Chapter 168: Mystery (1)

That being said, where to find animals at this time?

Zhou Ji observed left and right, and couldn't help but worry.

At 4.5 a.m., it's not hard to find a few 24-hour convenience stores or snack bars in the second-tier city of K, but you don't want to find a 24-hour pet store. So what about grabbing a random animal nearby? It's also impossible. Wang Yao had already told him that all the animals in a radius of several kilometers had disappeared without a trace since the appearance of that underground abyss.

Zhou Ji sighed, and said in his heart, Do you have to force me to drive to the other side of the city to chase stray cats and dogs? This shouldn't be the work of someone like him, maybe just wait another hour or two for the pet store to open after dawn and go buy an animal. So take a break and refresh now.

Think of it this way. After more than ten minutes of being uncomfortable and unable to sleep, Zhou Ji got up and drove to look for stray animals. It didn't take long for him to return to the campus of Haiqi High School with a flower cat that was tied up by five flowers and was still hissing and screaming.

Without further ado, God won't let him have a moment to rest. So start doing it now. Zhou Ji immediately walked up to the flying robot that Wang Yao gave Qiao Liang but didn't come in handy, and neatly and firmly fixed the stray cat in the space of the robot's belly. He didn't spend much time during this time, but the miserable ghostly cry of the mad cat made him almost go crazy, and after quickly solving the problem, he took the remote control and threw the flying robot into the abyss with the live cat.

As soon as the robot fell into the hole, Zhou Ji immediately started to operate. He connected a tablet-sized monitor to the remote control, and after a few flashes of the screen, a familiar scene appeared. It was an infinite black space as far as the eye could see, with the aimless lights casting in an unknown direction, and the terrible screams of the stray cat.

Zhou Ji frowned and turned the volume to a minimum. Although the meow of the cat almost tore his eardrums, he was still happy. Because the cat was thrown into the black hole without any isolation and protection measures, it means that there is still air to breathe underground. And the most important point is that it was not squeezed into a sphere by an unknown force like the rabbit that Wang Yao said had only a layer of skin left.

Since the stray cat is fine, then Wang Yao must be okay too!

Zhou Ji's expression relaxed. Although all of Wang Yao's seemingly reliable speculations about the bottom of the cave had been overturned by himself, it was a good thing that he survived. Therefore, Wang Yao's last move in the video he saw was definitely not an irrational act after going crazy, but after the speculation of certain things changed, he understood that there was no danger in the cave, Wang Yao really deserved to be a very bold and careful person.

Admiration is admiration, but there is one point in this that Zhou Ji can't figure it out. That was what Wang Yao remembered or saw at that time, which made him change his mind before going down the cave in an instant, and made him understand that it was safe not to wear isolation and oxygen equipment?

I'm afraid that unless Wang Yao can find his way back at the bottom of the dark cave, there will definitely be no second person in the world who knows.

Zhou Ji thought. His gaze was still fixed on the monitor, staring at the four frames on the screen that was split into two:

Front top, back bottom left, back top right, and a cat tied up directly below.

Why do the four screens present such strange and incredible angles? Very simple. The flying robot is not equipped with a single 360-degree or 720-degree camera. As a very important part of the equipment built by the organization with tens of millions of dollars, this camera is naturally a special model jointly developed by countless scientists.

The camera equipped on the robot is divided into four sub-lenses that can move freely without interfering with each other, that is to say, if a person who is familiar with the use of the device uses the remote control to operate and adjust the direction of the camera, then he can change the position of the four sub-lenses at will like a toothpick inserted in plasticine without any problem, of course, the same is true for the camera with six storyboards on the flight suit worn by Wang Yao when he went down the hole. It's just that the equipment on the flight suit is a little higher, and there are just two more storyboards than the robot.

Therefore, Zhou Ji set the position of the storyboard before putting down the robot, so as not to make it possible for him to see important scenes due to blind spots when watching real-time video after entering the hole.

Let's turn our attention back to Zhou Ji. At this time, he had turned the volume of the device to the minimum, but the stray cat's terrible scream was still as uncomfortable as countless needles pricking the auditory nerve in the ear. Zhou Ji didn't know why the cat kept barking, he wanted to turn off the volume completely but couldn't do it. What if he misses something sudden after turning off the volume? That's a big loss.

Thinking like this, Zhou Ji could only patiently stare at the screaming and struggling cats on the screen without blinking. 10 seconds passed, 1 minute passed, 10 minutes passed, and the flying robot in the video was still descending, but nothing happened.

Could it be that beneath that abyss is really just endless darkness, without any weird attacking creatures? What's even more amazing is that there is actually air below that can be used for life forms to survive, that is to say, it doesn't matter if any creature goes down, whether it is the person who crossed the wall and lay on the tree before and was finally frightened by Qiao Liang and fell into the hole, or Wang Yao, except for the infinite whereabouts in the abyss, it should not encounter anything else. At least they have a long time to survive unharmed before they die of fear and hunger, but this way of living is similar to that of people who are lost in the desert and waiting for death, because at least so far, Zhou Ji can't think of any way to save himself to save others. The only thing to be happy about is that Wang Yao still has time to wait for him to find him.

However, the fact that it can survive for a while does not mean that the situation is hastily defined as optimistic. There is still something wrong with this, such as why the rabbit that Wang Yao said was squeezed into a terrible ball? Aren't rabbits creatures too, and why are rabbits killed when they fall into them, while humans and cats are fine?
