West Africa, diamond mines.

The number of people gathered here in country A has reached more than 300 people, half of whom are military personnel, and half are scientific researchers and miners.

They had already begun extensive excavation work on the diamond mines, and boxes of diamonds were shipped out, but no one looked at them, but they were piled up in the open space outside the mine.

In the tent next to him, Professor Loew was working non-stop with a dozen people, and the two people who had come with him were observing the data on a device.

Another group of people gathered around a geological prospector and watched, and their mouths kept discussing.

"Straight-line distance doesn't mean we can dig it quickly, it's complicated!"

"That's right! I've been in there before, and the mine is connected to a very complicated karst cave, and the situation is too complicated. ”

"It's not clear which cave leads here. ”

"That's what I can't figure out, our instruments are the most advanced in the world, why can't the terrain show there? Could it be that there's some radiation in there that affects exploration?"

"Possibly!"

"I still recommend that professionals go in and explore. ”

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

Loew watched as these people agreed to send an exploration team, and only hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

As far as the current situation is concerned, it has been more than half a month since they found this location, and they have not even touched the edge of the energy inside, except for some useless diamonds.

If they say that they haven't surveyed the energy fluctuations, they have not only surveyed them, but the energy fluctuations are also extremely active, and the values are unimaginably high.

Otherwise, country A would not have spent so much effort here.

Fortunately, the chaos in the outside world has given them a chance, and before that, they can only use Alpha Company to secretly carry out it behind their backs.

Loew stepped out of the tent and came to Willis's tent.

"General!" Loew shouted at the door.

General Willis inside was eating, and when he heard the shout, he immediately threw down his lunch box and walked out, "Professor Love, have you found it?"

However, seeing Loew's expression, Willis was a little disappointed, he didn't want to stay in this ghost place anymore.

The surrounding aborigines, almost every day, saw a few dead people, and all of them were scared.

"General, we just discussed it and plan to send a professional exploration team in. Professor Loew said.

Willis was a little unhappy, "Isn't your equipment claimed to be the most advanced in the world, why do you need to send professionals in there to explore?"

"That's right, because we can't get more accurate information from the outside, as if there's some radiation inside that's blocking the signal, and our existing equipment can't detect what's really going on inside. Professor Loew said helplessly, "We have never encountered this kind of problem, so sending an exploration team into it to investigate is the best way at the moment!"

Willis didn't speak, just pondered Loew's suggestion, and Professor Loew didn't interrupt him, quietly waiting for his reply.

After a full five minutes, he spoke again: "Yes, I will send someone with you, but!" His tone changed suddenly, "I want to warn you, Professor! We are soldiers, and we are only responsible for protecting your personal safety, and if you still can't come up with anything that convinces me, I will report directly to the president that you are a bunch of liars!"

Loew shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "Whatever you want!"

Looking at the back of Professor Loew leaving, Willis was even more upset, but he still called the soldiers around him, "Go, tell two people to bring weapons and follow these nerds in!"

The soldier said yes and turned to leave, and in a few moments the three soldiers went to Professor Loew's tent in full gear.

Loew called his assistant, the man in his thirties, and went with the geological prospector.

"Carl, you remember!" Loew pulled him aside, "get inside, you're only in charge of observing the records, don't care about anything else, and if you find something wrong, come out immediately, remember?"

Carl was a little nervous by what Professor Loew said, but he nodded without hesitation, "I remember, don't worry, Professor!"

"Protect yourself!" Loew stressed again, always feeling uneasy in his heart, and turned to shove a portable radiation detector into Carl's hand, "Take this!"

Carl looked at the instrument in his hand, and immediately felt that it was not necessarily a good idea to go inside, Loew looked at the others behind him, and said to Carl very seriously: "Carl, I have studied energy all my life, and I have never seen this kind of value, I don't know what you will encounter inside, I just hope you can come back safely!"

"I see, Professor!" Karl nodded vigorously, saddled his supply bag and the radiation detector Loew had given him, and walked out with the others.

Their group, plus the three soldiers sent to them by Willis, a total of ten people, walked to the entrance of the mine under the eyes of everyone.

Glancing back at Professor Loew, Karl nodded, turned and followed the group inside.

The wires and light bulbs that had been pulled in before were only about fifty meters inside, and it was dark in the mine behind them, so they turned on the miner's lamp overhead.

After walking about a few dozen meters, they saw the entrance to the cave, which had also been renovated and enlarged, so that they could walk in by bending down.

But there were three entrances here, and the surveyors in front of them discussed it and walked into the cave on the right.

In the cave, it was even darker, only the light from the overhead lamp was swaying back and forth in the cave, and the other places could not see their fingers, and their movement speed suddenly slowed down.

The geological prospectors also brought a few instruments and equipment to carry in, and in the empty cave, the sound of "drip, drip!" and "drip, drip!" sounded.

