This vast wasteland is a bit like the dead and open land that I walked through shortly after entering the Tiankeng world. However, most of the rocks in this wasteland emit a faint fluorescence, less darkness and more light ...

The road under their feet was not difficult to walk, and in addition to not encountering any danger, the speed of everyone's progress was much faster.

However, walking in this wilderness with piles of rocks, it seems to have returned to the scene when I first entered the tiankeng. Ancient creatures, everyone always felt a sense of a world away, as if that fantastic place had only appeared in a dream.

After two short rests on the way, it was evening in the outside world. As far as the eye could see, a towering mountain with a lofty sky appeared faintly in front of it.

Ning Xiaofan took out the tablet computer, only a short part of the red main line displayed on the screen remained, and the direction at the end of the main line was the faintly visible mountain.

There is the destination called the Grotto, and it is finally time to make it through. Ning Xiaofan told everyone the news with a happy face. Fatty and the others couldn't help but cheered and cheered.

The so-called Wangshan ran dead horse, the distance of the mountain was really not close, Ning Xiaofan and his party walked for nearly two hours before they could roughly see the true face of the mountain.

It is said to be a big mountain, but the shape of the mountain is quite strange. The top of the mountain looks relatively flat, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. There are no steep peaks, and there are no continuous mountain ranges. It is like a huge rock standing alone at the end of the wasteland. , Looking around, it looks like a huge diamond-shaped volcano, and it looks like an artificially cast cube.

When they got closer, everyone also found that on the top of this huge cube stood a tall signal transmission tower, and several huge white radar pot lids, and there were caves of different sizes on the wall of the cube, which were shaped like beehives. , What's even more bizarre is that the cube also emits colorful fluorescence, giving people a sense of brilliance.

Seeing the artificial traces on the top, everyone couldn't help but let out a long breath, their eyes filled with joy, the grotto has arrived.

"Welcome everyone to Base No. 4—the Grotto."

Suddenly, a clear baritone voice came into everyone's ears, and this sudden voice startled everyone.

Where is this sound coming from?

While everyone was looking at each other, several searchlights flickered from the bottom of the cube in front of them, and the lampposts of the searchlights enveloped everyone's bodies, dazzling people's eyes.

But at this moment, there was only a rumbling sound, and at the bottom of the cube, a ray of light bloomed again. The light was a line at first, and then extended to the sides, and the light gradually became wider. Everyone took a closer look, only to find that it was A huge iron door slowly opened.

As the huge iron door opened, through the light, several figures could be vaguely seen appearing.

The scene in front of me is too sci-fi, shocking.

At this time, although everyone knew that this place called the Grotto was the final gathering place of various prospecting teams, they were still a little excited when those figures appeared. Such a friendly human being, it is unavoidable for everyone to feel uneasy and nervous.

Among the crowd, Ning Xiaofan was quite calm. Among the top-secret information given by Aunt Xiang, there was a detailed description of the grotto.

This place called the Grotto started secret construction a few years ago. It is the last base in the Tiankeng world, and it can also be called the No. 4 base. After several years of continuous construction and development, it is now The scale is issued, and there are people stationed all year round.

The grotto is also the final gathering place, transfer station, and supply place for all prospecting teams.

Ning Xiaofan also knew that in addition to the above functions, this grotto is also a scientific research institute with navigation functions. The map displayed on the tablet computer can be accurately located, because the transmission tower on the top has been functioning.Otherwise, it is estimated that Ning Xiaofan and his party do not know when and what month they will find this place.

Ning Xiaofan was able to remain calm because he knew in his heart that the Grotto, as the No. 4 base, can maintain video communication with the ground through the transmission tower. That is to say, the Grotto is under the monitoring of the ground, so it can guarantee absolute safety.

Coming out of the huge iron gate were five men and one woman. The one walking in the front was a man and a woman both wearing a field suit and a work card on their chest. The man and the woman were all over middle age, about 40 Left and right look.Followed by four armed men wearing headsets and holding Type 95.

The five men and one woman approached, and a middle-aged man in a field suit said with a smile on his face, "Welcome, welcome to the grotto, who is your team leader? Please come out and speak."

"I'm the team leader." Ning Xiaofan stepped forward and said.

"Hello, hello, my surname is Tang, Tang Yaoqiang, the first director of the Grotto Base..." The man who claimed to be Zhang Yaoqiang stepped forward to shake hands with Ning Xiaofan, and then introduced the middle-aged woman beside him: "This It's Zhang Jiayi, the second director of the Grotto Base, welcome."

"Hello, my name is Ning Xiaofan, the captain of the advance prospecting team." Ning Xiaofan also introduced himself.

