Chapter 064: Aircraft Cemetery
After leaving a message on the stone platform that only my own people could understand, I set off again, grasping the stone cracks in the cave wall and moving towards the bottom of the cave. I put a remote spotlight on my head and watched the situation below as I cautiously moved forward.
After spending so much time in the cave, I got to know a little bit about the cave. In addition to the decrease in gravity, there is also an upward flow of air, and it seems that there must be a lot of space underneath, and it is very likely that there are other exits that are connected to the underground.
It is not difficult to descend downward, and with a little effort on the rock wall, the body can slide out for several meters. However, after moving about three or four hundred meters, I felt that the gravity was strengthening, and I no longer needed to borrow force from the stone wall, and my body began to fall automatically.
I hurriedly buckled the stone wall and shouted to stop, and told everyone about the situation, it is estimated that we have been slowly getting out of the gravity loss range caused by the whirlpool, and then go down, it is very likely that we will fall directly and die, I suggest setting up a climbing rope on the stone wall for accidental protection.
Qixing agreed, and Shen Hao nailed ropes under the holes in the stone wall. When everyone had tied the safety locks to the ropes, I let go of my grip on the ropes and let my body fall down again.
The distance between the four of us was about ten meters, and I grabbed the rope at any time to control the speed of the fall, and told the people behind me to control the speed at any time. When I went down nearly 200 meters, the spotlight above my head seemed to have reached the bottom of the cave.
This kind of remote spotlight has limited brightness and is gathered in a straight line, so the range of view to the bottom of the cave is also very limited. But even so, I vaguely saw the shape of an airplane.
I was secretly glad that I was about to tell the people behind me the news, when suddenly my body suddenly fell, and gravity seemed to recover in an instant, making me fall down unprepared.
I was taken aback by the coldness, and quickly tightened the rope in my hand, and with a sudden tightening of my shoulders, the person stopped in mid-air. Thankfully, the rope was set up just now, and it saved me for the second time today.
"Be careful! Gravity is restored, hold on to the rope and don't fall! I immediately shouted at the top.
Because the seven stars in the back are ten meters away from me, my emergency has been seen by her, she has already grabbed the rope and slowly slid down, and the two people behind also heard my prompt, so the other three did not have any accidents.
When I saw that the three of them were safe, I looked around with a spotlight. At this time, I noticed that the stone cave, which had been facing vertically, seemed to have come to an end, and the space outside the cave had grown so large that I could not see the edge of the cave at all.
It turns out that the entrance of the cave is the dividing limit of gravity, and as soon as it comes out of the hole, gravity immediately returns to normal. Only then did I realize that the bottom of the cave I had just seen was just a peep at the bottom of the tube, and I only saw a small part of the bottom.
I was amazed that there would be such a large space hundreds of meters underground, and then I continued to slide down the rope.
As I got closer to the bottom of the cave, I slowly saw what was below.
The joy of finding the missing plane was now gone, because I had been completely replaced by shock. There is not just one plane, but there are countless planes of all kinds, and it is like an airplane graveyard hidden in the belly of the mountain.
This "30th parallel" area is really the birthplace of disaster, so many wrecked planes are here, I really don't know how many people will die here.
I took a look everywhere and found that there were not only large passenger planes, but also various small passenger planes, as well as helicopters, and I also saw a few fighter planes unexpectedly.
As for the origin of the plane, it is even more bizarre, the passenger plane is almost from any country, and it is estimated that as long as it passes through the Himalayas, it has not escaped bad luck. Only some helicopters and fighter jets are not visible from the outside, and they do not even have a national flag symbol. I thought that these mysterious planes must have never greeted our country when they came.
The other three people who followed me also saw this scene, and they all couldn't hide their surprise on their faces. Shen Hao also told a cold joke: "Is this an old plane recycling station?" ”
When we were still about 100 meters away from the bottom of the cave, I asked everyone to stop, I fastened the rope with a buckle around my waist, and took out of my backpack what looked like an old hair dryer.
Actually, it's just a dispenser, but what it can emit is unique, called a "nail lamp". The transmitter port is a revelor muzzle with a total of twelve holes, capable of firing twelve twenty-centimeter-long "nails".
These nails can be attached to metal materials after being fired, and they can also shoot directly into the rock, and when they are hit, they will trigger the luminous object in the nails, similar to the principle of glow sticks. However, this is fifty times brighter than a glow stick, and lasts up to twenty hours.
After confirming a few locations, I shot the nail lights at these places, and I had to twist the muzzle of the gun for each shot, and soon I shot all the nail lights out of the firing gun. At this time, when I looked down, the bottom of the cave was already covered in a blue fluorescent.
"Goddess!" I greeted An Beimo above.
