Alien Relic Hunter

The salty sea water rushed in from all directions, and soon covered the insteps of the two people. In the blink of an eye, it was already submerged to the middle of the calves, and was about to reach the knees.

"Hell!" Thirty-three cursed, and quickly buckled the full-coverage respirator mask hanging on his waist on his face.

The full-coverage breathing mask can completely isolate harmful gases in the air, and can naturally be used in underwater environments. However, the problem is that Sansan did not bring a diving suit. According to this water filling speed, in a few minutes, the underwater pressure will be It is so big that the human body cannot bear it.

The sea water has reached the waist, but Ke Lan still stands there, indifferent.

"Ke Lan? Hello? What's wrong with you?" Thirty-three walked up to Ke Lan with some difficulty, first helped him put on the breathing mask, and then knocked on the piece of transparent resin in front of the mask, "This The place is about to be flooded, why are you here instead?"

"I'm not in a daze." Ke Lan said lightly, "I was just thinking that it would be good to end it here..."

"What are you talking about?" Thirty-three was startled, then grabbed Ke Lan's shoulder and shook it hard a few times, "Is there something wrong with your brain?"

Ke Lan suddenly felt a stinging pain on the back of his neck. Several sharp thorns sprouted from the inside of Ze Luo's transformed armor, which directly pierced the place on his neck where the pain nerves are densest. This stinging pain immediately made Ke Lan tremble. With a jolt, the whole person felt as if he had woken up from a long nightmare...

Ke Lan realized with some trepidation that his thoughts and emotions seemed to have been affected by the information just now, especially the desperate words on the floor tiles. When Ke Lan thinks about it now, he still can't help but feel a sense of decadence in his heart. , the emotion of wanting to "display".

Could this be considered part of the test?

Fortunately, Thirty-three and Ze Luo woke him up in time, otherwise, Ke Lan might really drown himself alive like this.

"Are you awake?" Seeing the change in Ke Lan's eyes, Sansan San stretched out his palm and waved it vigorously in front of his eyes a few times, "Time is running out, make a decision quickly!"

The sea water that came from nowhere was already higher than the two people's heads. As the two breathed, a long string of tiny bubbles squeezed out of the exhaust port of the breathing mask and floated upward.

"In a moment, we will be crushed by the water pressure!" Thirty-three's voice came across the water body, which sounded very vague, "No matter what you want to do, you must at least float to the surface of the water first! "

As soon as Thirty-Three finished speaking, the seawater around the two of them was directly pushed away by an invisible barrier.

Ke Lan said: "Don't rush up to the surface yet, let's find out where the sea water is pouring in from."

"Tsk, tsk, the space ability is really easy to use..." Thirty-three glanced at the sea water separated by the space barrier with some envy. Although he had seen this magical scene countless times, but every time Once I see it, I still feel an incredible feeling in my heart.

"By the way, can Zeluo's space ability be used for storage?" Thirty-three asked, "I have read some novels, and the protagonists in them have storage props such as space rings and dimensional pockets, which can be convenient. . Why don't you let Zeluo try to see if he can open up such a storage space so that we don't have to carry all the equipment on our backs. We can even try to install the Yagunak Tol Go in and take it with you.”

"It can't be done." Ke Lan shook his head, "If you tear open a subspace similar to a wormhole, then let's not talk about whether the things you throw in will be torn or flattened by the subspace. Once Once thrown in, it is basically impossible to get it back. Moreover, every time the space is torn open, a huge amount of energy is consumed. With Zeluo's current ability, he can only tear a hole about the size of a hair's cross-section. Her power will be drained... As for the means of compressing space or folding space, we also need to face the problems of energy consumption and storage damage."

"Isn't there similar technology inside Yagunaktor? The space inside the battleship is much larger than it looks from the outside. How does it do it?" Thirty-three asked.

"The battleship Yagunaktor itself is a masterpiece of space technology... Even the Alpha civilization cannot reproduce this battleship. If you want to crack its technology, I think humans will have to spend at least 100,000 yuan. More than a year." Speaking of this, Ke Lan couldn't help but recall the previously unlocked fragments in his mind... Was Yagunaktor really built by humans who escaped from the earth?

If the time perception of those memory fragments was not disrupted, those people should have built the current Yagunaktor in only a few generations... At this speed, even the "Big Explosion of Technology" There are no words to describe it.

It can probably only be described as a "deus ex machina".

However, it cannot be ruled out that the technology used to build Yagunaktor did not come from humans... These technologies may have been left behind by an alien civilization, but they "entered" those people in some unknown way. inside the brain.

This group of people's heads didn't explode, or even went crazy... It was really a miracle.

Logically speaking, these technologies should also be regarded as "forbidden knowledge". Unfortunately, Ke Lan has never seen the true identity of the crew members of these engineering ships - he is quite curious about the survival of the earth outside these arks. Or, have you turned into a monster?

"Is this water... considered the third trial?" Thirty-three simply changed the topic.

Those "zombies" just now have been slaughtered by Ke Lan, and even the corpses have been "eaten" cleanly. If those things are considered one of the eight trial procedures, then they should be considered to have passed, right? Thirty-three thought so.

"I don't know, but I think it may have something to do with Yaguna Kotor... Not only those trial procedures, but also the entire Tower of Babel is inseparable from Yaguna Kotor." Ke Lan said .

Those "zombie" bodies retain memories related to Yagunaktor, which later allowed Ke Lan to briefly get in touch with Yagunaktor, and now, Yagunaktor's The end point of the route was changed to Zhonghai, and immediately salty seawater rushed in from all sides. It would be absolutely nonsense to say that there is no connection between the two.

