Chapter 4: The Underwater World

Although he was prepared to accept any strange things that happened, Zhang Ming was still taken aback.

When I felt that my feet had fallen on the solid ground and no longer sinking, everything around me became clear: it was indeed an underwater world, the lights were extremely bright, and Zhang Ming and many of the students who fell with him seemed to be in the middle of a huge square. Around the square, you can see shadowy buildings, which are much taller than those on land. There were some humanoid creatures swimming or walking between them, and one of them walked up to Zhang Ming's side, and Zhang Ming was so frightened that he almost screamed: what kind of "person" was that: the head, body, and limbs were the same, but the head was round, the two ears were large and long, standing up like a rabbit, the top of the head had horns like a rhinoceros, the nose had only two holes, the mouth was almost none, only a linear lip, the eyes were large and round, accounting for one-third of the face, there was no hair and eyebrows, or there was no half hair on the whole body, Some are huge carp-like scales, which cover the entire body from the neck down, and are very colorful; The limbs are slender and have fingers and toes, but the difference between them is that there are duck-like webs between the fingers and toes.

The undersea man walked to Zhang Ming's side and stopped for a few seconds, didn't seem to see anything wrong, and quickly walked towards another person. There was not the slightest expression on his face, and I wondered if they had no expression at all.

At the same time, the sound of the urn sounded again:

"Dear landers, there is a remote control at the top of the back of your head, please take off the remote control with your hands, the red upper orchid is attached to your wrist, there is an indication on it, please take a minute to familiarize yourself with the operation, and the scientific instructor will signal the following teams."

The language of the seafarers is concise and clear. What Zhang Ming couldn't figure out was why it didn't sound repeated in his ears, but it was Chinese, how could students from other countries understand it? The only explanation is that the cover around you has a synchronous translation function. No, there is a remote control device on the head, and it seems that the technology level of the people on the sea is much higher than that of the people on land...... No, the tourist cap was obtained on the ship, could it be that the landers have long been connected with the people on the seabed? So why is such a shocking piece of news so tightly sealed? If this is the case, many questions will be answered.

The people in the cover next to him have moved. Zhang Ming didn't dare to delay, stretched out his hand and groped for a while on the top of his head, feeling that there was a slight protrusion in one place, at most a millimeter. He groped around the protrusion, which felt like a strip the length and width of his index finger. Pick it off with your fingernails and take it to your eyes, this thing is very exquisite: thin as cicada wings are transparent, both soft and hard, folded and bent, thrown without flashing, a red basket, there are eight logos on it, of which the front and back left and right are represented by arrows, at a glance, there are up and down arrows in the middle of the other two circles, it is estimated that they are floating and falling, and the bottom is plus and minus signs, probably the meaning of acceleration and stopping.

Zhang Ming attached the remote control to his wrist, and the adhesive on the back of the remote control was also magical: it didn't feel sticky when it was held in his hand, but it was very firm on his wrist. He tried to click on what he thought was floating, and sure enough, his feet were floating upwards from the ground, and he quickly pressed the minus sign again, immediately stopped moving, and then pressed the descending sign again, and returned to the ground. Looking at the people around me, everyone was trying the remote control, moving up and down, left and right, back and forth. Until then they had been as immobile as if they had been frozen. Originally, I thought that people would sway with the current in the sea, but in fact, the water in the deep sea is very calm, and it is almost immovable.

The undersea man looked at twenty people around Zhang Ming in a row, pointed out to one of them, and another undersea man swam up and used something to suck the hood of the person being instructed, and dragged him to an unknown place outside the square, and the rest came to Zhang Ming and stood in a row under the signal of the undersea man.

The underwater world? Undersea people?

There are too many facts beyond Zhang Ming's cognition these days.

From the lottery to the shipwrecks without warning, to the tourist hats, the underwater world, and the strange underwater people...... All this made him believe that there is nothing strange in this world!