An Beimo immediately fixed his body and picked up the 85 sniper rifle, and used the scope to search carefully within the visible range below.
My telescope could not be seen clearly in this environment without An Beimo's sniper rifle scope, she looked at it for three minutes, and suddenly said: "Strange! ”
Seven Stars was just below her, and hurriedly asked, "What did you find?" ”
An Beimo was still searching with the scope, and replied casually: "There is nothing down there except the wreckage of the plane." ”
Shen Hao continued: "Isn't that normal? What's so strange about it? ”
I took over and said, "Isn't it strange that there are so many plane wrecks here and not a single body?" "Except for Shen Hao, the three of us have all discovered this anomaly.
Since this is the center of plane crashes, then these planes must have been sucked into the whirlpool and crashed here during the flight, but it is very illogical that there is not a single body here. Especially those passenger planes that have been broken in two are obviously full of blood, but there are no corpses, how can this be normal?
Shen Hao came to his senses after being reminded by me, and he held up the binoculars and said in hindsight: "Really, where did this person go?" ”
I suspect there are other creatures in the cave, and the missing people and corpses have been eaten by wild beasts? But An Beimo didn't find any traces of other creatures, otherwise she wouldn't be surprised.
At this time, I looked at the North Seven Stars, and I needed her to decide our actions next.
Qixing thought for a while and said to me, "Go down and have a look, you won't find anything if you stay here." ”
I said, "Then you stay for the time being." Goddess and beast, cover me, and come down when I am sure I am safe. An Beimo said "um", and Shen Hao shouted loudly to tell me to be more careful.
I slowly slid down the rope, which was still two or three meters away from reaching the ground, but it was littered with wreckage and debris not far from my feet was a small airliner with only one nose left. I poked my toes out and stepped on the edge of the nose. I shook it with my foot, and when I found that it was stable, I stepped on it.
There was a "squeak" sound of metal deformation, which was not loud but unpleasant. I stood up and immediately raised my gun and looked around. It's such a big space, and the slightest noise can be amplified infinitely, and I'm worried that I'll attract the beasts that live here, after all, I've broken into the other party's "home".
OK! Half a day passed, and there was no other movement.
When I got to the bottom, I found that the nail lamp was still very effective, although it emitted blue light, but the surroundings were clearly illuminated, no less than the lighting lamp.
I jumped off the nose of the plane and searched back and forth through the wreckage, but I didn't find a single body.
Judging by the fact that these wrecked planes are all models within the last few years, then we have a good estimate of the formation time of the whirlpool, which was only accidentally formed in the last few years.
The front half of a passenger plane was not far from me, and I walked over with my gun raised. Seeing that there was blood inside, but there were no corpses, I wanted to go in and see if I could find anything.
Now there is no communication equipment, and the distance is far away, but I don't want to communicate by shouting anymore, after all, it is better to make as little noise as possible in this strange place. I used our D.R.T. communicative sign language to communicate with my teammates.
I told Seven Stars that I was going to go inside the cabin and take a look, and come out in five minutes, and ask the goddess to help me watch the entrance, and if any other creatures approached, I would shoot at me to warn.
After Bei Qixing made a "agree" gesture to me, An Beimo made a "yes" hand to me, and Shen Hao made a gesture of "be careful" to me.
After confirming the information of my teammates, I shone the tactical spotlight on the gun in the cabin, confirmed that there was no danger, and dodged in.
This half of the cabin was a mess, there were scattered luggage everywhere, the emergency oxygen masks all fell below, and the ground, seats, and walls could be seen everywhere with blood splashes, which showed that the passengers on board must have suffered a lot in the process of the plane falling here, and it is estimated that many people died on the spot.
But what about corpses? So many bloodstains prove that the cabin must have been full of people at that time, but why didn't there be a single corpse? I suspected that there might be a man-eating beast here, but that should have left some traces, and I haven't seen a single human bone until now.
This is so abnormal! I walked down the aisle towards the cockpit, which was relatively closed and might not be able to be discovered.
If I don't know what's going on here, I don't dare let my teammates down. At this point, they were safe to hang on the rope, but once they came down, it was not so easy to try to get up.
I walked a few quick steps, the door to the cockpit opened, I hid behind the door and listened to the movement inside, and to make sure there was no sound, I walked in with my gun raised.
I just took a few steps and I felt something was wrong, I sniffed hard in the air, it was blood!
My heart tightened, and the hand holding the gun tightened a little tighter, and the closer I got to the cockpit, the stronger the smell of blood.
As far as I know, the number of passengers on this large airliner should be about five hundred, and the cabin is very spacious, so I quickened my pace to the outside of the cockpit, and at the moment the cockpit door was closed.
