.
"If I remember correctly, it should be here."
Putting the stool-shaped shell in the palm of his hand, Sabo stretched out his fingers and pressed the stool... no, the top of the shell.
Sizzle...
Noise appeared, but no sound came out for a long time.
Just when Sabo thought that the sound recorded by the phone was too old to be invalid, a strange old man's voice sounded.
"For those of you who can hear this, Vegapunk is dead, right?"
Sabo's pupils shrank.
Swallow.
He had a hunch that he seemed to have come into contact with some incredible secret!
