"Sharp Ice Rock?"

The surging dark golden text, like some strange life form, twisted and wriggled and jumped in front of him.

After seeing these three unfamiliar words, Meng Lei frowned slightly.

This situation is encountered in front of you.

He always felt as if he had heard it somewhere, and there was a sense of déjà vu.

But if you think about it carefully, you can't remember it, which is very strange.

Hold this feeling to the bottom of your heart for the time being and keep looking.

(At 1,845 meters ahead, a sharp ice rock was found.)

This is a strange substance commonly found in the Alien Abyss, its molecular structure is still water, but it contains some trace element itself, making it much denser than seawater, and extremely hard, like rock.

This trace element is normally fixed, but it is also extremely unstable.

Too much trace element will increase the overall density of the ice and completely take root on the seabed, like a mountain.

Too few trace elements will reduce the overall density of the ice, causing it to float in the sea and drift with ocean currents.

This unstable and strange material is commonly found in the sea at depths of 3,000 to 20,000 meters.

However, the scientific research advance team of the deep zone has also found traces of it in the abyss of death at a depth of 35,000 meters.

The reason for the formation of the sharp ice rock is not yet known.

The existence of this exotic substance poses a serious safety hazard to daily navigation.

But.

Depending on the thickness of the ice, it is normal to break the ice and move forward, but if you encounter ice with a thickness of more than 50 meters, it is recommended to take a direct detour. ）

The large-scale introduction made Meng Lei realize.

This so-called sharp ice rock is likely to be something extremely important in the future, or something that cannot be ignored.

Otherwise, Goldfinger would not have been so solemn and gave such a detailed reminder.

In addition, after seeing the word detour.

Meng Leimeng recalled what was going on with that strange sense of familiarity before.

This morning, in a series of information that Ning Wen reported to him.

It's already been mentioned.

There are other players who have encountered huge transparent obstacles in the sea.

It's hard to tell the eye apart, like ice in the sea, big enough to block some narrow shipping lanes.

At the time, the player was helpless in the face of this situation.

Ultimately.

It can only be a detour.

Before, Meng Lei was still very curious about what the ice cube that the player encountered was.

Now it seems that the Eight Achievements are the so-called Sharp Ice Rock.

"Ice structures that are denser than seawater and are as hard as rocks still sound familiar?"

Meng Lei scratched his head suspiciously.

Suddenly, he remembered something, and his eyes widened suddenly.

"I'll go! Ice collapse?! The two-kilometer-thick layer of ice on the surface of the ocean can't be this kind of thing, right?! ”

After crossing over to this alien ocean.

The first survival goal given by the system is to reach the outpost gathering place as much as possible before the ice collapses.

Limited to seven days.

Meng Lei had never understood it before.

In his view, the collapse of the ice may trigger other chain reactions that could cause certain disasters.

And the disaster itself was not caused by the ice.

Because from a physical point of view, it is impossible for those ice blocks to fall into the deep sea at a depth of two or three thousand meters.

But now it seems that he is still a little immature.

If the so-called ice layer is this kind of sharp ice rock that is much denser than seawater.

When disaster strikes, it's terrible to think about.

The two-kilometer-thick rock formation was smashed down, not to mention that all players had to be buried alive, even the sea creatures had to be stoned to death!

Thinking of this, Meng Lei suddenly shuddered.

I feel more and more that in this alien ocean, there are too many things that cannot be fathomed.

The trail was full of hardships and was simply hopeless!

Between thoughts.

The fleet was getting closer and closer to the wall of ice that blocked the entire shipping lane.

This time.

On the sonar display of Ning Wen and Wang Qi, they also began to receive green sonar feedback signals from the ice wall.

Suddenly, the exclamations of the two came from the earphones.

"This ...... What is this? Why is it so big?! ”

"Let's ...... Is it a wall? Obviously there is no way, how can the navigation system bring us here? ”

The two were a little dazed.

Even if he received a reminder from Meng Lei and Huo Ye in advance, he would inevitably feel incredible.

