Chapter 46 Skeleton "Every five seconds, I kill one person"...
The other team members in the corridor are definitely not as leisurely as Xu An.
As soon as he opened the door, the strong wind blew up gravel and hit his face. The long blood mark was whipped by the dust in the wind and the brown and yellow hair on his forehead.
High in the sky, Baili Yunle just frowned slightly and looked down.
"What is this place?" someone in the team asked.
The door behind them had been sealed tightly against the wall, leaving no room for a crack. The dim room was already filled with gravity bodies, and the only bright spot in front of them was filled with a strong wind. Leaning out, they saw that they were trapped in a protruding stone room on the cliff face, with purple water crashing against the cliff face below.
The strong radiation causes traces of corrosion to be seen on the rocks every time the sea water hits them.
"Deputy Captain, I've checked. The door won't open. The entire room is completely suspended in mid-air."
"It's like we appeared out of nowhere in this place. And this is underground, so why is there an ocean? Is this an illusion?"
Baili Yunle nodded slightly, the scratches on his face faintly visible under his hair. He put the dagger into his leg bag, then took out a climbing rope, tied one end firmly to the house, and then jumped deep down.
The rapid descent made him increasingly sensitive to the wind, sending the climbing rope flying everywhere. Baili Yunle wrapped the rope tightly around his wrist, swaying with the wind, and landed firmly on a sheltered cliff.
The sea water was still surging, and a few drops rose up and splashed on Baili Yunle's heels, immediately eroding large chunks of his heels.
Baili Yunle took a few steps forward, then activated the backup chip and threw it down.
"Detect the surrounding environment."
As he spoke, Baili Yunle turned on the headset to connect it to the backup chip. A real-time lens extended with the message "Connection successful". Baili Yunle watched as the purple sea water gradually submerged his vision, and everything around him became hazy.
This was Baili Yunle's first close contact with the sea.
What he saw was completely different from the description in the base archives. Not only was the color different, but the visibility was also vastly different from what was recorded. Aside from the bubbles splashed by the chip's rapid activity, he couldn't see anything at all, let alone the various colorful fish-like creatures described in the archives.
As the spare chip slowly sank to the bottom, the crackling sound of electricity gradually exploded in my ears.
"Warning, the detected radiation value is too high, the chip is about to be damaged."
The lens in front of his eyes kept flashing red light, and the bubbles splashed by the chip increased. When it was about to break, a large gray-white object suddenly appeared in Baili Yunle's sight.
He immediately operated the chip to sink to the bottom quickly.
The alarm grew louder and louder, the red light flashed more and more rapidly, and among the bubbles that filled his vision, he saw a skeleton.
The entire seabed is covered with skeletons.
Baili Yunle widened his eyes.
The skeletons were complete, large, and animal-like, complete with claws and teeth. They also had long tail bones, likely tails, measuring an average of three meters in length. They closely resembled the marine life documented in the archives. Furthermore, the skeletons had been deformed by water and were approximately a century old.
Baili Yunle suppressed his shock and continued to adjust the spare chip to sink downwards.
The entire seabed was covered with these skeletons without exception. The chip was on the verge of being scrapped. Baili Yunle was about to disconnect it when he suddenly caught sight of a piece of broken bone with protrusions at both ends of the back.
The red light suddenly began to flash, stinging Baili Yunle's eyes and causing them to ache. He immediately disconnected the connection and held the rope tightly for a long time before recovering.
"Deputy Captain! Are you okay, Deputy Captain? What did you see?"
Hearing the sound, Baili Yunle shook his head and pulled the rope to climb up again.
The dizziness in my head hasn't passed yet, but I can't care about that now.
"Hurry up and contact everyone. This sea isn't an illusion, and the entire ant nest isn't hidden underground. It's on the sea!" He shook his head, holding onto the wall next to him, and quickly tuned the headset's receiving frequency to the hertz agreed upon by the four of them. "The ant nest isn't underground, it's on the sea! There are strange skeletons in the sea, like a combination of marine life and alien species. Some mutated marine creatures even have wing bones on their backs! Aliens are mutated marine creatures!"
A feeling of dizziness and suffocation from speaking a long paragraph in one breath came over Baili Yunle's heart. His chest heaved violently, and it took him ten seconds to catch his breath. However, the headset did not carry the voices of any of the other three people, but the voice of a strange woman.
"How clever." As the woman's voice fell, the only passage in the room was cut off by a door that suddenly lowered, plunging the entire room into darkness again. He heard the woman continue, "I didn't want to bring you here so early, but since you figured it out, I can't let you ruin our operation."
"What do you mean?" Before he could finish his words, the ground suddenly shook, and the rocks on the cliff connected to the house were gradually peeled off, hitting the house with a loud bang.
