Chapter 248: There Are Living Creatures
Because I didn't know what would be around below, I just gave Brother Long a signal to ask them to check around to see what was there, and then come back and talk about it.
After all, we still have some provisions, and it is not a problem to live here for about ten days.
So there's no problem with the timing, but if they run into a mechanism or something, I can't guarantee that they will be alive.
Brother Long responded, and at the same time told us to be careful, and then left.
I'll look back at our team.
"Brother Wen, you can arrange for us." Zhang Siqiao was a sweet enemy at me.
I scratched my head, in terms of position, among the three of us, I am the vice captain, according to our previous team training, whenever Brother Long is not there, I should indeed command.
But now I realize that I have always relied on Brother Long or Brother Tiger to command, and they are not here now, so I am completely blind.
There are three of us, and there are two women, who do you say will take the lead and let the women go? I don't think I can do this yet.
But I'm in front, maybe it will make us more dangerous, after all, my level is still a little worse than Lu Xiaodan and Zhang Siqiao.
"Brother Wen, don't think about gender, Brother Long said that when you are the captain, you must take the survival of the whole team as the first priority."
Lu Xiaodan's words reminded me, and Brother Long also told me this sentence, but I forgot it, and now fortunately, Lu Xiaodan reminded me.
I thought about it for a while, and then I reacted, if there was really a vice captain in the past, then it should be Lu Xiaodan.
On the one hand, her technical level and ability are indeed outstanding, and on the other hand, in the command position, Brother Tiger and Brother Long are not centralized.
Once there is a disagreement, Lu Xiaodan, as the vice captain, can restrain Brother Long at any time.
Thinking of this, I nodded and said, "That's okay, in this way, Lu Xiaodan will take the lead, I will be the second, and Zhang Siqiao will follow." ”
"Okay." Zhang Siqiao gave me a thumbs up, and apparently she agreed with such a distribution method.
It's actually not too high to go down from here, and although there are no stairs, it was no problem at all for us.
And there's that half-man-tall grass underneath, plus this platform, which itself has a bit of a slope.
We all slid down the slope a little bit and then jumped in and out.
When I got to the bottom, I immediately turned over and stood up, the ground was not very hard, this was actually the land.
I don't know how thick the soil is underneath, but looking at the height of the weeds in front of me, I'm afraid this soil is not too little.
"That's amazing, how did they do it?" Zhang Siqiao touched the weeds around him and said.
I shook my head, this thing is like the way to raise flowers and plants at home, make a larger bubble box, and then get soil and sheep dung in it, and after you get it, you can just get some grass seeds in it.
As long as there is water, a lot of grass will grow soon.
It's just that the platform in front of us is too big, and if we treat this platform as a flower pot, we are probably just a small ant in the flower pot.
However, this kind of regeneration system is really powerful, and in it, there will be a continuous circulation of air, which is unimaginable.
Lu Xiaodan said at this time: "Let's not talk about this first, Brother Wen, how do we go first?" ”
I looked at the directions, pointed in one of them, and said, "First go around to the middle, there is a small river, if there is a mechanism or something, it must be related to water conservancy, so it should be no problem to walk along the river." ”
Lu Xiaodan nodded and leaned out in front.
We were quite tired walking among the weeds, these weeds grew very luxuriantly, and they were all half a person tall, Lu Xiaodan in front, from time to time with a sapper shovel to those weeds, some weeds were cut down, and then fell to the ground.
In the middle, the river was clear and visible, and it flowed out of the platform in the middle, heading into the distance.
"If we dive, we should be able to get inside." Lu Xiaodan said.
I shook my head and took a closer look at the water, the surface of the water was very clear, I could see that there were no fish in it, and from here, I could see that the depth of the river was also okay.
Here are some stones, but depending on the situation, those stones should have been dug into a canal, but the closer you get to the ground, sometimes you will see some small holes.
The water should be able to pass through these small holes, enter the soil, and then nourish the weeds here, no wonder the weeds here can grow so luxuriantly.
I motioned for them to pause, and then I dipped my hand in a little water and put it in my mouth.
"Sea water." Sure enough, it was salty.
"Isn't it possible that these grasses can grow with seawater?" Zhang Siqiao looked at the weeds.