"Don't panic!"

Meng Lei said in a low voice, and said in a somewhat serious tone:

"I've been on a shipwreck before, and I think I've seen a record of something like this, and it's not a big problem."

But as long as the information prompted by the golden finger, everything is pushed to the wreck.

A shipwreck loaded with an alien ocean encyclopedia, capable of rationalizing and solving all problems.

Anyway, no one can turn around and go back to collect evidence, and Meng Lei can make it up as he wants.

"Commander Meng, what the hell is this?"

Ning Wen was a little impatient and asked urgently.

"An ice rock, like ice but not ice, should theoretically be crushable."

Meng Lei simply popularized science for everyone.

"It's something that's not dense, sometimes it's very light and sometimes it's heavy, and it can sink to the bottom of the sea, and it can float in the sea.

If you encounter it again in the future, you can test the thickness with a few shots, and it can generally be broken.

But if the thickness is too large, don't waste ammunition and go straight to the detour. ”

These crew members who were dug from the Kyushu fleet may be the backbone of the Chongming fleet in the future.

Let them know more information, both for themselves and for the future development of the fleet, it will be of certain benefit.

Therefore, Meng Lei did not hide his secrets and taught him everything.

As soon as the voice fell, there was a gasping sound in the earphones.

No one thought that there would be such a strange thing in this sea.

"Commander Meng, what should we do now? Is it a detour, or is it a ......"

Wang Qi's voice rang out.

Then, another voice came.

"Is there some danger ahead of such a big wall of ice that the system is deliberately trying to stop us from moving forward?

Otherwise, let's take a detour......"

The voice was relatively unfamiliar and spoke a little timidly, one of the two survivors who woke up later.

Meng Lei shook his head and said in a deep voice:

"Go over first, shoot a few shots and then say, unless you have to, try not to take a detour."

Joke.

This long and narrow tunnel of rock formations, they walked more than a dozen kilometers, to say the least.

At this time, turn around and go back to re-plan the route.

That's a lot of wasted time!

I finally made up for the voyage, and I had to take it for a few hours.

Besides, Meng Lei didn't think that the system had such good intentions.

If you don't trap all the people in the sea, you will already burn high incense, how can you kindly remind the player to avoid danger?

To say that there is a treasure ahead, the system deliberately does not want the player to hunt for treasure.

It is estimated that such a possibility is relatively large.

In short, a wall of ice wants Meng Lei to give up?

That's absolutely impossible!

In the course of the discussion, the distance of two kilometers passed quickly.

Sonar display on a fictitious three-dimensional topographic map.

The green barrier, which represents the ice wall, is extremely vast in front of you, cutting off the way ahead.

The entire fleet hovered in front of this ice wall, looking incomparably small.

There is a faint illusion of driving in a tunnel built by an ancient giant, about to open the door to the unknown.

At this time, the Guiru number at the front of the queue.

The distance between it and the ice wall was only about thirty meters.

Meng Lei stopped the fleet and turned on his searchlights to shine ahead.

The miserable white light, which was enough to penetrate the forty meters of darkness, tore through the black curtain in front of him.

At the end of the beam beam, a noticeable reflection can be seen.

It's like shining a flashlight on an ice wall, and the light can penetrate the ice wall, but it will be refracted against.

Ning Wen and the others were a little far away, and they could also see the searchlight of their submarine, the light source reflected on the ice.

Merely.

The ice wall in front of me is noticeably clearer than ordinary ice, almost like a mirror.

Even if you look closer.

It is difficult to tell with the naked eye how different it is from its surroundings.

Without the hint of a sonar detector, there is no doubt that it will definitely hit headlong.

"Commander Meng, the front...... What's going on now? ”

It was still that cowardly voice that sounded, asking about Meng Lei's condition.

Meng Lei didn't speak, and drove the submarine cautiously closer to the ice wall for a few minutes.

Then.

The light of the submarine's searchlight, after passing through the ice wall for some distance, again changed significantly.

