Alien Relic Hunter

If that's the case, it won't be the deep-sea giant eel's turn to besiege the Pioneer...

The tentacles of the fusion body can extend all the way beyond the submarine plateau, so it is naturally easy to drag the icebreaker on the sea into the abyss.

Could it be that this undersea city was covered by an insulating detection "barrier", which resulted in the fusion body not attacking the icebreaker, and the people on the icebreaker not discovering this undersea city?

This hypothesis is somewhat possible, but...

"What?!"

Ke Lan suddenly felt that his feet were empty, and his whole body fell down again!

"What's going on..." Ke Lan subconsciously looked at the drainage airbag on his side. However, the appearance of the airbag was intact and there was no air leakage. But just a second ago, the balance between gravity and buoyancy was still there. state, but now, Ke Lan is rapidly sinking into the deep sea——

"...It's a liquid cliff!" He suddenly reacted. This is a not very common natural phenomenon. In the ocean, due to the different salinity, water temperature and water pressure of seawater at different depths, as the As the depth increases, several layers of "pycnoclines" will appear in the vertical direction of the seawater. These seawaters are clearly layered and there will be almost no circulation and blending with each other... But in some places, the boundaries between these layers will Appear and disappear, forming a "buoyant fault" like a cliff.

In the old era, liquid cliffs could be said to be the number one killer of submarines, but since humans applied "light-sensitive density meters" to submarine operations, there have been very few submarines that accidentally entered the liquid cliffs... But the detection on Ke Lan happened to be All the equipment failed, and it was impossible to defend against this liquid cliff that was impossible to detect with the naked eye.

"You must float up immediately... Otherwise, if you exceed the critical depth, you will really be buried under the sea!" Ke Lan took out the compressed air bottle again, trying to inflate the drainage airbag to obtain greater buoyancy, but just as he was operating At that moment, the air-tight valve of the drainage airbag suddenly burst, and the gas inside was immediately squeezed out by the huge water pressure, forming a long series of bubbles!

"Fuck!"

Obviously, in the encounter with the fusion body, the damaged equipment was not just the propeller - first it was quickly sucked into the seabed by a huge force, and then all the gas in the air bag was released in just a few seconds... …These actions will cause irreversible serious damage to the air-tight valve. No matter how strong these parts are, they still have a tolerance limit after all…

"Today is really... misfortunes never come singly." Feeling the increasing pressure around him, Ke Lan sighed with some regret.

He has tried his best, but in this situation, only a miracle can save him.

It seemed as if a pair of big hands were vigorously rubbing Ke Lan's internal organs. His vision began to turn black, and his ears were filled with buzzing buzzes - the effect of the muscle strengthening drug had ended, and that kind of mind-blowing... The unbearable pain reappeared, and a fishy-sweet smell surged up from his throat. In addition, he could also feel some viscous liquid flowing out of his nostrils and ears.

"I'm so reluctant."

He closed his eyes, but at this moment, he suddenly saw a strong white light - this light was as blazing as the sun, burning his eyes even through his eyelids, and there was only A perfect piece of pure white!

"How is it possible that there is a sun on the bottom of the sea..."

Ke Lan tried his best to open his eyes, but he couldn't see anything except white.

"Is it... a hallucination when I was about to die?"

He stretched out his hand, but he couldn't see his arm. It seemed that even his body was melted in the blazing light.

"What kind of thing is this... If it's an illusion... I hope to see... an angel sister with long breasts and thighs... come and take me to heaven..."

"Oh, I almost forgot...I am an atheist...There is no place for me in heaven..."

Gradually, Ke Lan's consciousness began to blur. He could no longer feel the existence of his body, and even his thinking began to become a little stagnant.

…

…

"Why did you faint again... Hey, I'm still alive?" When Ke Lan regained consciousness, the first thing he saw was a pile of wet sand. Then, he found that he was actually He stood on a beach with his butt raised to the sky...

beach? !

Ke Lan immediately wanted to jump up, but the bulky deep-diving suit on his body restricted his movements - not only did he fail to jump up, but he fell to one side, smashing a human figure out of the mud. of shallow pits.

"What the hell is going on?!...I didn't...didn't I fall into the deep sea? Where is this?" Just one movement of turning over almost used up all his strength.

Behind him is a bare beach, nothing but sand soaked in seawater. A little further away, there is a long strip of exposed bedrock that has been eroded into strange shapes.

Is this land... or an island?

When Ke Lan turned to look at the sea, the scene on the sea made him freeze in place——

A city, a typical Alpha civilization city composed of countless towers, is standing on the sea in the distance... Moreover, in the sky above this city, countless aircraft that humans have never seen are flying back and forth. , channels constructed by holographic projections form a sophisticated and complex transportation network above the city...

This is not a ruin, but a "living" Alpha civilization city!

"This... is absolutely impossible!" Ke Lan gritted his teeth and said word by word.

If such a city existed, it would have been discovered by humans long ago!

Soon, he discovered something was wrong - as time went by, some buildings disappeared strangely, while some new buildings appeared silently at the other end of the city.

"So that's it."

This is not a real city, but a mirage... As the clouds move and the light is disturbed, the city will undergo seemingly strange changes - the lower half of a tall tower is completely missing, The upper part is still "suspended" steadily in mid-air. What's more, the entire building has been turned upside down, making it look like it is in a time and space that is completely confused with its surroundings.

The scene represented by this mirage is probably tens of thousands of years away from what it is now - there have also been mirages "from ancient times" on the earth.

Compared with this mirage, what Ke Lan wants to know more at this moment is what happened to him after he fell into coma, and why he did not sink to the bottom of the sea, but appeared in this strange place.

At that depth, you can only sink deeper and deeper. Even if you encounter an undercurrent, you will not be able to wash yourself to the surface... What's more, the nearest coast to the Pioneer icebreaker is hundreds of nautical miles away, even all the way. Even if the wind was favorable, he would have to float for more than ten days before he could reach the shore.

The deep diving suit is fully enclosed. In more than ten days, all the oxygen generating agent has been used up. Ke Lan has also been suffocated to death, but now, there is still about three thirds of the oxygen generating agent left. one.

The time he spent unconscious could not exceed eight hours at most.
