Chapter 16 Capsule Track
Tony replied, "I really don't know about this, I have to consult the headquarters?" ”
Zhang Zhaowei didn't continue to ask Tony about the next thing, in the face of this captain, so far we have only briefly met, thinking of this, I can't help but ask about the captain.
"Captain Tony. You're at headquarters every day, have you ever heard about the Cataclysmic Man, or more about our mission? ”
Tony's face was a little heavy, and after a moment of recollection, he said to us, "Yes, yes, it was a long time ago about the agents, when I was not promoted, and the cataclysms had already blocked all news. It's not as easy as going back for agents. ”
"Oh? What is that? How many came back? ”
"Come back? I don't know, I just know that it's about three-quarters of the way to America. All the members lost contact, including the convoy, and they said that there seemed to be a signal blockade, and after that, there was no news at all......"
Tony's words stunned everyone, we didn't know the news, in this case, we were near the Americas, and we lost contact with the headquarters to a large extent, so everything had to be improvised.
"Huh? No way! So what are we going to do? Erha also began to get anxious.
Tony continued: "No way. If we are all infected in the disaster area, we really have no power to return to the sky, you also know the strength of the other party, we are not at the same level at all, this time it is just a fluke, at least work hard, even if we find a way to slow down their progress, it will be beneficial to us! ”
Everyone slowly regained their composure, and Tony said the same, this is also a last delaying tactic, try again, everyone acquiesced to his opinion, and each fell asleep with a heavy heart.
The next morning, the weather was slightly cool, and the temperature at high altitude was a little unbearable, everyone got up early, the captain counted the number of people, and then ordered everyone to eat something and prepare to leave.
Comrade Hongxiao didn't know when he had already gotten up, and he had just come in from outside, so it seemed that he had gone out for a casual walk or morning exercise.
Everyone hurriedly had breakfast and came to the elevator.
The elevator is an industrial elevator, a large elevator for transportation, we left two team members to drive, and the rest of the people entered the elevator.
After half an hour, we reached the bottom and the elevator picked up to take the transport vehicle.
After exiting the elevator, there is a tool room and a lounge, followed by a door to the main tunnel.
We did not stagnate, went into the tunnel.
The tunnel suddenly opens up, with an arched structure, about a few hundred meters wide upwards, with a large circular track in the middle, translucent structure, divided into four tunnels, each about 3 meters high, each with its own compressed track.
The tunnel goes left and right, and one side leads to the exit point, so I guess I have to walk a few kilometers away.
After a while, the team members drove down the battle-ready off-road, and we got into the off-road vehicle in two teams.
According to the signs, we drove along the platforms on both sides to the inside of the tunnel, and according to the captain's information, the maintenance passage should be near the entrance of the tunnel into the sea.
The captain told us that this air capsule tunnel was developed decades ago, due to the huge cross-sea project, the slow progress of the project, and the delay in operation, just about to enter the operation stage, but the catastrophic area erupted, if there is no change, we don't have to be so troublesome to reach the distance of the Americas, it is about ten minutes.
While we marveled at the enormity of this project, we didn't know how long it would take to drive.
Not only did the tunnel get narrower and narrower, but soon it came to the fork in the maintenance road.
The maintenance passage is adjacent to the main tunnel, with a circular structure, about four meters wide. There is still room to go into a car twice and there is still room to spare.
After parking, Captain Tony instructed the team to find the power-on equipment.
There are energized equipment scattered in the maintenance tunnel, and each section has a backup motor for each section.
In this way, we light up a section at intervals and continue to drive.
I don't know how long I slept, and everyone fell asleep in the depressing environment......
……
"Tatsuko, wake up!"
I was woken up by Erha. Still in a daze......
"Are we there?"
"No, get up and eat......"
"Oh......"
I looked at the time, about one or two o'clock in the afternoon, and asked about the progress.
We were not slow to repair the straight line of the tunnel, and we developed electrical equipment in every place where there was no light, and drove it a total of 3 times.
Next, into the deepest part of the ocean, both tunnels are suspended in the air, and through the translucent tunnel walls, you can see that the periphery of the tunnels is densely packed with marine parasites, and occasionally you can see the depths through the gaps.
We stopped to eat and rest.
"Hey, Tatsuko, you said that if this was made completely transparent, it would be nice to open an aquarium, really." Erha took a flashlight and shot it out of the tunnel wall.
"Aquarium? Such a small aquarium? That doesn't put people out of depression. Hong Xiao said angrily.
"That's right, Tony." I turned around and asked the captain.
"You say this tunnel is suspended in the air. What if there is a large marine creature impact? ”
"There should be a device to prevent creatures from approaching, right? Our troops have similar devices to prevent birds or fish. Tony's determined look was reassuring.
……
"Put the light out!"
I don't know who shouted, which surprised everyone.
"Hurry up!" Zhang Zhaowei's tone was mixed with anger and shouted again.
Erha and Hongxiao and I extinguished the light source around us almost at the same time, and the team members extinguished the light source one after another under the command of the captain.
"What's the matter, Comrade Zhang, have you found anything?" Captain Tony asked, confused.
"As far as I know, the tunnel's biocontainment system is all over the tunnel, but I understand that this kind of equipment needs to be powered on."
Zhang Zhaowei continued: "We are now in the deep part of the seabed. The deeper the place, the darker the light, and the trappers tend to ...... through the light."
Everyone suddenly sighed, if the light just now attracted the trappers, or the large octopus, the giant shark on the bottom of the sea, or something, and smashed the tunnel, we haven't left the mission yet, and it would be a great loss to come directly to the group to annihilate.
"It's better to have contact points in all fields, and all kinds of dangers can be prevented in advance." The captain couldn't help but admire the comrade in front of him.
"It can't be such a coincidence, besides, the tunnels are entangled in strange things, just a little gap, and it won't be ......" Erha's questioning voice came from behind.
Suddenly the unexpected happened......
"Bang!"
There was a loud bang.
The whole tunnel shuddered.
"Not good! It's already here."
"Get in the car!"