Meng Lei constantly adjusted the angle of the searchlight, shining it in all the surrounding areas.

He found that from the angle and distance of the light refraction.

The thickness of this ice wall is actually not very thick, only about two or three meters.

For ordinary people, it may be enough to reach the dust.

Looking at the overall area of the ice wall, this point is almost as thick as that of a paper lake.

With the power of the shipborne battery, it should be able to penetrate it.

It's just that a lot of ammunition may need to be wasted.

After a little hesitation, Meng Lei decisively ordered everyone:

"Everybody float up and get close to the top rock formation!"

"Yes!"

The crowd agreed.

Then they drove the submarine and floated to the very top of the entire tunnel.

The reason for this extra move is that Meng Lei is mainly worried that once the ice wall is damaged, it will cause a large area to collapse.

Under the action of ocean currents, the broken ice can be smashed into any part of the submarine.

All of them may pose a safety hazard.

In particular, the portholes at the very front, are the weakest point of the entire submarine.

If you are smashed, you may be killed in an instant!

Therefore, for the sake of safety, it is better to stand a little higher.

Immediately after, after everyone had arrived at a safe location.

Meng Lei straightened up, put his entire face on the observation hole of the periscope, and said to Huo Ye:

"Lao Huo, follow me to launch side fire, where I hit, you can fight, set fire to a position, and destroy the ice wall! Tell me when you're ready! ”

"Yes!"

Huo Ye answered the order and answered very simply.

The maneuvering of the shipborne battery is not complicated in the first place.

After some simple exploration, Huo Ye quickly figured out how to operate.

"Commander, you're ready!"

Huo Ye's report sound came from the earphones.

Meng Lei didn't delay any longer, and immediately shouted:

"Fire!"

As soon as this remark came out.

Suddenly.

In the dark undersea tunnel, two dazzling tongues of fire flashed immediately.

The two ship-borne batteries, each firing at a side-firing angle of 45 degrees, fired frantically at the diagonal front.

I don't know how many years have been silent in the depths of the rock formation, and suddenly there is a low rumbling sound.

Shells of 30mm caliber were fired one after another, roaring madly.

With a speed that is indistinguishable to the naked eye, it slammed into the solid ice wall, and it took less than two seconds to complete a short but glorious life.

Countless crystal clear ice slags, in the roar of the fort, reflected in the searchlight scattered all over the sky.

Glittering in the darkness, drifting into the air with the current.

The entire wall of ice began to tremble, making a loud cracking sound that echoed through the tunnel.

The tremors are heart-wrenching.

Nearly twenty seconds later, more than half of the full box was consumed.

During this time, hundreds of shells poured out from the two ship-based batteries!

A large amount of ice shattered into powder, and the surrounding sea was completely shrouded in endless ice mist, and there was nothing in sight in front of him, a vast white patch.

"Stop!"

At this time, Meng Lei duly called out a ceasefire order.

The roar of the two ship-borne batteries, which were roaring wildly, immediately stopped abruptly.

He wanted to see how effective the nearly half-minute fire attack could be.

After a few more moments, the drifting ice mist was dispersed by the current.

The field of vision gradually became clearer.

The lights shine and you can see it clearly.

The place where the top of the ice wall bordered the rock formation was blasted out of a huge gap at this moment.

A terrifying crack in the ice stretched madly downward from the gap, like a torn wound, all the way to the darkness.

"Effect...... Doesn't seem to be bad? ”

Meng Lei was overjoyed.

Not a single box of ammunition was fired, and the entire nearby ice wall seemed to have been severely damaged under the violent fire, and there were signs of imminent shattering.

It seems that the road of breaking the ice by force should be feasible.

At that moment, Meng Lei did not hesitate and yelled at Huo Ye:

"Lao Huo, go on! Don't worry about wasting ammo, dry through this ice wall in one go! ”

"Good!"

As soon as the words fell, the two joined forces again.

