Chapter Ninety-Five: Exploration
Surprisingly, after only a short while, all the "survivors" were left with only the three masters and apprentices in this small lifeboat floating alone on the water.
"What the hell is going on?" Shukang's heart sank, and the whole person was on high alert.
The entire surface of the water returned to calm, and it seemed as if nothing had happened.
The three of them remained silent, remained vigilant, and waited for a long time, but the unknown thing that caused the huge collision just now did not appear again to sweep away the last three "remnants".
"Division...... Master...... A boatload of people, all gone! Are they all dead? She was so nervous that she stuttered, but she couldn't help but be the first to ask.
"I don't know, I don't know how deep it is under this water, what kind of state it is, I can't judge." To tell the truth, she was really only used to being in the swimming pool, and she knew what it was like to gradually deepen from 1 meter to 3 meters, and she didn't know what it was like under the surface of the water that was natural ——— and non-terrestrial landform.
"So what now? Shall we continue to paddle to the sea? Or go back to the docks? Jiaoyue's opinion is very pertinent and objective.
"I want to figure out what's going on down there." At this time, Shu Kang no longer had any longing for spending the night on the beach by the sea, and a major traffic accident that had just occurred in front of him that "killed" so many people urgently needed to figure out the situation.
Lives matter!
In fact, are the people who disappeared really "dead"? This is a result of the book's unwillingness to believe. After all, the first time she jumped into the deep pool when she first came to this ghost place, here is the "Cave of Heaven" here. Therefore, she felt that the disappearance of those people was not "death", but a "means of transportation" to another place, although this way seemed so rude, rude, cruel, and arbitrary as always.
Even if they are all "dead", there must be an explanation!
What's even more strange is that if there are often accidents here that capsize, why is there an endless stream of people rushing here at night? Are they not afraid of death?
Also, when Shu Kang looked in the direction of the seaside, there were no other ferries, no lights, no sea-view houses, resorts, seaside sculptures, windmills, yachts, harbors, etc.
It should be just a piece of pure "wild sea".
Shu Kang feels more and more that the seaside is not the real "destination" of people, but maybe, it is in the water.
Except for the small yellow lifeboat he was riding, there was only a black water surface around him, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
Shukang decided to give it a try.
He took out the wooden hairpin, drew a detector like an "anchor", tied a long rope to the back, and threw it into the water.
This "anchor" floated around in the water, and it seemed that after a long time, the length of the rope had been completely released, and it had not yet reached the end, as if it was floating in the air.
"Come again!" Shu Kang drew a large roll of long rope, estimated to be 100 meters long, tied to the tail of the original rope dragged after the previous "anchor", tied tightly, and threw it down again.
The weight of the rope and anchor together was about to overturn the inflatable small lifeboat, and Shu Kang knew that he had to strengthen his "foundation", so he arranged for the two apprentices to tighten the tail of the rope together, and he freed his hands, and drew a larger and stronger wooden fishing boat next to it.
"Come, come up first! Try again on it. Shu Kang was the first to get on the newly painted wooden boat, tied a safety rope around his waist, and then leaned out, first picked up Mi Qiao and got on the boat, and then took the rope in Jiaoyue's hand, and asked Mi Qiao to take the senior sister to the boat safely.
"Do you want to catch that lifeboat too?" Jiaoyue asked the master.
"No, it's almost time, and it will disappear on its own in a moment. Let's hurry, all of these things I've drawn are only valid for a certain amount of time, and we have to hurry up and complete the next step. Shukang knows that he doesn't have a long time for "scientific exploration", and he doesn't have much time to take care of "art".
"Then master, how long do you set for this wooden boat we are sitting on now?" Mi Qian asked worriedly.
"48 hours, that should be enough. No matter how long it is, I can't help it, at present, in this lowest-level "color food" vegetarian group, a higher time limit cannot be set, which is already the longest time that can be set. Let's find out the answer and escape in this time! ”
It's also very difficult to be bookish, and there are really few things that can be done at this stage, after all, it's too low-end.
Walked to the bow of the boat, threw the "anchor" again, and as soon as the water waves rolled over, only the rope head was left in hand, and the book found that this length was still not enough. Still haven't touched anything.
Again! Shukan tied the end of the rope, and drew a thicker and longer roll, which was 2 or 300 meters long, and after receiving the rope end, he tied it strongly, and then lowered the rope down.
This time, when I put it to about 50 meters long, I found that there was a force that reflected it, and it was no longer the empty feeling of emptiness, but something I had touched.
"Great!" Shu Kang and the two apprentices worked hard together, and then pulled the rope up, and it took a long time for some messy things hanging from the anchor head, revealing the water.
"See what?" Shu Kang was very curious, what was the situation below the sample taken this time, and saw that the double hook of the anchor tip hooked up a bunch of plants that looked like aquatic plants, and there was a gelatinous earth-like thing gathered at the roots.
This lump of soil is particularly strange, its texture touches, like soft and delicate glutinous rice flour for rice balls, after scooping up, although the surface is a layer of oily water, but it is broken from the middle, kneaded, inside, it is actually dry, and the lower it is, the drier.
What kind of soil is this? How can there be such a feature? In other words, it bears the water, but forms a "water barrier" with the lower layer, that is, below this layer of "glutinous rice soil", is a dry world?
It's unimaginable that under such a large area of water, there will be some dry and possibly even hollow "other caves"? In other words, it is very likely that those people who fell into the water just now broke through this layer of water barrier and entered another place?
Thinking about it this way, Shu Kang felt that it was very likely, so he decided to try a few more faces and take samples in many places to make a comprehensive judgment.
Then we found 5 approximately equidistant points from the surrounding sides of the hull, and cast them 5 times respectively, and the result was:
