It takes more than ten minutes to walk from the bottom of the base to the spaceship, so when we were still halfway there, we saw the end of the base where we had stayed for a short time.
Theoretically, this submarine base is a secret facility, so when the US military deployed the base's self-destruction device, it did not choose explosive devices, but chose to use water pressure to destroy the base.
After the timer device is turned on, the air pressure in the base will drop to zero in an instant. The difference in internal and external pressure will make the seawater turn the base into ruins like kneading dough.
So when the countdown ended, we saw that the originally tall base gradually dwarfed in front of us, and was finally destroyed by water pressure. During this period, the seabed was still quiet.
, there are no violent fluctuations caused by the destruction of the base.
After confirming that we had no way to retreat, the four of us continued to move towards the spacecraft.
…
Half an hour later, we finally settled down in the cockpit of the spacecraft. Under the control of Mo Xi, who already had some understanding of the spacecraft's control system, she turned on the life support device in the spacecraft. As expected, she
When air once again filled every corner of the spacecraft, our lives were temporarily guaranteed.
Taking off his helmet, Harris took a greedy breath of air, then looked at me and said a long series of words.
After hearing Harris's question, Mo Xi, who had fiddled with the central control computer of the spacecraft, opened his laptop and continued to repair the data, while translating for him: "Mr. Lin, now you should be able to explain the alien."
Is that what happened? What happened just now? Why did you knock Elizabeth unconscious, and why did the alien suddenly disappear? "
After hearing Mo Xi's translation, I was just about to start explaining when I heard Mo Xi lower his head and say again: "Sijiu, find any reason to send him away. Don't tell the truth."
Um?
I was just about to turn my head to look at Mo Xi to confirm the meaning of her last words, but Mo Xi said again: "Also, don't look at me, don't attract Harris' attention."
After hearing this, I quickly stopped turning my head to look at her and looked at Harris at the same time.
There was almost no gap between the three sentences Mo Xi said to me. They were all said in one breath. Therefore, Harris probably did not see the difference between the last two sentences Mo Xi said and his desire for Mo Xi to translate.
The content has nothing to do with it.
Seeing me looking at him, Harris nodded to me and made a gesture to ask me to explain quickly.
"Okay." I nodded, and after thinking for a while, I found a lame explanation.
"Sorry, I just saw that Elizabeth seemed to have lost the ability to move. I was worried that if I took her away forcibly, she might resist, so I took action. I don't know why the alien suddenly disappeared."
After hearing my answer, Harris stared at me dubiously for a while, as if he wanted to get some clues from my face. I endured the discomfort in my heart and maintained a nonchalant look until Harris
After he moved his eyes away from my face, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Not getting the answer he wanted for the time being, Harris turned to ask Mo Xi about the food inventory on the ship. In our haste to escape, we only took a little food and water with us, and Mo Xi escaped with only a notebook.
, so if we want to stay on this spacecraft for more time, we must find a way to solve the food problem.
After hearing this, Mo Xi temporarily stopped the work at hand, went to the central control computer, opened the computer and searched the files, and finally told Harris that there was a warehouse for storing supplies on a certain deck of the spacecraft.
I don’t know how much of the contents are left. After all, the last surviving pilot on the spaceship later survived on the ship for decades. During this period, it is entirely possible that he had eaten the food and other things.
Gone.
However, Harris didn't care much about Mo Xi's last hypothesis. After all, the only thing we have plenty of time is time, so after asking about the location of the warehouse, Harris stood up and asked us to take care of Elizabeth.
, set off and left the cockpit on his own.
When I saw Harris finally leaving, I quickly ran to Mo Xi and asked her, "Mo Xi, what did you mean just now? Why didn't you let me tell you my guess?"
Mo Xi was still busy playing with the computer at this moment. She said without raising her head: "I have probably guessed your guess. Do you think that the so-called alien was actually created by Elizabeth?"
I was a little surprised and said, "How did you know?"
"It's a simple guess. If this were not the case, I can't think of any reason for you to knock Elizabeth unconscious."
"I do think so. After I knew that aliens were the thing that Elizabeth was most afraid of, I had an idea. That is, the monsters that appeared in the base this time seemed to be the things that we people are afraid of. I
I remember, the first group of mako sharks were what Jamie was most afraid of. The tentacle monsters that followed were not stated explicitly, but I think Mike seemed to be very afraid of them as well. Then there was the alien this time. From Elizabeth’s perspective at that time
Judging from the situation, it is not impossible to say that aliens are her nightmare."
After hearing what I said, Mo Xi finally stopped, turned to look at me and said, "Indeed, what you said makes sense, but what happens next?"
"Then? Isn't it already obvious? Every monster that appears this time is actually the thing that someone in the expedition team is most afraid of. If this kind of thing is said to be a coincidence, it would be too much of a coincidence.
.So I wonder, is it possible that the monsters that appeared in the base this time are all related to the imagination of those people? It is their fear that makes these monsters that should only exist in their nightmares come into reality!
"
"A very logical guess..." Mo Xi nodded and said, "Compared to when you were in the Arctic Circle, your intelligence has really grown a lot... So what happens next?"
"Then?" I didn't understand.
"Yes, and...since you think this incident is caused by the monsters in our nightmares running into reality, then why do those monsters appear in reality? What causes this phenomenon? Do you have any clues about this?
?”
Mo Xi's words made me speechless. I was sure that my guess was correct. This could be seen from the fact that the alien disappeared after I knocked Elizabeth unconscious. But for the reason why this phenomenon was caused
I still can't figure out the reason. After all, this is a thousand feet deep under the sea. I really can't imagine that there is anything like this that can make the monsters in nightmares come true.
When I was frowning, Mo Xi suddenly laughed and said to me: "Forget it, don't think about it anymore, this thing is too unbelievable, you can't think of it even if you break your head."
"Huh?" Mo Xi's words made me feel something was wrong. It sounded like she knew the reason.
"Dr. Mo Xi, do you know the reason?"
To my surprise, Mo Xi actually nodded.
Just when I was stunned, she turned the laptop screen next to me towards me, and then said: "Sijiu, just now, I have repaired the data in the computer of this spaceship! Just among the repaired data,
There is the answer you want to know!”
"What?" I almost jumped up and rushed to the computer to see what was going on. However, when I saw the text on the screen, I was a little dumbfounded because I
I actually forgot that the data documents Mo Xi obtained from the spacecraft were all written in English.
In desperation, I had no choice but to turn to Mo Xi for help. The latter chuckled lightly, took the computer, and began to explain to me the contents recorded in the document.
It all starts with the parallel world where the "Enterprise" spacecraft was built...