The Guixu and the Shenlong trembled at the same time, and a new round of firepower began to attack.

The cacha of the ice breaking is getting louder and louder.

Ning Wen and the others hid behind, only to feel that the entire tunnel was about to collapse, and their faces turned pale.

But Meng Lei and Huo Ye seemed to turn a deaf ear and raised their firepower to the limit.

Aiming at the gap in the ice wall that has begun to bear fruit, the bombardment was frantically launched.

Half a minute later, a box of ammunition was completely empty.

When the ice fog dispersed, a large black hole appeared very abruptly at the top of the ice wall.

The intricate vertical and horizontal cracks like cobwebs, densely spread all around, look extremely spectacular!

However, in the deepest part of that gap.

Nearly a third of the ice remains unpenetrated, which is enough to see how frightening the hardness of this sharp ice rock is.

"Lao Huo, fill the ammunition and keep working!"

Victory was in sight, and Meng Lei did not dare to relax.

Immediately pick up the empty ammo box and refill it through the crafting table.

Then another round of shelling began.

Finally, when the second box of ammunition was consumed to about thirty percent.

The only remaining part of the ice was completely pierced by shells.

Suddenly, a fierce submarine current roared through the gap in the ice wall, blowing away the surrounding ice fog and ice crystals in an instant.

Countless ice crystals swept wildly around them.

Tiny slags of ice slammed into the hull of the submarine and the portholes, making a crackling sound.

There seems to be a large number of stone pendants. It is like sitting in a car on a rainy day, and the sound of the torrential rain pouring outside the window is extremely panicked.

Fortunately, this wave of ice crushing did not last long.

The ice mist that drifted around was quickly blown away by the ocean current.

But the entire nearby ice wall seemed to be starting to crumble a little as the gap opened.

A thousand miles of embankment was destroyed in an anthill.

Meng Lei didn't dare to stay here for a long time, and immediately yelled at everyone:

"Quick! Rush over as fast as you can, follow me! ”

As he spoke, Meng Lei immediately controlled the submarine, raised his speed to the limit, and drilled headlong into the gap in the broken ice wall.

The violent ocean currents swelled wildly, causing great resistance to the progress!

Under the impact of the current, the Guixu was like a flat boat in the sea, and the hull of the ship could not stop swaying.

Several times, they slammed into the hard ice wall next to them.

Meng Lei gritted his teeth, tried his best to control the submarine to stabilize his body, always rushed to the front of the team, and tried his best to arrange a certain amount of water resistance for others.

Huo Ye followed closely behind, firmly following the pace of the Guiru, breaking the water for everyone.

It is only two or three meters long that a passage is short.

It took nearly a minute for the four submarines to finally rush over without danger.

Duration.

With the weak kinetic energy of the initial reclamation boat, under the impact of the current, it is almost completely in a relatively static state.

Even if you raise the power to the limit, it's almost the same as a turtle climbing.

And the most difficult is Meng Lei.

Walking in the first position, it completely withstood all the shocks.

The irregular frenzied swaying and uncontrollable impact almost knocked his brain out.

Fortunately, the hull and structure of the submarine of the Guixu were raised to the limit of this stage by him.

Otherwise.

He really didn't know if this continuous impact would directly knock the entire submarine apart.

The point is, driving a submarine is not like driving a car.

After issuing an operational command, the submarine cannot give an instantaneous feedback, but there is a certain delay.

In such an operating environment, it is hard against the ocean current through a narrow tunnel of ice walls.

The difficulty can be imagined.

Fortunately, in the end, I finally wore it without danger.

But even at this time, Meng Lei did not dare to relax his vigilance, and constantly commanded everyone through the headset to leave this sea area as soon as possible.

Just as everyone walked in front of them, they arrived at a relatively gentle area.

Suddenly, there was a series of crumbling sounds from behind.

The sound was incomparably loud, echoing in the tunnel of rock formations with limited space, and it was extremely shocking.

Meng Lei didn't dare to turn back and urged everyone to speed up.

