Chapter 90.
Ji Anmin was so close that he was able to see clearly that under the reflection of the strange light, a terrifying twisted tentacle broke through the seabed and rose out from the drilling site.
The huge polycrystalline diamond composite drill bit was rotating at high speed, and the tentacle that jumped out seemed even bigger than it. It carried a dazzling light in the turbid sea water and struck down fiercely.
The drill bit was knocked crooked, but the soft-looking tentacles appeared to be completely intact.
It quickly wrapped around it, and climbed upwards with the inertia of its rotation. As the light became increasingly intense, violent vibrations were heard.
The drill connecting rod also fell apart due to the almost brutal movement of the tentacle, and the hard alloy steel was directly twisted into a twist-like shape by the huge tearing force.
This scene was so horrifying that Ji Anmin was stunned for a long time before he reacted.
Then he realized that this thing was about to break through the sea level and would appear directly on the drilling platform.
That is the crisis of this copy!
The people above must be informed in advance so that they can be prepared.
When Ji Anmin was about to operate the diving bell to ascend, he suddenly felt a warm, fishy and sweet liquid flowing down his nasal cavity.
He subconsciously reached out to wipe it, and found that blood began to flow from the corners of his eyes and ears. At first he thought it was the decompression effect caused by the rapid ascent of the diving bell.
But the blood was like a faucet without a valve; it could not be stopped, and in the end it almost flowed out in a gushing manner.
Ji Anmin tried hard to control his blurred consciousness and forced the diving bell to float up. The sea level above his head was getting closer and closer, and he would be able to break out of the water in almost the next second.
However, his eyesight was getting worse and worse, and every organ in his body was experiencing severe tearing pain, which made him scream uncontrollably.
Just before he lost consciousness, Ji Anmin seemed to see his skin cracking open in the black and red before his eyes, and the scarlet flesh inside looked like young sprouts breaking through the ground.
They are growing wildly...
The moment the tentacles destroyed the drill bit, the entire drilling platform shook violently. The participants were caught off guard and were instantly knocked to the ground.
When the accident happened, Tang Yu had just come out of her boss' office after submitting her application for transfer. Her maintenance tasks today were relatively simple and she had already completed them, so she was free to move around at this time.
Tang Yu stood by the railing admiring the huge flame of the burning tower in the distance. That thing was specially used to consume excess combustion gas. At this time, the fiery red light was like the rising sun.
The tremor came unexpectedly.
Tang Yu only had time to grab the railing in front of her. When she fell to the ground, she watched one of her teammates being thrown out.
The man hit the railing and unfortunately failed to hold on. He screamed and fell directly into the rolling waves.
This happened more than once. The entire drilling platform was like a small boat swaying in the wind, rain and waves, experiencing unprecedented vibrations.
Tang Yu had no choice but to hold on tightly to the railing in front of him.
After about half a minute, the horrible tremor gradually stopped. At the same time, the "boss's" mental control seemed to disappear.
The participants who were forced to work were finally able to start moving freely, and the first thing Tang Yu thought of was to find his teammates.
After getting on the drilling platform, because men and women sleep in separate rooms, the five people had already made a plan: if they encountered danger and were separated, they would find a way to reunite in the dormitory area.
Tang Yu was holding the railing and preparing to go to the dormitory area. When he was halfway there, he happened to meet Ning Xuanqing who came over.
Before Tang Yu could ask, Ning Xuanqing explained why she was here.
"The road was blocked, so we had to go around from the engineering area and pass under the drilling platform."
Tang Yu nodded: "Will Li Jia and the others come directly to us because the road is blocked?"
Ning Xuanqing thought for a moment and shook his head, "Probably not. I pay attention to their task list every day. Today, the three of them are all in the engineering area. If they come over, we can just meet them."
At this time, the drilling platform would occasionally experience slight tremors, most of the equipment would be damaged, and the leaked oil would explode, further destroying the platform.
Suddenly, smoke and dust billowed everywhere. A huge container collapsed, and the equipment inside was scattered everywhere. The survivors ran around in panic.
The whole scene looked like hell.
The platform is very large, and no one knows what happened yet.
"It's possible that the platform hit something, causing an air trap or gas explosion." Tang Yu guessed.
This is knowledge from the training manual.
Ning Xuanqing nodded, but her eyebrows knitted deeply. She said, "I hope so."
Hand in hand, the two of them walked down along the floating bridge. Some roads were so badly damaged that they were impossible to walk on. The two of them walked around for a long time before they reached the construction area.
There, the two suddenly heard a series of strange screams. When they followed the sound, they found that the sound came from the diving bell.
