Chapter 102: The Well

So the two followed the man home to find his grandfather, but unfortunately the old man was in his eighties, uneducated and couldn't speak Mandarin, babbling for a long time to talk about just a few words, and there was not much new content compared to the man.

To sum up, about sixty years ago, when he was still young, something similar happened, and the old people in the village said that it was the Dragon King Suo Sacrifice, and whoever met him was unlucky.

This kind of thing sounds interesting and good for making up a story, but it doesn't help with the problem at all.

However, it is indeed necessary to find out whether there is a pattern of historical cycles in disasters.

The next day, the two went to the county office to inquire about what the old man said, but they failed to find anything very specific and practical, but instead expanded the scope of the sea area of the missing ship 60 years ago.

Sixty years ago, shortly after the liberation of this area, the distance from the treasure island was too close, and there were often fishing boats plundered by the other side, and the scope was so wide that it was impossible to verify whether there were special sea conditions in this sea area.

The two people also followed the fishery administration ship to the sea to investigate, and the person in charge of the fishery administration on the vast sea pointed to the distance: "Just there, what can you see?" If you can really see that there is a problem, no one will go and send you to death! ”

The fishery administration ship never dared to come closer.

So the two of them compiled a report, wrote down all the information they had learned and heard, and attached a copy of the fishery administration's suggestions and applications, and handed it over.

Originally, this case was over, and the most likely solution was to deal with it according to the fishery administration's method, demarcate that area of the sea area as a reef area that cannot be accessed by ships, and put buoys on warning.

But it wasn't that simple, and the company quickly called them back and told them to go to Longines, a famous seaside island in Ninh Thanh Province.

The fishery administration's report has attracted the attention of relevant departments, especially the navy.

The Navy handed over a villa on Longines Island, a few dozen kilometers away from the incident site, to the Ministry of the Dark World, hoping that they would continue their investigation.

Su Ting said to Lou Lanfeng: "It's in your hometown, the villa we met for the first time." ”

A few days ago, when he was in the Elf Country, Su Ting reminded her that Lou Lanfeng had already remembered that they had met two years ago.

At that time, Lou Lanfeng's old classmate Shi Tingcai was obsessed with it, thinking that there was a treasure buried in the well in front of his old villa, so the two went to the island to see the terrain, and his villa was next to the villa that Su Ting said.

At that time, Su Ting's mission had ended for more than a year, but she didn't give up and stayed there, so she changed the villa into a café to cover her identity.

Lou Lanfeng and Shi Ting once went in for a cup of coffee at that time.

The reason why Lou Lanfeng can still have an impression is because Su Ting came over to have a cup of coffee and chat with Shi Ting, a neighbor, and Cheng Tianjiao was also present, and he felt that Cheng Tianjiao and his silhouette were almost exactly the same.

In fact, Su Ting came to drink coffee with them because she found out that they were interested in the well and thought they knew the secrets.

A few days after that, Lou Lanfeng was cloned and separated into two people, Su Ting and Lou Lanyu still had some contact after more than half a month, but Lou Lanfeng didn't know it.

The bitter coffee flowed down her throat through her taste buds, and Lou Lanfeng smiled bitterly: "Time has come full circle, and two years later, we will sit together and drink this dark and bitter Americano." ”

Su Ting said: "You may not know what happened after that, because it didn't take long for you to split into two with Lou Lanyu." To put it simply, the villa was confiscated after the liberation and later transferred to the navy, after all, it was once a battle-ready place. ”

"In the process of repairing it, the Navy discovered that there was a big problem with the well, which led to a huge underground space. This well is the one that you and Shi Ting suspect that there is treasure in it, half a month later, Shi Ting and Lou Lanyu still want to go in and have a look, but they were caught by me and Cheng Tianjiao, I was bent on making a report to the company to reopen the expedition plan, my urgency was a little irrational, so Cheng Tianjiao took the opportunity to use the information he had to blackmail me. ”

Lou Lanfeng disagreed: "I see that you eat tender grass, Cheng Tianjiao was only a teenager at the time and you were in your twenties, just your ruthlessness, Cheng Tianjiao's little Taoism can move you?" ”

Su Ting didn't argue with him: "I know his relationship with you, count me wrong, I volunteered, right?" I won't talk about those things, but I'll continue to talk about the mission. ”

Lou Lanfeng nodded: "Remember, don't make a mistake when you want to say it in the future." ”

Su Ting glanced at him and continued: "There have been rumors in the company that we went down to contact the shell people, but in fact it was not. ”

After the discovery of this entrance well in the fifties, the navy also organized a reconnaissance expedition, after all, not long after the end of the civil war, if the Chiang gang built a tunnel to counterattack, it would not be a joke!

