Qi Qingming agreed to assist Mo Xun to "say" to the attending doctor, but in fact, as soon as he arrived at the infirmary, he immediately turned back, and assisted the doctor to give Mo Xun a detailed physical examination.

Then Mo Xun was told that he could not go into the water, especially not to dive, his lung and other visceral puncture wounds had not completely healed, and diving could easily be life-threatening.

So, Qi Qing silently hugged the counterweight iron and went to the deep pool at the base by herself.

The deepest part of the pool is 50 meters, and she asked a professional diving instructor to guide her, so that Mo Xun could only watch the monitoring on the shore and was absolutely not allowed to enter the water. Anyway, if Mo Xun gets wet, she won't practice.

Mo Xun could only watch obediently, or he would go to other serious work.

Mo Xun also thought about struggling to give personal guidance, but he was called away by the people from the base headquarters, there are really a bunch of meetings to open, and there is no time to watch the monitoring.

The next morning, when Mo Xun saw Qi Qing again, Qi Qing had already changed into combat clothes and equipment and was waiting to set off.

Mo Xun and Qi Qing were driven to the edge of the new lake, and there were experts and other staff in the temporary camp who had already made preliminary preparations.

The first to go into the water was Qi Qing, as well as two staff members, who had already dived a few times and knew the location of the whirlpool.

Mo Xun changed into a diving suit and waited beside him, in case something happened, he would be the first to go to the rescue. Although there was a doctor's order not to let him dive, but that was yesterday's doctor's order, and today, with the ability of a self-healing person, he claimed that he had been cured, and no one dared to reason with him.

Qi Qing had already seen the whirlpool from the video of the device, and when she actually dived nearby, she found that the whirlpool was not as big as she imagined, and the largest place was only the size of a basin, as if it would dissipate all at once.

However, the people guarding the base said that the whirlpool has been here from beginning to end, and it has always been this size, unless someone or equipment directly breaks into it, the whirlpool will become larger and push people or objects up the surface of the lake.

She carried the natural disaster information card in a waterproof bag and slowly approached the whirlpool.

Suddenly, the whirlpool trembled, like a rippling wave of water, and suddenly wrapped Qi Qing's body.

The other two accompanying personnel's head-mounted cameras had been faithfully recording the situation, waiting to watch carefully.

One looks at the whirlpool, the other looks at the surrounding environment, they all have wearable instruments and equipment, and someone said: "There are changes in magnetic fluctuations, and communication may be interfered with." ”

As soon as the words fell, Qi Qing's headset couldn't hear the sound.

Fortunately, the other two people were nearby, and they used sign language to explain the situation, but Qi Qing was not nervous, and did not resist the guidance of the whirlpool.

This time, instead of sending her to the surface of the lake, the whirlpool traveled parallel to the bottom of the lake.

Qi Qing also gestured to the other two, she looked at the oxygen for nearly an hour, she suspected that the whirlpool was something similar to Ruyi soil, some kind of controllable substance in the water, and after wrapping the designated person, it would be sent to the designated place according to a certain procedure.

A crack suddenly appeared at the bottom of the lake.

The other two were also surprised, they had dived many times, and they could draw the bottom of the lake with their eyes closed, and they were very sure that this crack did not exist before. As if sensing Qi Qing's arrival, as the vortex moved and translated, the crack also removed its camouflage and slowly unfolded, revealing a deeper unknown space.

Mo Xun lost the signal below on the shore and was a little anxious.

However, if it is in distress underwater, there will be other signals released, and it seems that the communication should be blocked for the time being, the equipment shows that there are abnormal magnetic field fluctuations underwater, and someone has placed observation equipment in the distance, and it can be seen that the three people under the water have left the coordinate position and moved to the crack at the bottom of the water with the whirlpool.

The fissure started at the beginning of the whirlpool, but it was thin, and the crack looked like a huge shell with a little gap, and the center was wider than the ends, just enough for a man to get into.

Qi Qing gestured and motioned for the other two to wait nearby, she hung up the safety rope and dived into the crack alone.

The light of the headlamp illuminated the narrow field of vision ahead, and everywhere else it was pitch black, as if it had actually swam into a giant shell, or perhaps the black hole of some sleeping monster.

Qi Qing found that the camera she was wearing was out of order, only the headlamp and shoulder light were still on, and she pulled the rope to signal to the other two, indicating that she was going to go deeper.

The space inside the fissure is wider than expected, like another lake, except that there is no daylight here.

Occasionally, something glowing swam by, a small transparent fish and shrimp the size of a finger.

This made Qi Qing feel a little relieved, it didn't seem to be the mouth of some monster, or inside the strange huge thing, it was the bottom of an ordinary lake.

The whirlpool still surrounded her, and if she wanted to leave it, the whirlpool would gently envelop her, not completely imprisoned.

She could feel herself diving almost vertically, but she didn't have the discomfort she felt as the depth and pressure of the dive increased, and she guessed that the whirlpool had created some kind of protective force field that counteracted the pressure around her. She even wanted to try if there was air in the whirlpool for her to breathe directly after taking off the oxygen mask.

Of course, to be careful, she didn't make that bold attempt. Modern detection equipment is not available, and it is not possible to see how deep it is, whether there is oxygen support or not, with or without it.

Finally, she saw the light of a new blockbuster.

It was like the outline of a city.

The reason why it glows is not because of the lights shining in the city, but because all kinds of glowing fish and algae clinging to the obviously man-made buildings, and I don't know how many years have passed, the original edges and corners of the buildings have long been discerned, and instead they have been rounded by attachments, like underwater hills and mountains.

The towering buildings and the endless streets all show that this was once a developed city similar to a modern city. And it wasn't born underwater, as if it had experienced something and was suddenly buried here.

For nearly 10,000 years, the lake and sea have long been invisible on the ground, and it has become a desert with no people, but this huge cavity seems to be retained under the ground, and this flooded ruin has not been disturbed.

She looked at the amount of oxygen that had been left for less than an hour, and she couldn't be in a hurry, with her speed and ability, it was impossible to completely walk this place in an hour, not even a simple survey.

Her equipment is not usable, and she is not an expert in this area, so it is better to bring the discovery back as soon as possible, go ashore, and let the experts be more fully prepared before coming down for archaeology.

Just as she pulled the rope and tried to swim back, a huge fish emerged from the darkness.

Qi Qing had never seen such a big fish up close, it looked like a large domestic carp that had been magnified a thousand times, with black and white round eyes with fins, pure black scales, and a chubby body, but this fish's eyes were bigger than a human head, and it could easily swallow a creature as big as a human when it opened its mouth.

No wonder there don't seem to be any medium and large other fish in this water, only small fish and small shrimp. So this big fish can't be hungry for a long time, right?

Qi Qing's heart sank, and she quickly pulled the rope three times. The person outside the crack has a mechanical winch, which can directly reel in the rope. But the whirlpool around her seemed reluctant to let her go, and kept wrapping her around her, taking her to the big fish.
