Beneath Deep Space

After walking for a while, a huge problem appeared in front of people: there were almost no upward paths at various forks, only downward paths.

If this continues, people can only go deeper and deeper, all the way to the ground!

I don't know how big this underground cave is. People walked and crawled for two hours without seeing any end... It couldn't lead all the way to the magma layer of the mantle, right?

In fact, people have also discovered several upward paths. However, most of them are heading in the wrong direction, even leading to the nuclear engine!

The other few, with a human body plus power armor, are too large to pass.

what to do? With a depth of five hundred meters underground, it is impossible for people to dig upward!

This is a question before everyone in the team.

People can only save more refrigeration gas, take faster and bigger steps, and try to find a real way out within a limited time.

This is not to say that Yu Yifeng took the wrong path. In fact, the direction he chose was definitely the right one.

Moreover, the map drawn by geologists also pointed directly to the exit of the cave in Area B11, but I did not expect this to happen!

Now people can only bite the bullet and continue to move forward. Even if it goes a little further, it is good. You can't go back and eat nuclear bombs...

"Everyone, hold on and walk a few more kilometers!"

I have to say that long-term hardship and suffering may really strengthen people's willpower. Since the birth of new human civilization, it has never been fully enjoyed...

The troubled environment has inadvertently tempered the spiritual will of every citizen. When they encounter a disaster, they will not immediately think about escaping, but think about how to overcome it.

Everyone's life belongs to themselves, and everyone must be responsible for themselves. In this case, complaining will not help, but will spread negative emotions. Everyone understood this, so they followed behind silently while holding their breath.

Several patients who had been injected with broad-spectrum immune drugs actually suffered from severe pain in joints throughout their bodies, but they endured it without saying a word; several people who had broken leg bones were sweating profusely in pain even after taking painkillers. , but they all remained silent.

Occasionally, a few scientists have the leisure to sigh: how novel the strange environment underground is, how strange these creatures are, which slightly dissipates the heavy atmosphere...

A slight touch appeared in Yifeng's heart...

The more than 80 scientists and engineers and nearly 20 soldiers here were carefully selected over a three-year period.

They survived in this hellish place called Knick for two months. They ate canned food every day. Once they stepped out of the base, it was so dark that they couldn't see their fingers. They also had to wear power armor all day long.

In this environment, maybe... the nerves have become extremely thick.

However, why do they come here to open up wasteland?

There is no way, we can't leave all the land reclamation work to robots, someone has to come, and this is their responsibility. Similarly, exploring the unknown is also their hobby and the meaning they pursue in life...

The slogan "for all mankind" is too empty and too broad. More importantly, they just want to satisfy their inner desire for exploration and fulfill their responsibilities...

People will always do some stupid things in their life, stupidly love someone, or stupidly do something that is not in line with their own interests.

For some things, you know that completing it will not bring benefits to you. Just like this time, the land reclamation does not have much personal benefit, but there are still so many people voluntarily going...

Human beings are such contradictory creatures. Each of them desires benefits, but it is impossible for them to always choose the plan that is most beneficial to them... just like the program.

This is the biggest difference between humans and real artificial intelligence.

"It's coming soon! Come on, everyone!" Yu Yifeng kept cheering for everyone.

Wherever he is, there is always a sun that warms people's hearts. This is an ability that others do not possess.

There is not no light inside the cave, but the slightly glowing fungus is not enough to illuminate the place. People can only use the night vision function inside the helmet.

There are two types of night vision functions, namely low-light technology and infrared thermal imaging technology.

Generally speaking, the images seen with low-light technology are closer to what people usually see, but the colors are more monotonous.

However, when a few scientists curiously used infrared vision to observe underground animals, they discovered something different.

They found that almost every living thing has a particularly bright red spot inside it, somewhat like the human heart.

This red dot does not jump, just like a stable heat source!

Scientists were amazed that this may be a special energy storage organ of underground creatures... It is a pity that samples cannot be captured now.

It is extremely humid here. If you touch the rock wall with your hands, you will find that it is as slippery as soap and feels very uncomfortable.

In three hours, people walked and climbed 20 to 30 kilometers. This speed is fast enough, but this is not a straight road, but an uneven cave!

Sometimes, the cave is not even one meter high, and people have to crawl over on their stomachs and crawl one by one.

The scraping sound of the power armor against the rocks made a harsh sound, which echoed several times in the cave, and stimulated a large number of cave creatures to fly around, and even crawl on people.

When they touched the cold power armor, they squeaked and fled as if they had touched some taboo.

Power armor, good thing people have power armor!

Without this sturdy and durable thing, the crawling cave creatures alone could scare people to death.

When people climbed through the last short hole again, they finally came to a spacious place!

This spacious cave is approximately more than 200 square meters, and is firmly supported by several thick rock pillars in the middle.

The rock surface is the result of acid corrosion and is extremely hard and solid.

"Captain, take a rest!"

Engineer William suggested: "After driving for twenty or thirty kilometers in a row, we really can't walk anymore. And I suspect that we are already underground at the exit of the cave. But how do we go up? There may be several layers in between! Isn’t it possible to dig it out?”

Yu Yifeng also smiled bitterly and said: "It's really terrible. According to the compass and the map drawn on the expert's computer, we have indeed reached our destination. However, there is still a five-hundred-meter-thick rock above. Or... we are here waiting for rescue. ?”

As he spoke, he paused again: "...I wonder if the nuclear explosion in three hours will affect this place."

Another young soldier also said: "Captain, how about we continue to explore the surroundings for a while. We can still walk and see if there is a way to the top."

Yu Yifeng thought for a moment, nodded decisively and said: "Okay, you will act together as a team and are not allowed to disperse. Also, you must be back within half an hour, so all of you must raise your vigilance to the highest level. Do you hear me?" !”

These people immediately stood up straight and made a military salute: "Yes, sir!"

They hurried into a hole.

At this moment, a sound like shaking a mountain came from a distance, and each of them lost their standing and fell to the ground.

Then everyone heard a loud noise!

The nuclear engine exploded prematurely!

Yu Yifeng jumped up suddenly and shouted: "There's an earthquake!"

"Everyone! Get close to the wall or pillar! Put your head in your hands! Quick! Quick!"
