Urban Legends: The Legacy of Ancient Civilizations

wrong!

Another person used a parachute to descend quickly!

The violent friction between the parachute surface and the air woke Aaron up early. It was almost an instinctive reaction, and he swam to the rock wall in a few seconds.

The next moment, there was a crisp popping sound, and the person who came down fell into the water. A cry of exclamation as she was about to fall into the water completely exposed her identity. It was undoubtedly Jiang Yingxue.

Unexpectedly, she would lose her temper and parachute down. There is only Ivan above. Can she really control the overall situation?

"Bai Ning?"

A few seconds later, a clear call sounded in the spacious environment. The voice was cold and without any panic. It seemed that there was no interference from mental pollution. She had figured out everything the moment she entered the water. matter.

"Where did the people above descend to?"

Bai Ning turned on a strong flashlight and shined it in Jiang Yingxue's direction, asking another businesslike question.

“About 2000 meters.

I didn't expect this tunnel to be so deep. "

Listening to the sound of water, Jiang Yingxue had already begun to swim in the direction of Bai Ning.

"You came at a bad time. We may have to stay here together for several days."

Bai Ning joked a little casually, not seeming to be in danger at all.

"Won't.

The second transport plane increases the intensity of training, and the equipment we need will be carried soon.

Although the environment here is a bit harsh, at least there is no mental pollution and it can be considered a good place. "

For saying such a decisive thing in such a casual tone, it is obvious how much price Jiang Yingxue paid behind the scenes.

“You should rest for a while first.

The water here is slowly falling, and we have no idea what is waiting for us at the bottom. "

Bai Ning glanced at the length of the rope on the rock wall. It already hung down by two or three meters. If it hadn't been wrapped in water and had a certain degree of buoyancy, the dagger inserted on the wall might have been overwhelmed.

At this time, Jiang Yingxue also saw the rope on the wall and said nothing more. Floating oneself to save energy was common sense in rescuing oneself from drowning. She did it without any difficulty.

The three of them floated quietly on the water, silently waiting for Ivan and others to extend the rope as soon as possible. However, just over an hour later, the water surface suddenly changed again, as if something drastic happened under the water. In the tunnel The water surface started to shake violently.

The heavily loaded dagger was finally overwhelmed and fell directly back into the water, causing some slight ripples.

As if some kind of drainage mechanism had been activated, the water surface in the tunnel was falling crazily. Based on the current falling speed, it was no different from falling directly from the air.

The surrounding rock walls are slippery and tough, and there is no place to climb and slow down. If they are carried by the current into an underground chamber, the only result will be to turn into a mass of organic matter to nourish the earth.

The water surface quickly dropped for 200 meters, and then suddenly stopped. The three people immediately submerged under the water with the inertia, and surfaced again. The surrounding space seemed to be wider.

I shined a bright flashlight into the water, but it was still pitch black, and I couldn't tell whether I had descended to the bottom.

"This seems to be a larger cavity, and there may be some building patterns nearby. It's best for us to separate and look around."

After finally calming down the chaotic atmosphere in his body, Bai Ning suggested with some difficulty that this was the only effective measure under the current circumstances. The remaining two people responded in a muffled voice and began to move their bodies with difficulty to swim around.

"The water here is only up to my waist."

Not long after, a sound of surprise came, and the sound of falling water droplets indicated that Jiang Yingxue had stood up.

Without any hesitation, Bai Ning and Aaron swam quickly in the direction of Jiang Yingxue. This shallow water area was not big, about five or six square meters, and it was a bit crowded with three people standing there.

Bai Ning looked around with a strong flashlight and discovered that this should be the high platform of an isolated building. The height from the ground was unknown.

"It seems that we have officially arrived at the underground ancient ruins. Let's replenish some energy."

Bai Ning said tiredly, and then took out all the little food he had on him. After the previous violent fluctuations in the water flow, the three of them had even less supplies. Even if the supplies were exhausted, they could only eat enough.

The only bag of self-heating field food provided precious calories for the three of them. The warm food entered their bellies, and the warm sun soothed their hearts like three winters. Their internal organs seemed to be slowly relaxing with the influx of hot food. unfold.

After eating the food, the water level had dropped to the depth of the calf. They continued to search with a strong flashlight. They were now under an arched dome. The previous tunnel hole was not far away, and it was still pitch black. , with no hope of survival in sight.

The water surface is still slowly descending, silently, like a beast slowly retreating in the darkness. This may be a temporary relief from the current crisis, but no one knows what greater crisis will emerge.