Tang Yu immediately spotted Wilder standing on the operating table. She pointed in the direction of the diving bell and asked him, "What happened?"
Wilder came back to his senses. He looked at the two of them in a daze, and said as if he had just woken up from a dream: "The cable is stuck. I have to release the main brake to pull the diving bell up."
Tang Yu: "I mean, what happened to the people inside?"
The cry was so miserable that it was hard to imagine what a person had to go through to make such a horrible sound.
Wilder: "Maybe it's a side effect of the stress reduction effect."
Ning Xuanqing's emerald eyes stared at Wilder's face, with a look of scrutiny: "Do you need help? You don't look very well."
Wilder looked particularly haggard at this moment, as if he had not slept for many days, and he looked tired and pale.
Wilder shook his head randomly and said, "No, no, you guys go do your own things first, I can handle it here."
Hearing him say this, the two of them hurriedly said goodbye and went downstairs again. Fortunately, the elevator was barely usable.
As the elevator carried the two people through the platform deck, Tang Yu finally saw what was happening.
A huge tentacle quietly wrapped around the drill connecting rod.
The skin of the tentacles was covered with ugly pus-like tumors, with densely packed red and black patches and sticky liquid attached to them.
The suction cups were firmly attached to the drill bit's connecting rod, and long tentacles extended from the seabed to the end of the connecting rod, rising and falling like living things breathing.
What’s even more bizarre is that there is always a layer of shining colorful light lingering around the terrifying giant, like the colors emitted by polygonal glass under the sunlight.
It actually adds a sense of sacredness to this ugly monster!
When they saw this scene, Tang Yu and Ning Xuanqing were both so shocked that they were speechless. Even standing far away, they could imagine the enormity and terror of that thing.
"Did it destroy the drilling platform?!" Tang Yu said this fact in disbelief. She murmured, "Or am I hallucinating?"
Ning Xuanqing was stunned for a long time before she found her voice. She trembled slightly and said, "I, I saw it too."
"What on earth is that?"
"I don't know either."
The moment she saw the tentacle, Ning Xuanqing's sixth sense kicked in. A creepy sense of crisis rose from her heart, making her want to scream.
Even though he had experienced many copies and witnessed many strange things, Ning Xuanqing was still afraid of this extraordinary scene.
It was like the giant monster that appeared in disaster movies. Only when you saw it with your own eyes would you know how much oppression such an existence brought.
What's more, what appeared in front of the two of them was just a tentacle.
Is that really something that could appear on Earth?
The two couldn't help but look at each other and saw each other's pale faces. At a certain moment, they both regretted coming to participate in this copy.
Ning Xuanqing's sixth sense continued to warn them that this place was extremely dangerous. They did not dare to stay any longer and quickly crossed the floating bridge and entered pillar A under the platform.
In the space around the platform's pillars are various pipes and cooling water tanks. Workers need to come here for maintenance from time to time, so the road here can lead to the other side of the platform.
Fortunately, the supporting facilities were extremely strong and not damaged too much. However, perhaps the power facilities were damaged and the interior of the entire pillar was extremely dark.
Tang Yu took out two flashlights from his space backpack and gave one to Ning Xuanqing for lighting.
The flashlight beam swept around, and the two saw that water had begun to seep into the ground, and a thin layer of water had formed under their feet.
Some pipes were broken and were spewing out high-temperature steam.
At this moment, they heard the iconic voice of "Boss" again above their heads.
"Employees, please don't panic. This is just a temporary crisis and will be dealt with soon. Please stay where you are. We may start work at any time!"
"This boss is such a jerk!" Ning Xuanqing couldn't help but complain.
If she and Tang Yu had not seen the horrible monster under the deck with their own eyes, they would have believed such nonsense.
Tang Yu nodded sympathetically and said, "Let's go around and tell everyone about this situation."
Just as he finished speaking, a strange "splash" sound was heard, as if something was passing through the water.
Tang Yu turned to look at Ning Xuanqing and asked, "Could it be that one of the participants is down there?"
The equipment below requires daily maintenance, so it is normal to have workers inside the pillar.
If we can find that person and tell him about the danger here, we can ask him to help spread the news.
Ning Xuanqing looked inside the sealed pillar. It was impossible for anything from outside to come in, so the only person moving around here could be a person.
She nodded: "Maybe, we..."
Before he could finish his words, a roar like that of a wild beast sounded, causing echoes in the empty environment.
This is absolutely impossible to be a sound made by a human being!
At the same time, the needle-like sense of crisis came again, Ning Xuanqing's face darkened, and he said: "Hurry up and leave, that thing is wrong!"