Human thinking is often very interesting: when a strange thing happens, it may be thought about for a long time, but a series of strange things happen that are not strange, which is probably related to the "learned helplessness" in psychology.

Zhang Ming is like this now, from the time he almost screamed when he saw the undersea man to the time when he left, he has calmed down. He had the leisure to raise his wrist to look at his watch. The Swiss watches that the deep-sea company bought for everyone are of good grade, with luminous and calendars. He roughly calculated: from the time the shipwreck fell into the sea to the present, nearly an hour has passed, and the speed of the descent should now be at least 15,000 meters below the seabed. This depth is simply impossible for humans to detect, so it's no wonder that humans don't know anything about the existence of another world at the bottom of the sea!

"Please follow the scientific guide into the scrubber." When they come to the underwater world, it seems that the speaker is talking to them. It is estimated that the people on the sea do not know the terrestrial language...... Zhang Ming just thought so, and the undersea man standing in front of him spoke in great surprise:

"Please follow me in line order."

The pronunciation of the undersea man is very strange, the mouth is not open, or the mouth part is just a symbolic thin line, there is no mouth at all, the pronunciation part seems to come from the body, the body is either installed with a horn, or there is a resonance cavity, like the sound of the voice from the radio. Think about it, if you open your mouth to talk in the water, you won't be choked to death by the water immediately!

Zhang Ming's team was originally twenty people, but for some reason one was taken away, and there were nineteen people left. They each operated the remote control to follow the so-called "scientific guide", but in fact, they were not walking at all, but just drifting forward behind them. Dozens of such teams in the square floated in one direction.

The first thing you do when you go to the underwater world is to get washed?

Zhang Ming, who was not surprised, didn't want to think much about it at this time. His current mood is to let everything go with it, take it one step at a time. Having survived a shipwreck in the Atlantic, he has long put life and death on the line. If you stay at the bottom of the sea for the rest of your life, you will be depressed, but it is better to die than to live, not to mention how many people can have the experience of the underwater world? If you return to land from the bottom of the sea one day, this experience can be shocking!

So wash it or not, let it go.

Zhang Ming's team was the first to arrive in front of a building on the edge of the square, and the scientific instructor let out a sound like "feather" and "duck", and the huge roller door turned. It is said that it is a "drum door", but this door is indeed like the drum of a drum washing machine, but the difference is that the poke of the washing machine is horizontal, while it is upright, and there are many round eyes on it, which shine with colorful light from the inside out. Zhang Ming learned from the scientific instructor to stand in front of the drum, and the rotation of the drum led him to the building. There are no stairs or elevators in the building, and standing in the middle of the building, there are layers of doors all around, and the doors are all roller-shaped. Looking up, the building is at least 50 stories high, and the reason for the light is that you can't see the top at a glance.

The scientific instructor led them up from the ground and directly to the twenty floors. This way of walking is a flat corridor on land. The sea can float, and if it is flipped 90 degrees, it is equivalent to a flat corridor, and of course there is no need for objects such as elevators.

Enter a huge room, which is empty. The science instructor opened a side room and motioned for Zhang Ming, who was in the first place, to enter.

The interior is about 100 square meters, and in the center stands a circular glass cover like a water tower, and there are seats in the cover, and there are many complex high-end equipment on the seats that Zhang Ming seems to have seen in science fiction movies. From the top of the hood spirals down a thick colored plastic wire, the transparent plastic wire seems to be wrapped in a golden copper wire. A beautiful helmet is attached to the bottom of the plastic wire.

Zhang Ming felt as if the glass cover had a suction force, and he was slowly sucking himself into its big belly.

"Bo'er~" There was a sound in his ears, and Zhang Ming entered the glass tower. He was amazed to find that the small hood around him had changed back into a tourist hat, and it was so fast that he didn't have time to see how it changed back, and there was no seawater in it.

"Please remove the hat and put it on the panel on the back of the chair."

A beautiful female voice prompts.
