Chapter 232: Sea Exploration
On the tranquil sea, the ridge waves swayed one after the other, stirring up sparkling waves. From near to far, the endless blue waves and the boundless sky merge into a vast dome, making it difficult for people to distinguish the sea and sky with the naked eye, everything is so comfortable and melodious. It's just that those who sail on the sea clearly understand that the calm at this moment is only the sea accumulating strength, and it may launch the next wild attack at any time and at any time.
This sea area is not very peaceful.
"Are you alright?" Wearing a special waterproof overcoat, the man looked at the sea line in the distance, then turned to look at Ye Nuan, who looked a little ugly, and frowned and asked.
They had just experienced a wave that almost knocked their ship over at sea, and then they were hit by varying degrees of severity, and almost capsized in this sea, so no one underestimated this seemingly calm sea area anymore. Floating on the sea is always much more dangerous than on land, not to mention that this area is too weird, and the local microclimate is difficult for even the probe to fully detect, and they have now adjusted the forward speed of the sea spacecraft to the minimum to avoid the sudden storm that will cause the spacecraft to capsize.
"It's fine." Ye Nuan shook his head with a pale face and replied.
In the previous life, she almost didn't encounter any problems when she went to the sky and entered the sea, but as a result, she was reborn in this life, and she never expected that the original owner's body would be seasick, especially in this sea area, which made her stomach churn constantly, which was really difficult. Also, no wonder she searched the memory of the original owner, and she didn't find that the other party had the experience of taking a boat, it was she who took it this time, but now there is no turning back, so she can only go straight to Huanglong.
Just now, the white waves swelled and slapped on the sea, causing many things in the deep sea to be brought up, among which there was a smell that Ye Nuan was disgusted to smell, thinking of this, Ye Nuan spoke again.
"Not far away, in the sea, I smelled a very strong smell of rotting corpses, mixed with the sea breeze. It should have been rolled up from the bottom of the sea, so let's get an instrument and go down to see it. ”
At this time, the man had already obtained the anti-sickness medicine from the accompanying military doctor, and handed it to Ye Nuan, but he disagreed, "I will deal with it, you go to the cabin to rest." ”
"No, you don't understand what I mean, the sea breeze smells of rotting corpses, not rotting plants. Corpses, human corpses. What does seawater mean that it can dilute a lot of things without diluting the smell? Many people died under this sea. Corpses accumulate in Haiti without dissipating their smell, and over time they can form a trapped corpse field. The big murderer. If it's a serious situation, you won't be able to handle it. Ye Nuan said with a solemn expression.
Originally, when she heard Song Ya talk about this place, Ye Nuan vaguely felt that something was wrong.
When Song Ya went out to look for various materials for the Pharmaceutical Research Institute, when she passed through this area, the spaceship suddenly failed and crashed here, so this was her first encounter with the ghost grass. At that time, Song Ya and the others immediately checked the spaceship they were on after the forced landing, but they didn't find anything special, everyone couldn't find the reason, and saw that the spaceship happened to be parked in a primeval forest, so they began to look for those creatures nearby, and if they met valuable, they could also pick them down and make specimens.
However, this primeval forest was very different from the other forests that Song Ya and the others had visited, this place was very strange, it was only open at noon every day, and the rest of the time it was completely obscured by a thick layer of fog. At first, no one realized that something was wrong, only that it was the microclimate unique to this forest. After just staying for a few days, Song Ya and the others, who were constantly going deep into the dense forest, finally noticed that something was wrong. They had been in this primeval forest for so many days, and the daily search for new species was not a short walk, but they did not find a single living creature along the way, except for dense vegetation.
At this stage, most of the uninhabited areas exist because of the harsh environment, so there are no organisms, and this is not completely absent, no matter how arid the desert, there are also its 'indigenous people'. However, this primeval forest has refreshed the understanding of the earth's environment by a group of researchers, and it turns out that there is really a place where only plants can live, and there are no insects and animals, is it because the environment is not suitable? But it's strange that they've been here for so many days and haven't felt anything wrong with their bodies.
But when they collected some data and planned to return home, they finally found out that there was a problem.