Someone was still holding a small instrument in his hand, with a pointer swinging back and forth on it.

Three soldiers, two in the front and one in the back, to protect the professionals.

Carl slung the radiation detector to his waist and held a notebook and a pen in his hand, drawing the map as he walked.

The soldier who followed him at the back was a little curious when he saw him doing this, and when he got closer, he asked, "Dr. Karl, what are you drawing?"

Karl turned his head to look at him, the soldier didn't look very old, he looked at the people some distance away, and whispered to him: "I'm drawing a map, you remember to follow me later, if something happens, don't run blind!"

The soldier was a little nervous by Carl's words, and the hand holding the gun tightened again, "What will be here?"

Carl didn't know, but judging from Professor Loew's cautious attitude, the things inside were certainly not simple, and if there was a large amount of radiation at the center of the energy fluctuation found out, none of them would want to live.

"I don't know, remember my words!" Karl said, and the soldier nodded nervously, and sure enough, as Karl said, followed him closely.

The cave is complicated, and every now and then there will be a fork in the road, so Carl marks the place where the fork is in his notebook and continues to follow the team.

After a few more hours of walking, everyone was tired and ready to rest in a relatively spacious place.

It was a small cave, and there was an underground river in it, and someone unloaded his body, washed his face with water, and tasted it again.

"This water is good, it's sweet!" the man shouted.

A few more people walked over and washed his face with him, and then tasted it again.

The soldier swallowed his saliva and wanted to walk over, but he saw that his two comrades had passed, and smiled at him, "Little Gio, aren't you coming? There are no water monsters in this water!"

"Come here, coward!"

Carl looked at the young man next to him and handed him a bottle of water, "Drink this!"

The soldier took it, didn't drink, but lowered his head not to look at the two soldiers who were laughing at him, Carl patted his arm, "Don't mind, in the field, safety first!"

The soldier looked up and looked at Carl gratefully, "Dr. Karl, when are we going home?"

Carl didn't know how to comfort the homesick kid, but he said, "Soon!"

The soldier seemed relieved, and sat there and began to talk to Carl about his hometown, the pastures, the cows, and an old dog.

Karl didn't interrupt him, and listened patiently to him.

On the other side, the exploration team rested for a while and went to look at the data on the device.

"It seems like it's close, but why is the pointer moving?"

"It should be right here, or nearby!"

"I don't know, let's keep walking or ......"

"Let's see!"

Carl watched them, holding his notebook and recording them, not noticing that the pointer on the radiometer on his waist was shaking desperately.

Half an hour later, the men couldn't figure it out, so they decided to go a little deeper.

The team continued to set off, but as soon as they got out of the cave, they found that it was a dead end, turned around and walked the other way.

And as soon as they entered the fork in the cave road, the underground river, which had been calm before, suddenly made waves, and then it was calm again.

An hour later, someone suddenly said, "Do you feel the temperature rising here?"

The others felt a little hot when they heard it, only to realize that they didn't know when they had been soaked with sweat.

Someone couldn't stand it and took off his clothes and tied them around his waist.

"Is there a volcano?" someone asked, confused.

"How can there be a volcano here? Don't be kidding!" someone next to him immediately retorted.

"But, you see, the water here is lukewarm!"

Again came to a large space, and someone crouched down and reached into the underground river.

Everyone else was curious to test the water, but Carl frowned, and suddenly, he picked up the instrument on his waist and looked at the frantically swinging pointer on it.

"There's too much radiation here, we're going to get out of here!" Karl shouted.

The people from the geological exploration team looked at Carl, "Carl, you are too nervous, this is just a cave, and there are diamonds, where does the radiation come from?"

"Haha......" The man's words drew ridicule from his companions at Carl.

But Carl pursed his lips and looked at them with an extremely serious expression, making his expression look a little gloomy in the light of the headlamp.

When those people saw Carl like this, they gradually put away their ridicule, but they still looked a little disapproving, and walked slowly from the underground river to the side, picking up what they had left on the ground.

"Look!" a man looked at his instrument and shouted loudly, and the people next to him immediately rushed to get up.

"What's going on?"

"This is the Energy Center?"

"But what's here?"

They looked back around, except for the strange rocky landscape and an underground river, and then there were many forks in the road, what was there?

"Right here, everyone scattered and searched!" someone said.

Carl was still standing there, and the young soldier Gio Jr. stood nervously behind him, watching the people in front of him start to get busy.

They knocked around with various tools, and kept changing the direction of their standing with instruments.

"Ahh

A short scream was heard, and a person who had walked inside disappeared in front of everyone's eyes in the blink of an eye.

"Jonny!" someone dropped what they were holding and ran over there.

However, there was only one helmet with a headlamp on the ground, and there was nothing.