"Follow the water. No one knows how high this decorative platform is."

If this was a magnificent arched hall, it might be tens of meters high. The silent Aaron jumped into the water first and inspected it for a long time before resurfacing.

"The water is still dozens of meters deep, and a bright flashlight still can't penetrate the bottom."

Aaron raised his head and explained dullly, which was a warning in disguise.

The rapid retreat of the water flow before was too scary. If it happened again, their luck might not be so lucky.

Although the space here is narrow, when Ivan and others arrived here, it was not difficult for them to land safely.

"It's okay. The water flows downward and does not have lateral impact. Just hug this pillar when the time comes."

If you stay here, there is no point in using a parachute to descend quickly. Since Jiang Yingxue dares to come down, she is already prepared to deal with all crises.

The three of them slowly descended along the pillar. It only took more than an hour to reach a height of about 40 to [-] meters. When they stepped on solid ground again, the three of them breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although the three of them were extremely tired and wished they could sleep on the ground forever, but they were soaked and the ground was cold to the bone, they would probably never wake up if they slept here.

After stopping for a while, the three of them began to explore the huge underground space separately. While exploring the terrain, they also hoped to find some materials they had discarded before.

The large amount of gravel left on the ground made the three of them believe that they could find some basic supplies.

"There is a door here, but it's blocked."

There was a feedback from the direction of Aaron's exploration. As expected, the three of them did not stop and continued their exploration process.

Half an hour later, the entire space was finally explored. Except for the closed door that Aaron had discovered previously, this empty area was like an independent cavity.

Judging from the power of the Tunguska explosion, the energy core once placed here should be very huge. Various supporting equipment should occupy the remaining space here. How could it be as empty as it is now?

With such questions, Bai Ning slowly explored the central area of ​​the cavity, where there was a tunnel above, and a base one or two meters high on the ground, with a pile of rocks about ten meters high on top.

If they were lucky, the equipment they had discarded should be stuck in the rubble.

Without any hesitation, the three of them started to climb the low pile of rocks with their tired bodies. After a while, the three of them had gained something, and some self-heating convenience foods were rummaged out.

With trembling hands, they disassembled the self-heating bag. The warm feeling was like holding a can of red charcoal in winter. The three of them ate and searched, and a large amount of adventure equipment was found and gathered.

While eating warm food, while looking for equipment, the double heat guarantee gradually filled the body with vitality.

They leaned on the pile of rocks to rest for a while, as if all their sleepiness in this life was concentrated and rushing over. Knowing that they could not rest, the three of them steeled themselves and took stock of the supplies. They found that some of them had been found, and the rest had probably been scattered. In a huge cavity.

The three of them sat around a lit camping gas stove, and the warm flame gradually filled their stiff limbs with vitality.

People can fall asleep while squatting. The three of them were silent at the same time, and they had all entered a short sleep state.

After a while, Bai Ning woke up from his dream, stretched his muscles and bones, and found that the lit gas stove had not been extinguished, which meant that their rest time was not long.

At this time, Jiang Yingxue was already curled up and lying on the ground. It seemed that the fatigue during this period had made her collapse. A place without mental pollution was indeed the best place to sleep.

Aaron had also woken up long ago, and the shaking circle of light in the distance meant that he was looking for the remaining supplies.

"How about it, besides the doorway we found earlier, is there any other way out?"

Bai Ning's slightly hoarse question made the light circle in the distance freeze. The stopped light shone at Bai Ning, but there was no response.

what happened?

No matter how dull Aaron was, he should have responded with one or two words at this time. Just as doubts suddenly arose in Bai Ning's mind, the previous light source suddenly fell to the ground, making a series of rolling crunching sounds.

It was as if the being holding the light source suddenly disappeared.

Such a strange scene was staged in this dark underground space, which made Bai Ning immediately glance at the vicinity of the gas stove, and indeed he did not find Aaron's figure.

According to general logical reasoning, the person holding the light source must be Aaron.

"Aaron?"

Bai Ning asked in confusion, but no response came, as if Aaron had really disappeared completely.

Fantasy?

Strange creatures in ancient ruins?

A spirit capable of producing supernatural phenomena?

Various thoughts were tumbling in Bai Ning's mind. He didn't rush to confirm the area where the strange phenomenon had just occurred. Bai Ning directly woke up the sleeping Jiang Yingxue.

Jiang Yingxue, who was woken up, saw Bai Ning, and her eyes were full of doubts. He knew that Bai Ning would never wake her up for no reason, and there must be some sudden situation now.