"It turns out that you are Captain Ning Xiaofan. Thank you for your hard work. In the past few days, I have heard your name so hard that my ears are almost callused..."

Listening to what he said, Ning Xiaofan seemed to know that there was such a person as himself, slightly startled: "Have you heard of me?"

"No, speaking of it, you and I belong to the New Australia Group, and can be regarded as colleagues. In the past few days, the higher-ups have asked you about your situation from time to time..."

Someone above asked themselves?Maybe it's either Aunt Xiang or Sister Yulan. Well, the godmother is the person in charge of the base, so she might ask about herself.

In his mind, Ning Xiaofan glanced at the work card on his chest, which had the logo of Xinao Group on it, and smiled and said: "I made the people above worry, but fortunately, we have finally reached the end of the land."

Tang Yaoqiang said with emotion: "Yes, if you don't arrive again, I don't know how to answer the above. Fortunately, you finally arrived safely. Hehe, your advance prospecting team is the latest to arrive..."

"Oh, Director Tang, are there any other previous teams that have arrived?"

"Yes, several advance prospecting teams have arrived one after another, but your team has not arrived. I am worried, and I am considering whether to send a small team to find you. Look at you, the road is on the way. A bit of a surprise, right?"

"There was an accident..." Ning Xiaofan replied vaguely, without explaining the reason. Before leaving, he signed a non-disclosure agreement, and everything he saw and encountered on the road would be kept secret. A written report could only be made after returning to the company. , to the direct supervisor, that is, the goblin.

Tang Yaoqiang seemed to know what was going on, he didn't care about Ning Xiaofan's vague response, and he didn't ask any questions, he just smiled: "It's good when you get there, I can imagine the hard work you have had all this way, when you get here, don't worry, you can be at ease Take a rest for a while."

As Tang Yaoqiang said, he glanced at Professor Zhao and Li Wanting, with doubts in his eyes: "Captain Ning, the structure of your team is not big, right? I remember that there is a rule for the number of advance teams, no more than seven People, your team seems to have a few more people."

The meaning of Tang Yaoqiang's words is rather cryptic, but the meaning is very clear. Professor Zhao in the team is too old, and there is a rather beautiful woman, who is obviously not a member of the advance prospecting team.

Ning Xiaofan quickly explained: "Director Tang, I met the extra people on the road. Let me introduce you. These are members of the joint scientific expedition team of Xin'ao and Jiangnan University. Let me introduce you. This is Professor Zhao, Professor Wu, Dr. Li Wanting, and this... Captain Yang Haiyang, the security guard of the expedition team..."

After listening to Ning Xiaofan's introduction, Tang Yaoqiang suddenly said: "So it's from the Joint Scientific Expedition Team, I know, I know, but... why are there only these few people? Are there others? I have a list with more people This point, by the way, the team leader should be Wang Zhipeng from our company, why isn't he here?"

"This...it's a long story, I'll report it when I get back." Ning Xiaofan still replied vaguely.

"I see, I understand..." Tang Yaoqiang smiled meaningfully, and said, "Okay, let's stop talking outside. According to the regulations, before entering the base, you have to show your ID. This is a rule. So please understand."

"It should be." Ning Xiaofan smiled, took out his ID card, and then motioned for Fatty and others to take out their ID cards.

Fatty and the others looked ragged and in a state of distress. They didn't realize the IDs they carried with them, so they took them out one after another to reveal their identities.

After checking his identity, Tang Yaoqiang made a gesture of invitation and walked towards the iron gate.

Entering the iron gate, the iron gate closed slowly, the lights inside the iron gate were brightly lit, and a spacious hall came into view, however, the hall seemed empty without any facilities, except that there were a few facilities just opposite the hall. An elevator that is simply surrounded by iron railings.In front of each elevator, there are two armed guards.

When he arrived in front of one of the rather simple-looking elevators, Tang Yaoqiang stopped in his tracks, turned his head to the woman named Zhang Jiayi and said, "Director Zhang, Captain Ning and his party will be settled by you."

Zhang Jiayi nodded.

Then, Tang Yaoqiang looked at Professor Zhao, Li Wanting and the others and said, "For the joint scientific expedition team, please follow me, you have other arrangements."

When Tang Yaoqiang said this, Ning Xiaofan and the others were taken aback. Li Wanting was a little reluctant, and hurriedly said, "Director Tang, can't we be with Captain Ning and the others?"

Li Wanting paid more attention to the presence of outsiders, and did not reveal the relationship between the two, and directly called Ning Xiaofan as Captain Ning.