I had to laugh, you know, in the saline-alkali land, it is not that nothing can grow, and the grass has the ability to adapt, probably the strongest.
I don't know what happened to these grasses, but they adapted to the salty water and slowly grew.
"It's not important, Brother Wen, this water can flow out, why do you think you can't dive?"
I pointed to the platform and said, "That's the problem, the water here is flowing, which means that there must be some mechanism here that not only allows the water to flow from here, but also can get water from the outside, otherwise the water would have dried up after so many years." ”
"You mean, there's some connection between here and the outside."
"Although there is, it shouldn't be very big, otherwise it's the sea outside, and if the pressure here exceeds a certain value, I'm afraid this place should have collapsed a long time ago, but in fact, there is nothing wrong here, which means that all this has been calculated."
I've had some thoughts about this for a long time, and this should be a secret technique.
An ancient secret technique of building a stone ship in the sea, otherwise it is difficult to explain how this is done, even in modern times, this kind of thing is very difficult to do, underwater operations, that is not something that ordinary people can do.
And to be so exquisitely designed, and it has not changed for hundreds of years, this kind of wisdom has far exceeded my imagination.
Thinking about it this way, the things in that Song Zang are really terrifying and scary.
"What does that have to do with us diving?"
"Of course, this backwater device is to bring in seawater, but in the seawater, it is impossible to have nothing, whether it is aquatic plants, seaweed, or small fish, it is possible to bring in, but you see that the water in this place is very clear, which proves that they must have installed some kind of filtering device, and in ancient times, such devices were generally made with sharp blades."
If you use a net, then the aquatic weeds and seaweeds will easily get entangled in the net, and the net will be blocked slowly.
But the sharp-edged filter is different.
That thing, you can easily chop up everything that comes in, and then sink it underneath, as for what to do with it underneath, that's another way.
But I really can't think of this, after all, there is always a way to clean up so many things.
If we swim down this river, we may encounter something, and if we enter it and we find one of these filters, we will run headlong into it, and we may be able to cut it open.
Saying this, Lu Xiaodan opened his mouth wide, and said for a long time: "No, Brother Wen, this is terrible." ”
I nodded at her and said, "So, we can't use that." ”
"Then Brother Long, will they also think of this, and then implement it?"
"Don't worry." I shook my head, "Brother Long is much more shrewd than us, he will definitely complete the task of searching for the four places first, and then come back to discuss with us." ”
"That's just as well." Zhang Siqiao was relieved.
"Let's go." I stood up and looked into the distance, we were going to follow this river and see what lay ahead.
Just as we were about to act, Lu Xiaodan suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped us.
"What's wrong?"
"Be careful, there's something." Lu Xiaodan pulled out the gun directly, and the bullet was loaded, so I had to pull out the gun first.
I looked around, it was very quiet, there was nothing at all.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Lu Xiaodan make a shushing gesture and flashed two steps to the side.
As soon as she moved, I immediately saw something wrong.
Because about ten meters away from us, the grass also moved, and there was no pattern.
There's no wind here, and the grass doesn't sway from side to side when it's fine, and something moves it.
And more importantly, the thing that moves it should be under the grass, and we can't see what that thing is yet.
I pointed my gun at that end and gasped to calm myself down, this is underwater, what could it be?
Fish? Impossible, how can a fish move on such a meadow.
Other animals, just kidding, I'm already surprised that there's grass here, and there are other animals here, so this one is a big deal.
Although there is no shortage of oxygen and water, it is really difficult to imagine a good living environment here, because the water here is salty, and the animals will drink it.
If it's not a living thing, it's probably some dead thing.
Zombie, or something else?
But it's not like this, I haven't heard of such a short corpse, unless it's the kind of corpse we saw when we came in, and it has to be the kind of ghost corpse that is so short.
"Brother Wen, I'll lean forward, you guys be careful to support." Lu Xiaodan said softly.
Zhang Siqiao and I both nodded, and Lu Xiaodan slowly walked towards the front, holding the gun flat, and my heart lifted.
As soon as he took a few steps, the grass exploded, and then a huge green thing jumped out and attacked Xiao Dan.
No, it's obviously a living thing, and there are living things here.