At this time, it can be clearly seen on the virtual map of the sonar display.

The huge ice wall that ran through the tunnel, and one of the areas suddenly exploded!

As a result, the entire ice wall began to gradually collapse from it.

Countless fragmented small pieces of ice, driven by ocean currents, turned into meteors and shot wildly into the distance.

A few minutes ago it was an intact wall of ice.

As the collapse phenomenon spreads, it slowly begins to collapse over a large area.

When they reached the edge of the two-kilometer range.

Nearly one-fifth of the ice wall has collapsed entirely, leaving one huge black gap after another.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but be afraid for a while.

They didn't get out in time.

Even if you don't get buried on the spot, you have to be smashed by dense fine ice cubes.

"I'll go! What the hell is this? It's so exciting! ”

Ning Wen took a deep breath and made his first opinion tremblingly.

I don't know if it's scared or excited.

"It's too dangerous, this situation is not at all something that personnel can deal with at this stage, this waterway, apparently, was not intended to be passed through in the first place!"

Wang Qi's voice was a little low, and he looked extremely dignified.

Huo Ye also rarely quieted down, and said with some fear:

"Lao Wang is right, this channel should not be intended to let players at this stage pass!

If it was a lone wolf, the firepower would not be enough to break through the ice wall.

And if it is a fleet, even if it barely opens a way out, there will be huge casualties among personnel!

Thanks to this, we drove four submarines.

If it was a team of the size before the Kyushu fleet, once it didn't have time to pass quickly, I'm afraid at least half of the people would have to be buried alive!

It's crazy! ”

Meng Lei silently listened to the exchange between several people, and nodded involuntarily.

What Huo Ye said was indeed right.

The existence of this sharp ice wall, judging from the current situation, does seem to be intended to prevent the player from moving forward.

Anything else, the average person encounters such a massive barrier.

After discovering that no entrance can be found, it is estimated that they will immediately turn around and leave.

Even if there is a stunned blue, unbelieving person trying to break through the ice wall.

But after consuming a lot of ammunition, it is found that the effect is very small, and I am afraid that it will not be easily wasted.

Players like them who are willing to ignore consumption are a minority after all.

If there were, most of them were fleet organizations.

Not to mention which fleet is really so arrogant, willing to break through the ice wall.

Even if it is penetrated, the subsequent collapse will cause huge losses to the fleet.

So.

It's hard not to wonder what the system really intended.

Of course, it is not excluded that they are indeed on their backs, so unlucky to come across this sharp ice rock.

Because Goldfinger said that this strange substance generally exists in the sea at a depth of 3,000 to 20,000 meters.

The location where they are now is only more than 2,800 meters.

Isn't it bad luck to come across something that doesn't belong to this depth at this depth?

"Alright, let's move on."

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Meng Lei said in the communicator:

"Next, everyone be careful, no matter what you see or hear, notify me as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

"Okay Commander!"

The sound of everyone answering was heard in the headphones.

Meng Lei also sat in the driver's seat, looking at the sonar display on the side.

In the entire fleet, the two submarines of the Guixu and the Shenlong have upgraded their sonar systems to the top.

The detection range is up to two kilometers.

It's not that Meng Lei picks the door and doesn't want to upgrade other submarines.

First, it is unnecessary, and second, it plays a certain role in restraint and balance.

Otherwise, everyone in the team will be full-class submarines.

The flagship does not have any advantages, relying on a single mouth, relying on what to restrain others.

There's nothing you can do about it.

What should be weakened must be appropriately weakened.

When the fleet system is almost formed, you can consider the problem of everyone under your command going hand in hand.

Time, minute by minute in the boring voyage.

The tunnel seems to have no end in sight, stretching into the distance.

An hour passed, and the border was not visible at all.

Count it out.

From the time they entered the tunnel until now, they had already run a distance of more than forty kilometers.

There is only half the way between it and the outpost.

The surrounding scene has not changed in the slightest.

The passage also seems to be never-ending, with no exit in sight.