Their spaceship is inseparable from this place, obviously they didn't find any problems after the previous maintenance, and after opening it, they can only fly at a low altitude, but they can't break through the dense forest at all. This is sad for everyone, although the food on the spaceship is sufficient, but after staying in the primeval forest for a long time, all day long in front of them is green in addition to green, and their eyes are almost green, even if they can endure the boring scientific research life, they also have a bad feeling for such an environment. Moreover, this primeval forest often rains in torrential rains, and the water cannot completely penetrate into the ground, often forming a turbulent current on the ground, which almost knocks down the spaceship they are parked on the ground several times, forcing them to float in mid-air under the heavy rain. So even if there's no threat of mutant creatures here, the climate alone isn't very nice.
Fortunately, one day the sun bloomed, and the clouds and mist over the dense forest dispersed a lot, and everyone saw that the weather was very good, so they wanted to try to see if their spaceship could start normally. Countless start-up failures made everyone not very hopeful about this flight, and they planned to send a distress signal to wait for rescue if they couldn't start the spacecraft again. However, they were delighted with the results of this attempt, and the ship flew away from the dense forest, finally able to embrace the sun.
Afraid that they would never be able to get out again if there was an accident next time, the people on the spaceship summoned all the people who went out to investigate the plants and left the primeval forest directly. Because the forest was a little weird, the plants living in it were not uncommon, so everyone didn't take it to heart. Even Song Ya probably wouldn't have remembered this experience if it hadn't been for the attack that night. However, she didn't expect that the beautiful creatures she found in the depths of the dense forest would have such terrifying power, and even involve such a matter that could threaten the survival of the empire.
"If we can't cope with it, we will also find a way, otherwise without monks, ordinary people will not live? You go in first and rest for a while, I'll watch. I'll come back to you when the news comes back. "Because of the violent movement on the sea, there is no room for people to stand on the deck and continue to check, at this moment, except for Ye Nuan and the others, everyone else has already entered the room. Seeing that Ye Nuan was still holding on when his physical condition was very bad, Song Ning's tone couldn't help but turn cold.
Seeing that the man's face sank directly, but his body needed to be adjusted, Ye Nuan still nodded and agreed to go into the cabin to rest.
However, after taking the anti-dizziness medicine and taking a short rest, the man walked in and woke Ye Nuan from his light sleep.
"We'll find out what's on the bottom of the sea."
"Huh?" Just woke up, Ye Nuan was still a little groggy and didn't react. However, seeing the transparent test tube handed over by the man, there was dark black silt deposited under the pale yellow liquid inside, and there were incomprehensible crumbs shaking in the middle, Ye Nuan woke up in a flash.
"You didn't say that there are a lot of dead bodies piled up underground in this sea, and this is part of the corpse mud."
Song Ning didn't pity the fragrance or jade at this time, although ordinary women would avoid this disgusting thing when they saw it, but maybe this thing would be useful to Ye Nuan, so he still took it.
But he didn't want Ye Nuan to take it at all, so he glanced at it and said angrily, "Don't give it to me, if you like it, take it yourself." ”
Even though I'm a cultivator, I still retain my feminine nature, and it's really hard to accept this disgusting thing. What's more, just by smelling the smell, she could also know that it was an old corpse that had been deposited for decades, and all the flesh and bones had merged into a lump of mud, and it was unbearable to be through a layer of glass, let alone approach it with her hands.
"Hmm......"
Stimulated by Ye Nuan's disgusted tone, the man was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said, "I don't like it either." ”
"If you don't like it, throw it away, this thing is not good for your body if you contact it for a long time, and it is easy to cause an imbalance of yin and yang, and then evil qi enters the body. Now there is such a thing in the outermost part of the sea, which means that the closer you are to the center of the sea, the more corpses there are, and even the longer it is, the more evil qi gathers. Maybe the deeper we go inside, the more people will be affected, such as hallucinating and so on. However, I have already set up a few things before the ship, so I should be able to avoid 'them' for a while. ”
Ye Nuan didn't say exactly what 'they' was, but this pronoun wasn't very good when he heard it, and Song Ning didn't ask much, but his eyebrows and eyes were slightly constricted, and his mood was a little depressed. He thought that his omega would still care about him a little, after all, Ye Nuan's attitude towards him during this time was really much better than before, he thought that they could get in touch further, but he was disliked......
"Fault." Seeing Song Ning leaving with a bit of a sullen step, Ye Nuan muttered to himself.
