Chapter 1319 Arriving at the Tiankeng of the End Times!
Finally, just when Vincent had used up his last bit of strength and was about to swallow the energy bean, Lin Cheng, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and looked forward a few times, and then heard him say:
"Are we... here?"
"I...ahem! Let me take a look!"
Hearing Lin Cheng's words, Vincent, who was already exhausted, suddenly felt as if he had been given a shot of blood. He rushed to Lin Cheng in three steps and two steps at a time. He looked forward with wide eyes and saw a place covered with snow.
A huge sinkhole appeared in front of everyone!
"This is it...this is it!"
Looking at the sinkhole in front of him that felt both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time, Vincent breathed a long sigh of relief and kept mumbling to himself.
On the side, Mia and Daisy, who were very active after taking energy beans, were even more excited at this time and didn't know what to say. In fact, strictly speaking, they had nothing to do with this matter, it was just a coincidence.
Yangcuo was finally brought here by Lin Cheng. After the torture all the way, the two of them were naturally very happy when they finally reached their destination. At least they no longer had to rush on their way, right?
As for Bai Ling, since she saw this apocalyptic sinkhole, she has become even more taciturn. Although she cannot clearly see the situation at the bottom of the sinkhole from above because of the snow cover, she has a faint feeling that there must be something down below.
There are many hidden secrets closely related to her!
To say that those who had the most complicated feelings on the field were probably Lin Cheng and Coke. After learning about the existence of such a place from Fang Xiucheng for the first time, they had silently regarded it as their main goal for the rest of their lives. After experiencing countless
After going through many hardships and dangers, the two brothers finally stood in front of the apocalyptic sinkhole. The complicated feelings in their hearts could not be explained in a few words.
Everyone stood on the sinkhole in silence for a long time with their own thoughts. Finally, Lin Cheng broke the silence, "Let's go, we are already here, why don't we go down and stay where we are?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and a row of spiraling downward ice crystal stairs appeared from his feet, spreading all the way to the depths of the pit.
Since this area has been shrouded in wind and snow all year round since the advent of the apocalypse, Lin Cheng and the others have never encountered any artificial buildings or machinery along the way, except for the office area at the foot of the mountain.
But even if you encounter it, it is useless. Although Vincent has learned that this area has been greatly developed after the technical personnel sent by senior officials from various countries settled in, but with the advent of the end of the world, these once represented high-level
The sophisticated equipment has all turned into a pile of scrap metal. As the snow continues to cover it, it may be difficult to see the light of day again in decades.
Although not many large-scale machinery could be seen, as everyone walked slowly towards the bottom of the pit on the ice ladder, the traces of mechanical development remaining on the rock wall of the sinkhole were still obvious, and there were even traces of mechanical development on the cliff not far away.
There is an engineering elevator standing there, which shows that this sinkhole did not look like this when it was first discovered. The developers obviously did more things here than they imagined.
No one spoke. As they continued to descend in such a giant sinkhole that was nearly a thousand meters deep and was constantly blown by the cold wind, everyone felt more or less unsure. Although Lin Cheng had already built the ice ladder from the beginning.
It's wide enough, but it's not enough to calm everyone's fears.
Halfway down, the light in the pit has become much dimmer. The topography of this sinkhole is a rare vertical downward. From above, it looks like a giant manhole suddenly appeared out of thin air on the flat ground.
As their group continued to go deeper, the light naturally became worse and worse.
Finally, as everyone finally descended to the bottom of the pit, the surrounding light had almost completely disappeared. Fortunately, everyone at this time had a miner's hat with a lampshade on their heads.
I found it in a dug hole and thought it was broken a long time ago. I didn't expect it to still work after putting in a few new batteries. It was a big surprise.
Due to the limited line of sight, everyone could not fully observe the specific appearance of the pit except that they knew they had reached the bottom of the pit. Lin Cheng wanted to see if he could repair the lights installed on the rock wall, but after discovering
The plan was abandoned after the generators were buried in snow.
Seeing that Lin Cheng started wandering around after arriving here, Vincent quickly said to him: "This is actually not the real bottom of the pit. The reason why the apocalyptic tiankeng attracted so many scientists to come here for investigation is because after arriving here
Then the real beginning begins!”
"oh?"
Hearing what Vincent said, Lin Cheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. No wonder he felt something was wrong when he first got down here. From his perspective, this world-famous apocalyptic sinkhole was not only large in size but deep in depth.
Apart from being deep enough, it is not fundamentally different from the large pits that can be seen everywhere outside.
Sighing softly, Vincent's brows had not raised since he entered the apocalyptic sinkhole. He said in a deep voice: "Actually, when things have come to this point, why did this apocalyptic sinkhole attract so many people?"
Scientist, you should have been able to guess something in your mind more or less, right? Yes, in fact, from the beginning, what attracted scientists from all over the world was not the so-called gimmick of the world's largest sinkhole, but the discovery from inside.
Come out and gnaw the carcasses!”
Lin Cheng nodded, without any surprise on his face, "Well, I've already guessed this, and I also know why those people refused to evacuate after so many incidents of gnawing injuries.
Isn’t it because they want to work hard to control this power that is different from ordinary people in their own hands?”
"That's right."
Sighing again, Vincent looked around and saw Bai Ling and Coke standing not far away on guard, so he said: "I have said from the beginning that this apocalyptic sinkhole is of great significance to the scientific research community.
It is an extremely precious discovery. They don't care how many people were killed or injured in the process of discovering this secret. They just want to crack the secret hidden in this sinkhole as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, they did not crack it until the end of the world.
Unravel the mystery that haunts the Gnawer..."
Nodding, Lin Cheng said: "Not only them, I also want to know where these monsters come from. Human beings have gone through five million years since their birth. Where did these monsters come from before humans appeared?"
What already existed suddenly appeared not long before the end of the world, which has always been very puzzling to me..."
