Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 90 Underwater Cave
Since this place has been marked with a star, it must be a very important place for this team... But why is it in the sea?

From the relics of the two soldiers, Ke Lan did not find any diving equipment. If they wanted to reach the star position, they must first solve the problem of the highly poisonous and radiation of the seawater - to take a step back, even if they were fearless. The soldier's armor can be waterproof and radiation-proof. The key is that this thing is not equipped with airbags and propellers. If you throw it into the sea, it will sink to the bottom, and it will not be useful at all...

Wait a minute... sink to the bottom?
Ke Lan's eyes swept across the pitch-black sea. The surface of the water near the coast is exactly the same, and there is nothing special about it, even the position of the star point is the same...

But the same on the sea surface does not mean that the situation on the bottom of the sea is the same, so... the star on this map probably refers to the bottom of the sea rather than the surface of the sea...

The place 50 meters away from the coast should still be within the scope of the continental shelf, and the depth will not be too deep. Even without diving equipment, as long as proper protection measures are taken, you can dive to the bottom of the star point with bare hands.

Since the star punctuation is not written with the word "dangerous", it means that this place should be relatively safe, but I don't know what is there.

After packing up these things, Ke Lan returned to the beach where he woke up.

The diving suit is still on the beach. After this level of torment, although the propellers and other equipment have all been scrapped, the diving suit itself is still not damaged - the military-grade equipment may not function. Those same kind of civilian products are bells and whistles, but in terms of the leather and grass resistance, they must have completely exploded the vast majority of civilian products.

Otherwise, the things that flow out of the army will not be driven up to sky-high prices on the black market-in this era, military supplies are almost equated with good things.

Ke Lan put on this heavy diving suit again, and after checking the airtightness, he walked step by step towards the star on the map.

On the beach, every time he raised his leg, Ke Lan had to mobilize the muscles of his whole body to exert force together. After walking a few dozen steps, his physical strength was exhausted. Fortunately, after entering the water, the buoyancy helped him. It offset the weight of a part of the equipment, which made him a little more relaxed.

……

"It should be... it's almost this position..."

At this position, the water depth was only about three meters, but the visibility was surprisingly poor. In addition, the searchlight was broken, so Ke Lan could only use a faint light cast from the water to carefully explore.

This place is still part of the beach, with a layer of fine sand underfoot, the terrain is flat, there are neither reefs nor any aquatic life - just like the sea, there is "nothing" here.

"Isn't this map out of time?" Ke Lan was a little worried. If the stars on the map could help him leave this deserted island, would the seal team survive? Has the attacker escaped with the help of the things here?Just leave such an outdated map that has been "obsolete"?
This possibility cannot be ruled out...

Just when Ke Lan admitted that he was unlucky and decided to give up the search, he suddenly stepped on a space under his feet, and the whole person slammed down and slid into a hole-under the sand, it turned out to be There is a hidden passageway!

Don't think too much, the star on the map must be pointing to this passage!

Ke Lan, who fell to the bottom of the passage in one breath, turned on the flashlight and looked around the surroundings - this was an "L" shaped passage, the whole passage was filled with sea water, and he was just vertical from the "L". The part that slid down, now in front of him, was the horizontal part of the "L".

The walls of the passages on both sides are very smooth, and it is difficult to tell whether they are naturally formed or artificially excavated. However, at the connection between the vertical passage and the horizontal passage, there is a mark - a steel nail that was driven into the rock formation. The nail cap of the steel nail has an etched five-pointed star logo on it.

"It looks like I've found the right place..." Ke Lan pointed the flashlight at the depths of the passage. This flashlight uses a lithium battery, and neither the brightness nor the penetrating power can match the searchlight on the diving suit. Compared, in this passage without any external light source, Ke Lan's field of vision is only about five meters.

If there is a Seed of Erosion hidden in this passage... I am afraid that before Ke Lan can see it, its tentacles will be able to pierce Ke Lan's heart.

This is indeed not marked as a dangerous area on the map, but it was safe decades ago, but it does not mean that it is still safe now... The Resurrected Seed of Erosion is a good example.

Holding the flashlight in one hand and holding the stalagmite in front of him in the other, Ke Lan walked forward slowly...

……

Fortunately, there was nothing but seawater in this passage. After walking forward for hundreds of meters, the passage began to have an upward slope. Climbing up along this slope, Ke Lan did not go far. It's out of the water!
What appeared in front of him was a huge underwater cave!

He is now realizing that he has made a very elementary mistake: Although the possibility of groundwater on this dry desert island is extremely low, in a certain sense, the seawater intruding into the rock formation is also a kind of groundwater. And this undersea cave was eroded by seawater.

"Gan... It turns out that the cave is here..." Ke Lan's eyes swept over the stalactites hanging on the top of the cave. If these stalactites have the same effect as the stalagmites in hand, wouldn't this place be a special place to deal with erosion. Seed's super arsenal? !
