The arrow continued to appear on the retina, indicating the direction the two of them were going.
The two of them continued to descend along the passage, walking down at least ten meters, passing the negative first floor, the negative second floor, and all the way down to the negative third floor... According to Fang Linyan's speculation, it should be at the bottom of the lake.
After descending very deep, we turned into a horizontal passage.
There are offices on both sides of the passage. At this time, there is a lot of chaos inside, similar to the situation outside. It seems that some unexpected incident has occurred.
Fang Linyan walked to the end of the passage and found that a transparent porthole had suddenly opened here, and he could see outside. However, it seemed to be about three meters above the water? This seemed to be inconsistent with Fang Linyan's guess.
Next to the porthole, there is a separate office. It is worth mentioning that the door in this office is closed, unlike the doors in other rooms that are wide open.
Fang Linyan pushed it a few times with his hand, but it didn't move. Instead, the wood on the door surface was pushed open.
He discovered that this thing looked like a Mediterranean-style solid wood composite door. In fact, it could be seen from the cracks and gaps inside that there was a metal inner layer inside.
If Fang Linyan guessed correctly, when the crisis broke out, some people chose to flee in panic, while others chose to stick around and wait for help, and this should be the base chosen as a place to stay and wait for help.
The goat couldn't help but urge:
"Let's keep moving forward, completing the task first."
Fang Linyan shook his head and said:
"This place is really weird. According to the information I have collected so far, there are too many contradictions and conflicts. If I don't understand these things, I won't get involved."
Goat said:
"Ah? Go into the water?"
Fang Linyan shrugged and said:
"Can't you see that this hidden main mission has been leading us here, and in the end it is going to take us to the deepest part of this underground lake, where there is the extremely dangerous skull on the map?"
The goat suddenly took a breath of cold air, but there was a loud noise in his ears. It was the elite mechanical warrant officer who punched the office door, but the thing still didn't move at all.
At the same time, the red warning light next to it also flashed. Not only that, somewhere in the building complex, presumably where the guard room should have been, there must be a loud alarm bell.
However, these advanced security systems have lost their effectiveness.
Fang Linyan stepped forward, looked at the place where the Elite Mechanical Warrant Officer's fist hit, shook his head and said:
"It's really strong...but maybe we can change our thinking."
Goat Wonder Road:
"How to change?"
Fang Linyan said:
"My purpose is to enter this office, not necessarily through this door. Let's go and go upstairs again."
After the two of them returned to the negative second floor above, Fang Linyan finally stopped deep in the negative second floor, and then walked into a seemingly abandoned room next to it. The goat said with some confusion:
"What is this doing?"
Fang Linyan said:
"I have specially adjusted my step distance three minutes ago to ensure that the distance taken by each step is consistent. In this case, I only need to remember the number of steps when passing through the corridor, and I can roughly measure the distance.
.”
"Before, I walked a total of 137 steps from the office to the corridor stairs on the lower floor. Now that I am on the second floor underground, I only need to walk 137 steps. This means
We're right above that seemingly solid office."
The goat suddenly said:
"Wow! Are you trying to open the door yourself?"
Fang Linyan said:
"That's right."
After arriving here, the elite mechanical warrant officer threw away the debris and cleared a circle of space. Then he first pulled the trigger on the ground to sweep the shuttle (using the company's standard firearm).
Then put a rifle grenade into the pit, press a cabinet on top and detonate it directly.
There was a muffled sound of "bang", the cabinet shook violently, and then I realized that the pit on the floor had expanded a lot. The elite mechanical warrant officer raised his fist and smashed it with a "dong dong dong", which was comparable to demolition with a hammer.
Home.
It didn't take long for a big hole to be made in the ceiling of the closed office below, and then three people jumped in together.
After entering this office, I immediately realized that it is quite spacious, about three to four times that of an ordinary office. From the boss chair in the middle and the large solid wood desk, it can be seen that this place must be for people with high status.
The room prepared by BOSS.
Walking inside, you can see that in addition to the large office reception room, there is also a lounge with a bed and a bathroom with a bathtub.
On the bed in the lounge, Fang Linyan found two corpses, one male and one female. They had turned into white bones over seven years. The strangest thing was that their cause of death was exactly the same as the mummy found above.