"The Tower of Babel, Yaguna Kotor, the Undersea City, the Nameless Desert Island... and the remains of the engine blown up by the 776 Special Forces Team..." Ke Lan murmured. He felt that among these things Everything is related, and nothing exists independently.

As long as these clues can be connected together, the truth should be revealed.

While Ke Lan was thinking, he took Thirty-Three around the tower, but they did not find any "water outlet" or any obvious undercurrent. The seawater seemed to "come from the floor" It "seeped out", or rather, it seemed more like it appeared in this place out of thin air.

"Isn't this seawater teleported in?" Thirty-three guessed, "When we entered the Tower of Babel, it was teleported in... Since people can be teleported, it is normal to be able to teleport seawater."

"Yes." Ke Lan nodded, "Based on our knowledge, this is the only explanation that makes sense."

"Thankfully, it pours the water in slowly. If tens of millions of tons of seawater were sent in all at once, I might have been crushed into a meat pie before I even had time to put on the mask." Thirty-three sighed in a low voice. .

"By the way, from now on, you must follow me closely." Ke Lan said, "The current environment reminds me of the original diving test... I never expected it at the beginning. Diving could turn out to be the last time."

"Ha... the underwater city was banned after that, right." Thirty-three said, "Can you tell me the details of that exploration? I have always been curious, what happened to you under the water? What things."

"In that test dive, I went into the water with Liao Zilang, and I always kept a distance of about ten meters between him and me." Ke Lan recalled, "But the moment I turned my head, Liao Zilang came out of my He disappeared around me... He told me after I went back that there was an undercurrent at that time and the two of us were forced to separate."

"But actually?" Thirty-three's interest was aroused and he asked.

"Actually, from my perspective, the water has always been calm." Ke Lan pulled out a spare safety rope and connected Thirty-Three to himself. "That's why I worry about whether this kind of thing will happen." Let’s do it again.”

"There shouldn't be any undercurrents now. Zeluo's space barrier has separated the sea water. Walking under the water is like walking on the ground." Thirty-three looked around and said.

"It's better to be careful." Ke Lan said while lowering his head to handle the lock of the safety rope, "After I and Liao Zilang were separated, I arrived at the 'Undersea City'... not the 'Pioneer' 'The one scanned by the icebreaker's sonar is the other one located on the sea platform."

"Uh... Is that... the one you're talking about?" Thirty-three said in a trembling tone.

"What?!" Ke Lan was startled and raised his head suddenly.

Thirty-three is raising his neck and pointing his finger directly upward.

Ke Lan looked in the direction he pointed and saw that the water surface had disappeared, and a city built on the sea platform hung like a reflection not far above them.

"That's right." Ke Lan felt goosebumps rising all over his skin. With just one glance, he was sure that what was hanging above their heads at this time was the "Undersea City No. 2".

The city is hanging quietly on the inverted sea platform. Stone pillars with huge eyes carved on the tops stand all over the city, like some kind of traffic signs, exuding a seemingly bleak but dark atmosphere. The sea water has a very penetrating green light.

And not far from the edge of the city, there is a rift valley like a scar...

Abyss Hatchery...

"This, this is simply unbelievable... Are we in the Tower of Babel or at the bottom of the Zhonghai Sea?" Thirty-three whispered, "Isn't this thing also a shadow, like a mirage? "

"No, this is an entity." Ze Luo's voice sounded in Thirty-three's ears.

"...Is it a transmission channel that connects this Tower of Babel to the seabed of Zhonghai? Is this how the sea water pours in?" Thirty-three said.

"No, Ze Luo didn't feel any spatial anomalies, at least not around us." Ke Lan rejected this speculation, "Moreover, the sea water just came up from the ground, not poured down from above our heads."

"Then where are we now?" Thirty-three suddenly paused, "This...could it be that the tower we were teleported in was not the tower in the gray mist forest, but another tower at the bottom of the sea?"

"If you really want to say that, I would rather think that the undersea city is built inside the Tower of Babel... rather than in the sea." Ke Lan whispered.

"Then during your test dive, you were teleported to this Babel Tower... If you think about it, isn't this your second time entering this tower?"

"It doesn't matter whether the underwater city is in the tower or the tower is in the sea." Ke Lan shook his head, "You are right, this should be the third trial procedure."

"The third trial... is to break into this underwater city?" Thirty-three couldn't help but swallowed, "Hiss... an S-class ruins that has barely been explored. To be honest, I suddenly became a little excited. ."

"If I were to rate it, the underwater city should be SS-level. The same goes for this Tower of Babel." Ke Lan said.

When the ruins rating system was first established, the SS level represented the level of the most dangerous ruins. However, after a simplification plan, the SS level ruins were cancelled. All four ruins previously identified as SS level were included in the S level. .

To be precise, the SS level has not been cancelled, but the judging criteria have been greatly improved, so that this level has always been left blank.

The four ruins that were briefly classified as SS-level before were in no way comparable to the Tower of Babel or this undersea city in terms of danger or the secrets they concealed.

"You should have explored this underwater city once, right? Is there anything we need to pay attention to?" Thirty-three asked.

Senior hunters will never be arrogant enough to think that they can solve all problems on their own. People who are humble and cautious tend to live longer. For any exploration operation, even if it is just a D-level ruins, Sansan will carefully check all relevant information and information before setting off, let alone a super ruins that Ke Lan calls SS-level. .

But fortunately, the person who had explored this super ruins was now by his side, which gave Thirty-three some peace of mind.

But Ke Lan's next words instantly made a hole in Sansan San's heart.

"Actually, I stayed in the Undersea City for less than twenty minutes... The level of exploration can basically be considered zero."