This is not the same as the tunnel that Meng Lei had just crossed before, when he encountered a different species of anglerfish.

In that tunnel, there are dense holes everywhere that extend in all directions.

It is not known where it leads, but at least it proves that the rock formations are constantly changing.

And now this is the case.

It's like driving on a tunnel road inside a mountain, and the scenery is the same.

Inexplicably, there is a sense of déjà vu trapped in an infinite loop.

It's weird.

Fortunately, along the way, there was no danger.

Not even to mention the danger, not even a single fish was encountered on the road.

The upper and lower sides are completely bare and bare rocks, and there are no plants growing in them, making it extremely desolate.

Such an environment made the rest of the fleet not even interested in chatting.

can only dive silently in the communication channel, boring peep screen.

But.

During this period, Meng Lei made two more businesses.

One is an invitation from a new customer, and the other is the addition of thirty sets of equipment to the Winter Fleet.

In terms of numbers, the size of the Winter Fleet has to be expanded to at least forty people.

If the Kyushu Fleet is still there, I'm afraid the scale will never be much worse than the Winter Fleet, or even higher.

But now......

It is estimated that in the entire waterway, the Winter Fleet should be able to be called the head of the dragon.

However, Meng Lei was not in a hurry.

The development of the heavy fleet is not for a moment.

The further back you go, the more concentrated the players become, and the easier it is to expand your fleet.

At this time, let him waste a lot of time, wait for the people to gather after reporting the coordinates, and wait until the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse.

Besides, even if you recruit people, you have to get out of this tunnel first.

Otherwise, people would not be able to find such a strange place.

Keep digging deeper.

It was soon nine o'clock in the evening.

During this time, Meng Lei called off the fleet and ate the rest of the food separately.

He also poured some water on each of the three people who were still unconscious, and replenished some water.

These guys don't know when they'll wake up.

If you continue to faint like this, you will die on the ship in less than two days, which would be really sad.

But there is no way, where to find a doctor for them at this time, get liquid food.

You can only take one step at a time, and then we'll talk about it later.

After dinner, everyone returned to their respective boats.

Meng Lei took off his coat and simply exercised.

At about half past nine o'clock, Huo Ye's shout suddenly came from everyone's headphones:

Meng ...... Commander Meng, there is a situation, there is a situation ahead! ”

For several hours, everything had been peaceful, and everyone was a little used to this kind of tranquility.

Huo Ye's sudden voice suddenly startled everyone.

In particular, his voice sounded a little eager, a little shocked.

Even the tone has changed!

Hearing this, Meng Lei couldn't care about getting dressed.

Running to the driver's seat with a pair of pants in his pocket, he asked:

"What's the matter, slowly, what's the situation?"

"There's something! There's something ahead! ”

The obvious inhalation sound came, and Huo Ye shouted with a slight trembling voice:

"There's something on the sonar display, it's right in front, I'll go! What a big piece! ”

"One piece?"

Meng Lei muttered in his heart: "What does this adjective mean?" ”

Then.

He also came to the driver's seat and hurriedly looked up at the sonar map.

When you see the image presented on the 3D map.

Suddenly, Meng Lei was also stunned.

"I'll go! What the hell! ”

He couldn't help but be shocked.

The picture that appeared in front of him was beyond his comprehension, and it was really unprecedented.

Just see the edge of the detection range of the sonar display.

There is a large strange silhouette that emits blue light, and it is extremely spectacular!

Normally.

The sonar display only shows a red circular spot when it detects an anomaly.

This is true even for the shipwrecks that I encountered before.

It's just that the anomaly represented by the wreck is larger than the ordinary anomaly.

The exception is the alien relic.

Not only is it shimmering with purple, but it is also oval in shape.

But at the very least, this is still within the acceptable range, and it does show a small dot on the sonar display.

However, what Meng Lei saw now could no longer be called an anomaly.

To put it in a more apt word.

Should it be an "anomalous group"?

Or is it an "anomalous ball"?

