Chapter 328: Rise and Fall
"What's going on?"
Faced with this situation, Mawson is really a little hairy.
He went back the way he came, and only an arrow step came to the edge of the cave entrance, and when he touched the slightly warm rock wall, Mawson couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
What he is most afraid of is being stuck on the way, and he can't get out if he can't get up, but since he can still leave, he feels a little at ease.
All the way down, according to Mawson's estimates, he should have reached a very deep place in the ground, at least 10,000 meters above the ground.
Although no specific research has been done, at this distance, the pressure inside the earth is absolutely terrifying, and the temperature can easily reach more than 5,000 degrees.
Mawson's physique is superhuman, and he has the ability to be immune to ordinary flames, but even so, it is impossible for him to survive in this extreme environment.
So for the current environment in which he is located, Mawson is also a little strange.
The species distribution of the entire Skull Island is completely different from the rest of the world, and even the underground seems to be independent of the whole world.
Without further on, Mawson stood at the edge of the cave and looked forward.
The city-like factories are in full swing, and you can't really see or hear any sound. But the impact of the steel collision and the sense of strength tangled with flesh and blood are still full of pressure.
Mawson was sure that what he saw was definitely just the tip of the iceberg, and that where he couldn't see, there should be a much wider space.
Activate the flying skateboard he was carrying, and under his control, the flying skateboard accelerates and flies towards the other end of the platform.
"Whoosh!"
After the sound of a breaking wind, no other sound could be heard in Mawson's ears.
The flying skateboard was still in his field of vision, but as time went on, his handling of the skateboard became more and more sluggish, apparently due to the increased distance that affected his sensitivity.
Finally, after the skateboard had flown some distance, the signals between each other had become intermittent, and Mawson changed modes to recall the skateboard.
"Whoosh!"
In just an instant, the skateboard appeared in front of Mawson's eyes, and if he hadn't held it in his hand immediately, he would have been knocked into it.
"It doesn't seem that my perception is skewed, the distance is really generated, but I can't see it."
Mawson frowned.
"But why did you come back so quickly?" He shook his head, really not figuring out why.
"You have to set up an observation point here and find a way to test it again."
Not wanting to risk his life, Mawson left the marker, turned around and left, and it didn't take long for him to return to the surface.
As soon as he came out, he happened to meet Brooks, and when he saw Mawson, he strode over.
"What's the matter?" Mawson asked.
"I've found something amazing!" Brooks handed Mawson a piece of paper.
"Here's a multi-angle view of Skull Island that I scanned with a new device!"
"Viewed from the sky, Skull Island looks like a human head, which is one of the reasons it was named Skull in the first place."
"But look at this one."
Brooks explained to Mawson as he pulled out another drawing.
"It's a flat view, so we can clearly see Skull Island under the water."
Mawson frowned slightly, the skull island under the sea looked like a human frontal skull, and the area of the island was embedded in the skull, shaped like a crown.
The details of this picture are amazing, and it is no longer a coincidence that can be explained.
"According to my guess, the island will move in the next few days, and when this part of the area that resembles a crown is completely exposed to the sea level, maybe something terrible will happen!"
"Are you sure it's the last few days?" Mawson looked skeptical.
To be honest, Brooks has changed the date of the island's move several times in a row recently, and everyone was still nervous at first, but now there is a feeling of impatience.
"I'm sure, it's going to be these days!"
"Okay, trust you again, you go and inform Tuka so that he can prepare in advance, and there is one more thing, I need some advice from you." As he spoke, Mawson recounted what happened underground.
"That's impossible, judging from the scanned map, the entire part of Skull Island below sea level is definitely not 10,000 meters."
"How can you possibly explore space below 10,000 meters?"
"Mawson, in this claustrophobic environment, there will be problems with people's perception, you must have miscalculated." Brooks said categorically.
Mawson shook his head, "That's impossible, it's not in a straight line, but my perception can't go wrong." ”
Brooks was momentarily speechless.
"I don't know, maybe there's overlap in space, maybe it's space-time vortex or something, anyway, maybe it's too much, I need more detailed data."
Seeing that Mawson was firm, Brooks thought about it and gave some opinions, after three years of getting along, he knows something about Mawson, and he is by no means a person who talks big for the sake of face.
"Okay, don't worry about this beforehand, I'll send someone to clear a safe passage first, and then ......" Before Mawson could finish speaking, suddenly the mountain shook, and everything in front of him shook with it.
"Earthquake?" Brooks was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
"The island is starting to move up!"
The tremor lasted for a day and a night, and the animals on the island became frenzied, and in the western part of the island, one skeleton crawler after another emerged from the ground.
Mawson instructed Conrad to lead the men to shrink the defense, and he and King Kong to defend against the western line.
After a few battles, King Kong was already completely familiar with the long stick in his hand, and with this murder weapon in hand, many skeleton creepers of his size could not withstand his full strength.
Coupled with Mawson on the side, the two worked together to block the skull crawler's crazy counterattack.
The battle lasted from noon to the early morning of the next day, and the battery level in Mawson's body dropped below the warning line, and even Ryoko Tamiya devoured the brains of several monsters in a row to replenish energy.
King Kong was even more bruised all over his body, his body was covered with criss-crossing scars, the elbow of his left hand was almost bitten off, his armor was completely damaged, and the Monkey King stick was completely scrapped.
In the final battle, the two of them worked together to take out a giant skeleton creeper, and it was at that time that King Kong's left hand was injured.
Not only is this skeleton creeper huge, but it can also spit out a stream of black slime from its mouth, which can corrode a large hole in the metal in an instant, and is definitely a leader-level existence.
After its death, the monster's raging tide was completely over, and the vibrations that had lasted all day stopped.
Looking down from the sky, the area of the island has expanded a large circle, and after learning about the situation on the island, Mawson immediately returned to the depths of the earth.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but he always feels that he seems to be closer to the underground factory!