The fatal wound was on the top of his head, which was flat in shape, like a swordsman wielding a sword, and the sword penetrated his head directly from top to bottom.
Then Fang Linyan opened the computer on his desk and found that this thing actually required a power-on password and the like. Fortunately, at this time, the elite mechanical warrant officer actually came into play and told Fang Linyan that he had a way to use this primitive electronic defense method.
Then, it directly removed the protective skin on the fingers and stuffed the fingertips into the USP connector of the computer. Soon the things inside the computer seemed to have been stripped of their clothes...
The plastic mannequin appeared in front of Fang Linyan without any precautions.
Fang Linyan began to read the information inside quickly, and then his brows suddenly furrowed.
It turns out that this is an underwater dock. Most of the structure of the entire building has sunk directly under the water at the bottom of the lake. The three special submarines and submersibles used to explore the bottom of the lake all drove in and out directly here.
.
As for why it took so much trouble, Fang Linyan found the answer through another document requesting maintenance.
Didn't I say before that every once in a while, mysterious and powerful pulse waves will appear here. Under this kind of interference wave, communications will be extremely interfered with, and even some electronic components on the plane will malfunction, directly causing the aircraft to crash.
machine.
The bottom of this mysterious underground lake is the source of this interference wave! Its power can be said to be several times that of the outside world.
In order to avoid the harm of this infection wave, the entire electronic equipment used in Veronica's laboratory was specially made, so not only did it cost a lot of extra money, but the equipment also looked quite clumsy.
Although the Blood Umbrella Company at that time had a wide range of involvement, it did not conduct in-depth research on the niche industry of submersibles, so it was difficult to carry out targeted transformation of the special electronic equipment inside the submersibles.
So after some research, the surfaces of the three submersibles inside the underground dock were sprayed with a very unique paint. This paint can effectively prevent the destructive power of interference waves and make the submersibles inside
Special electronic equipment can operate smoothly.
However, everything has its pros and cons. This unique coating will be quickly oxidized in the air. Once exposed to the air for more than one hour, its effect will be directly reduced by 50%. If it is exposed to the air for more than three hours, it will directly fail.
.
This kind of paint is extremely expensive... That's okay, Blood Umbrella Company is not short of money.
However, the output of this thing is extremely low, and it is not something that can be obtained with money! Therefore, under desperation, the Blood Umbrella Company had no choice but to find another way and build such an underwater dock.
Keeping the operation, maintenance and other work of the submersible underwater at all times is troublesome, but it is also a helpless move and ensures that underwater exploration can always proceed smoothly.
But now the problem came. Fang Linyan stood in front of the transparent porthole of the underwater dock and realized that the lake level had actually dropped a lot, and the underwater dock had become a floating dock.
You must know that when the Blood Umbrella Company mobilized people to build this underwater dock, they must have gone through careful inspections to ensure that even in the dry season, the underwater dock would not be exposed to the water.
And it is clearly recorded in the hydrological data that Fang Linyan just saw. After expert investigation, this lake has existed for almost two thousand years. During this period, analysis of the water level sediments on the shore showed that its depth has remained relatively stable.
There is no difference between the dry period and the rich period.
However, in the short seven years since the disaster occurred, the underwater dock with a depth of fifteen meters has been transformed into a floating dock. This is really incredible, and I am afraid there is a huge hidden in it.
's secret.
After understanding these things, Fang Linyan already had a rough outline in his mind, and the computer also recorded two very important pieces of information.
That is, among the three submersibles that can be used, the one with the longest service life and the shabbiest appearance is the best because it has the most mechanical structures inside, so it is the most reliable when diving underwater.
The remaining two submersibles seem to be more advanced and protected by unique coatings, but the electronic components inside still need to be replaced every two or three months.
Another piece of news is that these three submersibles have been specially modified. Because they require frequent painting and other operations, only the diving function is limited, and a special key is required to unlock it. The backup key and instruction manual for unlocking are
They were all placed at the aviation office.
After Fang Linyan and Goat left the room, they continued to walk in the direction pointed by the arrow, and then came to the bottom of the underwater dock, and found that there were indeed two submersibles parked here...