Meng Lei didn't know how to describe it.

It's just that the spot of light is too huge, and it's continuous.

The reason why Huo Ye said that it was a piece was that there was nothing wrong with it at all.

Crucially, for the first time, its base tone has also undergone a noticeable change.

It's no longer the same red, it's a brilliant blue!

A large blue light curtain, the whole is irregular, and the incomparably vast crosses the front, occupying almost half of the width of the entire tunnel!

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

Other words.

The size of this thing must be at least more than 500 meters!

And in the very center of this light curtain.

There is clearly a slender pillar of light, directly connected to the top of the tunnel, and it is unknown where it eventually leads.

Meng Lei was shocked at the time.

I can't imagine what it is.

"Brother Huo, Commander Meng, what did you two see? What's up ahead? ”

At this time, Ning Wen's puzzled voice came from the earphones.

Huo Ye still replied in a trembling tone in an extremely shocked tone:

"No...... I don't know, it's such a big blue light curtain, I've never seen it before! ”

"A slice?! Light curtains? ”

Wang Qi also frowned, and said in disbelief: "Could it be, it's something as strange as the ice wall just now, right?" ”

"I don't know." Huo Ye shook his head and said, "It seems that that thing is not flat, it is very three-dimensional. ”

"Huh? What the hell is that? Why do we keep coming across something weird? ”

Ning Wen wanted to cry without tears, but felt extremely depressed.

Ever since the Kyushu fleet encountered the shipwreck, the style of painting seems to have begun to change abruptly.

It's a painted skin parasite, it's an alien relic, and then ice rocks emerge.

These other players don't necessarily run a thousand kilometers without a single thing, but it happens to them one after another.

Well, now the inexplicable thing is here again.

It's like fate has been put on a DeBuff, where you go, what you don't do.

Then.

Huo Ye saw that Meng Lei didn't express his opinion for a long time, and couldn't help but shout:

"Commander, what do you think? Do we want to move forward? ”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the communicator.

Everyone was waiting for Meng Lei's reply.

As everyone knows.

Meng Lei was looking at the golden words that appeared in front of him at the moment, like looking at the introduction of a map, in a daze.

(D12 Outpost: Mining Production Area; A basic production area for processing raw ore and refining production resources. ）

(Outpost D12: Mooring Dock; It can be used for ships to dock in an orderly manner and can go directly to the central area. ）

(Outpost D12: Shipyard; A factory area integrating manufacturing, improvement, repair, and maintenance)

(Outpost D12: Medical District; A place of healing. ）

……

Yes.

When Meng Lei focused his attention and locked his gaze on the uneven blue light curtain.

The gold finger, which almost never dropped the chain, once again came into play.

What Meng Lei never expected was.

This area covered in a blue halo is actually an outpost that has long been abandoned!

The reason why it is said to be abandoned.

Because before Goldfinger gave a detailed description of the area, the outpost was first explained in writing.

(Outpost D12, an advance base established by human pioneers in the early days of colonizing aliens and opening up the Lower Sector Passage.)

After the main structure of the shallow area was perfected, it was used as a temporary transfer station between the shallow area and the surface.

As contact with the surface gradually disappeared, it was gradually abandoned.

For a period of time, it was occupied by a pirate organization and completely lost contact with the Alliance.

The reason for the abandonment is unknown, please be vigilant when exploring.

You might be able to find something of great value here! ）

An abandoned outpost!

It was once occupied by pirates!

Meng Lei didn't think of it anyway.

Before reaching the outpost gathering place required by the mission objective, you can actually encounter an abandoned outpost during the voyage!

This kind of thing can obviously give people a very strange feeling.

It's like playing a game, leaving the novice village on the way to the main city.

By chance, I went off the rails, but I stumbled upon an abandoned main city!

Excited, excited, confused, puzzled, shocked......

All kinds of emotions lingered in his heart, making Meng Lei's breathing involuntarily shortened.

"Commander? Commander Meng? ”

"Commander, are you alright?"

