Chapter 133: Falling into a deep well

Mark's brain was blank, and his five senses seemed to be completely closed at this moment, and the maintenance channel was instantly shattered under the powerful external force, as if a giant hand struck violently, smashing the fragile reinforced concrete pipe, and countless stones fell with Mark, and nothing could be seen below, it was the same endless pitch black as the depths of the drilling.

At the last moment of escape, fate played a huge joke on them, and there was an explosion inside the drilling platform.

The temperature at the bottom of the well continued to rise, eventually reaching an ultra-high temperature of nearly 2,000 degrees, in which the situation was reversed, and the water could no longer be cooled down, but instead became an accelerant, and the water injected into the fracture at the bottom of the well was broken down into hydrogen and oxygen by high temperature and pressure.

A large amount of oxygen not only played a role in combustion, and after being fully mixed with hydrogen, there was a big explosion like the one just now, although the command on the ground stopped injecting cooling water in time, but the steam that had already existed in the drilling well could not be discharged, and they would soon be transformed into a **, which was detonated in the bell mouth of the drilling platform by high temperature.

Of course, Mark couldn't think of all this, he couldn't think anymore, the impact of the explosion deprived him of the ability to think, at this time he couldn't do anything like the stones that fell together, Mark couldn't do anything but fall into the abyss like the stones.

Mark has never felt the world so vast, because at this moment there is nothing in the space he is in, no walls and roofs to block his view, and there are no tall buildings, haze, white clouds, or even sky and earth in the distance.

There is nothing there.

Like those things that have disappeared, everything here is nothing, as if you are in the depths of the deep sea, no...... It's different, there are very small life in the deep sea, there is water, there is heat, there is darkness.

Even the darkness is gone.

The world around is basically pitch black, not blank, at the farthest end of the line of sight can see distorted color blocks and lines, they are constantly changing, but there seems to be no change, looking at them for a long time, I feel that my thinking has also been affected, the more I try to understand all this, the deeper I sink, there is no way to get the truth, there is no way to get out, I can only continue to be like this, constantly falling slowly in the crazy world of nothing.

What color are they?

Mark also wanted to know, this was the last thing he could understand, he couldn't tell what color the patches were, he wanted to say it, but the words got stuck in his mouth, he found that he didn't know what color it was, it was so familiar, like a distant memory about a certain day, try to think about it, as if you could catch it, but it will slip out of your hand anyway.

He finally gave up, he didn't know what color it was, maybe it was a color he hadn't seen before, people had only seen the color that we could recognize in our world, our eyes could only recognize the color in our genes, the light hit an object and it was reflected into our eyes, and then the brain told us what color it was.

The sky is always blue and deep, is that its true color?

Is it the color it is, or is it just the color we think it is?

Genes tell us that meat and wild fruits are delicious, so we will seek to eat them, instead of eating stones, dirt, and wood, and eventually the creatures that think meat is delicious survive, while those who eat dirt are eliminated.

Genes allow us to see everything in the world based on the three primary colors, so we think that this is real, this is the original appearance of the world, is this really real?

Or those creatures who can see the real world, who have long since died, but we who are all in front of us can survive.

What is the world? Mark remembered this quote from Sophie's World, which he had watched as a child.

He couldn't answer, just as he couldn't answer what the color was, maybe it wasn't a question he could answer, not a creature like a human being.

God's most merciful design is that all people's thoughts and memories cannot be connected and connected. If you know that there is a terrifying cave in the depths of the sea or at the bottom of the abyss, it doesn't mean that you have to sail to explore, and you don't need to empathize with the fears and dangers that countless adventurers have experienced.

Mark tried to empty himself, no longer to think, no longer to perceive, but he couldn't, he found that he had no eyelids, and when he felt it carefully, he realized that he had no body, he tried to put his hand in front of him, but there was nothing in front of him.

A void of me in a world of nothingness?

"Knock !!"

With a loud thud, he finally woke up with a return of balance.

"Am I alive?" That was Mark's first thought, and soon his question was answered, and the sharp pain in his chest told him that he was alive, but that he was no better than the dead, at least not the dead felt the pain.

After the pain was too intense to think about, Mark struggled to his feet, and Nina fainted next to him, not much better off than he was, but still alive.

"How many meters did I fall......" Mark touched the protective suit on his body, and at the moment of the fall, he felt that the huge impact was dispersed to every corner of his body, and after being absorbed by the material of the protective suit, only a small point was borne by himself.

Even this shock almost killed Mark, Nina must have opened the airbag at the last moment, with Mark underneath it, and she had two layers of protection to slow down the impact, so she survived.

"Alliance technology, shocking." Mark touched the dress and smiled bitterly.

This protective suit is not a professional prospecting overalls, but a spacesuit, which was designed with high temperatures, severe cold and accidental impacts in mind, but Mark didn't expect it to be able to absorb such a strong impact.

Soon Nina also woke up, and after the two of them recovered, Nina realized what had happened, and fell into despair, there was already an explosion outside, and it was not far from the complete eruption of the volcano, they were trapped in this place, even if they survived now, how long would they live?

"It doesn't seem to be hot here, though, so we shouldn't be in the access tunnel...... Where is this? Mark looked around, but the light was so bad that he couldn't see anything.

"We must have fallen through the cracks, and I don't know where this is."
