Alien Relic Hunter

"Major Chi, and Uncle Nick... why are you here?" Valentina was also full of doubts, "This is... a deep submersible? By the way, do you know where this is? The Blasphemer's External Environment Monitoring The system shows that the water pressure outside is terrible, and ordinary vehicles cannot reach this place."

"This is the bottom of Zhonghai." Chi Hanfeng sighed, "It's the undersea city that Lao Gou and the others mentioned before."

"This is the city under the sea?" Valentina muttered in a low voice. Although after the transmission was completed and she saw the ruins of these underwater buildings, she vaguely remembered this place and the mysterious city under the sea. The ruins were connected together, but it was not until she heard Chi Hanfeng tell her that this was the undersea city that she was sure that she had really come to this S-class "I only heard its name but never saw its form" In the ruins.

After all, before she officially became a relic hunter, the sea area where the Undersea City was located had been banned by the Undead Crew Club.

As the only S-class ruins that are officially banned, the underwater city has been a hot topic in the hunter circle in the past two years. In addition, only the advance team and the Hunting God Hunting Group explored this ruins. Later, No hunting group or lone hunter has ever received permission to explore, and the sense of mystery makes those hunters who boast of extraordinary strength feel itchy.

Many people say that Ark's top management discovered incredible treasures in the Undersea City. In order to prevent ruin hunters from getting a piece of the pie, they decided to seal up the entire ruins and even the entire sea area to monopolize this S Level ruins development work.

In fact, if you look carefully, this statement is full of loopholes. In so many S-class ruins, there are a large number of Alpha civilization legacies that can change human society. However, before this, Ark officials have never banned any S-class ruins... Even a "special ruin" like Yagunaktor adopts a relatively open bidding model. There is no reason to seal up such an undersea ruin that is extremely difficult to explore.

With the arguments of a few discerning people, the second theory gradually surfaced: there is something in the undersea city that can destroy the entire ark and the entire human civilization. In order to keep that thing buried deep under the sea forever, Only Ark's top management will decide to ban it.

Unfortunately, driven by human greed, most people believe in the first statement.

…

Even though her guess has been confirmed by the most trusted person, Valentina still has a strong sense of unreality at this time - you know, there are thousands of miles between Zhonghai and Gray Mist Forest. , even if you take the fastest warship, it will take several hours to fly this distance.

"Major Chi, are you exploring this ruins?" Valentina asked again, "But before Ke Lan left, didn't he say that he would devote all his manpower and material resources to the exploration of Yagunaktor? Why……"

Before Valentina finished asking, the hound interrupted her: "Do you think we came here on our own initiative?"

As he said that, the hound sneered: "Ha... We escaped all the way like a lost dog, and then were forcibly hijacked by some unknown force to this poor place. Thank you for finding us. If it had been delayed for a few more days, , there are probably only four corpses left in this iron coffin."

"This is not the place to talk." Ghost Owl suddenly interjected, "The thing we encountered before was not sure whether the torpedo killed it. Maybe it is wandering nearby now... My suggestion is to return to Asia first. Gunak Tor will make further plans.”

"Yagunaktor?" Valentina was stunned for a moment, "Also...here?"

"It's less than three hundred meters from the bottom of the sea." The hound said, "It's very close. It's so close that your Blasphemer can hit the bow of Yagunaktor if it floats a little way up."

"The ghost owl is right. This is indeed not a place to talk. The danger has not been eliminated." Chi Hanfeng agreed, "Valentina, our deep submersible has lost its ability to move. We need you to bring us back." Yagunakitor.”

"Okay." Valentina responded immediately. The Blasphemer mecha opened its arms and directly held the submersible in its arms. Driven by the propeller, the body and the submersible slowly moved upward. Float away.

Including Valentina, the five people were silent. Chi Hanfeng stared closely at the pile of large and small dashboards on the console, while the other three looked warily out of the portholes... The thought of Being able to escape from the desperate situation immediately, the desire to survive that had been somewhat dissipated by several people was immediately rekindled. In the process of escaping, the biggest threat was naturally the "monster" that looked like a ball of hair.

The atmosphere that was originally filled with a hint of joy at being saved once again became tense. The hound's huge aquiline nose was almost entirely pressed against the porthole, its nostrils were buzzing slightly, and even breathing became cautious. .

The Blasphemer mecha carried the deep submersible and floated out of the wreckage of the building, heading towards the water directly above the underwater city... One minute, two minutes... Until the fifth minute, Chi Hanfeng finally broke through This atmosphere of silence.

"wrong."

"What's wrong?" Hound asked immediately.

"Although the depth gauge is broken, I measured the rising speed of the Blasphemer mecha. According to this speed, we are now nearly 400 meters away from the seabed." Chi Hanfeng faced the hound's gaze and said, He said in a pause, "If Yagunaktor's position had not changed, we would have bumped into it by now."

"This..." The hound couldn't help but shuddered, and he felt a hair on his back. "Could it be that the shock wave just pushed us too far? We have already left the range of Yagunaktor."

Although Yagunaktor is inserted into the seawater at a vertical angle, the drop-shaped bow can still cover a seabed with a radius of several kilometers. No matter how violent the shock wave just now is, it is impossible to destroy the deep submersible. Launch this range.

"I've tried laser communication, acoustic communication and sonar in all directions... but I can't find Yagunaktor." Chi Hanfeng's face looked a little pale.

"It's impossible for such a big thing to just disappear!" the dog said decisively, "It must still be there, maybe it's only separated from us by a layer of sea water tens of meters away, but we can't see it. "

"Old dog, calm down and think carefully about how we got here." Chi Hanfeng said.