"Why don't you speak?"

At this time, the shouts of the crowd sounded again in the headphones.

Meng Lei finally came back to his senses and took a deep breath.

"I'm here!"

"Whew~ Finally there is a reaction."

Huo Ye let out a long sigh and said with some concern:

"I haven't spoken for a long time, so I'm still thinking of you."

After a pause, Huo Ye said again:

"What do you say now? I don't know what kind of strange thing it is in front of me, should we go over and have a look? ”

"Go! A must go! ”

Meng Lei's tone suddenly became a little excited, startling everyone else.

Realizing that he was out of shape, Meng Lei coughed lightly and explained:

"Just now I was thinking, the shape of this thing seems to have been seen somewhere, and after thinking about it for a long time, I finally had a little idea."

Hearing this, everyone was slightly stunned.

Immediately after, without waiting for Huo Ye to ask, Ning Wen couldn't wait to take the lead and hurriedly asked:

"Commander, what do you think? What the hell is that up there? ”

"Outpost!"

Meng Lei cleared his throat and added in a deep voice:

"An abandoned outpost!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the communicator.

Everyone was stunned.

After a brief silence, there was a commotion.

"What?! Outpost?! ”

"How can there be an outpost in this undersea tunnel where birds don't?"

"What the hell is going on?"

"Aren't we still far from the gathering place? How did this get there? Crossed? ”

"Abandoned, what do you mean? Too bad to use? ”

……

Several crew members were babbling over the communicator.

Even HR Wang Qi, who has always been more steady, couldn't help but exclaim.

The first reaction of everyone when they learned the truth was similar to that of Meng Lei just now.

All kinds of emotions are intertwined, and they all feel unbelievable!

In the long, desolate tunnel of rock formations, there is an abandoned outpost.

This kind of thing is really incredible.

"Ahem......"

Meng Lei coughed lightly twice and motioned for everyone to be quiet.

Then he said:

"I've seen outposts like this in that shipwreck before.

The exterior of the building is very similar to the outline shown on the sonar display.

From this, I can tell that there must be an abandoned outpost ahead! ”

Hearing this, Ning Wen immediately threw out a question:

"Why is it abandoned? Can't it be in use? What if it's still operating? ”

Meng Lei had already thought of his words, shook his head, and said:

"Impossible!

Not to mention that the system can't get us to get to the gathering place in advance

The aborigines of this world are in contact.

If this outpost is still in use, we can just stop halfway through it, avoid the danger of ice collapse, and wait until the situation stabilizes.

In that case, the seven-day time limit would be meaningless.

Plus, we're less than a kilometer away from that outpost now.

But do you see any light ahead?

If it's still in operation, the aborigines there can't all be smeared and worked, right?!

So, this outpost is definitely abandoned! ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone fell silent.

After carefully pondering what Meng Lei said, he felt that it was not unreasonable.

At this time, among the second wave of waking up crews, the man with a more timid voice spoke again.

"But why should the natives here abandon this outpost?

Could it be that something terrible happened here? ”

As soon as he said this, he said.

The others hadn't thought much of it, and were still reveling in the shock of their chance encounter with the outpost.

But after hearing this.

Suddenly, everyone felt that their backs involuntarily began to feel cold.

There was a tense and strange aura that gradually began to spread.

That's right!

It was not an easy task to build an outpost in a rock tunnel nearly three thousand meters deep into the sea.

It's good, there's no reason to give up easily.

Either there has been a major accident, such as contamination with radioactive material, which makes it uninhabitable.

"High in the Sky"

Or, or something terrible has happened.

As a result, everyone had to give up and was forced to transfer.

Either way, it doesn't seem good!

"Commander...... Are we still going? ”

Ning Wen's weak voice sounded, and before he started, he wanted to retreat.

Meng Lei smiled and said fiercely:

"Go! With such a big treasure in front of you, why don't you go?!

Even if it's full of painted skin parasites, you have to take it down for Lao Tzu! ”