“The house is starting to tilt!”
"I'm going to fall into the sea!"
With one final cry, the entire room collapsed. The intense sensation of falling sent everyone crashing to the ceiling, and the whistling wind outside instantly turned into the suffocating sound of drowning.
The house's fall slowed down, and the people on the ceiling fell back to the ground.
Baili Yunle was dazed from the fall and barely managed to get up. As he regained his footing, he heard the sound of mechanical handover, followed by a thrust that sent him backwards. The entire room was moving forward at an unexpected speed!
The team members were thrown all over the room, and the gravity bodies collided with each other, creating sparks in the darkness. Every time Baili Yunle brushed past these sparks, he regretted giving up the gravity body to others just for show.
The room didn't stop until three minutes had passed.
The spiraling sound became clearer and clearer. After a series of "clicks," the "walls" around the house suddenly opened, and the dazzling light blinded my eyes for a moment. After recovering, I saw the endless glass laboratory workbench around me.
The entire room was about the size of a mecha training base. The surrounding walls were inlaid with thick transparent glass, through which one could clearly see the purple sea water outside and several winding passages that looked like other places. They were trapped in a cage made of electric nets.
A woman slowly walked over from the front, smiled and waved: "Hello, I'm Lin Yu."
"You are Lin Yu!"
There was a moment of silence in the team.
No one would believe that a person who lived more than a hundred years ago would stand in front of them intact.
Baili Yunle took out a gun and pointed it at Lin Yu's head: "Where is this place? Why did you bring us here?"
Lin Yu ignored his gun, walked leisurely to the operating table, and accurately transmitted a coordinate to Baili Yunle's chip.
"Don't be so hostile. I just want to ask you for a favor." She pointed at the coordinates on the large operating screen and looked at Baili Yunle: "Send these coordinates to the base."
This coordinate is not far from the coordinates of the ant nest. It is estimated that it should be in the sea connected to the ant nest.
"You want to move the base to this damn place?!" Baili Yunle gripped the gun tightly. "Why do you think we will agree to this?"
"This is made of a special electrical grid. It can only be attacked from one direction from the outside. The internal network will reflect all attacks. I advise you not to act rashly." Lin Yu put down the operating chip in his hand and looked at him with a smile: "Also, are you really not going to send the coordinates to the base?"
Baili Yunle frowned but remained motionless.
Lin Yu smiled and said, "How loyal."
As she clapped her hands, several infrared laser scanners suddenly appeared above the cage, and the next second, the light fell instantly, and a person in the cage was instantly split into two.
The whole room was silent for a few seconds.
Lin Yu still smiled: "Then from now on, every five seconds, I will kill one person until you send the coordinates."
"You!" Baili Yunle's hands were shaking with anger, and on the ground, the separated pieces of flesh lay quietly among the crowd, without even a sound or blood.
"Five..." Lin Yu clapped his hands with a smile, and another laser beam shot down, instantly splitting the gravity body in half. The person in the cab was also cut in half by the laser, and the charred skin instantly tightened, and even blood could not flow out.
There was a commotion in the cage, but it only lasted three seconds before everyone drove their gravity bodies to surround Baili Yunle.
"It's death anyway, do you think we're afraid of you? Deputy Captain, don't agree to her!"
"That's right. I've already sent the suicide note, so I have no regrets. I'm dead!"
"Being locked up in this cage as an ornamental monkey is already frustrating enough. I don't want to be the culprit for forcing the base to suffer. Deputy Captain, ignore her!"
"If we die today, we'll be considered dead classmates. It's worth it!"
"You guys..." Baili Yunle was firmly protected by the gravity body under the infrared laser scanner. He stretched his head out and let his already pitifully small voice out: "That's right, we're all going to die anyway. Instead of sending the coordinates to the base, why not send them to everyone so that everyone knows the ant nest is a trap!"
Lin Yu was slightly surprised by their reactions, but soon sneered, "The chip's transmission function has been blocked in this room. Your message can't be sent to anyone other than the people in this room. I'm kindly advising you not to send it, in order to avoid upsetting you."
"Who knows whether what you said is true or false!" Baili Yunle snorted coldly, quickly adjusted the frequency for receiving information agreed upon by the four people, and sent the coordinates with one click.
Lin Yu sighed softly.
Following her sigh, there was the vibration sound of the chip receiving the message.
Baili Yunle suddenly looked up in the direction of the voice, and saw a figure slowly walking out from the corner.
"You..." Baili Yunle widened his eyes in disbelief.
At the junction of light and darkness, the face was both clear and blurry. Xu An walked out along the neon tube, his voice extremely cold: "Did you send it yourself, or did I control you to send it?"