But it is conceivable that decades later, the expeditions failed, and the underground surveys carried out under the technical conditions of the time were basically never returned, after which the troops simply closed the entrance.

This letter is decades, has gone through countless changes of the times, and when it was almost forgotten, this incident happened, so the Navy simply handed over the well to the Dark World Department.

Longines Island and the fishing boat disappeared dozens of nautical miles apart, and the Navy must have a reason for connecting the two, and the Ministry of the Dark World realized that this was a huge underground space and a very complicated task.

To figure out what was going on below, it was not up to two operators, so it took nearly a month to prepare, and deployed experts in geology, biology, and even archaeology in the ministry to form an eleven-man expedition.

They have learned the lessons of several decades ago and set several phased goals, the first stage of which is only to enter 48 hours, and then return after a certain amount of time, without delay.

After analyzing the data obtained from the expedition, the next stage of planning is carried out.

At that time, the leader of the expedition was Chen Kaixuan, and Su Ting was the deputy captain.

After considering factors such as temperatures, typhoons, and tides, they chose to enter the underground world in April.

They were armed with weapons, camera equipment, adequate lighting, and even oxygen.

With only 48 hours of mission time, it is natural to start returning after 24 hours of in-depth, so ensuring that the first 24 hours are safe and smooth is the key.

There are only three women among the eleven people, in addition to Su Ting, there is also a doctor and a surveyor, since they are all four-dimensional personnel, they must have received strict military training, it can be said that this expedition has good combat effectiveness.

After all, the last expedition was completely wiped out, and maybe they may have lost their lives due to some kind of accident, but they may also have encountered an unknowable attack, so this expedition is still very well prepared.

Who would have thought that such a capable team would not even complete the first stage, almost all of them were wiped out, and the plans after that were also sealed.

In the initial stage of going down, although the spirit was more intense and the space was small, it went well.

The Navy had remodeled the wellhead, and for a long stretch there was a simple steel ladder that extended into the cavern below.

After going down the well, walking a few hundred meters inward, it was absolutely dark, and I couldn't see my fingers.

Eleven prospecting lights lit up above them.

After that, they experienced a long downhill, although there was no road, but it was not steep, although the ground was rocky, but they could still find a way to walk, so they used their hands and feet to go all the way.

Contrary to what they had imagined at first, it wasn't very slippery or even mossy inside.

Although the air is cloudy and smells of mold, it is not unbearable.

There is obvious infiltration of surface water, and the sound of dripping and flowing water can be heard from time to time.

For the first five hours they had been going downhill, dark all around, stumbling under their feet from time to time, but with a dozen lights illuminating, they were not slow.

The space has gradually become spacious from a tunnel that could only be passed by one person at the beginning, and finally it is almost a walk in a huge natural cave.

The hole should be natural, and there is no trace of artificiality, unless it was built hundreds of millions of years ago, and after years of pulping, it has become natural and strange.

Su Ting made a rough calculation, walked for five hours, almost walked out of eighteen kilometers, and had already walked out of Longines Island and entered the bottom of the sea, according to the current slope, they had gone deep into the ground for twelve kilometers!

The sea depth within 20 kilometers from the coast of Longines Island is only a few hundred meters, and the Mariana Trench, the deepest ocean on the planet, is only 11 kilometers deep, so it can be said that they have entered the absolute underground, exceeding the depth of any seabed.

Even so, there are still dozens of kilometers away from the place where the fishing boat disappeared, so this underground world is not ordinarily large.

Along the way, the previous dripping water has slowly merged into a stream, and there are continuous drops of water in the stone cracks, and now it has become a big stream that flows loudly, and when it encounters a large drop on the ground, it even forms a waterfall, making a deafening roar!

Along the way, they carefully and carefully searched for any traces of the group from decades ago, but they never found anything.

After seven hours, the road became flat, no longer going downhill, and the space became more and more empty, and the stones on the ground became larger and larger, and the expedition team had to go around from time to time, and finally the strongest light could not reach the top of the cave.

The expedition team was more cautious and insisted on advancing along one side of the stone wall to avoid the team being left on three sides.

They also stopped from time to time to see if there were any plants and animals alive, and there were no other larger creatures here except for some cave insect creatures such as spiders.

Moreover, cave creatures have lived in the dark for a long time, resulting in the loss of vision, and most of them have become transparent and white, but they will not be more beautiful and cute, at least the transparent spiders make people feel more eerie and disgusting.

Wu Bo, a geological expert accompanying him, has overturned his judgment on the formation of the underground world several times, and finally simply stopped talking nonsense and honestly took the camera to shoot all the way.

His last speech was: "It looks like it was deliberately natural." You are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