"Isn't it just that Yagunaktor's route was changed..." Hound's words stopped abruptly. After his facial expression changed many times, he finally settled on a face of shock and anger, "Your It means that after we left Yagunaktor, the route changed for the second time, and it has already left here?!"

Chi Hanfeng didn't speak, just nodded silently.

"Why? The person who modified the navigation...or in other words, the 'will' that modified the navigation, what was its purpose? Is it just to throw the four of us into this undersea city? Is it sick? If it If you want to kill us, there's no need to go to such great lengths, right?" The hound scratched the short hair on the back of his head and frowned.

"Things are not that simple. By the way, Valentina, tell me in detail what happened to you in the gray mist forest." Chi Hanfeng said.

From the moment she met Mo Jue's team of lumberjacks, Valentina kept talking about how she and Ke Lan and others got separated. After being alone, she tried many methods, but she could never find the correct direction in the gray fog. ——The method of determining the direction based on the concentration of fog at the beginning soon proved to be meaningless... Several times, after Valentina walked for a while in the direction of thicker fog, the fog in that direction It will suddenly become thinner, as if it has turned a 180-degree turn on the same spot.

But the motion recording equipment installed in the mecha clearly told her that from beginning to end, she walked in a straight line.

Valentina fell into a breakdown for a while, but just when she started breaking pots and controlling the Blasphemer mecha to run aimlessly in the gray fog forest, she suddenly crashed through a wall of fog. , came to an empty square without any fog.

In the center of the square, there stood a tower that could not be seen to the top. However, before Valentina could get closer to the tower to investigate carefully, a stone tablet... or rather a floor tile stepped on by the blasphemer suddenly gave off a soft gray color. The light wrapped the entire machine together, and the surrounding scenery began to gradually blur... Valentina, who had many teleportation experiences, was no stranger to this change. She knew that she must have triggered it inadvertently. A certain teleportation device, but just when she thought she would be teleported into that high tower, she found that she and the blasphemer had come to an underwater world with astonishing pressure. Everywhere she could see, there were ruins of the city. .

Valentina operated the Blasphemer and walked through the ruins until she reached the exact location before she discovered the deep submersible that had been smashed into the wreckage of the building. It was the only thing emitting light in the waters. Out of curiosity , she decided to take a closer look, and who knew that she actually heard the voices of Chi Hanfeng and the hound in the submersible.

"As you walked along, did you see... well, anything that moved, except for us?" Zhuoligetu asked.

"No." Valentina objected.

"According to the time point described by Valentina, when she was teleported here, the shock wave caused by the torpedo explosion had dissipated." Chi Hanfeng lowered his head, tapped his fingers on the table, and analyzed slowly, "So she was not affected by the shock wave... As for the place she arrived before teleporting..."

At this point, Chi Hanfeng's eyes suddenly lit up and he confirmed to Valentina: "Did you just say that there is a tower in the center of the square that can't be seen to the top?"

"Well... I can't see the top because the surrounding fog blocks my sight, but the part exposed outside the fog is at least several kilometers high." Valentina replied.

"But the mist doesn't come into contact with the tower, right?"

"Well... there is a gap between the tower and the fog."

"I probably know where that place is..." Chi Hanfeng nodded and said, "A tower several thousand meters high, anywhere in the gray fog forest, will break through the thick fog layer and expose the top of the tower to the outside... But according to the observation images from low-Earth orbit, there is no such tower. Then there is only one place that can tightly wrap the entire tower."

"In the core area, you accidentally broke into the core area of ​​the gray mist forest!" The hound finally reacted, "Good guy, the thing that wraps the tower is the 'fog mountain' in the core area! I didn't expect that the gray mist forest There is actually no fog in the core area of ​​the foggy forest, it’s like the eye of a calm storm… Speaking of which, where did Ke Lan contact us before?”

"I remember he said that he also successfully reached the core of the Gray Mist Forest and found the ruins of an Alpha civilization." Zhuoligetu recalled, "Could the ruins he mentioned be those of Valentina? Did you arrive at this high tower?"

"It should be right..." Chi Hanfeng tugged on a lock of short hair on his forehead and thought hard, "A series of things happened in the Gray Mist Forest, including what happened to Ke Lan and the others, what happened to Valentina, and Everything that happened here is obviously connected... But when it comes to finding the connection, there's no way to start... It's just a mess."

"Major Chi, what happened to you here...?" Valentina couldn't help but ask.

"It's a long story, so I'll tell you as briefly as possible." Chi Hanfeng said, "We were attacked by a mysterious fleet without warning, and then Ke Lan, who was far away in the Gray Mist Forest, came again. We somehow got in touch with Yagunaktor, and then used a 'weapon' hidden inside Yagunaktor to destroy the entire mysterious fleet. Later, we were considered traitors by the Undead Crew. Fortunately, the brothers of Fleet Zero chose to revolt and did not obey the orders of the Undead Crew to attack us... Out of helplessness, we had no choice but to take the survivors of Fleet Zero to escape from the original anchorage. We originally planned to go to Gray The foggy forest meets up with you, but the connection between Ke Lan and Yaguna Kotor was suddenly interrupted halfway. Yaguna Kotor's console was also locked, and he changed his destination to Zhonghai... …”

Halfway through Chi Hanfeng's words, the hound suddenly slapped his forehead, and then let out a scream because he touched the wound.

"Old dog, what's wrong with you?"

"I found that we made a very serious mistake!" Hound said through gritted teeth. "The route was modified before, obviously because of the spent nuclear beacon. When the transmission channel was opened, we should have thrown that thing into It was in the sea instead of staying on the ship... Now that Yagunaktor is missing, that thing must be causing trouble again!"
