Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 82 Liquid Cliff
If this is the case, then it will not be the turn of the deep-sea giant eel to besiege the pioneer...

The tentacles of the fusion body can extend all the way beyond the submarine plateau, so it is naturally easy to drag the icebreaker on the sea into the abyss.

Could it be that this underwater city was covered by a detection "barrier" that could isolate it, which caused the fusion body not to attack the icebreaker, and the people on the icebreaker did not discover the underwater city?

This hypothesis is somewhat possible, but...

"what?!"

Ke Lan suddenly felt that his feet were empty, and the whole person actually fell down again!
"What's the matter..." Ke Lan subconsciously looked at the drainage airbag beside him, but the surface of the airbag was intact and there was no air leakage, but in the last second, the balance between gravity and buoyancy was still in balance. state, and now, Ke Lan is rapidly sinking into the deep sea——

"...It's a liquid cliff!" He reacted abruptly. This is a natural phenomenon that is not very common. In the ocean, due to the different depths of seawater salinity, water temperature and water pressure, with the As the depth increases, several vertical layers of "pyroclines" appear in the seawater, which are well-defined and rarely circulate and blend with each other...but in some places, the boundaries between these layers will be Appears and disappears, forming a "buoyant fault" like a cliff.

In the old era, liquid cliffs could be said to be the number one killer of submarines, but since humans have applied the "light-sensing densitometer" to submarine operations, very few submarines have strayed into the liquid cliffs... But it is the detection on Ke Lan's body. The equipment has all failed, and facing this liquid cliff that cannot be detected with the naked eye, it is simply impossible to guard against.

"You must go up immediately... Otherwise, if you exceed the critical depth, you will really be buried at the bottom of the sea!" Ke Lan took out the compressed air bottle again, trying to inflate the drainage air bag to obtain greater buoyancy, but just as he was operating At that time, the airtight valve of the drainage airbag suddenly burst, and the gas inside was suddenly squeezed out by the huge water pressure, forming a long series of air bubbles!
"Fuck!"

Obviously, in the encounter with the fusion body, the damaged equipment is not only the propeller - first it was sucked into the seabed by a huge force, and then all the gas in the air bag was released in just a few seconds... …These actions will cause irreversible and serious damage to the airtight valve. Even if the strength of these parts is high, there is still a tolerance limit...

"Today is really... Misfortunes do not come singly." Feeling the pressure around him getting stronger and stronger, Ke Lan sighed with regret.

He has done his best, and in this situation, I am afraid that only a miracle can save him.

There seemed to be a pair of big hands rubbing against Ke Lan's internal organs. His eyes began to turn black, and his ears were full of buzzing beeps—the effect of the muscle strengthening agent had ended. The unbearable bloating pain reappeared, and a fishy and sweet smell came up from his throat. In addition, he could also feel some viscous liquid flowing from his nostrils and ears.

"I'm not reconciled."

He closed his eyes, but at this moment, he suddenly saw a strong white light - the light was as blazing as the sun, even if the eyelids were burning, his eyes hurt, and there was only one left in the field of vision. A perfect pure white!

"Under the sea...how could it be possible...there will be a sun..."

Ke Lan tried his best to open his eyes, but he couldn't see anything except white.

"Could it be... an hallucination of dying?"

He stretched out his hand, but he couldn't see his arm, it seemed that even his body was melted into the blazing light.

"What kind of stuff is this... If it's an illusion... I hope to see... an angel sister with long breasts and thighs... come to pick me up to heaven..."

"Oh almost forgot... I'm an atheist... There's no place for me in heaven..."

Gradually, Ke Lan's consciousness began to blur, he could no longer feel the existence of his body, and even his thinking began to become a little sluggish.

……

……

"Why did I faint again... Hey, I'm still alive?" When Ke Lan regained consciousness again, the first thing that caught his eye was a pile of wet sand. A pose with his butt upside down on a beach...

beach? !
Ke Lan immediately wanted to jump up, but the cumbersome diving suit on his body restricted his movements - not only did he fail to jump up, but instead he fell to one side and smashed a human figure in the sand. the shallow pit.

"What the hell is going on?!... I didn't... Didn't I fall into the deep sea? Where is this?" Just the movement of turning over almost used up all his strength.

Behind it was a bare beach, nothing but the mud and sand soaked in seawater, and further afield, there was a long strip of bare bedrock that had been eroded into strange shapes.

Is this land...or an island?
When Ke Lan turned to look at the sea, the scene on the sea made him stunned in place——

A city, a typical Alpha civilized city composed of countless towers, is standing above the sea in the distance... Moreover, above this city, countless aircraft that have never been seen by human beings are shuttled back and forth. , the channels constructed by holographic projections form a sophisticated and complex traffic network above the city...

This is not a relic, but a "living" Alpha civilization city!
"This... is absolutely impossible!" Ke Lan gritted his teeth and said word by word.

If such a city existed, it would have been discovered by humans long ago!
Soon, he discovered something was wrong-over time, some buildings disappeared mysteriously, and some new buildings appeared on the other side of the city without a sound.

"So it is."

This is not a real city, but a mirage... With the movement of the clouds, the light is disturbed, and the city has those seemingly strange changes - the lower half of a tower is completely missing, The upper part is still firmly "suspended" in mid-air, and what's more, the entire building has been turned upside down, and it looks as if it is in a time and space that is completely confused with its surroundings.

The scene shown by this mirage may have been separated by tens of thousands of years from now. On the earth, there have also been mirages "from ancient times".

Compared with this mirage, what Ke Lan wanted to know more at the moment was what happened to him after he was in a coma, and why he did not sink to the bottom of the sea, but appeared in this strange place.

At that depth, he can only sink deeper and deeper. Even if he encounters an undercurrent, it is impossible to wash himself above the sea... What's more, the coast closest to the Pioneer icebreaker is hundreds of nautical miles away, even if it is all the way. With the wind, he would have to float for more than ten days before he could land on the shore.

The diving suit is fully enclosed. In more than ten days, all the oxygen generators have been used up, and Ke Lan has long been suffocated to death, but now, there are almost three points of oxygen generators left. one.

The time he passed out of a coma would not exceed eight hours at most.
