R:046.A Little Adventure (Three Watches)
(Congratulations to the alliance leader for adding five watches, this is the third change)
Walking into the passage, the scene was as dark as the Admiral had expected.
But the flow from the air proves that there is no big problem with the exhaust. At least don't worry about poisoning.
'Better find a little bit of resources......
The Admiral muttered to himself and turned on the miner's lamp above his head.
And Sacramento, who was following him, also turned on the miner's lamp overhead, and the two pillars of light suddenly cleared the darkness in front of him and made the passage clear.
But looking at this clear passage, the look on the Admiral's face did not become relaxed, but looked at the surrounding structure a little more cautiously, and instructed Sacramento, who was a little confused behind him:
"Wait a minute, remember how we got there, or we're likely to get lost underground. It is important to remember how many steps you take, how many steps you take, and where you turn. We don't have a cold light stick now, and we can only judge the way back by experience. ”
"Wouldn't it be nice to write it down with pen and paper?"
Sacramento, who followed behind and began to walk forward, asked with some curiosity:
"Draw a map directly on the paper, so we can easily pass it?"
"Not good. It's easy to misjudge space in such places. And because of the collapse, it is difficult to have a standardized sign. When the time comes, there will be so many turns, and I won't remember them one by one. One fork in the road and we're all finished. It's more reliable to rely on mental arithmetic. ”
The Admiral said to Sacramento beside him as he tapped on the walls around him, estimating the time and state of the place.
Through the observation and judgment of the map of the north, the Admiral quickly confirmed his position.
If memory serves, this is the main road leading to some underground space. After estimating the location in his mind, the Admiral quickly determined the direction. Striding forward.
"Follow me."
"Huh? Admiral, do you know what's going on here? ”
"I guess I understand it. Similar. I've been to similar places before. ”
The Admiral explained nondeniably.
The military buildings and facilities of the ancient people were almost all such a set of rules, all of which prioritized efficiency and quality, and were not too tiring.
Soon, as the Admiral had calculated, a steel gate lay in front of the Admiral. The huge body was filled with an aura of decay from ancient times, stopping the progress of the two treasure seekers.
"Come on, come on, get out of the way. Let me take care of this. ”
Letting the hairy Sacramento get out of the way, the Admiral picked up the crowbar and looked around, then chose a position and began to pry.
I don't know if it's because the Admiral is born with divine power, or if it's because a hundred years have been able to decay everything. The seemingly massive steel gate was easily pried open by the Admiral.
But it seemed that it was because of the wrong direction, and the steel gate fell straight to the back, and suddenly there was a deafening roar. The two people in the passage were shocked.
If it weren't for the fact that the passage where the two of them were located was still strong, maybe they would have been buried alive.
"Ahem, ahem...... Sacramento, you keep the escape road clear in the back first, and I'll go to the front first. ”
With a wave of his hand, the dust was dispersed, and the Admiral coughed. He commanded Sacramento. Without waiting for the girl to agree, she took a crowbar and walked forward along the tattered steel floor.
Before I could take a few steps, the ground beneath my feet gradually became firm and solid. And the passage in front of me has become more and more regular. The Admiral squinted his eyes and lowered the brightness of the miner's lamp above his head to the middle and bottom, and followed the increasingly strange path towards a mysterious place.
And after estimating the distance of about one hundred and fifty paces in his mind, the Admiral's eyes were suddenly empty, and he could no longer find any way forward.
Look at the empty world. The admiral subconsciously hit the miner's lamp above his head to the maximum.
The white light was like a sharp sword, tearing through the curtain of darkness in the blink of an eye.
“…… Oh my God. ”
Is this the legacy of the ancients?
Look at the world illuminated by the light. The Admiral muttered in disbelief.
Looking along the line of incandescent miner's light, the Admiral slowly opened his mouth as he watched the black colossus crawling underground.
This underground passage is not some kind of underground base where the Admiral imagined that classified machinery was kept, or where important supplies were stored. Instead, it stored a big guy that the Admiral couldn't even think of.
A pitch-black steel cigar with a pitch-black body that was hundreds of meters long was crawling silently in the huge underground cavity in front of the Admiral. It seemed to be connected to the sea outside, reflecting a jagged white light under the Admiral's white miner's lamp.
I don't know how this behemoth, which is connected to the outside world, has been preserved to this day. This terrifying colossus of fear lies quietly in the cavern at the bottom of the mountain. The dusty mechanical scaffolding and the decaying electric lights on the ceiling are enough to prove how glorious these things were in the hands of ancient people.
Guam. It once existed as a submarine advance base for a large empire of ancient mankind.
Looking at the huge creature lying in the canal, the Admiral couldn't help but think of the description of Guam in the record.
But no matter how much he searched in his mind, he couldn't find the specific data of the huge monster in front of him. It's not so much a submarine as some kind of ship.
Even if the oppressive body was crawling at the feet of the Admiral, he could feel the oppression that came from the behemoth. That's not a threat from a living creature to a living creature. It's just the pressure of a simple industrial product.
'This thing has a displacement of tens of thousands of tons, right?' ’
It's a pity that it's useless.
Estimating the volume of this huge product, the Admiral was a little disappointed in his heart.
For the entire human society, the discovery of this thing may be a particularly great discovery, and may even go down in history or something.
But for Guam, which has only a few big cats and kittens, the discovery of this thing is better than the discovery of a material warehouse. Because no one knows exactly how to get this thing.
It's an adventure that can be explained in one chapter, and there is nothing good about it. ’
Let's go back. Wait until there are more people one day and then sort it out.
The Admiral sighed inwardly, ready to turn back.
But what the Admiral didn't know was that a dark red light was in the corner, silently watching his back.
It wasn't until he left completely that the shadow slowly rubbed to the side of the canal and jumped into the water, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The entire underground space suddenly returned to its original silence. (To be continued.) )