But when the sound fell, she fell into deep thought again, sometimes turning her head to look at the sea outside the window, sometimes lowering her head and finally chattering, and her slender and pure fingers were constantly flying, as if she was calculating something.
"Go six hundred meters to the northeast, first go around the figure eight and wade through the reef, and then go over." Ye Nuan broke into the cockpit of the spaceship and said to the person on the other end of the cockpit.
The people of the entire sea spaceship were Song Ning's own personal guards, and they only obeyed his orders, and had nothing to do with the royal family. So although everyone doesn't know Ye Nuan's specific identity, through the attitude of their own big boss towards Ye Nuan, they still vaguely know some secrets that can't be said. Seeing that Ye Nuan suddenly entered the cockpit, the surrounding guards didn't stop him much, of course, with Ye Nuan's speed, they couldn't stop it if they wanted to.
"What's new?" Seeing that Ye Nuan's face was a little solemn, he came in and directly commanded the route, the man pursed his thin lips, and after explaining a few words to the driver, he walked towards Ye Nuan and asked.
"Hmm." Ye Nuan nodded, didn't hide his emotions at all, and said directly, "Under the sea is an ancient city that has gone through thousands of years, and for unknown reasons, it has sunk under the sea for at least a thousand years. As for why no information has been found in advance, and the reason for the presence of such a large number of carrion corpses on the seabed, this remains to be inquired. ”
"Is it a means of cultivating the true realm?" The man asked.
Because of Zhuge Qingming's affairs, Song Ning extremely distrusted cultivators, except for Ye Nuan, so when he encountered those things that science couldn't explain on this trip, he could only ask Ye Nuan.
Ye Nuan nodded affirmatively, "I think so." To put it simply, this sea area is what we call a 'secret realm', through a certain time and a certain entrance location, you can enter it smoothly, and if you don't have time, people who enter it can't leave. Just now, I combined the regional environment and some things to calculate the location of the nearest passage, so let's take a look first. ”
The man lowered his eyes for a moment before saying, "What do we need to do?" ”
"Wait, wait with peace of mind." Ye Nuan's tone was distant and authentic.
She knew that it was inevitable that the place where the ghost grass grew would be difficult for humans to set foot in, and it should not be underestimated, but as the alien orcs said before, as soon as the ghost grass came out, it brought out the holy relics in their clan, and maybe there were even other things, if you didn't go to see it, no one would know what kind of secret there was behind the ghost grass.
About half an hour later, the driver followed Ye Nuan's words and entered the designated place.
Ye Nuan looked out the window and asked, "What did you find?" ”
"The seabed mud collected along the way shows that the deeper you go, the more you accumulate the corpses, and the age of the corpses is getting farther and farther away, from the last few years to hundreds of years ago. And ......," the man said, pausing.
"And what?"
"We suspect that the dead bodies at the bottom of the sea are all omegas."
Ye Nuan immediately frowned, looking incredulous, "Can this also be found out?" No, there are so many corpses on the bottom of the sea, if they are all omegas, how can there be such a huge number? ”
Since the implementation of the genetic modification program by human beings, the number of omegas that can really inherit the gene chain for humans has been limited, and it has been extremely rare, and the number of new omegas every year is extremely rare, otherwise there would be no omega concentration camps, and there would not be so many people/rights, requiring omegas to marry when they reach adulthood, and then they can leave the concentration camp to live with their husbands. Now, because of the contributions of several outstanding omegas in history, the status of this group has begun to slowly improve, and they do not need to be systematically screened to arrange marriage, but they choose the one they like more among the alphas who are more genetically suitable. Of course, 'wild' omegas also exist, such as Ye Nuan, such as the previous Rong Heng, but there are very few examples of a stable life like them, and most of the 'wild' omegas are mostly bought on the black market for people to vent their beasts/desires and some poor people's tools to conceive offspring.
But it is so unusual for such a large amount of omega to suddenly appear on the bottom of the sea.
"Are you sure the test results are correct?" Ye Nuan asked again.
The man's chin tapped, "Several areas were examined, and all of them were the same result." ”
"So, the corpses of the Omega have been deposited in this place since hundreds of years ago? But wasn't the human genetic modification program just implemented thousands of years ago? It has only been hundreds of years since mankind became what it is now. Could it be that this was the Omega Tomb from the beginning? (To be continued.) )
