Chapter 173: Ten Thousand Years of Ice
I stared at the ice under my feet, and the 10,000-year-old ice looked very hard, but we had seen too many things in this hellish place, and I was afraid that something would happen at this time.
So a few of us cautiously followed Team Zhang and slowly stepped onto the waterhole. As Lin Xihui said, the ice under his feet is very firm, and looking down, the thickness of the ice surface is a little difficult to estimate. Walking on ice, except for the occasional slippage under your feet, is no different from walking on flat ground.
Although the ice is very thick, the pool of water under the ice is clearly visible. The water is blue and smells like seawater, and the water here is much clearer than the dirty pools you see in between. There is nothing under the water, there is no end in sight, and the water below is calm, like a clear mirror. If it weren't for the ice on the top of the pool, I think the water here would be beautiful.
Team Zhang's pace is still not slow, although the soles of his feet are slippery, but he is still stable on the ice.
As he walked, Lin Xihui suddenly stopped, he squatted down, lowered his head and squinted his eyes, and looked down at the waterhole. After that, Lin Xihui hurriedly called to Team Zhang in front of him suspiciously, and motioned him to slow down his pace, because in Lin Xihui's opinion, the ice under our feet looked a little strange!
After Lin Xihui finished speaking, I also looked down. Looking through the thick layer of ice, you can now see that there is nothing under the ice. Rather, there are some objects that resemble a circle, and the color of this object is almost black, because it is separated by ice, so it cannot be carefully recognized, perhaps a different dark color.
There are not a few of these round objects distributed below, but just a general glance, you will find that under our feet, under these nearby ice layers, there are such round objects. They should not be far from us. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to see this kind of thing so easily.
"It's strange, when we walked into the waterhole just now, there was obviously nothing. Why is there more of these balls down there at this time? Where did it all come from? The bald man muttered to himself.
So I told the bald head that there was nothing strange about it. We should now be in the middle of the waterhole, and maybe these spherical objects are only distributed in the middle of the waterhole, so we can't see these things immediately when we enter the waterhole.
Team Zhang also stopped, looking carefully at the spherical objects under the ice. Lin Xihui even lay on the ice. Staring at the spherical objects below. I wondered about spherical objects, what's so nice about this? A few more of these things under the waterhole, and nothing else.
At this time, Lin Xihui slowly stood up from the ice, and his face was indescribably ugly. I asked Lin Xihui in a whisper, did you find anything strange about these spherical objects?
Lin Xihui shook her head and said to me, "There is nothing strange about these things. It's just that where we are now, it seems to be a little weird. Because we're probably underwater right now. ”
"Underwater? How is this possible, could it be that we have all become fish? The bald head reacted very loudly and asked involuntarily.
Hearing Lin Xihui say this, I couldn't help but feel a little funny. But. I still looked up at the sky above me. By the way, a few greedy breaths of fresh air. I am sure that we are under the sky now, not under some "water" as Lin Xihui said.
Team Zhang's face was also a little solemn at this time, and he just motioned for us to get out of here quickly. Our speed has increased, and the distance between people has become smaller. Everyone walked very tightly. I saw that Lin Xihui pulled out the short knife he was carrying from his waist at this time, as if he was facing a great enemy. I had a bad feeling in my heart. Maybe we're about to run into some big trouble.
I immediately asked Lin Xihui what he meant by what he just said? Lin Xihui shook his head and asked if the spherical objects below I didn't realize were very familiar?
As she asked, I looked under the ice again. I saw the spherical object under the ice, and it did seem a little familiar when I looked closely.
Through the ice, you can see the spherical objects, with tiny patterns on the surface. It dawned on me that the spherical object here was very similar to the stone ball we had encountered in the waterhole full of corpses we had passed earlier.
I remember that Lin Xihui also specially explained these stone balls to me, saying that she felt that those stone balls were not ordinary stone balls, but made of meteorites, and also said that the value of those stone balls may be beyond our imagination.
That's why I was very impressed with those stone balls. The more I look at it now, the more I feel that the spherical object here is a stone ball in the waterhole at that time.
I asked Lin Xihui in a low voice, "Are those spherical objects under the ice the same as the waterhole we passed by before, those round stone balls, and the stone balls we saw on the water surface before?" ”
Lin Xihui nodded first, and then whispered to me that things may not be as simple as I thought. Not only are the stone balls under the ice the same as those in that pool, but it may even be the entire pool, exactly like the one we passed through before!
Hearing Lin Xihui say this, I was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean by this?" What does it mean to be exactly the same? Could it be that the waterhole here was designed and built in the same way as the waterhole we have encountered before? ”
Lin Xihui still shook his head, his expression gradually became a little dazed, and said to me softly, "I mean, the waterhole here is probably the same waterhole as the one we walked through before!" Where we are now, maybe just below the waterhole we used to be! ”
"What are you kidding, it's absolutely impossible!" I replied a little loudly, and even Team Zhang and the bald head turned back to see us.
Before Lin Xihui could speak, a team might have heard what Lin Xihui said before, and said to me coldly, "What she said makes a lot of sense." It's not impossible. This waterhole is most likely the same waterhole as the one we have passed before. ”
Are these two waterholes a waterhole? Where we are now, below the previous waterhole, that is, when we were in the tower's waterhole, we were in the current waterhole - under the ice?!
This sounds completely impossible. There's not even a bit of logic in the whole thing. But it's such a thing, it even sounds a little funny, but it was conclusive by what Lin Xihui and Team Zhang said, I looked at Team Zhang, Team Zhang at this time is a little different from Team Zhang I knew before, and the whole person feels very mysterious. He seems to be very familiar with this place, what is the connection between the "Eye of the Earth" project mentioned before and this place? (To be continued.) )
